Chapter 88

Sheng Xi nodded: "There is indeed a problem, but it's not a big problem. Don't worry, shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Zhao waited for Sheng Xi to tell her problem, and then heard Sheng Xi say again: "It's just that I can't deliver [-] pills tomorrow, but [-] pills are still available."

"This……"

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I can definitely guarantee the supply of your drug store. I will definitely make up for the remaining five hundred pills on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Then I can just pay and deliver." Sheng Xi said.

She asked before that the drug store would be closed on the first day of the new year and would be open on the second day of the new year.

Shopkeeper Zhao didn't expect Sheng Xi to do this. After pondering for a while with a frown, he nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, but the money for the medicine..."

"You can pay five hundred pills first, and you can pay for the rest when I get the medicine."

Shopkeeper Zhao, who originally wanted to pay later or just pay a deposit: "..."

He squinted his eyes and looked at Sheng Xi to confirm that Sheng Xi was not joking. After a while, he had to agree to Sheng Xi's approach again.

Sheng Xi was very happy that the business was settled, so she pushed the two porcelain bottles to shopkeeper Zhao and waved her hand very generously: "Shopkeeper, this medicine is for you!"

In this way, Shopkeeper Zhao managed a rather confusing business with clear logic.

At Sheng Xi's request, the two parties simply signed an agreement.After she left, Shopkeeper Zhao came to his senses. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. So he turned to ask Old Doctor Yang: "Doctor Yang, do you feel that Mrs. Sheng seems to be trying to gain nothing? No, No, you can’t describe it that way, it’s just, well, how do you put it… In short, that’s pretty much what it means?”

Old Doctor Yang raised his eyelids and glanced at his employer. Thinking of the contest between him and Sheng Xi just now, he really didn't know what to say.So, he simply didn’t say anything.

But his behavior made Shopkeeper Zhao confirm his guess, and for a while he didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment.

Speaking of Sheng Xi, after leaving Shopkeeper Zhao, he turned around and went to another pharmacy.Fortunately, there was some distance between the two families so that Shopkeeper Zhao would not see them.

After calculating the missing medicinal materials at home to make Bupleurum Shugan Pills, she went directly to the drug store to make up for the rest, and also bought a large jar of honey.Fortunately, Sun Qiang and the others had collected a lot before, and everything was evenly distributed, and they were able to get enough of the pill recipe. Only in this way did Sheng Xi dare to do this business.If the shortage of raw materials is too big, even if she makes it, she won't make any money in the end.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but be curious when he saw her buying so many medicines, but since he could make money, he suppressed his curiosity to avoid scaring people away by asking too many questions.

Although there are three people in the family, in fact only one and a half can work.In order to avoid delaying the construction period, Sheng Xi decided to ask Wu Dayong to help make a ball rolling board.

There is no pill making machine here, even a manual one.But this thing cannot be made in a short time, so it is faster to make a ball washing board.However, in order to speed up the process, Sheng Xi decided to modify the simple board, at least adding a sliding roller.

However, although she had a good idea, she didn't know if Wu Dayong could implement it.

Wu Dayong can really do it.As soon as Sheng Xi said it, he understood.

Sheng Xi asked with bright eyes: "Uncle Dayong, how long will it take for you to make something?"

"This, um, I'll do it today. If nothing happens, I can come out tomorrow night."

Tomorrow night is New Year's Eve, which is good. I don't have to ask for things from others on New Year's Day.With the tools, even though it was a day late, the amount Sheng Xi and shopkeeper Zhao mentioned was the amount required to roll pills manually, so it could definitely be done.

Because of this, she got busy as soon as she got home.

Shen An and Zi Zi did it together, but he just couldn't do it as quickly as Sheng Xi.

Sheng Guangyuan also wanted to help at first, but after all, he was young and started to feel sleepy after a while.Sheng Xi directly urged him to wash up and then go to bed.

Sheng Guangyuan didn't want to do it, so she said to him: "I'll do it with your brother-in-law tonight, and you can recharge your batteries. I'll see you show off your skills tomorrow. But if you don't sleep now, you will definitely not be able to get up tomorrow. Just get up." You can't do good things if you're in a trance, don't you think so?"

Sheng Guangyuan thought about it, and then agreed to go to bed.

After coaxing Sheng Guangyuan away, Sheng Xi chatted with Shen Anhe: "Shopkeeper Zhao and his family will definitely not earn too much. Even if he can collect a thousand and six dollars a month, it is only more than seventy taels of silver. After considering the cost and Labor, the income will not be even [-] taels. So I thought, after the New Year, I would go to the county drug store to see if I can open up the market in the county." There are many people in the county and there are three drug stores, even if the demand is the same as that of shopkeeper Zhao , the sum of several houses is too much.

Sheng Xi actually wanted to take over the drug store in the town, but since he still had to get medicine from the store for the time being, he could only push it to the back.

However, before that she had to solve the problem of raw materials.

"After the New Year, let Sun Qiang and the others run further away to see if they can receive more medicinal materials." Sheng Xi thought for a while and said.

Shen Anhe listened to her words and kept moving. He raised his head and asked Sheng Xi, "Have you ever considered cooperating with a drug dealer?"

"Of course there is, it's just..."

Shen Anhe looked at her.

With a long sigh, Sheng Xi's shoulders slumped: "I don't know the pharmacist! Shopkeeper Zhao will definitely not tell me."

It would be best if you know a drug dealer, so you don't have to go to the drug store to buy medicines, and the cost can be reduced a lot.

Shen Anhe's eyes flashed slightly, and he spoke after a moment: "I heard that there is a drug dealer association in Li State. Usually there is a station in every state capital, and occasionally in some counties."

Sheng Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Seriously? That's great! Since it's a drug dealers association, wouldn't there be a lot of drug dealers? The state capital... How long does it take to get to the nearest state capital from our place? arrive?"

Shen Anhe was a little amused and said "grab a lot", but he had already thought of this question, and when she asked, he directly replied: "In two days, the nearest state capital is Yuzhou, which governs Wentong County. We set off at sunrise and it's almost sunset when we arrive in Yuzhou." After a slight pause, he added, "Of course, it's based on the distance traveled by the carriage."

"The carriage, I'm afraid our donkey carriage won't be able to make it in time. Even if it arrives within two days, I'm afraid it will be locked out of the city gate." Sheng Xi shook his head.

Shen Anhe pursed his thin lips and saw that she was still frowning, so he spoke again: "The curfew in Yuzhou should be very late." Therefore, it should be possible to enter the city before the city gate is closed.

"However, you might want to go to Wentong County and ask first. Maybe there is one in the county." Even so, Shen Anhe was not sure.

Just because, even if the Pharmacy Dealers Association wants to set up a site in a county, under normal circumstances, the association would rather choose an upper county than a lower county like Wentong County.
