The place where Chen Ge went was Puji Hall.

When Wu Yan saw her, she immediately greeted her and frowned and looked her up and down, "Madam, are you okay?" ”

Yesterday, she wanted to stay in the Hou Mansion until Mrs. came back, but then it was too late, and she heard that Mrs. was safe, so she listened to Zhong Niang's persuasion and went home first.

But I couldn't let go of it in my heart, and now I was relieved when I saw Chen Ge standing up.

"What can I do, jumping around." Chen Ge raised his eyebrows amusedly and said, "I came here today because I wanted to ask you something." I want to make a pharmacy in Jizhou, do you have a recommended store? ”

As soon as she said this, everyone couldn't help but look at her in surprise.

Zhong Niang hurriedly said, "Madam, you ...... You don't mean ......"

Didn't you say you were going to get out of here in the future? And why do you want to open a pharmacy?

It's just that when the words were about to come out, he still thought that this was not the place to speak, coughed lightly, and turned a corner, "When did you have this idea?" The slave didn't notice it at all. ”

Chen Ge glanced at her, he didn't know what she wanted to say, and said, "It's been a long time ago, and it's not a way for me to use Pujitang's raw materials and tools to make medicine and sell it in Pujitang."

My dowry plus the money for selling drugs these days is tighter, I should be able to open this pharmacy, if it can go well, I can invest in the money to open a pharmacy will soon be able to return to the cost and even make money, when I don't want to open, I can also make a profit by selling the store, and it is a no-loss business. ”

In the end, Pujitang is just a small pharmacy, and it mainly sells Chinese medicinal materials that have not been processed, and the pharmaceutical tools are not complete, and there are few, it is difficult to achieve mass production, and if it cannot be mass-produced, it will not be able to make a lot of money.

Moreover, she has been using Pujitang's Chinese herbal medicines, and the cost is also high, Wu Yan has proposed several times to sell the medicinal materials to her at cost price, but she can not accept it.

Even if the cost of medicinal materials is low, the manpower and material resources spent on procurement and transportation along the way must be counted, and she still has to put the medicine in their store to sell, and they have done their best to give her a place to sell medicine for free.

When the time comes, she will make enough money, and before leaving, she will sell the store and make a profit, which will be enough.

Zhong Niang quickly understood what her wife meant, but now she felt that it was okay for her wife to stay, and she only felt very entangled for a while.

"By the way," Chen Ge turned to Wu Yan and said, "I also want to ask, how do you usually stock goods in your store?" If you don't feel comfortable saying it, don't ...... it."

"What's inconvenient to say about this," Wu Yan said with a smile: "Some of our medicinal materials were sold to us by farmers who specialized in collecting medicines, and we found a few farmers who specialized in collecting medicines for us, and some of them were bought by entrusting caravans, after all, some medicinal materials could not be found here, so we could only rely on caravans that traveled south and north."

Just ......"

Wu Yan paused slightly, and said: "Each caravan generally only comes twice a year, mainly in spring and autumn, if you don't calculate the amount of medicinal materials to buy in advance, it is likely that you don't have a certain medicinal material when you want it, or the medicinal materials have been sold out before the caravan comes."

The middle price of the caravan in the middle is also very strong, so except for some capable large pharmacies, few pharmacies can buy medicinal materials from the caravans in large quantities, even our family, and we only buy some necessary medicinal materials from them, and we dare not buy more. ”

Chen Ge frowned slightly.

She had already noticed this before, there were not many medicinal materials in Pujitang, and sometimes she needed to use a certain medicinal material to make medicine, and she didn't have it all over Jizhou.

At this time, no one has the concept of traditional Chinese medicine planting, and can only rely on artificial picking, and the real backing on the mountain and the water on the water.

Many commonly used medicinal materials do not grow in the north, such as angelica, sand kernel, realgar, white front, etc......

Chen Ge couldn't help but ponder, when she was planning to open a pharmacy, she really forgot about this, because the procurement of modern medicinal materials was too convenient, and she didn't need to think about this problem at all before.

However, if she purchased medicinal materials from the caravan, the middle price was unacceptable to ordinary people, as Wu Yan said, and the money in her hand might not be enough.

Chen Ge thought for a moment and asked, "What if we organize a caravan to go out to purchase?" ”

Wu Yan shook his head and said, "It's so simple to form a caravan by yourself, the money for hiring people, and the expenses during the journey are all a lot of expenses.

Not to mention that in this world today, there are bandits everywhere, that is, they have worked hard to buy medicinal materials and come back, if they are unlucky, they will be robbed halfway, for us small pharmacies, the gains outweigh the losses, it is better to grit your teeth and buy it from the caravan that has come to Jizhou! ”

That's the reason.

Even after she buys the medicinal materials back, she can also sell them to other pharmacies and medical centers in Jizhou City like other caravans, but the risks that may be encountered along the way are indeed difficult to estimate.

Chen Ge thought for a while, but didn't come up with any good solution, so he could only put it aside first, and after asking Wu Yan about some shops in Jizhou that were suitable for opening pharmacies, he went back to Yanhou's Mansion.

When he arrived in the room, Chen Ge took out a small wooden box and handed it to Guo Wentao and said: "I want to leave the matter of the store to you, Zhong Niang and they are all women, and it is easy to suffer losses when negotiating with others.

The money in this small wooden box is estimated to be enough for a good store, if it is not enough, you can tell me again. ”

Guo Wentao solemnly accepted it.

He naturally knew that after the incident with Dr. Zong, Mrs. really regarded him as her own.

Chen Ge likes to talk to smart people, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Also, go to the surrounding villages to find out which farmers usually have the habit of picking and selling medicines, and see if you can find a few loyal and honest ones to supply us with medicinal materials for a long time in the future." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand!"

After finishing speaking, Guo Wentao left to do business.

Zhong Niang couldn't help but go to the door to look at the back of the man leaving, and couldn't help sighing: "This Guo Erlang is neat and reliable, although it is a little dull and wooden, but it is indeed the best choice to live at home, but it's a pity ......"

Chen Ge couldn't help but glance at her, "What's a pity?" ”

Zhong Niang glanced at her wife, "It's a pity that she looks not too young." ”

She can't say that she is now looking forward to her wife being able to live a good life with the prince, so it is a pity to give up the idea of Guo Erlang becoming a prince, right?

Chen Ge didn't know what Zhong Niang was thinking, so he pursed his lips and didn't bother to tell her.

The days passed without waves for a few days, and in the past few days, Chen Ge has not been idle, and has been making some preliminary preparations for opening a pharmacy.

On this day, she came back from looking at the shops Guo Wentao had selected, and unexpectedly found that Wei Yuan had come to her yard.

Looking at Wei Yuan, who was sitting on the couch in the front hall drinking a cup of hot tea, she was surprised for a moment before she walked in and said with a smile: "It's okay for the prince to come over suddenly." ”

The woman who walked in from outside was wearing a white shirt with wide sleeves embroidered with plum blossom patterns, and the lower body was a pink and white striped intercolored skirt, and a plum blossom hairpin was simply inserted into the bun, which was indescribably elegant and feminine, and she couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment, her throat was a little tight, and she said: "I'm busy with official business these days, and I haven't had time to see you." ”
