Chapter 011 What kind of brain does this person have?
As the sky was dawn, Luo Chengxiang came to the warehouse early to help Xia Xiaoshu inspect Chinese herbal medicines.
Manager Mu had already discussed with Luo Chengxiang in advance that he had basically decided what level of medicinal materials for each household to determine. However, in terms of form, Xia Xiao nodded.
When he saw Xia Xiao for the first time, Luo Chengxiang felt that this young man was not much the same as the previous purchasing staff. Luo Chengxiang himself could not say what was different. However, seeing him protecting himself as a "grass wall", placing wood filming in the courtyard, living in a humble room without showing any worries... This person is probably not much simpler.
Therefore, although the young man looked very easy-going on the surface, Luo Chengxiang felt that it would be more appropriate to discuss everything with him.
Considering Xia Xiaoshu's face, Luo Chengxiang suggested that when accepting medicinal materials, he would secretly raise his left thumb. Xia Xiaoshu would purchase the medicinal materials on the hands of the medicinal farmers based on the superior grade standard, and then use the index finger, that is, purchase them according to the sub-optimal grade standard, and the rest of the levels will be analogous according to the natural order of the gesture.
Xia Xiaoshu felt that there was no need for this, so Uncle Luo had to determine the grade of medicinal materials. Anyway, Manager Mu trusted Luo Chengxiang very much.
Luo Chengxiang insisted on doing this, saying that this is for Xia Xiaoshu.
According to Luo Chengxiang's guidance, Xia Xiaoshu opened the door of Warehouse No. 3, and all matters regarding the acceptance of medicinal materials were carried out at the door of the warehouse.
The warehouse door can only be opened to the outside, and Xiaoxia guessed that this design was designed to facilitate the entry and exit of trucks.
A half-crystal wall was built on the left side of the warehouse gate. A small window was opened on the wall, and some blue paint was painted around it. The paint near the window was almost worn out. The cement surface exposed outside had been grinding slightly red. It seems that this warehouse has been a bit old.
Two large and three large scales are placed opposite the small window. The paint on the scale has become mottled, and the weight has been ground so that it can be seen.
Xiao Xia discovered that there was actually a floor scale under the three scales, which was a mechanical old-fashioned floor scale. There was a lot of dust and sand accumulated in the gaps along the scale. If you didn't look closely, it would be difficult to find its boundaries.
"It seems that this medicinal material warehouse is really old. I think this medicine warehouse must have been prosperous back then." Xia Xiao thought to himself several times.
Seeing the notice of purchasing medicinal materials posted by Xia Xiaoshu, the medicinal farmers rushed to tell each other, and everyone gathered in the courtyard early to wait for the new buyers to accept the medicinal materials from each company.
There were so many people suddenly coming to the quiet courtyard, and Xiao Xia was really not very adaptable. In his opinion, the medicinal farmers were all happy and excited just like the festival. This shows that the income from Chinese herbal medicine is the main source of income for these people.
At the beginning, everything went smoothly. Xia Xiaoshu sat there and sang the level of "Wick Red". If the medicinal farmers had no objections, Luo Chengxiang would weigh them with Xiao Xia. Finally, the two sides checked the grades and pounds of the medicinal materials. After everything was correct, Xiao Xia would arrange for the medicinal farmers to sign after the printed form in advance.
According to the practice of "Qibaotang", the medicinal farmers could not get cash at that time. After Xia Xiaoshu called Manager Mu, she would arrange for the company's accountant to transfer the medicinal farmers' income to their accounts one by one.
According to Uncle Luo, Manager Mu usually gives medicinal materials to the pesticide farmers within 24 hours. In this regard, the reputation of "Qibaotang" has always maintained a good reputation.
I was busy, and after more than an hour, the "red wicks" of the scale had piled up into a small hill.
The notice is very clear. Only dry-baked "wick red" will be purchased on the first day, and other Chinese herbal medicine procurement matters will be notified separately.
Xia Xiaoshu compared it repeatedly in his heart and found that the level set by Uncle Luo’s medicine farmers was not very different from the level he simulated and formulated in his heart. Overall, Uncle Luo’s level standards are relatively strict.
On several occasions, Xiao Xia found that the level he had planned in his heart was one level higher than the level that Uncle Luo gestured to imply.
"No wonder Manager Mu trusts Uncle Luo so much. This person is indeed fair in his work." Xia Xiao thought to himself several times.
"Brother Xiaoxia, can you take my house first? Look, I'm tied neatly. You can just scale it and pile it up there. Everyone can save trouble. Besides, my house has a large amount, and if you pile it on it, it will probably press the medicinal materials below." A woman in her early thirties wanted to go to the line.
"Isn't this the female neighbor yesterday?" Xia Xiao thought to himself several times.
"This... isn't it good, how can the order of queues be good and small in quantity? Is it neatly linked?" Xiao Xia also admitted in her heart that the sample brought by the elder sister in front of her was indeed a first-class "wick red".
The stems of the herbs are as thick as chopsticks, evenly up and down, and the yellow and white background is slightly red. It looks like a wide rice noodles, and it is tied even more meticulously. At first glance, it is the kind of work done by someone with extremely skilled skills.
"Then I will discuss with them. If they agree, then I will weigh it first?" After that, before Xia Xiao could reply, the woman had turned around and discussed the matter of going to the lineup with the medicine farmer behind her.
It's strange that the silly aunt behind really agreed.
As soon as the woman waved her hand, several men came up from behind, carrying herbal medicine bags and walked towards the warehouse door.
"Everyone, wait! I don't know how we accepted herbs here before. Now, I am appointed by the company and I am responsible for this matter. Then we have to follow the rules. Those who arrive first will weigh first. Those who come late, please wait. No one can go to the line at will." Xia Xiaoshu said these words in a straightforward manner without any ambiguity.
As the saying goes, if you do something, it is the most difficult to kick the head three feet. Xia Xiaoshu had already thought about it. If the head of the first foot is not good, even if Yugu Village is small, it may be difficult to have its own place to stay.
The woman was originally a famous shrewd person in the village. She was told by intentionally or unintentionally.
Since the "Wick Red" produced by her family is also top-notch, the previous buyers were very polite to her.
Nowadays, Xia Xiaoshu completely disagrees with this account.
"Brother Xiaoxia, you may have misunderstood. Actually, I have good intentions. Have you seen that my herbs are large, so you can take them first. Let's save trouble!" The woman murmured awkwardly.
In front of the villagers, she felt a little unable to get out of Taiwan.
"Your home has a large amount of medicinal materials? Why didn't I see it? May I ask, are all the medicinal materials in your home here?" Xia Xiaoshu asked with a smile.
The woman nodded.
"I guessed that your medicinal herbs are only about 220 kilograms at most. However, the herbs brought by the aunt and the others were at least 310 kilograms. If you follow your theory, it should be weighed first!" Xia Xiaoshu suddenly said a few words.
"I don't believe it!" The woman was a little dissatisfied.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that the "red wick" brought by the woman was obviously larger than the one in the old lady who was queuing up normally in front.
"Or what, let's make a bet?"
"How to bet?"
"If the old lady's medicinal materials are larger than yours, from now on, as long as you are here, you have to line up in a regular manner; if the scale results are the opposite, from now on, when will you come, I will weigh you immediately, how about?"
"That's what you said!"
"A gentleman's words are spoken, and a whip is done!" Xia Xiaoshu responded with a smile.
"Okay! Then let's go through Aunt Wu's herbs first." The woman was having a fight with Xiao Xia.
As a result, when Uncle Luo weighed the total weight of herbs on the aunt's side was 310 and a half kilograms, and the error of Xia Xiao's number was only half a kilogram.
The woman's face suddenly changed a little. She was a smart person. She had already weighed her in private before she came.
No more or less, exactly 220 kilograms.
After the scale, Uncle Luo told everyone that the woman's "red wick" weighs 220 kilograms.
