She waited until the medicine cooled down before switching to the clean water on the other side to rinse, changing into clean clothes and leaving the room.
In order to make things convenient for her, a room was specially set aside for her in Ren Dongnan's yard, and the twelve people were driven into a grocery store and made to sleep on the floor.
But they couldn't care less about that.
I am tired like a dog every day. I start working as soon as I open my eyes, and the day is over as soon as I close my eyes. I have no time to think about anything else.
In the yard, Huang Laozheng and Ren Dongnan stood together and talked: "These medicinal herbs cost ten taels of silver. Give me the money!"
Ren Dongnan pointed behind him and said, "Ask her."
Old Huang snorted and turned his head to look, his expression suddenly froze.
In order to test Mr. Huang, Ji Changying pushed all her bangs aside, revealing her entire face.
Seeing Mr. Huang's reaction, she knew what was going on. She walked forward with a smug look on her face and said, "Have you never seen a girl as pretty as me at your age?"
"You... look a bit like your mother." Old Huang uttered the words with difficulty.
Ji Changying had a look on her face that said, "What the hell are you talking about?" "I'm my mother's daughter, it would be weird if I didn't look like her, okay? What are you talking about!"
Huang Lao's expression was complicated: "The way you were showing off just now was 90% similar to my Junior Sister! And now you look 50% similar too..."
Faced with such a face, he couldn't even bring himself to ask for the money back and was silent for a moment.
Ji Changying grinned: "That's quite fate! Old man, I couldn't speak after you gave me a needle before. This trick is good, right? Can you teach me?"
She acted cute and blinked her big eyes at him pitifully after she finished speaking.
Huang Lao wanted to curse but couldn't utter the words. He said with difficulty: "Wait, I'll get you a diagram of the human body."
After saying that, he hurried back to his residence, dug out a diagram of the human body from a pile of messy things, and hurried back to find Ji Changying.
He didn't notice at all that he had knocked over a bottle of potion, and the liquid inside slowly flowed out, soaking into a piece of gold that was casually placed next to it.
Almost at the moment the potion was applied, the surface of the gold underwent obvious changes...
Old Huang turned back and faced the pair of eyes that looked exactly like his junior sister's. He carefully explained each of the acupuncture points to Ji Changying and gave her the diagram to memorize.
Ren Dongnan sighed in his heart as he listened to this.
This old man not only didn't get the money, but he almost lost all his money.
Fortunately, he is his apprentice, otherwise I would be afraid that even the money for the coffin would be swindled away.
···
In a blink of an eye, the grain store in the city is about to open.
On the first night of the business, Ji Changying tiptoed through the night quickly. When she ran to the shop indicated on the title deed, she found a candle lit inside.
Liu Shicong was walking around alone, looking very anxious.
"The store is opening tomorrow, but the goods haven't arrived yet. If nothing unexpected happened, it must be an accident."
"So should we open the store tomorrow? Or should we postpone it if we really can't?"
The grain store does not need any luxurious renovation. It will be enough to clean it up and change the layout of the store.
The guys have been found and everything is ready, just waiting for the goods.
As a result, so many days have passed and the delivery person has not shown up yet.
He contacted his previous supplier, but his supply was also very tight and he couldn't deliver the goods for the time being.
What will we use to open tomorrow?
As soon as he thought of this, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and lost consciousness.
Ji Changying knocked him unconscious, put him on a chair, opened the door and went to the warehouse behind.
This shop is only the size of a house, but it has a small, airtight warehouse of 20 square meters at the back. That is why Liu Shicong was willing to spend two hundred taels to buy it.
The inside was clean and tidy, but it didn't look like a warehouse at all.
She waved her hand, and most of the food in the space was stuffed in. The food was piled up almost to the roof.
Rice and soybeans are the largest in number, and wheat seeds are slightly less. She will add some other things later. So far, she only plans to do these three things.
After putting the things away, she left a note for Liu Shicong, on which was written the price of each kind of grain, and all he had to do was follow the instructions.
····
The next day, when Liu Shicong opened his eyes, he was confused for a moment, not understanding when he fell asleep.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and sat up with a start.
Glancing around, he was confused again.
The store is so empty that even mice would cry if they came.
Why did he feel like he was knocked unconscious last night?
His eyes were suddenly attracted by a note under his arm. When he opened it, a look of shock appeared on his face.
He quickly ran to the warehouse at the back and took a look. The originally empty room was now full of food.
"This! This!..." Liu Shicong pointed at the warehouse and stammered.
He really couldn't figure out how the other party did it no matter how hard he tried.
"Boss! Boss!" Someone was knocking on the door at the store entrance when it was time to go to work.
Liu Shicong quickly rubbed his face, adjusted his expression, opened the door with a relaxed look and let the guys in.
Looking at the empty shop, several shop assistants looked at each other and asked cautiously: "Boss, our goods...?"
They were really afraid that the job they had just found would be ruined.
Liu Shicong waved his hand cheerfully, "The goods just arrived last night, so stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and put them on the shelves. We'll open on time at 3:45 am!"
The shop assistants all showed a relieved expression on their faces and shouted loudly: "I wish the shopkeeper a prosperous business!"
Liu Shicong laughed: "Okay!"
···
After delivering the goods to Liu Shicong on time, Ji Changying put the matter of opening a store behind his mind.
This food cost her nothing.
She also didn't want to make money without any bottom line with these grains. As long as she maintained the market price for two years, she could lower the price of all the grains.
It was at this time that she received a letter from Zhongli Zhou.
The other party tactfully asked her if she knew the details of 'Li Changmu'.
The Cui family and the people of Tieling Wei turned the three neighboring states of Xizhou, Liangzhou and Jiangzhou upside down but could not find any trace of Li Changmu.
It was as if this person appeared out of thin air and then disappeared just as suddenly.
They even suspected King Ping, believing that this man was impersonated by one of King Ping's men.
After saying that, Zhonglizhou hinted at something and told her that he hoped that Lord Li would provide a large batch of grain seeds. As long as he was willing, he could open a shop in Liangzhou City and be exempted from commercial taxes for one year.
When the time comes, you just need to find someone to deliver the goods. You don’t have to worry about anything else and the money will be settled on time.
Ji Changying held her chin with her hand and read the letter for a long time, her mind racing.
This letter was a test from Zhongli Zhou, otherwise there would be no need to emphasize the last sentence.
So should we give you this food now?
