Love after marriage with a husband
Chapter 18: A Cute Husband
As a doctor who has been sitting in a pharmacy all year round, it is not that Mr. Ye has never seen a lamp plant, but it is the first time he has seen someone who can preserve the most delicate lamp plant so well.
"Take the leaves and remove the roots to reduce the toxicity, and expose them to the sun for days to squeeze out the water. Only in this way can the lamp grass hold the medicinal properties to the maximum."
Mr. Ye stroked his white beard with emotion, and looked at Fang Zhongshan with blazing eyes: "Which family in Hexie Village are you from?"
Fang Zhongshan replied to him: "It belongs to the Fang family, my name is Fang Zhongshan."
Although he is in Fanyang City, Mr. Ye has occasionally heard of Fang Zhongshan's name because he often comes into contact with Yao people.
Fang Chongshan is the youngest man in the Fang family, and he is so favored by the old lady in the family that he is spoiled to the point of being self-willed. It can be said that he is a villain in the village recognized by the villagers of Hexie.
Some time ago, the deed of being kicked into the river by another brother because of touching the little girl is still a big joke in Fanyang City to this day.
"I remember that your uncle came to the store to grab medicine and said that you were very ill after falling into the water."
Fang Zhongshan was keenly aware of the teasing in Mr. Ye's words. Although he knew that he said these words without malice, he still couldn't help feeling helpless in his heart.
Well, it seems that the notoriety of flirting with unmarried girls will not be cleared away in a while.
Fang Chongshan silently took the blame from the original owner, pretending to be calm and responded: "Well, luck is really good, not to mention saving my life from Lord Yan, but I am lucky to have a little husband."
It was only then that Mr. Ye noticed that Jiang Ran, who had been standing quietly beside Fang Zhongshan, was thin and small. Although his appearance was not perfect, he was delicate and cute.
It should be the little husband who was rumored to be married to the Fang family and was very happy.
Looking at the imperceptible warmth in Fang Zhongshan's eyes when he looked at the young husband, Mr. Ye reckoned that he really liked this young husband who married because of his happiness.
After all, whether you are in love or not is someone else's family business. Mr. Ye is not a person who likes to gossip. He just dazed for a while, and soon turned his attention back to the lamp grass.
"The lamp plant you sent seems to be in good condition and well preserved. I reckon it can be worth this amount."
Mr. Ye shook five fingers, and Jiang Ran, who had been waiting to hear the price with his ears pricked up, couldn't help muttering in his heart: The five copper coins are indeed about the same as Brother Zhongshan's previous estimate.
Although Fang Chongshan didn't know much about the market here, he could probably guess that this price was already the limit that Mr. Ye could pay, which coincided with his expectations.
Thinking of establishing a long-term cooperative relationship in the future, Fang Zhongshan didn't bargain any more, but agreed quite happily.
Seeing that they had negotiated a good price, the little drug boy at the side immediately picked up the lamp leaves and returned the empty bamboo basket to Fang Chongshan.
"Mr. Fang, Mr. Accountant is already working on the abacus. Please wait for a while, and I will send you money when the account is settled."
After the little Yaotong finished speaking politely, he turned around and made two cups of tea for Fang Zhongshan and Jiang Ran.
It was almost noon, and there were not many people coming and going in the pharmacy, so Mr. Ye was free, so he seized the opportunity to chat with Fang Chongshan.
"There are quite a few drug people who come to the pharmacy to do business, and some of them were lucky enough to come across a lamp. Unfortunately, due to lack of experience, they cut off the lamp by the root, wasting the power of the medicine."
"According to the logic, since you are not from the Yaomin family, how come you know that a lamp can only harvest leaves?"
After making up his mind to go back to his old business, Fang Chongshan was already prepared to be questioned.
Except for a long, long time ago, the smoke from the ancestral grave gave a confession to a scholar who had been an official, and the descendants behind him were not very good, almost all of them were peasants with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky.
No matter how you think about it, it is strange that such a family background can understand the knowledge of herbal medicine that ordinary medicine people do not know.
Faced with Mr. Ye's seemingly chatty but probing question, Fang Chongshan still did not change his face. He had already prepared a set of excuses, and raised his eyebrows rather frightfully: "Speaking of it, it's also my fault for being too lucky. , I met a strange old man when I was on a cruise with others, he lost a bet with me on wine, and told me a lot of strange things in order to pay off the debt."
"The lamp is one of the ones he described. The branches are as tall as stalks, and the leaves are as green as clusters. It is a famous herbal medicine. If the preservation effect is good, it can even play a magical role in bringing the dead back to life. At that time, the strange old man didn't believe me, so he drew it on purpose. A sum, a lot of bits and pieces, I wrote it down."
"Going back to Duwu Mountain to go hunting, I didn't expect to find it by mistake."
The original owner was indeed a pleasure-loving owner, and it was not uncommon to drink and gamble with others on the cruise ship.
Mr. Ye didn't doubt the authenticity of Fang Zhongshan's words at all, and stroked his beard in amazement: "You remember it as you like, but you have made a windfall!"
After a brief silence, he said again: "The pharmacy is short of an apprentice who can learn to identify and preserve herbs from a famous doctor. If you are willing, I can recommend you."
Fengyun Pharmacy has a great reputation and good business, but it is a rare and good thing for some weak-rooted drug people to be able to hang a name in the drugstore.
Mr. Ye did not invite Fang Zhongshan on a whim, he had his own considerations.
Only relying on a few ambiguous descriptions and random sketches from strangers, Fang Zhongshan was able to clearly memorize and perfectly preserve the herbs, which shows his talent and ability.
Mr. Ye couldn't help thinking about it, and wanted to recruit talents like Fang Zhongshan for the pharmacy first.
Fang Zhongshan was worrying that there was no suitable reason to explain his knowledge of herbal medicine. After hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he forced himself to hold back his excitement, and asked calmly, "What are the benefits of being an apprentice?" Take it?"
Mr. Ye was taken aback by his question, and almost didn't realize it: "Is it a good thing to receive twenty copper coins every month?"
"Forget it! Why don't you count it!"
Not only can you recognize herbal medicine, but you can also get copper coins. There are such good things in the world!
when!Of course I want to be this apprentice!
Seeing Fang Chongshan grinning happily, Mr. Ye couldn't help pouring cold water on him and said, "It's just a recommendation, whether you can succeed or not depends on your ability."
As the most famous and largest pharmacy in Fanyang City, Fengyun has many people fighting over even a small apprenticeship.
"Our pharmacy recruits apprentices in the middle of summer every year, and this year it's a little earlier."
Mr. Ye explained to Fang Zhongshan in a leisurely manner: "The assessment for recruiting apprentices will take place in a few days. If you have time then, you may wish to take the test. I heard that all the apprentices who came to the pharmacy this year followed the doctor Cai Xuan. of."
"Although Cai Xuan has a bad temper, he is very good at identifying herbs and asking questions about them. If you follow him, you will definitely have a bright future."
"Furthermore, Cai Xuan has a lot of connections. All the shops in the city know him. If you can really learn something from him, you might be able to save money to buy a shop in the city and open your own shop in the future!"
"Twenty copper coins are nothing, and being able to learn a housekeeping skill is nothing better than anything else! I see that you have good talent, and you are a material for doing drugstore business. I am worried that you will waste your time, so I mention this too much."
Mr. Ye babbled a lot, and Fang Chongshan vaguely noticed from his words that the pharmacy business seems to have a rough outline in this era, and even the procedures that need to be followed are very sound.
When he was a herb collector in his previous life, Fang Chongshan was a monk halfway through, and he never attended half a class, relying entirely on the few words of teaching from the seniors.
A lot of pharmacological knowledge was realized by him alone by stumbling through this tattered "Compendium of Materia Medica".
Fang Zhongshan couldn't help but be moved: If he can successfully worship a famous teacher this time, and rely on the experience he has learned from the previous mountain, he will definitely be even more powerful.
Originally, he just wanted to use being an apprentice in a pharmacy as a cover, but now he really wanted to enter the industry.
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness." Fang Chongshan thanked him gratefully, and then said: "I am just a layman, and it may not be easy to get the approval of that teacher Cai Xuan. , Say one or two more good words!"
Mr. Ye naturally agreed, "Don't worry, don't worry, I will mention it to him, and you will be able to participate in it in a few days!"
Fang Chongshan said with a smile: "If it works, this junior will treat you to dinner!"
Mr. Ye frowned in disapproval, shook his hand and said boldly: "What kind of meal do you want me to treat me to? If you have the heart, it will be enough to bring me two jars of wine for this old bone!"
It turned out to be an old alcoholic!
After Fang Chongshan talked and laughed with him for a few words, the little drug boy who led the way came over and said softly: "Mr. Fang, the account has been settled, and I will take you to collect the money."
The accountant had already prepared the silver, and when Fang Zhongshan heard Jiang Ran approaching, he immediately stood up and handed over the small purse in his hand with a smile.
"The silver taels are all in there, you count them."
Fang Chongshan took it in his hand and weighed it casually, then handed it over to Jiang Ran.
Holding the heavy money bag, Jiang Ran couldn't help opening the bag in amazement, and saw five silver bumps lying quietly inside, and was immediately dumbfounded.
Didn't you say five copper plates?How did you suddenly become five taels of silver!
Because she was too excited, Xiao Shuang'er was trembling, and she couldn't even speak thoughtfully: "This, this, five, five... five taels of silver? Is there really no mistake in the calculation? Is there really no mistake in the calculation!"
It turned out that the five fingers compared did not represent copper plates, but silver taels!
A windfall from the sky completely knocked Xiao Shuang'er dizzy, like a dream.
"Take the leaves and remove the roots to reduce the toxicity, and expose them to the sun for days to squeeze out the water. Only in this way can the lamp grass hold the medicinal properties to the maximum."
Mr. Ye stroked his white beard with emotion, and looked at Fang Zhongshan with blazing eyes: "Which family in Hexie Village are you from?"
