Chapter 221: Preparing for the Workshop Dart Hunting Bureau
Time flies, and in a flash, five or six days have passed since Fu Xiaojiu wrote his first letter to Mrs. Huo.
At this time, Fu Xiaojiu had already built a three-meter-long and two-meter-wide greenhouse in the backyard, and successfully planted half of the greenhouse's crystal orchid in it.
The growth of the crystal orchid is so gratifying, and the Fu Xiaojiu family is happy.
Fu Xiaojiu wrote another letter to Mrs. Huo, telling her that the crystal orchid had been completely cultivated, and then Fu Xiaojiu was going to start making gold sore medicine and ointment in large quantities.
Fu Xiaojiu's medicinal "autumn water cream" came up with a new name, called "muscle-building cream", which sounds simple and clear, and easy to remember.
Fu Xiaojiu also wrote in the letter that he had silver in his hand, so he could make a batch of medicine and send it over, but Fu Xiaojiu was afraid that after making this batch of medicine, the silver in his hand would not be enough.
Because even if Fu Xiaojiu uses all the people in his family, there are not enough people, and he must hire a few more people.
Their house was so small that if they wanted to hire someone, they had to rent a big one.
Fu Xiaojiu was afraid that when the time came, he would buy medicinal materials, hire people, and rent a house, and the silver in his hand would not be enough to turnover, and the supply of medicine and ointment would not be timely, so he cheekily asked Mrs. Huo if she could settle the payment when she received the things.
Fu Xiaojiu really didn't want to open this mouth, otherwise he seemed to be afraid that Mrs. Huo would repay the debt, but Fu Xiaojiu was really worried that he would not be able to supply the medicine in time, which would affect the use of the medicine by the soldiers, so he had to ask Mrs. Huo for money in the letter.
After Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Pozi sent the letter to the post station, they posted a notice on the notice board of the vegetable market to recruit pharmaceutical personnel.
At the same time, Fu Xiaojiu has to find a suitable place to do a pharmaceutical workshop.
Supplying the army is a long-term business, and she has exclusive secret recipes, so she can only supply them by herself, and it is necessary to set up a workshop.
There is another thing that also costs a lot of silver, if you want to send such an expensive medicine to the side, you must hire a dart bureau to escort the dart, Fu Xiaojiu has inquired, the starting price of the dart is fifty taels of silver, the distance from the county seat to the side plug, the dart masters go back and forth, at least two hundred taels of silver.
Although Fu Xiaojiu was a little distressed, he didn't want Mrs. Huo to pay this money.
Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Pozi went to Wan Lin and discussed this matter with him, Wan Lin felt that Fu Xiaojiu was very thoughtful, and the sooner the workshop started, the better, but Wan Lin made a rough calculation, and was taken aback by all the costs.
Fu Xiaojiu told him not to worry about the cost for the time being, Fu Xiaojiu told Wan Lin all the family resources, Wan Lin heard that the family actually had nearly 1,000 taels of silver, and he was so frightened that he gasped, and couldn't believe that this was his family's property.
But even if there are so many family funds, after such a toss, you have to toss more than half of the family funds.
Although supplying medicine to the army is a money-making business, Fu Xiaojiu does not want to earn more money from the army, she plans to make small profits and save military expenses for the country.
Knowing Fu Xiaojiu's thoughts, Wan Lin admired Fu Xiaojiu even more, and secretly had some inferiority complex in his heart, not knowing when he would be able to be a useful person to the country like Fu Xiaojiu.
Fu Xiaojiu didn't delay Wan Lin for long, after leaving Wan Lin, Fu Xiaojiu asked Wan Pozi to go to the tooth shop to inquire if there was a suitable place to make a workshop, and Fu Xiaojiu went to the dart game.
There are only two dart bureaus in the county, one in Fujie and one in Qingjie.
Fu Xiaojiu first went to the nearest dart game in Fu Street, but the dart masters of this dart game all went to dart, and he couldn't come back for ten days and half a month.
Fu Xiaojiu had no choice but to go to the dart game on Qing Street again, and as soon as he entered the door, Fu Xiaojiu was stunned.
"Why are you here?"
Fu Xiaojiu saw a person who gave her a headache, and couldn't help but ask.
This man is the crazy old man who used to make trouble in the hospital, not to say that he himself is sick!
"This is my home, why can't I be here?"
The old man sat on the Taishi's chair and said confidently, after speaking, the old man stood up again and approached to see Fu Xiaojiu, but the old man didn't recognize her.
Fu Xiaojiu is much thinner than before, and she is more beautiful, and the old man's eyes are not much better, and he feels that after Fu Xiaojiu's eyes were born, he didn't care much about her, and returned to the Taishi chair to sit.
Fu Xiaojiu saw that the old man didn't recognize her, so she secretly screamed bad luck in her heart.
Fu Xiaojiu was hesitating, so he couldn't do it, so he went to wait for the dart master of the dart bureau on Fu Street to come back.
"Are you going to dart?"
When Fu Xiaojiu was hesitating, a man walked in from outside the door.
This person was the old man's eldest son, and when he saw Fu Xiaojiu's face, he asked, "Why do you look a little familiar?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu still remembered his appearance, and asked in surprise: "This dart game is really opened by your family?" ”
The man nodded, "yes, this is my family's dart game." Who are you? ”
Fu Xiaojiu glanced at the old man and said helplessly: "Do you remember that your father made a big fuss in my medical hall, not to say that he was sick and I didn't show it, and kept scolding me for being a quack?" ”
The man hesitated for a moment, suddenly blushed, and said with a guilty face: "Oh, it turned out to be you!" I'm sorry, I'm sorry! But why are you different from before? I think you've lost a lot. ”
Fu Xiaojiu saw that he still seemed to be a sincere person, so he didn't care about him anymore, and said politely: "I've been a little busy lately, so I've lost some weight." It's all in the past, so let's not talk about it again. I'm here to ask about the darts. If everything goes well on my side, I'll be on the dart in about six or seven days. ”
The man immediately said, "After six or seven days, no problem!" My four younger brothers will be back the day after tomorrow according to the route. ”
Fu Xiaojiu was even more surprised, he couldn't see that the five brothers were actually dart masters!
After the man finished speaking, he began to praise Fu Xiaojiu.
"I heard that you cured General Huo's son-in-law of a strange disease, you are really amazing! Sure enough, it's a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go! No, you're much better than those shaved eyebrows! ”
Fu Xiaojiu smiled humbly, "I'm just lucky." ”
"What are you going to do? How far away, how many things? "The man doesn't know why Fu Xiaojiu opened a medical hall, why he wants to dart.
Fu Xiaojiu said truthfully: "I want to send a batch of medicines to General Huo's army, these medicines are very precious, and they must be escorted by people who are good and reliable!" How long has your brother been in the business of five dry dartmasters? ”
Listening to Fu Xiaojiu's words, the man first showed a look of admiration, and then said confidently: "It turns out that you are actually going to send medicine to General Huo's soldiers!" What an honor to be able to walk this dart! You can rest assured, our ancestors were all dart games, and my father was a famous dart master back then. Our brothers have been following me since I was a child, and all the real kung fu on my body is real kung fu, so you can put your heart in your stomach! ”
"Your dad is a dart master?" Fu Xiaojiu glanced at the old man unexpectedly.
The old man was sitting there eating the candy, chewing it crunchy.
Fu Xiaojiu then understood why the old man's body was so good.
The man said with emotion: "Yes, my father was majestic back then, as long as he walked the dart, nothing happened to him!" It's a pity, he encountered a strong gangster when he walked the last dart more than ten years ago, although he protected the dart, his head was seriously injured, and he looked normal everywhere on the surface, but his mind was not very clear. ”
"He's got a serious head injury?" Fu Xiaojiu suddenly realized, no wonder she thought that this old man was not sick no matter how she diagnosed and treated him at that time.
Fu Xiaojiu is not a clair, which is a little difficult for her.
Fu Xiaojiu also felt a little guilty after learning about the old man's situation, this old man really had a hidden disease, and she blamed the old man and his five sons.
Fu Xiaojiu knew that he could change his mistake and said: "That, I didn't look carefully last time, and I didn't find the old wound of the uncle's brain, this is my negligence ......"
The man waved his hand magnificently, "You don't say this." We all looked for a lot of Lang Zhong about my father's illness, and they all said that this disease could not be cured, and this person was fine, so we accepted our fate. ”
"I can try to heal Uncle's illness, but I came in a hurry today, and there are some things that I haven't done, I'm afraid I won't have time to treat him. In this case, please bring my uncle to my hospital tomorrow, and I will treat him well. ”
Fu Xiaojiu's attitude is very sincere, and her reputation as a "miracle doctor" has spread, who wants to miss the opportunity to be healed by Fu Xiaojiu?
The man hurriedly saluted Fu Xiaojiu and thanked him, "Then it's troublesome for the rich divine doctor!" ”
Fu Xiaojiu smiled politely, "No trouble, no trouble." By the way, what do you call it? ”
The man raised his head and replied, "My name is Lu Xiong, and everyone who knows me calls me Lu Da directly." ”
Fu Xiaojiu nodded, "It turned out to be Brother Lu." I also want to ask, I expect to send two large boxes of medicines, from our side, how much silver will it cost to walk the darts? ”
Lu Xiong thought for a moment and replied: "Such a journey generally requires at least four dart divisions, and the medicines transported to the army are expensive, and if we follow our usual rules, this round trip will cost at least two hundred taels of silver." However, my father made a big fuss about the medical hall before, and our brothers really didn't want to go, so I counted you with 150 silver! ”
"One hundred and fifty taels?"
Fu Xiaojiu muttered.
Lu Xiong gritted his teeth, "If you think it's expensive, then you will be counted as one hundred and twenty taels of silver!" ”
Fu Xiaojiu smiled, "Hehe, Brother Lu, you misunderstood, I don't think it's expensive, I think the price you gave me is a little too low." Uncle Lu can't be blamed for the trouble he made in the hospital before, and I couldn't diagnose and treat his condition in time, so you don't have to worry about that incident anymore. So be it, I'll give you a hundred and eighty taels of silver, and that's it!" ”
Lu Xiong couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and actually thought of Fu Xiaojiu as a stingy person.
"Okay, do as you say! If you have any other requirements, just ask, we promise to do what you say! ”
After Lu Xiong finished speaking, Fu Xiaojiu said to him again: "Then let's talk about it, tomorrow you take Uncle Lu to the hospital for treatment, and I will give you the money tomorrow." ”
Lu Xiong responded boldly: "Okay, you can do what you say!" ”
What is rare is that Old Man Lu sat next to him and ate candy quietly this time, and he didn't go crazy at all.
Fu Xiaojiuxin said that she had to hurry up and buy some candy and go back, so that when the old man went to the hospital tomorrow, she wouldn't make trouble.
Fu Xiaojiu went back to the hospital in advance after finishing it, but Wan Pozi hadn't come back yet, she was thinking about finding Wan Pozi, when she saw Wan Pozi trotting into the door panting.
