It was still the sound of his mother Liang chopping wood in the kitchen that woke him up from his sleep, it was already dawn outside the window, Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly folded the quilt, went down the stairs, and didn't need to be instructed, he took a broom, opened the door of the pharmacy, and went to the door to clear the snow.

A night of snow covered the road that he had swept away yesterday, and he swept the floor while sighing, and his fingers were about to freeze, so he swept away all the snow near the left side of the pharmacy door. Then he took a small broom and swept the lobby, and wiped the tables and chairs of the medicine cabinet in the pharmacy with a rag. After doing these things, Zuo Gui just got up and came out. Look, he was busy cleaning the pharmacy and nodded slightly. After washing up under Liang's service, he took a cup of hot tea brewed by Liang, and sat behind a long table in the lobby of the pharmacy and sighed slowly.

Zuo Shaoyang didn't stand behind the medicine cabinet this time, he stood at the door with his sleeves folded, looking left and right at the pedestrians coming and going. There are only two and a half days before the deadline for paying rent, and at noon the day after tomorrow, if they can't find the money, the family will be on the streets, and in these two short days, they have to find 3,500 Wen, which is an astronomical amount for them!

He looked at the pedestrians coming and going, wondering how he could make money.

Until noon, not only could I not think of a way to make money, but I didn't even have a single patient come to the doctor. Think about it, it's all over the year, and it's about to be the New Year, who will come to see the disease at this time? If it is an emergency, they will all go to a big medical hall like Huimin Hall, and they will not come to Guizhi Hall. Although a stillborn woman was cured yesterday, this is far from enough to significantly increase Guizhitang's fame, after all, a medical hall pharmacy can only accumulate after many years of healing countless patients, rather than relying on one or two successful cases to immediately exchange for everyone's trust.

After lunch, Zuo Gui was looking up at the door, but at the moment he lowered his head with his sleeves cageed, so depressed that he wanted to burrow his head under the table.

Zuo Shaoyang finally couldn't stand still, he had to take the initiative to attack, and he must not sit still. He turned back to Zuo Gui and said, "Dad, I'll go out for a walk." Let's see if we can find a way to make money. ”

Zuo Gui lowered his head and hummed angrily, but did not raise his head.

Zuo Shaoyang caged his sleeves and walked slowly along the street to Huimin Hall. After thinking about it all night, the only person who can make money is his own medical skills, and no one comes to seek medical treatment when he sits in the pharmacy, so he can only go to someone for treatment. And the place where the most patients gather is Huimin Hall.

He came to the outside of Huimin Hall, although it was about to be the New Year, there were still many people in the hall waiting in line to see the disease, and the patients came in and out from time to time with the support of their families. Seeing him standing at the door, the pharmacy guy was a little surprised, and strode out with a smile: "Young Master Zuo is here, what are you doing?" - Do you want to sell musk again? Hey, hey, hey."

Zuo Shaoyang ignored his ridicule, still looking at the patients in the hall, I really hope that these people are here to see a doctor for themselves, if that's the case, after looking at it in one day, and then meeting a few generous serious patients who are willing to spend money, maybe they can raise enough three thousand five hundred Wen. But he knew very well in his heart that he was too young and unknown, and no one believed in his medical skills, and no one would come to him for medical treatment.

Seeing that he ignored him, the pharmacy guy pursed his lips, but still said with a smile: "Young Master Zuo, you can take a look, I'm busy going in!" He turned around and entered the lobby.

The patients waiting to see a doctor in the lobby and the accompanying family members also looked at him, and two of them whispered: "This is the young shopkeeper of Guizhitang, I heard that they Guizhitang cured a stillborn woman yesterday afternoon!" The woman was not cured in Huimin Hall, but asked their father to cure her. ”

"Really? I heard that they Guizhitang can't see a doctor well, and they can't see a cold and headache, can they still cure this disease? ”

"It's hard to say, people have a secret recipe, maybe they can cure this disease!"

"Yes, yes, that's not for sure."

……

Hearing their discussion, Zuo Shaoyang's eyes suddenly lit up, and an idea suddenly popped up in his heart, no matter whether it was useful or not, this was the first time, and he could only try. He put down the hand that was in his sleeve, straightened his robe, straightened the hood on his head, walked into Huimin Hall, and went straight to the cabinet.

The second shopkeeper of the pharmacy who received him yesterday saw him coming, and sneered: "It's Young Master Zuo, what kind of medicinal materials are you going to sell at a high price today?" ”

"Who sold you for a high price? Willing to buy and willing to sell! Zuo Shaoyang glared at him and muttered, "Why are you talking so ugly!" ”

The second shopkeeper saw that a patient was looking this way, and he hurriedly changed his face to a smile, and said with a pleasant face: "Young Master Zuo has a noble officer?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang looked left and right, leaned his head over, and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, the stillborn woman who came to your hospital for medical treatment the night before yesterday was cured in our Guizhi Hall yesterday afternoon, do you know about this matter?" ”

The second shopkeeper stared at him with a cold face for a moment, and said slowly: "What does Young Master Zuo mean by this?" Is it to underestimate our Huimin Tang medical skills? ”

"No, don't get me wrong, I'm just asking if you know about it?"

"You know? I don't know? ”

"Shopkeeper, you really misunderstood, I don't mean anything else, I came today to sell this prescription to you. I don't know if I'm interested? ”

"Oh?" The second shopkeeper looked at Zuo Shaoyang, and seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, he said to the guy next to him with a side face: "Go quickly, call the big shopkeeper!" ”

The big shopkeeper is the famous doctor Dr. Ni, the brother of the second shopkeeper, and the pharmacy opened by the brothers. Doctor Ni quickly came out of the back hall, and as soon as the second shopkeeper told him about it, Doctor Ni also looked at Zuo Shaoyang with some surprise, and after a while, he said, "Young Master Zuo, please speak in the back room!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang followed Dr. Ni into the back hall, there was a small living room inside, and after giving up the seat and sitting down, a guy served two teas, then retreated and closed the door.

Doctor Ni said slowly: "Yesterday's incident, the old man also heard about it, to be honest, the old man was very surprised, I didn't think that your hall could cure this terminal disease, admire and admire." ”

Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said: "Okay, to be honest, this recipe is my Zuo family's ancestral secret recipe, if it weren't for the tight money now, I wouldn't have betrayed the ancestral recipe, I don't know if Dr. Ni is interested in buying our recipe?" ”

Doctor Ni stared at Zuo Shaoyang for a moment and said, "Since it is the ancestral recipe of your Zuo family, you sell it to us, can you be the master?" ”

"Absolutely." Zuo Shaoyang lied casually, "My father asked me to come, I said it, we are in a hurry to use the money, otherwise we will not give it away." I also know that you Huimin Hall is fair, you have always been undeceiving, and you will never take advantage of people's danger, and you will definitely be able to give a suitable price. Therefore, there are so many pharmacies and medical halls, but I only came to your hall to discuss. Hey, hey, hey."

Hearing that Zuo Shaoyang was wearing a high hat for himself, Doctor Ni still looked faint and said, "How does the old man know that the recipe you gave Young Master Zuo is true or false?" ”

"I'll write you a letter of guarantee, with my Guizhitang reputation guarantee, absolutely give you the real prescription, you can try such a medical case in the future, if it doesn't work, I will return it twice! Moreover, with Dr. Ni's ability, it is not difficult to distinguish the truth of a prescription. ”

Doctor Ni nodded slowly: "That's the case, what price is Zuo Shaoyang going to ask for?" ”

"You bid, I believe you." Zuo Shaoyang didn't know how much money he could sell for this side.

Doctor Ni glanced at Zuo Shaoyang and said, "It's better for you to bid, if you want to sell something, naturally you bid first, if it's appropriate, you will buy it." ”

"That's right." Zuo Shaoyang lowered his head and thought about it, his five fingers opened, and the front and back lit up: "Ten taels of silver!" ”

"Hehe......" Doctor Ni smiled, his white beard trembled, and he shook his head gently: "Young Master Zuo is really joking, a prescription sells for ten taels of silver, it seems that Zuo Shaoyang is here for entertainment." ”

"Who's kidding?" Zuo Shaoyang's heart sank a little, "This recipe has saved people's lives, is it possible that the recipe that saves lives is not worth ten taels of silver?" ”

Dr. Ni stroked his white beard and said, "Do you know that Lao Yu has been practicing medicine for more than 30 years, and how many cases of stillbirths have been treated?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang shook his head.

"There won't be more than thirty pieces! In other words, it's rare to come across one in a year! ”

"Huh?"

"Does Young Master Zuo know that there are no more than thirty stillbirths in the old decay, and how many of them have been cured?"

Zuo Shaoyang shook his head again.
