The Rough Hunter’s Little Lucky Wife Chapter 300 Business

300 Business
“What happened?”
Yang Lizheng’s tobacco pipe was hanging on his waist, but he couldn’t care about it. “You’ll know when you see it. Where’s Doctor Sun? You must bring Doctor Sun along.”
Yue Jiaojiao cursed in her heart. Was someone poisoned?
“Zhao Zhan, you go first. I’ll take Doctor Sun and Lizheng to the workshop.”
Yue Jiaojiao nudged Zhao Zhan. “Hurry up and go take a look.”
Zhao Zhan glanced at her and did not delay any further. After reminding Yue Jiaojiao to pay attention to her safety, he broke into a run and rushed out.
“Jiaojiao, what’s going on?”
Li Miao rushed out when she heard Yang Lizheng’s heart-wrenching cough.
She turned around and noticed that Yang Lizheng was giving her a look.
“Li Miao, there’s a small problem with the pickle workshop. The sauce in a few jars is a little sour, and someone is waiting for the goods. We won’t make it in time for the next batch, so Lizheng asked us to go over and see what the problem is.
“Help me keep Madam Qin company this afternoon. I’ll go over and see what’s the reason.”
“Alright, don’t worry. I’ll let her know right away.”
Li Miao saw the serious look on Yue Jiaojiao’s face and did not dare to meddle in the matter. “If there’s anything you need help with, feel free to call Dashan.”
“Oh, I will.”
Yue Jiaojiao had Yang Lizheng wait for her outside the courtyard.
Before she could reach Doctor Sun’s room, he had already come out with a medicine box. “It was so loud that I heard it just now. I brought some commonly used medicinal herbs. Let’s go over and see what’s going on.”
“Sorry to trouble you again.”
“Saving the dying and healing the injured is something that I want to do.”
Doctor Sun was in front, Yue Jiaojiao followed behind, and with Yang Lizheng, the three of them hurried to the workshop.
“Lizheng, what’s wrong with the workshop?”
Even as she got closer, she didn’t hear any noise from the workshop. Yue Jiaojiao was puzzled. “Didn’t you just say that something happened to the workshop?”
“There was a group of western merchants that came.” Yang Lizheng was still a little scared when he thought about it. “This is the first time I’ve seen those people. They all looked really strange.
“I was just taking a look around the workshop today. Those merchants went to see what we were selling and tried it as usual. Who knew that one of them would fall to the ground holding his neck and gasping for breath after he tasted the chili sauce.
“It was terrifying! Those western merchants are in the room right now, saying that we killed their people!”
Western merchants?
Yue Jiaojiao hadn’t seen the scene yet, so she still maintained her composure. “Lizheng, I have two questions. First, how many of those merchants have tasted the chili sauce? The other question is, when you came to our house to find us, were you sure that the merchant on the ground was no longer breathing?”
“That’s why they’re making a scene!” Yang Lizheng was still a little scared when he thought about it. “The rest of them also tasted it and are still standing there. We don’t really understand what they’re saying. We don’t even know what they’re saying and they’re already making a scene.
“Also, the merchant who fell to the ground was surrounded by them. I didn’t get the chance to check if he was still alive.”
Yue Jiaojiao was already very close to the workshop.
“Lizheng, which room are they in?”
“On the East side.”
Yue Jiaojiao turned around and walked in the direction yang Lizheng was pointing.
When Zhao Zhan, who was standing inside, saw Yue Jiaojiao enter, he immediately squeezed through the crowd, walked over, and pulled her to his side to shield her.
“Zhao Zhan, what’s going on?”
The two groups of people in the room were clearly separated.
The westerners had beards that covered most of their faces. They all wore hats on their heads, and each of them was tall and burly. Even Zhao Zhan, who was already very strong in Willow Village, could only barely tie with them.
The moment they opened their mouths, they spoke in a language that Yang Lizheng did not understand.
“Jiaojiao.”
Doctor Sun looked at the person who was surrounded by them. His exposed skin was so red that it looked like it was about to ooze blood. “I’m a doctor. Let me take a look at him first.”
Doctor Sun pointed to himself and then to the medicine box, trying to make the other person understand his meaning.
“Please make way. The man on the ground has a typical allergic reaction. Let the doctor take a look at him first.”
The moment Yue Jiaojiao opened her mouth, she spoke in the standard western language.
Yang Lizheng was dumbfounded. “Zhao Zhan, your wife, she…”
A brawny man stood in the middle of the westerners. When he heard the contents of Yue Jiaojiao’s words, he gave her a look. Then, he waved his hand to signal for the people beside him to make way. He pointed at Doctor Sun and then at the person on the ground, gesturing for him to go over.
“You can understand what we’re saying?”
The woman in front of him was as thin as his thigh. Such a delicate woman was not even worthy of squeezing milk for sheep. She couldn’t even beat the children of their clan.
“Speak slower, I can more or less understand what you’re saying,” Yue Jiaojiao spoke at a moderate pace, stopping from time to time to think about how to pronounce the words before continuing, “There’s no problem with our chili sauce, but that person can’t eat chili. If you don’t believe me, you can let the others try again.”
After Yue Jiaojiao finished speaking, she leaned over to Zhao Zhan’s ear and repeated the meaning of their conversation.
She didn’t know the language of the westerners, but there weren’t enough books in the town’s bookstore for her to read, so Zhao Zhan often went to Huai County or asked someone to go to Hekou County to bring her some new books.
Yue Jiaojiao had learned their language from one of the travel books that was as thick as a brick.
“I’m Wagler, the head of my clansmen. Tell me, what is he saying?”
She had only learned it for fun back then, but she didn’t expect it to come in handy now.
Yue Jiaojiao glanced at Doctor Sun. “Doctor Sun, how is he?”
“It’s just as you said. He’s probably allergic to chili. Fortunately, there’s no rashes in his throat. I’ll give him some medicine later and he’ll be fine.”
When Yue Jiaojiao had nothing to do at home, she would usually discuss modern medicine with Doctor Sun.
Doctor Sun was a studious person. When he was enlightened, he could lock himself in his room for days and nights to experiment on prescriptions.
“Your man will be fine soon,” Yue Jiaojiao said calmly.
Her eyes were bright, as if all conspiracies and tricks could not be hidden in front of her.
“Wagler, you’ve come all the way from the Western regions. May I know who guided you here? What’s your true purpose in coming to our workshop?”
Yue Jiaojiao went straight to the point.
When Zhao Zhan, who was standing beside her, heard her tone, he subconsciously pulled her behind him and blocked her. He looked at her without fear.
Wagler raised his head and laughed, “What a smart woman. I’m here to talk business with you now, of course.”
