Chapter 96 Unexpected "acquaintance"
Their old acquaintance - wasn't it the same Yan Qing who Du Heng wanted to kill two birds with one stone at that time, and deceived him for 50,000 taels and planned to use this to get rid of Xue Feibai?
Fortunately, I was wearing men's clothes at this time, Du Heng thought.
"Uh..." Yan Qing also saw Xue Feibai, stopped walking forward to make friends, smiled coquettishly, and didn't know how to react.
Finally, Du Heng broke the deadlock and greeted Yan Qing warmly: "Brother Yan, come and take a seat! It's been a long time. Have you been assigned to Yunnan?"
Yan Qing begged for mercy:
"Don't make fun of me. I don't know why there was a turmoil during the period of Quanxu in Jingzhong. The Ministry of Personnel suddenly became the most impartial and selfless place in the world. It gave men a useless place to go. No matter how hard I tried, it didn't work.
;
So let’s go back to our roots and be a businessman who values profits over separation!”
Why was there so much noise at that time? Du Heng, the creator of the figurines, knew it all.
Although Yan Qing was talking, his eyes couldn't stop looking at Xue Feibai, who was glaring at him all the time. With such a cowardly look, he thought that a dog could never stop eating shit.
Du Heng frowned, blocked Xue Feibai, and said "frankly" in a low voice:
"Brother Yan, to tell you the truth, we eloped when I gave up my official status and he gave up his status as the son of a noble family. We have made an oath to each other for life, and Fei Bai can be regarded as your friend's wife..."
Xue Feibai suddenly indulged in the great happiness of "open relationship" and was a little overwhelmed. He was completely unaware of the fact that Du Heng and Yan Qing were brothers...
Yan Qing suddenly said seriously: "I see, it's my brother who was rude, so I'll punish myself with a drink first for my brother's sake!" After saying that, he poured a full glass of wine and drank it himself, leaving not a drop left.
Yan Qing has some weird principles. He calls himself "a romantic but not obscene" and believes that after Xue Feibai became "the wife of a good friend", he would no longer miss her, even though the two had been "sincerely opposite each other".
He also said, "I am willing to be punished for being rude to my younger siblings"! All of a sudden, he had to take money and stab himself in the eyes, etc., which made Xue Fei become a puffer fish with anger, and all the diners around him looked at him sideways.
Du Heng also felt angry and funny. Why did he get drunk before he even drank? So he could only change the topic——
"Brother Yan, since you didn't come to Yunnan to be an official, you must have come to do business?"
This question really got to the point, and Yan Qing immediately started chatting:
"Isn't that right? I've found that the medicine business has been getting better and better recently! The bandit suppression in Yunnan is booming, and the tea horse road is much more lively. Brother Yu, how can I not take a trip into this muddy water?"
Du Heng almost laughed at him: "What's the 'muddy water'? I think it's true that you're here to 'dig for gold'!"
"Hey, I can't hide anything from my dear brother! Drink this cup first!" Yan Qing and Du Heng chatted happily over the wine.
Just as the food was being served, Yan Qing immediately said: "Seller, if there is anything else that is good and expensive, please bring it up. I will take care of it!"
The store owner immediately laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes: "Okay!"
Du Heng shook his head with a smile, why should he refuse if he is willing to be a host? Xue Feibai, on the other hand, was very happy with Yan Qing's big hand and followed him to the kitchen.
Du Heng drank another glass: "Brother Yan came to Yunnan for the special products of Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps sinensis and other precious Chinese herbal medicines?"
Yan Qing stretched out a finger and shook it: "No~No~"
Du Heng didn't take it seriously: "That's Gastrodia elata, Panax notoginseng, Chonglou, Huang Jing and so on?"
"Sanqi, Chonglou has it, but the other two flavors don't. But what I want to buy in large quantities is not these." Yan Qing pretended to be mysterious.
"'Jinbuhuan' removes blood stasis and stops bleeding, activates blood circulation and relieves pain. It is mainly used to treat bruises, congestion, swelling and pain;
‘Qiye Yizhihua’ reduces swelling and relieves pain, cools the liver and calms convulsions. It can be used to clear away heat and detoxify, and treat pain due to falls.
The medicines my brother bought really made Yu Di have to wonder: Could it be that he has suffered a love injury and needs to buy more medicine to treat it?" Du Heng was in a good mood and winked at Yan Qing and smiled.
"Brother Heng is joking. Recently, the medicinal materials in the northern market are still particularly popular for treating trauma... It's better for me, Brother Yu, to stock more in the production areas, and then sell them at a high price when I get to the north, eliminating the need for middlemen to make the difference..."
Du Heng suddenly sobered up: "Could it be that there's going to be a war at the border?"
"Hey, dear brother, you are overthinking. There is no day when there is no war at the border. There is no day when there is no big battle, and there is no day when all kinds of small frictions can stop.
Isn't this winter? The Yan people in the north don't farm, and they catch up with the Han people to celebrate the festival, so they like to grab some at this time. The market for medicinal materials at this time of year is very good!
Bloody leaves, agrimony, Panax notoginseng, Platycladus orientalis leaves...are all in good demand at this time!"
After Yan Qing explained this, Du Heng understood a lot: "Then what is it that brother just said he wanted to buy in large quantities?"
"It's nux vomica!"
"Poisonous nux vomica?"
"Exactly!"
Even if you are as smart as Du Heng, you still can't figure out the pulse of this profiteer. Strychnos vomica is mainly used to unblock meridians and dissipate stagnation, reduce swelling and relieve pain. It is also effective for bruises, carbuncles and sores, and it is considered a symptomatic treatment.
But this medicine was difficult to prepare and expensive to sell. If he had to transport it all the way to the north, would he be able to make money back?
Du Heng expressed his doubts, but to his surprise, Yan Qing held up his hands and laughed: "Brother Heng doesn't know, Brother Yu just wants to sell it to those Beiyan people to make money! If they don't concoct it themselves, they will be poisoned. Brother Yu
It can be regarded as ‘serving the country’!”
Du Heng: His self-proclaimed "foolish brother" is not exaggerating at all. He dares to tell outsiders about this kind of making a fortune, but he probably won't really make a fortune.
Du Heng rubbed his temples: "Brother Yan, why don't we get something cheap and safe! Beiyan people are not fools, mugwort, dragon tooth grass... aren't these all profitable?..."
She actually had something left unsaid. In fact, his old business of selling tea was pretty good, so why did he have to fiddle with medicinal materials? Don't you know what "every line is like a mountain"?
Yan Qing was already a little drunk:
"Someone has already done that! Sir, I don't want to follow people's advice. If you want to do it, just do something different! Let me tell you, there is a cheaper drug that is available everywhere. That is the real treasure!"
Du Heng was intrigued by him and became curious: "Oh? What on earth is it?"
Yan Qing leaned close to her ear: "Leave Xue Xiaolang to me for one night, and I will tell you."
Du Heng: "..."
Yan Qing saw the worried look on her face and immediately laughed:
"Hahahaha! My dear brother, why are you so cute! Hahahaha, look at you, it looks like I've cuckolded you!"
Xue Feibai, who came out of the kitchen, heard about the "cuckold" and immediately ran to Du Heng to explain: "Don't listen to his nonsense, nothing happened to us that day! I gave him a 'cut off all descendants'..."
