Chapter 186 Shanzhitang

The time came to 1980, and it had been nearly two years since Wang Zhong came to this dungeon world.

After all, Ma Suqin did not continue to work outside. With the beginning of reform and opening up, although job opportunities outside have gradually increased, the competition has become increasingly fierce.

Moreover, Qiqi's health is not very good, and she often falls ill, but Qiqi is too young to live without people around her.

Ma Suqin's son has already paid 30 yuan a month, and his board and lodging are all at Wang Zhong's house. After more than a year, Ma Suqin has saved 500 yuan.

But Wang Zhong didn't mention it, and Ma Suqin didn't say when she would go out to find a job.

Located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Nanjing has been the capital of several dynasties. It has been a prosperous place and a hub of trade since ancient times.

Although it was only in 1980, it didn't develop as fast as those coastal special economic zones, which changed every day, but it was also changing in an orderly manner.

Not long after the beginning of spring, the weather gradually warmed up, the snow melted, and everything recovered.

In early April, Wang Zhong resigned from the factory.

Although the workshop director and factory leaders tried to persuade him to stay, Wang Zhong persisted.

In the evening, on the dinner table, three dishes and one soup were placed on the table. The dishes were all in large bowls, and the heat was still radiating out. There is no need to continue to eat in the car that Wang Zhong customized for him.

The five children sat around on both sides, and there was an empty seat opposite Wang Zhong, which was specially reserved for Ma Suqin.

"Sister Suqin, sit down quickly, I have something to announce!" Wang Zhong said to Ma Suqin with a smile.

"Yicheng, you sit too!" The bowls and chopsticks were all brought by Yicheng.

Ma Suqin wiped her hands on the apron, and asked, "What's the matter, so grand?"

In front of the five children and Ma Suqin, Wang Zhong smiled calmly and said, "I will officially resign from Yuhong Machinery Factory after I get off work today."

"Ah?" Ma Suqin was stunned by the sudden news, unable to react for a moment.

Yicheng frowned, and asked in disbelief, "Uncle? You really left?"

"I submitted the application half a month ago, today is the last day to go to work, and all the procedures have been completed!" Wang Zhong said.

"Uncle, then will we have nothing to eat in the future?" the foolish Er Qiang asked foolishly.

"You idiot!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yicheng slapped him: "My uncle is now a well-known writer in the magazine, and the monthly manuscript fee is more than ten times his salary."

Ever since Wang Zhong contributed to the magazine, the family's living standard has been steadily rising.

When I followed Qiao Zuwang in the past, I could see the meat star once a month, and that was burning incense.

But since they ate with Wang Zhong every day, they could eat meat once a week at the beginning, and then gradually developed to eating meat once every two or three days.

There is basically no shortage of peach cakes, toffee, and various seasonal fruits at home.

Not to mention Qiqi, just the first four little ones have undergone tremendous changes in just over a year.

Especially the two little girls Sanli and Simei, my mother left early, and my father is heartless, selfish and only caring about himself, the two little girls are thin and small, just like two small bean sprouts , the kind that almost falls when the wind blows.

But after just over a year of hard work, the shriveled bodies of the two little girls swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the little faces that were originally disheveled also became a little more bloody, and gradually became rounder.

But to say that the biggest change is still 20%. The teenager who was just in the developmental stage, with sufficient nutritional supplements, coupled with Wang Zhong's daily insistence on exercising, his height suddenly jumped by 1.6 More centimeters, [-] meters.

If it grows for another two years, there may be a chance to jump to 1.8 meters.

"It's good to quit my job, and I can still concentrate on writing and creating books at home. It doesn't have to be so hard!"

Watching Wang Zhong go to work in the machinery factory every day, and after returning home at night, he still has to sit at his desk for two or three hours to create. At the end of the day, he basically never saw Wang Zhongyou idle. In the eyes, pain in the heart.

But Wang Zhong shook his head and said: "Writing and creating a book is about inspiration. When the inspiration comes, you can write quickly and write quickly. If your writing is blocked, you can sit at the desk for a whole day. Can't write anything."

After hearing the meaning of Wang Zhong's words, Ma Suqin asked curiously: "Then what are you going to do?"

Like Ma Suqin, the children of Old Qiao's family raised their heads and looked at Wang Zhong curiously, especially Yicheng, who was most concerned.

"Isn't it reform and opening up now! The government also allows self-employed businesses."

"I plan to open a pharmacy to treat bruises, headaches and other minor ailments for the neighbors in the neighborhood. In this way, I will have more freedom in time, and I will not have to be controlled everywhere, and I will have more free time to write books. .”

In fact, if you want to make money, opening a restaurant, or tinkering with real estate, or, as before, simply running a magazine by yourself, these are more profitable than opening a drug store.

But Wang Zhong has gone through so many dungeon worlds, and his obsession with money is no longer as deep as it was at the beginning.

Money is a good thing. If it is gone, life will be difficult, and walking in society will become difficult.

But if there are too many of these things, put them in the bank, they will be a bunch of numbers, just like a house, just enough to live in, buy a few sets, a dozen sets, in addition to storing them, that is, renting them out .

But if you rent out the house and live in it yourself, do you really not mind at all?
"It's not bad to open a pharmacy, my uncle is so good at medicine, he must be able to make money!" Yicheng's frowning brows relaxed, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Have you figured it out?" Ma Suqin looked at Wang Zhong, and asked in a rather serious tone: "It will take a lot of money to open a medicine shop!"

Immediately, his voice changed, and he lowered his voice and said: "Now it is said to be reform and opening up, but who knows if the wind direction will change in the future!"

It's no wonder that Ma Suqin has such an idea, they are all low-level ordinary people, and they can only obey and implement the decisions made by the big shots above.

It is good to talk about it now, to carry out reform and opening up, but what will happen in the future, except for Wang Zhong, who knows.

"Change from day to day is not only one of the most taboo things for those in power, but also one of the most taboo things for a country."

"Right now, the reform and opening up is an unstoppable torrent. In the face of the general trend and the people's will, all ghosts and monsters will be crushed."

"From the time when production was contracted to households, and from the time when several special economic zones were established one after another, the general trend of reform and opening up has become."

Yicheng can understand it, Sanli is also thoughtful, and Erqiang and Simei are the same as Qiqi, as if they have never heard of it.

Although Ma Suqin could understand, she always felt that she couldn't believe it, but what Wang Zhong said was so sure, but she subconsciously wanted to believe it.

For a while, I felt a little conflicted in my heart.

"Uncle, what can we do for you?" Yicheng asked.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "You, just concentrate on studying for me now, and prepare well for the upcoming senior high school entrance examination. I will take care of things about the pharmacy myself. You, don't worry about it."

Although he has Wang Zhong's help, the precocious Yicheng is still the same as in the original book, he likes to worry about everything.

No, this liking should be in quotation marks.

"Uncle, when I get out of school, I will go to the pharmacy to help you!" The second strong will soon enter junior high school, but the elementary school courses, even if they are about to enter junior high school, cannot be compared with junior high schools with many courses.

"You, as long as you don't make trouble for me, I dare not point at you to help me." Wang Zhong joked.

Er Qiang looked aggrieved: "Uncle, when did I make trouble for you?"

Wang Zhong said: "Er Qiang, you are asking the wrong question, you should ask that you didn't make trouble for me that time!"

Er Qiang had a bitter face, his eyes widened, and he looked aggrieved and confused: "Huh?"

"Okay!" Yicheng rubbed Er Qiang's shoulders and said with a smile, "I didn't hear that, my uncle is teasing you!"

"Ah?" Er Qiang glanced at the smiling elder brother, then turned his head to look at Wang Zhong who was smiling secretly, and immediately realized it.

"Uncle, you are so bad!"

As he spoke, he glared at Wang Zhong angrily.

This move directly made Yicheng and his younger siblings laugh, even Ma Suqin was no exception, raised his hand to lightly cover his red lips, and chuckled softly.

Wang Zhong's actions were quick, the place was already promising, but there was no opportunity before, and now it has been more than a year since the reform and opening up, especially in Nanjing, which is close to the southeast coast, many general policies are better than most Inland cities are more open.

In just two days, the property right of the small two-story building facing the street in front of Tianshui Lane had already belonged to Wang Zhong.

A small two-story building with a brick and wood structure, and a spacious courtyard at the back. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was a small restaurant. Unfortunately, the previous owner was not up to date. After returning to the shop, it was peaceful at first, but recently I don't know why Yes, he suddenly said that he was going to the deep city, but he suffered from lack of capital, so he almost decided on the idea of ​​this shop left by the ancestors.

I happened to meet Wang Zhong, a generous buyer, and bought it for 600 yuan.

After completing the formalities, the original owner took the money and couldn't wait to go to Shencheng.

The house is neither too big nor too small,

The first floor and the second floor add up to more than 300 square meters.

In front of the first floor is the pharmacy, and inside is where Wang Zhong sits.

There are two rooms and a small hall on the second floor, where the previous owners lived.

Wang Zhong temporarily used one of them as a warehouse for storing medicinal materials, and the other as a rest room.

Make a bed and bedding, whether it is a usual lunch break or an overnight stay.

As for the name of the clinic, Wang Zhong had already thought of it, and it was called Shanzhitang.

But if you want to open a medical clinic, in addition to the necessary medical skills, the purchase channel is also the top priority.

All kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, Chinese patent medicines, and commonly used ones are indispensable.

Moreover, Wang Zhong currently intends to focus on bruises.

To cure bruises, of course medicinal wine and plaster are indispensable.

The medicinal wine is soaked by oneself, and the plaster is also mixed and boiled by oneself.

After knowing that his master was going to open a medical clinic, Xiang Beibei also took the initiative to ask Ying to take over the distribution of medicinal materials.

And the speed is very fast, there is no need for Wang Zhong to go out to look for it himself, the supplier will come to the door by himself, saving Wang Zhong who doesn't know how many things.

On April 23, Shanzhitang officially opened.

Wang Zhong asked Yicheng to buy firecrackers and set them off. The banners were gone, and the wine was not on display.

The shop is near Tianshui Lane, and after walking more than 200 steps in the direction of Zhulu, you will find Shanzhitang.

The neighbors in the neighborhood saw that Wang Zhong opened a medical clinic at a young age, and they couldn't believe it. After all, in their eyes, Wang Zhong was the one they watched and grew up. Don't talk about the ability to see a doctor.

As soon as the medical center opened, Wang Zhong was free. Except for the neighbors who came to congratulate him at the beginning, there was not even a single person who came to see a doctor.

Yicheng, Erqiang, and Sanli have to go to school during the day, but Simei is still young and can only stay at home. Old Qiao's house is empty, and Simei is bored and scared by herself.

It happened that Ma Suqin stayed at home with Qiqi all day long and had nothing to do, so she took Qiqi and Simei to Wang Zhong's clinic to take care of them.

Ma Suqin also worked as a receptionist and cashier.

Seeing that there was not a single patient in the medical center, Wang Zhongren leisurely taught Simei how to read and write in the back room every day.

Not in a hurry, Ma Suqin was worried.

"Xiao Zhong, are you really not in a hurry?" It has been several days since the opening, and there is no business, so Ma Suqin began to sweat for Wang Zhong.

"It's not good if you don't have any business. Everyone is in good health, free from disease and disaster. That's not much better than the birds at my door." Wang Zhong said with a smile.

In fact, long before the store opened, Wang Zhong had expected it. This is not the time in later generations. If there is any illness or pain, you have to go to the hospital. No matter how bad it is, you have to take medicine anyway.

The current economy has just begun to recover. Although everyone's life has improved, it is by no means an exaggeration, and most people don't care about some minor ailments. There are still some popular methods, such as folk remedies. This is a pass on.

Ma Suqin was a little surprised by Wang Zhong's answer, at first she didn't know how to answer, but then she gave Wang Zhong a sideways look: "You are right no matter what."

She didn't notice at all that her eyes, her attitude, and the way she got along with Wang Zhong were no longer limited to employers and babysitters, nor were they limited to the level of friends.

It's just that, Ma Suqin didn't realize it at all, or she actually discovered it long ago, but she was hypnotizing herself, pretending she didn't discover it, deliberately not pointing it out, and even enjoying the feeling of getting along with Wang Zhong .

It was an ease and comfort that I had never had with any man before.
