Chapter 403 Hot Searches

“Do you think this is Chinese cabbage? Each of them is one hundred catties. The total red deer antlers I have here are less than one hundred catties!”

The old steward was angry and snatched the list from Malu's hand.

Chu Qianyuan coughed twice and said, "Xiao...uh, Ma Shaoxia, the amount you want is really too much. It is enough to practice for hundreds of years."

Malu thought for a while and said, "Then I'll reduce it by half."

"It's not half the price." The old steward said coldly. He looked at Chu Qianyuan again, but this time he put away the smile on his face.

"Dharma protectors, this is the second time this month that you have come to get the secret medicine from me. The last time you gave it to those little kids on Maxing Street for martial arts training. Those little kids were members of the gang after all, but this time you took it directly from me. Distribute the secret medicine to outsiders.”

Chu Qianyuan scratched his head and said, "Young Master Ma, you are not actually an outsider... Uncle Xu, please be accommodating. I will bring you good shochu next time you come."

In the past, when he said this, Uncle Xu would just give him the thing after calling him a brat, but this time Uncle Xu's face was still serious.

Seeing that Chu Qianyuan still didn't understand, he sighed and could only clarify his words.

"Keeper Chu, today is different from the past. Gang leader Deng is no longer here, and a new gang leader has not been chosen yet. At this time, it is best for you and me to keep a low profile and not to fall into the trap of others. If you take so many rare secret medicines at once, Ruoxin If the gang leader pursues the case, even if he is the protector of the law, it will be difficult for him to give an explanation. "

Chu Qianyuan frowned and wanted to argue, but Ma Lu took the initiative and said, "Forget it, Master Chu, what this old man said makes sense. Let's wait until Captain Yuan becomes the gang leader before we come back."

However, Chu Qianyuan had a bad temper and became anxious when he heard this, "How can I forget it? It doesn't matter. No matter who is the leader of the gang, I will explain it to him. Since I promised you that I will give you the secret medicine, I will definitely do it." !”

"How about this..." Ma Lu thought of a compromise plan and turned to look at Uncle Xu.

"It's really eye-catching that I took away so many rare secret medicines at once, but if they were ordinary secret medicines, as long as they didn't talk about it outside, the impact shouldn't be that big."

"What secret medicine do you want?" Uncle Xu glanced sideways at Malu.

"Qingyun dried lotus leaves." Ma Lu said.

"Well, this secret medicine is common and not very valuable." Uncle Xu nodded slightly, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed a little, "How much do you want?"

"Seven hundred pounds."

Before Uncle Xu said anything, Chu Qianyuan said first, "Why do you want so many Qingyun lotus leaves? You can't practice that martial arts, so you should get more precious secret medicine."

"It's okay, I can practice other martial arts first."

"Even seven hundred kilograms of dried Qingyun lotus leaves is too much." Uncle Xu said, stroking his beard.

"Then change to other secret medicines of similar price."

Uncle Xu thought for a while, "I can give you three hundred catties of dried lotus leaves, plus two hundred catties of Magnolia officinalis and two hundred catties of Wenzhongcao fruit. These together cost more than eight or nine thousand taels of silver." .

"But I can divide this account into several parts and put them in different months, so it won't be so eye-catching."

Although I couldn't get higher-star ingredients, it was good to fill the collection bag.

The main thing is that the senior brother Chu Qianyuan is indeed a good person, and he is teaching martial arts and delivering medicine. Malu doesn't want to rip off his skin all at once.

After leaving the warehouse, Chu Qianyuan was still very sorry and said that he would definitely find a way to help Malu raise the secret medicine for practicing the Dragon Capturing Skill in the future.

After being separated from Chu Qianyuan, Gu Qingyi still didn't feel sleepy. She was gearing up to investigate Tianlongmen to see if she could find any clues related to the stolen lotus bowl.

However, Ma Lu glanced at the traveler's bracelet on his wrist and found that the countdown was less than an hour left, so he excused himself from leaving the city for business and parted with Gu Qingyi again. In addition to agreeing on a time to meet again next time, Ma Lu also reminded Gu Qingyi a few words, asking her not to just investigate the Tianlongmen, and also check the three candidates for the Beggar Clan, especially the one named Bai and Deputy Jiang. Two gang leaders.

Because no matter what the case is, the perpetrator must have a motive.

Yuan Xiaoyun had already won the support of most people in the gang and was about to become the new gang leader of the Beggar Clan, but the theft of the lotus bowl made the position of gang leader confusing again.

The biggest beneficiaries of this incident were Elder Bai and Deputy Gang Leader Jiang, who were competitors with Yuan Xiaoyun. They had already half stepped into the graveyard, but as soon as this incident happened, it was like another resurrection match.

After giving instructions to Gu Qingyi, Ma Lu returned to Deng Youtai's tombstone and disappeared there.

With the 300 kilograms of Qingyun dried lotus leaves given by the Beggar Clan, plus the 100 kilograms bought with Yan Wuji's bounty and the banknotes on his body, the total of 400 kilograms of dried lotus leaves is enough for a long time. , Malu no longer has to worry about the raw materials of lotus leaf charcoal cake.

However, compared to the dried lotus leaves, Malu still wanted to get fresh lotus seeds and bring them back to plant on the tabletop farm.

It’s just that the seeds of the secret medicine are not cheap. He is not rich now. If a cheap senior brother hadn’t come to his door this time, he would have only collected 300 kilograms of ingredients, and he doesn’t know where the secret medicine will be next time. Woolen cloth.

From this point of view, Malu really wanted to work with Gu Qingyi to find the Beggar Clan's lotus bowl.

This would not only help his first and second senior brothers, but also significantly improve his own financial situation.

But this is all happening later. Malu gave Lao Wang the medicinal materials collected this time.

"I've figured out what to do this week."

"What?"

"In addition to dried lotus leaves, I also got a lot of grass fruits and Magnolia officinalis this time. I happened to read the news a few days ago that the peak season of flu has come again recently, so this time I will make clear soup noodles to cure diseases.

"Cure clear soup noodles, it's a good choice."

Lao Wang looked inside the collection bag and said, "We have all the four medicinal materials we need. I'm going to make preparations right away."

Afterwards, Ma Lu worked hard and finalized the other three dishes. He originally wanted to go to bed to rest for a while and catch up on his sleep, but unexpectedly, Ma Youyou ran down from upstairs and shouted as soon as he entered the door.

“Boss, boss, this is bad, have you seen the hot searches on Weibo?”

"What is the hot search on Weibo?"

"Someone posted a long video of "Stone Hammer" sister An Qi lip-synching at Bilibili's concert. This matter has been widely circulated, and people are everywhere complaining."

"Oh, is it true?" Malu raised his eyebrows.

"What's true?"

"Lip-syncing."

"Of course not. The one where Sister Anqi was lip-synced was the one we went to a week ago. Didn't you give her a singer sandwich before going on stage?"

"Oh oh oh, I remembered, something like this happened."
