Chapter 289 You are really a prophet
After coming out of the bookstore, Jiang Yuzhu took her maid to the teahouse for a short rest and met Yan Lin.
Yan Lin was the only one in the private room, pacing back and forth in annoyance.
After Jiang Yuzhu entered the room, she chose a comfortable couch to sit on, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "What's wrong? Is it not going well?"
At present, the Xie family members do not know that Jiang Yuzhu is pregnant. It would be impolite to meet the Xie family members empty-handed for the first time.
In the past, Jiang Yuzhu would have done her own thing and would not bother to deal with the Xie family. However, her mother-in-law Shen and her fifth brother Xie Xuan had brought a lot of things from the family. If she was rude, she would lose face.
There is give and take, and it is hard to repay the debt of favor.
The silk, porcelain, cloth and jewelry in the south of the Yangtze River are better than those in the north. After much thought, the only thing that can be offered is medicinal materials.
Yan Lin stood still, his brows furrowed enough to kill a fly, and said awkwardly, "Madam Xie, you are truly a prophet!"
Jishidiang had a large medicinal material merchant in the city who had been supplying the goods for a long time. Yan Lin sent his servant Xiaowu to deliver a letter and asked the merchant to meet in a teahouse to discuss the matter in detail, but was rejected.
Xiao Wu peeked out from the door of the private room and complained, "Madam Xie, that merchant is so arrogant and speaks so arrogantly. If you want to discuss business, my son must come to visit in person."
"That merchant has been cooperating with Jishidiang for more than 20 years. He has transformed from a herbalist to the largest herbal medicine merchant in the city. Now he has good herbs in his hands and he is acting pretentiously. He has forgotten his roots!"
Xiao Wuzi didn't expect to be rejected. He felt so angry that he couldn't help but express it.
Yan Lin seemed to be affected by these words and looked unhappy.
As an observer, Jiang Yuzhu could understand the herbal medicine dealer's idea and pointed out the key point: "Our medicine shop has only been open for a few days, and there are already signs of stealing Jishitang's business. When you meet with the herbal medicine dealer, are you representing yourself or Jishitang?"
"If he is representing Jishidiang, the shopkeeper will naturally come to contact him. If he is representing Yan Lin himself, a poacher, if the herbal medicine dealer comes forward, wouldn't he offend Jishidiang?"
The medicinal material dealer wanted to play the good guy and not offend both sides, so he made the request.
If Yan Lin came to the door on his own initiative, the medicinal materials merchant would not dare to chase him away because of his status as the young master of Jishidiang.
If the medicinal materials merchant really comes to poach our employees, it will be necessary for him to give Jishidiang an explanation later.
Jiang Yuzhu pointed out the relationship between them, and Yan Lin said awkwardly: "Although we have opened a medicine shop, I always subconsciously think of myself as a member of Jishitang."
"Mrs. Xie, do we still need to come to your house?"
The most authentic tonics from the north can only be bought in the north, such as old mountain ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, nourishing velvet antlers, deer horns, deer blood and deer bones, which are all good medicinal materials that are not available in the south.
"Come to your door."
This time, in addition to purchasing medicinal materials, we also have to solve the supply problem of the medicine shop.
The medicine shop still has stock of pills, but they won’t last long.
"Have you noticed that buying medicinal herbs is more difficult than before? There are always herbal medicine dealers driving up prices."
After the snowstorm in the border town, the road leading to the village became difficult to travel.
Upon learning that she was pregnant, Jiang Yuzhu gave up the idea of looking for a channel.
When villagers collect herbs, most of them sell them to the village chief first, and then they are purchased by the herbal medicine dealers with whom they have cooperated for many years.
This is a line of interest that cannot be easily shaken even with power. The reason is that the water is too deep.
Yan Lin touched his chin, and after realizing what was happening, he asked, "Is it related to Jishidiang?"
Currently, the medicine shop has just opened and is not yet qualified to compete with Jishidiang.
Are the people from Jishidiang so stingy?
"Jishitang is the ancestral property of the Yan family. Do you think that without a bit of vision, you could have cultivated a prodigal son like you?"
Once Jishidiang senses the signs, it will try every means to suppress the medicine shops.
Jiang Yuzhu was relatively calm and said confidently: "Maybe in a few days, something bad will happen."
"Mrs. Xie, what trouble could there be?"
Yan Lin knew that Jishidiang had the means, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
All in all, the medicine shop has only been open for a few days!
"Instead of strangling it in the cradle, you are given the opportunity to grow and grab the business?"
Jiang Yuzhu had already expected this, so she decided to just fight back.
Yan Lin was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up and said, "Mrs. Xie, you are worthy of being married to Mr. Xie. Your expressions when calculating others are the same."
When mentioning Xie Zhao, Yan Lin shuddered. He now always locked the door before going to the toilet, and he had a trauma in his heart.
Jiang Yuzhu was surprised and said with a smile: "Really?"
Similar to Xie Zhao? Then take it as Yan Lin praising her.
The two of them sat down and had not yet finished their cup of tea when they heard the noise from the street below, with a large number of people gathered together and whispering.
Hongli went out to inquire and reported breathlessly: "Madam is as good as a god. Something happened in the medicine shop!"
Yan Lin gave a smile that was uglier than crying, and it would be more appropriate to describe it as a crow's mouth.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Yuzhu came to the window and looked at the crowd of people gathered at the door of the medicine shop opposite, her brows slightly moved.
Hongli looked anxious, pointing at the person in the middle who was lifting the door panel, and said, "I'm anxious to find out. I heard that someone died after taking the medicine, and the family brought the body to the medicine shop, asking for an explanation!"
"If you really ate dead people, why don't you want to report it to the police?"
Jiang Yuzhu knew without thinking that there was something fishy going on, most likely a villain was behind this.
She was about to go downstairs when Hong Jin stopped her: "Madam, there are too many people downstairs and it's inevitable that there will be collisions. The view upstairs is better."
"Let's go and have a look. If he really died from taking the medicine, we have to find out the cause of death."
Since the family refused to report to the police, Jiang Yuzhu decided to take the initiative.
She sent Hongxiu to the yamen to report the matter to the prefect, and then went to the medicine shop with Yan Lin.
At this time, there were already three layers of people surrounding the door, blocking the entrance completely.
"Oh, my old man has a miserable life. He used to see doctors at Jishiditang. I heard that he opened a medicine shop. He wanted to save some money, but he didn't know that he would never live to spend it again!"
An old lady was lying on the ground, crying and talking, looking very miserable.
There were more than a dozen people following along, including men, women, young and old. The children were dressed in mourning, holding up spirit banners, and kneeling in front of the shop crying bitterly.
Because he was so conspicuous, he was recognized immediately.
A commoner in the crowd explained: "This family's surname is Ma. They opened a large sesame oil workshop and had a small fortune. Old man Ma was only fifty years old and in good health. How could he suddenly die?"
"The medicine shop is cheap. I was thinking of buying a bottle to keep at home as a backup. Fortunately, I didn't buy it. Otherwise, wouldn't I have sent myself to the west?"
"Tsk tsk, why didn't the Ma family report such a big thing to the police?"
The people gathered together to watch the fun, and there were many different opinions.
Jiang Yuzhu also understood some basic situations through the words of the people.
It’s just that it’s not known whether this old man Ma is really dead or he just came here to commit fraud.
