In just a short while, half of the vegetables in the truck were sold out.

Xu Wenyan sorted out the copper coins he received and said, "Brother Chen, you stay here. I have to go out for a while."

Now I have to go to the blacksmith to make the iron square box. Fortunately, I didn’t waste too much time in the morning.

After explaining some details to the blacksmith, Xu Wenyan paid the deposit and prepared to leave.

As soon as I walked out of the blacksmith shop, I saw a huge army coming towards me.

In the middle of the army were two sedan chairs, either carrying the county magistrate or new officials.

Xu Wenyan stepped aside and looked at the young man in the sedan chair.

It was at this moment that the young man and Xu Wenyan looked at each other.

"stop."

Lin Zhengjie got down from the sedan chair and walked straight towards Xu Wenyan.

"Are you Shopkeeper Xu?" Lin Zhengjie's face was full of joy when he saw Xu Wenyan.

"Oh my god! Are you that little scholar?"

The more he looked at the man in front of him, the more familiar he looked. Wasn't he the scholar who had promoted Xu Wenyan when he first set up his stall?

This is truly fate.

"How dare you! This is the top scholar from the capital! What a little scholar." Magistrate Lu also got off the car.

Hearing Xu Wenyan's speech, he said sternly.

Lin Zhengjie ignored him and continued to talk to Xu Wenyan: "Manager Xu, why did you come here to do business? We haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"

The champion?

Xu Wenyan was really surprised again and again. The top scholar who came to Lan County was the scholar who used to eat noodles! !

What a coincidence. What a coincidence.

"Are you really in high school?" Xu Wenyan was also sincerely happy for him.

He knows very well how difficult it is to go to high school, which shows that this young scholar is indeed a talented person.

"I have to thank Shopkeeper Xu for his company. I have always kept that bowl of free noodles in my heart."

The two exchanged pleasantries.

Magistrate Lu on the side couldn't help but be a little surprised. Lin Zhengjie had been in a bad mood since he came here, so why did he smile like this when he saw the man in front of him?

"Come on, Manager Xu, come to my house. I will definitely compensate Manager Xu for this banquet."

Xu Wenyan didn't expect that this young scholar, now that he had become the top scholar, still remained humble.

This inevitably gave Xu Wenyan some favorable impression.

What he hates most is people who bully others and are ungrateful.

Xu Wenyan couldn't refuse the invitation from the top scholar: "You should be busy now, so it's not convenient for me to go now."

"It's convenient. It's just a normal inspection." Lin Zhengjie turned his head. It was indeed a bit inappropriate to leave halfway through the inspection: "Then, Manager Xu will come to the county magistrate's mansion to find me in half an hour."

"You must come."

After saying that, Lin Zhengjie got into the sedan chair. After he left, many people talked about Xu Wenyan.

Ordinary people in this era are already afraid of officials, let alone in such a relatively sensitive area.

Xu Wenyan watched the army walk away and arrived at the pharmacy without staying for long.

Doctor Hong is also at the counter today.

When Doctor Hong saw Xu Wenyan, his tense face relaxed: "Oh, Brother Chen, you are finally here."

The batch of goods he had arrived a few days ago, but Xu Wenyan never came.

He was really afraid that such a large amount of sulfur would fall into his hands.

"What's wrong with Doctor Hong? You're so nervous." Xu Wenyan joked with a smile.

"What you want is already here. It's in the backyard."

"it is good."

Xu Wenyan responded, then followed Doctor Hong to the backyard.

The sulfur was brought in in wooden boxes.

The fact that so many goods could be transported in at this time only shows that this doctor has a special identity.

Otherwise, Xu Wenyan can only collect it in nearby cities, which will take a lot of time.

Xu Wenyan checked all six large wooden boxes and found no problem with the quality of the sulfur inside.

Xu Wenyan took out 150 taels from his pocket and said, "Doctor Hong, please send me a few more trucks. This is the deposit."

Doctor Hong frowned and looked at Xu Wenyan: "No, Brother Chen, this amount of sulfur is already enough. What kind of business are you doing that requires so much?"

Looking at the implication of his words, how could Xu Wenyan not understand that he felt there was profit to be made and wanted to get some bottom line from Xu Wenyan.

“Hehe.” Xu Wenyan looked at Doctor Hong with a playful smile: “I can only do this business by myself, which is actually almost the same.

"Doctor Hong, you have already made 10% of the profit by helping me transport it. Are you trying to take the blame from me?"

"Cough cough."

Doctor Hong coughed awkwardly after his thoughts were exposed: "It's a little difficult to handle now, Brother Chen, please wait a month before coming back.

There should only be two cars.”

"Okay, I'll wait for good news from Doctor Hong."

After leaving the pharmacy, Xu Wenyan was thinking about finding more Cordyceps next year.

Even if you don't get the money, it would be great to use it to exchange for medicinal materials.

Also, let’s see when I can contact Wang Zeren. I haven’t seen those kids at home for half a year.

Xu Wenyan really missed them a little, and didn't know how they were doing with Wang Zeren.

Anyway, he would definitely not abuse them. He just left in a hurry without even saying goodbye.

I just don't know if these guys will hate him in the future.

Go back to Uncle Mulati.

Chen Sanlin has sold out all the remaining dishes.

"Wife." He handed all the money he received to Xu Wenyan. There were a few small changes in it, and the rest were copper coins.

It feels heavy in the hand.

"Wow, my brother Chen is so awesome, he's already sold out."

Chen Sanlin scratched his head: "It's not that great, Aunt Mai Li has already prepared the food, let's go in."

Speaking of eating, Xu Wenyan just thought of it, little scholar, no, now he should be called the top scholar.

Xu Wenyan told Chen Sanlin about his encounter with the scholar.

“I didn’t expect that he really went to high school.” Thinking of this, Chen Sanlin couldn’t help but smile: “I still remember when I first went out to set up a stall.

I'm not good at talking and I can't shout, it's you who's been busy all the time."

Xu Wenyan patted Chen Sanlin on the shoulder and said, "What's the big deal? I'll take care of the outside affairs, and you'll take care of the inside affairs. We're both the best."

Although what Xu Wenyan said made sense, Chen Sanlin always felt something was strange.

After saying something to Uncle Mulati.

The two of them asked along the way and arrived at the county government office.

The people at the gate of the county government recognized Xu Wenyan at a glance.

"Manager Xu, right? Please come in."

The layout of the county government here is actually similar to that of Feng County. When entering the lobby, Lin Zhengjie was still flipping through the documents he was talking about.

"Manager Xu. You're here!"

Lin Zhengjie came over enthusiastically: "Brother Chen, how are you?"

Chen Sanlin nodded to Lin Zhengjie.

Without saying a few words, Lin Zhengjie invited the two into his room. After the three of them sat down, the dishes began to be served one after another.

"Manager Xu, we haven't seen each other for a long time. After high school, I went back and found that you were no longer in Feng County."

“Your new store tastes great too.”

"Haha, I should call you Lord Lin now." Xu Wenyan raised his glass: "Then I would like to congratulate Lord Lin again for passing the exam."

Lin Zhengjie picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

For the next half hour, Lin Zhengjie told Xu Wenyan about his high school journey.

And why came to Lan County.

"Mr. Lin has great ambitions, and I really admire him."

Lin Zhengjie paused and said, "Manager Xu, I was just looking at your file. This matter..."

Xu Wenyan also knew that this day would come. If he was recognized by Lin Zhengjie, then the fake name Chen Pingan would be exposed.

"I will help you deal with this matter." Lin Zhengjie smiled: "Manager Xu is the victim, I know that."

Xu Wenyan sighed: "Thank you."

"When Shopkeeper Xu cooks a meal for me again, I'll thank him as a token of my gratitude, haha."

"Okay, I'll definitely satisfy you."

After chatting for a while, the three of them drank some wine and started talking.

Lin Zhengjie also agreed to help Xu Wenyan send the letter.

I have to say, having more friends really allows you to go further.
