The next morning, Ye Qingtao went out after breakfast.

She keeps all her money in the space, so she doesn't need to carry a wallet when she goes out.

But today I’m going to buy medicinal herbs, so I still have to pretend to bring a big bag with me.

What was in the bag was not money or anything else, but a puppy that didn't want to be lonely.

When Xiao Hei saw that she was about to go out, he immediately volunteered to follow her.

Ye Qingtao originally didn't want to take it out, but the little guy was clinging too tightly.

Xiao Hei's reason was very convincing and Ye Qingtao had no way of refusing it.

It said that it followed him to the medicine street because it wanted to learn more about medicinal herbs. Once it was familiar with the taste of each herb, it would be able to better help collect herbs when it went to the mountains in the future.

With such a high-sounding reason, and the fact that Xiao Hei had already tried his hand at it before, Ye Qingtao had no reason to refuse.

Ye Qingtao put it into a big bag, and just as she left the family compound, she saw Hu Youxiang waiting not far away.

Seeing her coming, Hu Youxiang immediately opened the car door and saluted her respectfully.

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

"Hello, comrade."

"Sister-in-law, my name is Hu Youwang. From now on, you can call me Xiao Hu just like Chief Gu."

Hu Youxiang smiled at her naively, showing his white teeth.

This boy looks very honest, but he is actually very sinister.

Because Lu Yunchuan came to the army temporarily through the back door, and there happened to be an empty space in their dormitory, they arranged him to come in.

Hu Youxiang took the lead in ridiculing and mocking him every day, which made Lu Yunchuan very upset.

He had never been polite in front of Lu Yunchuan, but he was very respectful to Ye Qingtao.

I wonder what Lu Yunchuan thinks when he knows about this psychological gap?

"I'm younger than you, so it's not appropriate to call you Little Hu. How about I call you Big Brother Hu from now on?"

Ye Qingtao asked tentatively, and Hu Youxiang stepped on the brakes, so scared that he couldn't even drive the car.

"Sister-in-law, this is not allowed! This is not allowed!"

Ye Qingtao's call of "Brother Hu" made Hu Youxiang so excited that he almost jumped out of the car.

If Chief Gu heard this, he would be severely punished.

Recently he has been making fun of Lu Yunchuan for not being able to get out of bed when he gets home. Tomorrow it will be his turn to be laughed at by Lu Yunchuan for not being able to get out of bed.

"You are older than me, so there is nothing wrong with me calling you that. Why can't I do that?"

Ye Qingtao teased him deliberately, and Hu Youxiang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Sister-in-law, you are Chief Gu's lover. Even if you are younger than us, you are still our sister-in-law and our beloved elder."

"With your status, you can call me Xiao Hu or just call me by my name. It would be too much for me if you call me Brother Hu."

Hu Youxiang explained seriously, as if he would not drive if Ye Qingtao did not agree with his answer.

Seeing how serious he was, Ye Qingtao almost believed him.

This boy appears to be honest on the surface, but he is actually not honest at all.

After saying so much, can't you just tell the truth?

Isn't it just because you are afraid of Gu Jingming? What's there to be embarrassed about?

"Okay, okay, I can call you by your name from now on, right? Hurry up and drive, don't delay the business."

As soon as Ye Qingtao agreed, Hu Youxiang was immediately delighted.

"Okay."

He stepped on the accelerator and the car started to make a loud noise.

Ye Qingtao looked at the scenery outside the window with a smile on her face, and Xiao Hei also poked his head out of the bag.

It opened its puppy eyes and looked around in surprise, and couldn't help but let out a soft "wow".

Ye Qingtao patted its head gently and thought that this little guy was really cute.

Half an hour later, the car drove to the side of Yao Street and stopped.

"Sister-in-law, you are not allowed to drive into Medicine Street, so I can only take you here. Do you want me to accompany you in, or wait for you here?"

"Just wait here. If I buy more, come over and help carry it."

"Okay, I'll follow my sister-in-law's arrangements."

Hu Youwang's voice is crisp and bright, which makes people feel comfortable.

Ye Qingtao got out of the car with Xiao Hei, and she looked at everything on Yao Street with surprise.

Ancient buildings, rich medicinal fragrance, isn't this the place she has been looking for?

Ye Qingtao was not in a hurry to buy, but looked at each store one by one.

If she finds something she’s interested in, she’ll ask about the price and the condition of the medicinal materials.

Ye Qingtao let Xiao Hei out and pretended to hold the leash.

Every time she came across precious medicinal herbs, she would place them under Xiao Hei's nose to let him smell them, and then tell him the value of the herbs and the amount of dried meat that could be exchanged for them.

Xiao Hei is also a snob and doesn't want to pay any attention to cheap medicinal herbs.

When he heard that the medicinal herbs could be exchanged for a lot of dried meat, his eyes widened immediately.

Ye Qingtao touched the back of its head with a smile and thought the puppy was extremely cute.

Ye Qingtao walked over slowly, she was not in a hurry at all.

For now, we still need to find out the surrounding situation clearly. Once we have a clear understanding of the situation, it will be convenient to buy things next time.

A man and a dog wandered around Yao Street for more than an hour but didn't buy anything.

Ye Qingtao walked to the door of an antique medicine shop and stopped out of curiosity.

The reason why Yaojie is called Yaojie is because there are many medicinal materials here.

There are countless pharmacies here, but this one alone caught her eye.

The wooden facade has carved patterns on the window frames.

The wood exudes a faint sandalwood scent, and needless to say, you know it is top-grade sandalwood.

The store is decorated in an antique style, and most importantly, the fragrance of the medicinal herbs is particularly strong.

The medicinal herbs here are not ordinary ones.

Many medicinal herbs are quite old, so they taste much more fragrant than those younger ones sold outside.

Ye Qingtao's curiosity was aroused and she casually asked about the price.

However, I found that the medicinal materials here are of excellent quality and the prices are particularly reasonable.

As a doctor, Ye Qingtao naturally enjoys such places.

She asked about the prices of several medicinal herbs, and the other party answered her questions patiently.

Ye Qingtao was very satisfied with the other party's attitude. She thought of the ginseng in the space and asked with a smile.

"Excuse me, shopkeeper, besides selling medicinal herbs, do you also accept medicinal herbs?"

"Of course we do, but we only accept high-quality medicinal materials. Our store and our customers don't like low-quality medicinal materials."

"So what do you think of this ginseng?"

Ye Qingtao carefully took out a ginseng bead from the cloth bag.

They went up the mountain to dig four ginsengs last time, and the one she took out now was the youngest and the worst quality one.

The shopkeeper took the ginseng and examined it carefully. After a while, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

"This pearl ginseng must have been picked recently. It smells very fresh and is quite heavy. It's just a little young, but it's great to be able to find ginseng in winter."
