Chapter 68: The opening is not going well
Wan Lin's state is much stronger than before he got married, and when he came over so energetically, Wan Pozi was a little skeptical that he had seen the wrong person.
Fu Xiaojiu hoped that Wan Lin would go into the city with her, but she was still a little worried, "Aren't you studying today?" If you come into town with me, you'll have to delay it for a day. ”
But without waiting for Wan Lin to answer, Wan Pozi said: "The third child has not been to the city since he was sick. When he was not sick, he only went to the county seat to buy some books, pen and ink, and never took a good stroll. Xiao Jiu, you two just go, don't be in a hurry to come back, whether the tiger bones are sold or not, you can have a good walk around the city. ”
Wan Lin said happily: "Mother, you are really reasonable!" ”
Wan Pozi nodded Wan Lin's head, "Look at your worryless appearance!" Don't go into the city with Xiao Jiu for nothing this time, you have to help Xiao Jiu sell the tiger bones for more silver! ”
Wan Lin immediately asked Wan Pozi for a package ticket, "My son must do his best to help Xiao Jiu sell tiger bones." ”
Don't look at Wan Lin who doesn't look worried, he sees the sadness in Fu Xiaojiu's eyes, and he is also anxious, otherwise he doesn't want to go into the city with Fu Xiaojiu.
Fu Xiaojiu had no choice but to agree, "Since my mother has spoken, you can go with me." I don't plan to take too many tiger bones, just take ten catties first. If these tiger bones are sold, they can at least be exchanged for one hundred and eighty silver. ”
Even if Wan Lin was anxious, he remained optimistic on the surface, "Don't worry, lady, we won't go in vain!" There are many pharmacies and clinics in the county, but tiger bones have always been scarce medicinal materials, how can we sell these tiger bones. ”
Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin took the tiger bones after breakfast and hired an ox cart to enter the city.
Although Mo's child was saved, her body was still weak, so she didn't eat with the big guy.
She didn't have the face to eat with everyone, so she could hide in her yard for a few days in the name of raising a baby.
After Fu Xiaojiu gave the car money, his pocket was cleaner than his face.
Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin each carried five catties of tiger bones, and only after walking a few steps from the city gate, they smelled the tempting aroma from the food stall.
Fu Xiaojiu swallowed his saliva and said to Wan Lin: "If we can't sell the tiger bones, not only do we have no money for lunch, but we can't even afford to hire an ox cart, so we have to walk home on our feet." ”
Wan Lin squeezed Fu Xiaojiu's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, lady. This tiger bone will definitely be sold. ”
Fu Xiaojiu looked up at him and smiled helplessly, "Why do you believe me so much?" If this tiger bone really can't be sold, you're going to be disappointed. ”
"My lady is a lucky star, of course she won't let me down."
Wan Lin believed in her so much, although Fu Xiaojiu felt comfortable, but the pressure was also a little great.
Wan Lin said at this time: "There are two markets in this county, but they are not divided according to east and west, but according to rich and poor. I thought that tiger bones are valuable medicinal materials, and the pharmacies and medical halls on Qing Street may not be able to afford them, so let's go directly to Fu Street to have a look! ”
Fu Xiaojiu immediately nodded, "I think so too, let's go to Fu Street!" ”
The two had just come to Fu Street full of hope, and Wan Lin kept cheering Fu Xiaojiu, telling her that she must believe that she is an auspicious star, and she can turn evil into good fortune, and nothing can stump her.
While talking, the two of them came to the first medical hall on Fu Street, Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin walked in, and some guys came to greet them.
Although there are three medical clinics on Fu Street, each of them is doing well, and there are five or six people queuing up in the lobby where Langzhong is sitting.
It's just that they look very shabby on the rich street, and most of the guys on the rich street are snobs, so their attitude towards them is a little cold.
"Go there to queue up for a doctor, and my family's consultation fee starts at 200 yuan."
The subtext of the guy is, if you can't afford the consultation fee, you should leave early, and don't delay other people's medical treatment.
Fu Xiaojiu smiled politely at him, "Little brother, we're not here to see a doctor." We have some good medicinal materials in our hands, I don't know if we can accept them. ”
The guy pouted disdainfully, "Good herbs? What good herbs can you have? ”
Fu Xiaojiu lifted the cloth baggage, "I have a good tiger bone here." ”
"Tiger bones?"
The guy questioned Fu Xiaojiu even more.
Fu Xiaojiu hurriedly said: "You can let your family come over and have a look, and you will know if I am a good tiger bone." ”
"You wait here for a while." The guy said a little impatiently, and then walked quickly to Lang Zhong and said a few words in Lang Zhong's ear.
Lang Zhong was an old man in his sixties with gray hair and beard, and he looked quite kind.
When Lao Lang was neutral, he looked at Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin.
Fu Xiaojiu is a fat girl who looks like she has nothing special, but Wan Lin is a scholar with a good temperament at first glance, and Lao Langzhong came here because of Wan Lin's face.
There are also two rooms in this medical hall, and Lao Langzhong led them to the next room and said to Fu Xiaojiu: "I heard that you brought tiger bones here, so let me open my eyes." ”
Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin put the burden on the table together, but Lao Langzhong didn't go to see Fu Xiaojiu, but said to Wan Lin: "Hou Sheng, where did you get this tiger bone?" ”
Wan Lin replied respectfully: "It was a tiger hunted by a relative, and it was given to us." ”
Lang Zhong was a little surprised by Wan Lin's answer, because there are not many people who can hunt tigers, and Orions with this ability can be regarded as the best among Orions.
Lang Zhong casually picked up a piece of tiger bone and looked at it, and asked casually, "How many years have you been practicing medicine?" ”
Wan Lin was stunned, smiled at Lang Zhong, then looked at Fu Xiaojiu and said, "I am not Lang Zhong, my wife is Lang Zhong." ”
"What?"
Lang Zhongzhong raised his eyelids and looked at Fu Xiaojiu, only to see Wan Linzheng looking at Fu Xiaojiu with admiration, and Fu Xiaojiu smiled a little embarrassed
"You say she's Lang Zhong?"
Lao Langzhong put down the tiger bone in amazement, and couldn't believe Wan Lin's words at all.
Wan Lin looked at him again and said proudly: "My wife's medical skills are excellent, don't underestimate her." ”
Wan Linxu has been at home for a long time, and when he sees outsiders, he wants to praise his daughter-in-law.
Fu Xiaojiu didn't want to be so high-profile, so he hurriedly pulled Wan Lin and said to Lao Langzhong: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I just know a little bit about medical skills." Look at this tiger bone, it can be regarded as a top grade in the tiger bone, right? ”
Lao Langzhong's eyes couldn't hide his contempt for Fu Xiaojiu, and he felt that Wan Lin was bragging, he sneered slightly, picked up the tiger bone and looked at it, and said while looking at it: "Young people still have to be modest, don't boast, otherwise you will be happy, but you will make people see your shortcomings when you do things, isn't it humiliating yourself?" ”
Wan Lin was very disgusted with Lao Langzhong's arrogance, he wanted to refute a few words and prove it for Fu Xiaojiu, but Fu Xiaojiu grabbed him and asked Lao Langzhong politely, "What do you think of this tiger bone, one pound is worth two taels of silver, right?" ”
The old man raised his eyelids, raised his eyebrows, and his tone was obviously disdainful, "Two taels of silver? Little lady, do you think I'm old and dizzy, or I haven't seen anything in the world and don't know the goods? ”
Wan Lin was a little nervous, but Fu Xiaojiu still controlled him, and smiled patiently at Lao Langzhong: "Then how much silver do you say this tiger bone should be worth a pound?" ”
Lao Langzhong put the tiger bone back into the baggage, drooped the corners of his mouth and said: "This tiger bone is not good, that is, it is an old, weak, sick and disabled tiger, and the concoction method is not professional, even if you buy it, you have to reconcoct it." Don't talk about two taels of silver per catty, my bag of two taels of silver for you is a high price! ”
Fu Xiaojiu immediately nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, "Gotcha!" ”
"What?" Wan Lin is blinded.
The old man hooked the corners of his mouth proudly, "This little lady is still a smart person who knows each other, and it's good if I can collect this tiger bone......"
However, before he finished his words, Fu Xiaojiu instantly tied two burdens, stuffed one into Wan Lin's arms, carried one himself, and walked out without looking back.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
This time it was the turn of the old man.
Wan Lin was also stunned by Fu Xiaojiu's sudden move of raising his legs and leaving, and the whole person didn't quite understand what was going on.
Fu Xiaojiu didn't stop a step, and said in a long voice with a long voice: "Your eye disease is already terminally ill, and if you don't treat it, it will be too late!" ”
"What nonsense, how can I have an eye disease?"
Lao Langzhong stood at the door and looked at Fu Xiaojiu's back and said disdainfully.
When Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin were far away, he reacted, jumped up and shouted in the direction of Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin: "Who do you say is blind!" ”
"Hahaha......"
Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin laughed instead of anger when they heard Lao Langzhong's scolding, and Wan Lin's stomach hurt with laughter.
Wan Lin covered his stomach and said: "This old man is really a bully, he is really unseemly, I thought he was an honest and kind person at such an old age, but I didn't expect him to be so arrogant and rude, and so illiterate!" ”
Fu Xiaojiu shook his head, "Do you really think he doesn't know the goods?" He knows the goods very well! He just said that he wanted to lower the price. It is reasonable to reduce the price, but if the price is too evil, it is a problem of character. You know this time, the quality of a person has nothing to do with age! ”
Wan Lin couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Fu Xiaojiu, "It's really better to listen to the lady's words, it's better than reading a book for ten years!" It turns out that the old man has become bad, and it is the bad man who has become old!
Fu Xiaojiu put away his smile and said to Wan Lin with a serious expression: "It's good that you know." Thou sages read a lot, but thou knowest not the darkness of this business. Although the opening of the medical hall is to treat diseases and save people, it is also a businessman, and most of them are also in the lead. ”
Wan Lin couldn't help but appreciate Fu Xiaojiu even more, "It's still the lady who said it clearly." Many people think that the people who open the medical clinic in Langzhong are good-hearted and good people, but they forget that Langzhong is also a layman, and he also has to feed his family and eat. It seems that in the future, except for you, I can't think of all Langzhong so well. ”
"That's it, have you forgotten how Leng Wu calculated me? In the future, if we settle down in the county, we will have to be more careful about everything. Fu Xiaojiu said, his face became solemn.
Wan Lin still maintained an optimistic attitude, and said with hope: "Lady, you are a person with auspicious stars, you have to believe in your own medical skills, and you must believe in your luck!" ”
Fu Xiaojiu smiled bitterly, "Don't mention my luck again, the first buyer we found will not be good." ”
Wan Lin took Fu Xiaojiu's little fat hand and gently comforted her, "There are many medical halls and pharmacies in this county, there must be those who don't know the goods, but there must be those who know the goods, don't you see that there is still a medical center, let's go over and take a look!" ”
As soon as Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Lin walked to the door of the second medical hall, they saw two familiar figures.
"Brother Lin! When did you come to the county seat? ”
Zhou Bingshuang said in surprise, and walked in front of Wan Lin with his skirt and no matter how reserved.
