Chapter 102: The Generous Investment of the Medicine Store
Wu Xin is the manager of the medicine shop. How could he possibly catch medicine bugs himself?
He was just finding an excuse, but he didn't expect that Baili Yanqing actually knew about medicinal insects. How should he answer?
Just as Wu Xin was thinking, Zhu Yi looked at the servants who were kneeling on the ground behind Wu Xin and said, "It seems that Manager Wu was too busy and can't remember clearly. Do you remember how many medicinal insects Manager Wu caught?"
No one dared to answer, so Zhu Yi continued to ask: "Why, is this question difficult to answer?"
Wu Xin quickly said, "To answer your Majesty, the number of these insects is really hard to count..."
Before he could finish, Su Chenyu said, "Yan Qing, I have never seen anyone catch medicinal insects before. This Manager Wu is so proficient in catching medicinal insects, why not let him show me?"
The tone was somewhat unreasonable.
Baili Yanqing saw the interest in her eyes and looked at Wu Xin: "Manager Wu, didn't you listen to what the master said? Why don't you take us there quickly?"
Wu Xin was a little dumbfounded. How could anyone be interested in catching drug bugs?
But the order had been given, and Wu Xin had no choice but to take a group of people to the Yuetiao planting site.
He wanted to introduce the medicine shop along the way, simply to make Su Chenyu interested in other things and stop watching the catching of medicinal insects.
Su Chenyu tugged at Baili Yanqing's sleeve impatiently: "Yanqing, why is this guy so talkative? If he says he's tired, he won't have the energy to catch the insects later, right? That won't do!"
This is an addiction. Looking at Su Chenyu's rare cute look, Baili Yanqing couldn't help but bend his index finger and gently scratch her nose: "As long as you want to see, I won't let Manager Wu stop."
Zhu Yi was listening nearby, trying very hard to hold back his laughter. When the master gets angry, it's really deadly. Wu Xin will be in trouble later.
Wu Xin was so angry that he vomited blood, but he had no choice but to take Su Chenyu and others to the moon potato planting area.
The entire medicine shop has a hundred acres of land for growing medicinal herbs. Moonflowers are precious, so more are planted.
At this moment, what appeared before everyone was a vast expanse of pure moonlight, covering the sky and spreading far away.
In the sweet potato field, there were many tenant farmers standing, bending over to catch medicinal insects for the sweet potatoes.
"Master, Prince Consort, this is Yue Tiao's medicinal field." Wu Xin wanted to delay time, but Su Chenyu asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Why don't you go catch the medicinal insects?"
The unspoken words were stuck in Wu Xin's throat. He could only use small tweezers specially used to catch medicinal insects to pick the medicinal insects on the moon potatoes one by one.
Medicine bugs are very small and can only be noticed when looking closely, but the height of the moon bugs is usually only as high as an adult man's waist, so they can only bend over, which is very uncomfortable.
About a cup of tea later, Wu Xin was feeling uncomfortable when he heard Su Chenyu's voice: "Yan Qing, look, isn't this the moonflower that Manager Wu just removed the insects from? Why do I see insects still on this moonflower?"
Baili Yanqing nodded: "Indeed, there are more."
"No wonder the Second Madam said that the medicine shop has been losing money every year. Even Manager Wu himself can't clean the medicine bugs on the moonflowers, so other people certainly can't clean them out. In this way, the moonflowers will definitely be harmed by medicine bugs, and the yield will definitely be low. In this way, how can there not be losses?"
Su Chenyu's words sounded extremely terrifying to Wu Xin. It was hard to imagine that such cold words would come out of Su Chenyu's mouth.
Wu Xinyi straightened up, feeling dizzy, and staggered a few steps. Su Chenyu quickly said, "Manager Wu, please don't fall down in the medicinal field. If you crush Yue Tiao, can you afford the compensation?"
Facing such a "cold-blooded and heartless" master, Wu Xin felt his heart ache.
After Wu Xin stood firm, Su Chenyu spoke again: "Manager Wu, there is nothing interesting about catching medicine bugs. The master and the prince consort came to this medicine shop to take over the affairs here. Hurry and bring the account book over."
