Ming Jia takes Ming Jun to visit Dianzhou City.

Mingjia asked several times how her brother and Huo Zelin were chatting, but Mingjun changed the subject several times.

【Hmm~! Sure enough, those who come out to fool around will always have to pay back. 】

Ming Jun is more interested in Mingjia's business and industry in Dianzhou than the customs and customs of Dianzhou.

"Mingjia, do you need help with your business in Dianzhou?"

Ming Junke remembered that his father had written to Chuanzhou, mentioning Mingjia's hard work many times, and also talked about Mingjia's hard work on abacus.

When Mingjia saw that her brother was interested in these things, she was naturally very happy to take her brother to look around his property.

In fact, Mingjia only has a small store in Dianzhou City, and it only sells a few patent medicines.

There was not even a plaque on the small shop, only a banner was hung outside the shop, but the words on the flag were written by Mingjia himself.

When Mingjia arrived at the store, she chatted with the shopkeeper familiarly, while Mingjun looked around the store with a slight frown.

The proprietary medicine store is too small. It can only accommodate two customers. If a third person happens to come to make a purchase, they may have to wait at the door.

There are shelves on three sides of the store, but there is only one row of shelves behind the shopkeeper, which contains several white porcelain bottles of patent medicines. It seems that different colors of bottle stoppers are used to distinguish different medicinal effects.

Mingjun found that there were only some wooden labels on the shelves on the east and west sides of the shop. When he got closer, he found that they were all names of medicinal materials.

After Ming Jia finished chatting with the shopkeeper, she turned around and saw her brother Ming Jun, who was very interested in the shelves on both sides.

"Both sides are looking for medicine and offering rewards for precious medicinal materials. There are prices behind the labels!"

Upon hearing this, Ming Jun raised his hand and casually turned over a wooden sign for medicinal materials. Sure enough, the requirements and price were written on the back.

"First it was to collect some rare medicinal materials for Mr. Ye, and later it was to have a unique memory spot among the many pharmacies in Dianzhou!"

Mingjun smiled and put the wooden sign back on the shelf, but Mingjia explained his method of running the drug store straightforwardly.

“Are these the only types of patent medicines on sale?”

Mingjun saw that there were not many types of porcelain bottles on the shelves, which was much different from the densely packed medicine cabinets in ordinary drug stores.

Mingjun was confused. Although he didn't know the cost of various patent medicines, for the first time, Mingjun had doubts about whether Mingjia's business could be profitable.

Mingjia explained with a smile!

"The customers of my shop that sells patent medicines are still people from the caravan. Ordinary people will not come to purchase patent medicines, so the medicines here are also needed by the caravan."

The price of patent medicines is also more expensive than the ordinary herbal medicines that need to be brewed. The main reason is that they are easy to carry and easy to use.

"Chi Hua and I have calculated together. The current cost is high because we need to purchase medicinal materials, and the shortage of raw materials has led to a surplus of labor."

"speak English!"

……

Ming Jia was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Ming Jun.

"Ahem~!"

"When our own medicinal materials can be used next year, plus the purchased medicinal materials, workers can produce more patent medicines every day."

"Then the price of patent medicines will drop, and my business will be much easier!"

Mingjia spoke very quickly and finished what she wanted to say concisely and clearly.

Mingjun understands the truth, but Mingjun is a little worried about the sales problem, although the medicine is indeed very useful.

Mingjia sent a lot of patent medicines to Chuanzhou before, and the Huang family's escorts who run escorts all year round now carry a bottle with them.

"Will Uncle Li need these patent medicines?"

Mingjia knew what her brother was worried about, so she smiled and said to her brother.

"I only gave Uncle Li enough for his own use. As for the rest, I never mentioned it to Uncle Li!"

"The military camp must have its own drug procurement channels, and I don't want Uncle Li to be embarrassed by this!"

Mingjun understood what Mingjia meant and nodded repeatedly.

"Uncle Li has helped us a lot. Don't bother him with this matter. Let's think of other sales."

Mingjia is particularly happy that her brother is thinking about how to do business and how to make more money for her.

Ming Jia suddenly approached Ming Jun and joked with Ming Jun in a very mysterious way.

"Actually... I have already found a good partner for the patent medicine business."

"Brother! I'm even more afraid that I won't be able to sell enough medicine!"

Mingjun was stunned for a moment, then laughed and stretched out his hand to tap Mingjia's little head.

"You! When will you stop being so narrow-minded!"

"As long as you have the means, you need to be talented to do business!"

Mingjia knew that her brother was praising her in disguise!

On the way back to the government office, Mingjia rarely cared about his brother's imperial examination.

"Brother, when does master plan to allow you to return to Qingzhou to take the provincial examination?"

In fact, this year is the year to take the provincial examination, and Mingjun is destined to miss it.

However, even if he waited for another three years, Mingjun would still be only nineteen years old, and he was still a rare young man among the scholars who took the provincial examination.

Regarding the provincial examination, Ming Jun actually had a chat with his master Xie Boyuan.

"There will be Enko next year! Master wants me to go down and try."

What Xie Boyuan meant was that after Mingjun was admitted to the scholar level, he settled down for three years, so it would be good to practice his skills.

In addition to increasing his knowledge, Xie Boyuan hoped that Mingjun would temper his character.

"So, in addition to visiting relatives, I also want to gain some experience during this trip. I will return to Qingzhou next year to take the provincial examination."

Ming Jia's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly raised her hand and waved it in front of Ming Jun's face.

"Brother! Brother! Me! Me!"

"I can accompany you back to your hometown to take the exam next year. I promise to take good care of you in every possible way!"

Mingjun knew that Mingjia would want to accompany him back to his hometown, and now he had the idea of ​​teasing Mingjia.

Mingjia saw her brother looking at her with a cold face, but his eyes were full of smiles.

"Brother~! Let me accompany you! I can grind ink and fan you!"

"Master is a real person. Why should Enke try next year? Brother! Who does master look down upon?"

"Brother! You take me with you and I will supervise your studies. We must come back with a good exam!"

Ming Jia was talking and her hands were not idle. While holding Ming Jun's sleeves with both hands and shaking them, she secretly observed the changes in Ming Jun's expression.

Mingjia encouraged herself in her heart!

【Soon! Soon! I'm so cute! 】

Ming Jun saw his sister peeking at him and not leaving any room for what she said.

"Amandu can do what you said. Mingxi is still young, just stay at home with your parents!"

Mingjia... [Did I throw out not enough bait? 】

Mingjia was still wondering in which direction his next "flattering" shot would go, so Mingjun couldn't help but give Mingjia some hints.

"You are under a lot of pressure from schoolwork now, and Master also attaches great importance to your schoolwork!"

Mingjia looked at her brother with a very clear look, and suddenly she seemed to remember something, and then her eyes became frightened.

【No way! elder brother! You want your sister, my life! 】
