Chapter 9 The proprietor of the pharmacy
Cao Zhijin fell asleep in a daze, not quite remembering whether Qing got up in the middle of the night to eat last night really happened, or if it was a sweet dream she had when she was too hungry.
The table was clean and tidy, as if nothing really happened last night.
Chen Fansheng was not at home.
She packed up and went to Uncle Cao's house.
Uncle Cao was yesterday's donkey owner.
Uncle Cao had already fed the donkey, and when he saw her enter the door, he led the donkey over and put it on the cart, as if waiting for her.
"Yesterday mortal told me, let me send the little girl to the market today."
So that's it!
"And what else did he say?"
"Let me get you back safely."
"I heard you're going to talk about a big deal today? Brocade, it's amazing! Uncle Cao, when I get mixed up at this age, I don't see as much money as the women I see, I'm envious! ”
She still wanted to hear more Chen Fansheng's explanation, but he changed the topic after only saying one sentence, and his heart felt like a thousand ants scratching, extremely itchy, but helpless.
"If you really make money, I will definitely give you a share."
"Don't don't, just kidding!" He waved his hand again and again, and a smile bloomed on his face, revealing a love for her innocence.
"I'm serious!"
"Okay, yes, I promised! Get in. ”
The donkey cart rushed to the gate of the market, and Uncle Cao kept the donkey and the cart in the backyard of the inn at the entrance of the market as usual.
During his travels, he made a lot of friends.
"Don't look at the innkeeper who is easy to talk to, it's hard to ask him for help, if I hadn't undercounted his money every time I helped him transport goods, my donkey might have to be wronged under the sun today!" Uncle Cao shook his head while laughing.
Cao Zhijin said: "Yesterday, Xianggong also left the donkey in this inn. ”
"Really?" His eyes lit up and he said, "I'll just say that I can't be wrong about people, mortal life is indeed a talent!" ”
"But the people in the village don't seem to understand Xianggong." Cao Zhijin sighed softly.
He was amused by her words: "Girl, I heard my uncle say that as a man, it doesn't matter what others think of them, what matters is what his own women think of him." Got it? ”
Cao Zhijin suddenly realized, nodded and said, "It seems that I will be better to Xianggong in the future!" ”
"Clever girl, just a little bit!"
"Uncle Cao, it's here!"
Patronizing and chatting, I almost walked by.
The two retreated to the distance of a shop, and Cao Zhijin pointed to the plaque above.
"Tongrentang." Uncle Cao slowly read out the words on the plaque, and looked at Cao Zhijin in surprise, "The little girl is doing business with this pharmacy?" ”
She nodded.
Uncle Cao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, ambitious!" It seems that I boasted about it before! ”
People who have been out for many years are bold in their work and full of neutrality when they speak.
This boast suddenly attracted a lot of onlookers, which made her embarrassed.
Cao Zhijin whispered: "Uncle Cao, you be quiet." ”
"I'm so excited! This pharmacy is the largest pharmacy in the county, and this is on this bright side. I've heard people say that the owner of this pharmacy has a little relationship with the county lord, and usually only accepts rich people. Your first business is Tong Ren Tang, and the future is limitless! Uncle Cao whispered.
"Really? Then I can make a lot of money, and my husband won't work so hard in the future! Her eyes were full of stars, and she was about to jump for joy.
"Yo, Miss Cao is here, our host is waiting!" The guy was sharp-eyed and immediately greeted him enthusiastically.
"Is your host really here?" She happily ran in and forgot about Uncle Cao.
However, when Uncle Cao heard that it was the owner who received him personally, he spontaneously followed.
Joke, with his legs and feet, how can he not win a little girl?!
There were only two people in the lobby, one with a shiny face and a goatee facing her attentive shopkeeper, and the other sitting on a chair drinking tea.
The teacup blocked half of his face, and Cao Zhijin looked at it for a while, not sure if it was the person.
She doesn't think it's good to stare at others like this. Uncle Cao said that all the people who can come here are distinguished guests, and if he is annoyed by him, it will not be cost-effective to lose her business.
As soon as she looked away, she heard him say kindly: "Miss Cao, we meet again." ”
Cao Zhijin raised his head.
I saw that the man was richly dressed, gentle and elegant, and he was the rich boy who helped her out of the siege yesterday!
"You are the owner of Tong Ren Tang?" She was a little upset. If that's the case, then wasn't he playing tricks on her yesterday?
"It's not down there." He put down the teacup, stood up and explained to her, the amiable appearance was hard to be boring, "Miss Cao, don't get me wrong, my father has something to do today, and he will have to come back a few days later, and he is here to give the girl an explanation today." ”
"Your father is the proprietor." Cao Zhijin felt a lot better.
"This is our young owner's Qi Gongzi!" The shopkeeper introduced it in a timely manner.
"Just call me Qiying. I just heard the two of them say at the door that this pharmacy has something to do with the county order. He looked at the two of them.
Uncle Cao immediately stood up and protected Cao Zhi behind him: "It's what I said, it's not about the girl!" ”
He said: "Don't get me wrong, uncle, you actually didn't say it wrong, but it wasn't quite accurate." This pharmacy has a lot to do with the prefectural order, and my father is the prefectural order. ”
"It turned out to be the son of the county order, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Uncle Cao breathed a sigh of relief and bent down to clench his fists.
Cao Zhijin asked: "This is a secret matter, why do you want to tell us?" ”
He said calmly: "It is my courtesy to treat my partners sincerely. ”
"Partners? Did you say yes? ”
"I can buy your deworming medicine for five times the price, but I have two conditions."
"Please!"
Cao Zhijin thinks that this Qiying is a cheerful person, she likes to deal with this kind of person, and she has a good impression of him.
"First, I hope to cooperate with the girl in the future."
"Second, I hope that the girl can hand over the formula of the anthelmintic medicine to you."
"I can't ask for it. However, the formula of the anthelmintic medicine is not a secret thing, in fact, the formula is still the original formula. ”
Qi Ying shook her head with a smile and said, "No, no, the main works of the anthelmintic medicine are the two herbs of bitter wattle and wolf tail, but these two herbs will have a taste when mixed together." The medicine prepared by the girl is tasteless. ”
"It turns out that you also know herbal medicine, and you say the same as my father-in-law."
"I can't tell that the girl is already married. What is the girl's surname? ”
"The surname is Chen." Cao Zhijin didn't know why he asked that.
Qi Ying said with annoyance: "I have the wrong name below, I should call you 'Mrs. Chen'." ”
"'Mrs. Chen'? I feel so old. Cao Zhijin said happily, "You still call me like just now!" ”
"Yes."
The way he kept the courtesy, he felt a little calculating, but he was not mean, but showed a bit of clumsiness that he didn't know how to change.
