Chapter 155: Good intentions
"Straw bale doctor? Then you're out of sight! The young lady shook her head, and was about to continue, but she saw a thin middle-aged man coming from behind the house, so she hurriedly said, "Dad, I was about to look for you." ”
The girl who was arguing looked back, and hurriedly smiled and said, "You are here, shopkeeper......" Then he lowered his head and lowered his hand to the side, and quietly stuck out his tongue.
The shopkeeper of this family is surnamed Ling Renjie, forty years old, his wife died of dystocia in the early years, and has not been renewed, so he only has a daughter under his knees, named Ling Wei to commemorate his deceased wife. This Ling Wei is the girl who went to Zhilan's store today to pretend to be pregnant, she was raised as a boy since she was a child, she was literate and studied medicine, and she was carefully taught everything.
Ling Renjie slowly paced over with his hands behind his back, the big gray cotton robe on his body swayed with his steps, and his already thin figure became weaker and weaker. He approached and asked, "Xiaowei, what have you discovered today?" ”
"I found that I can't talk about it, but I think that those two doctors are not like the people outside, they are the big idlers raised by the Zhan family." Ling Wei gave up a seat for her father, and she also sat down on the side and continued, "That Doctor Qing, although he is a dart master who retired from the Zhan family's dart bureau, I heard that he has practiced medicine while walking darts over the years, and he has also treated many patients along the way. Sometimes someone in the dart team was injured, and he was the one who treated him, and it was said that his medical skills were not bad. As for that Dr. Lin, he was very young, he seemed to be two or three years younger than me, but he was also a little capable, and he immediately saw that my slippery pulse was an illusion. ”
Ling Renjie listened to his daughter's reply, his face became more and more gloomy, and he frowned and sighed: "This matter is not trivial. Where they couldn't open this medicine hall, they chose to come here. Alas, our old signboard of Deshan Hall is only afraid that it is in jeopardy. ”
Ling Wei seemed to be very dissatisfied with her father's words, but she pursed her lips and said, "How can you see it?" In my opinion, the two of them are just a little bit of a doctor. The old man is a doctor in the rivers and lakes, and his medical skills are only a mixture of sideways, which is not orthodox. The small one is too small, and at first glance she is a young lady who has never seen the world, even if she sees some clues today, and there will be more troublesome symptoms in the future, I am afraid she will not be able to cope with it. The signboard of our Deshantang was handed down from my grandfather, how could it be smashed so easily? ”
Ling Renjie shook his head and was silent, and Bao Niang, who had been listening to the side, interjected and said, "Miss, let me say a few more words, you are still young after all." It's impossible to say what happens in this world, it's not that you want him to do it, he can do it. Let's take our old Zhang family in the west of the city as an example, their tea shop has been open for several lifetimes. A year ago, Master Zhan bought all the tea plantations in Lion Peak. You also know that the Longjing we have here is the best quality of the Longjing in Shifeng, and this is the main business of the Zhangjia Tea Shop, but the Zhan family suddenly cut off the supply of goods, and everyone panicked. ”
So the Zhang family only bought some other tea, and tried every possible way to beg Master Zhan to sell him some goods. Who knew that the Zhan family not only bought a tea garden, but also opened a new tea shop, specializing in this Shifeng Longjing, how could they sell their own goods to his Zhang family? Later, Master Zhan made them impatient, so he reluctantly agreed to sell them some, but the price was ...... Sitting on the ground has risen by 30%, and it is not allowed to bargain! The old man of the Zhang family is so angry in his heart, but what can he do? It's not that I swallowed my anger and accepted this price. ”
"Now that the purchase price of his tea has risen, the price of the tea sold has to go up a little, but it is still not as good as the Zhan family's sales, and the business is not as good as day by day, and the more the loss is bigger. Later, they also felt that it was really aggrieved to grab this food from the Zhan family, so they calculated that they would not enter the Shifeng Longjing in the future, and sell other kinds of tea instead. But how can this be so easy? There are so many tea gardens in Meijiawu and Wuyun Mountain, which have been done by people for many years, not what they want to do. In addition, they have changed their new tea varieties, and the original customers are about to run out. Now the old Zhang family is getting worse. I have a cousin who works in his tea shop, and I see that I can't hold on anymore, and now I secretly want to go to Nazhan's house. ”
Bao Niang let out a long sigh after speaking, and looked at Ling Wei worriedly and said, "Miss, the master's worries are not unreasonable, we really have to think about it." The Zhan family has done the royal medicinal herb business, and there is a medicinal herb shop under their hands. Let's not talk about what to fight with others, but at least we have to keep our food. ”
Ling Wei heard Bao Niang's reasoning at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was wrong, and she stiffened her neck and retorted: "I think you are thinking too much. How can selling tea and practicing medicine be the same thing? The people who open pharmacies in this city all have ancestral secret recipes, and they are all things that are more important than their own lives, could it be that the Zhan family can still send someone to steal them? I think they are also businessmen, and they will not use that as a means. In this case, let's still see people's diseases and sell our medicine in a down-to-earth manner, he does his, we do ours, and the two of them are safe. Besides, I've learned almost everything with my father now, and I can already be a teacher, and we can treat people like that female doctor, and we can-"
Ling Renjie, who had been silent, suddenly interrupted her stiffly and said, "I can't bear to detain you in that rule on weekdays, I don't want to get used to you becoming less and less like a woman." Still want to be a female doctor? If it goes on like this, how can you get married? If you don't stay in the big girl, you're seventeen. Saying that, he instructed Bao Niang again: "Bao Niang, you should pay more attention these days, and if there is a suitable person, please tell me to take a look." Xiaowei's marriage can't be delayed any longer. With that, he got up with a straight face and walked out.
Ling Wei was talking happily, but she was splashed with a basin of cold water on her father's head, and she was suddenly stunned, and only after half a sound did she say aggrievedly: "What's wrong with my father?" What do you do with this stubble? ”
Bao Niang sighed and persuaded: "The shopkeeper is also well-intentioned, I'm afraid that if the family loses in the future, you will suffer, so it's better to marry early now." You have to be considerate of his painstaking efforts. ”
"I don't!" I saw Ling Wei biting a mouthful of finely broken white teeth, and said angrily: "I have long said that I will not marry in this life!" Even if you have to get married, you have to be willing to join the Ling family! Since my father has taught me the medical skills passed down from my family since I was a child, it is for me to inherit the ancestral business of the Ling family, why did he suddenly change his hexagram! ”
"Alas......" Bao Niang patted her shoulder comfortingly, but she didn't know what to say.
