Ah Chou's guess was really good, and for a day in a row, six people came to grab the medicine with the recipe with the grass. In the next two days, many people came to buy the grass. For this reason, now in the entire county town, it is difficult to find one or two grass, and even Yonghetang, the only one with grass for sale, has increased its price several times.

And Ah Chou has not been idle in the past few days, and the honeysuckle in his own field can already be picked.

Honeysuckle, the flowers are white at the beginning, and then turn golden, gold and silver, so it is also called honeysuckle. Honeysuckle clears heat and detoxifies, reduces inflammation and swelling, and the general harvest period is one or two months tonight; It's just that the honeysuckle in the ugly field, after the treatment of the medicinal spring, is more early, the flower buds are swollen and blue-white, and they are ready to be harvested.

In the early morning, when the dew was just dry, the honeysuckle was plucked, and Ah Chou took advantage of the two days of fine but not warm sunlight until it was ninety percent dry. Honeysuckle is taboo against scorching sun exposure, and it is also taboo to turn when drying flowers, which are mentioned in the space description. Ugly carefully did so one by one, preparing for the first harvest in the field.

March 17 is the market day again, and Ah Chou came to Qian County to sell honeysuckle.

With a harvest of 500 catties per acre, Ah Chou plans to sell 200 catties first. Despite this, it was difficult for her to carry it alone, and it was Grandma Xu and Tong Ningxin who helped her move it to the Tong family's ox cart. When she arrived in Qian County, Tong Ningxin also unloaded the goods with her.

The medicine is harvested in spring, and most of them are flower medicinal materials. Ah Chou grabbed a handful of honeysuckle, spread it on the straw mat in front of him, put some magnolia and elm picked in the mountains, and began to wait for business.

At about this time, honeysuckle was too rare, and someone came to the door to ask for the price: "Your honeysuckle, although it was picked early, the quality is really good." How much does it cost? ”

Ugly looked up. Take a look at the first customer in front of you: the dress is good, and it doesn't look like an ordinary vendor. Also. Honeysuckle ripening in the early season is something that ordinary hawkers dare not touch. They're all small businesses. Only do ordinary business and come according to the season. Only big merchants dare to touch such a high-cost thing - since it is not the season, the price will not be cheap. This is the same as out-of-season vegetables.

And Ah Chou just wants to rely on the convenience of space to do some out-of-season business, so as to obtain high profits.

"Fifty wen a catty, no bargaining." Ugly replied cheerfully. Most of the people who come out to receive goods like this kind of son-in-law are inexperienced and thrown out by their elders to take over the family business in the future. This situation. I will definitely have one or two experienced guys around me to help you negotiate and see the goods

He Sijun squatted in front of the straw mat and looked at the color of the honeysuckle: fifty wen a catty, it is not cheap. However, for the sake of the quality is indeed high, it is such a season: "Forty wen a catty, how many you have, I will take it all." ”

Ugly raised his eyebrows under the veil: he actually bargained in person, it seems that he is not a rookie. Even so, she can't afford to die anymore and carry the high price: "I have two hundred catties." Forty-five pounds. ”

He Sijun raised his eyes and looked at Ah Ugly, and bowed his head happily: "Deal." ”

The guy who followed behind He Sijun stepped forward to order, and Ah Chou began to sell him the rest of the varieties: "Don't you take a look at Mulan and Yudan?" ”

He Sijun smiled faintly: "I'm only interested in strange things, Mulan and Elm are all over the street." I don't need to worry about it. ”

Ah Chou didn't say much, this person is obviously a big businessman, how can he pay too much attention to what small traders are looking at? Thinking about it, he shook his head self-deprecatingly.

The girl shook her head. But don't agree with me? He Sijun obviously noticed Ugly's movements.

"No, I just lament that my vision is too low. Those who have achieved great things. It is inevitable that you will look at the problem from a different perspective from others. Ugly explained.

He Sijun narrowed his eyes slightly, and only spit out a few words after a while: "You are very interesting." ”

The honeysuckle is counted. He Sijun handed Ah Chou nine taels of silver: "We will meet again if we are fated." ”

Holding the silver in his hand, Ah Chou looked at the direction He Sijun left, and inevitably speculated: This person acts and speaks very specially, what kind of background will it be?

It's a pity that speculation is speculation, she is a small person, she has no source of information, and she can't think of anything out of her imagination, so she doesn't mention it.

Elm and magnolia are the harvest season, and there are many people who buy them, and naturally many people sell them. Fortunately, the number of these two things in Ugly's hands was limited, and it didn't take too long to sell them. All the goods in his hand were exchanged for silver, and Ah Chou came to the Baekje Pharmacy to find Tong Ningxin.

After understanding the situation in the past few days, Ah Chou was a little puzzled: "I thought that the temptation would be over in one day, but I didn't expect it to drag on for so long, and I was really calm." ”

"Our shopkeeper also said the same, seeing that the price of grass is rising gradually, I am in a hurry!" Tong Ningzhi said.

Ah Chou Yu caught a glimpse of the shopkeeper walking into the front hall, so he went straight to Ah Chou: "Ah Chou girl, you are also here, it just so happens that I have a new news to tell you." ”

"What's the news? Let's talk about it later. Ah Ugly's heart jumped: Could it be that the other family has finally done it?

The shopkeeper promised to go to the backyard and tell the truth of the matter: "Isn't there a shortage of grass, and now I have found a store with goods, but the price is not cheap!" ”

"Not cheap? Is it cheap, or is it expensive? Although Ah Chou was a question, his tone was very affirmative.

"It's expensive! That's why I don't dare to act now......" the shopkeeper sighed.

Ah Chou turned his clear eyes under the veil: "What about the other stores?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head: "The other stores can't hold their breath anymore, and they are all planning to make some moves." After all, if it drags on any longer, there may be no better way. And the price is still lower than Yonghetang. ”

Naturally, it has to be lower than Yonghetang, otherwise it is better to go directly to Yonghetang to buy it.

Ah Chou was puzzled: "Who is supplying it?" ”

"That guy used to sell medicine, but it was always a small business." The treasurer's explanation.

Tongcao is harvested in autumn, a small business, how can you do out-of-season medicinal herbs?

Ah Chou pondered for a long time before he sighed: "From the shortage of medicine merchants, to the sale of Tongcao, to the increase in the price of Tongcao, and then to the high price of Tongcao, I am afraid that it is all a ghost of Yonghetang." Seeing this path clearly, I knew what Lu Dao Yonghetang wanted to do. ”

The shopkeeper already knew it in his heart, and his expression was serious: "I'll go to the owner and discuss countermeasures." ”

Tong Ningzhi was still in the dark, watching the shopkeeper go away, and turned his head to ask Ah Ugly: "What does Yonghetang want to do?" ”

"The next step is to wait for everyone to buy Tongcao at a high price, and suddenly take out a large number of Tongcao to sell and lower the price of Tongcao, so that everyone can only sell it at a low price when they enter the high-priced Tongcao, and all of them will lose money!" Ah Chou told Tong Ningzhi the answer.

Tong Ningzhi gasped: "It's really a poisonous serial scheme!" ”

"The key to this strategy is not to be vicious, but to implement it, and it must have a fairly strong market control ability, which is something that only Yonghetang can do, right?" Ah Chou sighed with emotion, and repeatedly thought about what she hadn't said yet: Looking at this momentum, Yonghetang is afraid that it will crush the entire medicinal material retail industry in Qian County, and then reshuffle and divide the market, and even monopolize the market. In such a situation, if Baekje Pharmacy wants to survive, it depends on seeing the move, and there is another move after one move, how to complete the demolition!

And behind Yonghetang, who is backing him? Who will profit from this?

Ah Chou sighed: Maybe it's really as the note said, Yonghetang's power is too great, and if she wants to get involved in this matter, she doesn't have the ability to ...... Can you just watch everything happen?

It's so contradictory!

On the second day, as expected by Ah Chou, Tongcao really began to be sold, and the price of Tongcao in Qiaojun plummeted, and it was not even as high as the original price. Various pharmacies have planted their heads in this transaction.

People with a keen sense of smell have already sensed that the retail drug business industry in Qian County is afraid that the sky is about to change.

Ah Chou has been in Gujing Village for the past few days, but it has been calm. As soon as Zhou Lingqiao came out, he had been closed since the last incident, and he didn't know what plans he had made, so he was completely silent.

Speaking of which, Ugly sympathized with her, and it was her misfortune to be targeted by Xue Linzi. It's a pity that the poor person must have something to hate, she has acted too extremely, her mind has been distorted, even if she wants to help her escape from misfortune, there is no way to help her—she did not take the escape advice given to her last time. Maybe it's useless to say anything, in her heart, she has long been completely her enemy.

Ah Chou sighed while pinching the tip of the bean, and heard a sound at the door.

Ding Juwen stood in front of the open door and knocked on the door, and when he saw Ah Ugly turn his head, he smiled and greeted: "Ugly girl! ”

"Brother Ding, sit down." Ah Chou stretched out his hand and pointed to a bench not far away, his tone polite but slightly cold.

Ding Juwen didn't mind, put the thing in his hand next to Ah Chou, and sat on the bench: "A pound of pork, the thank you gift is meager, if you refuse, it must be too little." ”

The ugly frowned under the veil: Why is this person like this again! Nor did he respond: "Is there anything else?" ”

"I'm looking for you today to ask you what you think of a sentence." Ding Juwen got straight to the point.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"There is a sentence in the "Enlightenment" of the sage Dangong: Renzong asked: 'If you are diligent in government and do not win the hearts of the people, how can it be?' Dan Gong said: 'Your Majesty's diligence is not what the people want!' Ding Juwen posed a question.

Ah Chou Shen Yin: This question is a good topic, and I want to spread it out, and I can write an argument. It's just that she doesn't have so many ideas, and she doesn't have so many visions of this world, so she can only point to it.

"Renzong is puzzled why he is diligent and loves the people, but he is not popular with the people, it is because the place where he is diligent is not what the people need. The argument is what the people need and what the court should do for those needs. I just want to say one thing, the word 'full warmth' is the desire of the people, if you are diligent in building a palace, what does it matter to the people! "Ugly is concise.

Ding Juwen was silent, and only opened his mouth again after a long time, as if he had thought about it for a long time before asking: "10,000 yuan a month, are you serious?" ”

Before Ah Chou could pay attention to Ding Juwen's unexplained change of topic, he saw Jiang Si's sister-in-law running into her yard, looking 100,000 anxious: "Ah Ugly girl, my third brother is no good, please go and take a look!" (To be continued......)
