Jiang Songshu took his uncle to look at the Erjin Courtyard in the north of the city. It was already expensive, costing two thousand taels.

The shops in the north of the city are naturally not cheap either. Small shops cost one thousand five hundred taels.

This added up to 3,500 taels of silver. Jiang Songshu's heart trembled when he heard this.

If he had followed the original commission, Jiang Songshu would have been able to get almost ninety taels of silver, just for one order a month, and he would not have to worry about food and drink throughout the year.

But it doesn't work anymore. Not only is the commission less, but there are also more restrictions. Previously, Yaxing would give him the lowest price, but now the room for lowering the price is too small.

Jiang Songshu couldn't make the decision on Uncle Qin's request for a two hundred tael reduction.

Not willing to give up on such a customer, Jiang Youli gritted his teeth and agreed.

Decided to go back and try to convince the shopkeeper.

After taking the uncle to see the shop, it was not yet noon.

The uncle had to do something in the north of the city, so Jiang Songshu sent someone to the door of a restaurant.

I was not in a hurry to go back to Yaxing. I finally made the trip and rented a carriage, so I couldn't come in vain.

Thinking of what Jiang Li said before, Jiang Songshu strolled to various restaurants and restaurants.

Fortunately, there are more merchants in the north of the city. Before noon, all these restaurants are already busy.

I felt my hungry stomach and found a restaurant that didn't look that expensive.

There were so many people in the store that even the waiters were busy. Jiang Songshu found a table and sat down by himself. There was no empty table at this time. When he saw an empty table, he just went over to share a table with others and sat down.

Yesterday, Jiang Li secretly gave him five taels of silver in private, fearing that he would not have enough money outside.

But Jiang Songshu felt warm in his heart.

Little did he expect that the money was given to Jiang Li himself.

Jiang Songshu ordered a meat and vegetable dish, a soup, and two sesame seed pancakes as a staple.

When the three merchants at the same table saw this, they couldn't help laughing and joking: "Young man eats quite a lot!"

Jiang Songshu was a person with a familiar personality. Hearing this, he smiled and pushed the dish in front of him towards the middle, "Brothers, let's eat together! I can't finish it by myself."

People who travel all over the country on business are naturally not very reserved, so they didn't show any politeness to Jiang Songshu, so they started eating together.

"Where did these brothers come from? What kind of business do they do?"

Jiang Songshu simply opened up the topic and started chatting.

"We transported fabrics from Huaizhou and collected medicinal materials from Yunzhou."

After a few brief introductions, they asked about Jiang Songshu.

"What about you? Are you a local? What do you do?"

asked a bearded man at the table.

Jiang Songshu had nothing to hide, "I'm in Yahang now. I mainly help people introduce houses. If any of the brothers need to stay in Yunzhou City for a short period of time or rent a house, just come to me."

None of the people looked down on Jiang Songshu. The Dangya people were in a third-rate business, and their trade was not looked down upon by many.

Several people agreed, and Jiang Songshu reported the address of the dental shop to them.

"It's a coincidence. Our family also hires people to pick medicinal materials." Jiang Songshu had an idea in his head and remembered.

Several merchants looked over sideways and asked, "What medicinal materials did your family pick? Is the quantity large?"

If the quantity is small, it's not worth the extra trip for them.

Jiang Songshu thought about it. Although he was picking and collecting at home, there might not be many for these traders. "There are Pinellia ternata, Gastrodia elata, and Panax notoginseng. We just sold a batch. We don't have a large amount in a short time. Let's see how many Brother, what do you want? We don’t have it now, but I’ll definitely have it next time you come. Our family collects the medicinal materials.”

The few of them thought about it. Anyway, all the cloth they had on hand had been sold. They were not in a hurry to leave for the time being, so they planned to go back with Jiang Songshu to take a look.

After that, they finished eating and settled Jiang Songshu's order together.

When they went out, they spent their money frugally, but treated guests very generously and did not pay Jiang Songshu any more.

Several people drove a carriage on their own and followed Jiang Songshu's carriage.

When he saw Jiang Songshu's carriage, he believed Jiang Songshu's words 70%, and the remaining 30% had to wait until he saw the medicinal materials.

Fortunately, it was only noon now, and a few people drove the carriage very quickly. It took an hour to reach Yujiacun.

When he arrived at the door of his house and stopped the carriage, Jiang Songshu realized that only two people got out of the carriage behind him.

Jiang Songshu asked strangely, "Where is the other brother?"

The two people in front of me laughed and said, "He will follow later."

In this way, Jiang Songshu didn't ask any more questions.

This is Chen Jinsong's caution when walking outside. They will not all follow strangers. If someone sets a trap for them, at least there will be another person who can go out and report the news.

When Jiang Songshu entered the house, Xiao Hei rushed out first, first circling Jiang Songshu, wrapping his hands and feet.

Then he barked at Chen Jinsong and the two strangers.

The little puppy was not as big as Chen Jinsong's feet. The two of them smiled funnyly and said to Jiang Songshu, "The dog you raise is quite good at looking after the house."

"My sister specially brought them from the hunter's house in the village. They are good seedlings for home care and nursing." Jiang Songshu felt proud when he mentioned Gracilaria and his own puppy.

Seeing the brothers Jiang Songshu and Chen Jinsong talking, Xiao Hei seemed to know that they knew each other, so he stopped barking and ran back to his kennel.

Only then did Chen Yunsong catch up.

Jiang Songshu just took a look at it, didn't ask any questions, and took the three brothers to his kitchen to look at the medicinal materials.

Jiang Li and the others were stewing braised pork, and they could smell the aroma as soon as they entered the door.

"Is your family cooking so early?"

The smell of meat suddenly aroused the appetite of several people, Chen Jin relaxed and asked.

Speaking of this, Jiang Songshu nodded and said hello to Jiang Li, and simply said to Chen Jinsong: "It's not our own food. My family is mainly in the braised pork business now."

"Ali, these are the three brothers I met at the restaurant. They are in the medicinal materials business. Bring them over to see if there are any medicinal materials picked by our family that they want."

Jiang Songshu explained to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li nodded clearly and greeted a few people. Jiang Li knew more about his own medicinal materials than Jiang Songshu, and began to introduce them to several people.

"Our family currently has limited energy, so we mainly focus on picking three kinds of herbs: Gastrodia elata, Pinellia pinellia, and Panax notoginseng. In addition, the herbs we have picked before include Scutellaria baicalensis, Codonopsis pilosula, Arctium lappa, Angelica dahurica, etc. There were many types of picking at the beginning, but later I found that the variety was too complicated to focus on picking, so I selected three types.”

Chen Jinsong and his two younger brothers looked at each other and nodded, "We will collect Gastrodia elata and Panax notoginseng, as well as Huang Cen and Angelica dahurica. I know you don't have that much now. We will come here about once every six months. Each of these four medicinal materials Two hundred catties each."
