Chapter 30: Moving to a New House
"Dad, I'll just go later. Dad, the doctors here are even rarer and more precious than we imagined, and the selling price of medicinal materials is more than one-third more expensive than the medicine in our hometown.
Today, I brought a little bit of medicinal herbs to the town to sell them to the pharmacy, and I sold them for a small five taels of silver.
Also, today I asked the pharmacy in the town, and they also recruit doctors to sit in the hall for consultation.
And the salary given is not low, you can also take three days off a month, give four taels of silver a month's wages, make two clothes, shoes and socks every season, and give something during the New Year's holidays.
When I was invited to go out to see a doctor, the consultation fee was split in half with the pharmacy, and the medicinal materials sold were also paid for one-third of the medicinal materials.
Dad, what do you think? Huang Bai told his father about the news he inquired about today.
"The medicinal materials here are so valuable, some time ago, our family picked so many medicines from the mountains, if they were all sold, wouldn't it be an income of dozens of taels of silver.
Then what kind of adobe house can our family build, we can directly build a blue brick house, and then tighten our belts, maybe we can set up a shop in the town to open a pharmacy for our family. When Huang Zhang's heard that the medicinal materials were valuable here, she regretted what kind of earthen embryo house she built, and didn't it smell good to build a blue brick and tile house in one step?
"Mother, you're just thinking a little too much. We can sell some medicinal materials for some money for daily use.
But the medicinal materials that were collected could not be sold out all at once, and they had to be left for my father and eldest brother to use for the treatment of patients.
If our family lacks medicinal materials, even if we have a father and eldest brother to treat people, there is no medicine!
And before escaping the famine, my father and eldest brother sold the silver needles, and these things had to be bought, and they couldn't afford to spend money.
It's impossible to sell those medicinal herbs, just build a house, as long as you live in it, you don't want anything else!
This man! You have to take one step at a time, and you have to eat one bite at a time, and you want to eat it directly into a big fat man. Huang Lian saw that her mother was thinking too much, and his mother had taught her before, but today she had a chance, and Huang Lian didn't say his mother vaguely, anyway, what she said was reasonable.
"The second child now knows this reason, not bad! The second child has grown a lot. Huang Yaozi was quite relieved to see that his second son had begun to think about so many things.
"Yes, yes, your father and son are right.
Second, I found that you have some grudges! I've given you back all the things I told you before, right? I dare to preach to the old lady. Huang Zhang glanced at his second son and said.
"What's the matter, I'm just going to talk about things." Naturally, he couldn't say this explicitly, and Huang Lian shook his head and naturally refused to admit it.
"Boss, before your third brother said that he would go to the town to sit in the hall for a consultation, what do you think?" Huang Yaozi didn't care about the old woman and second son, and turned to his eldest son and asked.
"I listen to Daddy." Skullcap said in a muffled voice.
"It's not every day that people come to ask our father and son to go to the doctor, just keep one at home.
In a few days, the weather should be completely cold, and it will not be possible to go up the mountain to collect medicine, and it is estimated that you will have to rest for several months before you can collect medicine, and you will not be able to have no income during this time.
It just so happened that you went to work in the pharmacy in the town, earned some money, and took Tiandong to sit in the hall with you to see a doctor and learn more things. Huang Yaozi quickly made a decision in his heart and instructed Skullcap.
"Okay, I know, I'll take Tiandong to the town pharmacy tomorrow morning." Skullcap saw that his father had an arrangement, and he just had to obey.
"Grandpa, I also want to go to the pharmacy in the town with my uncle to see a doctor, and work with my eldest brother to be an apprentice and medicine boy for my uncle." Huang Shisu said to her grandfather.
Staying in the village by herself, she couldn't play much use, and when she went to the town, she saw more people of all kinds, and naturally more patients, so she had the opportunity to play her strengths.
"Moreover, when I went to the pharmacy in the town with my uncle to see a doctor, I could ask about the consultation fee of the patient, and how much a pair of medicines were sold for needles, bone correction, moxibustion and medicinal materials.
Let's figure it out, if we open our own pharmacy in the future, we will have a clear mind in our hearts, and we won't sell the medicine too expensive or cheaper. Huang Shisu continued.
"Girl, the way to the town, you have to walk for an hour or two every day, how hard it is, if you want to study medicine, you can also study with your grandfather at home.
Otherwise, we won't go with your uncle to the town to see a doctor and become an apprentice medicine boy. Huang Bai felt a little sorry for his daughter to walk so long every day.
"Dad, it's okay! Therefore, the heavens will descend on people, and they must suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies.
My daughter is a person who does big things, how can she not be able to suffer at all? Huang Shisu insisted.
"My family Su Su said well, you must suffer your mind, work your muscles and bones, starve your body and skin, empty your body, and suffer from the hardships of being a master.
Endure hardship today, and enjoy happiness tomorrow. Huang Zhang was relieved and proud that his granddaughter had this opinion.
"Okay, you will go with your uncle and eldest brother." Huang Yaozi saw that Su Su insisted on going repeatedly, and he agreed to Huang Zisu's proposal after a moment of silence.
Su Su is smart and capable, and has her own opinions, what she decides, it is difficult for anyone to change her mind, and this matter is not a big deal, Huang Yaozi has no reason to refuse.
On the second day, before the hour, the Huang family said goodbye to the banker, and walked to the new home with things.
After a while, the sound of firecrackers echoed throughout Yunhe Village, and bursts of green smoke drifted from above the village, and the villagers also knew that today was the Huang family's move and housewarming.
Although the villagers in the village have no kinship with the Huang family, the Huang family has a doctor, and basically every family in the village will bring something to the door of the Huang family, congratulations to the Huang family on their housewarming.
Of course, their family does not make banquets, and the housewarming things sent by the villagers are some things that are common in the family, not a few dishes or a piece of meat, chicken and duck, some sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and rice noodles.
All of a sudden, there was a bustle in front of the Huang family, and many villagers were sitting or standing in the Huang family house, the front yard, and the door.
"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I am very grateful to the villagers who built my house, and I am very grateful to everyone for coming and letting everyone break the bank.
You all know what the situation is in our family, and I feel very ashamed that I can't make a banquet.
In order to talk about my heart, the only thing I can do is my medical skills, and if the villagers come to our house for medical treatment in the future, I will definitely not refuse. Huang Yaozi stepped forward and bowed his hand to the surrounding villagers.
