Chapter 32 The Sale of Herbs
After waiting for the Xiangxiu Embroidery Workshop, Zhang Jiahang carried the mother-in-law in the basket to Baicaotang. The www.biquge.info of the pen and fun pavilion asked a few younger siblings to wait outside, and went in to find the shopkeeper inside.
"Shopkeeper Fang, do you remember me? Is it the kid who came to you last time to discuss the acquisition of Mother-in-law Ding? ”
The shopkeeper Fang was weighing medicine inside, and he heard the guy say that someone was looking for him outside, and as soon as he went out, he saw the kid standing on the edge of the counter, and after thinking about it carefully, there was indeed such a thing. They have pharmacist channels in all parts of Baicaotang, and they generally do not purchase herbal medicines, but the price of some medicinal materials is not high, and pharmacists are generally reluctant to take orders, so they will disperse and purchase quantitative purchases from all over the country.
Mother-in-law, with the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, eliminating carbuncles and dispersing knots, is just one of the major pharmaceutical companies that are reluctant to take orders. There are not many people who know its medicinal value, and there are not many people who use it in Baicaotang, and it is generally replaced by other herbs with similar medicinal effects, and I don't know how the Zhang family boy knows.
"It's you! The kid of the Zhang family, right? I remember, but I was asked to buy it. Let's take a look at the goods first, but let's first state that the amount of one time shall not be less than ten catties, and the quality must be guaranteed. ”
"Shopkeeper Fang, don't worry, I wrote it down last time, so I saved it for so many days and waited for enough to carry it." As he spoke, he shook the basket on his back to show him.
Shopkeeper Fang saw that he had a basket full on his back, and a large basket was also placed on the ground, so he reiterated it. After being a shopkeeper for so many years, he knows that the sun-dried herbs are not weighed, and if they are not compacted, it is still impossible to confirm their weight from the outside.
The shopkeeper called the man, took out the bundles of herbs in the basket, and carefully examined the medicine. After the inspection, he nodded with satisfaction, the quality was good, the pressure was solid enough, and the amount was enough.
"Zhang family boy, what do you call it?"
"Shopkeeper Fang, you can call me Zhang Jiazi or Jiahang."
"Then I'll call you Jiahang, I have already experienced the herbs you brought just now, and the cleaning is not bad. I'll give you 75 wen a catty, if you agree, we'll wait for the next weighed to receive the goods and pay. ”
"Just according to the price that the shopkeeper said." The price was about the same as they expected, which was fair.
After the weighing, there were a total of 22 catties and six taels, a total of 1695 Wen, and Zhang Jiahang asked the guy to exchange it for broken silver. Then the quantity and time of the next delivery are agreed.
Zhang Jiahang took the basket, but when he went out, he ran into Brother Yongping coming in from outside.
"Jiahang, I just heard from Jiaxuan outside that you came to Baicaotang to sell herbs, I still don't believe it, it turns out that it's really you?"
The last time I went to his house to ask for silver, and the IOU, he remembered it! A few days ago, Jia Ze actually put him together, if there was no Jia Hang's indulgence, he would not believe it. He heard about them picking and selling black fungus in the mountains for a while, how much money can they get? No, they all went to the place where he worked to sell herbs. Not in his name!
"Brother Yongping, I picked some herbs in the village to exchange for silver."
"Humph! I can't afford to be your brother! ”
Then he said to the shopkeeper Fang who looked puzzled in front of the counter: "Big shopkeeper, this kid and I are both from Zhangjiazhuang, and he knows that I am working here, so he came to sell herbs." Our Baicaotang does not accept herbs from the outside world, if he is in my name, you don't have to be embarrassed to accept these herbs. ”
"Second shopkeeper, you are mistaken. We in Baicaotang do not accept herbs from the outside world, but they are not absolutely. You also know that there are some herbs that we buy from the surrounding area. The mother-in-law Ding brought by Jiahang just now belongs to the scope of external acquisition, and it is still more than ten catties, and it is not bad to clean up. So I just received it all, and I also ordered the next delivery. ”
He was sent here from above to take over as the new shopkeeper of Baicaotang this year, and Zhang Yongping, as the second shopkeeper, gave him a lot of trouble by virtue of his qualifications. As soon as the original old shopkeeper left, Zhang Yongping thought that he could take over as the big shopkeeper, thinking that he had robbed him of the position of the big shopkeeper, so he kept working with him. But I didn't know that the big shopkeeper of Baicaotang had always been dispatched from above.
Just now, Zhang Yongping said on the one hand that the Zhang family kid borrowed his name to sell herbs; On the other hand, he used this incident to say that he, the big treasurer, illegally purchased herbs. It really doesn't stop at all. What does it mean to be in his name, I really think that he has much weight as the second shopkeeper! If it weren't for the fact that he, the second shopkeeper, was very senior and cautious, and he really needed a familiar helper to take care of the matter, he would have found a way to teach him a lesson.
"That's right! That's me mistaken. Big shopkeeper, you also know who I am, and I have always taken things in Baicaotang more seriously. I'm afraid that some people will use my name to fish in troubled waters, so I misunderstood Jiahang. Then he turned back to Jiahang and apologized: "Jiahang, I misunderstood you just now, I hope you don't mind." ”
Zhang Yongping regretted it a little when he heard it, he didn't figure things out in advance just now, and let himself lose face in front of the big shopkeeper. It's all to blame for this kid Jiahang, who can't say anything clearly!
He had heard about the other acquisition, but he really didn't know what kind of herbs it was, and these were all in charge of the big shopkeeper. I don't know how this kid from Jiahang got on the big shopkeeper to know about this!
"Well, Brother Yongping, just don't misunderstand next time. I'll go first. ”
Zhang Jiahang had already turned the corner of Brother Yongping and said that he borrowed the name, and he felt ridiculous! In the past, he still felt that Brother Yongping still had some merits, but now! It can only be said that when you see someone, you bite. Maybe that's who he really is. He didn't tear his face before, he didn't reveal his full true nature.
Brother Yongping's apology just now was just for the big shopkeeper Fang, and he didn't miss the annoyance, doubts, and anger he showed behind the big shopkeeper's back. You don't have to ask, you know what he thinks! Too lazy to explain.
Originally, he had thought that he would meet Brother Yongping when he came to Baicaotang to sell herbs, but he thought that as long as the needs of Baicaotang were met, there should be no problem. No matter what, Brother Yongping shouldn't give him a mix. However, he thought too well to be true.
"Big brother, how are the herbs selling? We met Brother Yongping just now, but you saw it inside? He just taught Jiaze a lesson about inviting him to dinner last time, is it embarrassing for you? Zhang Jiaxuan asked worriedly when he saw his eldest brother come out.
Zhang Jiahang put the basket in his hand on Jiaxuan's back and said comfortingly: "Let's go over there first." It's inconvenient to talk here. ”
When they crossed the street, they found an open place, sat down and told them what was going on in the Hundred Grass Hall.
"The herbs I brought were collected at 75 wen a catty, and I also made an appointment with the shopkeeper for the next delivery time and quantity. Tomorrow we will go to pick the mother-in-law, and there will be it everywhere in the mountains and fields. ”
"Got it, big brother." Zhang Jiaxuan hesitated and said: "Big brother, will Brother Yongping take advantage of the absence of the shopkeeper to not accept our goods or lower the price?" ”
Zhang Jiahang said uncertainly: "Let's talk about this again." However, I agreed with the shopkeeper Fang, although I have only met him twice, I think he should be a rule-abiding person. And I see that the matter of purchasing herbs from abroad is the responsibility of the shopkeeper Fangda. ”
