The excitement has finished, and the people around him gradually dispersed.
The elixir shop was so smashed that it was obviously not open for business. The girl who seemed to be the shop owner simply tidied up the shop and then quickly closed the shop door.
The next step was obviously the time to tell the whole story, because Chu Chengwen here was very cooperative and started asking about the situation.
The girl here introduced herself first. The girl's name is Xu Xinyi, and she is indeed the shopkeeper of the Anxin Tang Alchemy Shop.
There were obviously some problems for a girl of this age to be the shopkeeper of a shop. Of course, Chu Chengwen also noticed this, so he asked directly.
Sure enough, the girl's family had just suffered a disaster. The girl's father, who was the mainstay, got into trouble and was killed. Her mother fell ill immediately after hearing about this and is still lying in bed.
The couple had no other children, she was the only daughter, so she had no choice but to be the shopkeeper.
"The character of this classic suffering heroine..." Linton next to him couldn't help but said after hearing this.
"Ahem..." Chu Chengwen couldn't help coughing and wanted to remind him. After all, they were still talking about tragic things.
The girl was obviously not the head of the family before. If the Lingzhou world does not pay attention to the matters of cultivating immortals, the overall society is still somewhat similar to ancient China, so ordinary girls will not go out of their way to show off, but Xu Xinyi's family really has nothing to do.
.
The so-called leakage in the house coincides with the continuous rain, and it is obviously not a rare thing for a few people to add insult to injury during unlucky times.
The person who was scared off by Linton just now was Lianyeyu. She was Ye Rushuang, the daughter of the famous Ye family in Yangcheng. This time she came here just to add insult to injury.
Several of her people said that there was something wrong with the elixirs they bought at the elixir shop. After taking them, their family members' condition did not get better, but got worse, so they came to ask for an explanation.
But people with a little bit of brains also know that this is an excuse, and they are obviously looking for trouble. These people actually came to the store to buy elixirs. Because their father passed away, the elixir shop has almost no business these days, and everyone is obviously not very happy.
I believe that this new shopkeeper, Xu Xinyi, still remembers these people very clearly.
However, you said that the elixir was not taken well and the patient was not seen anywhere. Isn't it obvious that you are looking for trouble?
"So you are being targeted, right?" Linton said casually, and then looked around, "Is this a shabby shop like yours? It shouldn't be, or... your family has some unique elixir recipe.
Category?"
Linton suddenly looked as if he had a strange feeling. Seeing this, Xu Xinyi turned to Linton and explained.
Xu Xinyi is not stupid either. It can be clearly seen that between Linton and Chu Chengwen, Linton should obviously make the decision. Although Chu Chengwen is a better person, he looks at the situation like a servant. Although Linton said before
He was his nephew, but Xu Xinyi felt that the superior-subordinate relationship between the two was still very obvious, so he probably wasn't really an uncle or nephew.
Linton's impression on Xu Xinyi was obviously much more fierce. Xu Xinyi's first reaction when she saw him was that she was a little scared, unlike Chu Chengwen who looked very talkative next to her, so she was obviously much more cautious around Linton.
"No, what she is interested in is the recommended spot in our alchemy shop." Xu Xinyi said.
"Recommendation quota?" Linton looked at Xu Xinyi strangely, "What recommendation quota?"
"The recommended quota for the Alchemist Guild's entrance test." Xu Xinyi replied.
"Huh?" Hearing the name of the Alchemist Guild, Linton was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked a little strangely: "No, there is a quota limit? And why do you have this recommended quota here?"
This was obviously not a secret, but Xu Xinyi was surprised that Linton didn't know about it. Of course, seeing that Linton really didn't know, she gave a brief explanation.
The Alchemist's Guild obviously does not require any recommendation quota when it first joins. Anyone who wants to join the Alchemist's Guild can just go to the guild to take the exam. If you pass, you can join the guild.
However, because the profession of alchemist is really very promising and profitable, you can make money even if you keep your capital, and you can even become a monk if you develop further, so the number of people who want to enter this profession is rapidly increasing.
The Alchemist Guild relied on this wave of dividends to develop rapidly at first. But soon, they couldn't bear it any longer.
You said that a large number of alchemists suddenly appear, and if the alchemist guild cannot guarantee their livelihood, or even there are alchemists who cannot support themselves, it will hurt the overall reputation of their guild.
Therefore, it is imperative to limit the number and select talents.
At first, the Alchemist Guild wanted to take charge of this matter themselves, but soon they themselves also had a headache. There were too many people, which consumed too much of their energy. So I don’t know who came up with a solution, that is
Conduct a primary election and first remove some people who are obviously unsuitable.
So I don’t know when the recommendation quota started to appear, because these recommended people are obviously of some level. It’s impossible for you to recommend people who don’t know anything. Is this causing trouble for their Alchemist Guild?
Obviously no one dares to deliberately cause trouble for the guild.
As for who controls the recommended quotas, the current situation is that most of the elixir shops in the city have recommended quotas, usually for 2-5 people. For example, the Anxin Hall has three recommended quotas.
Most of these alchemy shops themselves purchase goods from the Alchemist Guild. The fate of their shops is basically in the hands of the Alchemist Guild. As long as they run out of stock, these shops will not be able to operate at all. So in fact, although these alchemy shops are not alchemy
It's under the name of the Master's Guild, but it's still considered their store.
As things have developed now, not only alchemists, but also the recommended places for the exam have become extremely valuable.
No joke, the reason why Anxin Tang can continue to operate and maintain profitability is that these three recommended places are the key. Otherwise, according to Xu Xinyi's father's previous operation method, Anxin Tang would have closed down long ago.
Yes, Xu Xinyi and her father are both good people. This shop often provides relief to the poor nearby, and often charges less or no money for medical treatment. Fortunately, there are three quotas in hand. Every year, people come in because of these three quotas.
Crazy showing off to them by stuffing them with money.
"Then since the recommended places are so valuable, how did you keep these three places before? Your father is very strong?" Linton asked.
"In the past, our family had someone to rely on... The Su family in Yangcheng was our backer." Xu Xinyi said, "But now..."
"Huh?" For some reason, Linton suddenly felt familiar again when he heard the name of his patron.
