Chapter 8 Selling Drugs
Chen Duohai often comes to Qingsong Town, and is more familiar with the roads in the city, so he found a grocery store after bypassing two streets, and first bought all the things his daughter-in-law wanted, and then took Chen Ping shopping.
There are many shops along the street, as well as all kinds of stalls, shouting and shouting, the two of them go shopping, but they just walk around and have a look, things can't be bought indiscriminately, and every penny of the family is planned to be used.
Chen Ping twitched his nose and smelled the fragrance wafting from afar. In front of it is a broth seller, and there is an iron pot on the side of the street, in which milky bone broth is stewed.
There were a few small wooden tables behind the stalls, which were full of diners, and Chen Duohai secretly swallowed his saliva when he saw it. Seeing that it was noon, the two of them were also hungry, but there were pancakes brought from home, and they choked on the pancakes.
The price of a bowl of broth is really expensive, it costs fifteen cents. Chen Duohai was reluctant to spend this money, but today was the first time he took his son into the city, and he couldn't say anything if he didn't buy anything as a father.
In the end, Chen Duohai only needed a bowl of broth, brought it back and put it in front of Chen Ping, and took out the pancakes he brought from home, "Eat quickly." ”
Chen Ping felt very uncomfortable, and ran over to ask the boss for a bowl and soup spoon, "Dad, there are so many bowls of broth, how can I finish drinking it as a child, let's share it." ”
Chen Duohai smelled the smell of meat, salivated for a long time, and said with relief: "Okay, Dad didn't hurt you kid in vain." Now is the time for you to grow your body, eat more meat. ”
He only poured half a bowl of soup and left all the meat in the soup to Chen Ping.
Looking at his father's eyes, Chen Ping didn't give in anymore, the two of them ate happily, and the pancakes in their hands became fragrant with the broth, and they soon ate and drank to their heart's content, and the two bowls were naturally clean and bottom-out.
Chen Duohai picked up the cloth bag and settled the account, took Chen Ping to continue shopping, and walked to the door of a medicinal herb shop, on which the plaque read the three big characters of Zhongrentang.
Chen Ping walked into Zhongren Hall with his father, it was deserted inside, and a guy greeted him and asked, "Are the guests coming to see a doctor or to grab medicine?" ”
Chen Duohai shook his head and asked cautiously: "Little brother, we don't see a doctor or catch medicine, I want to ask if you accept medicinal materials here?" ”
A middle-aged man with a bloated body walked out from behind the counter, with a bit of gloom between his eyebrows, looked Fan Chen Duohai up and down, and said impatiently: "Hurry up, go quickly, we don't accept medicinal herbs." ”
Chen Duohai's smile froze on his face, extremely embarrassed. Chen Ping was a little angry, and he was about to argue with this Doctor Zheng, but Chen Duohai didn't say a word, and pulled him out of the door.
Out of the gate of Zhongren Hall, Chen Ping exhaled angrily: "If you don't accept it, you won't accept it, and you will drive people away, this Doctor Zheng is too snobbish!" ”
Chen Duohai smiled bitterly, he has encountered a lot of things like this, even if he is scolded twice, he will swallow his anger, is he not a man's blood? The reason is that he is at the bottom of society and cannot afford to pay the price for this blood.
It's not good to be a teacher!
Chen Ping also fell silent, could it be that his hard work for a few days was going to be in vain? He's not one to give up easily.
"Dad, are there any other herb shops in this city?"
Chen Duohai was already a little hesitant at this time, he felt that Chen Ping had been fooled before, and he had just been lost face, and he had no hope of selling medicinal herbs.
"Yes, there is, there is a Guangyi Hall on the other side of East Street, if it doesn't work this time, let's not look for it, and it's time to go and meet with your Uncle Pan."
"Hmm. Listen to you. ”
The two walked about a few hundred meters before they came to the door of Guangyi Hall, and saw that this was a pharmacy larger than Zhongrentang.
Chen Ping volunteered: "Dad, I'll ask this time." ”
As soon as you enter the shop, you can smell the smell of various medicinal herbs. A guy was grabbing medicine from the list on the guest's prescription in front of the medicine cabinet. There was also an old man with gray hair in the shop, holding a book and reading it.
Chen Ping stepped forward and asked, "Old man, are you the shopkeeper here?" ”
The old man put down the book, looked up and saw that it was a little kid in front of him, he couldn't help but have a kind smile on his face, and asked curiously, "Little doll, how do you know?" ”
Chen Ping pursed his lips and pointed to the old man's clothes, which were wearing a gray brocade robe.
The old man understood and let out a burst of laughter, "Hahaha, the little doll is very clever, and the old man is the shopkeeper of Guangyi Hall." My surname is Zheng, you can call me Dr. Zheng, what's the matter with you? ”
Seeing this, Chen Duohai put down the cloth bag, took out a handful of sun-dried raspberry leaves, and said with a smile: "Doctor Zheng, we are from the mountains, my baby heard others say that this is a medicinal herb, and I picked some on the mountain, I don't understand a rough man, you help palm the eye, if it is true, you can see if you can accept it." ”
Dr. Zheng was a little surprised, grabbed it and sniffed it, and concluded: "This is indeed a flavored medicinal material, and it is handled properly, but the price is slightly lower, are you willing to sell it?" ”
Chen Duohai was overjoyed, nodded and said, "Yes, what price can Dr. Zheng give?" ”
Doctor Zheng muttered: "Four hundred and fifty wen per catty, if you don't worry, you can feel free to go to other places to inquire about the price." ”
Chen Duohai was overjoyed, he didn't listen carefully, he only felt that it was already very good that this bag of leaves could be sold for money, but when he reacted that it was four hundred and fifty wen a catty, he realized that this inconspicuous medicinal material was so valuable, and this bag could be sold for about ......
Well, arithmetic is his weakness.
Chen Ping felt that this Doctor Zheng didn't cheat them, and when he saw that the cheap father was so excited that he couldn't speak, he said happily: "Deal!" You keep calling these names. ”
And Dr. Zheng also saw the reaction of the father and son, he had come into contact with so many people in his medical practice, and his eyes could be described as very vicious, and he couldn't help laughing: "People are little ghosts, your little doll is interesting." ”
The busy guy came over to weigh him, weighing three catties and four taels, Dr. Zheng took out an abacus and crackled to calculate the total price, and before he finished pulling it, he heard Chen Ping open his mouth and say: "A total of 1,530 Wen!" ”
Doctor Zheng finished playing the last abacus bead, which was the same as the number Chen Ping said, and this time it was his turn to look shocked and look at the child in front of him incredulously.
"Little doll, did you figure this out?"
Dr. Zheng's face was full of disbelief.
