Although Shen Tianshu left the city to go to Dongquan Temple, the pharmaceutical work in the medical clinic did not stop.
Originally, such errands did not require Shen Tianshu to do it himself. The work of boiling medicine and making medicines was originally done by servants, apprentices or medicine boys.
The Gao and Deng families were used to doing these errands when they were in the Liu family, and now they are doing them with ease.
Especially after arriving in Yongzhou Mansion, Shen Tianshu kept them outside and rarely told them anything, so the two families inevitably felt a little uneasy.
This time Xie Yan only disclosed the situation to Gao Shan, and the others did not know about it.
Now that I finally have something to do, everyone is working hard.
Because they live close by, Brother Shun and the four of them come here almost every day to check on the progress.
Dafeng and Xiaoliuzi just came to watch the fun, and sometimes they could even have a meal with Gaoshan.
Brother Shun was afraid that the medicine would be too time-consuming and would delay their return trip.
Chengzi, at Boss Qiu's request, came over every day to check on the progress and then pass the news on to him.
Therefore, Boss Qiu knows more about the situation in the medical center than the two government officials Shi Da arranged to monitor.
But Chengzi has never seen Lady Tong, and Boss Qiu is not sure whether Lady Tong is at the hospital.
As the number of patent medicines increased, Boss Qiu became more and more anxious, thinking every day about how to confirm whether Mrs. Tong was in the hospital or not.
Xie Yan heard Boss Qiu instruct Chengzi to find a way to confirm whether Mrs. Tong was at home, and immediately understood what he was thinking.
No wonder half of the finished medicines have been prepared and Shi Da has not taken any action yet.
Boss Qiu's search for cooperation failed, and he did this game just to trap Lady Tong in. Now that he was not sure whether she was there or not, he naturally didn't let the hawk see the rabbit.
After Xie Yan came back, he asked Gao Xiuer to put on the clothes that Shen Tianshu left in the hospital, put on a mask, pretend to be Lady Tong, and look for an opportunity to briefly show up in the hospital.
Gao Xiuer dressed up and went to the second door wearing this clothes and stayed for a while.
At this time, Nariko happened to be in the front yard. He was trying to find something to say with Gao Shan while looking around the yard.
When Gao Xiuer first appeared at the second gate, he didn't notice it.
But Gao Shan immediately greeted him, bowed and spoke.
Nariko's attention was immediately drawn and he saw a young lady wearing a mask.
According to what Boss Qiu said before, this should be Lady Tong, right?
Gao Shan will be back soon.
The little lady wearing a mask also turned and left.
Nariko asked nervously: "Uncle Gao, who was that person just now? Why is he still wearing a mask? It looks so strange!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Gao Shan, who has always been very kind, suddenly became serious when he heard this, "That is Madam Tong of the master's family, please be careful what you say!"
When Chengzi heard this, her heart couldn't help but beat wildly. She was really Mrs. Tong!
"I'm sorry, this is the first time I've seen the master's house in such a long time."
"My wife likes to be clean. When she has nothing to do, she likes to stay at home and study medical books. She rarely goes out." Gao Shan said a few words casually, and then seemed to feel that he should not say these, and immediately said with a straight face, "Okay, you Inquiring about these things won't delay your business anyway. You will have all the medicine ready in three to five days."
Nariko immediately stopped asking any more questions and said with a smile: "Hey, it's been a few days and this is the first time I've seen your boss. I'm just curious. Why don't you just pretend I didn't ask?"
Gao Shan did not pursue anything further. Nariko quickly found an excuse and left the hospital in a hurry. He went home, changed his clothes, brought a bamboo hat, and sneaked out secretly.
Nariko's little tricks can only deceive himself and others, and cannot achieve any purpose of preventing tracking.
However, Xie Yan didn't bother to send anyone to follow him, he just kept an eye on Boss Qiu.
Cheng Zi sneaked around a long circle, and after feeling safe, he turned back and knocked on the door of Boss Qiu's residence.
Not long after, the door creaked open, and Nariko stepped in.
"Boss Qiu, I have confirmed that Mrs. Tong is at home!"
Chengzi was very excited. Boss Qiu had promised him before that if he figured out the matter, he would give him another one or two silver coins.
"How did you confirm it?" Boss Qiu's attitude was not enthusiastic.
"I just saw it with my own eyes."
Only then did Boss Qiu pay attention. He sat up straight and asked, "Then tell me, what is she wearing, what does she wear, and what does she look like?"
"Well, she's just wearing a skirt and a blouse, right?" Nariko scratched her head and said, "She was wearing a mask, and I didn't see what she looked like at all.
"But Gao Shan nodded and bowed when he saw her, and his attitude was very respectful.
"I asked more, and he said that Mrs. Tong usually likes to stay at home and study medical books, but then she became serious and told me not to ask any more questions!"
Boss Qiu rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, feeling that what Chengzi said should be the truth.
There was no need for the medical center to lie about this kind of thing. I didn't find any trace of Mrs. Tong going out. It seemed that she had really been staying in the back house.
After confirming this, Boss Qiu asked about pharmaceuticals.
"How much is done now? Is it almost done?"
"It's more than half done. Uncle Gao said it will be done in three to five days." Chengzi naturally knew everything and told Boss Qiu all the information he had asked at the medical clinic.
"Okay, I understand. Since it's almost done, I have to quickly find someone to figure out how to transport it out of the city."
Boss Qiu gave Chengzi a piece of silver as promised, and then coaxed him to leave happily with a few words.
He changed his clothes, packed up and went out to find Shi Da.
"Master Shi, I've done all the research for you. Over at the medical center, nearly 70% of Jinchuang Medicine has been prepared. Now the medicinal materials, patent medicines, pharmaceutical people, and my boss, Mrs. Tong, are all in the medical center. I guarantee you that
You can catch them all with just your hands!”
Shi Da hesitated when he heard this. Now that Shen Zhonglei is not at home, is it really appropriate for him to directly lead people to raid Lady Tong's medical clinic?
But Shi Da was not idle during this period. For such a big matter, it was naturally impossible for him to just listen to Boss Qiu's side of the story.
He also did a lot of investigation in private and could confirm that Boss Qiu was not lying. Now Mrs. Tong's medical clinic is indeed making Jinchuang Medicine.
Now even Prince Rui's palace is investigating the purchase of medicinal materials. If he seizes the opportunity, he might really become famous in one fell swoop and rise to the top in the future.
Boss Qiu watched from the side and knew that Shi Da was already moved. He immediately fanned the flames and said, "Master Shi, this opportunity is rare and fleeting!"
The hesitant look in Shi Da's eyes faded, and his eyes gradually became firm.
