Chapter 180 Selling Medicines, Buying People
I made up my mind to make a fortune this summer with bitter intestine herbs, but Mulberry leaves were not in a hurry to enter the mountain. There is another more important thing to do now.
On that day, Mangye took some silver liang and put it in close-up, and then put the pills made with bitter intestine grass in a jar of filling sauce, and asked the elder brother to drive a ox cart to take her to the county town.
Sang Shu didn't know what his sister was doing in the city, so she asked casually. Sang Ye didn't hide her plan and explained: "Last time I went to the city, my mother wanted to come back. I thought I couldn't find a suitable person to do it for my mother, so I simply bought a quick-wife to take care of my younger brother. As long as our family held the contract of this woman, she would not dare to bully Huan'er and Xiaoshan to be lazy and neglect them."
After saying that, she patted the jar of the pills and told the second reason: "My brother knows the efficacy of these pills. I plan to send them to Zhirentang to see if Dr. Zhao accepts it. If it is collected, our family will have another additional investment."
The mulberry trees also entered the mountain last time. I knew that the bitter intestine grass grew one by one, and even if the whole family dug it for three days and three nights, it would not be dug. When I thought that so many bitter intestine grass might be exchanged for a lot of money, he urged repeatedly: "Let's go, let's go with you now."
Looking at the elder brother who rushed out of the door anxiously, Sang Ye was a little funny and hurriedly went outside the yard with the pill jar and waited.
Mangshu was anxious and raised the ox cart to the extreme without using a whip to drive the big yellow cow.
After all, the ox cart is a ox cart, and the equipment is much simpler than the horse cart. The yellow ox seems to be bumpy when it is faster. After only halfway through the road, Mangye feels that the bones are almost dispersed.
She rubbed her sore waist, gritted her teeth and said, "If you can earn money with bitter intestine grass, buy another horse and ask your brother-in-law to build a less bumpy carriage for us."
In this era, we can already build a shock-proof carriage. Although it is not as good as the shock-proof technology in the previous life, it still has a great feeling of bumpyness when walking faster, but it is many times better than a ox cart.
Mangshu felt that if there was a ox cart at home, it would be a waste to buy it. So he couldn't help but persuade: "Hors are more expensive than ox carts, and horse carts are more expensive than ox carts. Even if we have money to buy, we still use them less than a few times a year. I think it's better to forget it!"
Originally, I just said it casually, but when I heard my elder brother's words, I strengthened Sang Ye's determination: "Brother, our family will have more and more money in the future. I have thought about it. The money I earned will be used to buy land and buy a house. At that time, renting it out or hiring people will make it, so our family will wait to collect rent and grain. If this is the case, the carriage will come in handy."
After thinking about it carefully, people regard food as the most important thing. No matter when, the fields will always be the last reliance for farmers. Perhaps acre of flower fields can only be achieved if acre of flower fields is produced for ten years, but the grain planted from the fields can fill the stomachs of many people, so flowers will not work.
Now that the family is doing a flower sauce business, the annual income will be better than this year if nothing unexpected happens, and it will be enough for the whole family to spend it. It is useless to save the excess money, so it is better to buy more land.
Although she could invest money elsewhere to earn more money, she knew very well that except for her second brother, the rest of the family was not good at business. She had thought that she would turn her family into a wealthy step by step, but it was more suitable for her to be at ease.
Mulberry is very satisfied with being able to live a meal of big white rice and meat every meal, and there is no long-term goal. Now when I hear my sister's words, my eyes are staring: "Will our family become a landlord and rich?"
Sang Ye asked with a smile: "Is the local owner Laocai good? Every day when you sit at home, the grain can be piled up into mountains."
Mangshu nodded without hesitation, and a sense of excitement appeared on his face: "Okay, okay, the local master is rich, I like the fragrance of the valley all over the house. In the past, after every autumn harvest, I saw many people pulling food to the landlords in Zhou, and I thought that it would be better if our family would do the same."
The Zhou landlord is a large landlord living in Zhoujia Village next door. Nearly half of the fields in Zhoujia Village and the fields of four or five villages extending to the north are all shared by the Zhou landlord. All the land is as many as 300 acres.
Most of these lands were rented to people who had no land or little land by the Zhou landlord. Every autumn harvest, they would just wait to collect rent in the big house. I heard that the granary built by the landlords in Zhou's home was not enough to hold grain. Every year, they had to put new grain in the granary before they were collected into the granary.
Chen Liang was taken to the town and sold it, and it can be said that his life was quite good.
"When our family makes money next year, we will use this money to buy land. Then the second brother will be in charge of the flower field business. Brother, you will be in charge of the land and collect rent. The family's life will definitely get better and better." Sang Ye looked at the elder brother and encouraged him, and had this confidence in the elder brother.
"Okay, just buy land. When your second brother comes back, your eldest brother will definitely learn to settle the score with your second brother." Sang Shu's face turned red with excitement, and he set a learning goal for himself.
Just the day before yesterday, Sang Lin went to the Fang family shop in the city and learned business with a shopkeeper of the Fang family. As for how much you can learn and when you can "get a master", it depends on Sang Lin's own ability.
Sang Ye smiled, feeling happy that his elder brother had such ambition, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The family’s Huashang business must be handed over to the second brother. Now the eldest brother doesn’t care about this, who can guarantee that he will not be psychologically unbalanced in the future? The eldest brother is kind-hearted and is not a material for doing business, so there will be no major problems in managing the field.
In this way, he and his second brother do not interfere with each other and have their own things to do. The two brothers have maintained a balance to some extent, and it is unlikely that they will worry her.
Mangshu didn't know his sister's thoughts longer. He changed his past taciturnity and talked about buying land for a long time along the way, as if the dream of the local owner Lao Cai awakened all his passion.
In this way, the brother and sister were talking enthusiastically about buying land, and did not feel bored on the road, so they soon entered the county town.
After entering the city, Mangshu drove a ox cart to Zhirentang. This time, Dr. Zhao recognized Mangye at a glance. Seeing that there were no boxes or other items on her body, she didn't take it seriously and asked the medicine boy to call the brother and sister to go to the inner room for a while.
Seeing that there were still seven or eight patients waiting to see the doctor and get medicine, Mang Ye was not in a hurry at all, so he took his elder brother to the inner room with the medicine boy to wait with him.
After about half an incense stick, Dr. Zhao finally finished reading the patient he was waiting for and immediately took the time to come to the inner room.
Mang Ye did not talk nonsense, put the second jar on the table and uncovered the lid, grabbed a few pills from it and handed it to Dr. Zhao, and then explained its effect and the results after the experiment.
The two are acquaintances and have a certain understanding of each other. Dr. Zhao believes that Sang Ye will not fool him with a few pills, but he has to verify the effect of the pills himself to be relieved.
So, Dr. Zhao came to the backyard and threw a few pills in the corner where ants often appeared, carefully observing the ant's reaction.
No need to wait, the ants crawling around seemed to encounter an anteater when they threw the pills down, and suddenly fled in panic and disappeared in a short while.
Doctor Zhao was worried and waited on the spot for a while, but he didn't even see an ant leg.
As for another medicine that can treat animals, you need to wait for an opportunity to verify it. You can't catch a dog or cat and beat it to death now, and then force them to take pills.
Back in the inner room, Dr. Zhao asked straight to the point: "Madam Sang, what is this pill? I have never seen such an effective deworming object after several years of practicing medicine."
There is no concealment of mulberry leaves. Anyway, no one in the world except for the bitter intestine grass itself, knows the real name of the bitter intestine grass: "The medicinal material used in this pill is called bitter intestine grass, which I accidentally obtained. If Dr. Zhao is interested, I will make the bitter intestine grass into pills or powder and sell it to you."
As a doctor with medical ethics, Dr. Zhao did not have the businessman's plan or the charity. Seeing Sang Ye say this, he did not ask questions. He pointed to the porcelain jar and said happily: "These pills will be placed here first. If there are still some at Sang's house, it's okay to send them all."
Unexpectedly, selling a pill was so smooth. Sang Ye was overjoyed and said with a smile: "As long as Dr. Zhao is willing to accept it, we can make some even if we don't have it at home."
Next, the two discussed the price of the pills. Given that the preparation of the powder is relatively simple and the effect is better, at the suggestion of mulberry leaves, Dr. Zhao decided to sell it at the cost of the money and give mulberry leaves five cents per money.
One tael is ten coins, and one pound is one hundred coins. That is to say, a pound of medicinal powder can be sold for 500 cents, which is five times higher than the price of flower sauce.
But the flower sauce uses flowers
The weight of the body is that the bitter intestine grass made into medicine powder must be dried before it can be used. Perhaps ten kilograms of fresh bitter intestine grass cannot be made into one kilogram of medicine powder. In comparison, it is not as valuable as the flower sauce. Moreover, small households use medicine powder to deworm, and they use less than two taels in a summer, so on average, they can't spend much money.
Thinking of this, Sang Ye couldn't help but remind Dr. Zhao: "We can make a lot of this kind of anti-worming powder in our family. Can Dr. Zhao really accept all of it?"
When Doctor Zhao heard this, he felt that the other party was good-looking again, so he smiled and said, "You can just send it here, there are not many things to sell here, there can be sold elsewhere."
Located in the humid and hot south, there are countless snakes, insects, rats and ants. Almost every summer, the deworming powder in the clinic will be snatched away, and the effect is not half as good as that of bitter intestine herb. Once the medicinal properties of this medicine are pushed out, there will only be more people buying it.
What Dr. Zhao did not explicitly say is that once the medicine powder is determined to be useful for the animal's injuries, he would have a way to sell the medicine powder to the military camp. There are many war horses in the military camp, and war horses are usually injured, so there is more medicine powder needed. In addition to war horses, livestock vendors also need this medicine powder, and they don't have to worry about not being able to sell it.
Fortunately, Sang Ye didn’t know Doctor Zhao’s plan, otherwise it would be a pity. Such a shrewd person is really a pity to be a doctor!
Farewell to Dr. Zhao, the brother and sister came out of Zhirentang, but did not go to find Mu, and ran to Yashang to see if they could buy a suitable person to replace Mu and take care of Sangyu.
The two of them inquired and finally found a good-rated tooth.
This Yayi surnamed Shen, in addition to doing slave trading, he also does land and house trading. It is said that he has a backer behind him. Otherwise, he would not have been able to make his business so big, and there is a tendency to grow bigger and bigger. The three big shops next to the street are his, and the backyard is the trained slaves who are about to be betrayed.
When business comes, Yaxing’s guy warmly entertains the Sang brothers and sisters. He learned that he wanted to buy an old lady and go back to serve others, and his attitude was better. After all, those who can afford to buy people to serve them these days are not much shorter than that.
If you buy one, you might buy a second one. People who are really good at doing business naturally hope that the business can continue to do it for a long time, and try to become a mature customer as much as possible, and then become an old customer.
It happened that the brother and sister came here, and there were four or five people in the Yashu store meeting their requirements. After being taken to the backyard by the friend, Shen Yayi, who looked lucky, came out to entertain them in person.
"Madam Sang, everyone is here. You can choose slowly. If you are not satisfied, you can let them show off. If you are not satisfied, I will continue to look for you and make sure to satisfy you." Shen Yayi smiled with a gentle look, which made people feel good about it.
Sang Ye was surprised and looked at Shen Yayi unconsciously. She has been in Daqing for several years. It was not that she had met such a polite businessman, but it was the first time she met a businessman who could maintain this politeness when dealing with ordinary people. I have to say that Shen Yayi has too advanced service awareness. No wonder she can make the business so big.
Seeing Sang Ye's surprise, Shen Yayi's expression remained unchanged. It was obviously not the first time he encountered it: "Musicity makes money, and doing business with harmony can bring wealth. Mrs. Sang, please make sure to choose. Even if you don't like it, it doesn't matter if you don't buy it."
Upon hearing this, Sang Ye felt even more fond of this Yaxing and Shen Yayi: "Okay, I'll take a look first. If there is someone you like, I'll tell you."
"Please!" Shen Yayi bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation, leading mulberry leaves to the five women to be chosen.
These five mothers were not old, all between forty and forty-five years old. Originally, this age was the time when their descendants were surrounded and enjoying family life, but they were forced to sell themselves as slaves for various reasons just to get enough food and clothing and not starve to death on the streets.
There are countless poor people in the world. Sang Ye was not interested in understanding their suffering. He circled around the five people without moving expression, and finally pointed out two of the women who were dressed neatly and had no black mud in their fingernails. He asked, "You can do anything about washing, cooking, cooking, and cleaning?"
The two old women who were pointed out said in fear and trepidation: "Yes, we can do it."
Sang Ye nodded and looked at Shen Yayi who was waiting on the side: "These two look good, and it will be difficult to make a decision for a while. Can they go to the kitchen to show their skills?"
Shen Yayi hurriedly said, "Yes, there is a kitchen inside."
Both mothers are tough
Not long after he sold himself, he had no experience in working for the owner. One of the mothers surnamed Hu boldly asked about the taste of mulberry leaves, and also told them about the dishes he was good at cooking, and tried his best to promote himself in front of mulberry leaves.
Sang Ye ignored Mrs. Hu's problem and only asked her to do her own good taste. He also explained this to another taciturn woman named An.
Hu and An knew it well, and soon chose the existing ingredients and began to wash and cut them.
Sang Ye stood at the kitchen door and observed carefully, inadvertently asking them why they sold themselves. Before Hu, An and the others cooked the dishes, they already had a choice of their choice. When the two dishes were ready, she just took the chopsticks and tasted them casually, then pointed at the mother surnamed An and said to Shen Yayi: "It's her!"
A-ma-male An was so excited that she knelt down immediately and kowtowed to Sang Ye: "Thank you, Madam! Thank you, Madam!"
It’s not that A Po Zi is so excited. You have to know that they are too old and do not have much ability. Generally, wealthy families who can afford slaves look down on them. Yass will not take risks in vain and will not sign a real contract with them.
In other words, the Yashang only provides them with temporary accommodation for food and drink. When someone really wants it, they will directly take a commission from the money they sell.
If these mothers were not bought within a month, they would not only leave the Yashu, but also repay the food and food they had in the Yashu for the past month. What awaited them would be the only one who was a wanderer and begging, and even the animals lived in it.
A lady An looks ordinary and even says she is a bit ugly. In addition, she is introverted and doesn't like to talk. She stayed in the tooth shop for almost a month, but no one is willing to buy her. As soon as a month is coming, no one wants her, she has to stay on the streets. Now that Sang Ye is willing to buy her, she is only grateful.
Sang Ye didn't know the reason, but when he saw that An Po Zi had reacted so much, he was scared and then helped the person up in person: "You will be honest in the future, just thank me for your gratitude. If you can't do it well, I will sell you."
"Yes, I understand, I understand." A lady An responded quickly, and her heart became completely at ease.
She has no great ability, and her biggest expectation after coming to Yashang is to find a kind master to do things honestly, and she has no thoughts on her side. The master is willing to help her personally, which means that the master is a kind person, and as long as she is obedient, there will be no trouble.
Seeing this, Sang Ye felt a little satisfied again, so he asked Shen Yayi about Amateur's worth.
