Chapter 51: Another opportunity

Shang Zhi turned around and put all the money on her back, feeling light. She usually took an hour to go to the town, and she arrived in more than half an hour.

Seeing that it was still early, she planned to find Xue Shenzhi and let him have time to return the eight taels of silver to Qin Boyan.

When I was bypassing Qinghe Street, I smelled a wonton scent.

Shang Zhi then remembered that he had forgotten to eat breakfast this morning. He smelled the scent of food and was so hungry that he was roaring.

She followed the fragrance and found the wonton stall, which happened to be in the corner diagonally opposite Qinghe Academy. The stall was not big, with only two tables, one of which sat for two people.

"Give me a bowl of wontons." Shang Zhi sat down at another empty table.

The boss's wife acted quickly and put dozens of wontons into the pot.

Shang Zhi brought a teapot and poured a cup of tea and drank it. The two of them were talking behind him.

"I haven't seen you recently. I'll call you to go to a tavern for a few drinks. My sister-in-law said you're so busy that you're not touching the ground. Have you encountered good things?" The man in a long blue cloth robe asked the thin tall young man beside him.

The young man was full of bitterness, "Don't mention it. The master didn't know where he heard that the former Minister of Personnel Zeng Bingyan retired and returned to his hometown to recuperate, so he asked our brothers to run errands to find him. You said that the person was in Qinghe Town. He searched for him for ten days and half a month, but he didn't see him. Could it be that the person had returned to Beijing long ago?"

"No, right? Such an adult will be alarmed when he returns to Danzhou Prefecture. I know many people. Tell me what Mr. Zeng looks like. I'll ask someone to find it."

"I heard that I left Beijing quietly, and it didn't shock people." The young man sipped a few sips of soup, describing Zeng Bingyan, "He was silver-white and thin... Fuck, the old man looked like this, but I heard that he liked to make some flowers and plants, and he carried a bird cage in his hand to walk the birds. I don't know anything else."

The man laughed after slamming the table, "You won't stare at the old man walking the birds, are you?"

"Go and go! Brother is going to work hard, I'll treat this to you." The young man left the copper coins and hurriedly left.

Shang Zhi listened to their conversation and his mind moved slightly.

The former Minister of Personnel Zeng Bingyan had an impression. Old Man Zhang once mentioned his deeds. After Shang Zhi received his memory, he only had a vague impression. Two men mentioned him, and the memory of him came to his mind clearly.

Zeng Bingyan retired eight years ago. His eldest son had a great political achievements and replaced him. He retired to the mountains and forests, but his influence in the court was still very great. His life was ups and downs and was considered a legendary figure. He was 20 years old and was annoyed by the emperor because he refused Princess Shang to anger the emperor and sent him to anger at the evil land of his country. He improved people's livelihood, solved strange cases and had excellent political achievements. In the third year of Jiayuan, he was transferred back to the capital to serve as a doctor in Wenxuan.

In the sixth year of Jiayuan, he was promoted to Guangluqing. He had a straightforward temperament and had a contrary political opinion to the emperor. He often argued with reason and was demoted four times. In the eighteenth year of Jiayuan, he was summoned to serve as the Minister of Personnel and retired in the second year of Yuan and Jin.

Shang Zhi was amazed at his tongue. Zeng Bingyan was considered a big shot. Old Man Zhang said that his temper was as stinky as the stones in the toilet, and he was stinky and hard. He offended many people, and was demoted and was naturally taken into slander. In the end, he was able to become a minister of the Shang Dynasty, which shows his means and ability.

Such a person is in Qinghe Town... Shang Zhi laughed, what does this kind of person have to do with her?

After eating wontons, I left with a basket, and was suddenly stopped.

"Miscellaneous Doctor? Are you the goddess Doctor in Huichun Pavilion?" The owner of the wonton stall saw Shang Zhi carrying a bamboo basket on his back and felt familiar, "You saved the big bull in Huichun Pavilion?"

Shang Zhi then recognized the woman, and she smiled and said, "It's just a matter of raising hands."

Guo quickly returned the copper plate to Shang Zhi and said gratefully: "Benefactor, you saved Daniu and refused to accept the medical fee. If I accept your money, I will be heartless."

Shang Zhi refused to take it back, "It's not easy for you to make a living. I can't hold on to my life-saving grace to eat for nothing. This is what I, a doctor, should do."

Guo was holding the copper plate and was at a loss. Seeing that the head of the family came back with flowers and plants, she called out loudly: "Head of the family, you came just right, this is your benefactor to save you. Last time you were in a critical condition, we didn't thank her well. Did you come back from the village, but did you bring mountain goods? Take some mountain goods for your benefactor to try it out."

The big bull carried a basket full of mountain goods. He walked over and placed the flowers in his hand on the ground, "having hunted a lot of wild goods, and half a bamboo basket of mushrooms." He took out the small bamboo basket and divided some for Shangzhi.

Shang Zhi looked at the several peonies on the ground and hung four or five flower buds. Her eyes lit up and she squatted down to identify them carefully.

The plant is upright, the branches are thin and hard, the buds are round and pointed, the mouth is shaped, and the leaves are round, which is Yao Huang!

One of the four famous peony products.

She quickly stopped Daniu's movements and asked, "Do you sell this money?"

When Daniu was hunting wild goods on the mountain, he saw that the flower was beautiful and planned to dig it back and set up a stall to sell it on Huahui Street. When he saw Shangzhi liked it, he said honestly: "I plan to dig it up and sell it. If my benefactor likes it, I will give it to you. Anyway, it won't be sold for a lot of money."

Shang Zhi shook his head. This is a wild Yao Huang. His quality is a little worse than Wei Zi, but it is also valuable.

"This is Yao Huang, one of the four famous peony products. It is not an unknown wild flower. How much money do you plan to sell?"

Daniu and Guo did not understand flowers at all, but seeing Shang Zhi's serious expression, she also understood her character and would not be favored for nothing. The couple looked at him and stretched out four fingers, "Benefactor, we will sell five taels of silver to give you a little cheaper, four taels?"

After saying that, I was uneasy, afraid that the price would be raised.

Shang Zhi sighed lightly, the old man’s one is worth twenty taels, this one is almost the same. When he meets a man who cherishes flowers, he can even sell his silver for fifteen taels.

She wanted to pay more money, but there was no extra money on her body. After a long silence, Guo felt even more uneasy. She wanted to speak, but when she saw Shang Zhi take out five taels of silver and say a conservative price. "Your peony is worth ten taels of silver. I don't have so much money, I will give you five taels of silver. I will use the recipe to pay for it."

"No, no need!" The couple did not expect a flower to be sold at such a high price. They were not happy at all, but instead were panicked. "If the benefactor had not told its origin, we might have sold it at a low price for dozens of copper coins. Five taels of silver... enough!"

They were telling the truth, but Shang Zhi didn't like to take advantage of others. She looked at a girl of four or five years old, wearing patched clothes, knelt on a bench to wipe the table, and decided to teach them how to make noodles.

How to knead noodles, ramen, and make sauces. One more choice is better than a single wonton.

Guo learned seriously, and Shang Zhi taught her step by step to make a bowl of noodles. The time was too short and the sauce was not perfect enough. It was a little bit poor in taste, but it looked very delicious in Guo's opinion.

She ignored Shang Zhi's rejection and took some mushrooms, a pheasant and rabbit for her, "I just bought wontons here. The customer said that eating this kind of tasty all day long. If you teach me how to make noodles, the business will definitely be better than before. They are all students in the academy and have little demands on food. What you make is too delicious. Although I can't compare, I will definitely get better and better!"

Guo thought very well. Shang Zhi was a good person. She refused to take advantage of her and used her skills to pay for the money. Even if the noodles were not sold, she still received Shang Zhi's intention.

A wild flower got five taels of silver, and she also made money!

Shang Zhi recycled things, and the couple was honest and simple, and lived a poor life but knew how to be grateful. She traveled over and suffered. Seeing the child who was a few years old was helping with the work, she couldn't help but help.

After all this trouble, it was already the time to agree with Gao. She gave up seeing Xue Shenzhi and went directly to Huichun Medical Center.

Just as I walked into the alley, I was blocked by two tall, fierce and vicious men. "Little lady, leave the flowers and silver, otherwise don't blame us for being polite!"
