Chapter 123 Departure for Ganzhou
Chapter 123 Departure for Ganzhou
The next morning, Xue Jing and Si Heng came to Qin's house.
Xun Dong did not go out today. He personally brought Xue Jing and the others to the living room of the house and served them tea.
When Qin Ruo led Zhou Dazhu into the living room, Zhou Dazhu was both nervous and excited.
He tugged at his new clothes, walked forward and greeted Xue Jing and Si Heng respectfully.
"Meet Master Xue and Master Si."
Si Heng leaned lazily on the armchair, nodded at Zhou Dazhui, and said no more.
"Why call me Mr. Xue? Just call me Brother Xue from now on. Don't be nervous, I'm not a cannibal. Dazhu, just feel free to follow me and enjoy the food and drinks." Xue Jing stood up and patted Zhou Dazhu's shoulder with a smile.
Although they had only met twice, Xue Jing had a hunch that Qin Ruo was someone with extraordinary background.
Therefore, when Qin Ruo asked him to take someone out to broaden his horizons, he agreed without hesitation, just as a favor.
"Xue, Brother Xue." Zhou Dazhu immediately changed his words.
Si Heng calmly turned the teacup in his hand, looking at Qin Ruo who was chatting and laughing with Xue Jing beside him, feeling uncomfortable.
It was not until last night that he found out that Qin Ruo had asked Xue Jing to help take the men out for a trip to broaden their horizons.
What made Si Heng unhappy was that he was the one who knew Qin Ruo first, so why did she prefer to look for Xue Jing instead of him?
You can do things like this yourself.
Not to mention Ganzhou, even taking a trip to the capital city is fine; it’s not a big deal.
Qin Ruo didn't think much about Si Heng when she saw him. She just thought that he followed her to Qin's house because he had nothing to do and wanted to come over to take a look.
After a cup of tea, she took Xue Jing directly to the warehouse at the back where the goods were loaded.
This time she prepared 200 kilograms of peppers, 300 kilograms of cucumbers, about 200 kilograms of tomatoes, 30 kilograms of Sichuan peppercorns, and a total of 200 kilograms of strawberries and pineapples for Xue Jing.
Each item was contained in wooden boxes and bamboo frames and stacked in layers. Qin Ruo also did not forget to keep these items fresh.
The preservation methods are based on modern methods and combined with existing ancient materials.
Xue Jing looked at the neatly stacked boxes in front of him with his eyes shining. He could already imagine that the huge amount of silver would soon be deposited into his account.
"Ms. Qin, you are indeed a straightforward person. I, Xue, would like to thank you." Xue Jingchao bowed sincerely.
He doesn't care where things come from.
It's Qin Ruo's ability to come up with these things.
After counting the items, Xue Jing readily handed over the silver notes.
He asked the servants to wait outside Qin's house and come over immediately to load the goods.
These are all fresh ingredients. He doesn't want to waste even a moment and wishes he could reach Ganzhou in one day.
The nobles and wealthy people have very high requirements for food ingredients.
This new thing was something he had never seen before in all his years of traveling around the country, but the first time he saw it was a few days ago at Xie's house.
You can imagine how crazy it will be when it is really taken out.
Although the prices of these things are not cheap, Xue Jing is not worried at all that this batch of ingredients will be lost in his hands.
After loading the goods, Xue Jing did not stay for a moment. He took Zhou Dazhu and followed the carriage of the "Xue" caravan and headed straight for Ganzhou.
Qin Ruo watched Xue Jing and his group leave, and only when the caravan disappeared from her sight did she slowly withdraw her gaze.
The departure of Xue Jing and Zhou Dazhu officially marked the beginning of Qin Ruo's glory in this dynasty.
"Miss Qin, actually you can just let me arrange small matters like this. There's no need to use that young man Xue Jing at all." Si Heng stood at the door of Qin's house with an awkward expression.
"We are partners after all. If you want to train new people, I have an obligation to share the burden, right?"
Si Heng added another sentence in a serious tone.
"Why is Mr. Si so idle recently? Are you going to Ganzhou too?" Qin Ruo glanced at Si Heng and always felt that this person was weird.
The reason why she handed Zhou Dazhu over to Xue Jing was because she was impressed by Xue Jing's straightforwardness and business skills.
If Zhou Dazhui goes out with them, he will definitely gain a lot. So what's the point of letting Si Heng arrange it?
"It's not impossible..."
"Come on, take care of yourself first. Come with me." Qin Ruo interrupted him and couldn't help rolling her eyes in her heart.
I am still a sickly person, what kind of care do I have?
This person is just arrogant and cannot be spoiled.
When the two returned to the living room, Old Lady Qin greeted Qin Zimu and automatically left.
Now the grandfather and grandson also knew that Si Heng was Qin Ruo's partner. Seeing that the two seemed to be discussing something, they consciously withdrew.
Qin Tiaotiao originally wanted to stay, but Qin Ruo ordered Xun Dong to take him away.
It’s time to put on the agenda what we promised Madam Xie.
"Stretch out your hand..." After Si Heng sat down, Qin Ruo did not beat around the bush and prepared to take Si Heng's pulse.
"What?" Si Heng didn't react for a moment, with question marks all over his face.
"Take the pulse!" Qin Ruo said concisely.
Si Heng finally came to his senses. Madam Xie had told him about this matter in advance, but he didn't take it seriously.
He knew his own physical condition best. He did not hold much hope for Qin Ruo, but only wanted to fulfill Madam Xie's wish.
He slowly placed his hands on the table and pulled up his wide sleeves, revealing an overly white wrist.
Si Heng pretended to be calm and tilted his head slightly to one side.
When Qin Ruo placed three fingers on his pulse, Si Heng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he could even hear his own "thumping" heartbeat.
At this moment, the tips of his ears were quietly stained with a faint red.
Why is your pulse beating so fast?
Qin Ruo frowned, wondering if it was possible that the poison in his body had just taken effect?
But it doesn’t look like this.
She turned her head to look at Si Heng, and saw his bright red ears, and burst out laughing.
"Mr. Si, it's just a pulse check. Why are you so nervous? Female doctors don't differentiate between men and women. You don't have to be nervous."
Qin Ruo was really a little uncomfortable with the ancients' thoughts at this moment.
Si Heng came back to his senses and coughed twice a little embarrassedly to cover up his embarrassment.
"Who is nervous? I'm just a little hot." In order to prove what he said, he fanned himself with his other hand.
Is it hot? Why can't I feel hot?
Qin Ruo began to doubt herself. Could it be that her physique was even worse than that of a person who was poisoned?
She stopped those random thoughts and began to take the patient's pulse carefully.
"Bone-eating powder? It's a cold poison... It seems your enemy is powerful. This poison doesn't look unusual on weekdays, but when it takes effect, the cold air will spread to your limbs and bones will ache all over your body as if they were being broken inch by inch. You are really a tough guy to survive so many attacks of the poison."
Qin Ruo looked at Si Heng with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.
His health was in far worse condition than what Madam Xie had said. It was severely damaged and he could be said to be at the end of his strength.
Tsk! Tsk! Turns out he's a short-lived ghost.
