Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 180: License Checked While Driving on the Road
For the next two days, Chu Luo had not gone anywhere. She just wrote down the formula for beauty products at home.
After he finished writing the formula, he received an invitation from the President of the Metaphysical Society, Jin Hui.
Jin Hui told him by phone, “There is a seminar for our Metaphysical Society in the next two days. It will be held at the western temple of the city. At that time, there would be masters from all over the country coming to participate. Master Chu, are you interested in seeing it?”
Chu Luo was also very interested in the metaphysics of this world, so she agreed.
The two of them talked about where they would meet tomorrow and hung up.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Luo picked up the beauty formula and carried her backpack, intending to go out and buy the potion she needed.
He had walked to the door when Wu Yiyao called out to him.
Wu Yiyao was alone at home these past few days. He was a little bored and wanted to call Chu Luo to accompany him.
Chu Luo told him where he was going.
Wu Yiyao asked, “Little Chu, can I go with you?”
Chu Luo went to the largest herb market in the capital. It didn't matter if he brought Wu Yiyao, so he drove the car Li Yan had prepared to pick Wu Yiyao up.
Wu Yiyao was a little surprised that Chu Luo knew how to drive. “So Little Chu knows how to drive.”
“Of course.” Chu Luo smiled at him with a proud expression.
This made Wu Yiyao unable to help but laugh, but she still asked, “When Little Chu learned to drive?”
“When I go to US.”
“…”
Chu Luo tilted her head and glanced at Wu Yiyao who was suddenly silent, wondering if she was afraid.
Wu Yiyao showed no fear and simply asked, “Little Chu, do you have a SIM?”
“…”
This time, it was Chu Luo's turn to be silent.
Seeing his silence, Wu Yiyao laughed. “Perhaps we won't be able to get out of this way.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the road guard stopped them.
“It can't be that lucky,” Chu Luo muttered.
Wu Yiyao smiled and said, “You are a famous person now. Everyone's watching you. After seeing you, it's normal for them to want to make sure if it's you.”
“…”
Amidst Chu Luo's silence, the guard knocked on the window glass.
Chu Luo lowered the window glass and immediately revealed that friendly face. “Halo. Please show your credentials.”
Under Wu Yiyao's nervous gaze, Chu Luo calmly reached into her bag and took out her SIM.
After the guard on duty finished seeing the SIM, he returned it to her and immediately suggested with a smile, “Chu Luo, you only have your SIM for a while. The road ahead is a bit stuck. If you want to go downtown, you can take a detour around XX Road and XX Road.”
“Thank you, Police Uncle.”
“Sama-sama.”
“Uncle Police, my sister wants to go to the herbal medicine market to buy some tonic. May I know what route to take?”
“Then take YY Road and ZZ Road. Traffic on both roads was relatively light at the moment.”
“Good. Thank you, Police Uncle.”
Chu Luo rolled up the window after saying that. Before Wu Yiyao's bright gaze, she winked and drove the car out.
The guard saw the car driving away and sighed. “Good results, nice appearance, and good manners. Such a child indeed deserves to be a famous princess of the country. If only my girl was half as good as her.”
After the car drove for a while, Wu Yiyao took Chu Luo's SIM from the side and flipped through it for a bit. He asked in disbelief, “Little Chu, did you just imagine SIM?”
“Ya.”
“So, you don't need to get any more SIM?”
“Pfft. This SIM can't stand test.”
“…”
Wu Yiyao: “Alright.”
Chu Luo continued driving, wondering if she could get her SIM before school started.
Jamu market is located in the north of the city and close to the outer ring. It occupies more than 1,000 acres and is one of the largest and most complete herbal markets in the empire.
Chu Luo parked the car and walked to the market with Wu Yiyao.
Since it was the hottest time in July, there were not many people in the herbal medicine market at 3pm.
Wu Yiyao had been weak ever since he was young and had taken a lot of Chinese and Western medicine. As he walked, he looked at the herbal mountain range and said to Chu Luo, “It used to be that my time abroad had many medicinal herbs that had to be sent from China. Back then, I thought that herbs should be very expensive. I didn't expect the herbs here to be so cheap.”
“Not that herbal medicine is cheap, but it must be categorized. What we see now are all common herbs. Many of them are high yield, so cheap.”
“What medicine ingredients are more expensive?”
“Wild and rarest.”
“Like wild ginseng and lingzhi?”
“True.”
Their conversation happened to enter the ear of an ordinary-looking shopkeeper who was probably only 1.7 meters tall. However, his eyes sparkled. It was clear that he was an astute and calculative shopkeeper.
“Oh?” Chu Luo stopped and asked, “Then tell me what medicinal herbs you have here.”
The store owner actually mentioned more than a hundred types of herbs at once.
Wu Yiyao was stunned.
When Chu Luo heard this, she narrowed her eyes and said, “Bos, are you trying to deceive us? When the XX and XX potions were put together, they would produce powerful poisons and would also destroy the medicinal properties of other medicines. Usually, those who know this will not sell both of these drugs at once. You reported it without blinking. You must have memorized many lists of medicinal plants, right?”
Even though Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao were wearing masks, they were still very attractive. In just a short time, many people had gathered around them.
When those people heard Chu Luo's words, they quickly took out their phones to investigate. They discovered that what Chu Luo said was true. Everyone started pointing at the shop owner.
The shopkeeper was a little angry at being appointed, so he straightened his neck and said, “Omong blank what are you saying? What does a young woman like you know? If you want to buy herbs, buy them. If not, then go.”
“How can you be like this? You were the one who stopped us just now.” Wu Yiyao was a little angry and wanted to argue with the store owner.
Chu Luo pulled Wu Yiyao back. “Sister, why are you arguing with him? It is obvious that shop owners like this like to cheat people. We will not buy from his shop.”
As soon as the two of them left, the surrounding people continued to point to the shop owner. Someone even said that he wanted to expose his shop.
The shopkeeper became angry from being humiliated and chased them away.
After the crowd dispersed, the boss' anger had yet to subside. He came in, pulled out his phone, and called.
When the call was successful, the store owner said, “F*ck! Just now, two women came to my place to find trouble and scare away all my customers. Ask someone to teach them a lesson. They wear masks, white dresses, and green sweatshirts.”.
......................
Chu Luo and Wu Yiyao continued walking forward.
There are stalls and shops in this market.
Chu Luo looked at them for a while before entering the large shop with Wu Yiyao.
There were still customers in the store, and the staff comforted them. The shopkeeper was a gentle man in his thirties who was wearing a Tang suit. At this moment, he was sitting behind a desk and typing on his computer.
When the two of them entered, the shopkeeper did not even look up. “Guests, take your time. If you see something that catches your attention, you can contact me.”
Wu Yiyao looked at the owner and said to Chu Luo in a low voice, This “Bos is too relaxed. Wasn't he worried that the guests would leave immediately if no one comforted them?”
“It means confident boss.”
“Eh?”
“You can accidentally buy fake or half fake herbs if you are not careful. Only those who are confident will not worry about those who know their stuff go.”
Chu Luo unintentionally lowered her voice. When the shopkeeper heard this, he finally looked up.
“You bought what, Mistress?”
Chu Luo walked over to the counter and asked, “I don't want many potions for now, but there are many types that I want. I wonder if Boss has this potion here?”
After saying that, he took out a dozen pieces from his backpack and handed them to him.
The store owner took the list and looked at it carefully for a while. After reading it, he looked at her in surprise. “There are two herbs you are looking for that are very rare. If you want it, I can order it here, but you have to pay the deposit first.”
“I can pay the deposit, but Boss, you have to make sure the quality of the watch.”
“Don't worry, Miss. Since I can open a store of that size, there is no way my watch is substandard.”
“Good. You can give me whatever you have in your store today. I'll order the rest.”
“Alright, wait a minute. I'll go to the warehouse to collect herbs.”
After saying that, the shopkeeper stood up, took his order, and turned around to go behind the shutter door.
After the store owner entered, Wu Yiyao approached Chu Luo and asked gently, “Little Chu, what list is that? Why do you need so many herbs?”
Chu Luo whispered to him, “For beauty products.”
Wu Yiyao immediately understood and did not ask any further.
While the two of them were waiting for the owner, Chu Luo's phone suddenly rang.
It was from Tang Zhiyun.
Tang Zhiyun went to make an internal machine for a company today. Thinking that he had not seen Chu Luo in a few days, he called out to her and asked what she would do next.
Chu Luo told him, “I bought herbs at the herbal medicine market in the north of the city. I have something to do next.”
Tang Zhiyun said with a smile, “It just so happened. I'm also north of town. You're in the biggest herbal market, aren't you? Have you bought a lot of herbs? Let me help you with that.”
It is futile not to use free labor. Chu Luo said easily, “Come.”
After hanging up the phone, the two of them waited for more than ten minutes before the store owner took out all the herbs that Chu Luo wanted inside the bag.
“How much is this herbal medicine?” Chu Luo took out her wallet.
The shop owner does not count the money. Instead, he smiled and asked, “No need to rush. I heard from Miss that you only want this much for now. Do you want more in the future?”
Chu Luo did not expect the shopkeeper to be so observant and not hide anything. “Yes, I will confirm whether your potion can make what I need first.”
“Nona, can you tell me how much you want if you still need it?”
“Number of herbs in your store definitely not enough.”
The shop owner laughed. “Alright, take this potion as a gift for you, Miss. You can go back and try it. If the effect of the medicine is to your liking, you are welcome to come and buy it again. If it is not to your liking, you can go to another store.”
After saying that, he took out a business card from the counter drawer and gave it to her. “This is my business card. My name is Chen Xuan. I have a library of medicinal herbs outside the city. I can provide as many as you want.”
Chu Luo took the business card and nodded at him.
