Chapter 8 Ideas to make money
After Aunt Ying heard Lin Zifu's plan, she was not worried that Lin Zifu would go to the town alone, and said worriedly: "I will go to the town with you tomorrow, and I will not worry about you going to the town alone." ”
It takes at least an hour to walk from the village to the town, and there are a few sections of the road that are still very remote, and she regards Lin Zifu as her granddaughter in her heart, so she naturally doesn't want her to encounter any danger.
Seeing that Aunt Ying insisted on going, Lin Zifu could only agree to come down.
Before dawn on the second day, Lin Zifu and Aunt Ying locked the door with a basket on their backs.
The cool breeze blew and the dogs in the village barked at the sound, breaking the silence of the village.
Aunt Ying and Lin Zifu each carried a back basket, Lin Zifu's back basket contained eight or nine catties of wheat winter, and Aunt Ying's back basket contained perilla and picked wild chrysanthemums.
When I bought furniture, I followed him to the town, and Lin Zifu remembered the road at that time, knowing that if she followed the village road to the official road, she could go directly to the town.
It took more than half an hour to get to the town that day and take a carriage, and it will take more time to walk today, so it was already dawn when I got to the town.
It's not a market day, and there aren't many people on the streets.
Lin Zifu knew very well that the most taboo thing for people doing business was to pay when they opened the door, and places like the medicine hall were no exception, so she stopped in the alley not far from the medicine hall.
Aunt Ying looked at Lin Zifu very incomprehensibly and said, "Why don't you go?" ”
Lin Zifu put the basket on the ground, and then took the basket on Aunt Ying's back and said: "This kind of place to open the door to do business, the most taboo thing is to pay before it opens, even if we go now, people will not buy our herbs, so let's eat some dry food here, and wait." ”
Aunt Ying didn't know about it yet, but when she heard it, she felt that it made sense, and the two turned out the dry food and squatted in the alley to eat.
Occasionally, pedestrians pass by on the street, and they will look at the two of them curiously, but Lin Zifu doesn't mind, and looks at the medicine hall from time to time.
Finally saw a guest buying medicine coming out of the medicine hall, Lin Zifu was excited to carry the basket, but Aunt Ying grabbed her arm at the moment.
"What's wrong with my mother-in-law?"
Aunt Ying put all the herbs in her basket in Lin Zifu's basket and said, "I won't go out to be scary with my appearance, I'll wait for you here." The scar on her face made her feel inferior, and she always felt that going like this would affect the business.
Lin Zifu looked at Aunt Ying helplessly and said, "Mother-in-law doesn't have to mind her appearance too much. ”
She felt very sorry for Aunt Ying, such a good person, but because of this scar......
Aunt Ying knew Lin Zifu's kindness, and laughed: "I'm afraid of life, so I'll leave this matter to you." ”
I no longer persuaded Aunt Ying, and went to the medicine hall with a basket on my back.
Ye's Pharmacy, looking at the name of the medicine hall, was a little surprised, the name of this medicine hall was a bit strange.
This is the only pharmacy in town, and the only way to sell medicine is here.
I was still scared in my heart, so I walked in with a backpack on my back.
On three walls of the medicine hall are medicine cabinets, with the names of medicinal herbs pasted on them, and a small door in the corner leading to the backyard of the medicine hall.
A medicine boy who was about twelve or thirteen years old was cleaning the dust, and when he saw Lin Zifu coming in, he immediately said, "Pick up medicine or look at the disease?" ”
Lin Zifu smiled awkwardly, standing in the middle of the medicine hall a little helpless, and asked tentatively, "I don't know if you collect herbs here?" ”
As soon as Angelica heard that it was selling medicine, his attitude was not so enthusiastic, and the feather duster in his hand kept sweeping the counter, glanced at Lin Zifu and said, "Have you ever concocted it?" If it is not concocted, we will not accept it. ”
Lin Zifu was a little disappointed in her heart, it was really similar to what she guessed, the herbs that the medicine hall usually wants to concoct, but the herbs have to wait for more than ten days, worried that if something happens at that time, she and Aunt Ying will be hungry.
However, if people don't accept it, they can't just let others accept it: "Then I want to ask, what is the price of the concocted herbs?" For example, how much is a pound of wheat Dong. ”
I want to ask the price of herbs, so that I know what herbs are cost-effective to pick in the future.
Angelica was a little impatient, and came to sell medicine early in the morning to affect the business, and the feather duster in his hand increased, and the counter "snapped": "I said you are not annoyed, if you have concocted herbs to sell, the price will not lose you, and our pharmacy will buy it according to the price purchased outside." ”
At this moment, Lin Zifu was even more embarrassed, and she was also very entangled in her heart, and she had a lot of doubts in her heart to ask, but the attitude of the medicine boy said everything, that is, people didn't want to deal with her at all.
People are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, sigh and turn around to leave.
At this moment, a gentle voice came from the back hall: "Angelica must not be rude, how can I teach you, be polite to people, and apologize to this lady." ”
Lin Zifu stared at the small door next to the counter, but saw a young man wearing a white brocade robe, with a graceful demeanor and an exceptionally handsome appearance, walked out, the son was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with sword eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes were very charming.
The jade crown on that head was very dazzling, and Lin Zifu couldn't help but be stunned.
But in an instant, Lin Zifu came back to her senses and nodded gratefully at Childe.
The medicine boy, who had a bad attitude just now, heard the words of the child, and said repeatedly: "Madame, please don't be angry, it was angelica rude just now." ”
Lin Zifu clearly saw Angelica's cunning eyes, and smiled helplessly, knowing that the medicine boy did not sincerely want to apologize, but was afraid of this young man.
She bowed slightly to Childe and said, "Thank you, Childe." ”
Then turn around and leave.
Ye Beichen has been running a medicine hall in this town for two years, and at the beginning, there were villagers who came to sell medicines, but their medicine hall only accepted concocted herbs.
At most, the villagers can only know about medicinal herbs, but they don't know how to concoct them, and over time, no one will continue to sell them.
Unexpectedly, someone came to the door today, and Lin Zifu's appearance also made him curious, she looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old, but what she could comb was the woman's bun, and the little white flower inserted in the bun explained Lin Zifu's identity, this is the widow who just died of her husband.
After looking Lin Zifu up and down, there was a little more sympathy in her heart, and the herbs in the back basket seemed to have been carefully sorted out, and she hadn't asked Lin Zifu about the situation, but she saw that the girl turned around to leave.
"You wait." couldn't help but shout Lin Zifu.
Lin Zifu had already walked two or three steps, and was stopped by Ye Beichen, so she could only turn around and turn around, wondering, "Is there something wrong with the son?" ”
Angelica said proudly on the side: "This is my son-in-law, and I am also the owner of this medicine hall." ”
Lin Zifu was very surprised, she didn't expect the owner of this medicine hall to be so young, he looked like he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, he didn't expect to be able to open a medicine hall.
Ye Beichen was a little dissatisfied with Angelica, glared at Angelica, and then walked towards Lin Zifu and smiled gently: "Madame is here to sell medicine?" ”
