Chapter 185 Opening
Xie Fengyue, who was kept in the dark, happily dressed up and prepared to go to Pingkangfang.
She had received a letter from Huarui two days ago, saying that the shop was open for business, and she thought she would go and have a look while she had some free time today.
The shop is located at the corner of Fang Nei East Street. It is a legitimate shop. If the previous owner had not incurred a huge gambling debt, he would not have been in a hurry to sell this prosperous shop without increasing the price.
She didn't take the carriage today anymore. She called Li Xiaobao out to drive the oxcart after he had rested for a long time. It was obviously not a very wise thing to take a carriage in a city where there were many different religions and people.
Sure enough, as soon as Xie Fengyue and others entered the boundary of Pingkangfang, they saw a shopkeeper throwing out the benefactor who was playing with no money left on him. The man turned around on the street and walked towards him. Pretend to bump into an approaching carriage.
He lay on the ground and screamed so tragically that it attracted a lot of attention.
Although it was a horse-drawn carriage, judging from the spirit of the horse, it was obviously an old horse. The driver said it was bad luck, threw away a couple of pieces of silver in disgust and left.
It is not difficult to tell from the expressions of the people watching the show that this is the normal situation in Pingkangfang.
Zhezhi covered his chest happily: "If we didn't give way at Fangshikou, wouldn't this drunkard be trying to trick us?"
Xie Fengyue glanced at the man who took the money and got into the building again, and said lightly: "If you come again next time, you have to change to a donkey cart."
Zhe Zhi was convinced, with a look of approval on his face.
After a moment, Xie Fengyue suddenly remembered something and asked: "Are the escorts you asked to find here?"
He broke the branch and replied: "What did Doctor Ye say? The people who came to buy from small businesses couldn't bear the big man's intimidation, so they only left the escort head."
"Where are the rest?"
"When I went there, the person in charge of the escort agency packaged and sold the working hours deeds of those people to me, and the rest were naturally placed in the princess's mansion as guards."
While talking, the bullock cart leisurely arrived at the door of the shop.
Xie Fengyue stopped Zhizhi's hand that wanted to help her, and jumped off the bullock cart neatly.
She looked up at the plaque.
"A Drug Store"
Xie Fengyue was silent. This was really Ye Wan's style, concise and to the point.
Huarui, a helper who was busy in the shop, caught sight of Xie Fengyue, who was dressed in simple clothes.
Her eyes lit up, and when the word "girl" came to her lips, it turned into: "Miss, I want to buy plaster. Our plaster is very effective and cheap. If it is applied to a wound within an inch, it will be done within three days." If it doesn’t get better, you can get a full refund of the medicine money.”
Xie Fengyue secretly praised: "She never said this, so it must have been figured out by Hua Rui and Ye Wan. Whatever you buy in Shengjing City is of no use, you can return it, but only the medicine is of no use. You have to bear with it, and their new approach has given these customers who are already making hard money a little bit of peace of mind.”
Xie Fengyue didn't say anything, she just stopped at the door of the shop and let Hua Rui introduce her.
The customer who was packing medicine in the medicine shop saw that the little lady wearing a face towel was still hesitating. He shouted at the top of his voice: "Little lady, don't think this shop only sells this kind of ointment, but it is really useful." Ah, I was injured by Mr. Turtle yesterday, so I bought two of them, and I’m almost healed today.”
As if he was afraid that Xie Fengyue wouldn't believe it, he directly lifted up his sleeves, revealing the newly scarred and tender red wound.
Xie Fengyue lowered her head and glanced at Huarui, questioning her with her eyes.
Is this also a shilling for the opening of a new store? Before Huarui returned, the guest carried a dozen ointments and left in a swaggering manner.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to ask Xie Fengyue which building the young lady was from.
If Xie Fengyue hadn't stopped Li Xiaobao quickly enough, the ointment in his hand might not be enough for today.
After passing through the long corridor of the shop, Xie Fengyue saw Ye Wan lowering her head and teaching Hu Er how to spread the black sticky ointment evenly on the paper.
Both of them were very serious, and Hu Er didn't look up until Xie Fengyue came to them.
He has been an escort for many years and has no other skills. His eyes are very shrewd and he can recognize people at a glance.
It was that kind-hearted girl who not only gave their brothers a house to live in, but also gave them white-flour steamed buns.
He was nervous and at a loss. After wiping his plastered hands on his body a few times, he clasped his hands into fists and saluted respectfully: "I've seen... I've seen the lady."
He was worried that the lady would stop wanting him after seeing his clumsy appearance just now.
The business of the escort agency is declining day by day, and even the person in charge is preparing to close down, so everyone can only go to the dock to move goods. When they think of having to support a large family with that meager salary, the brothers all face it. Bring dishes.
Fortunately, they were lucky enough to get a job from Lady Jun. There was no need to work hard here, and the salary was 50% to 60% higher than when they were in the escort agency. If his fault alone delayed the good life of his brothers, then he They are simply worse than pigs and dogs.
Xie Fengyue smiled: "You still remember me."
Seeing that the girl didn't mean to blame him, Hu Er put his worried heart back in his stomach. He still didn't dare to raise his head and replied seriously: "Although the girl is covering her face, her demeanor has not changed. Just recognize it.”
Seeing how timid he was, Ye Wan stood up, patted the dirt on her hands and said, "If you say a few more words to him, he will almost faint from fear."
Xie Fengyue pointed to herself in confusion: "Me?"
Xie Fengyue felt that she now looked amiable and could not be anything other than scary.
Ye Wan pushed Hu Er and urged him to go to the front shop to help. Then she said to Xie Fengyue: "You rarely interact with these people living at the bottom. In their eyes, you are pinching their family." To survive, the more pleasant you are, the more frightened they will be. You might as well be aloof and cold, so that they will feel at ease.”
Xie Fengyue thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was still true. Taking the example when she was studying in Peixian County, she was used to the master blowing his beard and staring at her every day. If the master suddenly spoke to her in a soft tone one day, she would really Will be frightened.
Xie Fengyue pursed her lips: "I learned the lesson, thank you Doctor Ye."
Ye Wan waved her hand: "What are you doing here today? This Pingkangfang is not suitable for a girl."
After Xie Fengyue took off the veil on her face, she sat on the small stool where Hu Er was sitting before without any disdain and said: "It's nothing. I told you that I will give it all to you, so I won't do too much. ”
There was a trace of surprise on Ye Wan's always stern face. She pointed to the stool and then to the black sticky plaster scattered in the big basin: "You don't dislike it at all?"
The fact that medicine can't cure it really comes from my experience.
Can anyone see that the medicine they bought has no effect after taking it (a dog’s head saves life)
During the Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties, the word "salary" had the same meaning as the modern word "salary" in addition to chopping wood and drawing water.
Officials are generally called salary, salary, and monthly payment. Anyway, the names are more expensive. In the article, I chose a word that an uneducated person like Hu Er can say
