Chapter 156: Asking for Advice

As the days passed, the Blue Grass Hall gradually became known to the people, and the number of people who came to the door gradually increased. In fact, only a small number of people come to seek medical treatment, but there are many more people who take medicine. This is the advantage that the Zhan family has because they have their own medicinal herb shop.

It turned out that after purchasing medicinal herbs for the royal family a year ago, Zhan Shaofeng bought dozens of medicinal herb shops under Liu Muzhi's hands. These medicinal herb stores are scattered all over the country, and they purchase authentic and high-quality medicinal materials according to the local season and climate, such as Ejiao from Hebei and Shandong, Angelica, Codonopsis, Astragalus membranaceus from Shaanxi and Gansu, and Tremella fungus from Jiangxi. In addition to being used by the Imperial Hospital, these medicinal materials were also distributed in various places, and in case of war, they were gathered and transported to the army. Since the opening of the Dalan Thatched Cottage, there has been a steady stream of high-quality medicinal materials from all over the world, and there is no need for them to handle it themselves. And the scale of this orchid cottage is very insignificant for the huge industry of the Zhan family, and it can't consume many medicinal materials at all, so it is also exempted from fees.

In this way, the price of medicine in Lancaotang is much cheaper than that of others, which will naturally attract many people to come. There are also some who are good at careful planning, even if they have prepared a prescription elsewhere, they have to take a few more detours to the Blue Grass Hall to grab the medicine, and the picture shows that the medicine here is cheap. As for the quality of these medicinal materials, it is needless to say, they are really of high quality and low price.

This has some influence on other pharmacies, and the first of them is the Ling family. Due to the close proximity of the two medicine halls of Lancaotang and Deshan Hall, the Ling family's medicine became more and more difficult to sell. That Ling Renjie was already a depressed and dull person, and he has been even more sad these days. When Ling Wei saw him like this, she was also anxious in her eyes.

On this day, it was drizzling again, Ling Renjie was treating people inside, Ling Wei had nothing to do and sat and talked with Jiu'er and Baoniang in the lobby, and suddenly saw the guy Fang Wei hurriedly running in front of him with a drawer bucket in his hand, so he stopped him and asked, "What is it here that makes you panic like this?" ”

That Fang Wei stopped and said, "Angelica has worms, so you have to throw them away quickly." As he spoke, he brought the drawer to them to see. At first glance, you can't see anything, but if you stare at it, you can see that there are small off-white worms crawling on the angelica, and if you look closely, there are dozens of fine worms moving.

Jiu'er immediately jumped a few steps away, and Bao Niang hurriedly shrank back and shouted, "Take it quickly, take it quickly!" ”

Ling Wei leaned over and looked at it for a while, and Fang asked, "I'm just afraid that it's not just Angelica that will be broken?" ”

Fang Wei replied with a slumped face, "Isn't it! I just watched it once, Panax notoginseng, deer antler, clams, cordyceps sinensis...... Ah! Seeing that Ling Wei's face was not good, he hurriedly said, "This is because of the recent weather, which is easy to get damp, so it ...... In fact, there weren't many worms, so I cleaned them up quickly. With that, he hurriedly went out with the drawer.

Seeing him leave, Jiu'er stood back beside Ling Wei. Bao Niang also sat up straight and complained: "So many medicines are broken, how does this Xiao Weizi do things?" ”

Ling Wei shook her head and said, "Don't blame him, it's not his fault." Originally, my father bought these medicines, but he didn't think that they would not be able to sell, but they were backlogged. There was nowhere to put the extra one, but it was damp again, and it was broken. ”

Hearing this, Bao Niang sighed again and said, "Look, isn't this coming?" Wherever the Zhan family's store opens, the merchants will suffer. ”

"Where is it so mysterious? Isn't it just a little medicine that gives birth to worms, and it's making a big fuss. Ling Wei frowned and said, "I also looked at the account book a few days ago, although there is a backlog of medicinal materials, but the finished medicine is still selling well, especially those few secret recipes, which are still in short supply." ”

Bao Niang hurriedly pushed Ling Wei and said, "The shopkeeper has already said that you are not allowed to meddle in these things, and you sneaked away to look at the account books, why bother!" She looked around at no one, and then approached and lowered her voice and said: "Early this morning, the shopkeeper urged me to find the princess at the entrance of the official alley, and wanted to tell you about the family, if it weren't for the rain, people would have been invited at this time." You, it's better to wait for an an's share to get married, don't worry about these things, the shopkeeper has his own way. ”

"He has a way? He wouldn't have pushed me out like this if he could! Ling Wei stood up in a fit of rage, and was about to go to her father to theorize, but she remembered that there was a patient in his room, so she had to stomp her feet and sit back. Recalling her father's increasingly haggard appearance these days, Ling Wei felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and complained: "Isn't there a female doctor in the Lancaotang?" Why does Daddy have to marry me off? ”

Bao Niang persuaded: "The shopkeeper is afraid that if our shop can't hold on, it will affect you, which is distressing for you." Besides, the doctor in Lancaotang, although he is younger than you, he is also married. Who came out of the girl's family to show her face? ”

This seemed to remind Ling Wei, and she hurriedly grabbed Bao Niang and asked, "Yes, how did Dr. Lin persuade her family to let her come out to practice medicine?" ”

Bao Niang smiled and said, "How do I know this, you ask her to go." ”

"That makes sense," Ling Wei nodded and got up and said, "I'll ask her to go." With that, he turned and walked out the door.

"Hey-" Bao Niang didn't expect her to take it seriously, she didn't stop after screaming a few times, and hurriedly said to Jiu'er who was stunned on the side: "Don't catch up quickly!" Umbrella! Jiu'er came back to her senses and immediately followed, took another umbrella at the door, and the master and servant walked out together.

When Ling Wei and Jiu'er appeared at the entrance of the inner courtyard of the Orchid Cottage, Zhilan happened to send a patient out, and when she saw the two of them coming in with wet shoes, she said to Huaxin: "Quickly bring two pairs of clean cotton shoes and change them on." Then he smiled and said to them, "Why don't the two girls wear clogs when they come out, so they soak in cold water and catch a cold, and they are not sick but also freeze out of illness." Let's get to the stove and warm it up. ”

Ling Wei looked up at Zhilan while changing her shoes and said, "You don't recognize me?" ”

Zhilan was stunned for a moment, and when she looked at it, it turned out to be the strange girl she had seen on the opening day, Fang clapped her hands and smiled: "Why don't you recognize it?" I didn't take a closer look at it just now. ”

At this time, Zhan Qingqing also recognized Ling Wei, so she also came over curiously and asked, "Aren't you about to get married?" Don't you just run away from marriage and run away here? ”

Ling Wei, who was changing her shoes, heard this, remembered the play she played with Bao Niang here that day, and laughed out loud, but suddenly felt that this was a coincidence, so she sighed again and said, "Even if it's okay." ”
