Chapter 33 Ye Shiling's mother and son go to the town (2) The second prince who made a generous move
The efficiency of the people in Deqingtang is really high, and after a while, the kung fu shopkeeper came. As soon as the shopkeeper came, he invited Ye Shiling's mother and daughter to the side hall, which has always entertained VIPs.
Ye Shiling's mother and daughter followed the shopkeeper to the side hall, and soon someone brought tea.
The shopkeeper introduced himself to Ye Shiling's mother and daughter, and said: "The contemptible surname is Zhang, and everyone calls me Zhang. I don't know what good things the two distinguished customers are going to come to our store. ”
He Mengru saw that the shopkeeper Zhang treated people so generously, and he was much more relieved. He Mengru smiled at Ye Shiling and nodded.
Ye Shiling also nodded to He Mengru, took the package from He Mengru's hand, and then said to Shopkeeper Zhang while opening the package: "Shopkeeper Zhang, this is the century-old ginseng we finally obtained, look at it, how much is this ginseng worth!" Ye Shiling's mother and daughter both felt that this shopkeeper was a real person, and He Mengru was originally from a famous family, so she also knew a little about this.
When the shopkeeper opened the package by Ye Shiling, he felt that the ginseng in Ye Shiling's hand was particularly good. Although the shopkeeper Zhang is not very professional, the shopkeeper Zhang has been in this industry for so many years, and he still has this experience after so many years.
Shopkeeper Zhang took the ginseng from Ye Shiling's hand, and then looked at it cautiously and was shocked. This ginseng is the best of ginseng, and it is more than 100 years old. Nowadays, there are very few such superlatives, and even fewer are so old. Shopkeeper Zhang exchanged the ginseng for Ye Shiling, bowed to Ye Shiling's mother and daughter, and said, "The two distinguished guests are here for a while. It just so happens that our proprietor is also here, and I will invite him to come over and discuss this matter with your distinguished guests. After the shopkeeper bowed, he left the side hall. Then he explained to his subordinates that he had something to go out, so that people could greet Ye Shiling's mother and daughter. After explaining the matter, the shopkeeper Zhang personally went to invite the owner of Deqing Hall - Pengyun, the second palace of the palace, which is also a coincidence, this time the second palace Pengyun happened to come to find medicinal materials for his mother and concubine, and happened to pass by Nan'an Town.
The shopkeeper took the token and came to a small house, and the doorman saw the token and put the shopkeeper in. Shopkeeper Zhang saw the Second Emperor Palace Pengyun all the way unimpeded, and when he saw the Second Emperor Palace Pengyun, the Second Emperor Palace Pengyun was handling official business in the study. The Second Emperor Palace Pengyun knew that Shopkeeper Zhang was coming, so he immediately invited Shopkeeper Zhang in.
After Shopkeeper Zhang entered the study, he gasped a little because he was too anxious, and after taking a few deep breaths, Shopkeeper Zhang said: "Owner, I received a century-old ginseng, and the medicinal properties are particularly good. The person who sold it was still in Deqing Hall, and I didn't dare to make a decision to come to the owner. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he was panting, panting.
The Second Emperor Palace Pengyun saw that Shopkeeper Zhang was in such a hurry, so he patiently waited for Shopkeeper Zhang to take a deep breath and speak, and poured a glass of water for Shopkeeper Zhang when he spoke. Then he said lightly: "Say it slowly, don't worry, see that you are still out of breath now, come and drink a glass of water first." ”
Shopkeeper Zhang took the water poured by Pengyun from the Second Emperor's Palace, and then said, "Thank you, the owner." Then he drank it all, and the shopkeeper Zhang was very moved. The second prince has always been known for his gentleness, and he is very benevolent in everything he treats people. Therefore, there are many people who are willing to follow the Second Emperor Palace Pengyun, which is a big reason.
After the second prince saw that the shopkeeper drank the water, he called the servant after a short while, then prepared the carriage, and then immediately set off for Deqing Hall.
The reason why Peng Yun of the Second Emperor's Palace was so anxious to come to find medicine in person was because the mother of the second prince had been weak and sickly since she gave birth to the second prince. In addition, the mother concubine of the second prince has always been unfavored, and there are many people in the palace who step on the high and praise the low. Moreover, the mother concubine of the second prince has been depressed, which is even more unfavorable to the recovery of the disease. This time, the second prince personally came to find medicine for his mother, hoping to make her mother recover as soon as possible.
When the second prince heard that he had received a century-old ginseng, he was very happy. So he immediately set off to Deqing Hall, hoping that this ginseng could help the concubine recover as soon as possible.
After about two teas, the carriage arrived at the entrance of Deqing Hall. (The time of a cup of tea is about 15 minutes, because the time of a cup of tea is different in different places, so I will fix the time of a cup of tea here as 15 minutes.) )
As soon as Pengyun got out of the carriage from the Second Emperor's Palace, he came directly to the side hall where Ye Shiling's mother and daughter were staying. (People in this time and space, in fact, men and women are not particularly harsh, and there are no rules on whether women or men wear veils when they go out, depending on what they were originally willing to bring.) As long as it is not a lonely man and a widow staying in one place, Pengyun of the Second Emperor Palace will definitely not see He Mengru alone, and there will be no problem if there are other people next to him. )
He Mengru, mother and daughter, when Shopkeeper Zhang left, quietly discussed the value of century-old ginseng on the side.
Ye Shiling asked He Mengru in a low voice: "Mother, how much is this century-old ginseng worth on the market now?" I don't know yet! ”
Just as He Mengru was about to answer, Xiao Er knocked on the door and said that he wanted to come in. He Mengru asked Ye Shiling to do a good job and then said, "Please come in." ”
After Xiao Er came in, he put down the dim sum and said, "Please use it slowly." Then he stepped back and closed the door anew.
He Mengru saw the osmanthus cake on the table, and then said to Ye Shiling on the side: "Ling'er, this Deqingtang is still making a lot of money, and the pastries in this Baifulou are not something that everyone can eat." ”
Ye Shiling picked up a piece and ate it, the osmanthus cake in this Baifu store is really good, but it is still a little worse than the osmanthus cake made by Ye Shiling. After Ye Shiling ate it, she asked, "Mother, why do you say that the pastries in Baifulou are not for everyone?" This pastry is indeed delicious, but is it as exaggerated as you say? ”
He Mengru nodded Ye Shiling's forehead and said: "This Baifu Building is the most famous and largest restaurant in Nan'an Town, and the dim sum of this restaurant is a must." However, the dim sum of this Baifulou is limited every day, and many people book it every day, so they may not be able to buy it. Moreover, the dishes and dim sum in Baifulou are very expensive, and they are not affordable for ordinary people. ”
Ye Shiling smiled when she heard it, picked up another piece and ate it, and then said, "We still stained the light of this Deqing Hall this time!" Mother, you can also eat a little, this pastry is really delicious. ”
He Mengru picked up a piece of pastry and ate it, and after eating the pastry, He Mengru whispered to Ye Shiling's ear: "Ling'er, the medicinal properties of this century-old ginseng are particularly good, and the year is also rare. And the ginseng market has always been very tight, and I guess we can sell this ginseng for at least 800,000 silver this time. ”
Ye Shiling knew that this century-old ginseng was particularly valuable, but she didn't know that it was so valuable. After hearing He Mengru's words, he lowered his voice and said, "Wow, mother, we have made a fortune, and we really made a fortune this time." ”
He Mengru smiled when she saw Ye Shiling's performance, then looked around and said softly to Ye Shiling: "Although this ginseng is very valuable, I think you should not take it out and sell it again in the future, so as not to get into trouble in the future!" ”
