Shopkeeper Zheng Da ordered from behind: "Don't neglect your studies during this period..."
Zheng Gu went downstairs angrily, and when he arrived in the lobby, he saw a girl standing in front of the medicine cabinet curiously, staring at their medicine cabinet.
Zheng Gu thought she looked familiar, so he stepped forward and asked, "Does the girl want to see a doctor or buy medicine?"
Zhou Lijun turned to look at Zheng Gu. As soon as they met, Zheng Gu recognized her and said with a smile, "Is Miss Zhou looking for Master or Fourth Junior Sister?"
Lijun smiled and said, "Looking for her, I didn't see my sister-in-law in the lobby."
Zheng Gu smiled and said, "Master and Fourth Junior Sister are in the backyard, please." After that, he led Zhou Lijun to the backyard.
The two of them had met before. When Zhouji Restaurant opened last year, shopkeeper Zheng Da brought a large group of people to congratulate him. The two of them had seen each other at that time, and then met a few times, but they were not very familiar with each other.
Zheng Gu led Zhou Lijun to the backyard. Man Bao was taking a test on Zhou Liru's identification of medicinal materials. When he saw Li Jun coming, he was distracted watching Zhou Liru identify the medicinal materials and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhou Lijun followed and watched his sister cleverly identify the medicinal materials. He stood next to his sister-in-law and said, "My fourth uncle sent someone to deliver a letter. My fifth uncle asked me to deliver it to my sister-in-law."
Zhou Lijun looked carefully at the backyard of Jishitang, especially the herbs drying in the dustpan on the shelf, and said with piercing eyes: "And sister-in-law, didn't you say last time that you would teach us how to make rouge and disinfectant when we are free next holiday?"
Is it for sores?"
During the last holiday, Bai Dalang had someone deliver a message to his home. Man Bao entrusted the servants of the Bai family to send back the rouge and anti-sore ointment he had brought from the palace.
Even Fang and Lu got a bottle.
Zhou Lijun and Zhou Liru were both curious, so they picked a little bit and applied it on their faces and hands. Within two days, Zhou Lijun's bottle of anti-sore ointment was in Zhou Lijun's hands.
Although Man Bao said that the materials used in these two bottles of ointment were somewhat expensive, Zhou Lijun felt that the noble ladies in the capital might despise everything, but they could not despise the price.
She was the one who sold them two taels of silver for a flower but only wore it for a day. This ointment only lasted for almost a month for only five taels of silver. Would those noble ladies not use it?
That's right, Zhou Lijun even calculated the price.
Of course, this was also the cost that Manbao had calculated for her to make a large jar of ointment for them.
Zhou Lijun, who has gained a lot of experience with his fourth and fifth uncles in the past two years, knows that when calculating costs, he has to include labor and other bits and pieces.
She felt that it was very hard for the fourth and fifth aunts to make ointments while taking care of the children, so the labor cost increased a lot.
So she not only came to deliver the letter, but also urged my sister-in-law to buy the medicinal materials quickly.
Do it sooner and make money sooner.
Man Bao finally remembered this matter and wrote a prescription to Zheng Gu, asking him to help him get the medicine. Then he opened the fourth brother's letter and read it.
Zhou Lijun had already read it in advance. He sat on a chair nearby and said, "The fourth uncle's letter said that he followed someone to the grassland."
This was the reason why Wu Lang was so anxious to ask her to deliver the letter.
Man Bao scanned the letter at a glance. The letter was rewritten by Datou Zhou Li in great detail. He told Man Bao and the others that after he and his fourth uncle took the porcelain to Xiazhou to take action, they met people from the Baldness Department again, and even touched each other.
When Xiang Mingxue and several people arrived, the people from the Bald Hair Department invited their uncle and nephew to the grassland, saying that the medicinal materials they wanted to buy were more abundant and cheaper on the grassland.
It happened that Xiang Mingxue was also going to the grassland, so he went with them.
The fourth uncle and he thought about it and both felt that with the acquaintance Xiang Mingxue taking them, they could definitely go for a walk on the grassland. Moreover, the weather is hot now, and the grassland would be cooler. Anyway, we are not in a hurry to get these medicinal materials, so
So I left with the people from the Baldness Department.
But they were afraid that they would have to wait at home for a long time, so they wrote a letter and asked someone to bring it back to reassure them.
Datou also quietly told them in the letter that Xiang Mingxue went to the grassland to do business, and he knew several people from the grassland.
Man Bao was no longer worried about them. He folded the letter and said, "I also want to go to the grassland."
Zhou Lijun knew she would say this, "Aunt Four will definitely be worried."
She glanced outside, stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, should I go see your apprentice to get some medicine?"
"What's so cool about taking medicine?"
It doesn’t look good to take medicine, but it looks good if you can use the medicine to make money-making ointments.
Zhou Lijun ran out. She also wanted to discuss with Jishitang. If she often bought medicinal materials from them, could it be cheaper for her.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da happened to be there, and the two of them were leaning on the counter, waiting for Zheng Gu to grab the medicine, while chatting. Shopkeeper Zheng Da was very interested in Zhou Lijun's arrival, no, it should be said that he was very interested in the prescription in his son's hand.
"What kind of prescription is this?"
Zhou Lijun didn't take any precautions and said with a smile: "It's the rouge and sore-removing ointment that my sister-in-law just came up with. The color is good when people use it."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da remembered the plaster prescription given by Zhou Man that was selling well. His eyes brightened, he looked at the amount of medicine his son had taken and asked with a smile, "Why, your family wants to make it and sell it yourself?"
Zhou Lijun said: "Let's do it for fun."
"Since Dr. Zhou is here, we can definitely make it." Storekeeper Zheng Da smiled and said: "Once it is made, it must be sold. You see the people coming and going in my drug store, why not put it on consignment?
how?"
Zhou Lijun's eyes flashed and he asked with a smile, "Why don't Shopkeeper Zheng ask my sister-in-law?"
Shopkeeper Zheng Da said: "Your sister-in-law doesn't care much about this kind of thing. When it comes to business, it's better to talk it over clearly."
Zhou Man didn't care much about this kind of thing. If he mentioned it, she could give him the recipe with a wave of her hand and ask him to source the medicinal materials and then sell them and give her a share...
Of course, this is not bad, but just because it is so good, this favor is another debt, which is not good for the future relationship between the two parties.
Moreover, Shopkeeper Zheng is not easy to mention, but it is different for Zhou Lijun.
He knew that all the accounts of the Zhou family were in the hands of this little girl. Last time we went to have a housewarming dinner, she remembered the gift.
He just likes to talk about medical skills with doctors and business with businessmen.
As for Zhou Man, forget it. He would rather wait until Zhou Lang returns to Beijing to talk about it, than ask Zhou Man to do this business in a daze at this time.
That person Zhou Man, no matter how much you take advantage of her now, you will definitely have to let her take back double the amount in the future, otherwise she will definitely have more good things in her hands that you will regret.
Therefore, it is better to be clear when discussing business. Zhou Lijun seems to be a clear person.
Of course Zhou Lijun knew it, and her calculations were already being made in her mind.
So, while Zheng Gu was grasping the medicine, Zhou Lijun had already negotiated with shopkeeper Zheng Da about the consignment method, and even negotiated a discount for purchasing medicinal materials in the future.
Zheng Gu watched them going back and forth. He couldn't help but look at his father and then at Zhou Lijun. He shook his head and then turned around to continue grabbing medicine.
When Man Bao came out, the two of them were satisfied with the negotiation. Zheng Gu tied up the wrapped medicinal materials and put them on the counter for Zhou Lijun.
Zhou Lijun took out the money from his wallet to settle the bill, then happily left with Manbao carrying the medicinal materials.
"So happy?"
Zhou Lijun nodded, and then said: "Sister-in-law, shopkeeper Zheng Da gave me another 10% discount on the medicinal materials for your sake."
Man Bao was surprised, "He won't lose money, right?"
Zhou Lijun said: "No, I have seen the purchasing price of some medicinal materials from my fourth uncle. Although he looked pained, he definitely did not lose money."
Man Bao felt relieved, "Just bargain hard if you don't lose. This is your ability."
