030 Spend money
This time I went to the town again, and Tian Laoqi was familiar with the way and directly pulled them to the Xie family pharmacy.
It was still the young man from last time who received Mu Qing, and when he saw Mu Qing, he smiled and said, "The little girl is here to sell medicine again this time?" ”
"yes. But this time, it's not just Yindan grass, I also brought some other medicinal herbs, and I want to ask Dr. Xie to see the given price. I wonder if Dr. Xie is here today? Mu Qing also smiled and followed him inside.
"Yes. Dr. Xie has not been seen in the past two days. "Regarding the doctors of this era, Mu Qing now has a basic understanding. Doctors, like modern doctors, generally sit in the infirmary. But there are also some families who come to the clinic to ask a doctor to visit their home. There are not many such things, and it is generally the woman in the boudoir who is inconvenient to go out and invites a doctor to come to the door, or the patient is inconvenient to move to the hospital. But correspondingly, the consultation fee for home visits will naturally be slightly more expensive than in the hospital, so in order to save some medical expenses, ordinary people would rather drag the sick body to the hospital for medical treatment.
I still walked through the courtyard full of medicinal herbs, and arrived at the hall where Mu Qing and Dr. Xie met last time. Xiao Wu raised his voice and shouted, "Doctor Xie, Miss Mu is here." Then he poured Mu Qing a cup of tea and turned back to the front yard. Mu Qing sat on the chair, holding the teacup, staring at the teacup in his hand with his eyes, nose, nose and heart. After a while, footsteps sounded at the door, and Mu Qing raised his eyes to see that it was Dr. Xie, and quickly stood up from the chair.
"Doctor Xie, meet again." Mu Qing smiled and saluted him. Dr. Xie smiled and accepted her salute, and said, "What good things did you bring to me today?" ”
"You're an old doctor, you haven't seen any medicinal herbs. The herbs I found will be in your eyes, so don't make fun of me. Besides, I barely knew a few medicinal materials with a medical book, and all I could find were ordinary medicinal materials. Mu Qing squinted and smiled and amused him.
Doctor Xie was very relieved by Mu Qing's compliment, and he happily let people carry the medicinal materials brought by Mu Qing into the courtyard. The mint was set aside separately, the price they had set last time, and they would just need to weigh it later. Doctor Xie bent down and poured out the basket of medicinal herbs that Mu Qing had brought over, and the wood yam and the other medicinal herbs were separated. Because wood yam is also a commonly used medicine, and this kind of thing is easy to find like mint, so it was finally set at four yuan a catty. The amount of other medicinal materials was too small, so Mu Qing simply made a head and sent those directly to the pharmacy. Doctor Xie didn't let Mu Qing suffer, and when he left, he gave Mu Qing a medical book, and told her to read it, and if she didn't know anything, she could come and ask him.
Mu Qing didn't take the medical book to heart, and she didn't take Dr. Xie's advice to heart, and gave the medical book to Xiaoshi as soon as she got out of the pharmacy. In her opinion, Little Stone is better suited to reading this book than she is. Xiao Shi carried the medical book that Mu Qing threw to him, and his heart turned a few times.
This time, the two of them sold a total of 62 wen, and after buying snacks for Noble, there were still 59 wen left. Xiaoshi's dividends have not been asked, and he made it clear that he has no place to use the money now, so he temporarily stored it here in Mu Qing. However, Mu Qing felt from the bottom of her heart that Xiaoshi didn't pay attention to these dozens of dollars at all.
After buying snacks, it was still early to see that it was still early, so Mu Qing took Tian Laoqi to the grocery store. Because the grocery store on West Street belonged to Tian Xiaozhi's family, under Mu Qing's strong recommendation, Tian Laoqi took the two of them to a grocery store on North Street. The direction of entering the town from Tianjia Village is from the west, and there is a grocery store opened by Tian Xiaozhi on the west street, so the people of Tianjia Village usually go to Tian Xiaozhi's shop to buy everything they need. Naturally, there are fewer grocery stores on North Street.
After Tian Laoqi drove the ox cart to the door of the shop, he squatted at the door and smoked a dry tobacco pouch. Mu Qing and Xiao Shi entered the shop for a walk.
If you want to make canned yellow peaches, the first thing you need is canned bottles, followed by condiments. Fortunately, the condiments are not valuable, and you can buy them at a general grocery store. That is, rock sugar and white sugar. White sugar is five pennies a catty, and rock sugar is three pennies a catty. Mu Qing chose a palm-sized jar of yellow peaches, so the amount of such a jar is not much, and the cost is not expensive, so the price has naturally dropped. Most families can buy it back and give it to their children to try.
Mu Qing didn't plan to do more in the early stage, but only planned to do a 10-can experiment. The jar cost two cents a piece, a pound of sugar, and a pound of rock sugar, and it cost 28 yuan at once. Mu Qing counted the copper plate back and forth a few times before reluctantly handing it to the guy at the grocery store. The young man twitched the corner of his mouth, clutching the other end of his purse in his hand. Still Xiaoshi couldn't see it, reached out and patted Mu Qing's hand, Mu Qing withdrew his hand aggrievedly, and watched the little guy pour the copper plate in his purse into the cash cabinet.
"That's a dozen catties of mint in exchange." Mu Qing felt that her heart was dripping blood, could she regret it now? Can she take credit? Shopkeeper, do you want to brush your face?
If the grocery store shopkeeper knew Mu Qing's thoughts at this time, he would definitely kick her out unceremoniously!
After collecting the money, the guy Malier moved all the things Mu Qing bought to the ox cart. In the end, the guy probably couldn't stand Mu Qing's pitiful eyes, so he gave Mu Qing an extra jar against his scalp.
Tian Laoqi was a little stunned when he looked at the old things Mu Qing bought, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mu Qing, what are you buying these things for?" ”
Mu Qing was still immersed in the emotions that had just spent 28 copper plates, and Tian Laoqi's words were automatically blocked. He got into the ox cart and sat on the side with a wooden face and stopped talking.
"Da, let's go back. I've been out for a long time, and I'm hungry. Xiaoshi glanced at Mu Qing, who was pretending to be dead on the side, and opened his mouth in time to relieve the siege.
"Hey, go home. When you say that, baby, you're hungry too. Tian Laoqi was interrupted by the small stone like this, and immediately wanted to ask Mu Qing a question, and as soon as he raised his whip, the ox cart kicked and walked outside the town.
Not long after they left, a tall and strong man drove the ox cart to the door of the grocery store. As soon as his car stopped at the door of the shop, a guy ran out and greeted him warmly: "Li Da came to deliver the goods again, don't say that the small cans you sent last time sold quite well, and they were sold ten more just now." ”
The man called Li Da grabbed the cloth towel around his neck and wiped his sweat, took out a list from his coat pocket and handed it to the man, and squatted aside without saying a word.
