Chapter 167: Have you ever thought about leaving Chang'an?
In the past two days, Cui Pu has been a little depressed.
The prince of Wei didn't understand. "I said, brother, is it appropriate for you to make this kind of virtue in front of me now? Now you are the object of many people in Chang'an City, your Baicao Hall on Zhuque Street is really making money every day, and even the new medicine in the Xishi Pharmacy every day has been robbed of money every day, you are going to make a fortune! A few days ago, when my father entered the palace, the sage actually asked him about the Mu's Baicao Hall, which shows how powerful your Baicao Hall is now. My dad even used you as an example to teach me a lesson, and I was jealous of you!"
Hearing him say this, Cui Pu couldn't help but sigh faintly: "You only see the glamour and beauty on my surface, how many people can understand the surging dark tide under that face?"
When the prince of Wei heard this, he was stunned.
"Yes. He nodded, "The momentum of your Baicao Hall is also too strong. It's only been a few months, and it's already overwhelmed many time-honored pharmacies in Chang'an City. Such a momentum is gratifying, but it must also offend many people invisibly. Although you now have the Cui family behind you as a guarantor, there are always bold people in this world who will kick you once you are unprepared. You have to look carefully these days. ”
"I understand what you're saying, that's why I'm worried. I didn't expect things to come to this now. I just thought it was ...... I thought this was a shop that could make me a little money to spend, but I never thought that now this one after another will push the shop to the cusp. Things are going so fast that it's completely beyond my expectations, and I'm still confused!" Cui Pu covered his head and shouted.
He just wants to be a gentleman quietly, but why did things turn out like this?
In the backyard, Mu Jiaojiao was smiling and talking calmly with the princess.
Since she saw Mu Jiaojiao, the princess took her hand and didn't let go. "Since I caught you today, then I don't care. What kind of Angong Niuhuang Pill in your shop, you must give me a few pills! Now don't say that my aunt and uncle are urging me and Shizi to ask you for a few pills to put at home in case of emergency, even many relatives and friends on my mother's side have begun to want to follow my path. Although most of them declined, there are always those who can't refuse, not to mention...... I also want to keep a few pills by my side, so I can rest assured. ”
"Okay!" Mu Jiaojiao readily agreed, and asked Hongdou to offer the gift he brought.
"There are ten brocade boxes here, and each box contains four pills of Angong Niuhuang Pill. Although there are not many things in a box, it is best to take them out as a gift. There are forty pills in total, which should be enough, right?"
"Enough, enough!" the princess was dumbfounded. Originally, she only planned to get ten pills from Mu Jiaojiao's hand, but she didn't expect that she would be forty pills as soon as she made a move, which was several times more than her original plan, what was she not satisfied with?
Hurriedly asked someone to move the ten brocade boxes down so that they could be put away, and she couldn't help but smile at Mu Jiaojiao and said: "Now don't everyone outside say that this pill is in demand, and the share in the next year or two has already been booked?
In this New Tang Dynasty, there is still no lack of characteristics of the Celestial Empire. This feature is - cottage.
Since the Angong Niuhuang Pill became popular, all kinds of Niuhuang Pills have sprung up in other pharmacies, and some people shamelessly claim that the effect of this pill is comparable to that of the Angong Niuhuang Pill in the Mu's Baicao Hall, but as a result, they have been mercilessly ridiculed by others.
However, the Angong Niuhuang Pill in the Mu's Baicao Hall was too expensive, and ordinary people couldn't afford it at all. The price of those new bezoar pills is much cheaper, although the medicinal effect is far less than that of Angong bezoar pills, but it is enough for daily treatment. After all, how many people in this world will have a high fever all the time? So these so-called bezoars are also sold well.
When the princess said this, she was deliberately joking.
Mu Jiaojiao smiled when she heard it. "Ten pills a month, that's the amount sold in the shop. But for one's own people, it is extra, not counted. How could the princess not understand this truth?"
"Of course I get it. It's just that you gave me so much in one go, and this shot is too generous! If all these medicines are exchanged for money, it will be a lot!" said the princess happily.
"It's only a few hundred, can you also get into the eyes of the princess?" Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile. As she spoke, she immediately straightened up her face and ordered, "But you must remember that no matter who this medicine is handed over, you must tell them again and again, this medicine can only be taken by adults at most one pill a day, and half a pill for children is at most, and the amount of medicine under the age of six must be halved." The human body is actually very fragile, and it can only restrain so much in a day. If you want to get rid of the disease quickly and take too much in one go, then this medicine will not only not cure the disease, but will also cause poisoning. As for the poisoning of Angong Niuhuang Pill, I have not found a solution until now. ”
"There are diseases in this world that you can't cure?" the princess was surprised when she heard this.
From the beginning to the present, Mu Jiaojiao's performance has always refreshed their perception of her again and again. By now, she almost thought that Mu Jiaojiao was omnipotent. As a result, at this time, she took the initiative to say such a thing, how could the princess believe it?
Mu Jiaojiao smiled helplessly: "There are many mysteries in the human body, and there are thousands of medicinal herbs in this world, and there are still many medicinal materials in the mountains and fields that have not been fully explored. I can only say that I know a little more than many doctors nowadays, and omnipotence is impossible. I'm also human, and naturally there will be things that I don't know. ”
The princess nodded yes again and again, and carefully took her instructions to heart. "Don't worry, I'll tell them what you say. In the future, if anyone really takes too much medicine and has an accident, this absolutely has nothing to do with you. ”
"I naturally believe in the princess, and this explanation is just in case. Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly returned to her smiling face.
After having lunch in the Wei Palace, Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu went home.
On the carriage home, Cui Pu was still pondering. Mu Jiaojiao was also pondering.
"That's right!"
Suddenly, Cui Pu shouted, making Mu Jiaojiao tremble.
"What do you think of again?" she asked in a low voice.
Cui Pu hurriedly looked at her: "I have an idea, can you listen to it?"
"You say. Mu Jiaojiao said.
"You see, now that the development momentum of our Baicao Hall is too strong, it must have become a thorn in the side of many people. It's just that this momentum is caused by the people's will, and we can't avoid it. So I thought, since we have made enough money now, why don't we set a day to give free medicine to the people in Chang'an City on which day of the month. The first is to win over the people, and the second is to scatter some money, so as not to let others see us making money too much. What do you think of this idea?"
"Hengzhu, we don't open a pharmacy for the purpose of profit. If you want to give medicine, then give it away! However, we still have to discuss this matter with my aunt and Uncle Huang. They all nodded, and we got to work. Mu Jiaojiao only thought about it for a moment and nodded.
Cui Pu smiled. "Don't worry! This is a good thing to accumulate virtue, and A-Niang and Uncle Huang will definitely not object. ”
has had a lot of contact with Huang Peiyuan, and he felt that this was a person who was in a relationship, and his relationship with him had become more and more harmonious these days, and he unconsciously followed Mu Jiaojiao to arouse his uncle of the Huang family. Huang Peiyuan was almost scared to death at first, but then he got used to it, and that's it.
Mu Jiaojiao looked at her sparkling eyes, and suddenly blurted out, "Have you ever thought about leaving Chang'an and working elsewhere?"
Cui Pu was stunned. "Leaving Chang'an?"
Mu Jiaojiao's head was bright.
Cui Pu thought about it seriously. "Of course I thought about it. At the beginning, my favorite was Cao Zijian's "White Horse Chapter", when I was about ten years old, I dreamed of being a ranger who roamed around with swords, and was in charge of the injustices of the world. But then I realized that Ranger is not something that everyone can do. At least I don't have the ability to do that. However, although I knew it in my heart, this dream has always been hidden in my heart. ”
"And if you had this opportunity, would you choose to take it?"
Cui Pu frowned slightly. "Grab it?"
Mu Jiaojiao nodded. "It's about leaving everything behind and seizing this opportunity to make your dream come true. Do you dare?"
Cui Pu touched his chin and thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more headache he felt. "That's a big problem. But who in this world doesn't have a dream of being a ranger? If I could, I think everyone would want to try it. It's just that now, I'm no longer the silly boy who loves to daydream at the beginning, and now I'm living a good life here, rich and free, and I'm really more comfortable day by day. Now let me leave all this behind to live a bitter Ranger life, I'm really a little reluctant. But the Ranger...... Hey, it's hard to choose!"
A person was talking to himself for a long time, and he suddenly raised his head: "Why did you suddenly remember to ask me this question?"
"It's nothing, it's just a sudden reminder. I also talked about this with the princess just now, so I asked you casually. Mu Jiaojiao responded indifferently.
"I see? I said, how could you be concerned about this. Cui Pu smiled, "Although this dream is beautiful, I am afraid that this life can only be a beautiful dream lying in my heart." If it's a dream, why bother thinking too much? I'd better go with the flow, anyway, I think I'm having a good time now. ”
"Indeed, just go with the flow. Mu Jiaojiao nodded, and a touch of helplessness flashed in her lowered eyes.
