Chapter 19: Ch. 10 Part 1
YanZhi thought of having doctor Shi help them in acquiring the shop.... so they went to Huichun shop when they got to the county, doctor Shi was at the counter and prescribing medicine for someone when they got to the shop so they had to wait.
" brother Yan it’s unusual to see you again in the county when you just came yesterday.... did you need something? " doctor said in bewilderment, there had never been a time where YanZhi come to the county in a row....
" ah it’s nothing like that doctor Shi, it’s just my wife wanted to open a restaurant and I was thinking to ask for your help in inquiring about vacant shops on sale " YanZhi stated his worries
" then that’s an easy feat... there are no vacant shops at the moment but I’ll have my contacts inquire about it. How soon do you need it? " doctor Shi asked
" as soon as possible... possible in a few days time, I need the shop before the beginning of summer " Xiao Ling said politely "you can send one of your workers to come find us in big stone village when you do inquire about, we’re temporary staying in an old house by the mountain " he added making doctor Shi nodded
" I’ll do just that.... I’ll have my contacts start inquiring for vacant shops from today itself " doctor Shi said happily as he felt YanZhi was willing to make friends with him and that was why he asked him for help.... doctor Shi felt of it as honor and was willing to do a good job in finding a good shop for YanZhi
YanZhi was going to ask for their leave but Xiao Ling beat him to it as he pointed to the herbs cabinet "doctor Shi I just saw one of your clerk prescribed white pepper for someone, might I ask if you have herbs with strong scent like it.... for instance cumin, sichun peppercorns, bay leaves, star anise, cloves, small fennel and cinnamon?" he asked excitedly making doctor Shi watched him skeptically
" yes, why does brother Ling ask? " doctor Shi frowned
" doctor Shi I need them for something... can you sell me two catties each" Xiao Ling was so excited that he didn’t notice the frown on doctor Shi’s face getting deeper
