Chapter 955 Inquiry about the shop (for book friends in 2017
The letter was handed over to Liu Gui for delivery, and Mr. Zhuang only asked once. Hearing that it was for the magistrate of Tang County, he stopped asking any more questions.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang officially entered the Imperial College, and started the time when they went out to attend classes every day and Shen Zheng came back from school.
Man Bao's life also became regular. Every day, he and Bai Shan and others would take a lucky carriage and set off at midnight. They would arrive at the pharmacy first and then go to the Imperial College.
At noon, sometimes she ate at the drug store, and sometimes she went home to eat. Daji would pick her up at noon every day.
The number of her patients is also increasing. Although it is not as good as the other three doctors, it is not like the situation where other people's patients are lined up in front of their door and there is no one in front of her door.
And she got along more and more harmoniously with shopkeeper Zheng and the three doctors, and the exchange of medical skills became smoother.
The doctors would give Manbao some experience and point out her medical skills, and Manbao would also bring out cases and prescriptions that he and Teacher Mo didn't understand well to discuss with them. When they had questions, they would also write them down.
Then I went home and checked the information with Teacher Mo, and together we thought about giving them some suggestions.
Everyone helped each other, and the atmosphere became more harmonious. Every day when Man Bao entered the pharmacy, the three doctors smiled at her and greeted her warmly.
There was one more shopkeeper Zheng Da among the enthusiastic people today. Shopkeeper Zheng Da gave Man Bao three pieces of paper and said with a smile: "This is the shop you want to inquire about. I have already asked someone to inquire about it for you. I will also send someone to
I asked about the price, and the first part is the price they offered, and the second part is the price I asked the dentist to estimate.”
Man Bao took a look at the content on the paper and was deeply moved when he saw how detailed his inquiry was. "Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Zheng. When my family buys the shop, I will treat you to a big meal."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da laughed and said: "No, no, you are the doctor of our drug store. Originally, settling down and setting up a career should be my concern, but you are not willing to pay for sitting in the hospital, so you are here to place orders in vain. Thank you for this small favor."
I, I am ashamed."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da was now familiar with Man Bao, and he spoke more casually. He asked with a smile, "Do you really not want the sitting fee of our pharmacy? In fact, if you do, you can also learn from Dr. Ding and the others like you are now.
.”
Because Man Bao is also bringing out her knowledge, why are Doctor Ding and the others so enthusiastic about her during this time?
Isn’t it because I can learn a lot from her?
And Man Bao obviously had more things on him than Shopkeeper Zheng Da had expected, and he wanted to keep him even more.
It doesn't matter if you don't want to sign the contract. You can get the money first and cultivate the relationship, and we'll talk about it later.
Manbao refused again. He had already agreed not to accept it, and it would be bad if he repeated it, and his husband would not agree.
But when she took the three pieces of paper again, she felt much better, and decided to wait until the restaurant was settled and treat Shopkeeper Zheng to a slightly more expensive meal.
Man Bao collected the paper, and after returning home at noon, he went to the front yard to find Brother Five and Brother Six.
Recently, they are no longer so anxious to find shops. Instead, they go out to the market every day and ask about the prices of vegetables and meat. Now the vegetables they eat at home are all bought by them from the market early in the morning.
Zhou Lizhong and the other three had fewer things to do. Mr. Zhuang couldn't stand it, so he simply captured them and continued studying.
Every morning, the three of them were forced to study at home, and they were not released until Manbao came back in the afternoon and had to go to class.
Zhou Lizhong and Zhou Liwei have not studied for several years, and they have been dizzy from reading in the past two days. Even Zhou Lijun felt uncomfortable because the articles his husband taught them were so difficult.
Man Bao handed the paper to them and said, "This is what shopkeeper Zheng Da found out. Take a look."
This is what Friday Lang and Saturday Lang were waiting for now. They looked carefully and saw that the price given to their favorite house here was actually 3,200 taels, while Yaren's valuation was 2,800 taels.
Bai Liang was shocked.
Wu Lang couldn't help but exclaimed: "Isn't this a big difference?"
Zhou Lang was not very happy, "Are you specifically bullying us for being foreigners?"
Man Bao clicked on the mark at the back and said, "It is said that the owner owed a lot of money outside, so he was in a hurry to sell it, which is why the valuation was so low. The location is also average, and the food prices there will not be set too high.
They didn’t make much money when they opened restaurants before.”
Man Bao asked, "Brother Six, do you think you can revitalize this shop?"
Zhou Lang thought about it and said hesitantly: "I, I don't know how the business is there. I went to see it recently and there are not many customers in that restaurant."
"How's the business at the nearby restaurant?"
"It's okay, but the housing prices here are too high and far inferior to those in our county."
Wuwulang crossed his legs and started thinking, and said: "The location of that street is quite good. Behind the wall is the inner city, about thirty feet away from the square gate. There are many shops on the street, and there are many people shopping.
, just because the food in the restaurants on that street is mediocre, so everyone habitually goes to the next street to eat."
Wu Wulang said: "I thought, Lao Liu's craftsmanship is no worse than that of other restaurants. It will definitely be difficult to make at the beginning, but as time goes by, business will definitely improve slowly."
Wu Lang pointed at the price on the paper and said: "Originally, I didn't really want to buy this shop. It's too expensive. But if I can buy it for 2,800 taels, we will lose money for several months, or even a year and a half."
It’s nothing, we don’t need to hire a bookkeeper, we can do it ourselves, which saves labor costs.”
Zhou Wulang calculated for several people: "I have seen that, except for Lijun, we can all live in the shop, eat and live in the shop, which saves a lot. The shop is also our own, so we don't have to worry about the monthly rent."
Something like that, if you hold on for a year and a half, it should get better."
Saturday Lang also nodded and said: "We have eaten at all the restaurants on that street during this period, and I feel that the food is not as good as what I cook."
Man Bao touched his chin and said, "If you have some good wine, the restaurant will be open."
"Don't think about it," Wu Wulang said: "I asked about the wine in Beijing. Even ordinary sorghum wine is very expensive. We buy it and then sell it out. It's okay if the guests like it. It's a bit profitable. If you don't like it, it's okay.
, all these drinks are in our hands. Good wine is too expensive, we can’t afford it.”
Man Bao said: "We can brew it ourselves."
Friday Lang looked at Saturday Lang.
Zhou Lang said: "I don't know how to make wine, and even my sister-in-law doesn't know how. She only taught me how to make sweet wine. I can make this. Fifth Brother, will you drink it?"
Wu Wulang said angrily: "If you don't drink, that's what women drink."
Manbao said happily: "You all don't know how to make wine, but I can."
Everyone looked at her and asked, "When will you do it?"
"When I read the book, I will tell you what I have learned."
