82_82370 Back at Bai Laoju, Shopkeeper Chen and they hadn't come back yet, and Erya didn't wait, so he rode his horse and went to Chunlintang Pharmacy.

Although the weather in March is pleasant and pleasant, it is easy to get sick from the hot and cold temperatures. There are a lot of people in the pharmacy waiting in line to see a doctor, but there are very few people in front of the medicine counter next to it.

For 5,000 years, all ordinary people have a common disease, that is, there is no big deal with the disease, and the usual situation is to carry it to death, and those who can not take medicine basically will not buy medicine to eat. Therefore, there are very few people who see a doctor and buy medicine, the doctor in the hall is too busy, and the medicine grabbing guy at the counter is idle to doze off.

Erya carried a bag containing a bottle of milk powder and went directly into the backyard of the medicine hall, and the guy saw that it was an acquaintance and Erya did not stop him. The open space in the backyard is full of dustpans for drying medicinal herbs, and Zhao's shopkeeper is bending over the old man's waist to dry the herbs on the dustpan one by one.

Erya greeted the shopkeeper Zhao while walking over: "Uncle Zhao, are you busy drying herbs?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhao turned his head to see that it was Erya, continued the matter in hand, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you busy with at home?" ”

"Hey! There are a lot of miscellaneous things at home, if you really want to say something, there is really no way to list them all. Erya spoke, looking at the different medicinal materials on each dustpan, they have all seen it, but unfortunately they can't name it. But one of them smelled like mint.

Erya bent down and reached out to grab two or three mint leaves, rubbing them with her hands, the cool fragrance of the mint became more and more intense, and she exclaimed excitedly: "Uncle Zhao, this is mint!" Do you grow your own or do you harvest someone else's? ”

Shopkeeper Zhao rolled his eyes and looked at Erya: "Picked by others, sell it here." This thing is everywhere, who would grow this specifically?! That is, you, you don't know what to think in your brain all day long!? What's so good about coming today? ”

Er Ya didn't care about Zhao's shopkeeper's unscrupulous demeanor towards him. threw away the mint that was kneaded by himself in his hand, picked up the bag on the ground, shook it in front of Zhao's shopkeeper, and said diaoly: "Of course, I won't come without good things!" ”

Shopkeeper Zhao had almost finished turning over a few medicinal materials that needed to be turned over, straightened his waist, and stretched out his hand to Erya. Erya knew that he was going to take out what he had brought. He shook his head and said, "Uncle Zhao, you go and wash your hands first." This is food, and it must not be unclean in the slightest. ”

"It's just you!" Shopkeeper Zhao expressed his dissatisfaction, but he turned around and went to the kitchen to wash his hands without objection.

Erya was washing his hands in Zhao's shopkeeper. Entered the living room of the guest and took out several porcelain bottles containing milk powder in his bag. As soon as Shopkeeper Zhao came in, Erya opened the cork of one of the bottles and poured out a little white milk powder on the palm of Shopkeeper Zhao.

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the white milk powder suspiciously. "What is this?" he asked. ”

Erya pretended to answer mysteriously: "You smell it, and then put it in your mouth to eat!" ”

Zhao's shopkeeper did so. Then came the shouts of surprise: "This is cow's milk?" Oh my mother! How did you do that? ”

Erya looked up proudly, "How is it?" Is it a good thing? ”

Shopkeeper Zhao nodded several times in a row, "Count!" That's too much. Is this intended to be sold? ”

"Yes! However, I don't want to make money with this. I don't want to be looked down upon by others. I guess the normal price of a bottle is one tael of silver, and my main sales target is babies without breast milk! You have met many people, who are really difficult in life. You can see it at a glance, so I want you to give it a palm. If you have a difficult family and are not breastfed, you can sell half and give it away. ”

Shopkeeper Zhao shook his head and said, "You are half selling and half giving, and the really poor people can't afford it." What kind of amount do you think 500 wen is in a poor family?! That's the living expenses of a large family for two or three months. Really poor people only eat brown rice for four or five dollars a pound, and only have two porridges a day. How can such a person be willing to buy 500 yuan of milk for their children? ”

Erya blinked, and the original enthusiasm in her heart was gone. But she still retorted unconvinced: "It's not like you eat this three times a day, this is just a necessary nutritional supplement for the baby's body, and you only need to eat one meal a day." Besides, if there really is such a poor family, I can give it for free. ”

Shopkeeper Zhao replied to her helplessly: "Okay!" I understand what you mean, but you don't have much milk, I'm afraid that people will come to ask for it twice, and you won't have to give it. Moreover, I also have to remind you that you can not make money, but don't give it away for nothing at every turn, if it becomes a habit, your business will not be able to do it in the future. Even my pharmacy often has an indefinite amount of credit, but there is absolutely no money that is clearly not needed. ”

Erya was ashamed, lowered her head and admitted her mistake, "Uncle Zhao, I'm sorry!" I don't know how to pretend to understand, so I make you laugh. In this way, these bottles are placed here, and you can do it! It's up to you to decide how much to sell and to whom. At present, there are still few cows in my family, and there is definitely not much supply, but when I plan to let Xiaohu go to the grassland, let him teach the people over there to make zuò milk powder, and then there will be a steady supply of milk powder to our Zhongyuan, I think that at that time, the children of poor families may be able to eat milk powder. ”

Shopkeeper Zhao shook his head with a smile, "You kid! What does it have to do with me, and apologize to me? Just put this milk here with me, I know what to do. But you'll have to tell me how much this bottle will cost, and I'll be able to set a reasonable price then. ”

Erya calculated according to the milk, labor, and feeding required to make zuò milk powder, and put the cost price on the basis of 500 yuan.

The matter of milk powder was solved, and Erya took some toothpaste, toothbrushes, medicated soap and some medicines that needed to be kept at home and went to the Hongxiu embroidery room.

During the busy farming season in March, the business of the embroidery shop was a little cold. When Erya arrived, Shopkeeper Zhang was sitting behind the counter dozing, Erya was familiar with the two Xiaoer were chatting together, and Xiaomei was sitting in the corner embroidering a one-foot square embroidery.

When the three of them saw Erya enter the door, the chatter hurriedly closed his mouth, and the embroiderer hurriedly put the needle and thread aside, and walked over to Erya at the same time.

"Hello Mrs. Wang!" "Mrs. Wang is here!" "Welcome!" The greeting of the three woke up the shopkeeper, and he rubbed his eyes. looked at Erya and said, "The little lady of the Wang family is here?!" ”

"Hmmm! Uncle Zhang, is this a spring sleepy? Erya responded and asked rhetorically, which was regarded as greeting the shopkeeper Zhang.

Shopkeeper Zhang replied in a nasal voice: "Alas! When you get older, you just can't do it, and you fall asleep when you sit. Then he asked, "Mrs. Wang delivered the goods?" ”

"Oh no! I just stopped by to see you. ”

"Oh!" After a while, the shopkeeper seemed to remember something very important, so he slapped his thigh and shouted, "Oops! You're just in time, I'll sue you! A few days ago, someone came to our owner and said that he wanted to partner with us to open a clothing workshop. But it was rejected by my host. I just wanted to tell you! Is someone trying to knock on your business? ”

"Ahh Is there such a thing? Erya was a little surprised. But I don't think there is any surprise in this, she has been able to do it for so many years without anyone coming to get a piece of the pie, she really has to thank the businessmen here for their kindness. This thing that has been expected by himself has finally come. It's just that it feels different from what I imagined!

Erya followed up and asked, "Male or female?" ”

The shopkeeper replied: "One man and two women, one woman is talking about things, and the other man and woman are standing aside and accompanying them, and they have not spoken." ”

Erya pondered. This time, someone is really going to share this piece of cake, but there is no shadow of her knitting machine yet! Can that craftsman surnamed Jin come here!? It's a slow pace that kills people!

Er Ya didn't say goodbye to the shopkeeper Zhang and left. didn't say that in the future, if their own things were not sold on consignment in the Hongxiu embroidery room, people had just pushed so much temptation for her favor, but on her side, she said in turn to stop selling goods here, and she couldn't do it with her current psychology. Besides, I haven't been pried into the wall for so many years. More or less there is also the credit of Hongxiu in front of the wind and rain.

returned to Bai Laoju with a heavy heart, this time Shopkeeper Chen and Second Uncle Wang had already returned, but the eldest son of the Qin Prefect's family asked Shopkeeper Chen to talk. It seems that there is something to ask Wang Xiaohu for help. Before leaving, the shopkeeper Chen specially explained to Erya: "Liu girl! You go back and ask your little tiger to send two of the best mares early tomorrow morning. The eldest son of the Qin prefect's family is useful! ”

"Oh! Got it! ”

On the way back, I passed by the college in the county seat, and Erya bought a lot of things for Anzi and Xiaolong in the provincial capital, but was told that Xiaolong and they went back early in the morning.

It was still very early to get home in the afternoon, and Erya first told Xiaohu about sending two mares to Qin Governor's house tomorrow morning. After that, he asked Xiaolong tightly: "Xiaolong, your academy is busy with farming and has no holiday, why did you and Anzi suddenly come back at this time?" ”

Xiaolong cried with a sad face, and replied with a crying voice: "I, I participated in the county exam, but the result is no, no, no guò." ”

Erya thought that Xiaolong was still young, and she didn't want him to go too smoothly, so she didn't feel anything about him not having a pass to guò county, and if she didn't pass guò, she didn't have a pass, which was exactly what she wanted! However, seeing that this little dragon was very sad, Er Ya didn't dare to show Xiàn's indifferent appearance, for fear of hurting his face.

Erya tried her best to pretend to be a bitter gourd face of pity, and asked, "What about Anzi?" ”

"He passed the county and government exams, but he didn't pass the hospital exam, and now he is a child." Xiaolong replied to his sister-in-law in a thick nasal voice.

"Oh!" Erya was half a beat slower, wanting to say something, but couldn't think of what to say.

Xiaolong continued: "Of the several students led by Director Shi, except for one who couldn't go to the examination room because he was sick, the others were all successful, and five children were born and four were talented. ”

"Huh!? Really? When did this children's show get so good in the exam?! Erya was really surprised at this moment.

Xiaohu had heard the news a long time ago, and had digested it in his heart for a long time, and he already had his own understanding, so he analyzed with his daughter-in-law: "Daughter-in-law, I don't think it's surprising that they have such results!" ”

Erya came to the uproar and asked with a smile, "What do you say?" ”

Xiaohu was very excited when he saw his daughter-in-law humbly asking himself, so he sat down and talked eloquently: "That's what I think; 1. Director Shi was selected from so many students, and he was originally a student who studied well and hoped to pass the examination. Second, these children have no parents and families to rely on, and they know in their hearts that they need to work hard to get ahead in order to have their best days. 3. As a person with good knowledge, Director Shi has brought so many students, and it is not at all that he has won these few. Do you think I'm right? (To be continued).
