Normally, Jiang Yichen would never think that Shopkeeper Du could get the missing herbs in the medicine list in one day.
However, before dinner time, Jiang Yichen actually watched four or five helpers whom he had never seen before, each carrying a medicine basket half as tall as a person, walking quickly into the courtyard and unloading the few missing herbs.
, the same is not less, the same is not bad.
In the evening, Jiang Yichen was very gregarious and followed the brothers Ahe and Awu, who lived in the same house, to go for shabu skewers.
While chatting, I realized that the banknotes Xi Weiyu took out in the afternoon were thirty thousand taels.
What exactly is the concept of thirty thousand taels?
That means that after deducting the cost of the herb farm and the labor cost of the medicine hall, the remaining silver is enough to supply the Four Liang Qianjin Hall to treat ordinary people's illnesses and injuries for more than half a year without taking any money.
Therefore, it is really easy for Shopkeeper Du to slightly increase the price to purchase the missing medicinal materials from elsewhere.
Ahe and Awu are both about the same age, Ahe is a few years older than Awu, and the two brothers are quite talkative, so they are the people Jiang Yichen is more familiar with in the medicine hall, besides shopkeeper Du and Achai.
Before today, he had never heard the two brothers mention Yuntianguan. He thought that Shopkeeper Du had some restraints on his employees, and this was a kind of protection for them.
From the few words spoken by the two of them, it was not difficult to tell that they had been to Yuntian Temple, more than once.
Jiang Yichen knew that as long as he directed the topic to Yuntian Temple, he would not need to say the rest. The two of them would be able to describe what they saw and heard in Yuntian Temple.
But Jiang Yichen didn't do this. After all, shopkeeper Du treated him well, and he could never break his promise.
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
A night of silence.
The next morning, the morning light arrived at its scheduled pace.
The girl with two pigtails and a smile like a silver bell also followed the steps of the autumn morning light and appeared in the courtyard of Siliang Qianjin Hall.
There were already many workers busy in the courtyard, but there were twelve people standing aside, which was out of tune with the busyness of the others.
The reason why they are out of place is that eleven of the twelve people are standing still.
Among the eleven people, the one wearing a white robe is Shopkeeper Du.
Among the other ten people, eight were wearing gray robes and two were wearing khaki attire, standing in a line and in pairs.
The remaining person was pacing back and forth in front of the ten people, looking left and right. The pink embroidered auspicious cloud robe on his body shone in the sunlight, making him dazzling among the crowd.
Jiang Yichen stood in the queue of ten people as a matter of course, waiting for Xi Weiyu's selection.
As for the forty-nine herbs weighing over a hundred kilograms, they had already been packed into five square medicine baskets of moderate size and were lying quietly aside.
These medicine baskets seem to be made for long-distance transportation. If you want to ride a horse, you can tie these medicine baskets to the saddle, which will not hinder your riding. If you want to hike, you can also carry them behind your back, without affecting your movement through mountains and rivers.
.
The medicine basket was ready and ready to go, and six horses were ready at the entrance of Siliangqianjin Hall. Xi Weiyu only had to wait for Xi Weiyu to select five people from the ten people to go with them, and they were ready to go.
Xi Weiyu had always felt at ease with Shopkeeper Du's arrangements, and it was the same this time.
There are ten young and strong young men in the queue, which is twice as many as the medicine box, which is enough for her to carefully select and use them.
But her eyes had always been picky, and the itinerary for this trip was meticulous. She didn't want to make any mistakes, so she chose carefully. After half a cup of tea, she finally thought of a good way to test the depth of these people.
Seeing this scene, other people in the courtyard didn't know whether to laugh or to show respect, because at this moment, Xi Wei's words were as solemn and solemn as a heroine general ordering his troops on the battlefield.
After a while, Xi Weiyu stopped in front of the person on the far left of the queue.
Snap!
Everyone is shocked!
Xi Weiyu actually moved her hands and slapped the first guy on her left.
The first waiter, named Ayi, was covering his left cheek and looking at Xi Weiyu in astonishment.
Seeing his serious face, he immediately turned his attention to Shopkeeper Du.
Looking at Shopkeeper Du's stunned look, Ayi's eyes became moist. He really didn't know what he had done wrong.
She lowered her head in agony and comforted herself, saying that maybe she was drowsy and Miss Xi noticed it. Is she doing this to refresh herself?
Shopkeeper Du finally calmed down and was about to ask "Why?" Xi Weiyu said first: "The reaction is too slow."
Before everyone could understand what these four words meant.
I heard two more snapping sounds that were crisper and louder than just now.
Previously, maybe everyone in the courtyard was busy working, or they didn't hear the applause clearly, or they mistakenly thought they heard it wrong.
But after the continuous slaps started again, no one doubted their ears anymore, and their eyes quickly focused.
It turned out that Xi Weiyu took three steps to the right and slapped her twice.
The two people behind were still caught off guard, and their cheeks were hurt.
"Too slow." Xi Weiyu shook her head and said.
Everyone in the courtyard was silent, no one said anything, and no one was busy with their own affairs anymore. They all wanted to see what happened.
When she walked to the fourth person, many people already understood what Xi Weiyu was doing.
At least A He and Shopkeeper Du have reacted, and Xi Weiyu is slapping them to test their reactions.
Although it is a bit unreasonable, it is still a solution. Shopkeeper Du could only say this to himself in his heart.
It's just that these children have suffered so much. They have been slapped in public. I'm afraid they have never been so humiliated since they grew up, right?
But so what if I'm humiliated?
Xi Weiyu is known as the little witch. Among the nine people he selected, except for Jiang Yichen, seven of the remaining nine have been to Yuntian Temple and stayed there for at least ten and a half days. What is Miss Xi like?
They don't know what kind of status a person has.
As long as the remaining two look better, they should never feel angry when they see other brothers being slapped so calmly, let alone resist without knowledge.
Children, be good, it’s just a slap, and you’ll be gone. After that, I’ll bring you some candies to eat. Shopkeeper Du had to keep winking at the boys in his medicine hall, telling them to be patient.
.
Snap!
Another crisp sound startled Shopkeeper Du, this time it was as if his right cheek had also been hit by Xi Weiyu, it hurt even when he heard it.
The fourth person is Ahe.
Shopkeeper Du clearly saw A He taking a step back and finally dodging Xi Weiyu's palm. He was really happy for A He, but the next moment, he saw Xi Weiyu take a step forward and hit him with a backhand palm.
Got it!
The left cheek escaped, but the right cheek was hit!
"Some cleverness, but more than enough cleverness, not enough reflexes." Xi Weiyu shook his head and sighed.
After that, he walked towards the fifth person.
A He was stunned for a moment after being slapped. He thought he had guessed the little witch's tricks, but he didn't expect Xi Weiyu to still be so cunning.
Yes, she is a little witch and cannot be judged by common sense.
After hearing Xi Wei's sigh, Ah He felt like crying but had no tears. His face didn't hurt, but his heart ached.
Then the fifth person followed A He's method of dodging the palm, but he took two steps back and dodged Xi Weiyu's first palm from a distance.
Unexpectedly, the distance between the two bodies was so great that Xi Weiyu came closer with just one arrow step, but the second palm still hit the target steadily.
Another snap!
The sixth person was still not spared.
And standing in seventh place was Jiang Yichen.
The six comrades in the Medicine Hall before this failed to escape Xi Weiyu's clutches. Can he escape?
When Shopkeeper Du saw the first six people being hit one by one, he couldn't help but shake his head. It wasn't that he was angry but he just couldn't bear to watch.
But when Xi Weiyu stood in front of Jiang Yichen, shopkeeper Du's fish-tailed head finally stopped and he looked at Jiang Yichen intently.
The first six people had no skills at all, and they were slapped every time they were slapped. There was no shame in suffering in front of the gangsters.
But this kid is the killer Night Owl. Can he bear this anger?
If he fights back, wouldn't he expose himself?
Just thinking about it like this, Shopkeeper Du's heart was already in his throat.
