.But I really don’t accept it here. You’d better go to the Wang Family Medical Center in the west end of the town and have a look!”
"Is that so?" Zhu Qing was a little disappointed, but she still thanked him politely: "Thank you for your advice, old man."
"It doesn't matter." The old man waved his hand.
Looking at Zhu Qing's thin back as she turned away, and the fresh dirt on her shoes, the old man finally felt some compassion: "Hey, girl, wait a minute. Well, you can go to the medical center and tell them
Just tell me that the Liang Family Pharmacy asked you to deliver it to me. Maybe they will accept it for my sake. Generally, pharmacies and hospitals have regular people who deliver medicine. Things like yours are piecemeal.
People are not willing to accept medicinal materials."
"Hey, thank you, old man!" Zhu Qing was overjoyed. Compared to the people in Doctor Qian's family, this old man is really nice.
She took out a large handful of needles from the bag and put them on the counter in front of the old man, blushing slightly: "Here, I just pulled out this needle. It's not worth much. Here it is for you to chew and play with!"
"
The old man looked at those needles and couldn't help but laugh: "You girl! This is indeed a good thing. It's rare that chewing is really good for people. Thank you!"
Zhuqing was a little embarrassed and said, "I still want to thank you!" and turned around and went out.
It was getting late, and she had to sell the herbs quickly. It would take an hour before she could go back, and it would be dark.
She didn't know if the public security in this town was good or not. The sooner she went back, the better.
Ping'an Town is not a big town compared to the entire Changshan County. There is only one east-west and one north-south street in the entire town. The intersection of the two streets is the most prosperous and lively area in the town. From Ping'an Town to Changshan County
The official road also passes through the town here.
Now Zhuqing is in a small alley at the east end of the town. To get to the medical clinic at the west end of the town, he has to go through another town.
Although the town is not big, it still takes a while for her to walk on two feet.
When Zhu Qing walked to the Wang Family Medical Clinic, he found that the medical clinic was also deserted.
"Squeak!" She gently pushed open the door of the medical center, but no one came out to greet her.
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone?" She asked loudly several times before a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old walked out.
The young man is tall and thin, like a bamboo pole. His skin is fair, his eyebrows are slender, and his facial features are unremarkable, but together, he is still pretty.
"Are you going to see a doctor?" When the boy saw Zhu Qing, he asked in a voice that was still in the process of changing his voice. His attitude was a little surprised and a little cold.
Zhu Qing shook his head: "No, I was asked by the Liang Family Pharmacy to deliver medicine to you."
Hearing that it was Liang's Pharmacy who asked for the medicine to be delivered, the young man's expression softened a little.
"What medicine?" he asked.
Zhuqing quickly took out the big thistle from behind: "Just picked a fresh thistle."
The young man lowered his head and took out a thistle from the bush, looked at it carefully, smelled it again, nodded and said: "Well, this thistle is good. Now in the medicine market, this thistle costs ten cents a pound, so I will buy it."
How about taking yours according to the market price?"
Ten cents per catty? To sell or not to sell? Zhuqing didn't react at all.
Only then did she remember that something was wrong. She had only thought that she could exchange these thistles for money, but she had no understanding of the market or conditions at all.
Judging from the young man's tone, there should be a medicine market or something. But I don't have time to find out about it at the moment. If you can sell it, just sell it.
Therefore, after a brief hesitation, she nodded readily: "Okay, thank you, brother!"
So the young man conveniently got down and took out the scale, weighed it and paid.
When paying, he said to Zhuqing: "Although your thistle is fresh, the stem is stained with soil. So it can only be calculated as gross weight. I have to deduct some fraction from the net weight. It's fifty-four cents in total. I
I’ll pay you fifty cents.”
Is this guy too shrewd? Zhuqing felt a little unhappy. But she was in a hurry to go back, so she didn't want to argue with him. She nodded in agreement, took the fifty cash he paid, and turned around to leave.
As for the needles, she didn't take out any needles.
This young man is too shrewd, and he may not be willing to accept such a small thing as a needle. Maybe he will accept it as an extra money for nothing. Zhu Qing is not stupid.
But she was quite satisfied with the income of fifty cents today.
But after Zhu Qing turned around and left, the young man showed a satisfied smile: "Country girls are easy to talk to."
While talking to himself, he carried five kilograms of thistles and walked into the house.
"Dad, I got a bargain today. I got five pounds of thistles for fifty cents!" he said proudly to the people in the room.
But the people in the room didn't seem to agree with his approach: "Zhaohui, you are being clever again! Why did you do so randomly when the Liang Family Pharmacy asked you to deliver the medicine?"
The young man didn't take it seriously and said: "That little country girl was introduced by Uncle Liang out of kindness. Uncle Liang is the same. Anyone can recommend it to our family. Our family is not a charity, so it would be good if she is willing to accept her herbs."
If she goes to the Huichun Hall, I'm afraid the waiters won't let her in!"
The people in the room seemed a little displeased when they heard this: "What are you talking about? Without your kindness, Uncle Liang, our hospital would not have been able to survive until now! We must be kind and responsible! Let's help others now.
Well, maybe there will be rewards in the future..."
"What kind of reward can a country girl get? Dad, you are too soft-hearted. Look at how many people Uncle Liang has helped. Isn't his pharmacy so crowded by Huichun Hall that the business is almost gone? If not for us, we still have to buy from him.
Medicine, I think he has closed the shop a long time ago!" The young man replied impatiently.
Obviously, he did not accept his father's theory of being kind.
"You brat, what are you talking about? I won't beat you!" The people in the room were furious.
"You dare to give him a try? Humph, that's what Zhaohui said! If we hadn't supported him, how could Liang Bonian have survived until now? But he still wants to save face and suffer! Look,
If he closes the Liang Family Pharmacy as soon as possible and goes to Huichun Hall to become a ready-made shopkeeper, it will be much better than now! The shopkeeper of Huichun Hall can earn no less than fifty taels a year..."
A sharp female voice suddenly interrupted the people in the room.
"Hey, Zhaohui, this big thistle is pretty good! Fifty cents for it? Well, Zhaohui, you did a good job! As a person, you have to be smart!" A slender middle-aged woman walked in from outside the house and saw it at a glance.
Arriving at the medicinal materials around Wang Chaohui.
