PDLP Chapter 148 Calamus
Chapter 148 Calamus
"You go and get busy first..."
Qingshan said something to Xu Yiyi, then stared straight at Tan Dalu.
"I have to keep that bastard Tan Dalu under control for you, otherwise he might continue to ruin your restaurant."
Qingshan snorted and planned to buy a new lock on the way back.
With the door locked, Tan Dalu didn't dare to do anything.
"Thank you, Uncle Qingshan. If you hadn't been here today, who knows who would have ended up with Qushenglou."
Xu Yiyi looked at Qingshan with great gratitude.
It actually made him feel a little more uncomfortable.
"Oh! Don't be so polite. Your father saved me twice when he was alive, so, let alone lending you money, I should even give you this building."
Qingshan touched his head and laughed a few times.
Tan Dalu passed by him and glared at him angrily.
"No need to send it to me. I'll write you an IOU and send it to you later. I won't take your things for nothing."
Plus the deed tax is more than 400 taels of silver.
It's not a small amount.
"Let's talk about this later. I have to keep an eye on him. You can make me a nice meal to celebrate. I've already paid for it. Do you remember the wall in the backyard of Qusheng Building? Behind the wall is a dead end alley that leads to your restaurant..."
Qingshan couldn't help laughing as he spoke.
This task was not accomplished by him alone. He had come here three times before.
The clerk refused to give in no matter what.
As soon as Xu Yiyi came in, the clerk quietly helped him to get it done.
After all, it is easier to have connections with officials.
Xu Yiyi widened his eyes.
“Isn’t this considered bribery?”
Qingshan shook his head.
"No, that alley is blocked at both ends. It's useless. The money I gave you can be considered as the purchase price of the alley."
After hearing this, Xu Yiyi smiled even more brightly.
"Looks like I really need to treat Uncle Qingshan to a good meal tonight."
……
"Get on the road!"
After Qingshan finished speaking, he followed Tan Dalu out of the government office.
Xu Yiyi glanced at the scene outside. It was evening and the sunset glow in the sky was burning like flames.
Her originally relaxed brows were now tightly locked together.
He turned and went into the place where Fang Zhiyi rested.
Mr. Wu was boiling some medicine at this time, and the whole room was filled with the fragrance of herbs.
"coming?"
When Mr. Wu heard the noise, he looked up and saw Xu Yiyi standing not far away.
"The calamus hasn't arrived yet."
Old Wu sighed and paused as Inspector Liao Yun, who was pounding pearls, did so.
A trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.
He was transferred from Hanzhou together with Fang Zhiyi, and lived and ate with Fang Zhiyi along the way.
The relationship between the two has long gone beyond the general superior-subordinate relationship and is more like friends and confidants.
Hearing what Mr. Wu said, he was even more heartbroken.
"Don't let your tears fall into there."
Mr. Wu said helplessly.
Xu Yiyi walked forward to take a look. Fang Zhiyi was now sweating profusely and his brows were furrowed.
It seems like he is immersed in great pain.
He was muttering something, but Xu Yiyi listened carefully but couldn't hear it clearly.
She walked over and took over the work from Liao Yun.
Let him wipe Fang Zhiyi's sweat.
Old Wu sat beside her, waving his small fan, and the smell of medicine became stronger.
"He's still in a mild state now. It's okay if he just has a nightmare. The scary thing about this drug is that it makes people jump back and forth between good dreams and nightmares."
Xu nodded. This should be schizophrenia, right?
As soon as Mr. Wu finished speaking, Fang Zhiyi, who was lying on the couch, began to smile.
"Starting to have sweet dreams."
Liao Yun took a look and spoke.
"It's okay, let him enjoy it first. Who knows, the calamus might be delivered later."
Old Wu waved his hand, looking indifferent.
Xu Yiyi lowered her head and pounded the pearls. "Are these pearls supposed to be boiled?"
She looked at Mr. Wu curiously. Can pearls be used as medicine?
She doesn't know.
"It's half and half. Lord Fang has external injuries, and the pearl can promote the healing of the wound. Without it, his wound will not heal for a long time, and it will be another kind of poison."
Old Wu crossed his legs and took out a piece of preserved fruit from his chest.
"Eat?"
Old Wu asked, and Xu Yiyi shook his head.
I was just surprised that Fang Zhiyi had external injuries and was poisoned.
That must be an enemy.
Otherwise, who could be so cruel?
……
"Patrol Officer Zhong has returned..."
……
"Inspector Wu Laozhong is back..."
Xu Yiyi looked up and realized that Zhong Congyun had returned just in time.
As soon as Wu Laogang stood up, Zhong Congyun's legs were like two springs out of control, trembling with every step.
His steps felt light, as if he was walking on cotton, and his body swayed involuntarily from side to side.
The moment he saw Xu Yiyi, he immediately straightened up.
"Come on! Your butt is bruised, right?"
Old Wu's words seemed to be filled with poison, and Zhong Congyun's face turned red in an instant.
He glanced at Xu Yiyi very embarrassedly.
"The medicine you requested."
Zhong Cong handed the bundle over.
Old Wu casually threw a bottle of something over and said, "Hurry back and apply some medicine and lie down for a few days, or you'll be dead."
Zhong Congyun was too shy to speak, and Xu Yiyi sped up his hands.
The four-inch-long pearls were quickly ground into powder.
"Watch the fire for me. I need to take care of this medicine."
After saying this, Mr. Wu left the inner room.
Zhong Congyun seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something to Xu Yiyi.
But Xu Yiyi's attention was all on the small stove, and she didn't even look at him.
Seeing this, Zhong Congyun no longer stayed there to get in the way.
……
"Here it comes... the medicine is here..."
As soon as the calamus arrived, Mr. Wu became at ease and his brows relaxed.
With the medical officer's response, the people in the government office were naturally not as worried as before.
Xu Yiyi handed the prepared ointment to Liao Yun and left the inner room.
After taking the medicine, Fang Zhiyi was still sleeping and did not wake up.
According to Mr. Wu, Fang Zhiyi needs to take medicine for at least two days before he can wake up.
But I won’t dream anymore.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Xu Yiyi left the government office and returned to the dock.
……
At this time, Er'er was so anxious that she was about to cry.
There was a long line of customers behind her, but no one was urging her. However, she kept making mistakes because of her anxiety.
The burnt fish on the iron plate was stuck to it and there was no time to clean it before new ingredients were placed on it.
Even though I followed Xu Yiyi's steps, the food I made was not satisfactory.
Sihai puffed up his little face and kept blowing on the fire, while Sanchuan and Xu Anyang kept apologizing to the guests.
"Give way……"
Xu Yiyi squeezed into the crowd.
"Hey, Boss Xu is back, everyone, make way..."
The customer shouted, and Xu Yiyi came to the stall smoothly.
"Miss..."
Er'er pouted and was almost crying in anxiety.
"It's okay, I'll do it."
Xu Yiyi used a spatula to remove all the food from the iron plate.
The burnt black stuff on top was not spared either.
The entire iron plate had been re-processed, becoming shiny, and a spoonful of peanut oil poured on it brought out its proper fragrance.
Xu Yiyi placed the seafood in the bucket on the table.
