Chapter 2220: The Eight-Nation Allied Forces Are Coming
"Second Grandma, I have to tell you well, the young master's family is in Anguo and Yingkou this time, but it has brought honor to our Baicao Hall!" Second Master Tu announced the good news as soon as he came up.
"You two have worked hard this time, don't worry, there is already food inside, let's talk while eating." Even though he was praising his children, Bai Wenshi calmly took them in first, and they were working for Baicao Hall After going out for so long, you must eat something good when you come back, right? After bringing everyone in, a table full of food was served, and only then did they start talking about their going out.
"I have seen the medicinal materials sent back earlier, and they are indeed high-quality medicinal materials, especially Coptis chinensis. The shopkeeper said that the top-notch Coptis chinensis from Eastern Sichuan is rare, and the rare ones are all from the North Shore. You two It's been hard work this time, I offer you a toast." Bai Wenshi's way of dealing with people is really speechless.
"Hey, it's the credit of the two of us. It's the Young Master's good eyesight and clever means." Only then did Second Master Tu start talking about Shen Long's actions in Anguo and Yingkou.
Hearing that Shen Long could still keep the price down, Bai Wenshi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, this is the way to do long-term business. You can't just look at the eyes. If you set the price this time If the pressure is too low, maybe this company will go bankrupt. When the replacement of Huanglian comes to Anguo next year, who will dare to deal with our Baicao Hall again? The most important thing in business is to have a good reputation. Jing Qi, can you think so far? , it can be regarded as not reading such a long time in vain."
For his purchase of old mountain ginseng at a high price, Bai Wenshi also praised him a lot, and kept picking up vegetables for him at the dinner table, but Shen Long could clearly feel that although there was a smile on Bai Wenshi's face, there was a smile on his face. But there was a touch of melancholy that couldn't be resolved, thinking of everything he saw when he came to the city, Shen Long finally understood.
Hey, the current situation is tense, the Boxers are already in trouble, the streets are full of talismans to invite the gods, and they are looking for trouble with foreigners everywhere, and there is Bai Yingyu Bai Sanye who believes in foreign religions in Baicao Hall .
Even Bai Yufen, who was married to Shandong, came back, "Shandong was rioting in riots, but I went to Beijing to hide, good guy, Beijing is more noisy than Shandong!"
Bai Wenshi sighed, "The Boxers burned down the Xishiku church and killed foreigners. Are they Germans? Or British? They also surrounded Jiaomin Lane. Look, Jingqi, this is the tonic that Yufen brought to you. .”
Bai Wenshi opened a large paper bag, inside was "long glue", Bai Yufen introduced, ""This is 'long glue', which is very popular in Jinan Prefecture, boiled donkey skin, and added medicine, it is a great tonic. "
"Thank you sister, I also prepared some things for you. I originally said that someone would bring them to you, but now it will save trouble!" Shen Long also divided the gifts brought back among everyone.
Bai Yingxuan looked carefully at the inkstone in his hand, and said with emotion, "Look at Jing Qi,
I brought him a hundred taels of silver, probably not willing to spend a penny, and bought everything for everyone. This kid has grown up... Hey, this is a good inkstone! It looks like it's from the Ming Dynasty, so I have to put it away! "
"Jing Qi, it stands to reason that you should take a good rest after running outside for so long, but you have seen that the capital is in a mess, and the streets are full of foreigners looking for foreigners, even those who believe in foreign religions. But, your third uncle hasn't come home for several days, why don't you go out and look for him after dinner?" Bai Wenshi said.
"Sure, I'll go out now." Shen Long finished the meal in twos and hurried out. He was still thinking about his wife, but Huang Chun was still in the church.
Going straight to the church, I found Bai Yingyu, Huang Chun, and Father Rong Huashi behind the bushes near the church. It turns out that he is a foreigner.
Helped Bai Yingyu to find a place to hide Father Rong Huashi first. When running halfway, Shen Long signaled to Huang Chun to let her find a place to hide first. Bai Yingyu put Huang Chun in the church. An's good intentions just let Huang Chun take this opportunity to get rid of his control.
When they reached a safe place, Father Rong solemnly thanked Bai Yingyu, "Master Bai, I will never forget your friendship!"
Bai Yingyu waved his hand, "Don't be polite to me, I just ask you one thing! Take my son Jing Wu abroad to study abroad."
Father Rong assured, "This matter is on me, I can go to any country! England, France, Italy, I have many friends!"
"Third Uncle, you should go back as soon as you have made arrangements. I am so anxious that I can't find you at home. Huang Chun disappeared on the way. I have to go back to find her!" Shen Long said and left first.
After he came out, he found Huang Chun. He didn't put Huang Chun in the small garden of Bai's house, it was all in his own place. How could Bai Yingyu not know who was hiding there? He drilled around in the alley and found the place where Ji Zongbu was hiding. Ji Zongbu was very surprised to see him. Shen Long entrusted Huang Chun to him, "Mr. Ji, you have to hide my wife." Well, don't let anyone find out."
"Who is your daughter-in-law!" Huang Chun blushed a lot, but his heart was flattered.
"This girl is good, you can't let her down! With me here, you can rest assured! Now that there is chaos outside, you should go back quickly so that your family members don't worry!" Ji Zongbu started to chase people away without saying a few words.
"I'm leaving now! By the way, Mr. Ji, this is the old ginseng I bought in Yingkou. You take it, if there is an emergency, it can save your life!" Shen Long stuffed a wild ginseng to Ji Zongbu, and ordered Huang Chun said a few words before leaving and going home.
Back home, Bai Yufen was ready to leave. She originally came to the capital to take refuge, but she didn't expect the capital to be more chaotic than Shandong, so she should hurry back while she can still go. Shen Long didn't keep her. It is the most chaotic place, but Shandong is actually safer.
After seeing off Bai Yufen, everyone was a little tired, Bai Wenshi urged Shen Long to go back to sleep, but Shen Long pulled Bai Wenshi into the room, and whispered to her, "I just saw Mr. Ji on the road! Mr. Ji told me that foreigners are going to attack the capital soon, so let our family quickly pack up and go to Xi'an to avoid disaster!"
"Ah?" Mr. Ji is a capable person. He has stayed abroad and been in the military aircraft department. Bai Wenshi was very worried about the current situation. Hearing what Mr. Ji said, he couldn't sit still, "Other things are okay, There are so many fine materials in the medicine storehouse that you can’t take them away, you have to leave someone at home to watch over them!”
"I might as well stay." Shen Long took the initiative to invite Ying, he still wanted to make a big fuss in the capital.
