Chapter 33: The Shop
The dog was a little embarrassed after speaking: "I'm twelve years old this year!" β
"My name is Lian Sheng, I am eleven years old this year, my father played Beidi back then, and never came back, my mother ran away with others, I grew up with my grandmother, and then my grandmother died, and I was the only one left, after knowing the dog, we have been together."
The other boy said in one breath.
Lu Huan'er heard that his father who won a streak was fighting Beidi and did not return, so it must be his father's old department.
In vain, I don't know how many loyal souls are still buried, but the children are living on the streets.
"You two will follow me in the future!" Lu Huan'er pointed to the older boy: "Your name is Lu Feng"
He also pointed to the young boy: "Your name is Lu Lei, okay?" β
The two children saluted Lu Huan'er heavily, and this encounter changed their lives from then on.
On the second day, as soon as Lu Huan'er got up, Mama Cui called Lu Huan'er to Mrs. Niang's room.
As soon as she entered the room, Lu Huan'er threw herself into Li's arms: "Mother! β
Seeing the delicate state of Lu Huan'er's youngest daughter, Li said to Mama Cui:
"Look at this girl, she will be 14 years old during the Chinese New Year, and she still looks like a child!"
Despite saying this, he still couldn't hold back a smile on his face, and joked Lu Huan'er: "This is a person who has become a general, and he is still coquettish?" β
When Lu Huan'er heard this, she blushed with shame: "Mother, even you are teasing me, I won't get up!" β
He threw himself into Li's arms again and refused to get up.
Li Shi smiled and took some things: "Huan'er, I heard Dongmei say that you want to set up a house outside, silly girl, why don't you ask your mother?" β
Lu Huan'er was surprised: "What's the matter, mother?" β
Li smiled and said, "Originally, these were your dowries, and I wanted to give it to you if I wanted to marry you." β
Lu Huan'er saw that the Li family said that she was married, and dragged the Li family: "I don't want to marry!" β
Li smiled and said:
"Although your father only takes a fortune, but over the years we have also bought some properties outside, and my mother still has a dowry, although it has always been your grandfather's family to help take care of it, but only taking a commission every year is enough for the house."
Li took a few land deeds handed to her by Mama Cui, handed them to Lu Huan'er, and then said:
"Huan'er, look, this is our family's industry, which one do you like, just take care of it, learn to operate it as soon as possible, and take care of your dowry when you come to your in-law's house in the future, so as not to say that my Lu Mansion is used to my daughter and lacks a tutor!"
Lu Huan'er listened to it and took it curiously, there were two Zhuangzi and a gouache shop outside the city, all of which Lu Huan'er was not very familiar with.
flipping through, there was a herb hall that made Lu Huan'er feel interested: "Mother? This is also our family's? β
Li Shi took it and took a look: "It's my original dowry, the shop is small, isn't this gouache shop of your girl's family bad?" β
"Mother, now Chunxiang and Xia Chan are both studying medicine, Chunxiang is interested and has learned well, do you know that my uncle's sister is also studying medicine?"
"Oh? Li Mi? I don't even know this, okay, it's up to you, you can take whatever you like! β
"Then I'll take this herb hall to practice first, there are courtyards and wings behind the medicine hall, which is enough for what I need! Thank you so much! Lu Huan'er looked at Li happily.
"Mother, who is taking care of the shop now?"
"I want to ask Steward Meng, we were in Tongzhou before, and the shops were taken care of by our uncles, this time we returned to Beijing with our family, and my uncle brought the shop back and let us manage it ourselves!"
Li said: "If there is anything in the future, just ask your uncle!" β
Lu Huan'er agreed.
"Mother, I'll go see the shop in a while!" Lu Huan'er said happily.
"Okay, it's all up to you!" Lee smiled.
Lu Huan'er returned to the courtyard and told Dongmei the news, and Dongmei was very happy.
"Chunxiang, go and ask Steward Meng, do you have time now? Take us to the shop? β
Haruka ran to ask.
Lu Huan'er said: "Dongmei, you go to find Lu Feng and Lu Lei first, and let them live in the herbal medicine hall from today onwards!" The herb hall is on Phu Quoc Street, and you took them straight over. β
After a while, Chunxiang came back and said that Steward Meng would be able to set off immediately, so the group went to the herbal medicine hall!
Qiu Tong is very excited, since the young lady woke up, she has changed too much, and she has experienced too many things that she couldn't have imagined before.
Chunxiang was even more excited, because the young lady said that the reason why she asked for the herbal medicine hall was because she and Xia Chan were both studying medicine.
She loves herbs, and that chance encounter made her realize that the world of herbs is vast and amazing, and that small herbs can do so many things.
In the future, I can actually have my own place and do what I like, Chunxiang looked at Lu Huan'er with little stars in her eyes!
Talking and laughing and looking forward to it, the carriage arrived at Fuguo Street, Dongmei and Lu Feng and Lu Lei had already arrived, and the two children couldn't hide their joy when they knew that they could live here in the future.
Xiao Chengzi parked the carriage, and after knowing this shop, Lu Huan'er also clapped his hands happily.
Steward Meng had been in contact with the shopkeeper because he had taken over the shop before, so he shouted: "Is the shopkeeper Tong available?" β
Shopkeeper Tong came out of the counter when he heard the sound, and there was a guy inside who was yawning and boiling medicine.
Seeing so many people coming, Shopkeeper Tong was surprised, and he also hugged his fists and said: "Steward Meng, be polite and polite!" β
Lu Huan'er saw that he was a chubby middle-aged man, wearing a loose cloth coat and only a hairpin wrapped around his hair.
When he looked at people, he was a little erratic, and at the moment he was also grunting around.
Steward Meng hurriedly introduced: "This is our young lady, and this herb hall will be taken care of by the girl in the future." β
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was unhappy: "Then this shop will ...... from now on."
Lu Huan'er asked politely: "Shopkeeper Tong, how many people are there in this medicine hall?" What about the income? β
"Add three of me, and the girl will see it too. This shop is not big, and it only makes some small medicines on weekdays, and makes a living by boiling medicines, and the people who buy them are not very in the store on weekdays, only me and this little guy! Shopkeeper Tong replied.
Lu Huan'er looked around, walked into the counter and opened the drawer to see the herbs inside.
Although I don't know it, it looks like it's average.
"Isn't the income bad?" Lu Huan'er asked
"Barely profitable, but also a small profit, before Shangshu Mansion took care of it, every year, it is also balanced here with the income of other shops." Shopkeeper Tong whispered.
Lu Huan'er snorted coldly in her heart, she had already seen it when she came, and there was only this one herb hall in the entire two streets, if you want to say that the faΓ§ade is small, Lu Huan'er admitted.
However, this Fuguo Street is located in a residential area, and it is the second most prosperous street in Beijing.
As he was talking, a man walked in with a prescription: "Shopkeeper, can you get all this medicine?" β
Shopkeeper Tong took a look and shook his head: "There is a lack of laiphane seeds." β
"Will it be available tomorrow?"
"I'm sorry, I may not be able to match it for a while, you can go to the Medical Cooperative Hall to have a look."
The man took the prescription and left regretfully.
At this time, the man who had boiled the medicine boiled the medicine, put the medicine jar aside, yawned, and looked this way.
Lu Huan'er said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper Tong, I have just taken over the pharmacy, I don't understand a lot of things, and I need to be more familiar with it, so it's better to show me the purchase list and drug sales records first." β
When the shopkeeper Tong heard this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Miss Lu, you just took over, if you don't know how to ask me, the purchase list and the record of the sale of medicine are all hastily written by me, it's hard to recognize!" β
Seeing that the shopkeeper Tong shirked it, Lu Huan'er knew that she was tired, and even Steward Meng was a little unhappy.
