After noon, when the wind and snow subsided, Second Uncle Chen drove the carriage back the same way, first sent Li Xia home, and then took Li Haitang back to his own house.

"Second Uncle Chen, there is also Huang Ji in Lucheng, help me to see if there is a suitable shop facing the street tomorrow."

Li Haitang wanted to set up a medical clinic, including a pharmacy, and hired a waiter and a doctor. She was not around on weekdays, and the doctor would consult doctors, see some simple ailments, grab medicines, and treat himself as a living.

"Haitang, what kind of shop do you want?"

A few days ago, Uncle Chen heard that the owner wanted to do business, and he agreed with both hands.

After moving to Lucheng for a few days, I bought a field and made a greenhouse, and I went out with a thousand taels of silver, plus I bought a yard before.

"Drugstore, you go and inquire about it, it's better to have ready-made ones."

Li Haitang just wanted to save trouble. The address of the pharmacy was similar to that of the leather bag company. Her medical skills were the real gold standard. In the early days, if she could afford her, she would provide home consultation services.

"Pharmacy?"

Uncle Chen hesitated, his leg was cured by Li Haitang, and she was skilled in medicine and could cure tuberculosis, Uncle Chen firmly believed in it, but there was one thing, opening a pharmacy was a big deal, should I discuss it with Xiao Lingchuan.

In this world, only women from poor families show their faces, and there are no restrictions on doctors, but he really hasn't heard of how many girls are in the city.

They had just arrived in Lucheng, they were unfamiliar with the place, they were afraid of being oppressed by local snakes when doing business, and there was no one in charge at home.

"Second Uncle Chen, feel free to find a shop boldly."

Li Haitang knew the truth in his heart, and the backer would come soon. In a few days, the news that she was invited to the magistrate's back office spread like wildfire, who would come to find fault?

She wasn't afraid to find fault, she wouldn't do porcelain work without the golden diamond, she had her own way to deal with it.

"One thing, when looking for a buddy and a doctor, you must find someone with good character."

Li Haitang repeatedly emphasized that doctors must have the spirit of modesty and prudence, and their temperament must be upright, and they must not follow others' advice and be a fool.

She opened the shop not to earn a lot of money, but to benefit the common people on a larger level.

In Daqi, the level of medical care is low, a cold can easily kill people, and it is not easy for the common people to survive.

It is true that doing other businesses makes money, but nothing can compare to doing business with rich people. Those rich people plunder the common people, counting pennies and pennies, and have a good abacus.

Early the next morning, Second Uncle Chen set off to Huangji Yaxing and asked someone to contact the shop.

It's almost the end of the year, and it's easy to find shops, but there aren't many of them that are medical centers and pharmacies.

Uncle Chen had no idea, the pharmacy was a lucrative business, there was money to be made, and no one was willing to exchange it. Better to find an empty shop and start from scratch.

Li Haitang didn't have too much hope, she was responsible for moving her mouth and running errands to look at the shop, and she didn't have that patience either.

She went out with Uncle Chen, and first went to the largest bookstore in Lucheng.

The bookstore had just opened, and there was no business. The clerk was sleepy and yawning.

Scholars are precious because paper, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are too expensive, and a book can easily cost a few taels of silver, which poor people can afford.

Sir, I have to pay a large amount of Shuxiu to send meat and rice grains during the festivals. Some villagers have a family of more than ten people working hard to support scholars.

"Are there any books on herbs?"

There are two floors above and below the bookstore. After Li Haitang went in, he walked around and read the Four Books and Five Classics, feeling dizzy.

"Yes, yes."

The man became more energetic. Ladies rarely came to the bookstore. There were maids from rich families who came to buy scripts and herbal medicine books. Li Haitang was the first one.

"Little lady, do you want the graphic version or the written version?"

When the business came, the young man was all smiles. The business is not doing well recently. The shopkeeper said that if he can fool the books that are basically dusty, he will give him an extra reward at the end of the month.

The herbal medicine books are all piled up in the corner. They are all purchased by the owner at the market. If he sells it, he will definitely get a reward!

"Is there a graphic version?"

Li Haitang's eyelids twitched. This was beyond her expectation. It was a small surprise. Thinking of this, she said to the clerk, "You can show me all of them!"

"No problem, you sit down and have a cup of tea first."

Seeing that he was a big customer, the young man became even more attentive, poured a cup of tea himself, and led Li Haitang to wait at the table.

After a while, the clerk held a few books and said happily, "Little lady, these are all collected by our master. It is said that they are all family secrets. We are not doctors, so we don't understand. If you want to make a circle, I will give it to you." It's cheaper."

Li Haitang nodded absent-mindedly, opened the atlas, and immediately felt like finding a treasure. Each herb in the herbal medicine atlas is annotated, and its shape is exquisitely drawn, even giving beginners how to identify it.

Li Haitang searched in her mind, and found that the skills she had mastered matched and were more comprehensive.

"How much is this herbal atlas?"

On the surface, Li Haitang frowned and didn't show much enthusiasm. The man tried to figure out what was going on in her heart, and said, "The minimum is twenty taels of silver."

The buddy really didn’t ask for much, he was afraid that Li Haitang would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, “Little lady, these books can be transcribed, if you buy transcribed ones, except the pen, ink, paper and inkstone

The cost only needs to be given another 500 Wen, but for this illustration, a copper plate cannot be less. "

There are at least hundreds of illustrations in the herbal medicine atlas, and people who don't know how to copy them are most likely to have typos. Moreover, he can't find anyone who can draw pictures here.

The rest of the books on basic herbal medicine, compared with the illustrated version, can only be said to be so-so, twenty taels of silver, and buying the herbal medicine atlas is really a treasure.

"Do you have any travel notes and story books?"

There are no recreational activities on weekdays. After dark, Li Haitang stays alone in the vacant room, lonely as snow, and has no idea what to do to pass the time.

"Yes, yes!"

The buddy introduced them one by one, the story book was the latest one, and the best-selling "The Strange Case of Two Phoenixes", he proudly said, "In the whole Lucheng, except for our shop, no one else has it!"

"Two of the same."

Li Haitang chose two novels about romance, wit and beauty, and was immediately startled by the hypocritical style of writing.

One day, an official's daughter was swinging inside the wall, and a scholar passed by outside the wall. The lady's veil was blown outside the wall, and the scholar picked it up and returned it.

Miss Scholar loves three lives, but she has no choice but to be in the wrong family, her family objected, and she was beaten with a stick.

Several years later, the scholar was named on the gold list, and the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became, so he used his power to bring in the married lady as a concubine.

From then on, the two loved each other and grew old together. Li Haitang looked at the beginning and the end, and almost laughed so hard that her stomach hurts. Mary Su's **** drama is the most suitable for adjusting her life.
