Chapter 54: The Way to Get Along

In the back kitchen, the things on the ox cart have been unloaded and put away, and after Xiao Er weighed it, he held a thing that looked like an account book and handed it to Tian Qingshan.

Tian Qingshan didn't talk much at the moment, opened the account book, and carefully checked it twice.

Then, he took out a money bag directly from his arms and handed it to Zhao Shanlin.

It is the silver coin of river fish and chicken food green this time.

"Three hundred catties of river fish, in average condition, three and a half pounds, a total of one thousand and fifty dollars,"

"Two hundred catties of river fish, fewer fish bones, five wen a catty, a total of 1,000 yuan,"

"Three hundred catties of chicken food, ten catties per catty, a total of three thousand yuan."

"A total of five hangs and fifty dollars."

"The money is here, you count."

Zhao Shanlin took it in his hand, untied the rope on it, took out the silver money inside, and counted it carefully.

I counted back and forth twice, no more, no less, to confirm that the amount of money was just right.

Zhao Shanlin was satisfied with the silver money he got this time and put it into his clothes together with the money bag.

Arching his hand to Tian Qingshan, the two exchanged two words.

Zhao Shanlin drove the ox cart out of Qixiang Tower.

Instead of going home, Zhao Shanlin drove the ox cart forward and came to the pharmacy just across the street from Qixiang Building.

After being reminded by Dr. Wang, Zhao Fuxiang told Li about the method of concocting and drying herbs after he went back.

The Li family naturally wanted to make this money, so in addition to catching fish, the female relatives of the family had another job of concocting and drying herbs every day.

However, the work of concocting and drying herbs is not good.

Therefore, after several experiments, the Liu family had to retreat from the front desk to the background and began to start picking the fresh herbs intact, and the rest of the herbs were processed and dried by the Li family.

Recently, the weather has been good, so their family has made an appointment with the pharmacy to deliver it every three days.

Today is the three-day period for the delivery of herbs.

Stop at the door of the pharmacy.

Zhao Shanlin used his strength to unload the only few remaining baskets on the ox cart.

With the help of the medicine boy, he was successfully carried into the backyard of the medicine hall.

At this time, the pharmacy had not yet opened.

Doctor Wang was also still resting, so there were only two medicine boys in the entire pharmacy to greet him.

Take out the small scale for weighing the herbs, two medicine boys, one to take, one to weigh, little by little to weigh the herbs in the basket, after weighing, quote the price.

"Knotweed, a total of five catties and six taels, all of which are of the highest quality, one catty and fifty-five wen, a total of three hundred and eight wen."

"The stone whip, a total of eight catties and eight taels, of which six catties of the upper product, one catty of forty-five wen, two catties of eight taels of the middle and upper grades, one catty of thirty wen, a total of three hundred and fifty-four wen."

"Motherwort ......"

“……”

"A total of 1,850 dollars."

When the medicine boy finished counting all the herbs in the basket, another medicine boy on the side hurriedly took out the corresponding silver money and handed it over.

Zhao Shanlin wiped his hands, took it according to the previous method and continued to count the money.

As for the purchase price of herbal medicines, the Zhao family is relatively satisfied.

Although it is more troublesome to concoct and dry, it is still light compared to fishing for fish and shrimp.

In these childhood days, Li basically concocted medicinal materials at home every day, and with the practice of techniques, his efficiency has improved a lot.

"Two little brothers, there are a lot of herbs at home recently, and the three-day period is a bit long, I don't know if it can be changed to two days."

Today, the herbs in their yard have far surpassed dried fish to become the largest proportion of the yard items.

Although they have just finished delivering a wave of herbs now, their family will soon finish concocting new herbs.

If they don't cut back on the delivery time, their herbs will slow down.

At that time, it will definitely delay the speed of their family's money, which they do not want to see.

That's why Zhao Shanlin asked such a sentence.

In response to Zhao Shanlin's suggestion, the two medicine boys glanced at each other and nodded, "It's okay." ”

Actually, once every two days, it's also more beneficial for their pharmacy.

Especially in recent days, there have been a lot of people who have come to grab medicines, and these ordinary herbs like the current one are the most tight.

If they could really change it from once every three days to once every two days, their pharmacy would be more burdenless.

After receiving a positive answer, Zhao Shanlin was even more happy.

had already been reminded by Zhao Fuxiang, and Zhao Shanlin left half a bucket of river fish for the medicine boy as an add-on.

"This ......" The two medicine boys looked at the river fish in the bucket, a little surprised.

The deliciousness of the fish soup, as people from the city, the two of them naturally tasted it.

It is also because they have tasted it, and they have also heard the news of the recent increase in the price of river fish.

At the moment, the price of the fish in such a bucket is not cheap, and if it is really given to them, they are embarrassed to accept it.

"This is not good," Astragalus, as the older one among the medicine boys, hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, "Guest, take it back quickly, if the master knows, he will definitely reprimand us." ”

Even if they are apprentices in a pharmacy, they have not yet become a teacher, and they can not get much money a month, and it is not easy to buy fish and soup.

Because of this, they were even more embarrassed to accept it, although both of them were very excited.

Zhao Shanlin knew that this would be the case, but he was not nervous.

Although he is wooden, he is not pedantic, how can he not see the struggle in the eyes of the two clearly.

Moreover, the river fish he brought was meant to be given to them, just like the green chickens he had sent to Xu Tian before.

The usefulness is naturally to maintain the relationship between the two parties, so that the business at home can flow smoothly.

How will it be taken back.

"Two little brothers, don't shirk,"

"These river fish are ordinary objects for us and others, as long as we go down to the river, we can catch enough, it's not worth anything, two little brothers, put it away."

"Saying that the income of herbs at home is also a blessing for the two and the old doctor,"

"I want to thank in my heart, but I don't know what to do, so I think that fish soup is popular in the city now, and I sent some worthless river fish, and I hope the two little brothers don't want to be weird."

Zhao Shanlin laughed while talking, coupled with the sincerity he said, he smiled honestly, and the voice was even more comfortable in the ears of the two medicine boys.

Although the pharmacy collects medicines for sale, their pharmacy has an excellent reputation, and the herbs are strictly controlled.

It's not that anyone who sends them will receive all the herbs.

What's more, before, they did instruct each other on how to concoct and dry herbs.

If the other party knows that they are not grateful, they will be dissatisfied at most, and they will not care about anything.

But now the other party is specially grateful for this, which still makes them happy.

The two thought about it, and they didn't shirk anymore, and directly accepted the river fish sent by Zhao Shanlin.

"In that case, then the two of us will accept it on behalf of the master."

These fish are enough for them to eat for several days.

Zhao Shanlin nodded, "It should be like this, it should be like this......

Because of the friendship of sending fish, the two medicine boys felt embarrassed, so they explained to Zhao Shanlin the shortcomings in the herbs he sent this time, and proposed how to correct them.

Zhao Shanlin kept it in his heart and was grateful.

When he left the pharmacy, Zhao Shanlin was still sighing in his heart.

is worthy of his father, he really knows the hearts of others thoroughly, and he only gave a few fish, and he got so many benefits.

At least, their family's herbs, if there are no big mistakes, they will always be sent to the pharmacy to earn this money.

First they sent fish and chicken food, followed by herbs, and now, the cart full of ox carts was suddenly empty.

Touching the bulging place on his chest, Zhao Shanlin was dizzy, and looked back at the medicine hall and restaurant that had been left far behind, still feeling incredible, as if in a dream.

waited until Zhao Shanlin went to the embroidery village to finish the embroidery work, the cloth village bought the coarse cloth, the grocery store bought the green vegetable seeds, the pastry shop bought the pastries, the grain shop bought the grain, and the dried meat bought the meat...... Once again, the vacant ox cart was filled, and then he drove the ox cart home satisfied.

………

At this time, everyone in the Zhao family was busy.

Both adults and children have their own work to do.

Li used an iron pot in the kitchen to concoct freshly baked herbs, and he was too busy to do it alone, so he had to come out and call someone.

After looking around, he was not satisfied, and he just caught Zhao Yu in.

"Erya, don't be busy, come and help the milk add firewood and watch the fire."

"Milk, I'm here," Zhao Yu ran to the stove and asked while adding fire, "Milk, how long will it take?" ”

Li Shi touched the inside of the iron pot, "Just like this, the time to burn a pillar of incense." ”

"Look closely, don't overdo it, and remember to remind me when the time comes."

Zhao Yu glanced at the incense bowl placed on the opposite side and the incense sticks on it, and nodded, "I know." ”

"By the way, what about them?"

Li didn't hear the cries of Zhao Chunhua's children for a while, and hurriedly asked Zhao Yu.

"I just went up the mountain with my eldest sister to hunt pitcher plants."

Zhao Yu added fuel to the fire, while looking at the white smoke iron pot in front of him, and said curiously, "Milk, this herb, is it really concocted like this?" ”

She hadn't seen it, and no such memory appeared in her head, so Zhao Yu looked at the novelty.

"Of course," Li Shi said with a smile as he thought of something while pounding the herbs in the iron pot, "Erya, what do you want to eat recently, milk will be made for you." ”

Recently, the family's business was basically made by Erya.

The Li family has long wanted to reward her second granddaughter.

The child is small, and it is not good for the Li family to give money directly, not to mention that the family has not been separated, and the eldest and third will think more about it if they give it to the second family alone.

It just so happens that the second girl is greedy, and she likes to eat this and that on weekdays, and then she will make a delicious supplement first.

The money earned from the sale, she saved for Erya first, and when Erya got married in the future, she added an extra dowry to her own thoughts.

Zhao Yu didn't know that her grandmother had thought so much about her getting married in the future.

Right now, her grandmother's words are a reminder of her.

Well, the fish soup is tired, the shrimp is tired, she really needs to change the taste!
