Chapter 137: The Laboratory
When Shen Xi went to the pharmacy the next day to see Hui Niang again, he didn't say a word about the handkerchief, and Hui Niang didn't have to ask for the handkerchief back.
Maybe in Hui Niang's heart, it was originally an ordinary handkerchief, and it didn't have any special meaning, so Shen Xi just took it, and it didn't matter at all.
However, Zhou found that Hui Niang was in good spirits, and asked with a smile: "My sister looks radiant today, but she slept well yesterday?" β
Hui Niang glanced at Shen Xi, who was packing her schoolbag next to her, nodded and said, "That's right...... I did have some worries before, but I figured it out last night, so I slept well. β
Zhou nodded with satisfaction: "It's good to figure it out, I'm afraid that sister, you have something to hide in your heart, and you can't sleep if you think about it." In the past few days, the family has no conscience to come back on time every day, and I don't have time to talk to my sister about yourself, today I specially asked him to stay in the workshop to keep vigil, and I took Han Wa'er and Dai'er to sleep at night. β
Hui Niang smiled and didn't say anything, but Lu Xi'er clapped her hands and cheered: "Oh, I can listen to Brother Shen Xi's story again." β
Lin Dai glared at Lu Xi'er, and couldn't help but pout, faintly dissatisfied in her heart. Every time I stay overnight in the pharmacy, the three little guys will sleep on the same bed, the weather is warm in summer, but it is nothing in the winter, and it is very cold at night in winter, not only to grab the quilt, but also to grab pillows, towels or something, she and Lu Xi'er are very happy.
Shen Xi went to school as before.
Approaching the end of the year, it was finally time for the annual vacation, and Shen Xi couldn't help but feel a lot better. Zhou stayed to take care of the store, and Hui Niang would go to the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce to convey the admission money and annual fee proposed by Shen Xi. ζ½Άγθ¨γζ Ό Intoxicated Chapter has been uploaded
The hundreds of shops that wanted to join the Chamber of Commerce before, after these two charging standards were made public, there were immediately a small half of the weak ones who retreated, after all, many people just wanted to get the free shelter of the Chamber of Commerce, and they were happy when it came to money.
However, there are still more than 50 shops, which are not the kind of deep-rooted and large-scale brands in the city, and are somewhat oppressed by some competitors, and feel that it is very necessary to join the Chamber of Commerce to protect their vital interests, and they have paid the admission money and annual fees without the slightest hesitation.
The number of members of the Chamber of Commerce has grown from more than 200 to nearly 300, although it seems that there is nothing special in terms of the growth of the number, but the key is to expand the influence of the Chamber of Commerce to all walks of life. In the future, the Chamber of Commerce will not only be a pharmacy Chamber of Commerce, but it is more appropriate to call it the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce.
With the expansion of the scale, the Chamber of Commerce has gained momentum for a while.
In order to reassure the members of the elderly, the "Elder Hall" met again and revised some of the terms, stipulating that no matter how long the history and scale of the new store to join the Chamber of Commerce is, it cannot be a member of the "Elder Hall" in the first six months, so as to demonstrate the superiority of the old members.
However, after all, before this, the members of the "Elder Hall" were only operating pharmacies, and they did not know much about other businesses, so Hui Niang proposed that after the "Elders' Hall" vote, it was decided to increase the number of two elders from these more than 50 shops, expanding the original six elder seats to eight seats.
Coupled with Hui Niang, the big boss of the Chamber of Commerce, there will be nine votes when voting in case of trouble.
The Chamber of Commerce has a certain scale, the system has gradually improved, and gradually began to give full play to its advantages in foreign expansion.
Because the printing workshop was smashed and looted, it was basically closed from the end of November to the beginning of the lunar month, and after the end of the event, the New Year was getting closer and closer, and the business of buying and selling New Year's paintings gradually returned to normal.
The stolen New Year's pictures circulating on the market were quickly digested by the market, and the common people still had great enthusiasm for colorful New Year's pictures, and a large number of orders came one after another.
Even in the face of this situation, the wholesale price of color New Year pictures in the printing workshop has not risen, and the unit price of each chapter still ranges from 45 to 50 wen according to the number of single orders.
Every day Shen Mingjun is busy in the printing workshop, as the shopkeeper of the printing workshop, Shen Mingjun has his own personal career for the first time, and he does it very carefully.
After entering the winter, because Yang's Pharmacy and Lu's Pharmacy began to make medicines, the effect was remarkable, coupled with the fermentation of the Chamber of Commerce incident and the subsequent hype, so that the people in and outside the city knew that Hui Niang, the goddess doctor of countless living people and thousands of Buddhas, and the business of the pharmacy improved.
Hui Niang and Zhou's daily lives are busy and fulfilling.
Zhou is mainly responsible for the operation of the pharmacy, and she has five maids around her to keep the pharmacy in order. Hui Niang put more energy on the side of the Chamber of Commerce, in addition to constantly attracting new businesses from all over the eight counties to join the Chamber of Commerce, but also to find a stable source of goods with high quality and low prices for the Chamber of Commerce, and at the same time looking for a way to ship, many times not in the pharmacy.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, the "School of Learning" began to conduct the year-end academic assessment.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Shen Xi deliberately concealed it, just showed the content of the "University" taught by Feng Huaqi on weekdays, and did not extend it, and among the more than ten students at the same level, he was set by Feng Huaqi in the fourth place, which also left plenty of room for his future "progress".
The next day, Shen Xi took the exam results home, not surprisingly, Shen Mingjun and his wife were very happy, when Feng Huaqi asked Shen Xi to skip a grade, they were worried that the teaching quality of Ninghua County was not as good as that of Fucheng, and Shen Xi could not keep up with the progress of learning, but now Shen Xi's grades are not outstanding, but they are not lagging behind.
The two firmly believe that as long as Shen Xi gradually adapts to the learning methods and methods of Fucheng, he will definitely regain the first place like in Ninghua.
With the end of the year-end assessment, the school began to take annual vacation, and Shen Xi finally ushered in a long vacation.
After the holiday, Shen Xi can basically play without distractions, with his mental age, he doesn't have much interest in playing at all, only when Lin Dai and Lu Xi'er are entangled, he will accompany him to play for a while. The rest of the time, he prefers to delve into and promote the technological innovation of the printing workshop.
In the past, Shen Xi had to do experiments secretly, but now everyone in his family knows that all the technologies are created by him, which is related to the future of the printing workshop, as well as the bulging of everyone's pockets, so he has adopted an attitude of neither supporting nor opposing. Shen Xi was finally able to take out his tools openly, Hui Niang felt sorry for him, and specially prepared a well-lit and well-ventilated room for Shen Xi in the backyard of the workshop as a "laboratory".
In Shen Xi's laboratory, in addition to the basic tools such as the four treasures of the study and the printing and engraving, there are also various colors of ink that he mixed before, plus the various chemicals he bought from Xiu'er in the city, this is basically a real chemical laboratory.
Lin Dai and Lu Xi'er, the two little loli, liked to go in and play with Shen Xi at first, but after spilling a few jars and corroding a few big holes on the ground, Shen Xi strictly forbade them to enter the laboratory, because Shen Xi's test bench included bottles and jars containing dangerous chemicals such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, caustic soda, and soda ash.
During the reign of Ming Hongzhi, the people were able to buy some rough glassware, which were basically opaque, and were not much different from porcelain in appearance, but much more expensive than porcelain. The reason why glassware is used in laboratories is that glassware is thicker and heavier than porcelain, and it is not easy to break.
Shen Xi originally wanted to study the pure flat glass, but after several efforts, there was not much progress, so he had to put down everything and continue to study his ink.
