The next day, shopkeeper Cheng returned to the semicolon and sent a sealed invitation. 【Read full text】
"Lin Baihu invites you to a banquet and drinks tomorrow.
The "family banquet" marked on the post means that no official courtesy is required and it is considered a simple gathering. Li Luoran couldn't help but be startled. He had just met Lin Ming not long ago, so what could happen if he suddenly wanted to invite him to a banquet?
"What's the origin of this post?" he asked Shopkeeper Cheng. Shopkeeper Cheng is very familiar with the locals and can get some information.
I heard that his sister-in-law came recently
"Huang Miao." Li Luoyou said, "He is a member of his family. Could it be that Jie Feng wants us to accompany him?"
"No, I heard that this sister-in-law was escorted by two drug dealers along the way. Lin Baihu probably wanted to help them and introduce some business to them. This is considered as repayment." Shopkeeper Cheng told Lin Baihu's servant Tell him the news he heard there. "I heard that we also invited shopkeeper Yang and several shopkeepers from medicine shops.
"Understood, Li Luoyou nodded. It would be easier to handle it like this. Whether it's buying or selling, it's not a problem to show some friendship to them. Besides, they are also multiple friends.
"Reply to Mr. Lin and say I will definitely go."
There was a banquet the next day, and the guest of honor was accompanied by many guests. They all went to the chief official of Qi Jinyi Guards House to treat the guests. Most people really didn't have the courage to refuse. Yang Shiyi saw his cousin and the "famous doctor" sitting in the guest of honor position. His complexion changed drastically. This made Li Luoyou very strange.
"Mr. Yang, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, Yang Shiyi touched his face. I guess his face didn't look good.
"Brother!" Yang Shixiang didn't expect to meet his cousin.
"Fifth brother Yang Shiyi returned the gift with his hand, and his waist was much deeper than the previous few days.
"What, two mountain beasts?" Lin Ming was surprised.
"Exactly." Yang Shixiang replied calmly, "This is the villain's cousin." "
"Oh? I didn't expect you to have such a relative.
Lin Ming put his hands on his hands and smiled, "I should have thought of it. His surname is also Yang, and he is engaged in the business of medicinal materials.
"Yes, yes. The youngest and Shixiang are cousins. His fifth brother, Yang Shiyi, is sweating on his forehead. Looking at it, Lin Baihu just called him here just to invite them to accompany his fifth brother's little bastard. Have you fallen into Jin Yiwei's trap? Thinking of his fifth brother's attitude this time, he couldn't help but panic.
"That's a close relative." Lin Ming smiled and said, "As the eldest brother, you have to support this brother properly."
"Yes, yes. We are all a family, so naturally we have to do our best," Yang Shiyi responded hurriedly.
Li Luoyou said: "Lin Baihu's friend. Naturally, he is the friend I am waiting for. If you can be useful, just speak up." As he spoke, the boy beside him quickly handed over a name card.
"Shopkeeper Yang, you have met the God of Wealth this time. Lin Ming said proudly, "This shopkeeper Li is not an ordinary person. He was also a well-known figure in Guangzhou city and praised Li Luoyou greatly.
Because of his work, Liu San rarely read internal publications such as "Social Situation Bulletin", but he was familiar with the name Li Luoyou. Liu San had participated in several joint meetings held by the trade department because of the purchase of drugs. The intelligence department once mentioned: This person is the supplier of "Guandong goods" in South China-especially the supply of ginseng and deer root. Almost a monopoly. This person undoubtedly had close trade ties with Houjin.
"Long time admiration! Long time admiration!" Everyone was polite and polite. Liu San's eyes always remained on this "traitor businessman". I saw that this person was about forty years old. He has a long face, a short beard, and a slightly chubby person. He looks like a shrewd businessman, but his deep eyes clearly indicate that he has seen strong winds and waves.
This is a worthy goal. Liu San thought that people in the trade department had mentioned that they should try their best to open up trade routes with Houjin, dump the light industrial products that Lingao Industry was gradually expanding, and at the same time exchange for much-needed horses and livestock. Then insert intelligence personnel through trade. An intelligence network in Liaodong was established.
Since this Li Luoyou deals in Liaodong goods, he has a relationship that can be exploited.
Take a seat and hold a candle, because it is a small family banquet, and the etiquette is relaxed. Everyone chatted freely. Yang Shiyi was so anxious that sweat broke out on his back. He wondered if the fifth brother had any relationship with Lin Baihu? Have you ever put eye drops in front of him? I was both happy and worried at the same time. I was happy that it was something my fifth brother asked me to do a few days ago, and he didn’t refuse it. He had done enough to save face, and there was still room for twists and turns. I was worried that he was holding back on buying medicinal materials and selling patent medicines on his behalf. I'm afraid this brother holds a grudge for this.
After three rounds of drinking, Lin Ming got up and got down to business.
"Shopkeeper Yang Wu," Lin Ming said. "What kind of medicine are you and Dr. Liu going to sell in Foshan?"
"Shi Weng praised Lin Ming's words "Heart Stone". In order to show their familiarity and informality, they both addressed each other by words. Yang Shiyi cupped his hands and said, "These are two patent medicines that are specially designed to treat heat, filth, and evils."
"I heard about it... It seems that Fangzong is not all polite about changing the salary," Doctor Liu said to Yang Run. "I saved a beggar. Is this the only medicine I should use?"
"Exactly." Liu San replied, secretly thinking that Jin Yiwei's information was really well-informed. They knew clearly that there were quarrels and fights on the street. "They used Zhuge Xingjun San."
"Zhuge's army dispersed?" Lin Ming asked, "Is this the recipe left by Marquis Wu?"
In this time and space, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has become a well-known best-seller, and Zhuge Liang's name is also well-known to everyone. There is quite a bit of celebrity effect.
Liu San smiled and said: "This is based on an ancient prescription that reduces and increases the compatibility. It comes from the combination. The ancient prescription said that this was "left by Wu Hou", so I just ignored it.
"That's it. But this medicine is wonderful. It is extremely useful. Lin Ming nodded repeatedly. Liu San's treatment of beggars in Yang Run was reported to Jinyiwei as social news that day. He was very interested in this heat-removing medicine. Although Jinyiwei It sounds majestic, and it can be domineering in Foshan, but the nature of the work means that they often have to travel outside for official duties, and many colleagues die from fatigue and heatstroke due to infection on the road. If you can have this kind of patent medicine, carry it with you. Wouldn’t it be possible to be highly praised by bosses and colleagues?
How could Liu San and others not see what he was thinking? Fortunately, in order to open up the market for the medicine this time, Liu San specially made a lot of samples. Now the samples were distributed to everyone at the table.
Li Luoyou asked, "Why are there two types? One is to avoid the plague and the other is to be Wuhou Xingjun powder. Are both of them cold medicines?"
Liu San smiled and said: "Actually, the efficacy of Biyu Powder is not as good as that of Xingjun Powder. Several valuable medicinal materials have been subtracted from it, and some cooling and refreshing spices have been added. Although the effect is not as good, the advantage is that it is cheap and can be used by everyone. It's considered a good deed
"That's it." Li Luoyou nodded and picked some "Biwen Powder" with his fingernails. When he inhaled it, a cool smell went straight to his nose, and his mind suddenly became clear.
Look at the introduction on the back of the small porcelain bottle. It says "Secret Made by Lingao Runshitang". Li Luoyou was stunned for a moment. Is this pharmacy from Lingao?
Because he is an Australian, he is somewhat sensitive to Lingao. Take a closer look at Shopkeeper Yang and Doctor Liu. There is nothing wrong with their dress and behavior. Are they just ordinary businessmen in Lingao? Shopkeeper Yang didn't talk about him, he was from the same clan as Yang Shixiang. The only one left is Liu San.
"Doctor Liu," he said tentatively, "are you opening a pharmacy in Lingao?"
Liu San said calmly, "Runshitang is brother Shixiang's property." I just took a step out of the box. "
"That's it. Li Luoyou said that he had already concluded that Liu San and Dongzhu Guo, whom he had met before, were in the same group. They spoke Mandarin with a strange pronunciation, and they were definitely not Ming Dynasty people.
With such a ready-made Australian in front of him, Li Luo couldn't help but look carefully. He suddenly realized that the man in front of him was actually not very old, although he had three strands of beard. The person should be less than thirty years old. He has a gentle complexion, a strong body, bright eyes, and dark and rough hands. It seems that he has done some farm work. It is really difficult to understand this kind of person.
However, his medicine is very useful. Li Luoyou had the most dealings with medicinal material dealers because of his selling of ginseng and deer root. Have some knowledge of medicinal properties and pharmacology. These two medicines are safe medicines that can be kept on hand in summer. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather becomes hotter every day, which is the day when summer medicines sell well.
At that moment, he decided to buy a batch. This transaction would ensure a profit without losing any money, and it would also allow Lin Baihu to see his love.
"Shopkeeper Yang, I want 3,000 boxes of the anti-beast powder and 500 boxes of Zhuge Xingjun powder. I don't know when we can deliver it?"
Neither Liu San nor Yang Shixiang expected that he would ask for goods on the spot. Yang Shixiang thought for a while: "One month."
"Okay, just one in a month. Where can I pick up the goods then?"
Yang Shiyi quickly stepped in: "I, Yang Runkaitang, will sell Runshitang's patent medicine on behalf of me. Mr. Li will just come directly to our store to pick up the goods."
"Then there's Brother Lao." Yang Shixiang smiled and thanked him.
"We are all brothers, that's how it should be." Yang Shiyi pretended to be "brothers of one mind"
After the banquet was over, Lin Ming was very satisfied. Both Li Luoyou and Yang Shiyi had given him respect and received this useful summer medicine. He asked someone to go outside and order some boxes, preparing to use the summer medicine to give gifts.
When Liu San and others returned to the lower place, Yang Shixiang was very happy: "I didn't expect that shopkeeper Yang would be so generous." He glanced at Liu San and said, "Old Liu, I didn't expect you and Jin Yiwei to have a friendship.
Liu San was unhappy. The last thing he wanted to provoke was that Jinyi Weiyi himself was confused. Since this Qianqian is a family member of Jin Yiwei, most of the so-called "relatives" are also from this group. I brought her here in such a daze. Fortunately, Lin Baihu seemed to be quite upright and not a treacherous person. ! ~!
