Chapter 171 Full bloom

  —

  Wang Zhuangzhi went to Ancheng to deliver the red fish, and saw that the sun had not yet set, so he stopped by Dazhen.

  Although the pharmacy was not open, Song Dong was alone now, so he was worried and thought about going to have a look.

   Fortunately, I went to see it, otherwise Song Dong would have been doomed.

  Wang Zhuangzhi drove the carriage to the door of the pharmacy, just in time to see a few skinny poles dragging Song Dong away.

"let me go!"

   "That damned uncle of yours has run away, and I will use you, a little bastard, to repay the debt today!"

  Seeing this, Wang Zhuangzhi hurriedly picked up the long wooden stick in the carriage. It was originally used to evacuate the fish in the barrel. It was long and strong, and it was perfect for beating people.

  Wang Zhuangzhisheng was tall and burly, jumped out of the carriage and rushed up with a stick in his hand, knocking down the man who was pulling Song Dong to the ground with the stick.

   "Hey, who dares to hit grandpa!"

  Wang Zhuangzhi stepped forward to help Song Dong up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, just go into the house, Uncle Wang will clean up these bastards."

  When Song Dong saw Uncle Wang, his eyes turned red immediately, and the corner of his mouth was still bruised. He knew he couldn't help, so he nodded and ran into the pharmacy.

   "Who are you? Do you know what happens when you meddle in your own business?"

  A middle-aged man with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes looked at the big man he had never seen before with fear.

  Wang Zhuangzhi twirled the stick in his hand, with a rough face that was not easy to mess with, looked at a few skinny dwarves, pointed at them angrily and said:

"Whoever owes the money to whom, I bought this shop and this boy with real money, who dares to take things from me? I have been a hunter for more than ten years, and I killed a three-hundred-jin wild boar It’s nothing to worry about, I’m afraid you small bodies can’t bear it, I’ll only say this once, if you dare to come to my door next time, you will either be beaten or sent to prison directly.”

  Everyone took half a step back in fright when they heard this, and looked at the bulging tendons on Wang Zhuangzhi's body, and thought that his strong and powerful fist had killed a catty wild boar, and they couldn't help feeling afraid.

   "Since you bought it, forget it, let's go, let's withdraw..."

  A few skinny **** walked away in desperation.

  Song Dong in the pharmacy saw it, wiped the tears from his eyes, and hurried out to ask, "Uncle Wang, why are you here?"

  Wang Zhuangzhi saw that his eyes were red, he must have been frightened by those people just now, he patted the back of his head comfortingly, and said with a smile: "I was going to give fish to others, and I passed by here, so I wanted to see you."

   After finishing speaking, Wang Zhuangzhi heaved a sigh of relief.

   It’s good to come again, otherwise he will be afraid. Since he took Song Dong in, he is responsible for him. If something happens to him, he will definitely feel guilty.

   "Song Dong, why don't you stay home with Uncle Wang for two days, and wait for Uncle Wang to recruit the next janitor, then you can stay here again." Wang Zhuangzhi suggested.

Song Dong was grateful after hearing this, but he didn't want to disturb Uncle Wang's family, so he shook his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, those people were scared by you just now, so they probably wouldn't come looking for trouble, and the pharmacy was messed up." It's a mess and I have to stay and clean it up."

Wang Zhuangzhi didn't force himself when he heard it, because he didn't know the medicinal materials, and he couldn't help with the medicine store. He could only scratch his head in embarrassment, and said, "Uncle Wang doesn't understand medicinal materials, so you can distinguish the medicinal materials. Uncle Wang will help you." Bar."

   "It's okay, Uncle Wang just sit on the side, it's not heavy work, I'll take my time." Song Dong smiled and welcomed people in while talking.

  …

  After another day passed,

  After two days of hard work by the Wang family, the yard of the house was full of herbs, and Wang Zhuangzhi made several trips to move the herbs to the pharmacy.

The gatekeeper couldn't find a suitable person, and Wang Zhuangzhi was worried that Song Dong would live alone, so he recruited a day laborer who carried sandbags during the day and guarded the gate at night. force.

   Those who were looking for trouble never came again.

  After all the medicinal materials are in place, the pharmacy is ready to officially open.

  Since the shop has a new owner, the plaque of the pharmacy should also be changed. Song Dong asked Uncle Wang to give him a new name.

   Ming Wang Zhuangzhi racked his brains to come up with a good medicine.

   In the past, Qiusheng was weak and used to hold a medicine jar in his stool since he was a child. Every time he took the medicine, he frowned because of the bitterness. At that time, Wang Zhuangzhi always said this sentence: good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease.

   Even looking at the pharmacy, Wang Zhuangzhi remembered this sentence.

  The pharmacy is a place to save people and treat diseases. The medicinal materials must be bitter and astringent. I hope everyone can cure their diseases with good medicine.

  Song Dong felt that the implication was particularly good, so he asked someone to make a plaque, and at the bottom he wrote in small characters a sentence that good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease. Wang Zhuangzhi was very satisfied with it.

   On the day of the official opening, Song Dong posted a few notices at the door, saying that any medicinal materials are available, and if necessary, you can make an appointment the day before, and the new owner will drink fire cold soup for free for three days at the beginning of business.

  The main reason is that the medicinal materials dug by Uncle Wang are cleaner than the ones collected in the past. Not only are there no soil clods, but also no weeds.

  He boiled a small pot of herbal tea on fire in the backyard to drink. Unexpectedly, the aroma of herbs attracted many guests, so he let everyone taste it for free, and in exchange they unanimously answered that it was delicious.

   decided to use this method to attract passenger flow.

  Song Dong works in an orderly manner, and is also very careful in handling the books and summarizing medicinal materials.

Wang Zhuangzhi was very relieved of him, but the sitting doctor was a little lazy. After thinking about it, Wang Zhuangzhi discussed with Song Dong and increased the salary of the old doctor by one or two taels of silver. Letters of praise, each letter subsidizes 200 Wen, there is no upper limit.

  There is no one who doesn’t love silver. When this matter is mentioned, the old doctor who used to be a little lazy is not afraid of the sun anymore. He fanned his little cattail fan and sat at the door full of energy and yelled. Not to mention, he really attracted many guests.

  On the opening day, it sold fifty taels of silver. You must know that in the past, the store sold only a dozen taels of silver. Of course, there were more customers on the first day of opening.

  The passenger flow began to decrease on the second day, but the medicine was good, and doctors came here to approve the medicine, and the average daily income was also twenty or thirty taels of silver.

The new shop that has just been built is considered popular in such a small place. Compared with other medicine shops, most of the herbs in the good medicine shop are almost all collected from the mountains by the Wang family. Except for the labor cost, it is easy to sell as much as possible. How much do you earn.

  The pharmacy business is very smooth.

  The sale of Chiyu is not inferior at all, and the business on both sides is in full bloom.

  Shunhe Restaurant's red fish sells very well. The shopkeeper negotiated with Wang Zhuangzhi to order a hundred catties of red fish every three days.

  Rich people eat fresh. Chiyu’s restaurant only provides 30 catties a day, and there is only one per table, and it will be gone when it is sold out.

  Although it can be sold if there are too many, but for these rich people, the less the more rare, the restaurant attracts a lot of people every day, driving other dishes to sell quickly, and the daily income of the restaurant is several times that of the past.
