Chapter 848 Smooth
Mrs. Huang liked Manbao's smile very much. The white peony was of excellent quality and not expensive. She had already bought the 1,250 taels of Yaohuang, so she naturally didn't mind buying two more pots of white peonies. So she smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll buy two pots."
Mrs. Wei won over Mrs. Ji Er and got the Wei Zi flower. She was very happy and said she would buy two pots as well.
Although Mrs. Ming did not buy the flowers, she was not very sad. After all, Mrs. Huang was the wife of her husband's immediate superior. Even if she really won, she would still be upset afterwards. Although she lost the flowers, she had one less thing to worry about.
Therefore, he also had the leisure to look at the white peonies. He found that they were indeed of excellent quality, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll take two pots as well. Madam Ji, do you want to buy any?"
Mrs. Ji's face looked unhappy. She forced a smile and said, "Then I'll buy two pots too."
In this way, there are still two pots left.
Madam Ming smiled and said, "Then I might as well buy all the rest. Madam Zhang and Madam Qi also like peonies, so I'll give them each a pot when the time comes."
So all the flowers that Manbao brought were sold.
Mrs. Wei knew about Manbao and Baishan. After all, her son was beaten for going home for this the night before. So she asked with a smile, "Should the money be sent directly to your house?"
Manbao said, "Send it to our home."
Mrs. Huang was now certain that these three people were not here to curry favor with her, so she relaxed and said with a smile, "I will hold a flower viewing banquet later, and I will invite you three to come and have a look."
Manbao expressed his gratitude, but he didn't really want to go.
The Princess of Yizhou will definitely go to the flower-viewing banquet hosted by the wife of the governor. She is still so young and doesn't want to run into it at this time.
After everyone finished talking, they went back home. Before the afternoon, people from the Huang and Wei families came to give them money.
The money was carried in a box. When Zhou Silang opened it and saw the silver ingots, his legs went weak.
He looked up at Manbao, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Manbao, where do you put so much money?"
Manbao said, "Put it under the bed. I'll use it when I buy herbs later."
Zhou Silang: "How much medicinal herbs are you going to buy? Can you use them all?"
"so?"
Zhou Silang said, "Let's transport some of it back home. I always feel that it's not safe to keep so much money here. It's better to keep it at home. No one can steal it."
Bai Shan said, "Brother Zhou Si, I'm worried you'll be robbed on the road."
Zhou Silang, who had been robbed once, fell silent and dared not talk about it again.
Because he is afraid too.
In the end, the whole box of money was placed under Manbao's bed, because Zhou Silang felt that it was indeed one of the safest places.
All the flowers were sold, and Manbao's anger had finally subsided. He then went to the drugstore all day long to pester the shopkeeper, Old Zheng, to find the herbal farmers.
Shopkeeper Old Zheng almost didn't dare go to the pharmacy again, but even if he did, he would take a detour when he saw Manbao. He couldn't help but say to Doctor Ji, "Why didn't I know this girl was so stubborn before?"
Doctor Ji said calmly, "Only those who are stubborn can learn medicine well. Didn't you praise her before for her ability to endure hardships and her stubborn nature?"
Shopkeeper Old Zheng turned and left, but just as he left the backyard, he ran into Manbao who was coming from the front looking for him. Shopkeeper Old Zheng: ...
Manbao greeted Shopkeeper Lao Zheng with a smile and asked, "Shopkeeper Lao Zheng, is there still no news from the herbal farmers?"
Shopkeeper Old Zheng shook his head sadly, "No."
Manbao looked disappointed.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Gu ran over from the front and shouted, "Manbao, the herbalist is here!"
After shouting, he found the shopkeeper there and immediately added, "Shopkeeper, someone is coming to Mr. Xiao's house. Please go out and take a look."
Manbao turned around and ran to the front, he was so excited that even the shopkeeper Zheng was a little happy.
The two of them and Xiao Gu ran to the front yard, which scared the youngest son of the Xiao family. He couldn't help but take three steps back with the basket on his back.
Manbao recognized him. He had seen him last year when their family came to deliver medicinal herbs, but they didn't talk much.
Manbao ran forward and asked, "Are you here to deliver some raw medicinal herbs?"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Manbao, don't scare me. Let me ask." Shopkeeper Old Zheng rushed over from behind and pulled Manbao back a little. After catching his breath, he asked Xiao Xiaosan, "Did your father ask you to come?"
Xiao Xiaosan nodded, glanced at Manbao, and said, "My father said he received a message from the pharmacy. The young doctor in the shop wants to buy raw herbs, so he is willing to charge one kilogram of processed herbs for every three raw herbs. So he asked me to bring some over. I don't know if it's true."
"It's true!" Manbao answered quickly, without giving the shopkeeper Lao Zheng a chance to speak.
Shopkeeper Old Zheng glanced at her and waved his hand, saying, "Go away, little kid, don't join in the fun."
After driving Manbao away, he said to Xiao Xiaosan, "We don't need to look at all the raw herbs. I remember I asked someone to pass you a list."
"Yes, the medicines we delivered are all on the list." Xiao Xiaosan put down the basket and took out something wrapped in leaves from it. "This is Cuscuta, this is Pollen Typhae, and this is Eucommia..."
Keke kept ringing in Manbao's mind, "It has never been included, it has never been included, and it has never been included..."
Although it was still electronic music, Manbao could hear the joy in it.
Seeing what Xiao Xiaosan kept bringing out, Manbao was also very happy. He squatted down happily to look at it. He didn't even have time to look at the face of the shopkeeper, Old Zheng. He kept waving his hands and saying, "Buy, buy, buy..."
She is rich, she has earned a lot of money.
Her eyes seemed to be filled with stars, and if you didn't know her, you would think she was the one selling things.
Shopkeeper Zheng was so exhausted that he couldn't bear to watch. For the first time, he felt that Manbao was quite stupid.
Xiao Xiaosan couldn't help but laugh. After taking out the things one by one, he said, "When my father received the letter, he guessed that Doctor Xiao Zhou wanted to buy these new herbs, so he asked me to bring a little extra of each so that Doctor Xiao Zhou could recognize them more often."
Manbao opened the leaf to see what was inside. After scanning it, Keke said, "They are all active and can be cultivated and studied."
Manbao was extremely happy and said to Xiao Xiaosan, "I have never seen many of these herbs in their fresh form, so I wanted to identify them. If you find any rare herbs in the future, please don't prepare them. Bring them to me and I will pay you the price per pound of prepared herbs."
Xiao Xiaosan agreed.
It was because Manbao's conditions were so tempting that they picked a few things and went into the city overnight. Otherwise, it would take one or two days to go into the city. Who would be willing to come from time to time?
Shopkeeper Old Zheng sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, alright, since you've all agreed, I won't say anything."
Manbao exchanged a delighted glance with Xiao Xiaosan, then turned around and took out a piece of paper from his backpack. On it were densely written a number of medicinal herbs. "This is the list of medicinal herbs I've compiled over the past few days. They're all raw herbs I've never seen before. See if you have any of them. I'll let you know if I find any."
Good night
