Closer to the west gate of the city, there is a small pharmacy.

The layout of this pharmacy is very simple, with a medicine cabinet, a counter, a table, and two chairs.

Standing at the door, you can see an old doctor sitting there to see the patients in line.

And this group of patients, they are all from the poor people or beggars, ragged, yellow and thin.

At this time, a woman who was about twenty years old a year, dressed in white-washed clothes, stood in front of the counter, rubbing the corner of her two hands, her face was unnatural, and she said in a low voice: "Dog, my son still needs to take medicine today, can you give me another medicine?"

When my husband comes back from his work in a few days, I will give you the money. ”

The dog glanced at the acquaintance, and knew the situation of her family in her heart, the family was not separated, and the mother-in-law of the family was partial to the child, and she was very mean to the eldest child's family, and would not pay for her family to see a doctor at all.

"Yes, auntie, you wait for me for a while, and I'll keep the account for you."

The dog took out a ledger from the counter, wrote down the arrears, and then handed the medicine to the woman.

The woman thanked the dog with gratitude in her eyes, and was about to leave, but was stopped by one of them.

"Hey, how can you give someone credit at will?"

The dog was displeased when he saw an old-fashioned steward and heard his questioning, but he explained in accordance with the principle of being a guest and a customer first: "The rules of this pharmacy have always been like this, I have been working in this shop for six years, and its rules have not changed.

There is no charge for medical treatment for the poor, and the medicine is half price.

If you don't have it, you can't take out the money, and you can take credit from acquaintances.

If you are not familiar with the person, you can bring the household registration, and then explain the reason, or you can take credit. ”

Then the dog let the woman go.

The master of Chu here listened to it and understood why this shop kept losing money.

But why has it been in business for so long?

At the same time, I took out the note from my sleeve, unfolded it and read it, thinking about turning losses into profits, and not allowing myself to pay, this is not difficult, but what is the deep meaning hidden in it?

The steward asked, "Big boss, how are we going to operate?" ”

Chu Da came back to his senses, glanced around the store, and ordered: "You first investigate the situation here, take a look at the account books of the store, give me a plan tomorrow, and operate according to the original rules today." ”

The steward said, "Yes." ”

Master Chu nodded slightly, planning to go to the other candidates to have a look, so he left the store.

Out of the store, Chu Da Dang walked along the street to the city, walked three meters, and came to a grocery store with a good business.

However, Zhong Tingmo stood aside but frowned.

Chu Da was hiding in a small vendor, carefully observed, and found that people were in and out, and heard the discussion that the shopkeeper was very good, and the prices given to them were half price, especially seeds, and they could borrow on credit if they had no money.

There is a thought in his heart, the situation of the store he manages is similar to that of other stores, Zhong Xuanlan should not embarrass them in reversing profits, so there must be a back-move, what is this?

Chu Da Boss dealt with this day to keep the way it was doing business, and some people were the same as him, and in the same way, they kept operating as they were when they didn't understand the situation.

And some people have changed the way they do business, and even changed the shopkeeper and the guys.

When they received the news of how the fifteen shops operated, Zhong Xuanlan, Wang Xuannian, Yang'er and He Li were picking vegetables in the greenhouse of Yixi Grange.

After listening to the winter solstice report, Zhong Xuanlan nodded slightly, looked at Wang Xuannian opposite and asked, "Xiaofujun, the store is for you to operate, what will you do?" ”

Wang Xuannian put the lettuce in the basket and responded: "Operate it the way it is." ”

"If that's the case, there's a good chance you're going to lose the game."

Wang Xuannian said with a smile: "No, because even if they can't contribute money themselves, there will be many people who will contribute to this."

Next, they don't need to worry about profitability at all.

In fact, Lan'er's purpose is not to make a profit, but to test other things! ”

Zhong Xuanlan patted the soil in his hand and said with appreciation: "Well, Xiaofujun is right. What do you say I'm going to test them, little man? ”

Wang Xuannian said: "Virtue and talent." ”

"But I want to know where they stand?" Zhong Xuanlan looked at the basket placed at Wang Xuannian's feet and asked, "Are these dishes enough?" ”

Wang Xuannian was still thinking about the question of position, and when he heard Zhong Xuanlan's words, he glanced at the basket full of vegetables and nodded.

Zhong Xuanlan stood up, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and after tidying up his clothes, he looked at the two children in front of him who were chasing and playing with each other, and reminded: "If you don't care about those two boys, the vegetables in this greenhouse will be destroyed today." ”

After speaking, Zhong Xuanlan walked to the door.

Wang Xuannian looked at Zhong Xuanlan's back, saw Zhong You again, and knew that she had something to deal with, so he sighed helplessly.

He had just arrived at the Grange this morning, and he thought he had come to play.

He, Yang'er and He Li are indeed here to play.

And Zhong Xuanlan came here because he didn't want to enter the palace and avoid Gonggong Li.

Ledgers and the affairs of trading houses and chambers of commerce will still be sent from Kyoto Castle, and she will still need to deal with them.

Accompanying them here to pick vegetables should be the time she squeezed out.

At this time, I heard He Li shouting: "Yang'er, come down, Yang'er, don't run......"

Yang'er giggled and staggered forward.

Wang Xuannian came back to his senses and saw that Yang'er was running in the vegetable field, so he hurriedly walked forward, picked Yang'er up, and slapped his ass by the way.

Yang'er twisted her body, wanted to get off the ground, and pouted, "Brother, put me down quickly, I'll help you pick vegetables." ”

As he spoke, he handed the unknown weed in his hand to Wang Xuannian, and Yang'er said again: "Cook for my brother." ”

Wang Xuannian took the weed, and after throwing it away, he said with disgust in his eyes: "Yang'er, you give me honesty, otherwise, I will let people send you back to the house." ”

When Yang'er heard this, her eyes looked around, but she didn't see Zhong Xuanlan's figure, her mouth curled, and she compromised: "Brother, I will be obedient." ”

Wang Xuannian rubbed his head and said, "Follow Oak to play elsewhere." ”

Yang'er asked, "Can I go fishing?" ”

Wang Xuannian refused: "No, if it's still cold today, you won't be able to stand it, and you have to take medicine if you're sick." ”

Yang'er frowned and said, "But the little brother from the next door also went, and he brought a fish back yesterday." ”

"He's used to it." Wang Xuannian looked at He Li and said, "Ah Li took his younger brother back to the house to play." After speaking, he put Yang'er down.

"Good!" He Li took Yang'er, who didn't really want to go back to the house, and left.

Wang Xuannian picked the vegetables that Yang'er had trampled on before leaving.
