Chapter 68: Windfall
As a result, he couldn't help it, and when he came to the inn that Song Langzhong said in advance, he saw this girl sitting by the door calmly and resting.
Sure enough, people who are confident are not panicking, and the idea of looking down on her has disappeared a lot.
Liu Meibao didn't know that Wang Liuqi had so many messy thoughts, but she wasn't used to talking too much with people she didn't know well, so she just smiled and didn't explain anything.
"I'm about to go over," she said with a smile, as she saluted, "Uncle Wang has come over in person." β
said that she invited him to sit down for tea again, and did not mention the matter of medicine at all, she was polite, but in Wang Liuqi's eyes, it was a different feeling.
"If there's anything delicious here, let's go to my shop first to see my medicine, and then try my good tea." Wang Liuqi also discarded the words prepared in advance, and said straight to the point.
Since he spoke in person, Liu Meibao was no longer polite, asked him to wait, and went in to tell Song Langzhong.
Song Langzhong had already shown two people, and there were three people waiting on the side, saying a few words to Song Langzhong from time to time, asking where the doctor was from.
Seeing Liu Meibao come in, the three of them stopped talking, and their eyes fell on her as if they were nothing.
When a girl walks outside, she always attracts special attention, and Liu Meibao is used to this kind of gaze.
"You young people, you can't speak, it's better for me to go with you." Song Langzhong disagreed, and said while packing up his things, and said sorry to the three of them.
Liu Meibao couldn't give in again and again, so she didn't force it anymore, and nodded to the three people to apologize.
"Doctor, you're busy with yourself." One of the older men hurriedly returned the salute and said gently. His eyes finally fell on Liu Meibao and watched them go together.
A group of people followed Wang Liuqi all the way to his pharmacy, which was a row of imposing tiled houses.
Sure enough, the rich people open shops differently from ordinary people, and the faΓ§ade is very generous, because the medicine store is different from the pharmacy and is used for the trading of medicinal materials, so there are many rooms, but almost all of them have closed doors and windows, and only the lobby door of the three-bay room is open and walks in. There are no facilities for sitting at the doctor's counter or anything, there are a few tables and chairs in the lobby, and then there are shelves of containers, exuding a strong smell of medicine.
Seeing them come in, a young man greeted them warmly. Say hello to Wang Liuqi first.
"Tea." Wang Liuqi generously waved his hand and ordered.
The successful resolution of the last Ejiao incident resolved his great crisis, and now the entire medicine store can operate normally. With genuine gratitude, Wang Liuqi invited them to sit at the table.
After taking a sip of tea, I began to talk about this medicine appraisal and had the experience of the previous time. The contract was soon finalized.
This time, the commonly used common medicine plate blue root was identified, and the price was much lower than the last Ejiao.
After signing and drawing. Liu Meibao followed Wang Liuqi to the treasury.
Along the way, she couldn't help frowning when she saw that the sacks of medicinal herbs were piled up in a mess in the room.
"That's it." Wang Liuqi stopped in front of seven or eight sacks.
Liu Meibao nodded, pressed her thoughts for the time being, and began to seriously open the sack and take out the banlangen to see, she used random spot checks, grabbed two handfuls in each sack, and then carried them out to the concoction room to fry them.
Wang Liuqi still had the idea of learning more and saving a little, and followed her enthusiastically, watching under the banner of hospitality.
"It seems so easyβ" he tiptoed to see as the girl had boiled all the banyan roots. stared at the pots and pans carefully, and asked the medicine cabinet master on the side, "Do you understand?" β
"Got it." The medicine cabinet master nodded. "Don't worry, the shopkeeper knows how she did it. Even if she doesn't say how to see the difference, let's find some real and fake ones and try them a few more times, and we will definitely be able to see it. β
Wang Liuqi nodded with satisfaction, and Liu Meibao also completed the identification.
"No problem, it's all true." She laughed.
"Good work." Wang Liuqi was in a good mood, and ordered someone to withdraw money.
The two walked to the front hall and saw that in addition to Song Langzhong and Zhou Liangyu sitting there eating tea, there was another chubby old man stepping in, wearing a brocade robe, with a fluttering white beard and a red face.
"Shopkeeper Wang is very busy." The old man said with a smile, but there was a bit of joke in his words.
"Shopkeeper Feng is quite idle." Wang Liuqi replied with a snort, didn't care about him, took the money handed by the little servant and gave it to Liu Meibao, "Miss Liu, this is a hard work, you can take it." β
Liu Meibao nodded, looking at the more than two points of silver, and calculated in her heart that except for the cost of staying in the hotel and eating, she didn't earn a lot on this trip, and the more important thing was that Wang Liuqi still didn't seem to have the intention of signing a long contract with her.
If you go on like this, just waiting for someone to buy a fake to find yourself, the probability is too small, not to mention that in ancient times where there are Chinese medicines everywhere, where there are so many fake medicines waiting for her to identify, there are many capable medicine cabinet concoction masters.
Could it be that a financial road that has been found with great difficulty is going to be impassable again?
"I won't leave you to eat, and the weather won't be good." Wang Liuqi smiled again.
This is the meaning of sending off guests, and Song Langzhong and Zhou Liangyu also stood up.
The old man on the side listened to their conversation, his eyes flashed, and he remembered something.
"This is the little girl who helped you see the fake Ejiao?" He asked, taking a few steps.
Wang Liuqi was reluctant to let people mention this matter, but he couldn't stand the fact that Hezhong Mansion was not a big place, and the whole city could know about it, not to mention these peers who were wary of each other.
Vaguely, I don't want to say more, after all, it is not a glamorous thing to buy a fake, and it is not good if it affects the reputation.
"Uncle Wang, I've just looked at your storehouse." Liu Meibao didn't say goodbye, but said again, "Are all the medicinal materials left like that?" β
"How else would you put it?" Wang Liuqi said, looking at the old man watching the excitement on the side, he felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help urging them to go quickly.
"That's not good for medicinal herbs..."Liu Meibao said, pursed her lips, pinched the silver money in her hand, and had to find a way to persuade him and prove that he was worth hiring, "Such a messy stacking is easy to make the medicinal herbs go oil and moldy, and insect bites..."
"That's how everybody puts it." Wang Liuqi smiled and interrupted her.
The old man on the side did not speak again. looked at Liu Meibao with interest.
"Just because everyone is doing this doesn't mean they're right." Liu Meibao said with a smile, "I have some ways to arrange a warehouse to store medicinal materials, which can better ensure the quality of medicinal materials..."
Wang Liuqi looked at her with a smile.
"This method Miss Liu didn't give it for nothing, right?" He said.
"Of course." Liu Meibao was not embarrassed, and smiled, "I just rely on craftsmanship to eat." β
Wang Liuqi laughed dryly.
"Miss Liu, my medicine store has just opened, and I haven't sorted out anything yet, so I'll ask the girl after a while." He laughed.
This is no more, Liu Meibao is very disappointed in her heart, and wants to work hard to promote herself. But seeing that Wang Liuqi was already impatient, he had to swallow it.
"Thank you very much." She bowed her head and took her leave.
Song Langzhong and Zhou Liangyu also thanked each other and said goodbye, and the three of them went out together.
"I'm really wronged." Looking at their backs, Wang Liuqi couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.
"I said shopkeeper Wang, what this girl said makes sense. Why don't you listen. The old man came up and laughed at this time.
"If you're interested, you can pay for it yourself." Wang Liuqi snorted and said.
"You've already spent a lot of money, and you care about spending a little more. It's stingy. The old man laughed.
Wang Liuqi rolled his eyes.
"You don't think it's a lot of money?" He snorted and said, "Tell you, don't look like a little girl, it's very shrewd to calculate accounts." It's the first time I've heard of the document that I used to identify the drug. That clause is long and single, and if you are not careful, she will eat it to death, so you don't know how much money you will give out..."
The old man was more interested in hearing this, and put his hands in his sleeves again, and hooked his feet over a stool.
"Come, tell me, what are the terms and conditions, and what is a long contract?" He sat down and asked.
Let's say that Liu Meibao and the three of them returned to the inn, it was only noon at this time, and it would be dark if they accelerated their journey back to Xie County. Now that the world is not peaceful, for the sake of safety, he decided to stay for one more night, and Song Langzhong went to buy medicinal herbs. and commanded them not to wander around, lest they be abducted.
Although Liu Meibao is very curious about this mansion. But he was still very obedient and didn't go out for a walk, and only sold a pound of persimmons in the shop outside the inn.
Zhou Liangyu took the paper bag handed by the guy, opened it and took out one and handed it to Liu Meibao.
"Let's go home and eat again." Liu Meibao didn't answer.
"What's different about that?" Zhou Liangyu smiled, took her hand and put it in, and put on a brother's posture, "Eat." β
Liu Meibao smiled, broke her hand open, and handed half of it to Zhou Liangyu.
"I don't like to eat this sweet." Zhou Liangyu waved his hand and didn't.
Liu Meibao stood in front of him with a smile and handed it to his mouth with his hand, Zhou Liangyu couldn't dodge, so he had to bite it, and suddenly heard someone next to him coughing, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he was busy holding his face, and he hurriedly reached out to take the persimmon.
At this time, they had already passed through the front hall to the backyard, and were about to go upstairs to the guest room, when they turned their heads to see three people standing under the porch not far from the left.
The elder at the head of the group bowed his hand to them.
These three people were the ones who came to Song Langzhong for diagnosis earlier, and Liu Meibao still remembers.
"Song Langzhong will be back in a while." Liu Meibao thought they were looking for Song Langzhong, so she said.
"There's something I want to ask the girl, I don't know if it's convenient?" The elder walked over slowly, smiling.
Zhou Liangyu looked at them vigilantly and protected Liu Meibao behind him.
"Hey, brother and sister are really close.." The young man standing behind the elder laughed.
His face was a little oily, his eyes slipped over the two, and Zhou Liangyu and Liu Meibao both felt a little uncomfortable.
"I don't know how to diagnose." Liu Meibao said, pulling Zhou Liangyu at the same time, and the two walked away.
"Girl, I don't know if your method of removing mold from ginseng is sold?" The elder hurriedly spoke.
Hearing this, Liu Meibao's footsteps stopped.
"You're a medicine prescriber?" She asked.
The elder nodded, "In the summer, these medicines are always moldy and oily, and they are discarded one by one, which is really a pity and distressing..."
He said with a look of regret on his face.
Liu Meibao nodded, just looked at Wang Liuqi's appearance of the medicinal materials in the warehouse, and said that it was like this now, so he knew that it would definitely be a lot of loss.
"This is because the warehouse is set up unreasonably, and it can be avoided to a large extent if it is improved." She said with a smile, while looking at the three people, she saw that although they were not very rich, they were clean and tidy, and they were not poor people.
"Why don't you two go to the front hall and sit down and talk in detail?" The elder greeted and invited.
Zhou Liangyu thought about it, nodded, and a few people came to the front hall and called the guy to serve good tea, and the old man talked about the problem of the deterioration of the medicinal materials.
"And this is the way to get rid of mold?" The elder asked.
"As long as you protect it, mold can be prevented to a large extent." Liu Meibao replied.
"Then is this method of removing mold included in the method of storage and selling?" The young man on the side couldn't help but ask.
Liu Meibao glanced at him, a trace of doubt flashed in her heart, the moment she sat down, she talked a lot, she talked about how to store and prevent the deterioration of medicinal materials, and all the words of these people finally revolved around how to remove the spoiled medicinal materials, and her brows couldn't help frowning slightly.
When the elder noticed it, he glared at the young man, and then looked at Liu Meibao with a smile.
"The method of storage is of course important, and it is naturally good to prevent problems before they occur, but if there are still moldy medicinal materials, wouldn't it be better to have a way to remove mold?" He said slowly.
"If the herbs are moldy, they are bad, so it's better not to use them." Liu Meibao also said with a smile.
"Didn't that ginseng work? Didn't it work? The young man couldn't help but say again.
Liu Meibao glanced at him.
"That's just moldy, and it can still be used by itself, not because of mold removal." She said.
"That's good, it's good, just sell this to us." The young man looked at her and grinned, his eyes flashing with eagerness.
"Is this?" Liu Meibao pursed her lips, "Don't sell it." β
The three people at the table didn't expect her to answer so simply, they were all stunned.
"Girl, the price is easy to say." The elder said slowly, raising his hand and pushing it on the table.
A silver ingot appeared in front of Liu Meibao.
A large silver ingot in the shape of an ingot, well made, with an inscription stamp on it.
This was the first time Liu Meibao saw a silver ingot after coming here, and she couldn't help but be full of curiosity, and couldn't help but reach out and pick it up.
"This is the finest snowflake silver, weighing two feet, no more than twenty-five taels and one ingots." The elder said slowly.
Twenty-five taels! Liu Meibao was so surprised that she almost opened her mouth to lose her temper, and Zhou Liangyu on the side was also stunned.
