Chapter 55 Stunning Beauty
This place is only a few steps away from "Ji Fu Tang". It is normal for Shanzi to come out to watch the excitement after hearing the noise, but I didn't expect that Shanzi also knew this third brother.
Su Tong hurriedly lifted the backpack up and took the opportunity to say, "Since you have met an old acquaintance, why not catch up first! I am also in a hurry, so I will leave first!"
Unexpectedly, before the third brother could say anything, Shanzi stepped forward to stop her.
"Miss Su, you, you better not leave yet! He, he...you..."
Su Tong was a little impatient, his expression stiffened and he was about to speak.
Shanzi was seen gesturing anxiously, pointing at her backpack and then at the third brother, as if he didn't know how to start the conversation.
Su Tong frowned, glanced at his third brother, then glanced at the Beijing license plate of the car, and suddenly an idea came to him. He lowered his voice and asked:
"Isn't he the one your master mentioned, 'the one who looks like a human being'?"
When Shanzi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.
Su Tong was also a little dumbfounded. Was this world too small?
Fifteen minutes later, the group sat in the small hall in the backyard of "Ji Fu Tang" with freshly brewed tea in front of them.
Shopkeeper Lin stroked his goatee with a smile and said to Su Tong:
"Tong girl! You are blessed, aren't you? An old man like me rarely sees this guy all year round. I just mentioned him to you today, and you ran into him when you went out."
"Oh! Uncle! Is this true? You mentioned me to Miss Su? It seems that Miss Su and I are destined to be together! I haven't come here for a long time, and I ran into Miss Su this time!"
Song Shaoyang put down the teacup, looking surprised.
Shopkeeper Lin seemed to understand his nephew's nature, rolled his eyes at him and said:
"If you weren't still somewhat useful, why would I mention you? Take a look at what's in Tong's basket first."
Su Tong hurriedly lifted the soft cloth in the basket, revealing the poplar and mulberry fungus.
Song Shaoyang didn't care much at first, but when he looked into the basket, his eyes fixed on it.
After hesitating for a few seconds, his expression gradually became serious. He reached out and picked up a bunch of Coriolus polyanthus to identify it.
"Is this wild Coriolus igniarius?"
"Yes! Wild poplar mulberry! This girl got it in the mountains. It's a good thing! But the quantity is a bit large. I can't use much here. Do you think your factory needs it?"
“Tsk!”
Song Shaoyang looked up at Su Tong and said to Shopkeeper Lin:
"Uncle, what you said just now is not right. It is obviously a blessing for me to be your nephew today! Look, as soon as I arrived in Jiangping, I was able to get help from Miss Su, and then I was able to meet this rare 'Yang Shuhuang'!"
"Alright! Stop being so joking! Just tell me if you want her or not! Tong girl is not an ordinary girl, don't try to fool her!"
"Look at what you said! Miss Su is our benefactor, how can we fool her! I would never fool anyone but my benefactor! Uncle, please don't be anxious!"
"Urgent! Why not? Just tell me if you need it or not?"
“Yes! Yes!”
Song Shaoyang seemed helpless and said:
"The factory is going to produce new drugs, and they are in need of this."
"That's fine!"
Shopkeeper Lin slammed the table and said, "Don't waste time. Just name a price!"
Ten minutes later, the basket was empty and Su Tong had an extra six hundred and fifty yuan in his hand.
The mulberry fungus in the basket weighed a total of 8.5 jin, and Song Shaoyang bought it at the price of 81 cents that Manager Lin originally charged, so he should give her 680 yuan.
But Su Tong knew that the larger the quantity, the higher the price should be. The other party did not lower the price because she had helped. They were buying herbs for the government, and she did not want to cause trouble for them, so she insisted on returning the 80 yuan change.
Shopkeeper Lin had just experienced this and knew that this girl was not the type to take advantage of others, so he took out thirty yuan from the eighty yuan and handed it to Song Shaoyang, and returned the remaining fifty to Su Tong.
Song Shaoyang felt that he shouldn't give less, but he couldn't persuade his uncle, so he had to accept the money reluctantly.
Su Tong secretly sighed, fortunately Manager Lin understood his nephew's personality and got the job done in no time. Otherwise, with Song Shaoyang's personality of always complaining, he would probably keep talking until dark.
Su Tong collected the money, picked up the backpack contentedly and prepared to leave, but Song Shaoyang followed her and said he would take her home. Shopkeeper Lin reached out and grabbed the collar of his coat.
"You haven't even thought of your uncle for 800 years, so why did you come here without making any noise this time?"
Song Shaoyang rakes his hair with his hands, "Hey! I'm helping to send someone to the provincial capital of Ezhou. He's so important that I have to make a trip! So I came to see you as soon as I have time!"
After saying that, he wanted to run out again, but Shopkeeper Lin didn't let go.
"It's a rare visit for you kid, why don't you go see your aunt first? What are you doing?"
"Uncle! I'm not kidding! Miss Su helped me a lot today, so what if I send her home? Isn't it more convenient to drive?"
While Song Shaoyang was caught, Su Tong waved to Manager Lin, turned around and ran away.
Song Shaoyang watched Su Tong run away, and it was not easy for him to chase after him. He turned his head and said with a wronged look on his face:
"Uncle! Why did you stop me everywhere today? I still had a lot of questions to ask, but you let that girl run away!"
"What are you asking? The girl is thin-skinned, how can she stand your smooth talk? You scare her!"
"Superficial! Superficial again! I call this humor, how can it be called glibness!"
Song Shaoyang straightened his collar and said with a bitter face:
"That girl knows how to use silver needles, and her technique is very fast. Before I could see clearly which acupoints she pierced, the old man jumped up! I originally wanted to wait until I was more familiar with him before asking him, but now there's no way to ask him!"
"Oh! You can also give acupuncture?! It's so rare! It's really rare!"
Shopkeeper Lin was stunned for a moment, but after a moment he stroked his beard with satisfaction, turned his head and said to his nephew:
"I'm telling you! This girl is the disciple I've chosen, but she hasn't agreed to my proposal yet! I'm afraid you'll rush over and scare her! If I can't accept her as my disciple because of you, I won't forgive you!"
Song Shaoyang glanced at his uncle and said, "I was wondering why you were so protective of her! But uncle, I'm not trying to discourage you, but that girl doesn't look like she needs a master! Originally, if I stepped in, maybe I could have earned you a few chances! Now she's gone, there's no place to chase her."
"Forget about chasing her. That girl is not your type! But she doesn't look like she's doing well. If there's a chance in the future, help her out if you can."
Shopkeeper Lin lowered his head and drank a sip of tea before continuing slowly:
"I already kept her address, Shanzi has it!"
"oh!"
Song Shaoyang's eyes lit up and he shouted to the door:
"Quanzi, go find Shanzi and bring the address to me."
Quan Zi was still staring blankly at the direction Su Tong had gone. Song Shaoyang called him several times before he came to his senses, "Third brother, you called me?"
“Tsk!”
Song Shaoyang said with disdain, "Can you be more capable, kid? You can't calm down when you see a pretty girl!"
Quanzi scratched his head, somewhat disagreeing, "I, I just think that girl looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen her before... Besides, that girl is just a little delicate, thin and yellow, how can she be pretty?"
"Tsk - you don't understand this! I, your third brother, have seen countless girls. Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. With Miss Su's foundation, if she takes good care of herself..."
"What's wrong with taking good care of yourself?" Quanzi looked stunned.
Song Shaoyang raised his eyebrows at him, "Stunning!"
