Chapter 18: On the importance of having a thick skin

After a dinner, the host and the host enjoyed themselves. The next morning, Gu Tang took care of his personal hygiene and showed up in the hall downstairs with his wheelchair.
Seeing Gu Tang appearing, Ming Wuxiang looked like he was accustomed to, calling him over for breakfast.
"Breakfast is steamed buns with soy milk, I don't know if it suits your taste." When Grandpa was there, their breakfast was very simple, steamed buns with soy milk, or one more boiled egg. The steamed buns are homemade, and the soy milk is also homemade.
"I'm not picky about eating." Gu Tang said with a smile to Ming Wuxiang. As for picky eaters, I really didn't pick them. Ming Wuxiang, who had had dinner with him once, pushed the buns and soy milk in front of Gu Tang.
Ming's family doesn't have the habit of not eating and sleeping. While eating breakfast, Ming Wuxiang briefly told Gu Tang about his today's arrangements.
He is going to the flower market today, and if things go well, he can be back before the afternoon. In Gu Tang's situation, it is not suitable to go out. At the same time, letting him stay at home alone is not very reassuring, so I told Gu Tang that I have found someone to come with him today.
That person need not ask, of course it is Li Jiahua. Li Jiahua's culinary skills make do, and he will never do dark dishes to poison Gu Tang.
Looking for Li Jiahua to accompany Gu Tang, Ming Wuxiang actually has his own selfishness. Ming Wuxiang hasn't forgotten that Li Jiahua's goal in this small future is to be an excellent businessman. Today, there is this President Gu by the side, but it is a bit embarrassing to come to steal the teacher.
Gu Tang didn't know Ming Wuxiang's mind and had no objection to his arrangement.
"Li Jiahua's kid is a bit lively. He probably doesn't know you, so do you understand?" Ming Wuxiang didn't make it clear, but Gu Tang, who was sitting next to him, nodded wisely.
"I understand." Gu Tang knew better than Ming Wuxiang what to say and what to say.
"By the way, if Li Jiahua asks any weird questions, don't worry about him."
Li Jiahua's temperament is good or not, but he is a bit dizzy. When I got together with Yi Xing, the amusement made people want to draw them both. In Gu Tang's capacity, he probably wouldn't have been in contact with a person with a convulsive personality, so he touched his nose without a trace, and gave him a vaccination first.
Gu Tang just smiled and said nothing. He is not a dumb person, as soon as he looks at the incomprehensible attitude, he knows that this man named Li Jiahua has a very close relationship with him, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
Regarding Li Jiahua, Gu Tang temporarily put it aside. Anyway, when he sees someone, he has his own comment. At this time, he is more concerned about another matter.
"Are you buying land?"
Yesterday Ming Wuxiang did not hide it. Hearing his dialogue with the old village chief, it is not difficult to guess Ming Wuxiang plans to buy land. Although I don’t know how big the land he bought, the price of land in Yanhuang Kingdom is not affordable for ordinary people. Up.
Although the contact time is short, Gu Tang can see that Ming Wuxiang is not like someone with money who can afford land.
Next, I will live with Gu Tang for a period of time. It is impossible to hide the land purchase from him. At the same time, Ming Wuxiang doesn’t think there is anything to hide, and nodded,
Yes, I’m going to give the small hill behind my house to Buy it."
After Gu Tang nodded, the brain of the future business tycoon quickly started to work, and then he spoke to Ming Wuxiang, "Is there anything I can do for help?"
Gu Tang couldn't help much with other matters, but he was still able to help with money and power. Even if he couldn't contact his family, he could only help Ming Wuxiang by his own ability.
He clearly accepted the kindness of Gu Tang, but it was his own business. Even if he saved Gu Tang, he would not bother him in this regard.
"No, the contract has already been signed. Today, I will not only dispense medicines for you, but also pay for the land." As for the subsequent review, Ming Wuxiang doesn’t have to worry about it. Koyama will only change some. The whole place will not change, plus it is used to grow medicinal materials, and the state still has subsidies in this regard.
In Yanhuang State, companies or individuals that grow food and medicinal materials are inclined to policies, which is a good thing for Ming Wuxiang.
Hearing that Ming Wuxiang had dealt with the matter almost, Gu Tang nodded and did not speak any more, but he thought about who should say hello to Ming Wuxiang, so that Ming Wuxiang's business could be settled more quickly.
After the two had finished their breakfast, when Ming Wuxiang was clearing the dining table, a noise comparable to the noise came from the courtyard.
"Master Dao, I'm here too!"
Someone's lion roar made Ming Wuxiang almost slipped out the plate in his hand, silently turning his head to look at Gu Tang, who was smiling calmly. After meeting Gu Tang's gaze, he smiled at him, put down the dishes in his hands, and walked quickly outside the house.
As soon as he opened the gate of the yard, before Li Jiahua showed his row of shiny little white teeth, he was patted on the back of the head by Ming Wuxiang, "I'm looking for a convulsion, it started early in the morning."
Li Jiahua chuckled, "Isn't it just curiosity?"
Ming Wuxiang’s visitor came, Li Yangxin told Li Jiahua, in fact, even if Ming Wuxiang didn’t look for him today, Li Jiahua would make an excuse to come here to see if Mr. Gu, who was praised by his uncle, is round or flat.
"Okay, stop teasing. Don't you want to be a big boss in the future, now, the one inside." Ming Wuxiang didn't say straight, raised his eyebrows with Li Jiahua, and then raised a thumb.
When Li Jiahua heard it, before he had time to wonder how Ming Wuxiang knew his goal, he was taken away by the meaning of his words. Yesterday, my uncle said that Mr. Gu's family is in business. And don’t look at that Mr. Gu’s young age, his business is definitely not small.
As the village head of Luoye Village, Li Yangxin has some insights into dealing with outsiders. So the compliment to Gu Tang made the listening Li Jiahua feel sour.
However, Li Jiahua was sour and sour, and his mentality was quickly corrected. In addition, he is now sending a small to create such a good opportunity, Li Jiahua is not stupid, how can he not know how to hurry up.
With one hand on Ming Wuxiang's shoulder, he said in a low voice: "Thank you, my brother, I will remember your old kindness!"
"Let's go." Ming Wuxiang rolled his eyes when he was making fun of someone, and slapped Li Jiahua's face on his body.
When Ming Wuxiang looked up, he saw that Gu Tang didn't know when he appeared at the entrance of the hall, looking at them with deep eyes.
Ming Wuxiang always felt that Gu Tang's eyes were deep at this time.
Without waiting for Ming Wuxiang to understand, Li Jiahua, who was covered in his face, didn't care at all about making a fool of himself in front of the guests. When he saw Gu Tang at the entrance of the hall, he approached with enthusiasm.
"Are you Mr. Gu? Hello, hello, and welcome to Luoye Village. My name is Li Jiahua. It's Xiaoxiang and his hair."
Gu Tang glanced over Ming Wuxiang before turning to Li Jiahua, who had a very enthusiastic attitude, and replied with a lovely smile: "Hello, since you are a friend of Wuxiang, you told me Mr. Gu to be too far-sighted. ."
"Then I'll call you Brother Gu. As soon as I saw Brother Gu, it was just like my uncle said, Zhilan Yushu, handsome and extraordinary. Oh, forgot to say, my uncle is the head of Luoye Village." As for last night. It’s not like that, no one cares. Anyway, the world wears a lot of clothes, and doesn’t wear it.
"The old village chief praised it."
Ming Wuxiang, who was following Li Jiahua, saw the two people talk with such enthusiasm, especially Li Jiahua, who was a model of directly hitting snakes and sticks. It was only the first time that he met, even Gu Ge called out. When Ming Wuxiang said that he was speechless, he had to give this guy a thumb.
No loss is to start from a small sales, and then become the boss of a company with a registered capital of tens of millions. This mouth is not comparable to ordinary people.
Seeing that the two people seemed to be talking too much on topics, Ming Wuxiang could only cough to interrupt, "Ahem, time is almost up, I'm going out first, I'm bothering Jiahua today."
"It's okay, Dao, Brother Gu is on my body, and you are busy with you first." Li Jiahua said, while giving Ming Wuxiang an OK sign where Gu Tang didn't see it.
Li Jiahua still understands his abilities. He nodded, turned his head and nodded to Gu Tang with a faint smile, "I'm going out first, let Jiahua call me if I have something to do." Gu Tang didn't even know that he lost his cell phone. Where to go? Yesterday Ming Wuxiang forgot to buy him a cell phone. Today I went to the flower market and bought a cell phone by the way, so that it would be more convenient for Gu Tang to contact him.
"it is good."
After Ming Wuxiang explained, he turned around and walked to the pharmacy on the first floor. When he came out, he carried a backpack on his back. The backpack was used as a cover. The century-old ginseng was still in the white jade space of Mingwuxiang.
Ming Wuxiang, who walked out of the house, looked at the sky in a daze while walking, hoping that Li Jiahua's boy would not be bullied by Gu Tang. But to learn technology, how can it be done without paying a little price.
Thinking of this, Ming Wuxiang left the two in the family behind.
Ming Wuxiang went out to pick the time specially. When he walked to the entrance of the village, he only waited five minutes to see the bus bound for the flower market.
Although it was the National Day holiday, there was no traffic jam on the road. After Ming Wuxiang came out of the Flower Market Station, he raised his hand and called a taxi to the medicine street.
This time, there was only Ming Wuxiang alone, and the speed of walking to the pharmacy of Lao Qi was not small. During the National Day, the shops on the medicine street were still open.
Ming Wuxiang bought medicinal materials once and then came several times, so the folks in the pharmacy recognized him. When he saw Ming Wuxiang appeared, he immediately greeted with a smile: "Happy Holidays, Master Ming is here to find the shopkeeper. Is it?"
Regarding the name Ming Shao, Ming Wuxiang can only acquiesce in a dumbfounded way. At least it is better than seeing a man called a handsome guy and a woman called a beauty.
"Happy holidays, little brother, is Uncle Seven here?" Ming Wuxiang smiled and nodded with the guy.
"Yes, Mingshao wait a minute." The guy enthusiastically led Ming Wuxiang to the guest seat, and then walked quickly to the inner room.
Ming Wuxiang had just taken a sip of the herbal tea delivered by another guy, and he saw the figure walking out of the store. Today, not only Lao Qi was in the store, but the old man who had friendship with Grandpa Ming also happened to be in the store. Hearing the dude's explanation that nothing was coming, he came out together for two days.
"Grandpa Jiang?" Ming Wuxiang saw the rosy-faced, kind-looking old man standing up from his seat in surprise.
The old man is Jiang Muyun, from the Jiang family of the four top giants, but he is not a direct line, but a side line, and he has an old friendship with Grandpa Ming.
"Xiaoxiang, you kid, why don't you see Grandpa Jiang and me for so long." When Jiang Muyun saw Ming Wuxiang, he immediately observed it carefully. As a doctor, he is still a well-known Chinese medicine doctor who can learn from people. The physical condition of the opponent can be seen in his face.
Seeing that the child Ming Wuxiang had a flushed face and a steady breath, he breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. The sudden death of the old man caused the shock to Ming Wuxiang's child. He didn't know, but he didn't know how to comfort him. Now that Ming Wuxiang recovered by himself, the smile on Jiang Muyun's face softened a bit.
"Isn't you busy studying before? Today, I will come to see Grandpa Jiang and Uncle Qi." Ming Wuxiang smiled and pleased.
"You kid." How could Jiang Muyun and the others not know that Ming Wuxiang is behaving good, Jiang Muyun would appear in the drugstore today and didn't tell outsiders at all. How could Ming Wuxiang come over to see him when he knew.
Jiang Muyun laughed and cursed, and shifted the topic to the study of Ming Wuxiang. I have to say that as long as they are elders, they seem to be keen to ask the learning questions of younger generations.
After hearing Ming Wuxiang say that his goal is to enter the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Yanhuang University, he excitedly raised his hand and patted Ming Wuxiang's shoulder, "Good job, Xiaoxiang has aspirations." Jiang Muyun knew the old man's wish, and now he heard it. How can you be unhappy with an unrecognizable goal.
"Now there are less than two weeks before the exam, you can work harder, Yanhuang University is not so easy to enter." Jiang Muyun, who was over excited, did not forget to say a few words to Ming Wu, but he did not give Ming Wu. Just let him do his best.
If it weren't for Yanhuang University to not allow the back door, Jiang Muyun would like to say hello to the old folks in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
After talking about the relationship, Jiang Muyun remembered that he had heard from the buddy that Wuxiang was looking for Lao Qi, and asked concerned: "You came to Lao Qi today, did you encounter something?" The Lao Qi on the side was also concerned. Looked over.
Ming Wuxiang touched his nose, and said with a little embarrassment: "There is something to find Uncle Qi. Don't worry, Grandpa Jiang, I'm not in trouble."
Jiang Muyun and Lao Qi knew about Ming Wuxiang's character. It seemed that something happened to him. The three of them did not continue outside, leading Ming Wuxiang to the room they had been in two days ago.
When he walked to the room, Old Qi closed the door, Ming Wuxiang did not continue to talk nonsense, put the backpack he was carrying on his lap, opened the zipper, and used the backpack as a cover when neither of them noticed. Take out the ginseng placed in the white jade space.
Ginseng is placed in a simple wooden box. This is a tool specially customized by Grandpa Ming to hold some medicinal materials like ginseng.
Jiang Muyun and Old Qi didn't know how Ming Wuxiang took out a wooden box, but they recognized the wooden box. With a puzzled look, he took the wooden box in Ming Wuxiang's hand.
Without waiting for the two to ask questions, Ming Wuxiang directly said, "Grandpa Jiang, open it and take a look."
Not to mention Jiang Muyun, Lao Qi frowned slightly, but he followed Ming Wuxiang's instructions and opened the wooden box.
When the two of them saw what was in the wooden box, they couldn't help taking a breath.
"this is?!"
