Chapter 378
"Do you want that much?"
Zhong Ruyi was very surprised. It had been five or six days since she was given the water melon last time, and she had long forgotten about it.
Unexpectedly, when I came back from the escort agency, I saw Ah Hai and his men coming over and saying they wanted to buy some melons.
Ah Hai nodded, looking very excited. "Boss, the melon you gave me last time was so sweet! We have never tasted such a delicious melon!"
If he hadn't had no time in the previous few days, he would have come early the next day.
As soon as he had some free time, he brought over a few other crew members who were very greedy for melons. Before coming, he received money from the other crew members who were too busy to come, asking them to help bring some melons back.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to take you there." Zhong Ruyi turned around and asked Cuicui, who was playing with Tiedan outside the door, to take Ah Hai and the others to the store.
Not long after Cuicui and her group left, Tiedan, who was playing alone at the door, suddenly shouted, "Aunt! Uncle is back!"
When Zhong Ruyi heard this, she could no longer take care of the work in her hands. She dropped the towel in her hand and ran out.
At the door of the escort agency next door, there were more than a dozen horses at the door and people got off the horses.
Chen Dongzhi knew that he had returned late, so he tried to hurry on the way without resting. Although he missed his wife very much at the moment, he did not go into the restaurant to take a look. He first went into the escort agency and told Master Duan about the situation, and then drove the carriage to Yu's herbal medicine shop.
When Zhong Ruyi came out, she only saw his back. Knowing that he was busy, she did not go up to him to express her longing for him. After all, he was back, so why not talk to him?
The carriage arrived at Yu's herbal medicine shop. Mrs. Yu was talking to the shopkeeper inside the shop. She was surprised to see so many carriages coming to the door, wondering if the people from the escort agency had returned.
Come out and take a look, and sure enough!
She took the order from Chen Dongzhi with some dissatisfaction and said, "Why did you take so long this time? I've been waiting for you to bring the goods back for several days, and the meatballs in the store can't be made!"
However, I saw that the quantity of medicinal materials I wrote on the list had been deleted and changed. Some of them clearly stated the required weight, but it had been changed, for example, only half of the Gastrodia elata was included!
Madam Yu looked at the list and became more and more angry. She directly questioned Chen Dongzhi, "Why don't you follow the quantity on the list? Is this your escort agency's style of doing things? The employer pays you, and this is how you do things?!"
"How many days have you been delayed? You should have been back five days ago! I was waiting for these medicinal pills in my pharmacy! And where are you?"
She started talking without giving anyone time to explain.
She stopped talking only after Chen Dongzhi and the others standing in front of her had spit on their faces, but her eyes were still looking at them sharply, meaning that if you don't give a good excuse, this matter today will not be over!
Chen Dongzhi silently wiped the spit from his face and unfolded the list that was thrown in front of him. "Mrs. Yu's incident this time is not a problem of our escort agency. We had agreed to go to Gao's herbal medicine shop to pick up the goods directly and return the next day, but the Gao family is not sincere in doing business."
"We went to Gao's herbal medicine shop the same day after we arrived to check the goods, but the shopkeeper kept making excuses, so we had to go back to the inn. When we went there again the next day, he said he was out of stock and wouldn't give us any."
"The goods we brought back now were purchased by more than a dozen of us brothers who went around asking around. We have tried our best to get back in time so as not to delay the drugstore."
He told her everything that happened that day in detail. Mrs. Yu, who was originally furious, blushed when she heard that the delay was caused by the supplier she found not delivering the goods.
Dafeng and others have been running around Wuzhou these days just to get this batch of goods for the Yu family. They even had to travel overnight when they came back, and only two of them could take turns to rest.
As a result, when he came back, he was scolded before he could say anything. His face fell to the ground.
Chen Dongzhi was fine, knowing that this was not what Madam Yu intended. Before they left, she also said that she hoped they could come back as soon as possible, as the pharmacy urgently needed the medicines.
Madam Yu was a little embarrassed, but she had to ask, "I sent someone to ask Gao's herbal medicine shop before, and I wrote down the items on the list because they were in stock. Why, why didn't they deliver the goods when they arrived?"
Da Feng sneered and said, "How would we know that? After all, we are just showing off our strength, so it's normal that they don't want to give it to us!"
He was filled with rage. He hadn't eaten or slept well during his stay in Wuzhou, and spent the whole night worrying about not being able to find the goods and come back with problems. It wasn't their fault, but he still felt a little resentful when being blamed like that.
"I'm so sorry! I was indeed too impatient. Let me put it this way. I will pay double the fee this time to make up for your hard work during this period." Mrs. Yu had nothing to be embarrassed about. She apologized immediately when she realized she was wrong.
Chen Dongzhi glanced at the others, and knew from one look that the brothers accepted Madam Yu's apology. He nodded, "Thank you very much!"
Mrs. Yu was embarrassed. "Why should I thank you so much? I should thank you!"
The carriage was soon emptied, and Mrs. Yu opened the carriage containing the bezoar that she had been longing for first.
"Wow! Where did you buy this bezoar? It's of top quality!" she exclaimed.
Chen Dongzhi was about to leave after checking the last truckload of herbs with the owner of the medicine shop. When he saw her asking, he thought for a moment and said, "I bought it at Meng's herbal medicine shop. The price is a little higher than Gao's."
It doesn’t matter if the price is a little higher, what Mrs. Yu wants is good quality.
After asking about the specific address of the Meng family's herbal medicine shop, she nodded with satisfaction and decided to ask someone to go to this shop to buy bezoar next time!
More than a dozen people came back to the escort agency at once, and the company became extremely lively in an instant.
Some family members heard the noise and knew they were back, so they all ran to the escort agency, making the situation even more lively.
Chen Dongzhi gave the money to Escort Duan and asked him to keep it first and divide it with Escort Hu when he came back. After giving the money, he ran away and disappeared in a flash.
As soon as I entered the restaurant, a meat ball hugged my legs.
Tiedan looked at him with round eyes, "Uncle, where have you been? I haven't seen you for many days!"
Chen Dongzhi picked him up and asked as he walked inside, "How many days are many days?"
Routuanzi counted on her fingers, but couldn't figure it out. Finally, she gave up and leaned her head on the man's shoulder. She put her arm around his neck and said, "My aunt and I miss you so much, uncle."
Zhong Ruyi couldn't help laughing when she heard these words in the yard, but when she met the man's gentle eyes, she couldn't help but blushing.
"How was it? Did the trip go well?"
Chen Dongzhi put Tiedan down and reached out to hug the person he had been thinking about these days. "It went smoothly, it just took a little time - did you miss me?"
Tiedan, who had not left after being put down, just watched the two faces get closer and closer, until they were tightly pressed together.
