The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 66 Wen’s Drug Store Opens

Gu Yuzhi was listening to his servant's report with great joy at this moment: "Your Highness, the people of Changzhou now know that our Wen family is going to open a medicine store. Today, when I went out to buy something, I was stopped by many people and asked questions."

"Of course the younger ones can't give a definite answer. It's vague. Let them guess by themselves."

Seeing the young boy's beaming expression, he couldn't help but think of the opera singers, whose movements and expressions were very exaggerated. If this young boy went to learn to sing, he might learn very well.

At this moment, he had no idea that someone was plotting against him. Even if he knew, he would just wave his hands and think it didn't matter. Anyway, he was just a child now. He was blocked by Xie Changshi and Guard Qi in front of him, and he had the support of the imperial brother behind him.

Wen's Pharmacy finally opened its doors to the curious and expectant eyes of the people in Changzhou.

Gu Yuzhi was sitting in the box of the restaurant opposite, stepping on the chair, leaning on the window edge with his little hands and looking down. The red silk covered the plaque of Wen's Pharmacy, and firecrackers surrounded it. Shopkeeper Mu and his servant The accountant He kept bowing to the people around him, always with a smile on his face: "Thank you to the folks for your support. In a quarter of an hour, when the auspicious time comes, we will set off firecrackers, unveil the red silk, and Wen's Pharmacy will be officially opened." "

"I would rather hope that the medicinal materials in our pharmacy are gathering dust than that people come to buy medicine! But if you are in need, I hope that everyone can buy medicinal materials that are effective and cheap."

As soon as Shopkeeper Mu finished speaking, there was a burst of applause around him, and some people even clapped.

Gu Yuzhi didn't understand, so he turned to look at Xie Changshi: "Xie Changshi, what does Shopkeeper Mu mean by his words? Why are these people applauding him?"

He felt that shopkeeper Mu was not a good shopkeeper, so how could he say that he wanted the medicinal materials in the pharmacy to accumulate dust.

If no one comes to buy it, he will suffer a huge loss!
Xie Changshi smiled with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, the drug store is a place where people get medicine to treat their illnesses, so what Shopkeeper Mu said is that he hopes everyone will not get sick."

Gu Yuzhi nodded and understood now.

Gu Yuzhi could never forget the scenes he saw at the disaster relief scene last time.

In addition, he hated taking medicine, and for a moment he felt that what shopkeeper Mu said was right: "It would be great if everyone wouldn't get sick."

He puffed up his face and suddenly felt that he shouldn't open a pharmacy.

Xie Changshi was amused by his childish words, but he also understood the hidden meaning behind his childish words: "Your Highness, how can people not get sick if they eat whole grains? If you are sick, you should see a doctor and drink medicine for treatment. Cheap medicinal materials can make you sick. Ordinary people save more money, so Your Highness does not have to doubt that it is a good thing for you to open a pharmacy."

Only then did Gu Yuzhi remember Li Ji Trading Company. He knocked his head and muttered: "It's already the new year. I have to work harder to prevent the people of Mobei from being troubled by snow disasters."

After that big snowstorm, there were several blizzards later. Fortunately, the prefect of Qi organized the refugees to repair their huts early and urged them to go up the mountain to cut firewood. They hugged each other to stay warm on weekdays, and finally survived the three-nine days.

The auspicious time has come, and shopkeeper Mu personally lit the firecrackers. The crackling sound soon resounded throughout the West Street. The people laughed and backed away. The scene was very lively.

Gu Yuzhi covered his ears with his hands and stood on tiptoe to look down. He felt that the firecrackers looked like snakes and sometimes they would twist.

He watched with great enthusiasm, and his mouth would utter exclamations from time to time, as if setting off firecrackers was a particularly new thing.

Xie Changshi and another guard quietly protected him until all the firecrackers exploded, then they took half a step back.

The air was filled with the smell of burned firecrackers, and Gu Yuzhi felt particularly uncomfortable. He lowered his head and pouted several times, as if he wanted to spit out the smell.Shopkeeper Mu outside the window said loudly: "The plaque is unveiled!"

The people around excitedly gathered around and watched as shopkeeper Mu and the accountant took down the plaque. The words "Wen's Pharmacy" shone brightly in the sunlight.

Gu Yuzhi could tell at a glance that the words on the plaque were handwritten by Xie Changshi. Then he suddenly remembered that he had wanted to steal Xie Changshi's calligraphy treasures and sell them...

He stuck out his tongue, it was a sin, but fortunately Xie Changshi didn't know about it, otherwise he would have definitely punished him by copying the Thousand-Character Essay ten times!

The red silk was uncovered, and the drug store was officially opened. The people around gradually dispersed, and soon the street became a little deserted.

Even Gu Yuzhi himself jumped off his chair obediently when the excitement was gone and sat in front of the square table. Xie Changshi pushed open the door and asked the boy to bring the prepared food.

Shu Xiaohan listened to the cries that reappeared outside and couldn't help but said: "Tsk, tsk, if in modern times, the red silk was unveiled, people would rush in to buy it."

It's just that she was severely criticized by Shopkeeper Wen before, and now she doesn't dare to mention anything about the opening event. After all, there are hundreds of years between the two eras.

Shopkeeper Wen heard Shu Xiaohan talk about the opening activities several times in succession, and rolled his eyes: "Teacher Shu, are all of you modern people so rich? Do you give away eggs when you open your business?"

Although the price of eggs is not as good as other meats, they are still meat dishes, and ordinary families don’t usually eat them. If you save up and sell them at the market, you can also exchange them for some meat.

Gu Yuzhi also focused his attention on Teacher Shu. He was particularly curious about the world that Teacher Shu said about taking a high-speed train from Beijing to Changzhou in less than two hours.

If their travel was as convenient and fast as in Teacher Shu's hometown, he would no longer have to worry about vomiting in the carriage...

"What's the point?" Teacher Shu waved his hand and said it was just drizzle. "There are many people there who know how to open chicken farms. There are so many eggs every day that you can't count them. But there are good ones and bad ones."

How can you say that? A chicken is 20 days old, a duck is 30 days old, and a pig is three months old.

This era is backward, but all things that can be imported are truly green products, without any technology or ruthless work.

It's just that she can't taste these original things now.

Teacher Shu, who has lived in a very simple environment since school, was completely unaware that he was being tricked by Shopkeeper Wen.

Shopkeeper Wen nodded and followed Teacher Shu's words: "How can it be a bad thing to eat eggs? That means we don't have many chickens and ducks to raise. Otherwise, I would like to suggest that Your Highness, like you said, be a What opening event?”

"Our business doesn't stop here. With Teacher Shu here, the food harvest in His Highness' fiefdom will definitely be bumper next year, and it will be imperative to open a food bank by then."

Teacher Shu, who is wearing this tall hat, is extremely happy, but he also knows that in this backward era, which depends entirely on the weather, he must not be too full of words...
