Tian An stood up and walked slowly among the pile of wild yam.
Is there any way to quickly consume these wild yam?
It is definitely impossible to sell it. Since they are determined to get you, they must have already made arrangements and cut off your escape route. Even if Mr. Qin runs himself to pieces, no one will buy even a pound of wild yam.
Moreover, the rainy season is coming soon. If so many wild yam are piled together, they will become damp and moldy even if they are placed in the house.
"Tu Fuling, Tu Fuling..." Tian An kept muttering Tu Fuling's name as he walked.
"Tufuling, Ling..." Tian An suddenly stopped and slapped himself on the head.
"Really? How could I have forgotten about it?"
Smilax glabra is the main raw material for making tortoise jelly! It is impossible to consume so much Smilax glabra for medicinal purposes in a short period of time, but it is a different story if it is used for food.
There is nothing that cannot be solved by eating. If you can’t use it, just eat it.
When Yaoyao and Zhao Shuhua saw Tian An like this, they knew that she must have thought of a solution, and they ran over.
But when he saw the forehead that was a little red from being patted by her, he said distressedly: "Sister An An is really something. She is already an adult, but she doesn't know how to be gentle. She has even turned red."
"Little girl, you are actually scolding your master. You have no respect for your elders." Tian An scratched her nose and said lovingly.
Then she quickly walked to the side of Master Qin who was looking at her expectantly.
"Quick, uncle, prepare the writing brush and ink. I'll write a recipe, and you ask someone to prepare the ingredients. Let's start making the tortoise jelly now."
Master Qin asked the servants to prepare things first, then turned around and asked, "What is Guilinggao? Is it a plaster?"
Tian An shook his head. "It's not a plaster, it's a small dessert that's perfect for summer."
“If it’s made into medicine, it’d be good if one out of ten people would buy it. But if it’s made into food, at least all ten people can eat it, which can greatly increase the purchase rate.
The basic ingredients of tortoise jelly are tortoise shell and poria cocos, which can nourish yin, strengthen the spleen, and promote diuresis. Adding honeysuckle, dandelion, licorice, selfheal and other medicines can play the role of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, promoting diuresis, and draining dampness.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, it is the best time to eat tortoise jelly.
Isn't the Dragon Boat Festival coming soon? I heard there's a dragon boat race on the moat this year. There's bound to be a lot of people watching. If we set up a few more stalls by the moat, we're guaranteed to make a profit."
"Can wild yam be made into dessert?" This is the question asked by Mr. Qin, Yaoyao and the other two.
But the answer is obviously yes. "Isn't braised meat also braised with medicinal herbs?"
Mr. Qin believed Tian An's words without a doubt, but he still couldn't help but worry, "But there are so many wild yam in this batch, can we use them all?"
Tian An nodded confidently, “Don’t worry, Uncle Qin, the dosage of medicine must be taken seriously, but food can be taken every day.
We just need to build up our reputation during the Dragon Boat Festival, and then we can put it in various snack shops, and it will definitely be a hit.”
Soon, the servant brought up the pen and ink, and Tian An quickly wrote the prescription.
Everything on the recipe is available in the Qin Mansion, so there's no need to buy them.
Tian An asked his servants to set up a big pot and calculate the proportions of all the ingredients.
Just fill the big pot with water and put in the appropriate amount of medicinal materials. Next, just have someone keep an eye on the heat and stir the herbs from time to time. The rest will be left to time.
It takes at least an hour and a half to cook the tortoise jelly. During this time, Tian An has more important things to do.
"Qin Bofu, let me accompany you to report the case to the authorities! We can't just suffer this loss in silence."
When Yaoyao heard about reporting the case, she agreed with both hands, "That's right, we can't let them go. Business should be done in an honest and upright manner! How can they use tricks behind the scenes?"
"But can the government take care of this?" They used to do business with all kinds of intrigues and suffered losses on their own, and never thought of reporting the case to the government.
"Yes, yes, the government can definitely do it."
Seeing Master Qin hesitate, Yaoyao immediately patted her chest and promised. She also made up her mind that if they didn't care, she would write a letter to the palace to tell her father and ask him to take off their official hats.
Humph! Such a person who doesn't care about the lives of the people, doesn't uphold justice for the people, and doesn't punish evil and promote good, is he going to keep it for the New Year?
Although Zhao Shuhua had been locked up in the mansion all day and had little experience, when she heard Yaoyao and Tian An say they wanted to report to the police, she also thought it was a good idea and tried to persuade Master Qin.
"If we go easy on them this time, they might think we're afraid of them, and they might do something even more outrageous in the future.
It was obvious that this was their usual tactic, and it was also fortunate that the Qin Bo family was wealthy. If it were someone else, they might have been bankrupted and their family destroyed by them long ago.
We should dampen their arrogance and prevent them from becoming overbearing and causing chaos in the medicinal materials market, which will ultimately cause suffering to the people."
All the conscientious drug dealers have been squeezed out, and in the end the market is controlled by a group of bullies. It would be strange if the situation could get better.
Master Qin was persuaded by the three people, so he asked his servants to pull the carriage and followed them to the yamen.
In the government office, the officials listened to their remarks and were reluctant to intervene. "This is just a normal business. It's business! Making money while losing money is common. Reporting it to the authorities is a bit of an overreaction."
Yaoyao was so furious at what she heard that she wanted to take the bastard's hat off right then and there to prevent him from just eating the court's salary and doing nothing.
Tian An only wanted to help Master Qin handle this matter properly today and did not want to cause trouble. He pulled her behind him and said to the official in charge of receiving them, "Sir, this is not just a matter of profit and loss in business. I suspect that Uncle Qin has encountered a beggar."
"Pao Hanako?"
Everyone said in unison, even Master Qin didn't expect Tian An to say that.
Tian Anzheng said in a loud voice: "That's right, it's Pai Huazi.
My uncle Qin said he was dazed and confused at the time, and basically did whatever the other party said. Looking back, he couldn't remember what he said or did at all.
Isn't this the normal behavior of a slapped flower boy? "
The official frowned and said, "What if he was not feeling well that day and was ill?"
Tian An looked at Master Qin.
Master Qin carefully recalled his physical condition that day, and finally affirmed: "I was not feeling unwell when I left the house that day, and my mind was clear.
As I was talking with that person, I gradually felt my eyelids getting heavy, and then my head started to feel dizzy.
At the time, I was so confused that I just listened to what he said and rushed to place an order with the farmers without thinking about anything else.
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, when I was still conscious, I smelled a very strange fragrance on that person, sweet and greasy.
I was surprised at first that a grown man could actually use such incense, but now that I think about it, I realize that there was something wrong with the scent.
I seem to have felt dizzy since I smelled that fragrance."
