The space boss's daily life of raising cubs, loving husbands and farming

Chapter 115 Huge Profits

She stood up, put the milk bottle on the small stool, walked over, and asked directly: "What happened?"

"My lady." Lu Chengjing grabbed Shang Wan's hand, frowned and complained, "Someone wants to scam me."

It was Shang Wan who taught him the term "pengci".

"Bumping into someone?" Shang Wan raised his eyebrows with interest. "Who?"

Lu Chengjing explained in detail the pink-dressed girl's strange behavior, and emphasized, "I reacted quickly, and she didn't even touch the corner of my clothes."

His expression was full of confidence, yet it also concealed a sense of grievance.

Shang Wan: “…”

This fox likes to pretend more and more in front of her.

"It's okay if you encounter it, let's make new clothes." Shang Wan pinched his ear with amusement, "Everyone loves beauty."

But falling for the beauty she raised is another matter.

On the second day, Shang Wan specifically asked Lu Chengjing to go around the village alone to conduct a fishing expedition.

Lu Chengjing was reluctant, so Shang Wan bent down and kissed him on the face and forehead, making his face blush. Only then did he go obediently.

However, Liu Yuzhi did not show up.

On the third day, the same sting operation was carried out, but Liu Yuzhi still did not show up.

On the fourth day, Shang Wan went into the city to sell medicinal herbs and saw the Lin family's donkey cart.

The driver was Lin Jianshan, and Liu Yuzhi was the only one sitting on the donkey cart.

Neither of them saw Shang Wan.

When Shang Wan heard that Lin Jianshan was going to take Liu Yuzhi to buy new clothes, Liu Yuzhi was very happy.

The donkey cart drove around the corner and disappeared. Shang Wan also regained his composure and stopped the cart with the herbs in front of a drug store.

She looked at the plaque carefully and found that there was no Lu family emblem on it.

Shang Wan brought with him the medicinal herbs that the pharmacy always had in stock. The quantity of each herb was almost the same. After the pharmacy owner checked them, he gave a fair price.

Shang Wan didn’t go to a second store and went straight to this one.

He earned three taels and seven cents of silver from less than half a truckload of medicinal materials, which was a huge profit.

"Boss, do you sell fresh herbs here?"

"Yes." The shopkeeper told his staff to store the herbs in the warehouse, and said, "Fresh herbs still need to be processed, so they are naturally not as expensive as processed herbs."

Shang Wan nodded and took the opportunity to learn about the market prices of herbs and medicinal materials from the shopkeeper.

I originally thought that if the difference wasn't that big, I could just sell the herbs directly, but I never expected that the difference was quite significant.

However, after some time of processing, the price of medicinal materials is actually two to five times more expensive than herbal medicine.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "If you have more herbs to sell in the future, feel free to come and buy them. My prices may not be the highest, but they are definitely fair."

Shang Wan asked curiously, "Boss, I see your store is not that big, why do you collect so many medicinal herbs?"

"This is nothing new," said the shopkeeper. "A war is about to break out at the border, and the court has ordered the collection of medicinal materials. We are not too far away, so these medicinal materials are naturally in great demand."

He handed Shang Wan a list, "These are all urgently needed medicinal herbs. If you have any at home, you can sell them for a good price."

Shang Wan took a quick look and thought, very good, he only recognized two words.

It seems that I have to learn to read as soon as possible.

She thanked the shopkeeper and drove the ox cart around the city, buying some things that were missing at home.

Passing by a small restaurant, Shang Wan saw the Lin family's donkey cart.

She tilted her head to look inside and through the window saw that Liu Yuzhi had changed into a new set of clothes, still pink.

It seems that this girl particularly prefers pink.

Shang Wan sighed, and after listening for a while without hearing any useful information, he drove away in the ox cart.

I spent ten copper coins to learn about the Lu family's recent movements from the gossipmonger.

Lu Chengyuan was seriously injured and is recuperating at home. He has not yet gone to Beijing.

Mrs. Lu went to Qingchi Temple every few days.

Because of the grain-raising issue, the Lu family had severely offended the local gentry, and many businesses in the city were affected. Mr. Lu was extremely busy every day.

We have offered several rounds of apologies, but those gentry are too angry and have no intention of stopping.

In the end, I don’t know what method Lu Chengyuan came up with, but he sent a letter to each of the gentry’s houses, and those gentry stopped behaving the next day.

Shang Wan asked curiously, "What letter?"

Bao Da Ting looked around and whispered mysteriously, "It is said that it is related to an important figure in the capital. As for what is specifically written in the letter, I don't know."

Big man?

Could it be the uncle who works as an official in the Ministry of Personnel?

Shang Wan was still guessing and waved his hand to let Bao Da Ting leave.

Before leaving, Bao Da Ting did not forget to advertise that he had the most complete information and asked Shang Wan to come back to him next time.

Shang Wan was driving the ox cart home and just arrived at the village entrance, he saw Liu supporting an old woman who looked familiar and looking around at the village entrance.

Seeing Shang Wan coming, the two of them blocked the entrance to the village, as if they didn't see the ox cart.

Shang Wan glanced at the two of them, raised his hand and patted the ox on its back, "Let's go."

The ox kicked its hooves and dragged the cart towards the two people.

The two of them never expected that Shang Wan would let the bull hit them, so they panicked and dodged in a hurry.

Wei was so angry that she yelled, "You little whore! Do you want to kill me?"

"Aren't you still breathing?" Shang Wan glanced at her, his eyes full of murderous intent falling on her, "Considering your old age and frailty, I'll let go of the one curse you just gave me. If you curse me again in the future, think about whether you are strong enough to live."

In fact, under normal circumstances, she is quite willing to respect the elderly and love the young.

"You - ah!" Wei had never experienced Shang Wan's strength and wanted to scold him again. Liu hurriedly covered her mouth. Although she hated Shang Wan in her heart, she could not deny that Shang Wan could really beat them both.

Shang Wanduo glanced at Liu, and suddenly asked, "Aunt, is this your relative?"

Shang Wan suddenly spoke to her, and Liu actually felt a little flattered.

Before she could react, she nodded, "It's my mother, and she came with my niece, whose maiden name is Yuzhi."

"Oh, my niece's name is very nice." Shang Wan sighed and asked, "Aunt is waiting for someone at the entrance of the village?"

Liu couldn't figure out why Shang Wan asked these questions, so she said vaguely, "Yes, yes, waiting for someone."

"Aunt, please wait patiently. I have something else to do at home. I will go back first."

Shang Wan said this and drove away in the ox cart.

Looking at the ox cart going further and further away, Liu frowned. Could it be that this Shang man has changed his personality?

"Why are you covering my mouth? You should have asked me to scold her to death just now!" Wei scolded her daughter in dissatisfaction, "She was about to hit us with the ox cart, why are you still talking to her in a nice voice?"

Liu listened to her mother's teachings and didn't understand why.

She smiled and said, "Mom, calm down. I'll help you sit over there."

"Why are you sitting?" Wei felt that nothing was going well and took it out on Liu.

Liu had no choice but to listen and obey.

On the other side, Shang Wan met Liangliang who was returning home on the way.

After Li Xiaoshan's repeated invitations, the child has become familiar with the children in the village and often plays with them around the village.

With Li Xiaoshan, the leader of the kids, watching over him, he never got bullied.

"Liangliang, get in." Shang Wan stopped the ox cart and greeted him.

Liangliang smiled shyly, climbed up by grabbing the wooden rack, and sat next to Shang Wan.

Shang Wan asked gently, "What did you play today?"

"A lot." Liangliang counted the games he played today on his fingers, his voice filled with joy.

Shang Wan listened patiently.

Liangliang paused, turned to look at her, pursed his lips and whispered, "Aunt, I heard something from Erpang."
