Chapter 156 Three People Meeting
1Wu Tong was deeply moved by Li's words. Why didn't he have a really good wife?
An hour later, the two of them went down the mountain one after the other.
After Xue Qing and Ding finished preparing lunch, they didn't see Wu Tong come back, so they thought he was eating at the old house, and Liu didn't say anything.
After Xue Zhong finished his meal and took a short rest, he took Gao Yi to the back mountain.
The Wu family was not idle either. They closed the door and held a short meeting.
Liu was uneasy until the mother, daughter and three of them sat together. She quickly asked Xue Qing: "Qing'er, those people are not simple at first glance. Do you have any way to deal with them?"
"Mom, sister-in-law, I haven't told you about my second uncle. Listen to me. It all started when I was collecting mushrooms at Wenxiangju. Do you remember how your arm was injured?"
Liu's arm had not healed yet, so she touched it subconsciously.
Xue Qing and Ding both looked at Liu's arm and continued, "Li and the shopkeeper of Wenxiangju have joined forces. When the car overturned, Zhao Da swapped the baskets of our two families. After that, Wenxiangju guessed that we have a detoxification recipe. At that time, the manager of Wenxiangju came to our house to discuss cooperation."
Ding suddenly realized something and said, "Yes, yes."
Xue Qing: "We didn't agree, so they set their sights on Second Uncle. This Xiao Li was most likely sent by them. They've been trying for so long just to find a way to remove the poison from the mushrooms."
After hearing this, Liu's face became even worse. She never thought that these people would go to such lengths for a prescription.
Ding was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest. In her opinion, how could there be such a person who would do anything to achieve his goals?
Although she didn't like Xiaoli and even looked down on her, she was moved to think that they would let a young girl give herself to such an old man just for a way to get rid of the poison.
At this moment, I actually felt a little sympathy for Xiaoli.
Xue Qing knew that these things might have been beyond their comprehension, and he had to let them see clearly now, because there would be greater human nature that would challenge their psychology in the future.
It is always difficult for people without background to do something in any era.
Fortunately, they met Shopkeeper Xie of Youran Ju, who not only did not make things difficult for them, but also gave them such generous rewards. Xue Qing was very grateful to Shopkeeper Xie.
"Mom, luckily we met Shopkeeper Xie from Youranju. He was the one who helped us behind the scenes this time. And I have reached an agreement with Shopkeeper Xie this time to give him the ingredients of star anise and peppercorns."
Liu was shocked. What would she do in the future? Wouldn't this cut off her own source of income?
Xue Qing knew what they were thinking: "Mom, don't worry, the seasoning packets will be released sooner or later, and this is a good opportunity to release them. In the future, many restaurants and hotels will have braised dishes made with seasoning packets."
The two opened their eyes wide, and Ding couldn't help asking, "Many people will be able to go to the mountains to pick up star anise and spices in the future, so what will happen to our business in the future?"
Xue Qing smiled and said, "Didn't I go to Mrs. Cheng's house yesterday? Brother Cheng brought back some seeds from the Western Regions. By next spring, our business will be even bigger."
Xue Qing turned around and took out a bundle from the cupboard, and opened the seeds wrapped in paper inside: "Mom, sister-in-law, look, these can become a new dish when they grow up."
At this time, Liu finally felt relieved.
Xue Qing continued, "Sister-in-law, it's getting cold. Prepare a pot with soil and let's keep it indoors first. Maybe we can enjoy this delicacy during the Chinese New Year!"
