Chapter 61 Medicinal Herbs Reserve (Knock the Bowl
After Li Yincheng went to college, his family bought a new house with the money from the lottery, and had been renovated and moved there. Although his father said the address in detail on the phone, when he was about to go, Li Yincheng really didn't know how to leave. He carefully recalled the address mentioned on his father's phone. Half an hour later, Li Yincheng finally found his new home.
This building should have been completed last year and looks very new. Li Yincheng walked to the third floor and rang the doorbell. There were couplets congratulating the housewarming on the door. "Who is here, here you are here." My mother's voice came from the room.
"Mom, I'm back." Li Yincheng's nose felt a little sore when he opened the door and saw his mother.
"I don't say hello in advance when I'm back." My mother smiled on her face, but she complained, and took Li Yincheng into the room, "This is your room. Put down the things first, are you hungry? I'll cook for you."
Li Yincheng quickly refused, "I'm not hungry, wait for my dad to come back and have a meal."
During dinner in the evening, my father asked about school for a long time and repeatedly told him to study hard. My mother asked him with concern if he had ever had a girlfriend at school. Li Yincheng quickly refused and said no. When he heard that his mother was not happy, he urged him to find someone who was suitable, as if he was a reporter holding a grandson.
Li Yincheng was a little overwhelmed by the saying. After a few meals, he ran out on the pretext of an appointment with his classmates. He walked out from home and went to the Internet cafe.
The third brother had sharp eyes. He saw it as soon as he pushed the door and came in. He immediately stood up from the computer and punched Li Yincheng on the shoulder with a light punch, "When will I come back?"
"I just came back today, how is the business?" Li Yincheng waved his hand and refused the cigarette handed over by his third brother.
"It's great, I'll show you the account book later!" The third brother was about to go to the cashier to get the account book.
"No, my dad just saw it." Li Yincheng saw the Internet cafe full of seats, and the cashier was crowded with people waiting to get on the plane. Internet cafes in this era are indeed huge profits!
"Okay, you wanted to look for me that day." The third brother pulled up someone from the computer next to him, "Look at who this is?"
"Oh, isn't this Wang Xi? Why did you have long hair? I almost recognized you!" Li Yincheng looked at the young man with long hair in front of him in surprise. Wang Xi was his junior high school deskmate and went to another place when he was in high school.
"Hey, I'm not transferring to painting if I can't go to high school and I can't study. Today I went to college and saw that if you don't have long hair, you are embarrassed to tell people that you are from the Academy of Fine Arts! There is no way to stay with them." After not seeing each other for many years, both of them were particularly happy.
"Let's go, stop surfing the Internet, go out and find a place to have barbecue; we have not seen each other for more than three years." The third brother greeted the cashier and took them out.
When we arrived at the barbecue stall, the third brother ordered a bunch of barbecue and ordered a beer. The three of them drank and chatted. From Wang Xi, he learned that he had transferred to another place in junior high school. When he was in the second year of high school, he found that he could not get into college, so he went on to study art under the arrangement of his family. Fortunately, he was quite talented in this area and had no effort to get into the art academy in the provincial capital. The third brother and Li Yincheng also talked about the situation in recent years.
When I came back on the first day, I was not going to stay outside for too long. At around nine o'clock, Li Yincheng got up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he made an appointment with his third brother to buy some Chinese medicine tomorrow.
The next morning, Li Yincheng went to the Internet cafe to find the third brother. The two went out to the pharmacy to buy medicine together, "What are you planning to buy medicine? Do you have to make up for it if you work too much there?" The third brother started talking nonsense again.
Li Yincheng thought about it last night that the epidemic must not be spread randomly, so he made a statement about the excuse he had thought of last night, "I have a classmate in my dormitory. His family is in the Chinese medicine business, so I asked me to help collect some medicinal materials."
The third brother nodded to show that he understood and took him to the Chinese medicine store. One of his younger brother's uncles works here. An acquaintance was convenient for him. Li Yincheng quickly bought all the medicines he wanted, honeysuckle and isatis root, two medicines that were snatched from next year's epidemic. He also bought several large bags of other astragalus, salami ginseng, aquaticum, and atractylodes. In addition, some isatis root powders and other patent medicines.
"Didn't you say that his family is in the traditional Chinese medicine business? Why do you buy the finished medicine?" The third brother felt the problem.
"Oh, he asked me to collect some patent medicines and go back to analyze them. I heard that the ingredients of pharmaceutical ingredients in various places are slightly different. His family is on the coast and I want to find some research in the north." Li Yincheng was about to be unable to continue editing.
When the third brother heard what he said, although he thought it was unreasonable, he guessed that some things he had inconvenient to say, so he did not ask, but just kindly reminded him, "This is a lot of money, don't be cheated."
After the last tidying up, the medicinal materials I bought today were packed with several sacks, and the two of them must be unable to carry them. The third brother went out and called a tricycle, "Take it back to your house?"
Li Yincheng thought about it and asked his parents again if he put it at his home. The reason he just told the third brother was definitely not deceived them. In fact, the third brother didn't believe it, but he just understood that he didn't want to pursue it. "Do you have any place to store it? It's best to be dry and cool, and there are no places where no one usually goes."
The third brother thought about it, "There is no one to go to my ancestral house normally, and there is an attic that seems to meet your requirements."
"Let's go, take it over and take a look first." It seemed quite appropriate to hear what he said.
The tricycles were piled up high, and the two of them sat on the edge of the back of the tricycle and headed to the third brother's ancestral house outside the city. Thirty minutes later, they arrived at the valley ground at the door of the third brother's ancestral house. After paying the money, the driver unloaded the medicinal materials at the door and left.
Third brother's ancestral house is quite spacious. The yard of about 300 square meters is surrounded by a wall. The wall is more than two meters high and the wall is covered with glass. Ordinary children cannot get in. There are two door knockers hanging on the big mahogany door, which looks quite strong. This place is good. It should be safe to put it here, right? "I didn't see that your family is from a landlord!"
Speaking of this, the third brother suddenly became radiant, "That's right, my family used to be the largest landlord in our county. This half of the county is our property, and there are several shops in the provincial capital. If it were in ancient times, I would be the eldest master of the landlord's family, carrying a few dog legs all day, carrying a bird cage and holding a dog. If I saw a girl on the street, I would go up **."
"Young master, should we open the door first and I'll go in and see if the place is suitable?" Li Yincheng interrupted the third brother's YY.
The third brother took out the key and opened the yard door. There was a small garden when he entered. There was a grape planted on one side and a small pool on the other side, which was raising several lotus flowers.
I walked through the garden and came to the main hall. On the wall to the north of the house was an altar with ancestral tablets. The third brother pretended to be a few bows, and then took Li Yincheng along the wooden staircase to the attic. The attic was empty, and several ropes were hanging from the roof. It was probably used to hang things before.
Li Yincheng walked around the attic for a few times. It was sunny in the south, and the attic would not get damp. This place is quite suitable, so there is only one last question left, "This is pretty good, I just don't know if there are any mice?"
The third brother laughed and picked up several hat-shaped items from the ground. "Where did you see this? Use a rope to hang the sack in the air, and then cover it on the top of the sack. The mouse could not reach the sack from below, and followed the rope from above and then was separated by this position where the sack was not blocked. It was very safe."
The two went downstairs and spent half a day to drag bags of medicinal materials to the attic, then hung them in the air with a rope and covered their hats. Li Yincheng sat on the chair in the main hall and looked at the sacks swaying in the air. With these next year, I would tell my family that they should try to go out as little as possible. Anyway, in my memory, there were no cases in this small county town in my previous life.
When he went back, Li Yincheng was still a little worried. He took some samples and went to the pharmacy with three to buy a few packs of medicinal materials. This time the quantity was relatively small, so the family should not have too many questions.
