Chapter 265 He could see that Miss Xiaoxi was not very satisfied with Yingliu and Yingqi
Zhang Shu left, and Zhang Shun continued the morning's itinerary.
Compared to Zhang Shu, Zhang Shun knew less about these things. He just took them for a stroll and didn't say much along the way.
Fortunately, Zhang Shu was quite attentive and left two servants behind before leaving. The two servants explained the rules of the morning market to them along the way.
There are more people at the morning market than at the evening market. At this time, some merchants have already started to order medicinal seedlings.
Gu Xiaoxi asked Zhang Shu's men to take them to see the medicinal seedlings first.
The planting of medicinal seedlings is related to the interests of many families for the whole year, and the reservations for medicinal seedlings are all made in the few days before the New Year. When you arrive in this area, there will be crowds of people.
Zhang Shu's men found a shop here that had a cooperation with the Zhang family. The owner's surname was Jiang.
Knowing that these people were friends of the Zhang family, he took everyone to the store.
This shop is located outside, and the back door leads directly to the street outside.
There are many courtyards on the street outside. Most of these courtyards are warehouses where many medicinal seedlings are stored. Ordinary customers cannot enter here.
After Manager Jiang brought them in, he explained clearly to Gu Xiaoxi and the others the value of these medicinal seedlings and the possible risks of growing these medicines.
"Thank you, Manager Jiang, for telling us in detail. Then I would like to ask, should we order these medicinal seedlings now and pick them up after the New Year, or how do we do it?" Gu Xiaoxi asked.
"Miss Xiaoxi, you're too kind. Since he's a friend of Master Zhang Shu, he's also a friend of our boss. We have to make this clear.
The medicinal seedlings will not survive if you take them back now. Just pay the deposit now and come back to get the seedlings at the end of February.
But now that the order has been placed, the quantity cannot be changed.
Because we have a limited supply of seedlings on the mountain, they are all sold out during the first few days of the Lunar New Year, so we can't place an order the second time we come." Shopkeeper Jiang felt that he still needed to explain the rules to them, after all, this was their first time here.
"I see. Then we should think about it for a moment and see how much is appropriate to order?" Gu Xiaoxi did not decide on the quantity immediately.
She had an idea of how much they wanted to order, but she still needed to discuss the quantity with Xu Mo and the others. It couldn't be too little, but it couldn't be too much either.
"Then everyone can have some tea here. When you're ready, just tell the waiter at the door." After saying this, Shopkeeper Jiang stood up and went out to take care of other things.
After Manager Jiang left, Gu Xiaoxi looked at Xu Mo and said, "Everyone in the village is a novice. Although those good seedlings can make money, if they are not planted well, they will also lose a lot."
Xu Mo naturally understood this principle. As for how much land to set aside for growing medicinal herbs, his grandfather held a meeting with the villagers after returning home that day.
The quantity has been decided long ago, and they are just waiting for Miss Xiaoxi to find medicinal seedlings for them.
"It's up to you. It's the first year anyway, so as long as we don't lose money, it's fine." He felt that this matter had to be arranged by Sister Xiaoxi.
After hearing what Xu Mo said, Gu Xiaoxi understood.
She took out a pen and paper and wrote and drew on it, and soon decided on the quantity.
The village grows ordinary medicinal herbs, but their farm grows good medicinal herbs. Even if she makes a loss, she can afford it.
What's more, she has the spiritual spring water in her hand. This treasure not only strengthens the body, but also has a certain effect on improving the soil.
After deciding on the quantity, Gu Nanming asked the waiter at the door to call Manager Jiang over.
Shopkeeper Jiang looked at the quantity above and found that there were not many seedlings of the expensive medicine, which was actually a good thing for him.
Because the seedlings in their store have regular users every year, if they give away too many, it would be difficult to explain to other customers.
"Okay, the quantity is not large, you just need to pay a deposit of ten taels." He took the order with a smile.
"It's so little, is it okay?" Gu Xiaoxi was worried that Manager Jiang would have a hard time explaining to the boss.
"It's okay, it's okay. Ten taels of silver is just a ceremony. Even if the young lady doesn't give me the deposit, I will leave the medicinal seedlings for you." Shopkeeper Jiang said happily.
Gu Xiaoxi understood that the other party didn't care about their order at all, but just felt that they were helping the Zhang family, so they were happy even if they didn't get paid.
It seems that the Zhang family’s business in Yaocheng is more than just an inn and a restaurant.
In other words, the power behind the Zhang family is much greater than she imagined.
"Thank you very much, Manager Jiang." Gu Xiaoxi bowed to express his gratitude.
After a brief greeting, they signed the contract, went to the counter to pay ten taels of silver, and then left the store.
After coming out of the shop, Gu Xiaoxi walked around again and bought some medicinal herbs.
Zhang Shun looked at Gu Xiaoxi in confusion: "Aren't these herbs available at that store? Why don't you just buy them there?"
"I can't always take advantage of you, right?" Gu Xiaoxi replied.
Zhang Shun had nothing to say. He had to admit that this woman was quite principled.
The morning market gradually dispersed at noon. After noon, Gu Xiaoxi and the others left the Nancheng Medicine Market.
After coming out, Zhang Shun let everyone move freely and left as he had something else to do.
Gu Xiaoxi and his friends were taken around the city by Zhang Shu's men, and they found a small pub for lunch.
It's also quite interesting to listen to the gossip in the city in the tavern.
Continue shopping in the afternoon, focusing on eating and shopping.
Eating, drinking, shopping, even Gu Feng, who usually doesn't want to spend money, bought a lot of gifts for his younger brothers and sisters.
In the evening they returned to the inn, and Ying San came with Ying Liu and Ying Qi.
They came here in the afternoon and heard that Miss Xiaoxi and the others had not returned yet, so they sat downstairs drinking tea and waiting.
"Miss Xiaoxi!" Ying San went up to her.
Yingliu walked up to Gu Feng and looked at him without blinking. No matter how he looked at him, he felt that this look was very familiar.
"Who are these two?" Gu Xiaoxi noticed that Yingliu looked at Gu Feng with a strange look.
Ying San smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Miss Xiaoxi, we are all family. Let's talk upstairs."
After hearing what Ying San said, Gu Xiaoxi turned around and went upstairs.
Gu Nanming and his friends bought a lot of things and went back to their rooms first.
After going upstairs, Gu Nanming pulled Gu Feng back to the room.
Ying Liu couldn't help but look at Gu Feng again, and then followed Ying San into Gu Xiaoxi's room.
Ying San waited until they entered and closed the door before he went forward to introduce his two companions to Xiaoxi.
"Miss Xiaoxi, this is Shadow Six, and this is Shadow Seven."
Ying Liu and Ying Qi bowed to Miss Xiaoxi and said, "Ying Liu (Ying Qi) greets Miss Xiaoxi."
Gu Xiaoxi glanced at the two of them, then looked directly at Ying Liu and asked, "Why do you keep staring at my son?"
"To be honest, young lady, your son looks very much like a child of an old friend of mine. I haven't seen him for many years, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. I hope you can forgive me for any offense I've caused!" Ying Liu gave an explanation.
However, Gu Xiaoxi obviously didn't believe it.
But these people are Ye Lixuan's confidants, so she is not worried that they will attack Afeng.
Ying San glared at Ying Liu fiercely. What an idiot! I told him when he came here not to let Miss Xiaoxi find out, but he said it so blatantly.
"I see!" Gu Xiaoxi didn't ask any further questions and decided to ask Ying San when she had time.
After a few people talked for a while in the room, Ying Liu and Ying Qi left. After all, they came out with a mission, and seeing Gu Feng was a surprise.
After seeing the two off, Ying San came to see Xiaoxi again. He could see that Xiaoxi was not very satisfied with Ying Liu and Ying Qi.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't even close the door, she knew Ying San would definitely come back.
Ying San pushed the door open, then closed it and spoke.
"Sit down and talk. You must be tired after a whole day." Gu Xiaoxi poured a cup of tea for Ying San.
Ying San smiled slightly and replied, “Thank you for your concern, Miss Xiaoxi. I will not get involved in matters involving Ying Liu and Ying Qi here.
Don't worry, they are not here for Young Master Afeng, they are targeting a businessman here.
That person might be related to the assassination of our master in the beginning."
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi put down the cup in her hand and asked seriously, "Is it the time when he was hurt the most?"
"Yes!" Ying San nodded and continued, "In fact, the ten of us followed the master that time, but we were separated by assassins along the way. Fortunately, the master met the girl, otherwise..."
After a pause, he continued, "Later, when the master was fine, he asked Ying Liu and Ying Qi to investigate the matter."
After hearing this, Gu Xiaoxi said, "Give me all the information about that person before midnight tonight!"
