Chapter 93 [Picking up a Lot]
"Young Master Li asked me to do you a favor. Please help him rent warehouses in various places to store these medicinal herbs. The herbs transferred from the various pharmacies of the He family can be transported directly to the warehouses."
Jiang Lili took out the warehouse rental deposit and contract she had prepared and placed them in front of He Jing. "If you're willing, you can review this contract and sign it."
He Jing knew that many officials who were exiled had arrangements and protection.
The protective umbrella of the Zhaoping Marquis Mansion is the Li family. You can tell by looking at those yamen runners who often lend a hand to the Zhaoping Marquis Mansion.
Therefore, he was not surprised that Jiang Lili was in contact with Young Master Li. "Of course I'm willing. If I can help the He family, I'm willing to do it!"
He Jingzai carefully checked the contract. It was very formal and there were no problems. The deposit was also sufficient.
Jiang Lili suddenly had an idea: "Oh right, doesn't the pharmacy across the street sell herbs at super low prices? You can also buy these herbs from them. You have to hurry."
He Jing looked at the herbs Jiang Lili had circled. "Sophora root? It's cheap and common, why do you need so many?"
Jiang Lili nodded profoundly, "If you want to get out of this storm unscathed, just listen to me. Ask less and do more."
What they are fighting for is the information gap!
The news of the shortage of Sophora flavescens in the capital has not yet spread to Lingnan, but it will not be long before drug dealers from the Central Plains will come to Lingnan to ask for goods. We must seize this opportunity and make a profit.
"Don't worry, I have no reason to harm you. It's easy for your He family to deal with me, a fugitive."
Jiang Lili's face was sincere, her eyes were blazing with hope for her son's success: "I'd like to take this opportunity to make friends with the head of the He family. Haizhou is a desolate place, so I'll need your help from now on."
He Jing agreed repeatedly, "Of course, of course!"
Then he asked the servant to bring the horses, "Miss Jiang, I will do as you say now. I will go to the counties of Nantong immediately to give instructions."
He Jing also knew his own strengths and weaknesses. If Jiang Lili tried to play tricks on him, he would probably have lost most of his wealth.
But now, following Jiang Lili, the benefits are real and visible.
During this month, not only did his skin improve, but his body also became visibly stronger. The reactions of the people around him were real. Jiang Lili was like a rebirth to him.
He Jing, dressed in green, jumped on the horse at this time. His back revealed a bit of elegance. Jiang Lili felt a sense of accomplishment as if she had transformed herself from an ugly duckling.
Next, Li Sicong and He Jing agreed to purchase the unsold medicinal materials from the He family at the purchase price.
Jiang Lili passed by these medicinal material collection points one after another on her way to exile, and she would "deliver" the goods to Qi Yun while resting at the post station at night.
As for how the squad leader can properly carry out this batch of medicinal materials, the squad leader has another plan.
At dinner, Xin Che gave Jiang Lili another snack. He caught a wild rabbit and roasted it for her.
Jiang Lili has been getting a little tired of the dishes cooked by Chef He Jing these days, and she really misses the roasted game cooked by Xin Che. It is very burnt and fragrant, and compared to the chef's light style, Jiang Lili misses it very much.
However, Jiang Lili felt that it was already great to have a chef cooking for her, and it would be too much trouble to ask Xin Che to get wild game, so Jiang Lili did not express her idea of wanting to eat grilled wild game.
So at this moment, Jiang Lili was very surprised to see Xin Che walking towards her with a rabbit and a pheasant, "How did you know I've been craving barbecue lately?"
Xin Che's face was originally tense because the rabbit in his hand was moving around unruly, but now he was afraid of scaring Jiang Lili when dealing with the rabbit.
At this moment, he looked up and saw the surprise in Jiang Lili's eyes. His tightly knitted brows relaxed, and a smile played on the corner of his mouth. He did not directly answer Jiang Lili's question: "Want to eat? Go and light a fire."
"Okay~~"
Jiang Lili forgot about her problems as soon as she had something to eat.
After the wild rabbit and pheasant were roasted, Xin Che looked intently at Jiang Lili as she took a big bite of meat and ate with such satisfaction. This girl always ate with relish.
Jiang Lili has been eating well, drinking well and exercising these days. Her thin face has become fatter, making her look more cute and innocent. Seeing that she is no longer as thin as before, Xin Che feels much better.
Tonight the two of them are still sleeping in the tent.
Jiang Lili fell asleep quickly and slept soundly.
Xin Che was a light sleeper, and when he heard Jiang Lili talking in her sleep again, he pricked up his ears.
Today he grilled wild game for Jiang Lili because he heard the girl muttering about "roast chicken with scallions" and "spicy rabbit head" in her dream the night before. He wanted to hear what the girl wanted to eat now?
“Taro Bobo milk tea…”
Jiang Lili muttered to herself.
Xin Che frowned. Why didn’t he understand?
He moved closer to Jiang Lili, wanting to listen more carefully, but he only heard the same sentence. He seemed to understand some of the milk tea. He didn't understand the first few words, but he heard the two reduplicated words "bobo" most clearly.
"Bobo..."
Jiang Lili's mumbling became quieter and quieter, and she fell into a deep sleep with a peaceful face.
Xin Che stared at her mumbling lips, and then he realized that he was too close. He could even see the crow feathers cast by Jiang Lili's fan-like eyelashes.
Xin Che stood up, turned off the night light in the tent, and went out to get some fresh air.
As soon as he came out of the tent, he saw Liao Dabao doing horse stance in the middle of the night.
"You...are you practicing martial arts?"
Xin Che couldn't help laughing when he saw Liao Dabao's stubborn little body.
"You don't understand! I'm absorbing the essence of moonlight."
Liao Ji puffed up his cheeks. He still remembered what Xin Che said last time: "Let's talk about it when you grow taller than my knees!"
Xin Che suddenly remembered the little guy's reputation as a prodigy. He squatted down and said, "How about you answer a question for me and I'll teach you a trick?"
Liao Ji's eyes lit up: "Just ask! I promise to tell you everything I know!"
Liao Ji thought Xin Che was going to ask him about agriculture or fortune-telling, but Xin Che blurted out a sentence that almost made Master Liao lose his balance -
Xin Che asked seriously, "What is Bobo?"
Master Liao looked horrified. Why were you asking him such a question? He's still a child!
Wait, could it be that Sister Li said this modern word?
Master Liao looked gossipy but couldn't join in the fun because he was a child: "Bobo, that means kiss!"
Now it was Xin Che's turn to be shocked. After Liao Dabao said this, he seemed to understand. Xin Che coughed a few times, and his jade-like face flushed uncontrollably: "I must have heard it wrong."
Looking at Liao Dabao's meaningful eyes, Xin Che was a little flustered: "Hurry up and do the horse stance. I'll teach you a move and then you can go and rest. Don't let your mother worry!"
"Oh~~" Liao Ji dragged out the syllables, "I know!"
He thought of the "knee" vengeance and said cheerfully, "Brother, your face looks just like today's spicy rabbit head, super red."
Liao Ji was responded with a slap from Xin Che.
"Children, don't ask questions about adults' affairs!"
