133 Exception
Manager Qin was startled. He smiled. “I almost forgot about that… I will be out there soon!”
Manager Qin turned to Xie Jingrong and said, “Young Master Xie, Young Master Shao and his wife should be of great help for you. They live in the countryside, and often go into the mountains. They have brought numerous good things to us.”
Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao were startled.
Since Manager Qin said so, he must have gotten many excellent things from the couple but did not want to share those. Xie Jingrong said, “Okay, in this case, let’s bring them in here.”
“That is exactly what I mean.” Manager Qin chuckled and asked his employee to get the couple in.
The employee answered and felt emotional. The couple was so lucky as to have come over at the moment. If the couple managed to help Young Master Xie with even a small thing, they would have no worries in their future life.
No worries ever!
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, who heard that the manager had already got the seeds for them, were so happy that they decided to buy them and leave quickly.
In this way, they could take a look in the market, buy some food and go home soon.
But the manager had something else in store for them…
When they came to the back hall, all four guests were startled.
“Cultivated Talent Shao, Second Miss of Qiao, what are you doing here?” Yuezheng Xiao’s eyes widened in surprise.
Shao Yunduan smiled and greeted them. “This is quite coincidental! Sorry for the interruption…”
“No, no, it is no bother.” Yuezheng Xiao smiled. “I did not expect that Manager Qin meant you two!”
Manager Qin could not help but smile as well. “Since you are all friends, then we can save a lot of trouble. Please, take your seats!”
“Yes!”
They exchanged greetings and sat down.
Manager Qin started the conversation.
Soon, Shao Yunduan turned speechless. “Young Master Xie, you are seeking a Chinese fleeceflower root over 500 years old…”
“Yes.” Xie Jingrong said, “I don’t know much about this county, so I came to the pharmacy to see if there are any contacts that can be used. Manager Qin suggests that you can help, so please, I would like you to help me, and if the deal is done, I will pay you a great amount as compensation.”
Pharmacies had their own sources of medical herbs. Some were planted inside the pharmacies, or cultivated by medical farmers or imported by herb businessmen.
For ordinary medicinal materials, if a villager got five or four kgs and sold them in a medical store, they would not accept such small things since they had to process the materials, and the volume would be too small for processing.
They would not want to do that.
But there was always an exception.
If rare medical materials were brought to the door, the pharmacies would accept that readily.
Some pharmacies would even entrust experienced old hunters and farmers who knew about the mountains to seek rare things.
That was why Xie Jingrong came to Mingren Tang.
Xie Jingrong was very much respected by people around because he came to the door personally and treated the manager politely, despite being a man from a highly noble family.
Shao Yunduan replied politely. “Thanks Young Master Xie, we can definitely help you if we have the chance. But a Chinese fleeceflower root over 500 years old can be difficult to find.”
Xie Jingrong smiled and sighed. “I know, just do your best, that would be enough.”
