Chapter 913: Distant water cannot quench near thirst
Hukou Town.
When they first arrived in Shen, Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu walked out of the Gaopeng Inn.
The two of them were going to the Huichun Hall to see if they could ask Wu Sansheng to take care of the second baby and third sister temporarily.
Along the way, Chai Yan tried to talk to Hang Baiqiu, but Hang Baiqiu didn't talk much and seemed to be still angry about going to Rouxiangyuan.
Chai Yan shrugged and said, "Since you are still angry, why do you still follow me?"
"Who's angry? Why should I be angry? I'm so good!" Hang Baiqiu obviously didn't mean what he said.
Chai Yan didn't know how to reply to her, so he had to remain silent to avoid making too many mistakes.
In this way, the two of them walked to Huichun Hall without communicating with each other.
As soon as Chai Yan and the two entered the door, Wu Sansheng at the counter saw them. He quickly came out and invited them to sit at a table next to them.
While Wu Sansheng was ordering the guys to serve tea, he spoke polite words. His words and attitude showed that he very much welcomed Chai Yan and his two men.
When the tea was served and the pleasantries between the two parties were almost finished, Chai Yan brought the topic to the main topic.
"Shopkeeper Wu, we took the liberty of coming here today because we actually want to ask you a favor!" Chai Yan said.
Wu Sansheng said hurriedly: "Master Chai is out of town. If you have anything to do, just ask him, and Wu will definitely do it!"
Seeing that Wu Sansheng responded readily, Chai Yan immediately told Wu Sansheng that he would go to the south of Lintai Mountain, hoping that he could take care of the two children, Erwa and Sanmei.
Wu Sansheng laughed after hearing this and said loudly: "I thought Master Chai was going to say something big, but it turned out to be this, haha... Don't worry, Master Chai, the second son and the third sister are smart and well-behaved.
, Wu will definitely take good care of Mr. Chai before he comes back!"
"Then thank you so much, shopkeeper Wu!" Chai Yan was in a very happy mood.
"Master Chai, you're welcome!" Wu Sansheng said.
At this time, Hang Baiqiu, who had been silent for a long time, spoke: "Excuse me, shopkeeper Wu, who do you plan to let take care of the second baby and the third sister? Shopkeeper Wu will always be in the store, and the second baby and the third sister cannot also be in the Huichun Hall.
In here?"
Wu Sansheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Miss Hang. Wu has a daughter, whose age should not be much different from the second son and third sister. The three of them can be company on weekdays, and my wife will take care of her. There will be no problem."
After understanding this, Hang Baiqiu felt much relieved and said, "Then I'll trouble Shopkeeper Wu!"
"With a little effort, Miss Hang is so polite..." Wu Sansheng smiled and waved his hand.
Then, Chai Yan took out a hundred-tael silver note and handed it to Wu Sansheng, saying that it was for the expenses needed to take care of his second son and three younger sisters during his absence. If it was not enough, he would make up for it when he came back!
But Wu Sansheng was unwilling to accept it, saying that the expenses for the two children were very small, so there was no need for so much money.
The two parties were pushing the banknotes around when a loud tapping sound suddenly came from the other side of the counter in the store.
The three of them turned around and saw a tall man slapping his palm on the counter, his expression looking very violent and vicious.
Behind the tall man stood a tall, charming young woman.
The tall man said angrily: "If I don't call your shopkeeper over, don't blame me for being rude!"
These words immediately made Wu Sansheng unable to sit still. He quickly confessed to Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu, then stood up and walked over quickly.
"This guest officer, my surname is Wu, is the shopkeeper of this Huichun Hall. I wonder if there is anything wrong with greeting me?" Wu Sansheng asked very kindly with a smile.
The tall man stared at Wu Sansheng, pointed to a ginseng in the box on the counter and asked, "How can such a small ginseng be considered a ginseng?"
Wu Sansheng looked at the ginseng and asked, "Do you want to buy ginseng that is old enough?"
The tall man shouted with a loud voice: "That's right! I want old wild ginseng, the kind that is thick and has many roots. Don't fool me with such inferior things!"
Wu Sansheng did not get angry, but continued to say with a smile: "Sir, I understand what you mean, but in Hukou Town, ginseng has always been a hot commodity, and one such one now is considered rare.
That’s it…”
"What?" The tall man didn't believe it, and he immediately wanted to get angry in public.
Fortunately, the charming woman behind shouted in time: "Brother Hong, don't be angry. Let's talk to the Rongnu family and shopkeeper Wu..."
Hearing the charming woman's voice, the man surnamed Hong barely suppressed his anger, then took a step back and let the charming woman stand in front.
The charming woman stepped forward and gave her a blessing, saying softly: "Little girl Diewu, I have met shopkeeper Wu!"
Wu Sansheng's expression suddenly changed, and he said in surprise: "You...are you the Diewu girl from Rouxiang Courtyard?"
"It's just the little girl." Diewu nodded happily, with a smile on his face.
Wu Sansheng seems to be very fond of girls like Die Wu, and his expression and movements are also straightened up at the moment, as if he is worried that if he does not perform well in any area, Die Wu will have a bad impression of him.
Diewu said softly: "Shopkeeper Wu, I, Brother Hong, urgently need to buy a good ginseng. Your Hui Chun Tang is the largest and most comprehensive medicine shop in Hukou Town, so I would like to ask Shopkeeper Wu to help you think about it."
The solution is to find an old ginseng that is old enough!"
"So that's it..." Wu Sansheng nodded while thinking about a solution.
But finding century-old wild ginseng in Hukou Town is not an easy task...
After a while, Wu Sansheng asked: "Miss Diewu, how long is Brother Hong willing to wait? If I send someone to Ganquan County immediately, we may be able to find the old wild ginseng you want!"
"No, we still have to go to Ganquan County?" Brother Hong immediately got angry and shouted: "Are you kidding me? If I could wait, I would have gone by myself! Do you still need me?"
Diewu pulled Brother Hong's elbow, stabilized him, and then asked: "Shopkeeper Wu, besides going to Ganquan County, is there any other faster way?"
Wu Sansheng thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I will disappoint Miss Diewu..."
Brother Hong immediately said angrily: "Bullshit Hui Chun Tang, it doesn't even have any decent ginseng, and it opens a damn drug store!"
"Brother Hong, can you calm down first?" Die Wu was not satisfied with Brother Hong losing his temper again and again.
Brother Hong snorted vigorously and finally suppressed the anger.
Then, Diewu said: "Shopkeeper Wu, we want this ginseng. How much is it in silver?"
Brother Hong said in surprise: "Miss Diewu, this one is too small..."
Die Wu said: "Brother Hong, water from far away can't quench the thirst of near people. Although this ginseng is a little smaller, it's better than nothing. How about taking it back first for emergencies and then figuring out how to deal with it?"
Brother Hong thought about it and asked, "How much money do you need?"
Wu Sansheng opened his hand and said, "The original price was fifty taels! But since it was bought by a friend of Miss Diewu, let's consider it as forty-five taels!"
"So expensive?" Brother Hong asked in surprise.
Die Wu gently pushed Brother Hong and said, "Give me some money quickly!"
Brother Hong gave the money in a low voice, then picked up the ginseng that he despised, and walked out of the Huichun Hall with Miss Diewu.
After the two went out, Hang Baiqiu found that Chai Yan was still staring at the door, so he raised his hand and waved it twice in front of his eyes, and said unhappily: "What are you looking at? No one is there!"
Chai Yan suddenly withdrew his gaze, looked at Hang Baiqiu and said, "Sir Hang, you have met a strong enemy!"
"Strong rival?" Hang Baiqiu was puzzled: "What are you talking about? Where do you find such a strong rival?"
Chai Yan said very seriously: "I'm sure that the long legs of the butterfly dancing girl just now are definitely on par with yours!"
Hang Baiqiu's face flushed instantly and he scolded: "Go to hell!"
