Chapter 54: The Little Army
In the pharmacy, Zhou looked at Hui Niang with some puzzlement and asked, "Sister, what are you talking about acupuncture?" What is the matter with Guan Xiaolang? ”
Hui Niang was stunned and said: "My husband once mentioned that many doctors in big cities treat people, and many of them use acupuncture, that is, they use silver needles to pierce the acupuncture points on people's bodies, which can cure diseases and save people, and I have never seen them before." Today, I saw Xiaolang prick the patient with a needle, which is quite similar to the acupuncture method that my husband said. ”
Zhou frowned suspiciously, and then shook his head categorically: "Sister, you are too careful...... Even those doctors in the county town who are skilled in medicine don't understand, where will he understand it when he is a child? But I saw that the man had some silver needles on his body...... Han Wa'er, you say, why do you want to stab him with a needle? ”
Shen Xi knew that he couldn't explain this matter clearly, so he had to use the most primitive, simple and crude method - denial!
"Mother, aunt, that ...... I really didn't do it. Shen Xi's face was full of grievances.
Hui Niang nodded slightly, although there was a trace of doubt on her face, she did not continue to investigate.
Maybe in her heart, she doesn't believe that Shen Xi knows the esoteric method of acupuncture before she is seven years old, it is not something that can be solved by casually taking a few needles and pricking a few times on a person's body, she must have a deep understanding of the acupoints of the human body, and she needs to practice for a long time. Even if someone was willing to teach Shen Xi, it was impossible for Shen Xi to have such advanced craftsmanship at such a young age.
Seeing that Hui Niang and Zhou no longer asked, Shen Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now the disturbance outside and the onlookers have finally passed, and the street has returned to its former calm. Hui Niang calmed down her emotions, got up and said, "Sister, it's not too early, it's time to open the door for business." At this time, Xiaolang should also go to school, don't let him delay his studies. ”
Only then did Zhou react.
It was also yesterday that he got the silver, and under the excitement, Zhou Shiguang thought about making new clothes for Shen Xi and Lin Dai, but this time when he came back from outside, he encountered a patient making trouble, and he almost forgot about it.
When I moved all the door panels, I saw that there were many people waiting outside to buy medicine.
After the previous incident of the patient coming back to life, the people in the city felt that the medicine in Huiniang Pharmacy had reached the point where they could revive the dead, and now they are competing to buy medicine from Huiniang Pharmacy regardless of whether other pharmacies are still reducing prices and conducting promotions.
The people's herd mentality is very strong, and Shen Xi knows that with this matter, it will be more and more difficult for competitors in the city to collapse Hui Niang's pharmacy, at least in a short period of time, no one will come to the door to find fault.
When Shen Xi came back from school in the afternoon, the shop closed early.
After inquiring, it turned out that the shopkeepers of other pharmacies in the city knew that they could no longer have a hard time with Hui Niang, so they wanted to discuss with her about unifying the price of medicinal materials, which was actually a compromise in disguise.
After all, Hui Niang is a woman, and it is a little inappropriate to go out alone to discuss things with those men, so she wants to ask Zhou to go with her. Zhou was very embarrassed: "Sister, it's not that you don't know, I speak angrily on weekdays, and it's very easy to offend people." If I go, I can't be angry and scold them, but I will embarrass you, sister. ”
Shen Xi persuaded beside him: "Mother, it's the most suitable for you to go...... Those people should be scolded well, and if they dare to calculate their aunt behind their backs, they should be mentally prepared to be scolded. ”
Hui Niang smiled knowingly and said, "What Xiaolang said is that if there is no sister by her side, my sister is really afraid that she will not be able to cope with it." ”
Zhou finally nodded in agreement.
Shen Xi shouted, "I'll go too." ”
"You don't get involved in adult affairs, stay at home honestly and do your homework, and I'm going to go to the school in a few days to ask Mr., are you lazy?" After Zhou finished teaching Shen Xi, he turned his head and looked at Hui Niang, "Sister, let's go." ”
After more than an hour, the two came back, Shen Xi took a look, the two looked normal, and they should not be angry on this trip.
After entering the door, Zhou and Hui Niang said a few words, and then went from the back door to the back alley. Hui Niang was busy taking medicine from the warehouse in the backyard and replenishing the medicine sold out in the drawer of the front shop.
Shen Xi asked, "Auntie, how are things discussed?" ”
Zhou had already walked out of the door, and when he heard this, he turned around and scolded: "What does it have to do with your kid?" Hurry up and pack up your things and go home, it's rare to close the shop early today, and make something for you to eat when you go back. ”
Shen Xi smiled and ignored it, and continued to stay and do his homework. After Zhou left, Shen Xi stood up, walked to Hui Niang's side in a few steps, and pulled her shirt: "Auntie, I'll help you." ”
Hui Niang put down the dustpan, lowered her body, and said with a smile: "Xiaolang, no matter how smart you are, you can't help with everything...... Let's wait until you grow taller! ”
Shen Xi naturally knew that it was impossible to put the medicinal herbs into the drawer on the cabinet with his small body, so he stepped forward to speak, one was to get closer to Hui Niang, even if he just smelled the faint body fragrance on her body, he felt refreshed, and his mood was invisibly much more comfortable, and the other was to ask about the results of this discussion with those pharmacy managers in the city.
"Auntie, it's not easy for you to do things alone. If I were a few years older, I could help you...... Actually, I want to know, those pharmacies are looking for people to slander your reputation, aren't you angry? ”
Hui Niang smiled slightly: "What's so angry, a woman shows up to do business, and she is going to be angry...... This is something I expected for a long time. ”
Shen Xixin said that Hui Niang has a good mentality and can forbear, which is exactly the quality that must be the shopkeeper of a pharmacy, not like Zhou's, once there is something wrong, he will definitely not be able to help it, and a little trouble will make things worse.
Hui Niang continued to work.
Although Shen Xi was short and couldn't help put the medicine into the drawer, he was able to go to the backyard to carry the medicinal herbs, saving Hui Niang a lot of things. By the way, Shen Xi also asked what the results of this trip were.
“…… The medicine in our shop, the price is sold according to the purchase price plus 30%, if there is any backlog in other pharmacies, we will go and come in, so that there is no need to find outsiders to buy. Hui Niang introduced.
Shen Xi shook his head when he heard this...... After all, I was cheated by those people!
The medicinal materials of other pharmacies can't be sold, and they can only be moldy and rotten, but now Hui Niang actually promised to take back these people's medicinal materials and sell them, isn't this cheaper for those people?
"Auntie, it's wrong for you to do this...... What if those people adulterate the herbs? I've heard that there are a lot of medicinal herbs, and even connoisseurs can easily look away and buy fakes, not to mention that they are clearly targeting us, and they will definitely think of ways to make tricks. ”
When Hui Niang heard this, she couldn't help but stop what she was doing, frowning and thinking: "Xiaolang, what you said is not unreasonable...... Hey!? Why didn't I think of that? ”
Shen Xi thought to himself, you are a compassionate woman who can't even be a profiteer, it would be strange if you could think of it. This world is sinister, and even brothers and fathers and sons can frame each other in the business field, let alone who will really pity her, a helpless little widow.
"Auntie, if we don't do this, we will harvest the medicinal materials that they can't sell, but let's sell them first, and when we are sure that there is nothing to do, we will give them the silver to buy, and we will go to the government to find someone to witness, if anyone eats their medicine and has a problem, we will not only not give them silver, but also let the government punish their crimes." Shen Xi proposed.
Hui Niang's face was a little embarrassed: "This doesn't seem to be good......"
"When they found someone to slander their aunt, did they think about it?" Shen Xi was indignant, "Now my aunt doesn't cheat them, anyway, their medicine can't be sold if it rots in the warehouse, and now we are willing to help them sell it, it's too late for them to be happy." They want to replace the old herbs with new ones for nothing, and they want to be beautiful. ”
Although Hui Niang felt that this was inappropriate, she still nodded after all, in the end, what Shen Xi said made some sense.
In the end, Hui Niang lowered her head, looked at Shen Xi and said, "I don't know what kind of fate my aunt had in her last life, and she can actually meet your family in this life." ”
"God treats me well, in the future, with your little military advisor to give advice, and your mother to help me, business will definitely get better and better."
