Chapter 112
Xiaoruo rubbed her nose, feeling a little embarrassed, she never thought that her acting skills were so bad that someone would expose her on the spot.

But she was very interested in what the guys called the pavement dentist.

"Brother, I'm really interested in the shop money on your street. Please tell me, where is the shopkeeper?"

She simply had a showdown.

Seeing that the girl was not angry at being ridiculed by him, she even asked questions with a sincere face. It is not good for the guy to just drive her away now.

What's more, this girl has a pink face and peach cheeks, and she is pretty, and she is not like those wind media who are timid about inquiring about news every day.

The buddy who felt that he had guessed wrong calmed down, and patiently answered Xiaoruo's question.

"We have two specialized shopkeepers in East City. One is at the south gate of Tian'en Palace. His name is Meng Wangzhi. People call him Lord Meng."

"Meng Ye specializes in buying and selling or introducing large shops. There are many shops released by officials and adults. The location is good, the price is high, and he also takes a lot of money."

"There is another shopkeeper who is Qi Po. She lives in West City, but most of the private shop information in East City is in her hands. Private shops are not so particular. There are big and small shops, alleys. You can find those on the main street, even the shopfronts in the side rooms on the second floor."

From the clerk's narration, Xiaoruo understands that the shopkeeper is similar to a real estate agency, negotiating business, soliciting sales, accepting commissions, and getting a commission from it.

This is exactly what Xiaoruo needs most now. It is time-consuming to inquire about one store after another with a low success rate. With the presence of shopkeepers, she can find a suitable specialty store faster.

After asking the clerk about Qipo's specific address, Xiao Ruo planned to go to Qipo to ask if there was a suitable shop.

She definitely can't eat the shops of the government and big families, but the private shop owned by the seventh woman can still try.

Seventh Po's house is on Baima Street in West City. When you go to Baima Street and ask around a little, you can know which one is her house, because there is only a big mulberry tree planted at the door of her house.

There is also a saying in this world that "if you don't plant mulberries before, you won't plant willows later". Mulberry and mourning are homophonic. It is unlucky to plant mulberry trees in front of the house and see mulberry trees when you go out.

When I arrived at the door, I saw that the door of her house was closed tightly, and there was no feeling of a crowded market that a real estate agency should have in Xiaoruo's impression.

After knocking on the door three times, the wooden door creaked open with a gap about two feet wide. A little girl about six or seven years old stood behind the door, tilting her head and asking, "Who are you looking for?"

Xiaoruo bent down slightly, and said, "I'm looking for Seventh Po, is she at home?"

It seemed that the little girl was used to people coming to find Qipo. She skillfully opened the door completely and waved to her: "Grandma is here, come in."

Following the little girl into the gate and bypassing the screen wall, Xiaoruo discovered that there was a different world inside the inconspicuous gate.

Qipo is worthy of being one of the two big shopkeepers in Dongshi City. In Yingzhou, where every inch of land is expensive, her home is actually a courtyard with three entrances.

Pass through the hanging flower door, and enter the west wing along the corridor, and the little girl's crisp voice rang out: "Grandma, someone is looking for you."

The old woman sitting on the waist-tied arhat bed in the west wing raised her head and looked towards the door.

"Ninny, come here." She waved to the little girl.

The little girl obediently walked to her side, tilting her head and leaning on her knee.

After lovingly touching her granddaughter's little head, Qi Po looked at Xiaoruo and asked, "Do you have a business?"

Xiaoruo nodded, afraid that her old eyes would be blurry, so she walked a few steps forward, walked into the house from the door of the west wing, and said, "I'm here to see if there is a suitable shop, I want to rent one."

Looking in from outside the house, I feel that everything inside the house is shrouded in shadow and blurred.

It was only after Xiaoruo got to the room that she could clearly see the furnishings in the room and the Qi Po in the room.

It was completely different from what she had guessed, not only was Qi Po not old and dim-eyed, but her eyes were radiant and sharp like a mirror.

After looking Xiaoruo up and down, Qi Po bowed her head to smooth the broken hair on her little granddaughter's disobedient forehead, and said lightly, "You can't afford to rent a shop in Dongshi."

She has been a dentist for decades, and she can tell the financial resources of the other party at a glance.

Want to rent a shop in Dongshi?This girl doesn't have enough money.

"Mother-in-law, I didn't even mention my budget, how do you know I can't afford it?"

In order to send Xiao Zhao to the Imperial College, she specially put on a Luoyanlong Baidie skirt made of soft smoke, and the accessories on her body were also carefully selected.

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and her attire is quite bluffing, otherwise the clerk in the fan shop just now would not have sold her a pair of fans for 300 taels.

Seventh Po is too lazy to explain this, her time is precious, and she has no time to waste time with people who can't do business.

With a wave of her hand, Qi Po began to see off the guests.

"You go, old lady, I still have to make medicine for my daughter, I don't have time to entertain you."

As she got up, the little girl who was leaning on her knee also stood up, tilted her head and waved her hands to Xiaoruo as farewell.

If you just leave like this, it is almost impossible to find a suitable shop on your own, Xiaoruo said resolutely: "Qi Po, I sincerely want to rent a shop, can you..."

Qi Po interrupted her impatiently: "I can't! I told you that I'm going to decoct the medicine, the tortoise shell is hard to decoct! Don't delay my daughter's time to drink the medicine!"

Ignoring Xiaoruo after finishing speaking, Qi Po led the little girl who was still tilting her head, and walked across the courtyard to the back room.

It's not Xiaoruo's style to give up easily, she followed behind the two of them, wanting to see if there was another chance to persuade Qipo to find a shop for herself.

Qi Po was really in a hurry to decoct the medicine, and didn't bother to pay attention to the girl who was behind her. She just took out the medicine bag from the cabinet, opened it and counted everything.

She only has such a precious granddaughter, and she has to count every time she decocts medicines, and she can't use the wrong things to delay her granddaughter's illness.

Gastrodia elata, wolfberry, tortoise shell, stone cassia...

Xiaoruo, who was a step behind her, looked at the ratio of medicinal ingredients spread out on the table, and could probably guess the little girl's illness.

"Qi Po, is your granddaughter suffering from night sweats, dizziness, weakness of muscles and bones, guilt and forgetfulness?"

Qi Po, who was still concentrating on counting the medicinal materials just now, turned her head suddenly, and looked Xiaoruo from head to toe with her radiant eyes for a while, then bowed her head and counted the medicinal materials.

Xiaoruo, who didn't get a response, took a step forward and stood side by side with Qi Po at the table, watching her put the ordered herbs into the medicine pot.

Qipo just raised her eyelids and glanced at her move, and didn't let her leave.

When Qi Po picked up a piece of yellow and white nail and was about to put it into the medicine pot, Xiao Ruo stretched out her hand to hold the nail.

"This is tortoise shell, right? Qi Po, you just said that the tortoise shell is hard to cook, did you mean this?"

She has been curious since just now, why Qi Po said that tortoise shells are difficult to fry, it turns out that it is because she uses unprocessed tortoise shells directly into medicine.

"What are you doing!" Qi Po stretched out her hand to snatch the tortoise shell back from Xiaoruo.

This is the most important medicinal ingredient in her granddaughter's medicine, how can it be taken away by someone who has nothing to do with it.

Xiao Ruo pinched the tortoise shell and tapped it, then handed it back to the anxious Qi Po.

"Qi Po, you have used the wrong medicine. What you need is vinegar tortoise shell, not raw tortoise shell."
