Silly couple dote on their wives

Chapter 16 Reaching a Contract
"Mother, don't worry." Meng Ruoqing's heart warmed up, and her smile became even brighter under the sunlight.

Yang looked at the two people going away one after the other, and couldn't help curling the corners of her lips. This person looks so good-looking when he smiles, why did he like to keep a straight face in the past?
Naturally, Meng Ruoqing didn't know what was going on in Yang's heart. She and Wei Mingxuan went to the town by the small road. By the time they arrived at the town, it was already [-] noon.

The two of them ate the pancakes that Mrs. Yang baked for them on the way, and they were not hungry at all. There were quite a lot of people in the formal gathering today, so Wei Mingxuan subconsciously protected Meng Ruoqing behind him. The crowd was bustling, but Meng Ruoqing didn't feel crowded.

Huichuntang is a relatively large medicine hall in the town. It is located in the bustling street of the town, so it is not difficult to find. Meng Ruoqing and Wei Mingxuan entered the medicine hall: "My friend, is Dr. Chu there?"

"Who are you? What do you want us Doctor Chu to do?" The clerk of the pharmacy was holding a Chinese medicine and weighing the medicinal ingredients, and when he saw Meng Ruoqing whose clothes were washed white, he asked very rudely.

Throughout the ages, there is no shortage of people who judge people by their appearance, and Meng Ruoqing is not angry, she smiled at the clerk at the counter: "This clerk, we are from Weijiazhuang, and we have picked some herbs at home. Eye."

"Oh, to buy herbs? You wait." The guy was still neither salty nor salty, he glanced at Wei Mingxuan, quickly looked away, and went to the backyard to invite someone.

Doctor Chu came out from the backyard, and immediately saw Wei Mingxuan and Meng Ruoqing: "It's you! I thought you wouldn't come."

"I made an agreement with Dr. Chu earlier, how can I not come! Doctor Chu, can I use these herbs?" Meng Ruoqing smiled, and put the cloth bag on Wei Mingxuan's body on the counter.

"Okay." Through the cloth bag, Dr. Chu could smell the strong scent of medicine, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to open the cloth bag in front of him.

Herbs, Meng Ruoqing, had already been sorted and put away. The cold and hot ones were also marked with paper strips. This was the first time Dr. Chu had seen such a careful herb picker.

"These herbs are of excellent quality. I wonder how much money this girl wants to sell?" Dr. Chu was so happy, and it was the first time that he allowed the herbal pickers to set prices freely.

Meng Ruoqing knew in her heart that although her herbs were of good quality, they were nothing more than ordinary herbs, so she didn't say much: "Doctor Chu, although I know some herbs, but I don't know the market price, please ask Doctor Chu to make a price."

"Bonegrass, fresh fifteen cents a catty, you have dried it, so let's take twenty cents a catty, cocklebur is thirty cents for you, and white scorpion is more expensive, how about seventy cents for you? Doctor Chu liked Meng Ruoqing's neither humble nor overbearing attitude, and said straightforwardly.

"Doctor Chu, is it too expensive?" The guy next to him was a little dissatisfied. The medicinal materials sent by others have never been sold at such a high price!

"Are you the shopkeeper or am I the shopkeeper!" was interrupted, Dr. Chu's gray brows were tightly knit together, he gave the waiter a sideways look, and scolded.

"You are, you are!" Seeing that Dr. Chu was angry, the man didn't dare to say anything more, so he hid aside awkwardly and continued to weigh the herbs.

"Girl, as my guy said, the price I'll give you is relatively high in the industry, but I have a request. I wonder if the girl can agree?" Doctor Chu's face turned pale when he saw the clerk retreating.

Meng Ruoqing nodded and looked at Dr. Chu: "Tell me, Dr. Chu."

"I hope you can always provide herbs for Huichuntang, and I will also give you a list of medicinal materials that Huichuntang lacks, and you will help us collect them, but the quality must be guaranteed, how about it?" Dr. Chu stroked his gray beard and said. .

Hearing this, Meng Ruoqing's eyes lighted up. If she could stay connected with Huichuntang all the time, their income would be guaranteed. Wei Mingxuan knew all the common herbs. She could also teach others to identify herbs, and she would be free to do other things. matter.

After thinking for a while, Meng Ruoqing finally nodded: "Doctor Chu's suggestion is naturally good, but it's just empty words, don't you think?"

"Oh, we can sign a contract. As long as your herbal medicine is of good quality, I will keep taking your herbal medicine." Dr. Chu was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized.

"That's very good. Doctor Chu, please write down the contract." After getting the answer she wanted, Meng Ruoqing smiled a little more.

Dr. Chu took a pen and paper, and wrote down the contract on the spot in triplicate. One copy was kept by Dr. Chu, one copy was kept by Meng Ruoqing, and the other copy was handed over to Yamen Justice by the owner of Party A, Dr. Chu.

Meng Ruoqing carefully read the terms and conditions of the contract, and finally signed her name on the paper. Dr. Chu nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the vivid calligraphy on the paper.

"This is taels of silver, count it." Dr. Chu accepted the contract, and then counted the taels of silver from the money box and handed them to Meng Ruoqing. The herbal medicine sold this time totaled 250 Wen, that is, three taels and 250 Wen.

Although it was less than what Meng Ruoqing expected, the money had already been spent by the Wei family for two months, and the most valuable thing was not the silver taels from the sale of medicinal materials, but the contract with Dr. Chu.

After getting the money, Meng Ruoqing left contentedly, and before leaving, she took a medicine list from Dr. Chu, which listed the medicinal materials that were in short supply in the medicine hall.

After leaving the medicine hall, Meng Ruoqing took Wei Mingxuan and started wandering around. With the money for buying medicinal materials and the few hundred Wen that Mrs. Yang gave her in the morning, she had a total of four taels of silver in her hand. Although she couldn't buy anything of excellent quality, But there is money to buy some snacks for the children to beat the teeth.

Meng Ruoqing walked around and found some sweet cakes and some maltose. She weighed half a catty each, and then bought some seasonings for cooking, and left the grocery store with Wei Mingxuan.

It was already noon at this time, and Meng Ruoqing was not in a hurry to go back. She and Wei Mingxuan went into a restaurant on the street together, and she wanted to sell the wild rabbit she caught last night to the restaurant.

Wei Mingxuan is currently practicing self-defense, and he will catch more and more prey in the future, and he will definitely not be able to eat them all, so he might as well sell them, and establish a long-term business with them, which can be regarded as an additional income.

"Please go to the next door for dinner, both of you." The waiter who was greeting the customers saw Meng Ruoqing and Wei Mingxuan, and said with a smile.

"Man, we're not here for dinner, we're here to talk about cooperation. I wonder if I can ask the guy to introduce us to the shopkeeper." Although he was also underestimated, the waiter's attitude was obviously more aggressive than that guy from Huichuntang. easy to accept.

This comparison made Meng Ruoqing feel a little more fond of this restaurant, and the smile on her face became more warm.
