Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 26 Visitors
At this time, Yunzhou.

One thousand six hundred boxes of water purification tablets have been divided into two batches and shipped to the capital.

The remaining four hundred boxes will be transported to General Lu on the way back to Beijing.

This thing is crucial for marching and fighting and improving the strength of the entire army.

Li Heng naturally would not hand over everything to the other party, even though General Lu was his man now.

"Your Highness, everything has been counted and we can set off." Liu Zheng came to report.

"Okay." Li Heng nodded and walked up the wooden stairs to get into the carriage.

Things are different now. Those forces in Yunzhou that refused to cooperate and dared not sell grain are now in his hands.

After his work in disaster relief and epidemic prevention, his reputation among the people rose, but he also became a thorn in the side of the man in the capital.

Even if the envoy dared not speak out of fear for his own protection, that person would not remove the thorn in his heart.

That son originally liked the other son more, not to mention that the news that he met a master who helped him had already spread to the capital.

The day he doesn't go back, that person will feel uneasy.

The carriage was about to leave the city. When passing the entrance of the alley, Li Heng pulled the curtain inside the carriage and looked at the buildings that were gradually moving away.

He didn't know what he was thinking until he could no longer see the entrance to the alley. Then he put down his hand and sat back up.

Fortunately, I can still enter that shop when I arrive in the capital.

The carriage arrived at the city where General Lu was stationed the next day. Hearing that everyone would be dismissed and only the trusted deputy generals would be kept, General Lu was puzzled.

What did Your Highness bring that would be necessary for such a big event?

When Zhong Jing came in with a cardboard box and took out a white bottle from it, General Lu and his deputy were dumbfounded.

The bottle is very delicately made, and there is no leakage when the lid is closed. Moreover, this kind of bottle, which has never been seen before, is not afraid of falling.

"This is called a water purification tablet. It was given to me by that elusive master."

Zhong Jing asked Liu Zheng to take out his glass bottle, and ignoring Liu Zheng's painful expression, he poured the slightly turbid river water into it.

Then, under the puzzled gazes of General Lu and his deputy general, he poured a water purification tablet into the water.

I saw the water purification tablets in the water began to bubble. Seeing this, General Lu was also amazed at the miracle.

"Can this really purify water? It looks like the water hasn't become clearer." He expressed his doubts again.

Zhong Jing went on to say, "Water purification tablets cannot remove floating impurities in the water, but after leaving it alone for half an hour, it can remove the invisible pathogens. To remove the impurities, you need to use charcoal and a clean cloth."

During wartime and on the march, it was not practical to boil water, and firewood and manpower could not be afforded. People had to drink river water and well water directly, and whether they got sick or not depended on luck.

General Lu looked carefully at the water that was no longer bubbling. Is this thing really that effective?

Thinking of the elixir his son used last time, he still had some faith in it.

The deputy general leaned over to smell it, and there was no strange smell. He took a small sip, and it seemed to be fine.

He specially went to find his nephew who had diarrhea the day before because of drinking raw water, and drank the water in one gulp.

This kid just came from the capital, and his body hasn't been fully trained yet. It will take a few hours to see whether it is useful or not.

Li Heng rested here for a night, and indeed, the deputy general's nephew was fine. That night, the deputy general found a few more people to try.

After seeing the benefits of this thing with his own eyes, General Lu found Li Heng early in the morning.

"Your Highness, can you get more of these water purification tablets?"

It seemed like a lot, but it was used up quickly, so of course he wanted to keep more for future use.

"This stuff is hard to come by. If we put all of it in one place and something goes wrong, we'll have nothing left. So we left some in Beijing so we can bring it back when we need it."

General Lu pondered over His Highness's words and felt that they made sense. It would be unsafe to keep all of them in one place.

However, he also knew that the distribution and use of such an important thing would be strictly controlled, so he didn't say anything else.

While the big client was on his way to the capital, Shen You had also finished framing the calligraphy that she had asked someone to install in the antique street. She brought it back and hung it on the wall, and the painting that Zhong Jing had traded was hung behind the tea table.

Afterwards, Shen You opened the express package, took out the tools, and started working under the desk lamp.

Before repairing a hairpin, you need to study the original craftsmanship so that you can repair it perfectly.

Shen You also has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. If something goes wrong, he would rather tear it down and start over than tolerate mistakes.

The silver wire originally used for the hairpin was very thin. She bought a similar one in the antique street, but it was too thin and would break if she wasn't careful.

This is a delicate job, and it took me several hours to finally fix one.

The whole afternoon passed, and when it was almost 7 o'clock, her cell phone suddenly rang. She thought it was a takeaway, but when she saw the caller ID, she didn't want to answer it.

She is her cousin's wife.

Shen You took a deep breath and answered the phone.

"Xiaoyou, have you eaten?" the other side greeted in a friendly manner.

"I'll eat right away." Shen You didn't want to waste time and asked directly, "What's the matter?"

"Nothing much. We're just going to drive to Jiangcheng tomorrow and arrive around six in the evening. Why don't we have dinner together? Your parents asked us to bring you something, so we can just deliver it to you."

Shen You frowned.

She really didn't want to meet them, but since her parents asked her to bring something, she couldn't not go.

No matter what, they couldn't let them know where her antique shop was.

When I told my parents about it, she had never been here before, so she said it was near the Antique Street.

Later I discovered that the store could date back to ancient times, and I dared not tell you the specific address.

"Sister-in-law, let's do this. You must be tired after three hours on the road. I'll book a restaurant and you can drive over directly to eat when the time comes." Shen You said.

"That's fine too. Send me the address tomorrow."

"it is good."

Shen You hung up the phone, went out to get the takeout, and only opened her phone to see if there were any suitable restaurants after dinner.

Although she went to school in Jiangcheng, she didn't like to go out and run around, and her familiarity with Jiangcheng was limited to a few specific areas.

The restaurant must be located far away from the store. It cannot be too expensive, nor too bad, otherwise these people will not know what to say when they go back.

She didn't care, but her parents still lived in the county, and the guarantee incident had already caused shame in her father's unit.

Finally, Shen You chose a restaurant serving Jiangcheng specialties in the commercial plaza in the city center.

It is about ten kilometers away from the store, which is very good.

I called to book a small private room and sent the address to my cousin's wife.

An Lifeng replied quickly, asking whether the restaurant was far from her shop and whether it was inconvenient for her to go there.

Shen You automatically ignored the first half of the sentence and typed: Convenient.

An Lifeng, holding the phone, felt relieved: That's good, see you tomorrow.

That makes sense. Since the girl doesn’t have a car, she probably won’t book a restaurant that’s too far away. After dinner, I can stop by her restaurant to take a look.

The relatives who gave Shen You the inheritance are also relatives of their family.

An Lifeng couldn't figure it out.

Shen You is just a little girl. When she gets married in the future, she will just become a luxury for someone else's family.

Why did she give the store to Shen You and not to her husband?

Although, I heard that the store is very old, it is still a house after all!
