Chapter 48: Unexpected Delays

The Liang family and Zuo Gui's father and son had already taken out the luggage and packages, and Zuo Gui said to Zhao Sanniang gloomily: "Sanniang, we brought our clothes, nothing else, keep the room money." Thank you for your care over the years, I owe you a lot of rent that I haven't paid back, I'm really sorry, I still owe you 4,100 Wen, I will try my best to raise money to pay you back. With that, he turned his head to look at the pharmacy he had worked so hard to run, sighed, and walked out with his head down.

"Wait!" Zhao Sanniang looked at their family, then at the small package in their hands, and also looked around at the dim pharmacy, and then sighed long: "Alas, I have been renting it to you for so many years, to be fair, you have done your best to pay the house money, besides, I really don't want to open an oil and salt shop in my shop or something, it's very dirty, I like your medicinal fragrance." Look at how pitiful you are all at once. Who told me Sanniang to have a good heart, so let's make concessions again, and the remaining 4,100 study money will be paid by you on the fifteenth day of the first month! How? ”

Zuo Gui's family is really reluctant to this pharmacy, which embodies their hard work, and they want to keep it in every possible way, but the sky is not as good as they want, and in the end they still have to be swept away, and there is nothing for the medicinal herb signboard, it is impossible to open a pharmacy in another place, and it is a helpless move to go to the village to be a bell doctor. How to live this in the future, Zuo Gui was in a gloomy mood.

Unexpectedly, when I was about to leave, I suddenly heard that Zhao Sanniang was willing to give them another half a month, like seeing a clear sky in a downpour! They couldn't help but cheer. Although it was only 15 days of grace, there was no hope for hope.

Zuo Gui trembled with excitement and said again and again: "Thank you!" Thank you Sanniang! We will definitely raise money as soon as possible. ”

Liang and Fennel were also very excited, seeing that Zhao Sanniang was coming with people, it was obviously not a bluff, they were really ready to drive them away, and they couldn't figure out why they suddenly changed their minds when they came, and they were very grateful.

Zuo Shaoyang was even more overjoyed, if he has time, he will have a chance, think of a way to do it in half a month, and there should still be hope for earning five taels of silver. Le Hehe grinned and said to Zhao Sanniang: "Third aunt, thank you, - it's good to eat melon seeds, melon seeds are not like hawthorn, no matter how hard you knock them, they won't hurt your stomach." Hey. ”

Zhao Sanniang glanced at him with a smile, waved her hand to Zuo Gui and the others who thanked him again and again: "Okay, but our ugly words are still in front, the debt is not more than the New Year, this is the rule, I have delayed it until the last day of the New Year, and I can't delay it anymore, I have to raise the remaining 4,100 study money for me before the fifteenth day of the first month, and I can't delay a penny." Otherwise, we will have to turn our faces on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. ”

Zuo Gui said with a smile: "That's it, Sanniang has been given so much grace, we can't raise money that day, we have nothing to say, don't work Sanniang to speak, we will leave by ourselves." ”

"Okay, that's all! I'm leaving, so hurry up and prepare for the New Year! How rich you are! After saying that, he gave a salute, twisted his waist and went out with melon seeds.

The big man with a sideways face didn't understand why Zhao Sanniang suddenly changed his surname, glanced at Zuo Gui and them, hurriedly turned around and ran out of the pharmacy, hurried a few steps to catch up, and asked with a smile: "Sanniang, you said it well, I have to drive them away today no matter what." Why did you suddenly change? ”

Zhao Sanniang leaned at him, threw a melon seed into his mouth, slammed it open, the melon seed kernel fell on the tip of his tongue, pounced, spit out the melon seed shell, and smiled a little proudly: "What do you know!" Let me ask you, what did the second shopkeeper of Huimin Hall do just now? ”

"Well, buy Guizhitang's recipe."

"It's over! Think about it, Huimin Hall, what a big faΓ§ade it is, the prince in Chang'an City has been sick. In the entire Hezhou Mansion Pharmacy Medical Hall, he claimed to be the second, and no one dared to call him the first! When did you hear that they bought prescriptions from Huimin Hall? Today, I actually came to Guizhitang to buy a son, hehe, don't listen to his second shopkeeper who looks like a dog, in the end, he is also here to ask someone to sell it to him, but he wants to bargain while he is in danger, and he is full of feces when he speaks, which annoys people, and he turns his face twice. ”

The big man patted his head: "Take a photo!" Could it be that this Guizhitang really has an important secret recipe? ”

"Nonsense! If Guizhitang's recipe doesn't matter, Huimin Tang will pull down the shelves of the first medical hall, and he is not afraid of losing people to come to the door to buy? ”

"But it didn't sell in the end, did you? I still haven't exchanged it for money! ”

"You know the! Just know the money. Zhao Sanniang spit out a melon seed shell in his face, "If you sell a recipe, it's gone, how much money can it be sold?" Make money with this method, that's the money you can't make! ”

Hengrou Dahan is Zhao Sanniang's cousin, surnamed Tu, who practiced some fists and feet, and is said to have practiced iron head skills, so people gave him the nickname "Tu Iron Head". is a gangster, usually helping people collect debts and watch casinos or something, Zhao Sanniang asked him to help collect debts this time, he gave money, the so-called eating people's soft mouth, taking other people's hands short, he naturally didn't dare to put his cousin in front of Zhao Sanniang. At this time, he didn't even dare to take off the melon seed shell on his face, let him stick it on his cheek, and said with a smile: "Listening to Sanniang say this, I understand in my heart, I see that Zuo Gui is still a ghost, and deliberately led this Huimin Hall to buy it, so as to take the opportunity to let people know that he has a treasure prescription, isn't this a good sign?" ”

"That's, think about it, it's only been a few days, they have collected 5,000 wen and handed it over, I secretly scanned it, they also treated a stillborn woman, and the woman didn't even cure Huimin Tang! Today, the second shopkeeper of Huimin Tang came to buy a prescription, is this not clear, so ah, Guizhitang still has the ability to hide! ”

"I don't understand this, if you really have the ability, why can't he even pay the rent for so many years?"

"Call you stupid and you'll have a runny nose right away!" Zhao Sanniang took another sip and said, "This person, when he is lucky, he has a time to carry his back, and if he is unlucky, it is difficult to turn over no matter how good he is. Do you understand? Look, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the money for this house will definitely be paid! In the future, Guizhitang's business will definitely improve! I don't have to worry about rent. ”

"Well, it's still Sanniang's idea! I see that this family is sincere, and it is also difficult to pay the rent, no more than other people, and they are all over the place. ”

"Exactly." Zhao Sanniang looked left and right, lowered her voice and said: "If you turn around, you will spread the news everywhere, and you will say that the diseases that Huimin Tang can't cure are all cured by Guizhi Tang, and the second shopkeeper of Huimin Tang also ran to Guizhi Tang and begged to buy other people's Guizhi Tang recipes at a high price, but people didn't sell them, and the second shopkeeper had to slip away." ”

Tu Tietou said strangely: "Huimin Hall is not a high price, and it is difficult to listen to it......

"You idiot!" Zhao Sanniang raised her foot and kicked Tu Tietou's fat buttocks, "What are you doing with your mouth open?" I won't make it up! ”

"Yes, yes." Tu Tietou was busy rubbing his buttocks, and he smiled. "Sanniang, don't worry, I'm good at this. Hey hey"

――――――――――――

Guizhitang. The family is excitedly discussing why Sanniang changed her mind. After talking about it for a while, I couldn't figure it out.

Liang smiled: "Okay, no matter what, there are still fifteen days to raise money, let's talk about the New Year first!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Fennel said, "Mother, how much money can you spend for the New Year?" ”

Liang glanced at her husband Zuo Gui and said, "Your father has the final say." ”

Zuo Gui said: "There are still more than 200 yuan at home, and we promised to pay the rent on the fifteenth day of the first month, but this money cannot be moved." Seeing that their faces were full of disappointment, Zuo Gui thought for a while, and said: "But I still have to spend this year, so it's okay, how about taking a hundred Wen for the New Year?" ”

Fennel pouted and said, "Dad, what can you do with a hundred wen?" Now the food is so expensive, a pig's head costs 100 yuan, how can there be money to buy anything else!

Liang sighed lightly and said, "If you can save it, you can save a little." The peach charm is to be changed, there is still some red paper at home, cut the window flowers and paste them, some festive on the line, firecrackers, or buy a few, the first day of the New Year to put away evil and attract wealth. Both of you are sincere, and you will save money for the new year's clothes and New Year's money. Just buy some rice noodles, a few knives of pork, a pot of wine, and use them to worship the ancestors for the New Year, and then part of them will be used for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the rest will be prepared for the second day of the New Year to come to the family to pay a gift for the New Year. ”
