Riding a motorcycle on the road of revenge

Xiaoyue flipped through the medicinal seeds, took out some that were suitable for the climate of this area and suitable for planting in the current season, and left the space.

After walking around the yard, she felt that something was missing. After walking around again, she thought that she should set up a reception room, put some tables and chairs, and prepare some writing brushes, inkstones, and so on.

There is a big yard, many warehouses and many rooms. Besides the yard, there is the house, which is its advantage and disadvantage.

There was no furniture, no well, not even a stove or firewood.

There is none here, but there is in space!

Xiaoyue found a table and a few chairs that had no markings or features and looked very ordinary in the space, and then took out the worst writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone in the space and arranged them in a corner as soon as the warehouse was entered.

Looking at the bags of medicinal herbs not far away, Xiaoyue found a large screen to block the view of this corner.

After arranging all these, Xiaoyue heard many carriages coming here.

It should be Li Qiu who brought people here to get the medicinal herbs.

Sure enough, when Xiaoyue opened the door, she saw that not only Li Qiu had come, but also Li Dong, and five carriages were following behind them.

Without waiting for Li Qiu to speak, Xiaoyue let all the people and cars into the yard.

Speaking of Li Dong, he actually arrived not long after Xiaoyue left Baicaotang.

He walked into Baicaotang in a hurry, sweating profusely. When he saw Li Qiu, he went over and hugged him with a guilty look on his face, saying, "Brother, I'm late," and "Brother, I'm sorry for you." The people who came to buy medicine thought that Li Dong didn't see someone for the last time and came to attend the funeral.

Li Qiu was almost suffocated by Li Dong's hug. He patted Li Dong and asked him to let go of him quickly.

Looking at Li Dong's attitude, there was something he didn't understand. It must be that the matter of purchasing medicinal materials for him was not completed.

If it hadn't been done, it wouldn't have been like this.

He couldn't buy the herbs, but the young lady was capable and got them.

"Ahem, you, you're going to suffocate me to death."

Li Qiu pushed Li Dong away and took a few deep breaths.

"Hahaha, I used a little strength when I was happy. Are you okay, brother?"

Li Dong came up with a beaming face to help Li Qiu calm down.

"Did you get the herbs?"

Li Qiu saw Li Dong's expression and doubted his judgment. But when Li Dong heard the question, his expression changed and fell.

"No. I asked all the herbal medicine sellers and growers in the surrounding counties, and none of them had much in stock. They all said that they had cleared out their stock two days ago."

"Then what are you happy about?"

"Well... let's go inside and talk."

Li Dong looked around mysteriously, then dragged Li Qiu to the back of the pharmacy.

Li Qiu was thinking about what he had agreed with Xiaoyue to do to get the herbs, and didn't want to go to the back, but Li Dong was so strong that he was dragged to the back.

"Hey, hey, hey, my sleeve fell off. Compensate me with a new one later."

"Compensation, compensation, compensation, why don't you just give me a new one? Just listen to me first..."

The two of them quickly came to the backyard, and seeing that there was no one around, Li Dong explained that he had an appointment to meet with a herbal medicine merchant to discuss business this afternoon, and he went to the agreed teahouse after lunch.

Because there was still an hour before the agreed time, he booked another room next to the reserved private room. He wanted to take a nap and rest, thinking that he would have enough energy to negotiate a good price, but he heard the voice of the herbal medicine dealer before he fell asleep. As a result, he woke up completely from sleepiness.

Coincidentally, the herbal medicine dealer went to his next door with a familiar-looking person.

Fearing that his business would be stolen, Li Dong lay on the wall and listened carefully.

As a martial artist, he had better hearing than most people. In addition, the herbal medicine merchant spoke without concealment or evasion, so he heard about 70% of the conversation next door.

It turned out that the herbal medicine merchant and that person had also agreed to meet here, and the time was earlier than his. The person he had arranged to meet was a purchasing manager at Tongchuntang, a local from Xinghua County. The matter they were discussing was the balance of the last purchase of herbal medicine.

Tongchuntang relied on its big store and backing, and when purchasing medicinal materials, a deposit was paid first, and the full payment was paid after all the medicinal materials were delivered and inspected. However, Tongchuntang always found problems with the medicinal materials and used them to deduct the balance. Even so, the remaining money had to be paid in installments, and the final balance could only be obtained after signing the next sales contract with Tongchuntang.

In other words, the deposit that the medicinal materials merchant receives for the next transaction is equivalent to the final payment for the previous transaction.

The herbal medicine merchant didn't want to do business with Tongchuntang, but the other party was too powerful, so he had to give up the herbal medicine business. Fortunately, he could still make some money by doing business with Tongchuntang, so he just endured it.

A batch of medicinal materials was delivered to Tongchuntang just two days ago, and it was agreed that the second payment would be made today. However, the other party forced the medicinal materials supplier to provide another large batch of medicinal materials, otherwise they would not pay the money today.

The medicinal herb dealer was unwilling.

Originally, only the final payment had to wait until the next signing of the transaction, but now only the deposit is required, and all payments in between have been cancelled.

He can’t collect the money, so how can he purchase goods?

You want to do business with him even if you don't pay him.

This is so unreasonable and really too much!

When he did business with Baicaotang, the other party never found fault with him and would pay the full amount after inspecting the goods and finding no problems.

Xinghua County is not their Tongchuntang.

When the manager saw that the medicinal material merchant was angry, he thought that they were all from Xinghua County and had been dealing with each other for many years, so he kindly gave him some words of advice.

He said that at noon, the shopkeeper received a pigeon message from the capital, saying that something had happened at the head office in the capital, and all the medicinal materials in the warehouse were suddenly gone. The shopkeeper and the boss were very anxious, and the master behind them was also angry.

At this time, you must do whatever your superiors tell you to do. Don't be disobedient or go against the will of others.

If you accidentally offend the people above you, making money or not is not a big deal, you may even lose your life.

The herbal medicine merchant also became confused after hearing this.

He is just a small businessman and is afraid that the powerful people above him will be angry with him.

Let’s put the issue of money aside for now. The problem is that he doesn’t have any medicine!

Tongchuntang bought all his medicinal herbs a few days ago. He was waiting for the second payment and then used the money to purchase more goods.

What does this make him do?

A good cook cannot cook without rice. There is no money or medicine.

The manager saw that the herbal medicine merchant was in a difficult situation. He also knew that what he was doing was not fair. He advised the herbal medicine merchant to agree to the matter first and then find a solution. If he did not agree, he would be in trouble immediately.

The medicinal herb merchant was angry and afraid, but after listening to the advice, he accepted the business.

After sending the manager away, he seemed to understand something.

But he had signed the contract, written down in black and white, and he had no room for regret. If he didn't have the herbs by then, he would have to compensate the other party for their losses. He might have to sell his house and land, and he would have to sleep in a dilapidated temple with his whole family.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the herbal medicine merchant did not care about the appointment with Li Dong, and hurried to find a solution. Before leaving, he asked the teahouse staff to tell Li Dong that he had missed the appointment today and would apologize another day.
