Chapter 122
On the surface, the dinner for both guests and hosts lasted until the moon was high, and there was no spare room at home, so Xiaoruo didn't invite Liu Tingyun to stay overnight.

In Xiaozhao's eagerly looking forward eyes, Liu Tingyun regretted going home.

After seeing off the guests, the Xiao family cleaned up the mess together.

Xiao Zhao picked up the rag and wiped the small dining table carefully, while Xiao Ruo picked up the rice and vegetable dregs that he had dusted off with a basin.

Looking at his younger brother's slender lines, Xiao Ruo said, "Zhao Zhao, don't you like Liu Tingyun? If you don't want to date him, then we won't have any contact with him."

She could see that Xiaozhao was a little bored at the dinner table just now, but she didn't ask directly because of politeness.

Unexpectedly, the eldest sister would say that suddenly, Xiao Zhao wiped her hand on the table, and asked, "Why did sister suddenly mention this?"

"I think you didn't seem very happy just now. Liu Tingyun is from the Liu family, the richest man in Qinzhou, right? I just remembered when he reported his family just now." Xiao Ruo took the rag from Xiao Zhao's hand and continued to wipe the table.

"Wealthy people don't necessarily have the same temperament as us. If you don't feel comfortable getting along with him, then we will pretend that we don't know him. We won't go to the flower viewing conference either."

The premise of her kindness to Liu Tingyun is that Liu Tingyun is regarded as a friend in Xiaozhao's place. If Xiaozhao forced a smile on his face to make friends he doesn't like for the sake of his own happiness, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

"Sister..." Xiao Zhao lowered his head, his eyes were hot, "Actually...Liu Tingyun is quite a nice person...I'm just not used to it..."

From Liu Tingyun rescued him in Qinzhou to now taking him to the literati banquet, Liu Tingyun has done a lot for him, of course he has noticed it all, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved.

He's just not used to being cared about by people outside Xiao's family, planning for him...

"As long as you think he's fine, go and wash the rag." After wiping the table, Xiaoruo picked up the wooden basin to take out the trash.

Losing her parents at a young age still had a great impact on Xiaozhao Xiaoyou. Even though she tried her best to make up for this lack in these years, it was still not as good as her parents' constant teaching and care for her children.

Xiaoruo knows that Xiaozhao's character of not being close to others is not natural, she hopes that someone can approach her brother's dry inner world, and take him to appreciate the vastness of the world and the boundlessness of life.

The whole family worked together, and the dinner table was cleared up in less than a quarter of an hour. After letting the old and the young rest earlier, Xiaoruo had time to talk to Xiaoxun about the news from the day.

Hearing Xiaoruo say that the cage-carrying boy might have been sent to Wen Lichun by a man called Ying Lang, Xiaoxun asked, "Did you see that Ying Lang today?"

Perhaps Ying Lang was the vine they could touch, and if they followed the vine, they would be able to know the origin of the boy in the cage and the whereabouts of the other people that Ren Yazi took away at that time.

Xiaoruo shook her head and said, "I think Mrs. Luzhu's house is grand and luxurious, but the location is deserted and quiet. It seems that it was specially built to avoid people. I'm afraid Shang Lvzhu and Wen Lichun are both Yinglang's red apricots outside the wall. .”

To be able to have several beautiful beauties in Yingzhou at the same time, and to provide them with food and clothing, and to spend so much that it is unimaginable, this Yinglang is either rich or expensive, and his strength cannot be underestimated.

Such a man is not something ordinary people can see if they want to.

In the end, after discussing with each other, the two decided that Xiaoruo would continue to follow Mrs. Green Bamboo's line, seize the opportunity and go to her house to see if there is any chance to meet Ying Lang. All follow-up plans will wait until Ying Lang meets Then, make plans.

The days passed by like running water, I wonder if it was because Ying Lang didn't go to Shanglvzhu, the reason why the Cordyceps hadn't been consumed yet, and Xiaoruo didn't ask Xiaoruo to deliver them to the door.

Although the largest member has no consumption, the income of the Xinli Cordyceps Store is getting richer and richer, and the daily turnover can be seen in the account.

The most important thing in Yingzhou is rich people. Eight hundred cordyceps are not treasures in the eyes of rich people.

Even if you can't eat it as a meal material like Mrs. Green Bamboo's Ying Lang, you can consume one or two sticks every now and then, and the top-grade Cordyceps fungus is still affordable.

Xinli Cordyceps has become a hot tonic in Yingzhou.

The shopkeeper Cao of Cao's Pharmacy feels very sad recently. Today is the time for the accountant to report the monthly income for the month. Every time the accountant reports a number, he frowns.

"This month, 560 stone frogs were sold, 230 less than last month."

"This month's deer antler sells for seven catties and sixty-two four dollars, which is ten catties less than last month."

"This month's cold food is on sale..."

The more he listened to it, the more annoying he became, so the treasurer Cao simply told the accountant not to read, and reported the total amount of money directly.

The accountant wet his fingers with saliva, turned to the last page of the booklet, and read: "This month's income is 200 taels of silver, which is 8000 taels less than last month."

Snapped!Shopkeeper Cao couldn't help smashing the teacup in his hand, "It's nearly [-]% missing!"

He took a few deep breaths before he managed to suppress the rage in his heart, "Is it because of the newly opened Cordyceps store in Dongshi?!"

The accountant is an old gentleman who has been with him for decades, and he is not afraid of him at all, and still calmly said: "Yes, our pharmacy mainly sells tonics, and the Cordyceps sold in that shop is also a tonic, and many customers have given up. For our family’s stuff, I went over there to buy supplements.”

Shopkeeper Cao had only heard from others that the products of Xinli Cordyceps might affect his family's business, but he was very confident in his family's decades-old reputation. Who in Yingzhou didn't know his Cao's Pharmacy?

As soon as this month's accounts came out, he clearly realized how much Xinli Cordyceps had affected his family's business.

Unconsciously turning the rosary in his hand, shopkeeper Cao's mind turned quickly.

We can't let Xinli Cordyceps continue to develop like this. This month, we only lost [-]% of our income. What about next month?What about next month?How long can Cao's Pharmacy last in this situation?
No, he can't sit still like this!

With a roll of his eyes, shopkeeper Cao asked the old accountant to go down first, and then recruited the most clever boy, and gave instructions by ear.

The boy nodded as he listened, and when shopkeeper Cao finished his plan, he immediately started to prepare.

In the afternoon of that day, Cao's servants found three thugs in the most crowded place in West City, and asked them to go to the Xinli Cordyceps Specialty Store in East City to buy a high-grade Cordyceps.

After buying the Cordyceps, the three gangsters will come to Cao's Pharmacy to take the medicine. After taking the medicine, the three of them will suffer from abdominal pains. Then they will go to the Xinli Cordyceps Specialty Store and insist that the Cordyceps is poisonous.

"This... the pill you mentioned won't cause any problems, right? It will only cause stomach pain after taking it, and there won't be any other problems, right?" One of the gangsters couldn't help asking again.

He just wanted to make some money, but he didn't want to be really poisoned.

Cao's young man comforted him: "Don't worry, I have been in Cao's pharmacy for so many years, and I have never missed the medicine. The pills will only make your stomach hurt. This is also for the sake of being more realistic! When things are done, our shopkeeper will definitely reward you!"

Thinking of the decades-old reputation of Cao's Pharmacy, the three gangsters decided to accept the sale.
