After Zhao Shiwu's leg injury healed, the five people came to say goodbye, and Xu Yin settled their wages for this period.
Everyone declined and refused to accept it. It was a great help that Boss Xu was willing to give them a place to stay even though he knew he was injured by a gunshot.
Xu Yin smiled and said: "This is the income of your own labor, accept it!"
Then he took out a stack of free consultation coupons stamped with the word "expedited" and handed them to the leader, Zhao Shiwu: "If you encounter an emergency in the future, you can use this coupon to see me at Xu's Pharmacy."
"Ah! I know this." Zhao Tianlu whispered, "The free consultation coupons from Xu's Pharmacy! They are so expensive on the black market! It is said that they can't even be purchased for thirty oceans!"
Zhao Shiwu and Deng Chun'en didn't know about this, and they were a little helpless when they heard this. They didn't know whether they should accept it or not.
Xu Yin smiled and stuffed it into their hands: "The black market likes to raise prices blindly. The reason why I can't buy them is not because they are rare, but because I don't send out consultation coupons anymore. If you really want to see a doctor, you can go directly to the pharmacy to get one. That's it." You need to queue up. This is an urgent number for you. If you encounter an emergency, don’t delay. You can come to me no matter how late it is."
Perhaps this promise made Zhao Shiwu regard Xu Yin as a comrade in the same camp.
After that, people came to the pharmacy one after another with expedited consultation coupons. Some asked her to do a consultation, and some asked her to help deliver news.
Xu Yin did not refuse and helped as much as she could.
The three brothers Zhao Tianlu have also become regular customers at the pharmacy. They are still half-grown children in the puberty period. Their prefrontal lobes have not yet fully developed. They live one day at a time. Before, they wanted to be a righteous man like their father. They saw Xu Yin take care of things neatly. The scene of bullets makes me want to become a doctor who practices medicine to save the world.
Xu Yin saw that the three of them were smart and clever, and she did lack a few trustworthy errand boys, so she simply recruited the three of them as apprentices. They would first follow Mr. Wu to identify medicinal materials and memorize soup songs. She would take them with her when she had time. Let the three of them practice.
And Xu's Pharmacy has unknowingly become a contact point where revolutionaries can settle down safely.
But the pharmacy was a bit inconvenient with so many people coming and going. Xu Yin simply took down the pickle shop next door, which was not doing well, and opened it into a bookstore. There were also more than a dozen people upstairs where they could sit down, drink tea and read a book. The borrowing box.
The original intention was to provide convenience to those revolutionaries, but as a result, her bookstore carried many books that were not available in ordinary bookstores. It was deeply loved by literati and the business was booming.
In addition, the mode of borrowing boxes and afternoon tea is refreshing for literati. Often as soon as it opens, the private room upstairs is occupied by a book club, and everyone gathers together to make friends through books.
As a result, Xu Yin couldn't figure out which of them were literati who really loved reading and simply enjoyed the atmosphere of reading, and which of them were revolutionaries who used books to make friends and talk about their ideals...
Forget it, whatever, she is just a bookstore owner who invests money to run a bookstore. While trying not to be cannon fodder, she also wants to make the monuments for future generations as few as possible of the souls of dead heroes and the revolutionary process as free of bloodshed and sacrifice as possible. It is not in vain for her. One person wearing a triangle is busy running around.
The years go by in a hurry, and autumn suddenly comes again.
Five years after traveling to this mission world, the business under Xu Yin’s pseudonym has expanded a lot——
In the first year, there were pharmacies and pharmaceutical factories, in the second year, there were machinery factories (underground arsenals), and bookstores. In the third year, we took over three shops across the street and opened photo studios, theaters, and suit shops one by one. At the end of the year, two chain teahouses were opened in railway stations and docks, and the business was booming.
The amount of information collected through business is so complex that it can almost catch up with the Intelligence Bureau.
She was not sure whether or how effective the news she helped spread was. Anyway, in the past few years, she rarely heard bad news about someone being arrested or being eliminated. In her opinion, it was a good thing!
Except for the profits from the pharmaceutical factory, which were used to invest in the machinery factory, she basically donated all the money earned from other industries anonymously.
The poor people and revolutionaries who received the donations have been secretly looking for this kind man.
But in addition to gold bars and silver dollars, there was only a page of flower paper in the money box. On it were two lines of poems written in small regular script with hairpin flowers - "I have no regrets in this life and will be in a flower garden in the next life." The signature was painted with a flower symbolizing light and Sunflower of hope.
Unknowingly, after the gem flower, people in the city became popular to plant sunflowers.
But this time it was not only Haicheng, but also people in other cities were planting them. Gradually, the sunflowers, which symbolized light and hope, became more and more popular, and even spawned many organizations based on them: Sunflower Club, Sunflower Club, Sunflower Flower mutual aid group...
The authorities took a look and realized that this trend was not right! check! Check it quickly! Is there someone behind this Sunflower who is planning something to harm the government?
But after searching and searching, I couldn't find the source, because there are so many people planting sunflowers. At first, it may have something to do with Xu Yin's donation. Later, everyone followed the trend. When asked why they planted it, they said, "It's popular." "It looks good", "Pray for blessings", "Everyone is planting it"...
The authorities have nothing to do. They can't pull out all the flower growers and kill them. Isn't this just like poking a hornet's nest? One or two bees can easily destroy it. Who the hell can stand a swarm of bees?
If you have the time and energy to trace the source of the sunflower, you might as well expand your sphere of influence.
No one cares about it, and people are planting more diligently. I heard that a pharmacy bought this flower, saying it can be used as medicine. Who doesn’t grow some sunflowers in front of and behind the house besides vegetables? There are even people who specially reclaim wasteland for planting.
The little nuns also planted sunflowers in every corner of the Yaoshi'an Temple. The flower seeds were exchanged with the villagers when they went down the mountain to perform rituals.
This flower is much easier to take care of than the gem flower. It will not die in the heat or the sun. On the contrary, the hotter it is, the more it blooms and the sun shines more brightly. In addition, it can also be used as medicine. The nuns are very fond of planting it, not only in every corner of the nunnery. , I also planted several pots of broken bowls and cracked earthen pots next to each other on the window sill of my house.
Looking at the campuses of pharmaceutical factories and machinery factories, sunflower seeds have been sprinkled by enthusiastic employees wherever the soil is exposed. Pots and pots of sunflower seeds can be seen everywhere on the windowsills, railings, and under the eaves of the employee dormitories. .
When the flowers bloom, the whole factory is filled with the fresh fragrance of sunflowers.
Xu Yin: "..."
I simply don’t know what to say.
If on a whim, he had painted an orchid instead of a sunflower at the signature, wouldn't the whole city have gone to the mountains to dig up wild orchids?
After all, it is much more difficult to save and collect seeds for orchids. Unlike sunflowers, the seeds will be released when the flowers fade. Once they have a bunch of seeds, they can be scattered casually in the soil and they will survive.
It's her fault!
She wiped her sweat and asked the pharmacy to increase its purchase of sunflowers. If they were not used up, they could be sent to the system warehouse. When she had time, she could quietly extract them into essential oils, so it would not be a waste.
"gentlemen!"
As soon as Xu Yin arrived at the pharmaceutical factory, she was stopped by Wu Anping excitedly.
Xu Yin thought he had some new drug ideas, but she didn't expect that he was here to offer a treasure.
"Sir, do you think this pot of sunflowers I raised is the best in the whole factory?"
"..."
"By the way, sir, you said last time that you wanted to set up a labor union, and you also said that all activities in the factory will be organized by the labor union. So, as our first activity after the establishment, can we hold a sunflower selection? Who planted the sun? Whoever has the best flowers will be rewarded.”
Xu Yin had a headache and really wanted to kick him: "Are you very idle? Did the experiment given to you last time come to a conclusion? Or do you have ideas for new drugs?"
Wu Anping hugged the flower and returned to the laboratory in shame to reflect.
A chuckle came from behind Xu Yin.
She looked back and saw that it was Shen Xijin, also holding a pot of flowers in her arms.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to persuade you to hold an event. I'm here to talk to you about something and give you potted flowers by the way."
"..."
If you hadn't seen his magnanimous smile, you would have doubted whether he had seen through her disguise as a man?
