The reason why Yaowang Valley is respected by the world is because of their foundation: doing good to the world and being virtuous and benevolent doctors.
Now that Liu Qiaoer had belittled him as worthless, all the Xu family members present were indignant.
"Wangcai didn't just come in casually. You must have stolen the iceberg snow lotus. It followed the smell and found you. You are the thief who stole the medicine."
Liu Qiaoer rolled her eyes at them, smiled coldly, turned and went into the inner room, and took out a box of balsam.
"Is this the taste you want to talk about?"
When the balm is opened, it has a faint scent of peach blossom, but also a fresh fragrance of snow lotus.
"It's just an iceberg snow lotus, not a very valuable thing. Unfortunately, I got one last year and used it to make balm. This is probably what your beast smelled."
After saying that, Liu Qiaoer took out a little bit of the balm, put it on the back of her hand, and shook it in front of the Xu family's servants.
The Xu family's servants also kept silent.
"There are mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens. Don't think too highly of yourself. Hurry back and detoxify. Otherwise, it will really die."
The faces of the Xu family servants turned pale. They looked at Liu Qiaoer and were unable to say a word. They didn't know how a little maid could dare to use iceberg snow lotus to make balm.
It is difficult to find a piece of Iceberg Snow Lotus. It took them several years to find one in Yaowang Valley. It is used as medicine, but this maid actually used it to wipe her face.
“Wangcai, Wangcai…” The servant of the Xu family hugged the dog and ran away quickly, leaving behind an angry look.
The officers saw that the Xu family's dog had left, and they couldn't find it anymore. Moreover, they really didn't want to offend the people living in the inn.
What if someone passes the imperial examination? What if they become an official in the future? We can’t afford to offend them.
"Madam Gu, I'm sorry, let's go."
Xu Dong failed to save the Xu family's dog, and it died anyway.
It's a pity, but it's also the fault of the Xu family's servants for being reckless. Such a big dog just barged into the house and bared its teeth at them. Who wouldn't be scared
Liu Qiaoer still gave them time to detoxify, but unfortunately, Xu Dong was not skilled enough and could not do it.
And it was just a dog. They had just been ridiculed by Liu Qiaoer, and no one was willing to lose face and ask for the antidote.
After investigating the case of the Xu family's missing medicinal materials for several days, no clues were found.
A bigger incident happened to the prefect of Yuzhou. All the gold, silver and jewelry that he had hidden with great difficulty were stolen, leaving nothing behind.
Qian Lin hid the gold and silver he had embezzled in a cellar in an abandoned yard.
He hid it very well, but because the Xu family was robbed, he hurriedly sent people to protect it and revealed his whereabouts.
Liu Qiaoer entered the yard in the middle of the night and thought the ground was empty and there was nothing there.
I didn't expect there was a cellar.
Thanks to the detector in the space, after finding so much gold, silver and jewelry, Liu Qiaoer put them all into the space.
The space can be upgraded all of a sudden, with a few more acres of land to grow precious herbs, and an extra forest to plant fruit trees.
There is also a magical spring flowing out of the forest, making the entire space come alive.
However, Liu Qiaoer kept the embezzled disaster relief grain and official silver in Qianlin's cellar.
Qian Lin didn't dare to make it public after losing something, and quickly had people move the grain and official silver to the warehouse behind the prefectural government office. The yard was then considered abandoned.
The next day, Qian Lin had the house sold, and as luck would have it, Liu Qiaoer took a fancy to it.
Liang Sheng came to the inn with the house deed to find Liu Qiaoer: "Miss, that yard has been bought. Don't we already have a yard? This yard is a bit shabby and needs to be renovated before we can live in it."
Liu Qiaoer smiled slightly: "It's okay, just let them rest. Although the house is dilapidated, the cellar below is large and solid. I have my own use for it."
She needed a cellar to store wine, and she planned to make fruit wine, wine, and peach blossom wine.
"By the way, did you ask about the price of the oranges?"
Liang Sheng opened the basket, and inside was a box of oranges: "The price here is relatively cheap. I think it would be even cheaper if we bought locally, but oranges can't be stored for too long, and the profit is too thin."
Liu Qiaoer peeled an orange, put it in her mouth, and smacked her lips: "It's still quite sweet. Go buy some more, and you'll know when I make the food."
Although Liang Sheng didn't know what Liu Qiaoer was going to do, he was very obedient.
"Okay, then I'll bring a basket for the girl tomorrow. Is that enough?"
Liu Qiaoer nodded: "That's enough. Get me ten jars of two kilograms of wine and five kilograms of sugar."
Liang Sheng wrote it down carefully and asked, "Miss, the new house has been completed. When will you and the young master move in?"
Liu Qiaoer counted on her fingers and said, "The day after tomorrow is the last day of the exam. Let's move soon. It's not convenient to do things here. You can just deliver the things you buy to the yard tomorrow."
Liang Sheng left, leaving behind a box of oranges. Lu Yunzheng came out from the inner room and ate one.
"What kind of business are you going to start?"
Liu Qiaoer said: "Yuzhou City is a very convenient place for transportation. We just got a hundred acres of good farmland, and I plan to plant ten acres of orchard."
"You can see that there are a lot of fruits shipped from the south to the north at the docks now. The prices are still cheap, especially citrus, apples, grapes, etc. However, the further north you go, the more expensive they are, and they are not easy to store. When winter comes, you won't be able to eat fruits."
Lu Yunzheng also thought of this: "If you can make fruits that can be preserved for a long time, they will definitely sell well in the capital."
Liu Qiaoer smiled proudly: "Yes, there will be some, and fruit wine, which is my favorite. Wine made from grain is very expensive, and wine made from fruit is even more expensive. And I heard that the nobles in the capital all like to drink fruit wine."
Lu Yunzheng couldn't help but admire: "It's really a big deal."
Liu Qiaoer: "I'll come up with the idea, and you'll find the people. As usual, we'll split the money 40% to 60%, 40% for me and 60% for you."
Although Liu Qiaoer didn't know what Lu Yunzheng's daily expenses were, she felt that he was quite spendthrift.
If the business is successful, you can make more money and employ more people. Strength lies in numbers and more people mean more things can be done.
Lu Yunzheng felt that Liu Qiao'er was too considerate. "Okay, these are what you deserve. Pack up your things and I will move to the new courtyard with Aze. It will be inconvenient to live in the inn alone."
Liu Qiaoer and her group had no plans to check out. Since Lu Yunzheng and Qi Ze were not in a position to show up, they moved to a new courtyard first. Liu Qiaoer was Gu Mubai's wife, so naturally she had to stay and wait for him to finish his exams before leaving together.
Lu Yunzheng was just packing up to leave when Qi Ze suddenly pushed the door open.
"Sir, it's bad. Doctor Xu from the Xu family has brought people to look for Miss Qiao'er. They are downstairs."
The Xu family's home was robbed and the murderer could not be found. The dog that the Xu family had raised for several years was poisoned to death by Liu Qiaoer. Xu Dong followed the only clue and came to the inn.
I just want to ask Liu Qiaoer for an explanation.
Lu Yunzheng grabbed the sword and prepared to rush out, but was stopped by Liu Qiaoer.
"Don't worry, I've already put the things away. They won't be able to find them anyway. Besides, Yaowang Valley and I still have some unfinished business. It's okay."
Qi Ze also said, "Sir, the people in Medicine King Valley are good at using poisons, but their kung fu is not very high. Miss Qiao'er should be able to handle it."
He was afraid that Lu Yunzheng would be accidentally poisoned to death by the people from Yaowang Valley.
Xia Ying also quickly advised: "Yes, young master, you have just recovered, so don't take risks. We are watching from above. In broad daylight, the people from Medicine King Valley can't do anything to Qiao'er."
