Chapter 125: The City of People
When the sky was bright, Luo Qianhuai and Xing Jiu had already arrived at the new store.
As soon as she entered, she noticed a change: the shop was clean and tidy inside and out, all the furniture was made of sour branch wood, bedding cloth and kitchen utensils were readily available, and there were a lot of rice, vegetables, and meat in the cellar, as well as several large baskets of charcoal.
The preparation method of this charcoal is quite complicated, and it is necessary to cut the wood into uniform small pieces in advance, and then put it into a wattle basket colored with red clay after burning the charcoal, so it is called carrot charcoal.
Its advantage is that it is quite resistant to burning, gray and white does not explode, and there is very little smoke when burning, and because it can only be fired with three kinds of wood, Qingxin wood, white jujube wood and dendrobium wood, it will have a faint aroma after burning, although it is slightly inferior to silver silk charcoal, but it is also a rare smokeless charcoal, and ordinary people can't buy it at all.
In addition, the cabinet of baizi for storing traditional Chinese medicine, the Huiyi trough for grinding medicine, the pottery kettle for boiling medicine, and the pulse pillow for diagnosis are also extremely complete, and it is impossible to designate the legacy of the former landlord.
Luo Qianhuai looked at Xing Jiu, and when he saw that her face was taken for granted, he understood whose handwriting it was.
"Childe really has a heart." She said sincerely. With these things, it really saves her a lot of effort, as long as she buys all the medicines and hangs up the plaque, she can open for business.
Luo Qianhuai was in a good mood, so he cooked breakfast himself. The pots and pans were all prepared according to her previous cooking habits, not only woks, frying pans and stewing dings, but also several bronze dyeing stoves that she loved so much before.
She cooked a pot of home-cooked gnocchi soup, mixed eggs, chives and batter, spread a few cakes, made a fungus scrambled egg, cut a smoked sausage, served it hot, and invited Xingjiu to eat together.
Xing Jiu has been poisoned by Mo Gongzi for too long, and the concept of hierarchy is deeply rooted, and he resolutely refuses to share the table with her, but how can Luo Qianhuai continue to promote this bad habit: "What did Gongzi say when he asked you to follow me? ”
"Everything is up to Mrs. Luo, and I will protect you at all costs."
Luo Qianhuai knew that she must have something to hide, and it was impossible to say anything about spying on herself, so she didn't ask more: "Then my first order is to ask you to eat with me every day, without discussion." ”
Xing Jiu was a little grateful, quietly shedding tears while eating, Luo Qianhuai had no choice but to turn her sigh into appetite, not only finished eating what was in his bowl, but also drank all the pimple soup in the pot.
Xing Jiu stopped crying, and looked at Luo Qianhuai's gaze and became weird: "Lady Luo, you eat so much." Aren't you afraid that the change in body shape will affect the Lord's perception?
She wanted to speak and stopped, but Luo Qianhuai didn't care at all: "The weather is already cold, and you can only work hard when you are full."
Luo Qianhuai is telling the truth. Throughout the morning, she took Xing Jiu to run around various pharmacies in Changling, and generally understood the prices of various medicinal materials.
But this is just the retail price, she wants to open her own pharmacy, she must have her own purchase channel, but where is this channel, those pharmacy stores are secretive, and she still needs to explore it herself.
After running all morning, Luo Qianhuai and Xing Jiu found a roadside stall and sat down. The soup at the Hu Kee soup cake stall is made with pork and chicken bones, and the noodles are smooth and strong, but there is no chili oil, which makes her quite regretful.
Luo Qianhuai added some vinegar and ate it in a big gulp. While eating, I wondered if I wanted to ask the previous Chinese Jia Pei, otherwise I would simply find someone to squat at the door of the Rejuvenation Hall, and I would be able to see some doorways sooner or later.
In fact, there is the easiest and most direct way, that is, to find the original uncle. Since he opened a medical center in Changlingyi, he must be clear about all the operations in between.
When I was young, I heard my mother say the name of the pharmacy, which seemed to be called Ji'an Hall. It's just that she was only five years old at that time, and it was not easy to remember the name of the pharmacy, and she didn't know the address of her grandfather's house or anything.
Luo Qianhuai has traveled all over the east and west cities in the past few days, and has never seen such a pharmacy. So where are the original grandfathers and uncles now, whether they have changed their doors or moved elsewhere, everything is possible.
According to Luo Qianhuai's original intention, he actually didn't have a strong desire to find relatives. She is not the original owner, and she has also seen the ruthlessness and shamelessness of her eldest father's family, and instinctively rejects the so-called relatives. And the ignorance of my grandfather's family over the years also shows a lot of problems.
In addition, the presence of Xingjiu also gave her a headache. The lies that have been pulled out may be ganged up as soon as they meet, and they will only add to the trouble when they reach Mo Gongzi, so there is really no need for this.
As soon as she thought of Xingjiu, Luo Qianhuai found that she had no intention of eating, and was using a bamboo chopstick to stir the soup cake with a bowl of noodles, looking like she had something to say.
This girl is good anywhere, but her personality is not cool enough. Luo Qianhuai sighed and asked directly: "I have already said it before, if you have something to say, just say it directly, just the two of us, don't think about it so much." ”
Xing Jiu looked left and right, carefully put down the bamboo chopstick, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Mrs. Luo wants to find a way to enter the medicinal materials, why don't you go and find Zhu Niang?" ”
Luo Qianhuai's eyes lit up. Zhu Niang is really a good candidate, the person who opened the restaurant has always been well-informed, and the three sects and nine streams are all open, the key is that this person is still a subordinate of Mo Gongzi, and he can be regarded as his own colleague, and he should help each other.
A quarter of an hour later, Luo Qianhuai and Xing Jiu returned to Mingyue Tower. Noon was the time to serve customers, and the restaurant business was booming, but Zhu Niang was not there.
Fortunately, Chen Jing, who was in charge of the building, recognized her: "If the shopkeeper is in a hurry, Mrs. Youluo might as well go to the private room to sit for a while and have some refreshments." ”
"It's not urgent." Luo Qianhuai had other things to do, and didn't have time to drink tea and eat snacks here: "Later, I'll come to find Zhu Niang again." ”
The important thing she said was to go to the human market. Since you want to open a medicine shop, you naturally need a medicine boy. To catch medicine, make medicine, boil medicine, and miscellaneous, you need at least two or three people to help, and you must be loyal and honest and responsible to do this business.
Renshi is in the southernmost part of Xishi, but its appearance is far more decent than that of Kangle County. The streets are clean and tidy, and there are no unkempt slaves to be seen on the streets. Several rows of houses on both sides were full of teeth, and at the door stood well-dressed people, greeting them with smiles on their faces.
"The little lady wants to buy someone?" A tooth woman greeted her with a smile, her eyes quietly swept over her and Xingyi's clothes, and her smile immediately became brighter: "It's not Mrs. Lin, I'm boasting, no matter what kind of person you want, we can pick out the one you are satisfied with." ”
