068 Temptation
Seeing the reaction of the goddess, Xue Linhai and Xue Linzi glanced at each other and asked, "Who instructed you and what is your purpose?" The attitude is a little absent-minded, but when you listen carefully, it is irreversible and solemn.
"I'll say anything, I'll say anything, as long as you spare me. I also rely on selling gods to eat, I really have no other purpose, to collect money from people and eliminate disasters for others! The goddess knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Ah Chou seemed to be impatient and pulled her up: "Don't delay time, hurry up and explain!" In fact, when Fang just lowered his head, he whispered in the ear of the goddess: "Zhou Lingqiao is the person on the tip of the second young master of the Xue family, what to say, how much to say, I have already explained before." If you accidentally talk too much, the blame will only be heavier! ”
The goddess stopped kowtowing and knelt on the ground with a panicked expression: "Three days ago, on the market day, Zhou Lingqiao came to me in the market and asked me to spread oracles in Gujing Village and Qiaojun City, saying that Zhou Lingqiao's passing year is not good for bad luck, and it is not suitable to get married this year; Let me also say that the ugly girl is a broom star, and she wants to let the people of Gujing Village drive away. When it came to the appointed day, that is, yesterday, I went to Gujing Village, and Zhou Lingqiao gave me a sum of money and asked me to talk about it in Gujing Village. "It's a bit incoherent, but it also reveals what shouldn't be said.
After listening to this, the corners of his lips curled under the veil: Threats have always been easier to use from the inside out. If she was afraid of herself, then others wouldn't have to worry too much. As the saying goes, the best strategy is also!
Xue Linzi was obviously angry, but he didn't have a seizure, he squinted his eyes and smiled a little evilly, and his tone was gloomy: "Zhou Lingqiao asked you to do this?" How much money was given to you? Do you think Xue Fu can't afford this price? ”
"No, no," the goddess quickly waved her hand in denial. Lowered his head and dodged, "I'm also confused for a while." I agreed. Please let me go! ”
Xue Linhai didn't ask the goddess because he knew it. The key point of this matter lies in Zhou Lingqiao. So, it's not that simple. As for how Ugly got involved, it may be more complicated. However, the more he looked at this goddess, the more familiar it became
"How many years have you been in this business?" Xue Linhai picked up the teacup and dialed the clear tea soup, as if asking casually, but he had already begun to search for this somewhat familiar goddess in his memory.
The goddess's head lowered more and more, and she replied with a shrunken voice, "That's it, a few years." I don't really have a lot of business, so please spare me......"
Xue Linhai frowned, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious: "When the Fang Family Medical Center opened last year, the goddess invited was you, right?" With a cold snort, the teacup in his hand flew out and smashed directly on the god's head.
Ah Chou was closer to the goddess, and when he saw the teacup flying, he took a step back in shock. When she saw the bloody forehead of the goddess, she covered her heart and was a little afraid: fortunately, Xue Linhai looked arrogant and absurd. But he still has some ability, and he is not a vegetarian. Otherwise, if her hand is crooked, the tea cup is tilted, and her head will be broken and bleeding.
As for the Fang Family Medical Center, it sounds like an old thing in the medical circle. Zhou Lingqiao bought the goddess and pulled out the old enemy of the Xue family, which was really unexpected. It's not surprising. Doing this kind of business of accepting money from people and pretending to be ghosts and gods is distorting the facts and reversing black and white. Saying goes. I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet? Too much of a bad thing. There is retribution.
It's no wonder that when the goddess saw the two golden words "Xue Mansion", she was still afraid as if she had seen a ghost, and she dared to know her sin Xue Mansion!
His thoughts flipped only in the electric light, and Xue Linzi had already spoken: "Fang Family Medical Hall...... Big brother, I remember, it's this goddess! He pinched the armrest of the Eight Immortals Chair, and his expression was very fierce.
Seeing that things had changed, Ah Chou decided to push the boat down the river and immediately said: "Since the crooked beating is pulling out the old things in your mansion, Ah Chou is not good to point fingers anymore." This goddess, Ah Chou has full authority to the Xue family to dispose of! Looking at the attitudes of these two people before and after, you can understand that Zhou Lingcleverly avoided marriage and business wars, which is not an order of magnitude at all. Obviously, the latter is more important, so she is also interested in letting go and selling the Xue family's favor.
This incident once again shows that in the eyes of men, career is far more important than that of women!
Xue Linhai naturally understood that Ah Chou's original intention was to use this matter to give Zhou Lingqiao a dismissal, and also to make the Xue family wary of Zhou Lingqiao's intentions. However, the situation changed abruptly, and Ah Chou pushed the boat down the river and sold it to Xue Fu for a favor. This favor, he doesn't accept nothing.
"Thank you, Ugly girl. If it weren't for the ugly girl, I'm afraid it would not be easy for the Xue family to find out about this matter. Ugly girl, please rest assured, this goddess, the Xue family will handle it properly, and will definitely satisfy Ugly girl. Xue Linhai stared at the goddess's gaze, as if she was about to dig out her heart.
Ah Chou saluted: "Master Xue is serious, there is Prince Xue." Then I won't bother and take my leave. ”
Walking out of the Xue Mansion, Tong Ningxin, who had never spoken, was a little hesitant: "Ugly, offending the Xue family, really, is it so terrible?" ”
Ah Chou sighed, nodded and shook his head: "It's terrible to offend someone who is more powerful than you." Unless, you can't let him find you, or let him have a reason not to offend you. And she can only work hard from the latter way.
Tong Ningxin nodded as if he understood.
"I'm going to look for your fourth brother at the Baekje Pharmacy now, what about you?" Ugly turned his head and asked.
"I," Tong Ningxin stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, "My father told me to go buy some things, and when I finished shopping, I will go to the Baekje Pharmacy to find you." ”
"Okay." Ugly nodded goodbye to him.
In the Baekje Pharmacy, Ah Chou handed over a batch of Tongcao to Tong Ningzhi.
"This grass is not very dry, you should pay attention to the sun for a few more days, otherwise it will be stored like this, beware of mold." She instructed. To pick and concoct grass, it is necessary to cut the stems on the ground, cut them into sections, poke out the bribes, straighten them, and dry them. The process is not simple. She harvested the grass from the space of the medicine field, and only relied on the sunlight in the space for two days, so it was not very dry.
Tong Ningzhi and the shopkeeper are very grateful, and the shopkeeper wants to give Ah Chou more compensation, after all, there is a shortage of grass now, and if it is sold on the market, the price will definitely rise. But Ah Chou resigned: she sold Tong Grass to Baekje Pharmacy, not to make money. She helped the Baekje Pharmacy, firstly, to help Tong Ningzhi, and secondly, to know what the Dao Yonghetang would do next.
"How's it going these days?" Ugly asked as he handed over.
"This is the case with almost all pharmacies in the city, and the supply is very urgent. Our shopkeepers have joined forces with several companies to come up with ideas. Tong Ningzhi sighed.
Ah Chou pressed the elastic white grass and nodded slightly: "It's a good thing to unite, I'm afraid it's useless to unite." What is the movement of Yonghetang? ”
Tong Ningzhi's eyes drooped slightly, and he was very helpless: "Yonghetang has a thick foundation, and branches are all over the country, even if the goods can't be purchased from Qiaojun, it will be shipped from other places, so don't worry about anything at all." ”
This is where the economies of scale of chain stores come from. Under the premise of unified purchase, because of the large number of purchases, the supplier price can be reduced; In the case of unbalanced regional resources, it can be uniformly deployed and learn from each other's strengths. It's just that getting big doesn't happen overnight, and who doesn't want to be big? But that takes time, capital, skills, management and opportunity.
The grass was put away, and the shopkeeper instructed the guys to take it to the backyard to dry, and Ah Chou and Tong Ningzhi were chatting in the front store, when they saw a middle-aged uncle running in in a hurry: "Hurry up and grab the prescription!" ”
Tong Ningzhi took the prescription and glanced at it, and was about to respond, but was held down by Ah Ugly: "There is Tongcao in the prescription, this medicine is in urgent need now, we need to ask the shopkeeper first." She said politely to the middle-aged uncle.
"Hurry up, hurry up, life-saving medicine!" Uncle wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Although Tong Ningzhi wondered: Didn't this grass just exist, why do you still have to ask the shopkeeper? But he calmed down, knowing that there was a reason for what Ah Chou did, so he followed Ah Chou to a remote corner.
"Ugly, why don't you let me take the medicine to that uncle? I see he's dying. Tong Ningzhi asked the doubts in his heart.
"It's just because I'm in a hurry that something is wrong." Ah Chou said and shook the square in his hand away:
Cimicifuga three taels. Peony three taels. Antelope horns three taels. Four taels of grass. Shoot dry two taels. Cut one liter of raw reed root. [1]
"This recipe is mainly for typhoid fever, and typhoid fever is slow, so he has no reason to be so impatient. Moreover, typhoid fever is more common in autumn and winter; Now in spring, it is the season of high incidence of temperature disease, where does typhoid fever come from? Coupled with the recent severe shortage of grass in Qiaojun, this uncle is really a little strange. Ugly calmly analyzed. In extraordinary times, it is natural to be much more sensitive to problems.
Tong Ningzhi listened to Ugly's reminder, and "chuckled" in his heart, and suddenly realized: "Ugly, you are still careful." So now, I said that the grass is gone, let him find a home? ”
Ah Chou nodded: "Well, it's not just you, if I guess correctly, I'm afraid that such a person will come several times today, let everyone say, Tongcao is out of stock, otherwise it will startle the grass." I think the mastermind behind this is testing you. ”
"Temptation? What is there to tempt? Tong Ningzhi was puzzled.
"I'm not sure if I'm not sure about it, but if I'm not mistaken, this group of people will come several times today, and every store will go to it, and it should be a recipe containing Tongcao. Now let's hold our ground and hide our strength, and then we will wait to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger! The ugly was full of smiles under the veil: she just waited to see what tricks Yonghetang would play!
"This uncle, I'm really sorry, our store is out of stock. The shopkeeper went to see it in person, and there was no one in the warehouse, so why don't you go to the next house to have a look? Tong Ningzhi apologized politely and respectfully.
The uncle's eyebrows furrowed: "It's gone?" Okay, okay, I'm going to find the next house! Before the words fell, he snatched back the prescription and ran away again.
Ah Chou's clear eyes lifted, only to see that this person was only a flash and disappeared, and the speculation in his heart was a little certain.
