Xianyu asked

Chapter 45
"Shopkeeper Sun, you're being polite. Miss Xiaoru is smart, and she treats me inappropriately."

After Huaying saw shopkeeper Sun, she cupped her hands, and inadvertently raised Xiaoru who was beside her, which attracted a grateful look from the other party.

Shopkeeper Sun nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "Xiaoru is really clever, why don't you be a maid for the girl in the future, and it will be convenient to take care of the girl's daily life at any time."

"Shopkeeper Sun accepted it with good intentions, but it's really inconvenient to walk with others, so I won't let Shopkeeper Sun give up."

Huaying thanked her, but did not agree to the matter.

"That's all right, please take a seat, girl, I only have a few small dishes today, I hope the girl will not be offended."

"It's okay."

The two sat down one after another, and the whole dining table was covered with chicken, duck and fish. Although there were no delicacies from mountains and seas, it was not as shabby as shopkeeper Sun's self-effacement.

It's just that the table is too big and there are only two of them eating, which arouses Huaying's doubts.

"Shopkeeper Sun, your wife."

"Young lady doesn't know that Mrs. Sun's wife died of illness many years ago, and now Ms. Sun has only one daughter under her knees. The little girl was afraid of being born, so she didn't call her to eat." Shopkeeper Sun couldn't help sighing.

"Sorry." Huaying apologized.

"nothing."

Shopkeeper Sun waved his hand, signaling Huaying to eat quickly.

Huaying took a few mouthfuls of vegetables to eat symbolically. Although she was envious of the roast chicken on the table, she didn't dare to be too rude.After all, when going out, everyone wants to save face, and it took a long time before I picked up a chicken leg to eat.

Although the meal was sumptuous, the two of them didn't move their chopsticks too much.

Huaying was embarrassed to eat too much, but shopkeeper Sun always acted like he had no appetite.

Finished meal.

Huaying wiped her mouth, and suddenly remembered today's business, so she pretended to be inadvertent, and asked: "Since shopkeeper Sun is in the medicinal material business, he should have a certain understanding of this medicinal seed. Does any store sell such seeds?"

"Medicine seeds?"

Shopkeeper Sun was taken aback for a moment, then thought for a while, and said: "These medicinal seeds are sold in Qingjiang City, and there are actually some in Sun's medicine shop, but they are all dried and used as medicinal materials. I don't know what the girl is looking for. What's the use?"

"To tell the truth, shopkeeper Sun, this matter was entrusted by a friend who likes planting. When he heard that I was coming to Qingjiang City, he asked me to help him bring back some medicinal seeds."

"Since it is used for planting, the sun-dried seeds of this shop are not very suitable. Although they can be planted and survived, the possibility of germination of the seeds is only [-]-[-]%, which is too wasteful. It is better to go directly to the store to buy seeds. If the girl has needs in this regard, Sun can ask someone to buy it for her, and just copy the types of seeds she needs on paper." Shopkeeper Sun said with a smile.

"There's no need for this matter, Sun Zhanggu just tell me where it's available for sale." Huaying shook her head and politely refused.

"Alright."

Shopkeeper Sun nodded, then called Xiaoru and told her to take Huaying to the shop that sold medicinal seeds.

Afterwards, Huaying and Xiaoru left the dining room together, and the shopkeeper Sun had not been alone for long, so he went to work.

In Qingjiang City, there were extremely many people, horses and vehicles passing by.

Huaying followed Xiaoru around, and finally came to a shop called 'Baibao Store'.

"Miss, this is it."

"Miss Xiaoru, you can go back first, you don't have to wait for me here." Huaying nodded, and before entering the shop, she turned around and asked.

"It's okay, I'll just wait here." Xiao Ru refused, shaking her head.

Seeing his insistence, Huaying walked into the Baibao store without saying anything more.

About half an hour passed before Huaying came out of the store again.

However, looking empty-handed and disappointed, it was obvious that he hadn't found what he wanted.

There are some medicinal seeds in this shop, but they are all ordinary things.She heard what the store manager said, that the precious medicinal seeds in Yongzhou were controlled by the Yaowang gang, and they were not easily sold outside, even if she bought them with money, she had no place to buy them.

Speaking of the Yaowang Gang, it can be regarded as a well-known local martial arts gang, and its status in the Jianghu is enough to rank among the top ten in the entire Yongzhou.

Its business in the gang includes collecting herbs, planting herbs, making medicines, and selling medicines, basically covering the life of medicinal materials. The Yaowang Gang can be said to have monopolized the medicinal material market in Yongzhou.

And medicinal material merchants like Shopkeeper Sun are just reselling some common and easy-to-see medicinal materials, and those that are a little rare will not end up in the hands of small merchants like them.

However, although the Yaowang Gang has a stable position, their business has not been as good as before in the past two years.

The reason has to start with the Yongzhou Martial Arts Leaders Conference.

Last year, the big case planned by Qianjianmen and the Chuanyun faction shocked the entire Yongzhou martial arts overnight, and a well-known and powerful gang like the Yaowang gang became leaderless after the head was killed. Bow down.

Therefore, in the business of medicinal materials, there was also a lot of bleeding, which was severely ripped off by the Qianjianmen and Yunchuan faction, and they harvested it away.

Nowadays, in this Qingjiang City, if you want to buy expensive medicinal materials, you can only buy them at the shops under the name of the Yaowang Gang or the Qianjian and Chuanyun factions.Shops in other places dare not sell even if they have goods, otherwise they will be jointly suppressed by the three factions.

As for medicinal seeds, they are collectively referred to by the three factions, and none of them are sold outside.

As a result, the three factions can be said to be making money every day, controlling the entire medicinal material business in Yongzhou, and it is difficult not to make a fortune.

As soon as Huaying came out, Xiaoru, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, stepped forward to greet her and said:

"Miss, do you want to go somewhere else? The master said that there are several shops in the west of the city that sell medicinal seeds."

"No need, let's go back." Huaying shook her head and said.

She finally understood that if she wanted to get some rare medicinal materials, she had to go to the mountains to gather them herself, and it was impossible to find them even if she ran away in this city.

In fact, shopkeeper Sun misunderstood this matter, and he might not have thought that what Huaying was looking for were some rare medicinal materials, otherwise, Huaying wouldn't have made a trip in vain.

However, there is nothing wrong with this. Ordinary people can't use those medicinal materials, and they can't use them when they see a doctor or take medicine.

You must know that most of those precious medicinal materials are used by martial arts practitioners.Some can assist in body training, while others can assist in the cultivation of internal strength, which is naturally not what ordinary people like them need.

Arrive in high spirits, and return in defeat.

When she returned to Sun's pharmacy, Huaying no longer had any expectations for this Qingjiang City. She was going to go out of the city to try her luck in the nearby mountains while inquiring about her senior sister, and try to see if she could pick up some. Rare herbs.

However, most of them will return without success.After all, there are many disciples of the Medicine King's Gang of Herbalists, so where are the herbs for ordinary people to collect?
