Chapter 19: Into the Mountains
Since receiving Xuan Ming Teng, Zhao Gongming posted a new acquisition notice the next day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As a result, the medical hall next door was closed for an unprecedented day, and several townspeople who sought medical treatment were closed.
But from the third day, the patients who came from the clinic next door no longer had the same prescriptions in their hands as they did a few days ago, and there were always several medicinal materials on the prescriptions that could be bought at the Qianjia pharmacy.
It seems that manpower is sometimes exhausted, and after the choice of Xuan Mingteng is missing, Zhao Laolangzhong can't prescribe many symptomatic prescriptions.
Zhao Gongming's method took effect, and the money in the counter was increasing day by day.
Zhao Gongming can always absorb a certain amount of "energy" to promote the growth of "bean sprouts" every day, although the amount is not large, but fortunately, it is a long stream.
And the money shopkeeper has been preparing for entering the mountain for the past few days, and Zhao Gongming watched his shopkeeper prepare drugs to repel snakes and insects.
And he specially smoked a robe with medicine, and the strong smell made Zhao Gongming, who was used to the smell of medicinal herbs, couldn't help but retreat.
The departure date agreed between the lark and the money shopkeeper was soon coming, and this morning, the medicine picking girl with the medicine basket on her back came to the pharmacy in high spirits, and first greeted Zhao Gongming, "Young man, where is your shopkeeper? ”
Zhao Gongming shouted in the backyard, "Master, the person you were waiting for has arrived." ”
I saw the money shopkeeper come out of the backyard dressed neatly, carrying a bag with him, and then walked to the back of the counter, took a few talismans and put them in his arms.
He turned back to his apprentice and said, "I'll go out for a few days and watch the store carefully." ”
walked to the door and glanced at the acquisition notice in front of the door, and said with a smile: "There is not so much money in the store for you to spoil, so you can accept it when you see it." ”
Skylark couldn't understand what was written on the notice, so she asked Zhao Gongming, "Young man, tell me, what kind of medicinal herbs are you going to collect today? ”
Zhao Gongming looked at the medicine picking girl, and then looked at his shopkeeper, so he honestly explained: "Snake saliva fruit." ”
There is only one way for the medicine pickers in the town to enter the mountain, starting from the Qianjia pharmacy, along the only street in the town, out of the west of the town entrance is the place to enter the mountain.
The money shopkeeper and the lark were walking on the street, and the street shops they passed by were all from the Zhao family, and almost all the shopkeepers in the store knew this money shopkeeper who had been in the town for more than ten years.
Many people secretly thought that in the past, the money shopkeeper went out to buy alone, but today he brought a girl out.
I heard that the affairs of the Qian family's pharmacy have been handled by the young man in the store recently, could it be that the old man Qian is ready to retire and enjoy the blessings?
Zhao Fengdeng, the grain store shopkeeper who was more familiar with the money shopkeeper, saw the other party passing by in front of his house, but he didn't mean to enter the store at all, so he couldn't help but walk to the door and greeted: "Money shopkeeper, don't you buy grain today?"
When the money shopkeeper heard this, he replied: "In the future, I will hand over the purchase in the store to Zhao Gongming's kid, and in a few days I will change my apprentice to buy grain, and your family's bucket can be more stable." ”
Zhao Fengdeng had always heard that the young man from the Qian family's pharmacy had begun to take over the daily affairs of the pharmacy, and he thought it was just a rumor.
But now that I heard these words, I really believed that the old man had really handed over his pharmacy to that young man to take care of.
Zhao Fengdeng recalled the age when he began to preside over the affairs of the grain store, and couldn't help but sigh that the old man Qian was really bold, so he handed over all the affairs of the store to a young man, and he was not afraid of ruining the business of the pharmacy.
The two of them successively passed through the Zhao Family Medical Hall, the Zhao Family Grain Store, the Zhao Family Grocery Store, the Zhao Family Leather Shop, the Zhao Family Butcher Shop, and the Zhao Family Cloth Shop.
Everyone had already discovered that the little girl next to the money shopkeeper was dressed as a medicine picker.
As the shopkeeper of a pharmacy, is it difficult to go into the mountains to collect medicine in person?
The news quickly spread to Huairentang, and Zhao Gang, the shopkeeper of Huairentang, showed a cautious look on his face after listening to the news from the guys.
The joke that Zhao Kuo made in the Qian family's pharmacy a few days ago has been spread in the town for a long time, and it also hurt the Zhao family's face.
After Zhao Kuo was assigned to the convoy, many people in the clan thought that there was a vacancy in the medical hall.
But no one expected that Zhao Laolang, who had been raised at home for many years, would return to the mountain to preside over the medical center.
Many people in the clan cursed Zhao Laolang behind his back, being old and not dying is a thief, and he ruined everyone's financial path.
Recently, Zhao Gang has also heard about some of the practices of Zhao Laolangzhong's Qian family pharmacy.
In his opinion, Zhao Laolangzhong's methods are much stronger than his son's, and he only changes a few medicinal materials when prescribing, which makes the Qian family pharmacy unable to speak.
At the same time, as the shopkeeper of Huairentang, Zhao Gang is also happy to see this kind of behavior of increasing his own additional income. If the Qian family pharmacy can't survive and closes down, it is of course the best.
However, Zhao Gang believes that with Zhao Laolangzhong's current means, he will not be able to force the Qian family pharmacy into a desperate situation.
Because as the shopkeeper of Huairentang, he has more understanding than others about the competitors who have stood in Caoxu Town for more than ten years.
At least the shopkeeper of the Qian family pharmacy is an uncontrollable factor, at the beginning of the establishment of the Qian family pharmacy in Caoxu Town, the Zhao family had directly suppressed this shop with a different surname that suddenly appeared, but soon this kind of overt suppression disappeared.
Zhao Gang deduced from some information he heard that the clan had suffered a big loss at the hands of Qian Chuan, the shopkeeper of the Qian family's pharmacy, so he gave up the means of direct suppression, and even the methods that were secretly unseemly did not dare to use it excessively.
And the money shopkeeper didn't care about those small means that were not too excessive, so the Qian family pharmacy established itself in Caoxu Town.
But in the past ten years, Qian Chuan is still out of town for the first time, whether he is going into the mountains to collect medicine, or planning to do something else.
As the only guy in the town who has fought against the Zhao family without falling behind, this kind of abnormal behavior is worthy of the attention of the clan.
At the moment before Zhao Gang got the news that the money shopkeeper had entered the mountain, the news had already spread to the Zhao family's mansion in the town.
When Zhao Pan, the current patriarch of the Zhao family's side branch, heard the news, his face also changed, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to find Zhao Wuyan.
As the patriarch, Zhao Pan is of course more aware of the conflict between the Zhao family and Qian Chuan than Zhao Gang. Because of this, he attaches great importance to this news.
The Qian Family Pharmacy has been doing business in Caoxu Town for more than ten years, and there has been no direct conflict with the Zhao family's Huairentang, and even the Zhao Family Pharmacy and the coffin shop, which were specially arranged around the Qian Family Pharmacy, did not arouse Qian Chuan's disgust.
The other party seemed to be just satisfied with living in peace, and he didn't care about the business of the Qian family's pharmacy, and he looked like he was getting by, which made the Zhao family greatly relieved.
But Zhao Pan did not relax his vigilance, which is why the clan gave up suppressing the Qian family's pharmacy on the surface, because the price required was so great that the family could not accept it.
But the news that came now said that Qian Chuan, who had not left Caoxu Town for more than ten years, suddenly left the town, and it seemed that he was planning to enter the Tiandu Mountain Range, and he was accompanied by just an ordinary medicine picker in the town.
This abnormal performance made Zhao Pan fall into deep thought, and he had to figure out what kind of impact the other party's abnormal behavior would have on the family.
Zhao Wuyan soon arrived in front of Zhao Pan, as the elder in charge of foreign affairs in the clan, he was guessing the reason why the patriarch hastily summoned him.
Could it be that something went wrong with the convoy to the county seat this time, or did something happen to the guards and servants of the clan that alarmed the patriarch?
It is said that he should have learned such news at the first time, or did someone in the clan deliberately target him, conceal some news, and stab him directly in front of the patriarch.
After Zhao Kuo's accident a few days ago, there was a lot of turmoil about the position of the host of the hospital.
Just as Zhao Wuyan was speculating, Zhao Pan didn't ask him anything, but directly ordered: "Wuyan, you arrange a few capable people as soon as possible to follow behind the shopkeeper of the Qian family's pharmacy, he should have just left the town and went to Tiandu Mountain, be careful not to let the other party find out." ”
Zhao Wuyan is no stranger to the shopkeeper of the Qian Family Pharmacy, and even knows a lot about the inside story of the Qian Family Pharmacy being able to gain a foothold in Caoxu Town back then.
Therefore, for the tracking task arranged by the patriarch this time, Zhao Wuyan understood that the risks involved were extremely high.
In his opinion, the danger in the Tiandu Mountain Range and the danger of Qian Chuan were enough to threaten the life of the innate master.
