When the two returned to the inn, they happened to meet Shen Zhen who was holding a bowl, Jiang Ning was grabbed by him, Shen Zhen said: "I called you just now, why didn't you answer?"

Han Zhiyuan looked up at the sky with a face of nothing to do with himself, so Jiang Ning had no choice but to laugh dryly: "Really? Maybe it's the noise in the lobby, we didn't hear it."

Shen Zhen was suspicious: "Didn't hear it?" But seeing the sincere expression on Jiang Ning's face, he let it go, and said: "It's just in time for you to come back, I am short of manpower here."

As he spoke, he dragged Jiang Ning to the backyard, but Han Zhiyuan didn't hold him back, so he had to follow him in.

Before reaching the backyard, Jiang Ning smelled the strong scent of bitter herbs. The golden sunshine in the afternoon filled the yard, and it was warm. Dozens of large boxes were spread out on the ground. Third Young Master Shen was squatting to dry the herbs with his sleeves rolled up. , Hearing someone coming in, he said without looking back: "I told you to get a bowl of water, why have you been here for so long?"

Shen Zhen said: "Master, I called someone to help."

The Third Young Master Shen looked back with a rather surprised look on his face. He stood up, patted the dust on his robe, and said with a smile to the two of them: "It turns out it's you, you're interested."

Looking at his gentle smile, Jiang Ning felt inexplicably ashamed in his heart. Han Zhiyuan glanced at him, turned his eyes to the medicinal materials all over the yard, and said casually: "We are hired by you to do things for you. polite."

After Han Zhiyuan finished speaking, he pulled Jiang Ning past him, squatted down in a corner of the yard, and began to arrange the medicinal materials.

Third Young Master Shen watched the two of them move, his smile was still gentle and gentle, Shen Zhen handed him the water, and complained to those servants who followed the merchant: "As soon as you talk about rest, they will scatter like birds and beasts, none of them are useful."

Third Young Master Shen drank the water, handed the bowl back, and said indifferently: "People belong to others, how can I expect them to do things for me with all their heart?"

Shen Zhen hesitated to speak: "But the young master—"

Before he could say anything, Third Young Master Shen patted him on the head and said with a slight smile: "Young Master taught you a truth, no matter when and where, you can't bet on other people's conscience."

When Shen Zhen heard this, his face was still filled with resentment, Third Young Master Shen turned to look at Jiang Ning and the two, and said, "Speaking of which, I should thank him."

"Thank him?! Eldest young master?" Shen Zhen stared at him with an expression of what do you think, young master.

Third Young Master Shen smiled nonchalantly: "Otherwise, how would I know which people are useful and which are not?"

Fortunately, the sunshine today was not bad. After drying for a long time, the medicinal materials were finally almost dry. Although it was still a bit damp, this was the best result. In the evening, the four of them put away all the medicinal materials again. Sweating profusely.

Jiang Ning looked at the Third Young Master Shen squatting halfway to pick up the medicinal materials. His tooth-colored robe was covered with a lot of dust, and there were a lot of scraps of medicinal materials. It looked dusty. He thought for a while, and couldn't help but say: " Master Shen, I think this medicine..."

"What's the matter?" Third Young Master Shen raised his head and looked at him questioningly.

Han Zhiyuan threw the medicinal materials into the cargo box slowly and didn't pack them up. He sat down next to Jiang Ning with his arms folded, his whole body exuding a sense of presence that couldn't be ignored. Jiang Ning: "..."

He paused, and then continued: "I personally think that these medicinal materials have lost a lot of their medicinal properties after being drenched in water, and if they are half wet and not dry, even if they arrive in Bianzhou, they are likely to be moldy. .”

"You're really right," Third Young Master Shen nodded, patted the scraps of herbs on his hands, looked at the cargo boxes all over the yard, and sighed, "These herbs were the best when they were collected, please Specialized doctors carefully selected and inspected before buying, after this incident, most of the medicine’s properties have indeed been lost.”

Jiang Ning frowned and asked, "If that's the case, why didn't you stop the loss in time?"

"Why stop the loss?" Third Young Master Shen was full of doubts.

Jiang Ning patted his forehead. The ancients did not have this word. He thought for a while and explained: "Since most of the medicinal materials have been lost now, and will continue to be lost, when you arrive in Bianzhou, it is very likely that when you open the container, there will be There is only a box of moldy medicinal materials left, which will no longer be used as medicine, so why not sell them at a high price before the medicinal materials are still valuable?"

"But..." Third Young Master Shen was about to say something, but suddenly he changed his mind and said, "You mean to sell the medicinal materials in Yuyang City?"

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded, Third Young Master Shen thought about it, but shook his head: "It won't work."

He said, and patiently explained to Jiang Ning: "You may not know the way. According to the law of Daze, all the medicines in the medical center must be purchased from the medicine store prescribed by the government, so as to prevent people from being wrong. It's a lie, Shen's medicine shop is in Yuezhou, so our medicinal materials can't be sold here, and no medical center and pharmacy dare to buy it."

Jiang Ning suggested: "Then what if the government comes forward to dispose of these medicinal materials?"

Third Young Master Shen was startled, and said: "This... is naturally the best way, but..."

Jiang Ning reminded him with a smile: "Third young master, don't forget that the plague in Suzhou has not passed yet, why did we encounter difficulties when we entered the city today?"

This sentence was like enlightenment, Third Young Master Shen thought for a moment, then stood up abruptly, with a slightly excited expression on his face, he didn't even have time to say more, left a "thank you", and hurried out.

Shen Zhenzhang Er's monk couldn't figure it out, while locking the box, he asked Jiang Ning, "What did you say to my young master? I haven't seen him so impatient for many years."

Jiang Ning smiled mysteriously: "I pointed out a great way of making money for you young master."

Shen Zhen: "?"

Han Zhiyuan: "Hmph."

Jiang Ning touched the dog's head with a smile, and stood up: "I'm so hungry, it's time to eat."

The caravan entourage who had been scattered like birds and beasts rushed back on time at dinner time, Shen Zhen kept rolling his eyes at them while his nose was not his nose, his eyes were not his eyes.

But now Liu Si, who dared to challenge him, has been dealt with, so no one dared to challenge Shen Zhen's authority, everyone closed their eyes sullenly, and squatted in the corner gnawing steamed buns.

Jiang Ning was sitting on the threshold, chatting with Han Zhiyuan who was standing against the wall with his arms folded, and chatted nonchalantly. At this time, Third Young Master Shen came into the backyard, looked at the situation in the yard, and by the way, he reaped the news of Xiao Shen Zhen. With a tail, he walked towards Jiang Ning and the two, and said to them with a smile: "I wonder if it is convenient for you two to talk about it?"

Han Zhiyuan stood up straight, with a calm expression: "Young Master Shen has something to say, just say it."

Third Young Master Shen has always had a good temper, and he still smiled, but Jiang Ning felt quite embarrassed, as if his own child was ignorant, so he stood up and gave Third Young Master Shen a step down, and said, "What's the matter?"

Third Young Master Shen smiled and stretched out his hand: "Please."

It seems that this matter can't be said in a few words, so Jiang Ning had no choice but to follow him to the lobby. Han Zhiyuan leaned against the wall with his arms folded, watching the backs of Jiang Ning and Third Young Master Shen gradually go away, with a cold handsome face. It moved like a mountain, and after a few seconds, he lifted his heels up neatly.

In the inn lobby, the two chose a seat by the window and sat down. Third Young Master Shen summoned the waiter and said, "Cook a pot of Yuqian Longjing."

When Jiang Ning heard the word tea, he suddenly remembered the bowl of tea with mixed flavors that he drank at Liu Gong's house that day. This conversation is over.

After a while, the tea in the waiting room was brought, followed by Han Zhiyuan, he looked at it, and sat down beside Jiang Ning without hesitation, two big men were squeezed on the same stool, it was a bit weird, Lian Shen The third young master looked at him with strange eyes, Jiang Ning moved to the side helplessly, and discussed with Han Zhiyuan in a low voice: "Shall I sit next to you?"

Han Zhiyuan replied with a cold face: "This stool is not lame, can two people sit on it?"

Jiang Ning: "..." As long as you are happy, young man.

"Ahem." This time, even the third young master Shen felt that the atmosphere was getting weirder. He cleared his throat, poured tea for the two of them himself, and said with a smile: "Although this inn is mediocre, their tea is very good Yes, try it."

After he finished speaking, he pushed the poured tea in front of the two of them. Jiang Ning stared at the cup of tea in horror. When Third Young Master Shen saw it, he thought he was pouring something. He hesitated and said, "This Tea...what's the problem?"

Jiang Ning shook his head, Han Zhiyuan took a look, took the cup of tea in front of him, drank it down, and said with a blank expression, "He doesn't like tea."

"So that's the case, I was the one who was abrupt." Third Young Master Shen smiled at Jiang Ning apologetically.

Jiang Ning returned a smile with difficulty, and was about to change the subject, but Han Zhiyuan said in a low voice: "It's quite sour, with half a cup of mature vinegar in it."

After he finished speaking, he drank his own cup again, as if he was drinking Erguotou Laobaigan.

Jiang Ning suddenly felt as if there was such a sour taste rising from his stomach, and his teeth were soft. He forced a smile at Third Young Master Shen: "I don't know what is the important thing that Master Shen invited us two over?"

Young Master Shen San smiled kindly: "I am the third in the family, my name is Xuanqing, if you two don't mind, you can call me Shen San.

After hearing this, Jiang Ning said, "Then we should be respectful rather than obedient."

Shen Xuanqing nodded with a chuckle, and turned to the business: "Today I went to the government office in Yuyang City with Mr. Li, and as you said, the matter is settled."

Jiang Ning showed surprise on his face, and said pleasantly: "It's really done? Then let's say congratulations first." This is really fast. He thought it would take at least a few days to settle the government, but this can also be seen from the side Well, the Shen family is still a big family with a good background.

Shen Xuanqing waved his hands, with a very humble expression: "Thank you for your reminder, if not, this batch of medicinal materials will be lost."

Jiang Ning said with a smile: "I just came up with an idea by chance, but I didn't put in much effort. It depends on your strength to make this happen."

Shen Xuanqing hesitated for a moment, before he questioned: "I have asked Mr. Li, the two of you want to take advantage of this business trip to go to Yuezhou, don't you?"
