Siheyuan: Starting from 1952

Li Pengfei has been waiting for Li Yanxi to come home.

He looked at the dark sky outside and complained: "This girl, I never kept her out of the house all day, nor did I let her stay out so late..."

"Is something going to happen?"

"..."

As she was muttering to herself, the door creaked open and Li Yanxi limped in.

Seeing this, Li Tengfei rushed over and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you, little girl? How could you hurt yourself on a blind date?"

"Accidentally fell."

"Fell down?" Li Tengfei was puzzled. "How did you fall?"

"When I was on the mountain, I accidentally stepped on empty space..."

"On the mountain?" Li Tengfei was even more confused. "Didn't you go on a blind date with that kid Lu Juemin? How come you're on the mountain?"

"It was Lu Juemin who took me to the mountain."

"What?"

Li Tengfei frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "What was that guy thinking? Why did he go to the mountains for a blind date instead of finding a more comfortable place? And your leg was injured like this, but he still didn't send you home? Does he have any sense of responsibility?!"

"Oh, Dad!" Li Yanxi pouted and explained, "Juemin wanted to take me home, but I saw it was too late. If he took me home, it would be curfew time and it would be inconvenient for him to go back to his own home, so I didn't let him take me home."

"And you don't know, after I fell, he carried me all the way from the mountain back to the city!"

“He’s responsible!”

"Oh my!" Li Tengfei listened to Li Yanxi's explanation and smacked his lips and muttered, "It's over. My silly daughter just met someone once and her soul was seduced away!"

"What will happen in the future... I, Old Li, will probably be able to have a grandson soon..."

"Oh, Dad!"

Li Yanxi stomped her feet in shame when she heard Li Tengfei's muttering, but in her heart.

But I started to fantasize...

……

There are many time-honored pharmacies in Beijing.

Perhaps the most famous one in later generations is Tong Ren Tang.

But although Tong Ren Tang of this era was also very famous, it was indeed competing against several other major pharmacies and each had its own strengths.

For example, the Yong'an Hall was founded during the Wanli period, and the Wanquan Hall was founded during the Yongle period...

There are also pharmacies such as Tongchuntang, Yurutang, and Renyitang.

The scale is not small either.

The day after returning from a blind date with Li Yanxi.

Lu Juemin took the herbs he had collected in the mountains and ran to the pharmacies.

The first place he went to, of course, was Tong Ren Tang, which he was most familiar with.

As a result, Tong Ren Tang has its own special channel for purchasing medicines.

He didn't even look at the medicinal herbs Lu Juemin brought.

Then he went to Yong'an Hall.

Yong'an Tang is most famous for its homemade medicines and has many secret recipes.

Therefore, they are very particular about the medicinal materials they use.

They said that the medicinal herbs Lu Juemin gave them were not what they needed.

But then they gave Lu Juemin a list.

He said that if we could collect the herbs on the list, we could send them to them.

After receiving the list, Lu Juemin then went to Tongchun Hall, Yuru Hall, etc.

I went to two pharmacies in succession, and each had its own requirements.

So in the subsequent pharmacies that Lu Juemin visited, they only took out a little bit of medicinal materials for sale.

in order.

Is to understand the requirements of each pharmacy.

This makes it easier to sell medicine later.

After visiting many pharmacies, he found that the path he had chosen was the right one.

The money earned from medicinal herbs is much more than that from hunting wild game.

If you keep making money at this rate.

In less than two months.

He should be able to earn enough money to buy a house.

After Lu Juemin wrote down the preferences of these pharmacies one by one, he came to the last pharmacy.

The name of this pharmacy is Hou Shan Tang.

This pharmacy does not exist in later generations.

However, he heard from others that this pharmacy is quite famous in the city.

Come to Houshan Hall.

Lu Juemin discovered that the scale of this pharmacy was indeed quite large, and there was an endless stream of people coming to see a doctor and get medicine.

Lu Juemin walked in carrying the medicinal herbs he wanted to sell, found an apprentice worker in the pharmacy, and told him his background.

The worker looked at Lu Juemin and said, "Comrade, you may have to come back tomorrow. Our boss has gone out for something."

Tomorrow? I have to go to work tomorrow, how can I have the time to come over?

So Lu Juemin asked again: "Little brother, besides the owner of the pharmacy, is there anyone else who has the authority to collect medicine?"

The worker thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, indeed. Our pharmacy master is resting in the inner hall right now. He has the authority to collect the medicine."

"Then I'd like to trouble you, little brother, to help me call your young master."

but.

When Lu Juemin saw the young master of Hou Shantang, he was a little dumbfounded.

Because this person was none other than Hou Deqiang, whom she had met once before in Chen Xueru's silk shop.

He is also the father of Hou Kui, Chen Xueru's son in the TV series.

But last time he mentioned it to Chen Xueru, asking her not to marry Hou Deqiang.

I guess he will never be Hou Kui's father.

Hou Deqiang didn't seem to remember himself.

After he arrived at the pharmacy hall, he looked at Lu Juemin and asked lazily, "Are you going to sell medicinal herbs? What do you have?"

"Here~~"

Lu Juemin handed over the remaining herbs.

Hou Deqiang glanced at Lu Juemin's words and said with disdain, "That's all? Are there any others?"

"No more, that's all for now." Lu Juemin replied.

"I'll give you five dollars for these junk." Hou Deqiang thought for a while and said a number.

Five dollars?

Hearing this number, Lu Juemin immediately took the herbs back into his hands and said, "I won't sell them!"

It must be said that Hou Deqiang is really not a good person.

If the herbs he took out were sold in other pharmacies, they would cost at least ten yuan.

He was so good that not only did he give a half-price discount, he also belittled his own medicinal materials.

Do you have to be so dark?

"whispering sound!"

Hearing that Lu Juemin was not selling, Hou Deqiang rolled his eyes and scolded: "You are such an ungrateful boy!"

"The price I'm giving you is not high, but you have to think about the future, right? Will you not come to me to sell medicine in the future?"

"If you don't agree to this price, then I won't accept any medicine you send me in the future!"

"Understand?"

After listening to Hou Deqiang's words.

Lu Juemin laughed in his heart.

A dishonest businessman is a dishonest businessman.

Why do you have to find so many high-sounding excuses for yourself?

If your Houshan Hall doesn’t accept my medicinal materials, won’t other pharmacies accept them?

Is yours the only pharmacy in the city?

To know.

The medicinal herbs that I just took out are all urgently needed and in high demand.

If not for understanding the requirements of each pharmacy.

He had long ago sold these herbs to other pharmacies.

You still don't accept it?

Then you should never accept it!

After silently blocking Hou Shantang in his heart, Lu Juemin turned around and left.

"This kid..."

Hou Deqiang looked at Lu Juemin's "decisive" back, thinking...
