Ning Wan was about to enter the city, so Leng Li followed him uneasy. They followed Medical Officer Chen to a medicinal materials market in Luzhou City. Ning Wan saw many precious medicinal materials here, which were extremely rare.
"This wild ginseng is of the highest quality. You can't find it in the capital. Uncle, how much does this thing cost?"
The old man selling wild ginseng glanced at Ning Wan and did not say the price. Instead, he asked: "Young master, how much do you think this thing is worth?"
After careful inspection, Ning Wan looked at the old man and said, "Three hundred taels of silver!"
When she finished speaking, everyone watching was shocked.
"Three hundred taels, young master, are you crazy? Thirty taels is too much for this kind of stuff!"
Ning Wan shook her head with a smile and took out the banknote from her purse and handed it to the old man.
"I'm afraid you don't recognize the goodness of this mountain ginseng. This is a king ginseng that has grown in the cracks of rocks for at least five hundred years. This kind of good ginseng only grows on cliffs. Unless you are someone who can climb over eaves and walk over walls,
Those who can't pick it up, but those who can risk their lives to get such good things, are worth the price!"
The old man held the banknote and looked at Ning Wan with admiration in his eyes.
"Young Master is kind-hearted and well-informed. I admire you! You are right. This wild ginseng does grow on the cliff. My son broke his leg trying to pick it. Now he needs money to save his life. Mr.
Thank you, sir, you saved the lives of my whole family!"
Ning Wan shook his head slightly and said, "I don't have to be so polite. You and I are both businessmen. You sell and I buy. This is a matter of willingness. Now that the money and goods are clear, I must be careful!"
The old man laughed loudly and said: "Boy, are you worried that my money will be robbed? Don't worry, I don't have many other things, I just have many sons. If I lose one, I still have eight. I want to
Look, who is so bold and dares to snatch something from my hand!"
After the old man finished speaking, several strong men who were sitting on the ground suddenly stood up and stood behind the old man one by one, looking very majestic.
Ning Wan also sighed for the first time: "I didn't expect that having so many sons would have such a wonderful effect!"
Bai Shu and Ban Xia looked at each other with helpless expressions on their faces. Ning Wan spent money like water, but he spent three thousand taels in half an hour, and bought four or five carts of medicine and wine. Doctor Chen looked at it
, I was almost scared to death by her.
"Mr. Du, you are going to bankrupt us! Mr. Wei gave me a hundred taels of silver to buy some honeysuckle, and you ended up buying thousands of taels. This time Mr. Wei will have to beat the official to death!"
Mr. Wei is the person in charge of medical officers. He is very strict, but he is also very decent and has a high prestige in the military.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, this young master paid for these all by himself, no money from Mr. Wei is needed!"
Even though he said that, after returning home, he was still scolded by Mr. Wei.
"Master Du, I know that you were born in the Eucommia Thatched Cottage and that you are a wealthy man, but this is a military camp, not your home! Look at these things you bought and the wine. Do you know that drinking is not allowed in the military camp?"
After Master Wei finished speaking, Ning Wan was stunned. She turned to look at Leng Li and asked: "Drinking is not allowed in the military camp? Is this true?"
Leng Li was also speechless. When she bought it, Leng Li tried to persuade her, but she didn't listen!
"Everything Master Wei said is true. Master, these wines should not be placed in the camp!"
Ning Wan frowned. Now she was in trouble. She had spent a lot of money to buy ten jars of fine wine!
"Master Wei, don't worry. I bought these wines to make medicinal wine. As you know, many sergeants in the camp have old diseases. I have several secret recipes for making medicinal wine, which can make many medicinal wines with different functions.
Come!"
Mr. Wei frowned. This Mr. Du has been very pushy since he entered the camp. Now no one in the military camp has heard of his name, which makes Mr. Wei a little unhappy.
"Master Du, there is no need to show off your medical skills in front of me. I know that in terms of medical skills, I am indeed no match for Master Du. But this is a military camp with military orders. If you disobey military orders, you will be whipped!"
Ning Wan frowned. Master Wei was not accommodating at all, which made Ning Wan a little annoyed.
"Master Wei..."
"You don't need to explain this to me. I'm warning you that you can't keep a single jar of these wines. If I see these things here tomorrow, I will certainly punish Mr. Du!"
Mr. Wei said these few words and walked away swaggeringly. Banxia was still a little unconvinced.
"Sir, I see Master Wei is just jealous of your superb medical skills, even surpassing him, that's why he is so vengeful!"
"Don't talk nonsense! Banxia, you are not allowed to say such things in the future. Mr. Wei has a good reputation in the army. He has been in the army for twenty years and has experienced countless battles. We are not qualified to say anything wrong about him! It's just this wine.
It’s a pity that it’s poured out like this. You go find a place outside and I’ll bury all the wine. When the army returns home in triumph, we’ll come back to get it!”
