Chapter 22: Big Ding, Pharmacy and Business Way Support)

The capital is very large, with five cities in the southeast, west, north, and central, and the center belongs to the inner city. It is the place of the royal palace and cannot be approached by ordinary people. The other four urban areas are roughly the same.

The medicine shop under the name of Queqiaozi is on a bustling street in the south of the city. The front building is three meters high, with a green brick and wooden building. A large plaque reads: Baicaotang, the door is closed at this time, and there are wooden boards hanging on it, which is obviously not open.

Fan Yu took off the wooden board that sealed the door and pushed it in. A strong herbal smell came to his nose. A place hundreds of meters squared, near the left hand side was a counter, and the other three sides were tall medicine box shelves. A red pen on a drawer was written with herbal names, which were as many as thousands.

The ground is covered with blue bricks, with thin dust. Walking on it, step by step, listening to the noise outside, it looks like another world.

I stood there for a while and then went to the backyard, lifted up a bamboo curtain, and there were several rooms on both sides of the aisle. I looked inside. There was a long earthen kang, which had a bed and bedding on it, which was obviously the place where the apprentices lived.

Going further back, there are three yards, six large rooms, one kitchen, and one living room. The room is not used for accommodation, baking, and storing herbs, and it is also a warehouse.

Standing in a yard, herbal debris and piles of wooden racks on the ground, it seemed as if I saw apprentices drying herbs here.

His expression was slightly complicated. Although this medicine shop was only one of the three medicine shops in Partridgezi, its store value was more than 50,000 yuan.

What's more, there are several warehouses where the medicinal materials are valuable, and all of this was obviously arranged by Partridgezi and left to him.

The two of them have known each other for only half a year. Although he was on the Star Gazing Tower and wanted to take him as his teacher, he did not accept him as his disciple when he left the capital when Queqiaozi left the capital.

If he saw this medicine shop, he would feel even more complicated. He gave him decades of hard work and gave him a wealth and honor without having to worry about the next resource of cultivation. Such kindness is truly the love of a master and a disciple.

Taking a deep breath, I walked into the last room. What came into my eyes was a huge boiler, like a tripod, with dark blue all over my body, and the patterns of talismans were mysterious. Below my four feet was a pattern, looking like a vermilion bird, red like blood.

The room was not big, except for the boiler-like tripod, there was also a table, and a letter on it was pressed with a small box.

Fan Yu picked up the letter, which read: Fan Yu personally opened it.

"My friend Fan, when you see this letter, I must be no longer in Daxia, so there is no need to be sad. This may be a destined thing for me. I have been practicing hard for more than 60 years and wasted half of my life in the capital. I am obsessed with making pills by gold and stone, and I have never had blood. Now I am alone, and it has been time to wake up again."

"It's not too late to wake up. Two of the three pharmacies under your name have been sold. The remaining Baicaotang will be left for you to practice. Whether to sell or keep it yourself. If you have any difficulties, you can find fellow Taoists at the Star Gazing Hall."

"If there is a chance, maybe we will meet again..."

...

The other contents in the letter are some purchase channels left by Partridgezi, and some instructions, which are very detailed, as if everything needs to be arranged and explained clearly.

Fan Yu murmured for a long time, "Master Taoist Master, how can you repay you with such kindness when you told me?"

I left 10,000 yuan in money, a pharmacy shop, and several medicinal materials and purchase channels. Even when some important customers will get medicine, they all explain what needs they need.

This is called him, how did he sell the drug store?

...

Half a month later, Baicaotang reopened, without any lights or gongs and drums. It cost a lot of money to dig up several apprentices from other pharmacies and serve as servants from more than ten women from the Fan family compound, and then opened its business.

On the first day of opening, fellow Taoists from the Star Gazing Tower all came to support them and ordered three tables of wine and food at the Zuixian Tower next to them.

Afterwards, Fan Yu counted the gifts and made a lot of money, more than 20,000 yuan, some secret books on medicine classics, and even some books about Huangqi's arts, and they were placed in a room.

"Shopkeeper Fan, there are guests in front of you."

As soon as the apprentice trotted over, she looked a little panicked. Fan Yu packed up the money ticket and turned around and scolded: "What are you doing in a panic? The guest is here to receive..."

"Shopkeeper Fan, you'd better go and have a look. That customer, he is not here to buy medicinal materials."

"Don't you buy medicinal materials?"

Fan Yu was stunned. Seeing that his apprentice was in the winter, his sweat stains came out, he no longer made things difficult for him, "Let's go and take a look."

When we arrived at the living room in front, there were a circle of apprentices and women around us. We looked around and saw Fan Yu coming, and there were crowds of people.

"Shopkeeper Fan, the guest is inside."

"Mr. Fan, that person doesn't look like a good person. Be more at ease. If you make things difficult, we will report to the official."

...

The person who said the guest was an apprentice, the person who said it was not a good person, but a woman from the Fan family compound. For the people in the Fan family compound, the owner now has a pharmacy shop, which is a matter of giving them a face.

Fan Yu nodded slightly: "Okay, you all go and do it."

Everyone scattered and then entered the door. A middle-aged man in a blue-gray cotton robe was wearing a fur hat and was holding tea, blowing leisurely, very relaxed and comfortable.

Fan Yu looked at his upper quickly and took a look at it. He saw no mud. He felt aware of it. He walked a few steps and smiled as he walked: "The apprentice came over and told me that a guest had come, and you have been waiting for a long time."

"Come on, have some good tea."

The man lowered his eyes and did not raise his eyes. He just said lightly: "It's not enough to be a guest, but he has a business, but he wants to discuss the Tao with you Baicaotang."

As he said that, he gently put down the teacup, glanced at Fan Yu, and slowly said, "Are you the new owner of Baicaotang?"

When Fan Yu heard his tone, he was not like a Shanke. His heart was full of twists and turns, like lightning and fire. He filtered out the people he had been dating for a while and did not offend anyone. So he knew that it must be something left by Partridgezi before.

He was not afraid, and bowed with a chuckle: "Yes, I am Fan Yu, the new owner of this Baicaotang and the shopkeeper. I don't know the surname of the guest?"

"Just yes, I'm afraid you won't admit it."

The man sneered, took out a list from his sleeve, placed it on the table, and clicked: "Let's take a look."

Fan Yu was puzzled and walked up and picked up it up. It was a bill of lading, with dozens of medicinal materials on it, most of which were valuable. It was afraid that it was worth more than one or two thousand yuan. Looking at the handwritten signature and a seal of Partridgezi below, he knew it was not a forgery.

After looking at the pickup date, it expired a month ago. When I looked at the man's face, I immediately understood why I was in such a posture.

After thinking about it carefully, this matter was indeed mentioned in Queqiaozi's letter. He didn't care at that time, and he didn't expect that as soon as the business opened, people came to him.

After thinking for a while, he bowed his hands and smiled bitterly, and said apologizing: "It turns out that this is the matter. I'm really sorry, Fan Yu is here to apologize to you."

“There is no need to apologize.”

The man sneered: "Now you have broken the rules of Baicaotang and misled my master's affairs. Just a single apology is enough. Is there any kingly law in the world?"

"What do you mean?"

"I will lose money for ten thousand yuan, not even a cent less, otherwise I will report to the official and enfeoff your Baicaotang."

Fan Yu's expression was slightly calmed, and he suddenly smiled: "Then you report to the official."

"you……"

The man was furious and stood at the desk, staring at Fan Yu with his eyes: "You really think I don't dare to report to the official?"

Fan Yu shook his head: "You misunderstood. I believe you dare to report to the official position, but what are the benefits of doing this?"

Seeing that he didn't say anything, he didn't give him more room to think, and said, "It's better to do this. It's really wrong for me to breach the contract. I will prepare the medicinal materials for you within three days. If you buy them again, the price will drop by half a century. As for how you go back and submit the transaction, I won't talk too much. This is our private transaction."

The man's expression changed and he snorted coldly: "You Baicaotang is half worth it?"

"No matter how much I will lose money, I might as well go to the official position. At worst, you can sell this pharmacy and become a rich man."

Fan Yu pondered, took out a money ticket and placed it on the table: "This is a hundred yuan. If you take it to drink tea, it is considered as a plea."

The man looked at Fan Yu deeply and suddenly smiled: "You are not old, but you are very powerful. I underestimated you before. Can you really make the decision on this pharmacy?"

"You can make the decision, don't worry."

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you. I'll get the medicinal materials in three days."
