Under Qin Miaomiao's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Su Mu promised to put several other shops under her name, but it was not given for nothing, and each shop was five hundred taels of silver.
After getting these shops, whenever she couldn't sleep, Qin Miaomiao calculated in her heart, adding up to what she owed Su Mu almost five thousand taels of silver.
In the three years she has been here, she has worked hard to make herself stronger, from a penniless little girl to a debt-ridden girl, she only took three years.
At the end of the month, Qin Miaomiao went to the county government to settle the payment for the goods, although it was risky to work with the official family, but the benefits were not small, a single business almost earned her half a year's money, but what made her happy was more than that, she not only received the silver, but also brought back a plaque rewarded by the government, and a few gilt characters were clearly embedded on it. Although it is still Qin Ji medicinal materials acquisition line, the color of this word has changed from dark red to gold-plated, which proves that her shop will be an imperial merchant in the future, and only imperial merchants in all walks of life can use gilded plaques, and her status has grown a step high. Not only that, but there is also a breakdown of what she needs to stock up on for the coming year.
Unlike other imperial merchants, most of the varieties required were prepared by the Tai Hospital a year in advance, because medicinal materials were not available and needed to be planted in advance.
And the reason why Qin Miaomiao was able to be promoted to the imperial merchant in the first year of supply, in fact, she took advantage of the right time, place and people.
Tianshi is because the medicinal herb merchant in her area has committed the great crime of exile, this piece of supply is in short supply, and the geographical advantage is that the quality of the medicinal materials she received this time is much higher than in previous years, and almost all of them are rated as first-class, and it is natural that Chen Yuanbo gave her this opportunity, but many people can't ask for this opportunity.
Bringing the order back, Qin Miaomiao thought about it, looked at it again and again, and finally used her own method to re-transcribe the order, in order to prevent it from happening.
She was writing on the side, Su Mu sat on the side and watched, while pondering, and after looking at it for a while, she finally couldn't help but ask: "Miao Miao, what are you writing here?"
There is a smug smile, even if Su Mu is smart, he can't see what he writes, in fact, what she writes is very simple, in modern times, three-year-old children can also understand it, that is pinyin.
However, there is no pinyin in this era, Su Mu looked at the twists and turns written by Qin Miaomiao, row by row. He knew it was words, but he couldn't read them at all.
handed the transcribed order to Su Mu: "You are looking at it again, this is the order I wrote." ”
Su Mu took it and read it again word by word, line by line, but he was still confused and shook his head: "Your method of recording is very mysterious, although I know that there are rules to be found, but I still can't tell what is written in it." ”
Qin Miaomiao nodded with satisfaction, she just couldn't understand anyone, even if her order was stolen by Ge Jun or other competitors, they would not be able to know what the content of this order was.
If they don't know this content, they can't stock up according to the order, this time the order is very large, if it is not prepared in advance, I am afraid that no one will be able to make up so many goods in a short time.
Qin Miaomiao told Su Mu his thoughts, and Su Mu nodded approvingly, but also put forward his opinion: "Even if you hide the content of the order, if someone has a heart to go to the medicine field next year to take a look, what varieties are planted more and what varieties are less, it is still easy to guess which goods you want to prepare." ”
Qin Miaomiao also considered this, but she had already figured out a way to deal with it, she had been in contact with the medicinal materials for two whole years, and she already had a big sigh in her heart about how many wild medicinal materials could be produced every year in this area of Luerling, and the annual amount could almost meet the needs of the order, so she didn't all point to the medicine field to ship.
The medicine field is only responsible for a small part, so that she can confuse the public, and there are many kinds of plants in the medicine field, and she will not focus on which one is planted, so that others have no way to guess which herbs she needs.
And she is only worried about it, that is, she is afraid that someone will destroy her medicine field by any means, so she must tell the medicine farmers to step up their care.
The matter of ordering in the coming year is properly considered, Qin Miaomiao's next days will be much more leisurely, now it is winter, it is the off-season for the purchase of medicinal materials, and the Lin medicine box in the shop every day is very busy, and there is basically no need for Qin Miaomiao to worry about it.
And Ge Jun has stopped a lot these days, and he hasn't seen him since he met him in the restaurant.
Qin Miaomiao took a general look at the shops that Su Mu gave her, and decided to set off next month to go to the location of each shop to make a field trip to see what kind of business these shops are suitable for opening a medical hall and pharmacy.
Qin Miaomiao was packing up to go out, she sold a carriage and hired a coachman, this time she planned to leave for a while, one was to look at the shop, and the other was to go out for a walk, she had not been out of the boundary of Luerling since she came here, and the farthest was to collect medicinal herbs and go to several nearby towns a while ago.
She planned to rush back before the spring planting this time, so she brought a lot of things in large and small bags.
Several younger sisters have already settled down, and there are almost no villagers on Sanya's side who come to deliver medicine, so she and Siya moved to the town to take care of several younger sisters, and the house in Hexi Village was left to Old Man Li to take care of, and he was given one or two silver a month for his hard work.
And Qin Miaomiao not only brought them to the town, but also invited an old Xiucai, who was responsible for teaching her sisters to read and write, and she taught them when she was at home, but she couldn't delay this time, so she asked Lin Medicine Box to find an old Xiucai with good character and teach them a few lessons.
After settling her sisters well, Qin Miaomiao had no worries in her heart, she had already started packing up a few days in advance, preparing to choose a sunny day with Su Mu and set off.
When she was packing up her clothes, Yang Liu, who she hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly came to the shop, her eyes were red, and she obviously cried fiercely.
Seeing Qin Miaomiao, she stood upright by the door, and did not enter the house, and her tears fell again before she could open her mouth.
Qin Miaomiao hurriedly got up and climbed out of a pile of baggage, ran to Yang Liu's side, took her hand and led her into the house, in fact, without asking Qin Miaomiao, she also knew a rough idea, Yang Liu must have been angry at her mother-in-law's house again.
He took Yang Liujel's cold hand into his arms, and said while wiping his tears: "Why are your hands so cold?" Your mother-in-law bullied you again and made you angry?"
Since Sanya and Siya moved to the town, Qin Miaomiao hasn't returned to the village, so she doesn't know what happened.
Yang Liu nodded and shook his head, completely confused Qin Miaomiao.
"What's the matter, tell me quickly, you're about to give birth to them and bully you? Your father didn't go to their house?" Qin Miaomiao didn't mention Yang Liu's father, but fortunately, her tears flowed even more fiercely.
"Miao Miao, my father's leg was discounted by Chen Fu with his two younger brothers, and my brother was also sued by Chen Fu to enter the yamen." After Yang Liu finished crying, Qin Miaomiao was stunned.
Chen Fu: Is this crazy? After being the village chief for a few days, Yangyun didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick?
Qin Miao slapped the table angrily, got up and was about to rush out of the door, but after walking back a few steps and seemed to come back to his senses: "Yang Liu, do you have anything else to hide from me, Chen Fu only beat your father and your brother?" Isn't he bullying you anymore?"
Yang Liu glanced at Qin Miaomiao, tears were like beads with broken threads, flowing down, Qin Miaomiao sat back beside Yang Liu a little anxiously, and touched a few handfuls of tears for her: "Don't cry, you tell me what's wrong, I'll help you get angry!" ”
Yang Liu can be regarded as her best friend here, since the last time the villagers planned to beat her, Yang Liu rushed to her side with a stick, Qin Miaomiao decided that she was her lifelong friend.
Yang Liu sobbed a few times, looked at Qin Miaomiao with some embarrassment, seemed to have something to say but couldn't say it, and finally sobbed for a long time before he spoke: "Miao Miao, let me tell you, don't say it, it's because of Chen Fu." ”
"What's wrong with Chen Fu?" Of course Qin Miaomiao knew that it was because of Chen Fu, but Chen Fu had always been an honest person, and he and Yang Liu had grown up together since childhood, although it was not a hundred good for her, but seventy or eighty were still good, how could he suddenly do such a bastard thing.
"Chen Fu took advantage of the fact that I was too old to have sex with another woman outside, and as a result, he got this woman pregnant." Yang Liu's eyes were full of disappointment when he said these words, and he looked at Qin Miaomiao with sad eyes, obviously still immersed in sadness and did not ease up.
"It's not a human, how do you know that? He told you with a shy face? Why don't you scratch him to death?" Qin Miaomiao felt that she was flustered and short of breath, holding her breath in her chest, unable to spit it out or swallow.
"I scratched, it was because of this attack on me, my father and brother couldn't get angry, so they fought with Chen Fu and them." Yang Liu stirred her fingers a little uneasily, she felt embarrassed in her heart, her in-laws should be as close as her relatives, but her parents fought with her husband and in-laws, which was a big ugly family.
"Then Chen Fu put down such a heavy hand, discounted your father's leg, and reported to the official to arrest your brother?" Qin Miaomiao felt a little incredible, it was really terrible for this person to change his heart, after all, Chen Fu was usually so honest and loyal, and he didn't want to be such a ruthless person at all.
When it came to this, Yang Liu was not only embarrassed, but also angry, and almost blurted out: "If it weren't for Chen He's slut, how could Chen Fu become like this!" It's all behind her back! ”
"Chen He, what does this matter have to do with Chen He?" Since being rectified by Qin Miaomiao last time, Chen He has not appeared in Qin Miaomiao's field of vision for a long time, and if Yang Liu doesn't mention it today, she will almost forget about this person.
