Chapter 283 Buying Medicinal Materials
The drug dealer who was originally supposed to supply the pharmacy arrived soon.
The person who came was a fat middle-aged man. He seemed to be in a hurry. When he saw Su Tang, his fat body was still panting.
"Huh..." The fat middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead with the handkerchief in his hand, and then carefully raised his eyes to look at Su Tang who was sitting at the table in front of him.
He knew that the person sitting in front of him was the eldest princess of the dynasty. After all, she was an old businessman with many years of experience, so she knew who the owner of each shop was.
When he learned that the owner of the shop, which had been converted into a drugstore, wanted to see him today, he became nervous.
Although this shop still sells products with the word "medicine" in their names, it is no longer a serious medicine business. Therefore, not only have the types of medicines purchased decreased, but the quantities are also pitifully small.
The drug dealer was also confused when he was called here this time.
Su Tang had a faint smile on her face as she looked at the fat man standing with his head down, "Boss Liu, right? Dongmei, show Boss Liu a seat."
"Yes, Boss Liu, please sit here." Dongmei raised her hand and pointed to a chair on the left. Boss Liu, who was suddenly called by his name, was shocked and looked up at Dongmei.
In the early days, when this shop was a medicine shop, he and this girl named Dongmei handled many things, so they were quite familiar with each other.
Boss Liu nodded, responded in a low voice, then turned and sat down on the chair Dongmei pointed to.
"Boss Liu, don't be so reserved. I called you here this time just to ask what medicinal herbs you have on hand and how many they are."
Boss Liu nodded, and once again raised his eyes to secretly glance at Su Tang, but he quickly lowered his head to look at his boots and said, "I still have a lot of medicinal materials in my hand. The harvest of medicinal herbs this year is good. The medicinal fields in many places are over-producing, so I have a lot of herbs stored here this year. You know, if I don’t take the herbs from the farmers and still collect according to last year’s quantity, the herbs in their hands will rot in their hands. After all, although these farmers know how to dry the herbs, they have no place to store them. When the herbs are damp, they will mold..."
Boss Liu hung his head and muttered for a long time. In the silent room, the only sound was his nagging.
Suddenly, as if he remembered that he had said too much, Boss Liu looked up at Su Tang opposite him awkwardly, but then he realized that it was inappropriate to look directly at the princess, so he lowered his head again.
Su Tang just watched Boss Liu's funny actions with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
Listening to what Boss Liu just said, Su Tang knew that he was a kind person. It was rare for someone who had been in business for many years to have such a pure and kind character. After all, the business world was not much cleaner than the court. Anyone who could make it in the business world had to have some scheming and means.
Su Tang doesn't hate this kind of people. After all, businessmen are profit-driven, and those who only think about doing good deeds cannot survive in the business world.
But Su Tang appreciates people who can keep a heart that cares about the herbal farmers.
"Hehe..." Su Tang chuckled a few times, and then spoke again: "Boss Liu, don't be nervous. I asked you about the medicinal materials, and I also want to buy some herbs from you."
Hearing that there was business to discuss, Boss Liu immediately perked up. He half raised his head but didn't dare to look directly into Su Tang's eyes. He asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, what kind of herbs do you want, and what's the approximate quantity?"
Su Tang raised her chin slightly, motioning Dongmei beside her to help her answer.
Dongmei nodded. "The herbs we need here are mainly for treating injuries from falls. Of course, we also need some herbs for treating internal injuries..."
Dongmei and Boss Liu then started to have a detailed conversation. Since he was talking to Dongmei, whom he was familiar with, Boss Liu was obviously much more relaxed.
From time to time, the two of them would discuss louder, and Su Tang would listen nearby and add a few words from time to time.
Finally, Su Tang ordered a lot of medicinal herbs from Boss Liu, accounting for almost 90% of Boss Liu's current inventory.
Boss Liu didn't expect that he would sign such a large order today. He rubbed his hands with joy, "Haha, I didn't expect you to order so many herbs today. After the herbs are delivered, I will go out to look for herbs again."
"Well, if the quality of the herbs you provide is not a problem, we will order herbs from you every year in the future. The amount of herbs I need each year will only be more than the amount ordered this time."
Anyway, Su Tang has her own space, so she doesn’t have to worry about the storage of medicinal herbs no matter how many she orders. Instead, she can put all the medicinal herbs in her space to better ensure their quality.
After all, everything you put in there will be kept fresh.
"This... Hahaha, okay, okay, thank you very much." Boss Liu was stunned for a moment after hearing Su Tang's words, then he reacted and suddenly knelt down towards Su Tang, and kowtowed heavily on the ground.
The banging sound made Su Tang and Dong Mei's teeth hurt.
This guy is so stupid!
Perhaps the collision was too severe, for when Boss Liu looked up again, there was an obvious redness and swelling on his forehead.
"Well, when you go out, people who don't know you might think someone in our store bullied you." Su Tang joked with a smile.
"How could that be? If someone asks, I will just say that I hit my head against a pillar in my house." Boss Liu replied with a smile.
Boss Liu promised to transport the medicinal materials stored outside Kyoto tomorrow.
"No need for that. From now on, the medicinal herbs will be shipped directly to Meizhuang in the suburbs of Beijing. It's my private property." Su Tang didn't want people in Kyoto to know that she collected a large amount of medicinal herbs on a daily basis.
Who knows if anyone will make a fuss about this.
"As for the medicinal herbs you purchase in the future, you can take them directly to Dahe Village in Huangyan Mountain. There is a valley over there and give them to Mr. Tian or Mr. Su there."
"Yes, I've made a note of it. If we send it there, we can save the cost of going to Beijing." Boss Liu said happily.
Finally, Boss Liu signed a long-term ordering agreement with Dongmei. Of course, the agreement stated that the quality of the medicinal materials provided by Boss Liu must be guaranteed, otherwise Su Tang and his team would not accept them.
Dongmei saw Boss Liu off, and Su Tang was also preparing to go back.
"After the medicinal materials are delivered to the farm, let Mr. Wen check them. If there are no problems, send them to southern Xinjiang immediately." The medicinal materials that Su Tang bought were also prepared for the Qi family army.
"Yes." Dongmei agreed.
After Qi Lingheng and his men went out to the battle, letters would be sent back to the Prince of Qi's Palace every few days.
Su Tang will also read the letter and then write a reply.
Days like this aren't boring at all.
During this period, the capital was as peaceful as ever, as if no one was aware of the foreign invasion.
