Chapter 196: 3 Wen 1 Jin
The next day, Cheng Yue woke up early in the morning. It was not because she woke up naturally, but because Chen Tong and Chen Ning were chattering in the yard and woke her up.
She was already awake and couldn't fall asleep again, so Cheng Yue could only yawn and get dressed.
As soon as I stepped out of the room, Chen Tong and Chen Ning came over and said happily, "Mom, you're up! When are you going to the county town? Can you take us with you?"
Cheng Yue held his forehead and sighed, looking up at the sky. It was just dawn, were they so positive?
"Of course I can take you with me. We'll set off after breakfast and deliver the goods."
Chen An also came out at this time, and said with a helpless smile: "I never saw you guys so excited when I went to the shop before."
During dinner yesterday, Cheng Yue had already told him about wolfberries, and took out a large book on medicinal materials, asking him to learn together. At that moment, Cheng Yue's head started to hurt.
Who could understand? He felt dizzy when he saw those densely packed words, but it wasn’t that he didn’t want to learn.
But the whole family was very enthusiastic and he couldn't hold them back. After being laughed at by his two daughters, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and learn along with them.
As a result, the more I learned, the more interested I became, and the more I listened, the more interesting it became. After all, the paintings in the book were lifelike, and Cheng Yue’s lectures were easy to understand and not boring at all.
Especially Chen Tong and Chen Ning, they became more and more excited as they learned, and even when it was already very late, they still pulled Cheng Yue aside to ask questions.
The two sisters were not embarrassed at all by Chen An's teasing, and said casually: "Dad, please don't laugh at us, we just want to know how much the wolfberries can be sold for, so that we can pick them and make money when we come back!"
My mother said that everyone has desires, and we should be open and honest about them. They just want to make money, so why should we be embarrassed to say it out loud?
It’s my mother’s credit that the shop can make money, they can’t help much, but if the medicinal herbs can be sold, they can go and pick them!
Cheng Yue embraced the two girls and said with a smile: "That's right, remember what mother said, if you are not active in making money, there is something wrong with your brain!"
Chen Tong and Chen Ning nodded continuously, "What mom said really makes sense!"
Cheng Yue added, "A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. We can only make money in an honest way, and we can't do anything crooked."
Chen Tong and Chen Ning said in unison: "Mom, we got it!"
They have to make money with their own abilities!
Cheng Yue felt a little embarrassed after she finished speaking. It seemed like she was the one who was doing evil things in this family...
But she changed her mind and killed this idea. She was not doing anything crooked. Although she had cheats, she made money based on her own ability!
If there were no plug-ins, you would just earn less money and your development momentum would be slower. At most, it would be considered a cheating tool, not a crooked way.
"Come on, let's make breakfast!"
Chen An took the lead and said, "Ayue, take a break. I'll go cook."
Cheng Yue paused, suspecting that Chen An's abundant energy had nowhere to go. After doing carpentry work all day, he didn't feel tired at all and was still so energetic.
Unlike her, sleeping not only does not make me feel relaxed, but makes me feel even more tired...
Cheng Yue naturally wouldn't refuse someone who wanted to cook. She smiled and said, "Okay! The porridge you cook is the most delicious!"
Chen An blushed, coughed lightly, and turned into the kitchen.
Chen Tong and Chen Ning started to cover their mouths and laugh again.
Just after breakfast, Cheng Yue was pulling the ox cart when Zhao Sihu arrived. Cheng Yue quickly said:
"Uncle Sihu, we have to go to the county town to do some work today, and we don't know when we will be back. We will deliver the goods while we are here. You don't have to go today to avoid wasting your time. I forgot to tell you yesterday, and you made a wasted trip."
Zhao Sihu said cheerfully, "It's okay, it's okay. It won't waste time going up and down the mountain! It's okay if you don't go to deliver goods. I'm just going to go to the fields. Just let me know when you need to deliver goods!"
When Cheng Yue first approached him, they had already agreed that delivery work was not available every day and wages would be paid on a daily basis. He had known this for a long time and there was no such thing as delay.
Cheng Yue agreed, and Zhao Sihu went down the mountain.
"Xiaotong and Xiaoning, bring some wolfberries, we're leaving too!"
Cheng Yue waved her hand, and the two sisters got on the ox cart carrying their small baskets. They held the baskets in their arms like treasures, fearing that they would be damaged by the shake.
Chen An was a little worried, but he really couldn't leave. He couldn't ask an apprentice to report every day, while he, as a master, would have things to do every few days.
Thinking that nothing would happen along the way, I could only watch Cheng Yue and the others go down the mountain.
The family went straight to the shop as if they were familiar with the route. Chen Lin and the others happily talked for several words, all of which revolved around the shop's business. In short, the business was good and the people were all nice.
Cheng Yue had other important things to do, so she didn't say much to them. After expressing her concern for them for a few words, she took Chen Tong and Chen Ning directly to Wanhetang to see Doctor Xu.
She didn't know the other doctors, but Doctor Xu had seen Chen An several times, so at least she was a little familiar with him. Moreover, Doctor Xu was a sincere and honest person, so she felt at ease dealing with him.
There were so many people crowded in front of Wanhetang that Cheng Yue was shocked. If someone didn't know, they would have thought that there was a big sale on medicinal materials and everyone was rushing to stock up.
After asking, I found out that Wanhetang uses two days in the middle of every month for free medical consultations. As the name suggests, it is free medical consultations, so it is always crowded at this time. Of course, most of them are poor people.
Cheng Yue stood on tiptoe and looked, and was immediately in despair. At this time...
I thought to myself that if it doesn’t work, I’ll come back another day, but who knows how long that time will be.
"Is this wolfberry? Madam, are you here to sell medicinal herbs?"
Just as Cheng Yue turned around to leave, she saw a young man smelling of Chinese medicine coming up to her and staring at the basket.
Needless to say, he is worthy of being from a pharmacy, he is very perceptive.
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "That's right, we picked these wolfberries ourselves, and I wanted to ask how to sell them."
The waiter made a gesture of invitation, "Madam, please follow me this way!"
Wanhetang has a large shop and many patients, and they need a lot of medicinal materials. No matter what kind of medicinal materials they are, as long as the quality is good, they will accept them.
Cheng Yue and the others entered the lobby and sat for a while, then the waiter came out from the back hall with Doctor Xu.
Doctor Xu is a qualified expert who must have a lot of patients, so it's no wonder he didn't join the free medical consultation.
Cheng Yue quickly greeted him: "Doctor Xu."
Doctor Xu tapped his fingers twice, "So it's you? Your man's legs are healed now!"
Just then the waiter told him that someone was selling wolfberries, but he didn't expect it to be Cheng Yue.
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, Doctor Xu, for your concern. Thanks to your skillful hands, I am now fully healed."
No one doesn't like to hear good words, and Doctor Xu is no exception. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Show me your wolfberries!"
Cheng Yue handed it over immediately. Doctor Xu looked at it, smelled it, and tasted it. Finally, he smiled and said, "Not bad, but we only accept the processed ones. You can take it back and let it wrinkle in a cool place, and then expose it to the sun until it is dry and hard. It's 30 cents per pound."
Chen Tong and Chen Ning clenched their fists excitedly. It was actually 30 cents per pound! Although it was dry, it was still very valuable!
Cheng Yue was surprised that Dr. Xu actually told her the preparation method. Although she knew how to do it, she couldn't help but admire his honesty.
