At present, the Niu family's source of income is from selling tea eggs, which is relatively single. However, since the tomb was banned by the Tiger Army, the demand for eggs at the martial arts school has dropped, and the price has returned to the original 70 cents each.
, but the ten eggs that were originally required to be handed in were also waived.
Although white jade eggs taste good, their effectiveness in replenishing qi and blood is not as good as the meat of exotic animals.
It is impossible for martial arts disciples to eat eggs every day. They prefer to save money to buy the meat of exotic animals, so their income is somewhat unstable. When the eggs are good, they are sold out at once, and when the eggs are bad, there are still 40 eggs left.
For example, today, Niu Gen went to the martial arts school in the morning and brought 40 tea eggs, but only sold 30 eggs. The remaining ten were sold for 50 cents, half sold and half given to the Chen family.
shop.
After Chen An's death, Chen Quan and his son continued to run the noodle shop, but their craftsmanship could not compare with Chen An's, and the business was far behind. Fortunately, with the support of white jade eggs, the noodle shop could survive.
Compared with selling eggs, Wang Cuihua now values the drug store she just acquired. After all, in her opinion, eggs are given by others and have no roots, so they are always unreliable. However, the drug store is her own and is a family business that can be passed down.
After Niu Gen and his son learned about the drug store, they were very cautious and began to discuss how to open the drug store.
The first thing to open a pharmacy is to know the medicinal materials, which stumped the Niu family.
"How about we invite someone outside?"
Niu Gen said.
Wang Cuihua thought for a while and said: "It's okay to invite someone. I remember that there is an uncle in Wangjiazhai who knows some medical skills and often goes to the mountains to collect medicines. Why not ask him to come and help us. He knows the basics and is not afraid of him deceiving us."
"Then just do as Cuihua said."
Niu Fugui nodded. The people in Wangjiazhai were still trustworthy. When the time came, he would ask Niu Gen to identify the medicinal materials with his uncle.
"I'll go ask my mother."
Wang Cuihua walked out of the house, found Wang Yang who was making dumplings, and told her about the medicine shop.
"This is a good thing. I will ask your second brother to go back to Wangjiazhai later."
"Why is this so troublesome? I know how to recognize medicinal materials. Anyway, I have nothing to do at home, so why not go to Sanmei Pharmacy to help."
Hu Siniang suddenly said.
Hearing this, the mother and daughter immediately looked over. Wang Yang's face was serious, "Siniang, you can't do this nonsense. Are you telling the truth?"
"Mom, when did I lie to you? Not only can I recognize medicinal materials, but I can also cure diseases."
"That's great, so we don't have to invite outsiders."
Wang Cuihua is overjoyed. Her parents and family have now moved into the county town. Although it is a good thing, they have not found any good livelihood for the time being. Her sister-in-law can go to the drug store to help, and she can also subsidize the family's income, killing two birds with one stone.
After the matter was discussed, everyone no longer thought about making dumplings. They happily took the keys and went to the drug store, leaving Niu Xiaosheng to look after the house alone.
Niu Xiaosheng had no choice but to practice Zhuang Gong in the yard. Although during these days and nights, he spent all his time meditating, the practice of Zhuang Gong did not slow down much, because the stronger the soul, the longer it takes for him to carry Qi and blood, and the body
After the continuous flushing of Qi and blood, he keeps getting stronger, so what he said before about practicing skin training within this year is not empty talk.
As the turtle-snake stance came into play, Niu Xiaosheng's skin quickly turned red, and the blood vessels originally hidden under the skin became prominent one by one, like small snakes clinging to the skin.
Qi and blood flowed rapidly under the push of soul power, driving the blood throughout the body to circulate, and even a slight sound of running water appeared.
Others drive Qi and blood through blood, but Niu Xiaosheng does the opposite. This kind of practice method is extremely rare, if not unique.
After practicing for a long time, the sun was setting and the door of Niu's house was suddenly knocked.
Niu Xiaosheng exited the cultivation state and felt that his whole body was sticky, with a bit of fishy odor, and very uncomfortable. These were all impurities washed out of his body.
Opening the door, there stood outside a green-robed policeman with a long sword across his waist, and a carriage. This was the fourth uncle's private bus, sent to pick up his daughter.
"Come in first, they haven't come back yet."
Niu Xiaosheng let the door open.
The policeman bowed his hand and said very politely, "Thank you young master, but I'd better wait outside."
"what ever."
Niu Xiaosheng closed the door, returned to the yard, fetched a bucket of water, and washed his body clean.
When the sun completely set, Wang Cuihua and the others came back. Everyone's faces were filled with joyful smiles, and they were obviously very satisfied with the drug store. But why didn't the two girls leave yet, and so did the eldest sister-in-law.
So Niu Xiaosheng walked up to Daya and looked at her strangely.
Da Ya looked at the pancake in her hand, then at Niu Xiaosheng, and reluctantly broke off a fingernail-sized piece from it and handed it over, "Here."
Niu Xiaosheng pushed the cake back and said, "Didn't your father send someone to pick you up?"
"I won't go. We have to sleep with Sister Wanwan tonight."
Erya nodded along like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Me too, eldest nephew. My aunt will put you to sleep tonight, are you happy?"
Hu Siniang on the side also smiled and said, her eyes were like a stream that had just melted in spring.
Looking at his eldest sister-in-law's proud figure that could not even be covered by clothes, Niu Xiaosheng expressed her rejection in her heart.
Women would only affect the speed of his cultivation, but he didn't expect that his mouth would betray him at the critical moment.
At night, Niu Xiaosheng had insomnia for the first time since time travel, while Hu Siniang slept soundly.
The morning light shone in from the window. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Niu Xiaosheng found that the other party was more beautiful than before.
In the house on the other side, Wang Cuihua, who woke up early in the morning, took out all the money at home and began to count it.
There were a total of 103 taels, 735 coins, of which 79 taels were from selling eggs. They had to be divided into two parts, and their family only took 40%.
The couple counted in the room for almost half an hour before they figured out the money.
Wang Cuihua was sweating profusely and felt more tired than working.
"No wonder those big families hire accountants. Calculating money is really a tiring job."
Niu Gen only felt that his head was swollen. Neither of them had attended private school. The calculation methods were all based on life experience, so they could only use simple and primitive methods to calculate money.
The family had a simple breakfast, Niu Gen took the tea eggs to Chunni Alley, and the rest of the family followed Wang Cuihua to the medicine shop.
Except that the original plaque of [Gaoji Pharmacy] was taken down, nothing else has changed.
After the drug store opened, customers came to the door soon, and they were all regular customers of the drug store.
When they heard that the drug store had changed owners, those people planned to leave, but when they saw the charming Hu Siniang coming out from behind and asking them if they wanted to buy medicine, they all came back in unison.
