Bai Ling doesn't like design. When she has enough money, what she wants to do most is to inherit her grandfather's legacy, promote traditional Chinese medicine and jewelry design as a hobby.
Thinking of the grandfather who had taken care of him for more than ten years but could not see him for the last time, Bai Ling couldn't help but look a little gloomy.
Shopkeeper Shen didn't know why Bai Ling suddenly became sad. He was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions. He held the door closed for Bai Ling when he left.
There were no outsiders around. Bai Ling took a stack of cooked Xuan and put it into the space. Seeing the prepared charcoal pens on the table, he followed his thoughts and drew a portrait of his grandfather. The voice and smile were exactly what his soul was wandering about that day. On this occasion, I saw my grandpa’s smiling face for the last time.
"Grandpa, I can only miss you secretly from now on." Bai Ling looked at the portrait and murmured with tears in his eyes.
When Bai Ling went out with the newly drawn drawings, he still had time to make lunch.
After lunch, Bai Ling took the silver and the slips for jewelry and went to the market to sell fish.
The fish sold by Bai Ling are completely produced in space, and the taste is not to mention, and repeat customers need to make a reservation to buy it, so there is no waste of time.
Bai Liu's health has improved, but she still needs medicine for a while, so Bai Ling went to Tongji Hall.
Following the old rules, after selling some short-term medicinal materials in the space and prescribing a few more medicines, Bai Ling was ready to leave.
"Miss Bai, don't leave yet. Manager Chen said there is news about the medicinal seeds. You wait in the back hall for a while. I think it will take a stick of incense to get Manager Chen back." Afeng handed the medicinal materials to Bai. When he was in spirit, he lowered his voice and said.
"Thank you, brother Afeng." Bai Ling thanked him with a smile and walked quickly towards the backyard.
The medicinal seeds Mr. Chen gave him before were already planted in the space. Later, Bai Ling asked Steward Chen to find some medicinal seeds from various places. The rarer and more precious the better.
In less than a stick of incense, Manager Chen came back and went directly to see Bai Ling.
Although Manager Chen is not the owner of Tongjitang, several generations of the Chen family have been working here, so he certainly has a certain network of contacts.
When he saw Bai Ling, Manager Chen said straight to the point: "I found some medicinal seeds for you, but many of them are rare and not cheap. First of all, unless the seeds can also be used as medicine, no one will Go get that, after all, people who collect herbs are there to make money. In addition, transporting it from various places also requires transportation and horse fees, as well as some human expenses."
Bai Ling nodded obediently and said: "I understand these, please ask Uncle Chen for help. But I don't have much money in hand. I want as much money as Uncle Chen has now. If there is more money, I will ask Uncle Chen to continue collecting." .Just one point, don’t repeat the medicinal seeds that Uncle Chen collects each time, just have as many types as possible.”
Space reproduces quickly, so Bai Ling is not afraid of not being able to produce large quantities of them. The best thing to do now is to save some money.
"This uncle can't guarantee how many kinds he can get you. He can only say that he will try his best. Now I have found less than a hundred kinds for you. The most rare one is ginseng seeds. In a hurry, I only found this area near us. The species in the south will probably give me confirmation in spring." After Manager Chen finished speaking, he asked tentatively: "Girl, how sure are you that you can grow medicinal materials?"
"Even if I try, I can't guarantee it." Bai Ling said modestly.
It may not be possible to grow medicinal materials outside the Northeast because of the natural climate there, but there is no problem in the space.
Manager Chen thought for a while and said to Bai Ling: "Uncle, let me tell you the truth, my boss has been studying the cultivation of medicinal materials. However, over the years, I have spent a lot of money, but I have never really succeeded. Do you want to think about it again?
think?"
"Uncle Chen also knows the situation in my family. If he doesn't find a new way, he will have a hard time in this life. I must try it." Bai Ling said firmly and embarrassedly: "I went to the study to ask about the medicinal materials.
There are almost no books. Can Uncle Chen help me find two? I will pay for them."
"Since you really want to plant it, I won't say anything unpleasant. There are some northern herbal seeds in Zhuangzi. I can take the initiative to get some for you. When the medicine boy is free, he will also copy some books on pharmacology and medicinal materials to deepen his knowledge.
Impression. If you don’t dislike it, I can ask Ah Feng to find a few copies for you, and you don’t have to pay any money.”
Manager Chen knew about Bazhen Tang, so he treated Bai Ling differently and hoped that Bai Ling could successfully plant it.
Maybe if Bai Ling comes up with another recipe, they can show their face in front of the boss in Wufu Town.
Even if they have been doing something in Wufu Town for several lifetimes, no one wants to move up the ladder. It is not only about monetary benefits, but also good for future generations.
"Thank you so much, Uncle Chen." Bai Ling bowed deeply, unable to conceal his joy.
"Don't thank me in a hurry, uncle has conditions." Manager Chen waved his hand.
"Uncle Chen, just say it." Bai Ling had already guessed what Manager Chen would say, but he didn't show it on his face.
"If you succeed in growing medicinal materials, I will not ask you to teach people in Zhuangzi how to grow them, so as not to cut off your financial path. But the medicinal materials you grow must be sold to Tongjitang first." Manager Chen was discussing business.
The way.
"No problem." Bai Ling immediately assured: "Tongjitang is a century-old brand, and the demand for medicine is also large, so naturally it can be used by you."
Manager Chen only said that he would give priority, and Bai Ling was not worried that Tongjitang would not be able to eat such a large amount and would become enemies with him.
"Well, I'll have everything ready for you when you come next time." Manager Chen said cheerfully.
"Okay, I'll come back in a few days. Goodbye, Uncle Chen." Bai Ling smiled and waved her little hand, and left in a happy mood.
The old house won't come here to cause trouble for the time being, and after making so much money today, Bai Ling will naturally not hold on to the money and dare not spend it.
Bai Ling bought some meat, dozens of kilograms of fine grains, and bought toys from the town for the two little guys.
Another half month has passed, and almost everyone in the village has taken the grain to the warehouse, and the firewood from the fields has also been taken to the garden, and is reserved for feeding animals or burning fires at home.
However, the men in the village were free, the women were busy doing needlework, and the children were running around, not feeling the cold weather in October at all.
After Shangguan ate the roasted chestnuts, he asked Bai Ling to wear some snacks every time he taught him how to swim. Naturally, he had to pay extra money.
In order not to make his family suspicious, Bai Ling made some food in the space that was easy to store and carry. When he sold it to Shangguan, he set a very high price.
The things produced by Space are naturally worth the money.
"I have to leave for a while for something. Someone will come here at noon the day after tomorrow. Just pack up all the spare snacks at home and ask him for money." Shangguan looked a little solemn and took the food from Bai Ling without sitting down.
It means, "If I come back next year about swimming, I will come to you."
"Oh, then be careful along the way." Bai Ling looked at the suddenly steady young man, suddenly feeling a little strange and not knowing what to say.
"Then...goodbye." Shangguan looked at Bai Ling with a complicated expression. He didn't know why he had to come over to say goodbye to Bai Ling in person, and wasted half a day on this.
"Bon voyage." Bai Ling waved her little hand and looked at Shangguan with a smile, but she was debating whether to give Shangguan a bottle of spiritual spring water to take with her. (To be continued)
