Selling Medicine

Qibao replied: "Master taught me this, I've been learning it for the past two days, and I've already made a few hundred of them, and since our family has been spending money in the past few days, I want to make more money."

The old man held Qibao in his arms, touched Qibao's head and said: "Qibao, thank you for your hard work. If it weren't for you, grandpa wouldn't be able to live such a good life in this family!"

Qibao hurriedly said: "Grandpa, look, you said that again. I am your granddaughter. Isn't it my duty to let you live a good life? If you say such things next time, I will ignore you!"

The old man laughed: "Okay, okay, grandpa won't say anymore, grandpa can enjoy the blessings of Qibao!"

Qibao then laughed and said: "Then I will go to town with my brother and the others tomorrow to see what price these pills can be sold for!"

The old man said: "Then grandpa will go with you. The pills made by our Qibao will definitely not be bad. Grandpa is very confident in you!" Qibao chuckled.

As soon as Wang and the others entered the door of the hall, they heard the laughter of the grandpa and granddaughter, saying: "What are you two talking about! Your teeth are sticking out behind your ears!"

The old man said: "Qibao and I are talking about a great thing. Do you want to know?"

Wang laughed: "You dead old man, love to talk, I'm not listening anymore!"

The old man raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh? Are you really not going to listen? This matter is related to Qibao, if you don't listen, forget it." After saying that he held Qibao and left!

Wang stepped forward and pulled the old man's arm, saying: "You old man clearly knows that I care about Qibao, but you still deliberately take advantage of Qiao. If you don't tell me, I will ask Qibao myself."

Qibao chuckled, thinking that grandpa was obviously a little afraid of grandma, but he still insisted on teasing grandma on purpose. She found it funny and said: "Grandma, I was just talking to grandpa about making money!"

Wang said: "Make money? What money do you make?"

The old man answered: "Anyway, our family has a new business, and we will probably make money again!"

Wang was delighted and said: "What kind of business? Grandma will help you do it, Qibao, you can just give an order!" These days the expenses of the family are not small, Wang's heart aches for the silver, but she knows the size of the matter, and can never be ambiguous when it comes to shelling out the silver.

The old man said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to help me. You don't even know herbal medicine. Qibao's master taught Qibao how to make a lot of pills. They are all pills that can cure injuries and relieve pain. I heard they are very effective. Qibao plans to take them to the Leshan Pharmacy to sell them!"

Wang was a little surprised when he heard this and said: "Qibao can make pills now? Will it be tiring to do this, don't do it if you're tired, grandma and your auntie and the others can't help, so I can't let my Bao'er get exhausted!"

Qibao said: "Grandma, I'm not tired at all. I just need to put the medicinal ingredients in and watch the heat. It won't take much effort. Don't worry, I still have my master to help me!"

After hearing Qibao's words, Wang said nothing more.

At noon, Uncle Xu came back with the village chief. Before he could sit down firmly, Uncle Xu said: "Dad, the matter has been settled. Tomorrow the materials can be brought over, and we will start construction tomorrow! "

The old man nodded and said: "Today the young and strong laborers from the neighboring villages who heard the news came over to the village chief to confirm the news, you were not there, I have made it clear to them, tomorrow they will come over to work."

The village chief smiled and asked: "How many people have come, are they enough?"

The old man said: "A lot of people have come. It is estimated that there will be more people coming to work tomorrow than today. Village Chief, please register all their names. From now on, the matter of their work will be handed over to the Village Chief. I will ask my second child to follow and help you!"

The village chief said: "Okay, brother, don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

Seeing that it was time for lunch, the village chief was about to take his leave and go home. The old man tried to persuade him: "Village chief, you can eat at my house for lunch. It only requires a pair of chopsticks!"

The village chief shook his head and refused: "Brother, no need, I've already told my family that I'll go back for lunch at noon, so I won't stay, I'll go back first!"

The old man stopped persuading him and sent the village chief out of the gate before turning back to the main hall.

The next day, Qibao got up with her brothers and the others, took all the pills that had been made and put them in bottles, and after breakfast, she rode in the carriage with her brothers and the others, with the old man following behind.

After arriving in town, she bid farewell to her brother and the others and got off the carriage with the old man, making her way towards the Leshan Pharmacy!

As soon as they entered the door, the waiter recognized the two of them, stepped forward and greeted them with a smile: "So it's you, are you here to grab some medicine?"

The old man also smiled and replied:"Little brother, I'm here to find Shopkeeper Hong today, may I ask if he's at the pharmacy?"

The waiter said: "Yes, yes, I'm going to inform the shopkeeper right now, please wait a moment!"

He ran into the backyard and saw shopkeeper Hong sitting there sipping tea while flipping through a book in the middle of reading, said: "Shopkeeper, the family that sold the ginseng last time came and said they wanted to meet you, and are now waiting for you in the hall!"

Shopkeeper Hong shook his hand and almost spilled the tea, and said: "Lead the way, I'll go out and take a look!" Thinking to himself, this is what the master explained before he left, he must take more care of this little girl, his master originally had very few matters that were on his mind, now that he is so attached to this little girl, that proves that this shaking head has an extraordinary status in his master's heart, and that he can't afford to treat her lightly.

Seeing the grandfather and granddaughter from afar, Shopkeeper Hong clasped his fist and greeted them with a smile, saying: "Why are you here today, senior? Is there something wrong? And you little girl, you've gained a lot of weight since I haven't seen you for a while!"

Qibao's cheeks trembled. That's wasn't one person saying she's fat, Fifth Brother said the same thing, could it be that she's really fat? No, it's time to lose weight.

The old man also smiled and replied: "I came here today to see shopkeeper Hong. I wonder if the shopkeeper is free?"

Shopkeeper Hong laughed: "The senior is looking for it, where there is no such thing as not being available. It just so happens that I am also bored, how about we move to the backyard and talk?"

The old man replied: "Okay, no problem."

Seeing that the old man agreed, he said to the waiter next to him: "Keep an eye on the store and let me know if anything happens!"

The waiter said "Yes" and felt a little strange. He had never seen the shopkeeper be so enthusiastic. Even if this family sold ginseng to their store, the shopkeeper wouldn't be so polite, right? He couldn't figure it out and didn't think about it, it was still important to do his own thing.

The three of them came to the backyard and sat down. Shopkeeper Hong personally placed two cups of tea in front of the grandfather and granddaughter, and said: "What did senior seek me out for today?"

The old man replied: "To be honest, our family has a pill that can treat internal injuries and relieve pain. I want to bring it to the shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Hong was surprised: "Oh? Your family has this kind of pill, our pharmacy also has it, if the efficacy is similar, then I'll take it!"

Qibao said: "Then let's take it out to you, Grandpa Hong, and you will know."

The old man opened the bag, took out a bottle of pills and said: "This is it. I would like to ask Shopkeeper Hong to see if I can sell it to your pharmacy!"
