yes.
Ning Wuyang had no doubts about this.
There are many people like this who hate his good deeds, but it is rare to see someone like Zhou An who likes to shoot himself in the foot.
"He can come if he wants to. If no one says otherwise, it will look like we are just asking for help."
Ning Wuyang is so confident.
Shen Youchu became more confident in making money by opening an ice drink shop.
Quickly ask Ju Xiang to write the invitation and make sure Zhou An arrives on time.
Swish swish swish.
The rain fell more and more intensively.
When the raindrops in front of the bamboo hat finally turned into thin lines, blocking the view, Ning Wuhuang asked everyone to stop sowing and go indoors to work.
Fifty thousand bottles of perfume are in full swing after the supply of flowers is sufficient.
At present, 25,000 bottles have been produced and are still standing.
The remaining 25,000 bottles must be completed in at least the next round of production.
According to time calculation, Zhou Jingxian's 10,000 bottles will be ready for delivery in half a month.
"I don't have much time left."
Early the next morning.
Ning Wuyan opened the bottle cap and poured a spoonful of toilet water onto the back of his hand.
"Still need some heat."
It seems that leaving it alone for one day will not work.
He resealed it and prepared to dry it for another day to see the effect.
It was still an intermittent rainy day.
There is nothing to do but plant seeds wherever possible.
Thinking about the "medicine" in my mind, I became more and more anxious.
The entire day did not produce the expected results.
The second day.
Ning Wuyan sent some more helpers to nearby villages to inquire about the former flower boss.
The results were not satisfactory.
Because the flower boss likes to play with exotic flowers and plants, and he especially likes the novel flowers and plants from the Western Regions.
Therefore, two flower farmers from the Western Regions were specially invited to manage and record the growth of those flowers and plants.
Later, something happened to the flower boss. The two flower farmers didn't wait for the officers and soldiers to come, packed up their belongings and ran away. They probably committed something, but they couldn't find them when they tried to find them.
However, a few villagers heard him inquiring about these things and took the initiative to mention that they had worked as coolies in the flower fields. However, they could not read a single person at the time, and they were growing flowers and plants they had never seen before, so they could not even give them names. Come.
"Auntie, do you remember that when you went to water the plants, did you ever encounter flowers and plants that smelled particularly pungent?"
Ning Wuyan was sitting in the pergola picking mint leaves while asking about the situation.
The village woman stopped what she was doing, and after thinking seriously for a while, she picked up the mint grass in front of her.
"I only remember that this kind of grass tastes rather pungent, but I don't remember the rest."
"Why don't you remember? There is a kind of flower that blooms with small funnel-shaped light red flowers. The smell is also very pungent. Many people say that after smelling it for a long time, they sometimes can't sleep at night."
An aunt next to me couldn't help but interrupt.
Ning Wuyang heard the characteristics of the flowers and plants she mentioned, which were similar to what he was looking for, and was about to ask what kind of flowers and plants they were.
The aunt who said she didn't remember before suddenly slapped her thigh: "Yes! Yes! That kind of flowering grass is even more annoying, but it doesn't come from the Western Regions. It's the seeds that the boss in front bought from the south. That kind of flower grass It needs more moisture and likes a warm place, so I planted it in a sunny place near a stream.”
The aunt pointed to the place where Ning Wuyan had sown mint before.
"Boss Ning, go two miles south and see if there are any of those flowers and plants. They got sick in the summer last year. After the leaves curled up, the boss in front thought they couldn't save them, so he threw them over there and never used them again. Take care of it.”
What? !
Ning Wuyan didn't expect that the thing he was looking for was far away and right in front of him.
"Thank you, ma'am. I'll go look for it right now."
He didn't care that the rain was getting heavier, so he put on his raincoat and walked south along yesterday's mountain road in the rain.
When I walked to the sunny hillside near the water source that the aunt pointed out, I saw dazzling green setaria and wild vegetables everywhere. There were no flowers and plants with small light red flowers.
He reluctantly pulled out a piece of foxtail grass. Apart from pieces of wet mud, there was nothing he was looking for.
But he didn't give up either.
When the sky turned gloomy and more than half an acre of grass was pulled out, but no similar leaf could be found, Ning Wuyan shouted angrily towards the valley.
"What a waste of natural resources!"
If nothing else, he should have found the right one.
But none was found.
Now that the flower farmer has packed up and ran away, he can't be found, and the hope of finding the manager is also slim. There is only this one clue in the whole of Jinling. What should we do?
Ning Wuyang squatted on the ground, looking at the rainy valley, his mind went blank.
"Master Ning, it's time for dinner."
It wasn't until Shen Youchu's voice came from behind that he woke up suddenly and realized that it was already dark.
And Yun Fei, who was standing behind him in a raincoat, seemed to be integrated into the grove, which made him realize that his consciousness had been depressed for a long time.
Of course, he had no intention of blaming himself and internalizing himself.
It’s just a fate that twists people’s minds. Even though victory is in sight, it’s still hard work.
He couldn't help but wonder if Zhou An was a member of the royal family and was unlucky, which made this matter so unsatisfactory.
"Pooh!"
Ning Wuyang wiped the rain off his face and spat on the ground.
Luck is very important, but the more important thing about many things is that everything depends on man-made things, and man can win over nature!
And he is only one step away from that "medicine", and he must not fall just one step away from victory.
"Master Ning..."
After Shen Youchu approached with an oil-paper umbrella, he quickly took the two umbrellas from Mei Xiang and stuffed them into the hands of the master and the servant.
"I've been looking for you in the village for a long time but couldn't find you. I didn't expect you to come to sow seeds in the rain again."
I'm not here to sow seeds, I'm here to pull weeds.
Ning Wuyang retorted in his mind rather depressedly, thinking that Shen Youchu was usually more clever, so he told him about his difficulties at this time.
"Miss Shen, is there any good way to find someone?"
"Looking for someone? Why are you looking for someone? Mr. Ning, aren't you looking for that kind of grass with small flowers?"
yes.
That’s why I need to find someone.
Just as Ning Wuyang was thinking this, he saw Shen Youchu tilting his head and thinking for a moment. Seeing that he was silent and didn't even open the umbrella, he tilted the oil-paper umbrella in his hand over his head.
"Actually, I think Mr. Ning, you are overkill. Finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. And if you find someone, you may not be able to find the flowers and plants you want. It would be better to find out who the supplier is."
"Didn't you say that the previous boss was searched? There should be files in the government office. It may be difficult for others to borrow them for inspection. If you tell Magistrate Jiang, will he still not let you search?"
One word awakens the dreamer.
Ning Wuyang slapped his forehead in annoyance.
It was because he was a little stubborn and too anxious to get the results, but he forgot to trace the source.
Some things are easier to deal with at the source.
"Thank you, Miss Shen, I will go find Mr. Jiang now..."
"Mr. Ning, it's already dark now, and it's raining and the road is so slippery. Mr. Jiang has been dealing with the placement of wounded soldiers and the village school recently. I wonder if he is in the government office."
Shen Youchu quickly stopped him.
"Anyway, we also sent an invitation to Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang replied that he would join in the fun. He just wanted to examine the prospects of Jinling's new ice drink industry and whether it needs government support. You can talk to Mr. Jiang about this when the time comes. Isn’t it okay?”
Only then did Ning Wuyan remember that the date for the boat trip to the lake was set for tomorrow afternoon.
Some things get slower the more urgent they are, and it is indeed not less than half a day.
but.
At this moment, he looked up at the night sky where rain kept falling, and he couldn't help but feel new sorrow.
"If it rains tomorrow, maybe Zhou An's wish will come true, and the ice drink shop will get a cold reception."
