Chapter 404: Visiting Song Lin
The slave wanted to pay Lang Zhong money, but Lang Zhong refused to accept it and said, "Shopkeeper Song said that he will pay for your consultation." "Just ask the slave to take a bag back to Chang'an and give it to Song Lin when he leaves.
As he spoke, he took down a cloth bag from his back and took out all the things inside, which turned out to be a bag of Chinese medicinal materials. Seeing this, the two guys were very excited, and rushed forward to discuss while inspecting, and said in unison: "These are rare high-grade medicinal materials!" Especially this Poria cocos, this Cordyceps, you look at this color, and this beard. ”
Song Lin just smiled on the sidelines. At this time, a person suddenly ran into the store and said repeatedly: "Shopkeeper Song helps." Song Lin asked: "Shopkeeper Wang, what's the matter, I see that you are out of breath." ”
Wang Er saw the ginseng scattered on the medicine case at a glance, and immediately snatched it up, saying, "Amitabha, I am finally saved." I'll borrow your ginseng first, and I'll send the money back. ”
After saying that, he turned around and ran. An elderly man in the store stomped his feet and said, "Shopkeeper, look...... This king scoundrel has robbed us of our things again. ”
Song Lin was silent for a moment and said, "Forget it, anyway, if he takes it away, it will also cure the disease and save people, as long as he doesn't spoil things." ”
The man said: "But the money he gave back is only a small amount, and we are at a loss, why should we cheapen him for nothing?" He can bear to find such a good thing by himself. Song Lin was silent, turned around and left.
Seeing that Chao Nu was standing aside, the man was puzzled, and immediately explained: "You must not know what's going on, right? That Wang Er also runs a medicinal herb shop, just now there must have been a big customer to buy medicinal materials in his store, he couldn't find the best ginseng for a while, so he came to us again. He'd done something like this before. Knowing that our shopkeeper is easy to talk to, not only does he not accept our affection. Let's not talk about it, but also say bad things secretly. said that the shopkeeper Song was a fool and broke the rules of the businessman. ”
Chao Nu said excitedly to the guy: "Shopkeeper Song is a great good person, a great good person, everyone knows it. It is not a man who says this. ”
The guy said, "yes." What a scoundrel. Do you know why Wang Er didn't go to other houses to rub things, but had to come to our store? ”
Chao Nu shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. The guy said, "We, the Song family pharmacy, have always only imported the best medicinal materials. Lang Zhong and the pharmacists in Chang'an City all know that if they want to find good medicine, they can only buy it in our store. My shopkeeper is loyal, and the price of the medicinal materials is very generous. Therefore, the people who purchase medicinal materials in the nearby towns and towns are willing to bring good medicines to our store. If they find any rare medicinal herbs, they must send a copy to our store first, because they know that the shopkeeper will never treat them badly. No, Zhou Langzhong's box of treasures is all entrusted to you to send back, and he wants him to take it to others, but there is no door. ”
Only then did the slave realize that the medicines that Song Lin gave himself and his old buddy for free were of good quality, and thought about it for a while: "Then the cost of my eye treatment." Shopkeeper Song will be included in the medicinal materials fee for Zhou Langzhong in the future. ”
The guy nodded, "It should be." Don't think about it, in the past ten years, there have been too many people who have been helped by Shopkeeper Song, and he won't remember this at all. ”
Since then, the court slaves have talked about Song Lin's deeds. I often hear people praise Song Lin. Song Lin has been doing righteous deeds in Chang'an West City for 20 years, and his reputation for helping the poor and helping the poor has spread all over the world.
Among them, some people like Wang Er laughed at him as a big idiot, and some people said that he was a profound and enlightened person.
Every now and then. Song Lin always smiled and said: "I, Song Lin, am just a person who makes money to support his wife and children, not a person with a sense." But the person who said I was a big idiot was also wrong. I have been buying and selling medicinal herbs for 20 years, and I have burned dozens or hundreds of bonds and IOUs. Some of them have become great officials, some of them have run several large states, and there are many of them who want to give me gifts. Even if there are hundreds of people who owe credit to death and have not repaid it, it will not prevent me Song Lin from becoming a rich person! I make money and profit is to see the long-term, because in the long run, so I can achieve great benefits, where like ordinary small businessmen, occasionally do not get debts, they change color and abuse each other and become enemies, their behavior is not very superficial and narrow-minded? In my opinion, they are the real idiots! ”
……
Li Tao couldn't help but sigh with emotion after hearing this: "This Song Lin is a strange person, and he is also a person who does great things. His ostensible good deeds seem to be a loss, but in fact he has gained great benefits. More and more people came to him for medicine, and so did he respond to people's requests. Some people who were discriminated against and abandoned by relatives and friends due to illness, or poor people like Chaonu, Song Lin treated them equally, and never treated them slowly. Some of them, once they developed or came to power again, would repay Song Lin more generously. Therefore, Song Lin was much richer than those short-sighted, mercenary quacks. ”
Hua Yunfeng nodded and said: "The thing you said, ordinary people can't see its benefits, and they will definitely think it's thankless." But Song Lin is different, he has a long-term vision, so I thought I had to ask him to help. ”
"Hua Langzhong, how do you know so clearly about this Song Lin matter?" Li Tao was a little strange.
"It was the slave who told me."
"Chao slave?"
"yes, he's my buddy now." Huayun Peak Road.
"Hua Langzhong, please go and call this courtenary! Let him lead the way, and we will visit this Song Lin. ”
……
"Shopkeeper Song, hello! I'm Hua Yunfeng from Hua's Clinic, and this is Li Langjun. I took the liberty to visit today, and I have something important to discuss with you! Where you scratch, you can see the sea. Hua Yunfeng took the initiative to greet Song Lin.
"Hua Langzhong, you're polite, we're also together, what's there to scratch or not." Song Lin was also very polite.
Song Lin is around forty years old, and his temperament is very good, but his face is full of melancholy.
"Shopkeeper Song, my name is Li Tao, and I do have a matter to discuss." Li Tao also reported his home.
"Li Tao?" Song Lin looked at Li Tao and guessed, "Could it be that you are the King of Lantian?" ”
"Exactly down there." Li Tao smiled.
"I don't know if the king of Lantian is here, it's really rude." Song Lin hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.
"Shopkeeper Song is polite, I've heard the name of Shopkeeper Song for a long time, I'm visiting you today!" Li Tao also replied.
Song Lin invited Li Tao and Hua Yunfeng into the house, and the three of them sat down, and Song Lin asked: "I don't know what the important thing that King Lantian and Hua Lang said is......
Li Tao said: "Originally, there was something important to discuss when I visited the shopkeeper of Song, but now there are more important things to do." ”
"More important?"
Hearing Li Tao say this, not only Song Lin was puzzled, but also Hua Yunfeng, who came over, was also confused. (To be continued......)
