It was already past midnight when she returned to Yakushian, and she had been so tormented today that she took off her men's clothes and fell asleep.
The next day I was woken up by another argument.
Xu Yin rubbed her eyes with a headache and opened the door and went out: "What's wrong?"
"Host!"
When the trousers-clad nuns saw her, it was as if they were seeing light, and they all saluted and complained: "We were sweeping and repairing, but the sisters-in-law asked us to boil water and help them wash up. But the host just said last night that everyone Everyone has to do their own thing, so the sisters and sisters started to quarrel with us..."
"snort!"
The few sisters and sisters who chose to stay but were unwilling to do so held their heads high and snorted coldly.
The leader, Sister Zhou, said with a sense of resentment: "This has always been like this, why do you want to change it? We are not used to it!"
"You can choose to leave if you are not used to it." Xu Yin glanced at them lightly, "I gave you a chance yesterday, didn't I? If you choose to stay, you have to accept the new rules of the nunnery. The second rule of the nunnery: abide by the rules and precepts. Treat everyone equally. Did you just learn it yesterday and forget it today? Since it’s difficult for you to get rid of your laziness through oral learning, then punish Yexiang for three days! Implement it immediately! "
"..."
The masters and aunts looked at each other, hoping that someone would jump out and protest.
But no one dares to anger the female devil at this time. Now they are all punished. Once who comes forward, the anger will only be directed at her, and Yexiang will only punish her. Isn’t it worth the loss!
Everyone thought so, and finally accepted the punishment with tears in their eyes.
Xu Yin hasn't finished speaking yet: "I forgot something important yesterday. From now on, our nunnery will no longer be divided into master aunts and nuns. You can think of your own dharma name, and you will all be called by the dharma name later. According to When you enter the nunnery, you will be assigned to be a disciple sooner or later."
"We can also have a Dharma name? That's great!"
"I have long wanted to have a nice and meaningful Buddhist name!"
"Thank you for hosting!"
Xu Yin waved her hand: "Go and do your work first! After lunch, we will give everyone the Dharma name in the Zen class."
Her task today is not light either: she has to lead everyone to repair the nunnery.
When I said in front of Yu Yuanyuan that I wanted to repair the golden bodies of Guanyin and Tathagata, it was just a word. I mainly wanted to repair the houses of the little nuns on the ground floor, renovate the huts, and also have the back mountain, which is indeed quite deserted. , such a large mountain forest, if it can be utilized, it will be enough for self-sufficiency.
After that, Xu Yin led a group of female nuns to repair houses, clean the back hill, and open vegetable fields during the day, and at night they disguised themselves as men and went into the city.
After you get your ID card, you don’t have to worry about checking it when you encounter patrol police on the road.
I spent a few nights exploring the alleys of Dahai City, and then started looking for a storefront to open a Western pharmacy.
On this day, she met Da Mao again.
There was a thunderstorm in the afternoon, which delayed the newspaper sales, causing people to still shout on the street after dark.
As usual, Xu Yin bought the newspaper he had left in his hand and asked him to find out which street had the most people and the best shop business.
Da Mao looked at her sympathetically: "Sir, you haven't found your sister yet? You are running out of money, so you want to do some small business? You have come to the right place for me!"
After getting acquainted with him, he lost his initial shyness and started talking about the Chinese Medicine Hall at No. 3 Fu Street. The old Chinese medicine doctor who was treating patients returned to his hometown at the beginning of the year. As a result, there were no doctors in the store to treat patients. People who wanted to take medicine did not know where to go. Nawei, the business has been very sluggish in the past six months, and finally it can't be opened anymore, so it is listed for transfer.
"It's just in front of the street. There are so many people coming and going. It's so lively!" Da Mao pointed her in the direction and paused as if hesitating. "That's it... I heard some rumors. It's said that the old Chinese doctor is... I returned home after being troubled by the clerk of the Western pharmacy diagonally across the street. The clerk of the Western pharmacy was so arrogant that he wished all the people in the city would come to their store to buy medicine. He also told people that the Chinese medicine hall would be closed sooner or later. By then, Their boss will take over the shop and open a branch of the Western Pharmacy. Sir, if you take over the shop, will they give you trouble?"
"Since they want to open a branch at the location of the Chinese Medicine Hall, why didn't they buy the store earlier?" Xu Yin asked.
"I also heard from people that the shopkeeper of the Western pharmacy wants to wait until the price drops lower before selling."
Xu Yin smiled: "But waiting is risky after all. I don't want to wait. Do you know the owner of the Chinese Medicine Hall? Can you take me to him now? I will pay you the agency fee when the matter is done."
Da Mao didn't understand what an agency fee was, but it didn't affect his understanding of the word. It was mostly remuneration. He waved his hands hurriedly: "You can't do it, you can't do it! I can do something for you, sir, and it's too late for Da Mao to be happy!"
Damao happily led Xu Yin to No. 3 Laifu Street.
The shops on Laifu Street are basically two floors, with people living upstairs and shops downstairs.
The owner of No. 3 Lifford Street lives upstairs.
Da Mao saw a light on upstairs from a distance, and when he arrived, he knocked on the door.
After waiting for a short while, the door opened. The shop owner looked a little impatient: "Didn't you see the sign on the door? No more medicine!"
"It's not about buying medicine, it's about buying a shop." Xu Yin took a step forward, took off her hat and nodded in greeting.
When she heard that she was here to buy a shop, the shop owner immediately changed his face and warmly welcomed her into the house.
Even more eager than Xu Yin: "As long as you sincerely want to buy it, the price can be negotiated."
He was also frightened by the western pharmacy diagonally across the street.
I have never seen such a shameless person, spreading around saying that whoever dares to buy this shop will not be able to buy Western medicine in the future.
Who doesn’t know that Western medicine is in short supply these days? Who doesn’t have headaches and fever?
In this case, who would dare to visit the shop? Not to mention buying it! As a result, the price has fallen again and again, and it has not yet found a buyer.
He was so anxious that the blisters at the corners of his mouth never stopped, and the symptoms continued even after taking the medicine.
Is it really going to fall below 100 yuan and be sold to a Western pharmacy at a low price?
Unexpectedly, a buyer came tonight.
Looking at the other party's handsome but unfamiliar face, and speaking a standard Beijing accent, it seemed that he was not a native of Haicheng, so no wonder he came to the door...
In normal times, he would definitely choose the dish and raise the price high. No matter how good the other party was, he didn't know much about the market conditions of Haicheng's shops. Isn’t that how business is done? Who doesn’t want to earn more?
But today is no better than before. With the threat of the Western Pharmacy, he can't wait to close the deal that night. What if the price is too high and the other party runs away? The fat sheep finally came to my door...
Xu Sheep Yin turned around.
She is very satisfied with this shop. It was originally a pharmacy. Although it sells Chinese medicine, the grid cabinets and display cabinets are ready-made. The grid cabinets can still store Chinese medicines, and the display cabinets are also suitable for storing Western medicines.
The two of them almost said in unison:
"You give me a price, and if it suits me, I'll buy (sell) it!"
After saying that, both of them laughed.
The shopkeeper rubbed his hands happily: "Since you are so sincere, I won't beat around the bush."
He quoted the lowest price he had in mind.
"A thousand oceans."
Xu Yin nodded. In the past few days, she had a general understanding of the prices and housing prices in Haicheng. For shops located in the downtown area, the prices were indeed not high.
"I bought it!"
But she didn't have so much money, and she still had money left in the public account to buy bricks and tiles, so she asked if she could trade it with large yellow croaker.
She stocked up on large and small yellow croakers.
The shop owner originally planned to sell out the shop and return to his hometown in the countryside. Of course, it would be okay without the ocean croaker.
Both of them eagerly hoped that the sale would be completed as soon as possible, and they signed the store transfer agreement that night.
