Suddenly there was another commotion, and several men and women wearing armbands were seen pushing and shoving Bai Siwen, who had oiled his soles on his feet. The scarf on his head was gone, and his red shoes were full of black footprints. The blue silk skirt was also torn in several holes, and the body was tied tightly in various directions, making it extremely embarrassing.
I heard several men and women scolding me: "You molest a woman and you still want to run away? Go to the police station and tell her clearly."
But Siwen Bai defended: "I just passed by and had a look, I don't know them."
These men and women did not listen to his judgment, and they tied up and took away the Bai family servants who fell to the ground. From a distance, you can still hear Bai Siwen's gradually lowering voice: "I just admire this girl! Admiration! Admiration, do you understand? It's not about in-depth communication... I am Bai Siwen! My ancestors shed blood in Yashan! I Dad did business with Da Song Dynasty! I have bought a lot of Australian goods, you can't do this to me..." Zhuo Yifan was secretly worried, and thought of Li Xiaoliu's words that Kun Thief's police never engaged in "thief blooming", even though Some inquiries can probably be passed by as long as you handle them carefully.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly realized that the female policeman looked familiar. When I thought about it again, I immediately thought: Isn't this the same policewoman who beat up the slave at the door of the inn? Why did she come to Nanbao too?
At that time, he only thought that this woman had a hot temper. Today, seeing that she stepped forward without hesitation and seemed quite chivalrous, he couldn't help but feel a little better in his heart.
Zhuo Yifan slowly found his way to the address mentioned in the letter. Fortunately, there were many road signs here like Dongmen City. He followed the road signs and quickly found "Huang's Medical Shop".
This branch road is relatively deserted. There are not many shops nearby, and the guise of the Huang Family Medical Shop is very conspicuous. Zhuo Yifan walked over slowly and saw that the store was still decorated in an old-fashioned way: there was a wooden counter upon entering, and behind it were rows of medicine drawers. There is also a wooden sign hanging at the door, which reads: Medical institution approved by the People's Committee on Health and the Health Police Department of the National Police. Below it is another line of words: First Class A.
Walking further inside, there is a door curtain - outside the door hangs a sign for the clinic, and below it hangs three more signs. The names of Jiao Gongli, Song Shiying and Zhou Zhongjun made Zhuo Yifan slightly startled.
He knew all three of them, at least on a first-hand basis. However, their names appeared on the sign of the doctor. It's a bit funny. Especially Zhou Zhongjun - what kind of disease can she treat? Don't kill people!
Looking at the two waiters at the counter, they didn't know each other. When he came in, the waiter had already come over to greet him:
"What do you want to buy, sir?"
Zhuo Yifan took a step forward and asked, "Is there any Schisandra chinensis in the store?"
The waiter's expression changed and he lowered his voice: "Yes, I wonder what kind of Schisandra chinensis your guest wants?"
Zhuo Yifan said loudly: "Put Schisandra chinensis in your mouth. It is relaxing and calming. I want Schisandra chinensis that can be used to make wine."
The waiter's face became more solemn and he said solemnly: "There are no Schisandra chinensis shops for making wine at the moment. If you really want to use it, please go to the accounting room and talk to our shopkeeper."
"Okay, let's lead the way."
The counting room is behind the counter, with a small door, which is very hidden. When they walked in, they saw Huang Zhen and Sima Qiudao there. The three of them were all acquaintances, so they didn't greet each other politely. They nodded slightly and sat down.
Huang Zhen coughed: "Since Young Master Zhuo has arrived..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Zhou Zhongjun's voice coming in: "You are so stupid. How many times have I told you that this needle needs to be rinsed first and then soaked in fire wine, but you don't wash it no matter what, just soak it like this! What if? What will the thief do if he finds out?"
Huang Zhen and Sima Qiudao knew that they were scolding Nan Wan'er again. Ever since Zhou Zhongjun also took the exam for a junior acupuncturist's license, she had also openly practiced medicine. Nan Wan'er is not only responsible for cooking and washing, but also adds a lot of chores in the store: it's all about the store. In fact, I will give Zhou Zhongjun a hand.
Zhuo Yifan frowned slightly, and Huang Zhen said: "It doesn't matter. There are many rules here, and it will be very troublesome if you break it..."
Sima Qiu said: "Although this is a shop, it is in public. It is very inappropriate to call the thief directly like that."
Huang Zhen smiled bitterly, and it was obvious that he was also very critical of Zhou Zhongjun.
Just as Zhuo Yifan was about to speak, there was suddenly another crash outside, like the sound of something falling to the ground, and then came Zhou Zhongjun's angry scolding: "I've really made progress since I came out, I learned how to throw things!"
Listening to the noise outside, Nan Wan'er was so anxious that she burst into tears and sobbed: "I didn't fall. If you don't push me, the things won't fall..."
Before the people inside could react, the door curtain was opened with a crash: what came in was a fake girl with long hair tied back by a hairband, and a sparkling gem flower on her temples. , but she was wearing an apple green dress, with a small white lapel that looked very refreshing. The skirt is covered with a long light blue apron.
Zhuo Yifan was startled and wondered why the guy outside was so careless and allowed a fake Kun to barge in directly. After taking a closer look, I realized that this was Zhou Zhongjun.
It has only been more than a month since we separated from Guangzhou. How come this disciple of Master Miejing has become like this? She was completely dressed up like a fake girl with no shame - if the teacher saw it, she would be furious to death.
She didn't say hello when she came in. She just sat down angrily and said, "I can't do this anymore. I want to go back!"
As he spoke, he scolded Kainan Wan'er for all kinds of faults, from being "clumsy" to being "disobedient to discipline" to being "lazy, weak and unwilling to make progress"...he talked about various things for several minutes, looking at her. He looked like he wanted to teach this senior sister a lesson.
When he got to the point where he was getting excited, he saw Zhuo Yifan sitting there too, and he stopped speaking abruptly: "Master Zhuo is here too."
Zhuo Yifan nodded and said with a smile: "I just arrived not long ago." After that, he looked her up and down.
Zhou Zhongjun's face turned slightly red and he smiled humbly: "I just lost my temper and made Mr. Zhuo laugh."
Zhuo Yifan said: "Miss Zhou is outspoken and her words are not gentle, but she is sincere and well-intentioned. We all understand." He changed the subject, "But we are in the dragon's den now, and everyone is hugging each other. I came here with sincerity to report the kindness of the court and relieve the worries of the people. In daily life, harmony is the top priority. Even if there is something wrong, we should still tell it slowly. As the saying goes, haste makes waste, don't hurt the harmony. And Just now the girl used the word "kun thief" in her mouth, and it would be very wrong if anyone heard her."
Sima Qiudao nodded secretly: Mr. Zhuo is still somewhat responsible. If he is a cunning and sophisticated person like Huang Zhen, he will naturally pretend to be deaf and dumb to such domestic affairs within Hengshan. Although Zhuo Yifan's words were tactful, they criticized Zhou Zhongjun. There are big principles and small favors in it. He admonished Zhou Zhongjun and took care of Nan Wan'er. It was very fair and could be called a golden word.
I don't know if these words had an effect or for some other reason. Zhou Zhongjun lost his energy and sat on the chair with his head lowered, his face slightly flushed, looking like a shy child. He whispered: "Master Zhuo is right. I am just too impatient."
Huang Zhen cursed secretly in his heart: Damn, what kind of golden words and good advice are you talking about? I have also said these words, except for rolling my eyes, I am just "humming".
The four of them had their own thoughts, Zhuo Yifan said: "Since Miss Zhou has come in, let's discuss the next step together."
Zhou Zhongjun hurriedly said: "I'm here today. It wouldn't be nice if there were no patients asking. I'll go out for consultation first." After saying that, he stood up and left. Although she is arrogant, she still knows her own priorities: the three men here are the leaders of the operation, how can she participate in the meeting? To say that the Hengshan sect is very ignorant of the rules. She was not unreasonable, but she just felt that it was unnecessary to use it on a "servant" like Nan Wan'er.
Huang Zhen first talked about the recent situation. Ever since he "molested the female manager", although he has always been "steadfast and unyielding" and has not broken through the "last line of defense", he has to deal with You Xiuxu on weekdays, and there is no shortage of flirting with him during this period.
Under You Xiu's "intimate guidance", Huang's pharmacy opened smoothly. The examinations were successfully passed. Jiao Gongli and Song Shiying obtained the bone-setting and massage licenses, while Zhou Zhongjun obtained the acupuncture license. Zhou Zhongjun performed very well in the exam. The teacher who took the exam knew that she could read and write, so he suggested that she get a B diploma and go to Xinlingao to take the exam for a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner's license in a serious manner.
So these three people started practicing medicine here, and the business was really good. The medicines are obtained from Runshitang, and are available as ready-made medicines. However, it is difficult to purchase patent medicines - they are too expensive. They simply concocted some commonly used medicines themselves. Jiao Gongli and Song Shiying had several prescriptions specifically for treating bruises and made them into several pills and ointments. Unexpectedly, it was sold out after it was put on the market - the local economy is dominated by mining, and heavy manual labor has caused many people to suffer from muscle and bone injuries. After the drug was put on the market, the supply exceeded the demand. Not only naturalized people and indigenous people came to buy it, but also ordinary people came to buy it. The Huang family The drug store suddenly became famous, and the medical business also prospered.
One month after the business opened, Huang Zhen checked his accounts, excluding daily expenses and taxes. The net profit shocked him: If this continues, it will take less than half a year to recover the original cost - how can there be such a profitable business in the world? This Lingao is really rich!
Drug stores were a hugely profitable industry in the Ming Dynasty. However, the prerequisite for this huge profit was that you could have enough customers. Generally, poor people could only resign themselves to fate or ask for a pair of ashes to drink when they got sick. They would not spend money to buy medicine from doctors. There are also some medicine shops in the Huashan Sect's properties. Over the years, people in Shanxi and other places have become increasingly poor. The middle-class and wealthy people who can afford medicine have either been killed and bankrupted or fled to relatively safe large counties. The business of medicine shops has gone from bad to worse, and some places have become unsustainable. Went down. (To be continued.
