087 Make medicine The county lord thinks
After the new shop opened, Mu Qi and Mu Qianlan bought a fourteen-year-old boy from the Huang family from Fucheng and were arranged by Mu Qianlan to work as partners in the newly opened vegetable shop. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The business of the snack restaurant is now mainly hot food such as spicy hot, and these tasks are taken over by the two servant women who bought them. After all, Malatang is not the same as cold skin, it is to be made freshly, and it is not very suitable for Mu Qi to make it, at least it is not as easy as that of two servants.
As for Liu Yuniang and Li Cuilan, their daily work now is to help in the house, and they usually don't go to the shop.
With Mu Qi, who can speak well, and Li Qianhe, who makes people loyal and honest at a glance, Mu Qianlan feels that it is difficult for this business to be bad. As for the young man named Huang Xiao'an of the Huang family, he looks good, and over time, he may not be able to become his own arm.
As Mu Qianlan expected, the business of the vegetable shop was only average at the beginning. There weren't many people who came to see it, and they all said it was too expensive. After all, there are many people who still have some fresh vegetables stored, and there are still some fresh vegetables on the market, although they are not as good as those in Mu Qianlan's shop, but they are not bad. In addition, Mu Qianlan's shop is in such a place, and it is not necessarily convenient to walk, so many people are reluctant to go.
However, after October, the opportunity for fresh vegetables on the market was gone, and the advantages of Mu Qianlan's vegetable shop were gradually reflected, and the business gradually improved.
Moreover, the price of the dish has doubled compared to September, but no one said that the price of the dish is too expensive. Mu Qi is a talker again. I told these people who came to buy that it took a lot of effort to grow this vegetable, and it cost a lot to transport it to Changhe County, and if the price was low, it would be a loss.
And these people who buy in large households also know that it is not easy to grow such vegetables at this time, so they also believe that even if the price is high, it is not outrageous. In addition, with fresh dishes, the masters are happy, and their talents as subordinates are better, aren't they? These families are rich, and they don't lack the money to buy vegetables.
Plus. Everyone has the psychology of comparison. This is especially true for the rich, your family ate fresh dishes today, and others know about it, and they are not far behind. I'm going to buy some and come back. All of a sudden. Big families compare with each other, which is enough to make Mu Qianlan earn a lot of money.
Even if it is to the people in your own family, there are some things that you can't say. In order to disguise the source of fresh vegetables, Qianlan only said that he had found a vegetable farmer in Fucheng at home, and he could grow fresh vegetables in winter, and he refused to say anything else. Fortunately, these people are not the ones who break the casserole and ask to the end, knowing that everyone has their own secrets, so no one asks more. Anyway, these people know very well in their hearts, only if Miss Mu is well, their lives can be good.
In order to cover up the origin of his vegetables to the greatest extent, Mu Qianlan has to go to Fucheng every three or four days, and every time he comes back, he will definitely load a cart full of tightly covered bamboo baskets and put them in the warehouse, as for what these baskets contain, only Mu Qianlan himself knows.
However, what others don't know is that Mu Qianlan went to Fucheng and would transport some of the fruits and vegetables grown in his space. During this period of time, she often went to Fucheng, and she also had some connections in Fucheng, and signed an agreement with a fruit shop, saying that she would send thirty baskets of fruits every ten days. I also signed an agreement with another vegetable shop to deliver 30 baskets of vegetables every 10 days.
When Mu Qianlan went to sell, it took a lot of effort.
In the season when the fruit is on the market, even if Mu Qianlan's fruit actually tastes better than ordinary fruit, it does not attract enough attention. At the beginning, this fruit shop also looked at Mu Qianlan's fruits and left two baskets.
However, after the fruits were sold, many repeat customers came and said that the fruits tasted better than ordinary fruits. The shopkeeper found out that this fruit was much better than most of the fruits on the market, and it was crisp and juicy in the mouth, and it had a special sweetness. Because of this, after finding Mu Qianlan, he signed the agreement at a price higher than 20% higher than the market. These fruits also brought Mu Qianlan a lot of benefits.
And the vegetables are Mu Qianlan after the winter, the price is naturally the same as that of Changhe County, every time she is dressed in men's clothes is very low-key, and she directly drove the car to pull things to the backyard, and did not attract the attention of others.
And Mu Qianlan is also cautious, every time she delivers vegetables, she will go around the city several times before leaving the city, so even if someone wants to follow her, there is no way to follow.
In order to have a steady supply of goods, Mu Qianlan planted a ridge of each of the existing vegetables in the space, even if it was just this ridge, it was enough, because the space was now a fourth-level space, and the growth rate was much faster than before.
Adding up to these items, the silver in Mu Qianlan's hands increased at a rapid rate, and by the time of Layue, Mu Qianlan had accumulated five thousand taels of silver in his hands. Mu Qianlan looked at the money box and frowned. Sure enough, the vegetables in this winter are good to make money, and with this money, her plan can start to be implemented step by step.
Mu Qianlan finally decided to do the medicinal herb business.
She is a doctor, and although she has no intention of sitting in the court, she does not intend to waste this good medical skill. She has her own ideas, and although her medical skills are excellent, she is the only one after all. Even if you can open a pharmacy in Changhe County to see a doctor, how many people can you relieve the pain? However, it is different when it is made into a finished medicine, as long as the package is ready, it can be carried with you, so that more people can benefit.
She has memorized many prescriptions of the later generations, and after returning to Daqi, she also recorded them carefully, and now it is time for these prescriptions to come out.
Of course, it seems that it is not enough to grow medicinal herbs by herself, and when she grows them and she doesn't know how many years have passed, she can't afford to toss for such a time.
Therefore, Mu Qianlan planned to set up his own point to buy some wild medicinal materials. In fact. No one knew that the acquisition was just a façade, and as long as the acquisition lasted a few days, she could start making medicine.
She has no shortage of medicinal materials, there are a steady stream of supply channels in the space, whether it is planting medicine outside or purchasing medicinal materials, all in order to let the large quantities of medicine in her space have a fair and honest way.
Five thousand taels of silver is obviously not enough to support this field, but. Mu Qianlan is not afraid. Recently, there has been another heavy snowfall, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is already the lunar month, and the New Year will be coming soon. Her business will get better and better. You will also earn more and more money. Normally. It should wait until after the Chinese New Year to start the patent medicine business.
*************
At this time, in the Huanan Palace, the capital, Qiao Chengyi was strange because of Yang Lan's abnormality in recent months.
He and Yang Lan have gotten along in the past few years. I still know his thoughts very well, but since when did this guy become so mysterious, it seems that it started when he talked about the woman he met in Changhe County.
Especially recently, I heard that he actually took a three-day detour to Changhe County, so that he has not come back yet, which is not like his style.
Could it be that this woman in Changhe County is really a little different? Will it make him think about it in his heart?
"What's this, I also heard that he got a few old people in the house who were used to it to Changhe County." Hearing Qiao Chengyi's doubts, Liu Sewu said with an indifferent smile.
It's just that if you look at her carefully, you will find that there is a touch of disdain in her eyes. This Yang Lan is really unproductive, even if the empress likes it, he is just a gentleman, except for hanging around, he just doesn't do his job.
It's just a village girl in the countryside, that kind of lowly woman, just having fun, it's worth putting it in his heart? I don't know if Her Majesty the Empress will be disappointed if she knows such a preference for him?
Qiao Chengyi hadn't heard about it yet, so he was a little surprised at the time, and even the people in the house sent it? Is that really moving? I don't know what kind of woman it is, he is a little curious.
"Lord Wang, Grandpa Xia is here!" Before Qiao Chengyi could speak, he heard the little guy at the door.
Liu Sewu was faintly displeased when she heard this, but she didn't show it on her face, she just quietly retreated from behind, although Daqi didn't have the so-called male and female defense, but Liu Sewu was the county lord of Hailin Wangfu after all, even if everyone knew that she and Qiao Chengyi were going to talk about marriage, but in fact, she didn't want many people to see her in Huanan Wangfu with their own eyes.
Qiao Chengyi himself got up and waited for Father-in-law Xia to come in. Father-in-law Xia is an old eunuch who is almost fifty years old, he has grown up in the palace all his life, and when he enters the door, he looks at the two cups of tea that are still steaming on the table, and he knows that there were originally two people in this room, and then he smells the familiar smell of incense powder, and he knows that it is the lord of Luobei. However, these things have nothing to do with him, he was just ordered to invite the prince.
"The old slave has seen the prince!" Father-in-law Xia smiled and saluted.
He is an old man next to Her Majesty the Empress, and since the Empress was a princess, he has been serving in front of him, and his feelings are naturally different. Therefore, even if Qiao Chengyi was a prince, he didn't dare to be very big, so he personally supported him.
"I wonder if you're here today?" gave up the seat to Father-in-law Xia, and ordered the little maid to serve tea, Qiao Chengyi asked.
"Your Majesty, please enter the palace immediately!" Father-in-law Xia still likes a simple and unpretentious person like Qiao Chengyi, this one is more popular than King Hailin, so he still insists on saying after the ceremony.
Qiao Chengyi was taken aback, at this time, let people invite him into the palace? Could it be that something happened in the palace, Her Majesty's body doesn't seem to be very good recently, isn't there something wrong? Otherwise, why is the empress in such a hurry?
However, Qiao Chengyi is not confused, the empress let him enter the palace, and he entered the palace, as for the superfluous words, there is no need to ask in detail. The empress's health is not good, this is a well-known thing in the whole dynasty, if it wasn't for the empress's body, how could he and King Hailin enter Beijing!
After Qiao Chengyi announced the guilt to Gong Xia, he hurriedly went to the back to change his official uniform, and then said something to Liu Sewu and left in a hurry with Gong Xia.
Now that Qiao Chengyi has left, it is not interesting for Liu Sewu to be alone in Huanan Palace, so he simply got up and left Huanan Mansion and went to his brother Hailin Palace.
King Hailin is also resting today, and he was very surprised to see his sister come back suddenly, this sister, as long as it is Qiao Chengyi's day of rest, she usually won't go home, why did she come back at such a time today? Looking at my sister who doesn't seem to be very happy, could it be that she quarreled with Qiao Chengyi?
King Hailin hurriedly asked with concern, "Why did you come back at this time?" ”
"This is also my home, can't I come back at this time? If my brother didn't want to see me, he would have sent me away early, so as not to hinder your eyes. Facing his brother, Liu Sewu did not smile gently at Qiao Chengyi, but looked angry.
As for King Hailin, he was obviously used to seeing the true face of his sister-in-law, and he was not annoyed, but he just accompanied him in a loud voice: "It's my brother's, but my brother doesn't mean anything else, I'm afraid that Qiao Chengyi will bully you and make you unhappy." My good sister, if that kid dares to bully you, my brother will definitely avenge you. ”
Liu Sewu snorted coldly before saying, "When I have no use value, I'm afraid I won't be your good sister!" ”
King Hailin was silent about this, and only asked about Qiao Chengyi's whereabouts for a while. When he learned that Qiao Chengyi was actually urgently recruited into the palace by the empress, he chuckled in his heart.
He and Qiao Chengyi entered Beijing at the same time, and at that time, the Manchu Dynasty knew that the prince would be produced among the two of them, but what he didn't expect was that after three or four years, the empress's attitude was always ambiguous, and the two of them were just princes so far, on an equal footing, it didn't matter who was high and who was low, but recently it seemed that the empress valued Qiao Chengyi more?
This can't be done, the empress is not in good health now, and she must be making a final decision soon, in order to be able to sit on the crown prince smoothly over the years, I don't know how much thought she has spent, how can she fall short and be compared to Qiao Chengyi? It's better to send someone to inquire, but simply because I have my own connections in the palace over the years.
"Didn't you ask what it was?" King Helin asked.
"I asked, and he said he didn't know either. I'll ask tomorrow. Liu Sewu waved his hand and said absent-mindedly.
My brother let himself get close to Qiao Chengyi, just to make her the eyeliner in front of Qiao Chengyi, she has done really well in the past few years, and Qiao Chengyi has nothing to say to her, but I don't know why, Qiao Chengyi has never mentioned the matter of getting married. Although the age of the two of them is not very big now, it is not too young, and there are many people in the court who have become married at this age.
Could it be that Qiao Chengyi's heart has never forgotten the woman who grew up with her childhood sweetheart? If that were the case, the woman would have died. I don't know if she is getting better now after she was sent to Qingliang Mountain? But with such a serious injury, it shouldn't be able to get better, right? (To be continued.) )
