Chapter 40 Boss Yu from the capital
An An's expression was so serious that Ji Youyi couldn't help but feel a little cold.
She said tactfully: "An'an, you are really smart, you know how to speak according to the situation."
After the mother and son said something, Ji Youyi got up and went to the kitchen to make lunch. After all the fuss, it was already past lunch time, so she could only make simple meals.
I washed some vegetables, boiled water in a large pot, put in the noodles, added some salt and boiled them, then added the vegetables, scooped a spoonful of lard into the small pot and added it to the noodles, and the aroma of the vegetables immediately came out.
Simple yet delicious.
Zhao Zhuang hurried back from the city. He didn't eat breakfast and helped Yaoyuan with a lot of things, so he was very hungry. Now he could eat a bowl of white porridge, not to mention Ji Youyi's craftsmanship.
There were four people at the table, and he ate the most delicious food.
Although An An also thinks that her mother's craftsmanship is very good, she always thinks that Zhao Zhuang's performance is too exaggerated and seems to be acting.
"Uncle Zhao, what you are eating is too exaggerated."
Zhao Zhuang snorted and drank half the bowl in one mouthful. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he said, "I'm really hungry. Youyi's cooking is so delicious. I'll have another bowl later."
"It's okay, Brother Zhao, there's still more in the pot, feel free to eat."
Ji Youyi doesn't believe in eating and sleeping without speaking. She always feels that talking at the dinner table can enhance feelings.
Zhao Zhuang raised the bowl and took another big mouthful. The bowl full of noodles quickly reached the bottom.
Seeing this, Ji Youyi stretched out her hand to give him more noodles. Zhao Zhuang was embarrassed and took back the bowl, "I'll go by myself."
Zhao Zhuang brought back another bowl, and this time he began to eat slowly, talking about the medicinal wine while eating.
"Youyi, I gave Boss Yu a taste of your medicinal wine, and Boss Yu was very satisfied. Boss Yu is the wealthy businessman I told you before."
"Brother Zhao, do you know the origin of this boss Yu?"
"This." Zhao Zhuang put down the bowl, touched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "I didn't ask in detail, but he introduced himself that he was from the capital, and his surname was Yu. As for how to write this character, I don't know.
"
Doctor Liu raised his eyebrows, "There is indeed an imperial merchant named Yu in the capital. I just don't know if they are the same person."
Ji Youyi was curious, "Master, do you know?"
Doctor Liu looked slightly proud, put down his bowl and chopsticks, touched his mustache, and prepared to educate them. "The surname Yu comes from Yu the Great. He settled in the capital less than a hundred years ago. Because he once had the merit of following the dragon, he has always been the emperor."
The business is very big and spread all over the country, but I haven’t heard of them selling wine?”
Zhao Zhuang didn't take it seriously, "Maybe they are planning to start a new business? Don't all rich men just want to make more money?"
Ji Youyi also thinks so. It doesn't matter whether you have done this kind of business before. Now is the time to do it.
"Master, do you know this person from the Yu family?"
"The Yu family has many properties and branches. I can't recognize them all. If someone is an acquaintance, it's hard for me to show up to them."
Doctor Liu was timid and didn't want to talk about this. It would be really embarrassing if the old guys from before knew that he was selling aphrodisiac wine."
Ji Youyi didn't realize what he was thinking, and said happily: "If we are an acquaintance of the master, will it be easier for us to do business?"
If someone can help, she will be happy.
Zhao Zhuang thought so too, and echoed: "Yes, Doctor Liu, yesterday Boss Yu just tasted it, and I haven't said anything about it yet. I'm just planning to come back and ask you. Why don't you follow me into the city?"
Let’s go and talk about it in detail?”
Doctor Liu quickly refused, "I have something to do tomorrow and I don't have time. Let Youyi dress up as a woman."
This was the plan that was made at that time, and to come up with it again at this time is not to waste the previous preparations.
Ji Youyi noticed something strange at this time and asked doubtfully: "Master, didn't you just come back, why are you busy again?"
"We need to purchase medicinal materials for the medicine garden. I will be away for half a month and will leave in the afternoon. You can take care of it yourself."
He ate in a hurry and put down his bowls and chopsticks before going back to the house, intending to pack up and leave.
Ji Youyi was puzzled. She had just come back, so why was she going out? Although some of the distant medicinal materials were indeed out of stock, there was no need to be in such a hurry, right?
Zhao Zhuang didn't notice anything strange. He finished the noodles in the bowl in a few mouthfuls and asked, "Youyi, what do you think about the medicinal wine?"
Ji Youyi thought that it would be easier to do it herself, and the preparations she had made before would not be wasted.
"Brother Zhao, let's do this. I will take An An and the tools and wait for you in the bullpen tomorrow. Then we will go to the city to find a place to change clothes, and then go to meet that boss Yu."
"Why bother? You can just change it at home." Zhao Zhuang asked doubtfully.
Ji Youyi explained: "Everyone in this village knows everyone. If a stranger suddenly appears, it is easy for others to pry."
Indeed, the village is so big that everyone can't see each other without looking up. In less than half a day, the whole village knows about the comings and goings of every household.
If a stranger comes to the village, Muramasa will definitely ask questions, which can easily cause trouble.
Zhao Zhuang said clearly: "You are still thoughtful, Youyi, then it's settled, it's settled. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Ji Youyi packed up the dishes and sent people out of the yard. When she returned to the house, Doctor Liu happened to be carrying his luggage and going out.
She stared in disbelief, "No way, master, do you really want to go out?"
"What's the matter, do you still think I told you lies?" Dr. Liu blew his beard and said angrily: "I said I'm going to get out, so I'm going to get out."
She originally thought that the old man had something to hide, but she didn't expect it to come true.
"Master, if you have something that's hard to say, it doesn't matter. I'll just pretend I don't know. Don't really run away from home."
"Go, go, go." Doctor Liu dodged her pull and said with disgust, "You also know how much stock of medicinal materials there is. What's wrong with me going out to purchase?"
Although his reason was legitimate, Ji Youyi still felt that something was wrong, "But the medicinal materials are also available in the city. Are you going to go out for half a month?"
Doctor Liu carried his luggage and walked towards the door, "Those things in the city are expensive and of poor quality. Can they be compared with the ones I bring back from outside? Okay, okay, take a good look while I'm away."
Home, don't cause any trouble for me."
Ji Youyi followed step by step, always a little worried. "Master, you are old, so I don't worry about going out. Why don't you give me the address where you collect the medicinal materials, and I will collect them for you."
"No, no, I can still meet old friends when I go out this time. Just take care of your house."
Doctor Liu did not look back and waved to Ji Youyi to stay.
Ji Youyi stood at the door of the hospital and watched Doctor Liu leave with a sigh. The old man left, but the matters in the medicine garden still had to be dealt with.
