Chapter 1613: Start negotiations
Since Ye Chen planned to go to Yanjing on April 3rd, he greeted his family, only saying that a wealthy family in Yanjing invited him to look at the Feng Shui of their ancestral graves for the Qingming Festival, so he had to leave two days early.
Ye Chen had already greeted Xiao Churan about this matter, so the family didn't feel surprised.
Anyway, it was common for Ye Chen to go out to look at Feng Shui, so Xiao Churan only instructed him to take care of himself and return early.
Gu Qiuyi, who was far away in Yanjing, and the family of three, Gu Yanzhong and Lin Wanqiu, had long been planning Ye Chen's visit to the capital.
At lunch, Gu Yanzhong said to his wife and daughter, "It's already the 2nd today. I guess Chen'er should be coming to Yanjing tomorrow."
After speaking, he asked Gu Qiuyi, "Nannan, did you ask when Chen'er will arrive? How is the accommodation arranged after he comes?"
Gu Qiuyi said subconsciously, "Dad, I don't think Ye Chen brother will come tomorrow. He is actually not very compatible with the Ye family. I think he will come on the 4th at the earliest. After participating in the ancestral rites on the 5th, I guess he will be in a hurry to go back."
Gu Yanzhong shook his head and said seriously, "The Ye family's ancestral rites are very grand, and there are many tedious details in between. Therefore, the day before the ancestral rites begin, which is the 4th, the Ye family members must sit together and spend a whole day sorting out and confirming all the processes. Based on this time node, Chen'er will definitely come tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Gu Qiuyi said happily, "Really? That's great! I'll call Ye Chen brother now and ask him! This time, I must let him stay at our house!"
Gu Qiuyi immediately took out her phone and called Ye Chen.
At this time, Ye Chen had just finished lunch and was preparing to drive out.
Xiao Churan was busy with company affairs and didn't come back at noon. Ye Chen was worried that his spiritual energy was severely depleted, and there were a group of people from the Cataclysmic Front waiting for him in Yanjing, so he planned to refine the Peiyuan Pill before going to Yanjing.
Refining Peiyuan Pill requires three main medicinal materials.
The first is ambergris over ten thousand years old.
This thing is the hardest to get, but Ye Chen already has it.
This is all thanks to the murderous Xuan Fengnian invited by Su Chengfeng. This thing is a treasure he cherished with him.
Besides that, it also needs thousand-year-old snow ginseng, as well as thousand-year-old ganoderma.
Among them, the thousand-year-old snow ginseng is the most precious.
Because snow ginseng only grows in cold regions, there is only output in the Changbai Mountain and Greater Khingan Range areas in the country, and usually, even hundred-year-old snow ginseng is not seen, so thousand-year-old snow ginseng is simply priceless.
However, a long time ago, Wei Liang of the Wei family sent the thousand-year-old snow ginseng that his mother's family had passed down to Ye Chen, and he had always cherished it without using it.
As for thousand-year-old ganoderma, it is not difficult to get.
Although ganoderma is also a rare treasure in Chinese medicine, ganoderma and ginseng are completely different species.
Ganoderma is basically a fungus, a relative of mushrooms and wood ears, and it is widely distributed in nature. It is basically everywhere in deep mountains and old forests.
Moreover, no one cares about ganoderma in the mountains. Many people dig ginseng in the mountains, but it is rare to see people digging ganoderma. This is mainly because ganoderma is not difficult to cultivate artificially and grows very fast.
Precisely because ganoderma is easy to breed and has high yield, there are many ganoderma-based Chinese medicine products on the market. Whether it is medicinal materials or so-called spore powder, they are already everywhere, and the annual market demand is huge.
If the same routine were used to package snow ginseng, I'm afraid that even if all the snow ginseng in the three northeastern provinces were dug out, it might not be enough for the market's demand for a year.
Ye Chen just mentioned it to Qin Gang before, and Qin Gang found several thousand-year-old ganoderma for him, each larger than a washbasin.
And other auxiliary medicinal materials could also be obtained from Qin Gang, so Ye Chen had him arrange for someone to send all the medicinal materials he needed over.
Because there are many types and quantities of medicinal materials needed for Peiyuan Pill, when refining it, just quenching the essence of the medicine is comparable to boiling a large pot of Chinese medicine.
What's more, there is ambergris, a medicinal material with a very strong fragrance. With it, I'm afraid the taste will be even richer.
Ye Chen was afraid that the smell of the medicinal materials would be too strong to explain to his family, so he took the ambergris and the thousand-year-old snow ginseng and prepared to go to the Xiangxieli Hot Spring Villa in the suburbs that Chen Zekai gave him to refine the pills.
That place is a detached villa on the hillside, separated from the neighbors by hundreds or thousands of meters, so it is quieter and more confidential.
As for the other medicinal materials he needed, he had already asked Qin Gang to send them to the gate of Tomson Yipin. He would drive out in a while, take the medicinal materials, and then go to the Xiangxieli Hot Spring Villa.
And just as he drove out, he received a call from Gu Qiuyi. Gu Qiuyi asked happily on the other end of the phone, "Ye Chen brother, my dad said you are coming to Yanjing tomorrow?"
Ye Chen was a bit surprised and said, "How did Uncle Gu know? I do plan to set off tomorrow, but there are still some things to do, so I haven't decided when to set off tomorrow, so I didn't greet you, Uncle Gu, and Aunt Lin. I wanted to wait until it was decided before telling you."
Gu Qiuyi giggled, "My dad guessed it so accurately! He said you would definitely come tomorrow!"
As she spoke, Gu Qiuyi added, "Ye Chen brother, if you come tomorrow, stay at our house! Mom and Dad miss you very much!"
"Okay." Ye Chen smiled slightly, "I already promised Uncle Gu to stay at your house anyway. Besides, I'm not very compatible with the Ye family, so staying at your house is just right for some peace and quiet!"
"That's great!" Gu Qiuyi said without hesitation, "Ye Chen brother, tell me after you decide on tomorrow's itinerary, and I'll pick you up at the airport!"
Ye Chen hurriedly said, "No need to be so troublesome. I'll go there myself tomorrow. Anyway, I've been there before and know the way, so I can find the door."
"How can that be!" Gu Qiuyi said unquestioningly, "You are a distinguished guest of our family, how can I let you come by yourself! Just like last time, I'll pick you up at the airport. It's settled! Tell me after you decide on the takeoff time. If you dare not tell me, I won't talk to you! You decide for yourself!"
"Alright, alright, alright." Ye Chen smiled helplessly, "Since you've said so, then I'll trouble you to pick me up at the airport tomorrow."
Gu Qiuyi said excitedly, "It's no trouble, no trouble! If you are willing to come every day, I am willing to pick you up at the airport every day!"
Ye Chen smiled, "Okay, then it's settled. I'll tell you after I decide on the takeoff time. See you at the airport tomorrow."
Gu Qiuyi said happily, "Okay! See you at the airport tomorrow!" ===== CHAPTER 1614 =====
