Early the next morning, Mu Yunhan and his brother asked Old Man Gu to drive the carriage out and make a large purchase with a list.
I bought a large iron pot, a large steamer, sacks, gypsum powder, fresh rice bran, oil paper, sulfur, twine, cane sugar, lime, spirits, wax, and several bottles.
Old Man Gu couldn't help but feel a little interested: "Han girl, what did you buy these things for?"
Mu Yunhan did not hide anything: "Growing mushrooms. Does uncle know the backers of these three drug stores? I think they all seem to be very powerful."
Old Man Gu said: "That is, these three drug stores each have a backer in the capital. The merchant's backer is the Meng family, and the Jiang family's backer is Concubine Jiang."
The Meng family is known as the Meng Ban Dynasty and is the only family in the entire Zhao Kingdom that can compete with the Gu family, the priest family. They are the most wealthy and face-loving family. The luxurious decoration of the drug store is exactly the style of his family.
As for Concubine Jiang, she was very favored by her husband, and her family was famous for being greedy for money.
Jiang's Pharmacy specializes in business for the rich, and shopkeeper Ye is so arrogant and obsessed with making money, which is exactly in line with this hobby.
Mu Yunhan was thinking about it, and then heard Old Man Gu say: "The Sun Family Pharmacy with the best business is the business of Gu Family and Mu Family in Lanjing."
There are actually Gu's and Mu's businesses here?
Why was the small Liuxian County so favored by the three major forces of the Zhao Kingdom that they all set up medicine shops here?
Mu Yunhan was extremely curious: "Are they a partnership?"
Old Man Gu looked at her meaningfully: "That's not really true. Strictly speaking, this property belongs to the current priest Gu Yilan."
When he suddenly heard this name, Mu Yunhan's heart felt as if it was tightly grasped by a big hand. He shrank into a ball in pain and could hardly breathe.
She heard herself ask numbly: "I have heard of the priest, but what does that have to do with the Mu family?"
"In March of this year, Gu Yilan got married to Murong, the eldest daughter of the Mu family. To show her sincerity, she gave this medicine shop to Murong as a wedding gift. Because the medicine shop was of great significance, Murong insisted on running it together regardless of each other.
.The couple is very loving, and it has become a legend."
Old Man Gu's voice seemed to come from a very far away place, it was vague and unreal.
Mu Yunhan felt that he didn't hear every word clearly, but he remembered every word clearly.
It is of extraordinary significance. It is a wedding gift, regardless of each other. The love is so great that it has become a good story.
She is indeed that big joke.
Mu Yunhan's smile was brighter than the most blooming wandering flower. She said cheerfully: "Oh, that's great. They are such a couple. It's so enviable. But why are three such powerful families here?
Is there a pharmacy here? Is there some treasure hidden here?"
Old Man Gu said: "Of course it's for the dragon veins in Xiangshan Mountain."
In a place where dragons flourish, dragon energy is prosperous, and there are always treasures from heaven and earth.
Even if you can't go to Xiangshan Mountain to dig up precious medicinal materials, Duyun Mountain next to it is no problem.
The Gu family and the Mu family need these precious medicinal materials even more due to their bloodline, so it is normal to open a pharmacy here to collect precious medicinal materials.
As for Meng's and Jiang's Pharmacy, they probably want to get a piece of the pie.
Mu Yunhan was silent for a long time and asked: "Since it's all about good medicinal materials, why is it that only the Jiang family likes my asparagus? The other two families don't care much about it?"
Old Man Gu was asked, and after a while he said, "Maybe the servant is stupid and doesn't understand?"
"I don't think so. There must be other reasons."
Just as he was passing by the Merchant Pharmacy, Mu Yunhan stopped Old Man Gu and said, "I'll come as soon as I go!" (To be continued)
