Chapter 87: Apology

Although Zhong Ziyuan has excellent medical skills, he has never done business after all, and he has not acted as a shopkeeper. Now she is a fledgling rookie at all, flapping her wings completely by feeling. Although she is also a little cautious, she is not an old spicy, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in dealing with problems.

Take the 30 yuan per person per day she set, since it is 30 yuan to do more and less, some people are obedient, and they will take the opportunity to be lazy and slippery. Anyway, there won't be a penny less, so why bother working hard. Over time, this can be a big drawback.

The girls she hired temporarily had no experience in going out to work, and they weren't so cunning. However, those freshly out of the pot must be made into pills by heat, so that the pills will be round and smooth, making people feel comfortable looking at them.

If it is cold, the embryo will harden, and the pill made in that way will appear dry and leave fine lines on the surface. Generally, when such pills arrive in the pharmacy, they will be reduced to inferior goods, and the selling price will be forced to be much cheaper.

At first, those girls were too hot and refused to take advantage of the hot medicine. The first embryo to come out of the pot was almost completely destroyed. Fortunately, Xue Ji saw the opportunity to act, and she immediately announced that the calculation method of wages had changed, and it was changed to a bowl of medicine embryos and one penny.

That is to say, if you work more and get more, you will be paid more if you do more, and if you do less, you will be paid less. Those strangely shaped pearls were touched by her hand, and they became the proof of the final settlement. When the girls finished their day's work, they could receive their wages based on the number of pearls in their hands.

Moment. The enthusiasm of these girls was aroused, and they no longer disliked the hot hands of the medicine embryos, and they did it quickly one by one. There are a few pampered ones. There is also some reluctance. But seeing that the companions around him were fast, they made bowl after bowl, and the small purse gradually bulged. That's a real copper coin! They were so greedy that they finally worked honestly, so the scene was so busy that there was almost no gossip.

After listening to Guo Chengsi's explanation, Zhong Ziyuan had to admire Xue Ji's quick wit. Seeing this hot scene. Zhong Ziyuan's original frustration was all swept away, and a strong fighting spirit was rekindled in his heart. So she rolled up her sleeves and smiled with interest: "Since everyone is busy." I don't have any reason to be idle, just go to work! ”

As soon as she said it, she went to the stove and said to Cardamom, "You go and do something else." It's up to me here. ”

Cardamom was busy handing out the embryos and pearls. While saying: "Here I and Cardamom have already made a good deal, Childe, don't come to make trouble." Let's go to the Xiucai lady to take a look, Fu Bo and they are all grinding powder over there! You go there and see if you can help. ”

Yes, if he wanted to help, he would be disliked by his family, so Zhong Ziyuan had to leave in disgrace. When Guo Chengsi and Zhu Fei saw this, they both secretly felt funny.

The three of them shook to the door of Li Xiucai's house together, and they smelled a strong medicinal fragrance wafting out of the courtyard. Zhong Ziyuan stood at the gate of the courtyard and raised his eyes to look inside. Wait until she can see what's going on inside. Dumbfounded again.

saw Fu Bo and Li Xiucai, but honestly stepped on the mill. Grinding the medicinal herbs back and forth. And Duan Ling, Xue Ji, and Yu Ji are simply comparing their kung fu.

There was a large vat in front of Yukihime, and her slender jade hands were flying in it like butterflies, and her mouth was constantly drinking. Zhong Ziyuan could clearly see that the dry roots and bark in the jar slowly turned into powder under her hands.

This incredible scene made Zhong Ziyuan's eyes straighten, and he forgot to close his mouth when he opened wide. A deep shout suddenly came from the other side, which attracted her attention again. I saw Duan Ling pinching a piece of deer horn glue in one hand, pinching it with both hands, and rubbing it again. The originally hard deer antler glue immediately turned into a pile of powder in the palm of his hand, and it fluttered into a copper basin under his hand. Zhong Ziyuan's eyes widened.

Zhong Ziyuan hadn't come back to her senses yet, and there was another coquettish cry in her ears, and she rolled her eyes to hear the sound. I saw Yu Ji standing beautifully at the stone table of Li Xiucai's house, and there was a pile of pearls on the table at this moment, and I saw her hands hit down hard, and the pile of pearls immediately turned into powder under her palm.

Xiucai Niang was waiting with a basin and a brush, and when she saw Yuji withdraw her hand, she immediately swept all the powder into the basin with a brush. After sweeping it clean, she took a step back, and Yu Ji grabbed a large handful of pearls and sprinkled them on the table, and then slapped them down with another palm, and the Xiucai lady stepped forward to collect the pearl powder again. The cooperation between the two is so skillful, and they look at Zhong Ziyuan seamlessly, and the jaw that has fallen off almost can't be recovered.

Zhu Fei said with a smile: "Look at the posture here, it is estimated that there is no room for you to interfere." ”

Zhong Ziyuan retracted her chin, rubbed her sour cheeks, and said stupidly: "No wonder you dare to show off your might wherever you take these two girls, it turns out that one of them can be ten big men." ”

"That's not true." Li Xiucai, who was over there, shook his head and began to drop his book bag: "With the skills of the two girls, I am afraid that in the army of 100,000, it is not a problem to take the head of the general." Xiaosheng finally saw it today, what it means to be a woman who does not let her eyebrows go. What admiration, admiration! ”

It doesn't matter if he is sour, Xue Ji and Yu Ji are smiling and proud. The eyebrows that are still pinching the antler glue are not happy. I heard him suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar, grabbed more than ten pieces of deer horn glue, his eyes were round, and the muscles of his arms bulged slightly because of his exertion. Hearing a series of slight popping sounds, the more than ten pieces of antler glue in his hand instantly turned into a pile of fine powder, falling from his palm like quicksand.

Fauber immediately clapped his hands and praised, "Good," and he shouted very loudly, as if he were cheering up the jugglers on the street. Duan Ling didn't mind, his chin was slightly raised, and the corners of his eyes actually showed a touch of pride. The so-called layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway. Both Xue Ji and Yu Ji saw that his hand was no longer brute force, but a superb internal kung fu, similar to Wudang's unlearned eagle claw skill.

Yuji snorted unconvinced, and she poured all the remaining half of the box of pearls into the basin. A coquettish shout. His hands did not clap, but kneaded them as if they were kneading flour. The dripping pearls rolled with her palms, but at the same time. They begin to grow smaller as their shells begin to fall off in powder. She also uses a kind of internal kung fu that overcomes rigidity with softness. After a short while, the pearls in this pot were all fine pearl powder.

Yu Ji stuffed the pot of pearl powder into the hand of the talented lady, and then shouted, "What else?" Bring it together. Her chin was slightly raised, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared at Duan Ling with a slight provocation.

Over there, Duan Ling also gelatinized all the antlers into powder, and he put these two pots of dark brown antler gum powder in front of the Xiucai lady, and also said in a deep voice: "These are okay." Just bring new ones. His gaze met Yuji's gaze unceremoniously, and the two of them were fighting with each other's eyes, crackling. Blazing. Even the surrounding air seemed to be unusually hot.

The Xiucai lady was stunned by the momentum of the two, and only stammered: "No, no, no." All the herbs are here. It's all been crushed into powder. ”

With a "click", Zhong Ziyuan's foot was hit by his falling jaw again. She was stunned and said, "All, all, all are done, the three of them are too powerful!" In fact, what she wants to say is that the destructive power of these three is too strong! However, the three words "destructive power" circled around her mouth, and she was stunned to become the word "ability".

Shaking his head, Zhong Ziyuan finally walked into the courtyard. The talented lady hurriedly smiled and said, "Doctor Jia." You're up. ”

"Hmm." Zhong Ziyuan, who had recovered from the shock, finally regained her old demeanor, and she showed a beautiful smile. said: "I didn't expect to be able to grind all the medicinal materials so quickly, I'm really fortunate to be able to grind you." ”

Xiucai Niangzi hurriedly shook her hand and said: "We really didn't do anything, these medicinal materials are all these three" She peeked at Xue Ji, Yu Ji and Duan Ling, and thought about it for a while, and then said cautiously, "These three heroes have been crushed." As soon as the words fell, a shy flush appeared on her face.

Swordsman? Although Zhong Ziyuan wanted to laugh, he still held back. However, the three "heroes" who were still fighting and did not accept anyone were happy first, and the tense atmosphere was strangely eased.

Several people were standing in the courtyard talking and laughing, and suddenly, there was a "squeaky squeak" of wheels. Fauber looked out, only to see a mule cart appear outside the courtyard. A middle-aged man dressed in a blue muslin robe with a green beard on his chin dismounts from the mule cart. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, then smiled and asked Fu Bo who poked his head out, "Dare to ask, does Doctor Jia live here?" ”

His voice was quite loud, and the few people in the courtyard who were still talking and laughing could hear it clearly. Zhong Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, feeling that this voice was very familiar, and she hurriedly walked out of the courtyard gate. Looking at it again, it was really an acquaintance. It was actually the shopkeeper of the pharmacy who was arrogant and resolutely refused to continue selling Peach Blossom Beauty Pills.

Seeing Zhong Ziyuan come out in person, the shopkeeper's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said happily: "Doctor Jia used to live here, but I can find it all the way." ”

Zhong Ziyuan smiled on his face, and said lightly: "It turned out that the shopkeeper came to the cold house. I don't know what to say? ”

Shopkeeper Zhang smelled the strong medicinal fragrance as soon as he got off the mule cart, and his heart suddenly "clicked" and tensed. Even if he didn't look at it, just by smelling the medicinal smell that was so strong that he could smell it from afar, he knew that a large number of zuò peach blossom beauty pills were being made inside. Since this Dr. Jia dares to make such a big deal of medicine, it must have an excellent market, and he doesn't know that his remedy is still too late.

Shopkeeper Zhang pretended to sigh: "Doctor Jia left too hurriedly before, and I blame me for not speaking clearly." That's why I came to the door this time, and I wanted to continue to talk to Dr. Jia about the consignment of peach blossom beauty pills. ”

"Keep talking?" Zhong Ziyuan said puzzledly: "Didn't Shopkeeper Zhang order us to move all the pills that were not sold?" The ten pills sold, we have also settled the accounts, I don't know what else is there to talk about? ”

Since the shopkeeper Zhang came, his face was naturally thrown aside for the time being. He laughed and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's a big misunderstanding." He waved his hand, and the driver of the mule cart jumped down at once, took a food box from the carriage, strode over and handed it to the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Zhang took the food box, and said with a smile: "Look, this is a freshly baked dim sum from Yipinzhai, and it is still hot, so it should be regarded as an apology for saying the wrong thing." I wonder if Dr. Jia is willing to forgive me for my momentary gaffe? ”

Zhong Ziyuan looked at the food box in his hand coldly and was speechless for a long time. Shopkeeper Zhang didn't know what she meant, his heart was "banging", and he didn't dare to make a sound to disturb.

Facing his small eyes, Zhong Ziyuan suddenly smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang is serious. Then he reached out and took the food box in his hand.

Zhong Ziyuan was not hypocritical because she had not been carried away by the order of 3,000 pieces from her daughter country. She knew that no matter how good her daughter's country was, it was also in Jiangnan, and it was a month away from here.

If you really want to make your Peach Blossom Beauty Pills completely open up the situation in Chang'an City, where all kinds of powerful and dignitaries gather, it is of course impossible to sell them one by one by yourself. It is still necessary to cooperate with some time-honored pharmacies to have the opportunity to become famous in the world. That's why she carefully selected these two old pharmacies that are small in scale but have a good reputation.

Although Shopkeeper Zhang's approach today is unkind, there is nothing wrong with standing in his position, after all, businessmen are for the purpose of making money. His own pills have been in his shop for so long, but they have not brought corresponding benefits to others, and they just let you take them yourself, and they didn't throw them on the street, which is good.

Since Shopkeeper Zhang lowered his posture so quickly and came to the door to apologize, Zhong Ziyuan naturally would not refuse to leave the door. She softened her expression, curled the corners of her lips and said, "Since Shopkeeper Zhang wants to talk about this business, come with me!" ”

She led the shopkeeper to her yard. Although Shopkeeper Zhang had already made some psychological preparations, when he really entered the courtyard, he was still shocked by the hot situation.

The red-hot fire, the dozen or so girls who bowed their heads and made pills, and the piles of peach blossom beauty pills that had been made and exuded a warm breath made the shopkeeper Zhang's eyes brighten.

Zhong Ziyuan saw that he was also shocked by this hot scene, and couldn't help but smile secretly. As soon as she wanted to speak, she heard a clear voice and said respectfully: "Childe, there is a lot of chaos in this courtyard, so it is better to invite the shopkeeper to come to the house to talk." ”

Zhong Ziyuan turned around in astonishment, and saw Xue Ji coming forward with a smile and blessing. took the food box in her hand, and then intentionally or unintentionally blocked the shopkeeper's sight. (To be continued......)
