Chapter 1176: The Romantic Girl Paired with Farming in the Republic of China (28)
After Zhao Shiwu's leg injury healed, the five people came to say goodbye, and Xu Yin settled their wages for this period of time.
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 wounded 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 come to Xu's Pharmacy to see me."
"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. They were a little helpless when they heard this and 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 to see Dr. Xu. 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 Zhao Tianlu brothers 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 work one day at a time. Before, they wanted to be a righteous man like their father. After seeing Xu Yin take the medicine with ease, they
The sight 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 Tangtou 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 little inconvenient because of the 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, which was deeply loved by literati, and business was booming.
In addition, the borrowing box and afternoon tea mode are refreshing for literati. Often as soon as it opens, the upstairs box is occupied by a book club, and everyone gathers together to make friends with books.
As a result, Xu Yin couldn't figure out who were the literati who really loved reading and simply enjoyed the atmosphere of reading, and who were the revolutionaries who used books to meet friends and talk about their ideals...
Forget it, whatever, she is just a boss 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 heroes and martyrs, and the revolutionary process involves less bloodshed and sacrifice, which is not in vain.
The person who decorated the triangle was 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 was a pharmacy and a pharmaceutical factory, in the second year there was a machinery factory (underground arsenal), and a bookshop. In the third year, we took over three shops across the street and opened a photo studio, a theater, and a suit shop one by one.
At the end of the year, two chain teahouses were opened at the train station and the wharf, and the business was booming.
The amount of information collected through business is so vast that it can almost catch up with the Intelligence Bureau.
She was not sure whether the information she helped spread had any effect or how much effect it had. 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 revolutionaries have been secretly looking for this kind person from the poor people who received the donations.
But in addition to gold bars and silver coins, there is only a page of flower paper in the money box. On it are two lines of poems written in small regular script with hairpin flowers - "I will enter China with no regrets in this life, and I hope to be a flower grower in the next life." The signature is painted with a flower symbolizing light and
Sunflower of hope.
Unknowingly, after the gem flower, people in the city became popular to plant sunflowers.
However, this time it was not only Haicheng, but also people in other cities were planting it. 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 Mutual Aid Group...
The authorities saw that this momentum was not right! Check it! Check it quickly! See if there is 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 were so many people planting sunflowers. It might have been related to Xu Yin's donation at the beginning, but then everyone started to follow 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 like poking a hornet's nest? One or two bees can kill it casually. Who the hell can stand a swarm of bees?
If you have this 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 the people are planting more diligently. I heard that some pharmacies bought this flower and said 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 to plant them.
The little nuns also planted sunflowers in every corner of Yakushi'an. 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 more it is exposed to the sun, the more beautiful the flowers will be. In addition, it can be used as medicine. The nuns are very fond of planting it, not only in every corner of the nunnery.
, I also used broken bowls and cracked earthen pots on the window sill of the house where I lived to plant several pots next to each other.
Looking at the pharmaceutical factory and the machinery factory, every place with exposed soil has been sprinkled with sunflower seeds by enthusiastic employees. 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 at that time, the signature was not a sunflower but an orchid, wouldn't it mean that the whole city would be digging wild orchids in the mountains now?
After all, it is much more difficult to save seeds for orchids, and it is much more difficult to collect them. Unlike sunflowers, the seeds will be produced when the flowers fade, and they can produce a lot of seeds, which 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 plant?"
"..."
"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 his identity as a woman disguised as a man?
