Chapter 241: Tong Ren Xuan
Chapter 241: Tong Ren Xuan
When the train arrived at the station, Chen Xiao and the others walked out of the station one after another.
Sun Buzhou came to meet Chen Xiao and the others in person, accompanied by a fat man with a round face.
The fat man was wearing a luxury brand, although it looked very low-key and introverted, but it was just pretending.
And when he saw Chen Xiao and the others, a strange look appeared in his eyes.
These people are the VIPs that Elder Sun mentioned? It looks unremarkable, very ordinary!
He also thought that the distinguished guests that Elder Sun mentioned were the children of aristocratic families, who were either rich or noble.
After some introductions, the round-faced fat man couldn't help showing a bit of disdain when he learned that Chen Xiao was just an ordinary doctor.
And when he knew that Li Mu was just a hotel waiter, and the other two were even jobless, the contempt in his eyes was even more undisguised.
Although Li Qin still looks pretty, in his opinion, the rural atmosphere is too strong.
Then Sun Buzhou introduced the fat man to everyone.
"This is my old friend's grandson, Huang Wenlei. He drove here to pick you up. It's already late today. I'll just rest at my old friend's house for a day. Let's start tomorrow."
Sun Buzhou did not specifically introduce Huang Wenlei's family background, but there is no mediocrity for someone who can make friends with a master of traditional Chinese medicine like Sun Buzhou.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The Huang family is a top family in Jiaonan, and this Huang Wenlei is a veritable aristocratic family.
Although he acted in a low-key manner, Chen Xiao didn't like that superiority inadvertently.
"No need, Mr. Sun, we have a lot of people, so we won't bother you at your residence, and we have already booked the hotel."
Hearing Chen Xiao's words, Huang Wenlei didn't say anything, but there was a bit of disdain on his face.
If you don't go, you don't go, this kind of ordinary low class person, if not for Sun Buzhou's reason, would not be qualified to be the guest of Huang's family.
Seeing Huang Wenlei's attitude, Sun Buzhou couldn't bear it.
He said: "Alright, then I'll stay in the hotel with you too, Huang Wenlei, it's none of your business here, you can go back."
Because he secretly blamed Huang Wenlei for treating his guests slowly, Sun Buzhou's tone was very blunt.
Huang Wenlei dared to look down on Chen Xiao and the others, but he absolutely did not dare to offend Sun Buzhou.
Hearing Sun Buzhou's words, he immediately realized that Mr. Sun was angry, and hurried to mend the situation.
"Grandpa Sun, this is not good. Grandpa Sun's distinguished guest is our Huang family's distinguished guest. There is no reason for a distinguished guest to stay in a hotel. If this gets into my grandfather's ears, he will scold me to death."
Huang Wenlei said with a bitter face.
Sun Buzhou let out a muffled snort, this brat looks down on people, so he has to beat him.
And Chen Xiao didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing at all, he interrupted: "Old Sun, anyway, it's just a one-night stay, it doesn't matter where you live, we have one more important thing to do now, I want to How many herbs do you want, do you know where they can be sold in the city?"
When Sun Buyi heard this, he laughed immediately: "Chen Xiao, just tell me what medicinal materials you want. My old friend's family is in the medicinal materials business. As long as you name the medicinal materials, he will not have them here." !"
As soon as he heard that the other party wanted to buy medicinal materials, Huang Wenlei couldn't help feeling complacent, and said with a big bag: "I'll take you to our family's pharmacy right now, and you can pick it yourself when you get there!"
Chen Xiao nodded: "That's very good."
Several people got into the commercial vehicle driven by Huang Wenlei and sped towards the pharmacy.
Tongrenxuan is the most famous chain Chinese medicine store in Jiaonan and even on the entire Jiaozhou Island. There are hundreds of branches of the drugstore, all of which are owned by the Huang family.
Not to mention the value of the pharmacy, the value of the real estate alone is several hundred million.
And this one in the center of Jiaonan is the head office of Tongrenxuan.
The antique-style building, with blue tiles and cornices, covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters, with a total of three floors upstairs and downstairs.
From a distance, it is a giant.
As soon as they got out of the car, everyone smelled a strong fragrance of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Mr. Chen, I don't know what medicine you want to buy, I'll send someone to get it right away!"
Huang Wenlei's words were still polite, but there was undisguised arrogance in his tone.
"I want coptis, talc, licorice, cinnabar, peppermint and rhino horn. The more the better, the older the better."
Chen Xiao said lightly.
What he wanted was not medicinal properties, but the aura contained in the long-lived medicinal materials.
But Huang Wenlei showed contempt when he heard these words.
Xin Dao is still a doctor, so he is so superficial.
Traditional Chinese medicine is not like what is described in movies and novels, such as hundred-year-old wild ginseng, thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum or ten-thousand-year snow lotus...
What Chinese medicine pays attention to is a combination. In a deeper sense, there is also a chemical reaction between them. It does not mean that the older the medicine is, the better the medicine will be.
However, he was too lazy to teach Chen Xiao. After all, slapping Chen Xiao in the face was slapping Elder Zhou, and he still had to give it to Elder Zhou.
Besides, Mr. Zhou, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, didn't say anything, how could he have the right to speak!
Huang Wenlei memorized the names of the herbs, and ordered the clerk to fetch them.
But a few minutes later, the clerk came back again, and said embarrassingly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huang, the pharmacy has already sold out the medicines you asked for!"
"What? How come it's such a coincidence that they're all sold out, aren't you kidding me?"
Huang Wenlei couldn't help asking with a gloomy expression.
The clerk turned pale with fright: "Boss Huang, how dare I play tricks on you? It's really all sold out, and there's nothing left in the warehouse, or I'll go to another branch to help you have a look?"
Huang Wenlei was just taking all the money, bragging that he could get whatever he wanted, but he was slapped in the face as soon as he came, and he was very upset.
He waved his hand and scolded: "Call me the store manager, I want to ask what's going on?"
"Yes, Mr. Huang, I'll call the store manager right now."
The clerk hurried upstairs to find the store manager.
Huang Wenlei said embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, I don't know why this happened. These kinds of medicines are not rare medicinal materials, and the stock is always sufficient. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be sold out."
He didn't say this to Chen Xiao, but to Sun Buzhou. He was worried that Sun Buzhou would misunderstand that he was making trouble.
After a while, the store manager hurried over. As soon as he heard that Huang Wenlei was coming, he quickly put down all the work at hand.
"Mr. Huang, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came, I'll go out to meet you!"
The store manager said flatteringly.
Huang Wenlei looked unhappy, and asked: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, let me ask you, the clerk said that the medicinal materials I ordered just now are all sold out, what's going on?"
The store manager looked at the clerk, and after asking some questions, he suddenly realized, and explained: "Mr. Huang, the clerk didn't lie to you. These medicinal materials are indeed all sold out. Just two hours ago, a few customers came. Bought all these herbs!"
