Most of the people present knew that Chairman Huang was the second person at home, but no one had ever called him the name Huang Lao Er, and had never even heard of such a title.
No one had ever thought that someone would call President Huang like this.
Nowadays, it is said in the Jiankang City medicine shop circles that a stomp of his feet can make the medicine shop street tremble. However, he did not get angry as if someone pointed his nose at him and scolded him. Instead, he showed a very strange look, like a smile and a smile. cry.
Mr. Dong, who was following Gu Shiba Niang, suddenly stopped, his eyes twitched, and he looked at the person who was walking into the hall in disbelief.
The old man selling medicine was still dressed slovenly, dragging a sack in his hand, with a slightly smug smile on his face, as if he had just come back from somewhere to make a fortune.
Seeing him approaching her, Gu Shiba Niang couldn't help but shed tears, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand to wipe them away.
"Nothing." The old man glared at her. As he spoke, he looked at Chairman Huang who had already stood up, and bowed his hands, "Huang Lao 2, what are you talking about? Such a big battle made this girl cry. "
"Old Liu"
President Huang strode over, looking excited, grabbed the old man's shoulders, looked left and right, and wished he could turn back to the past to see.
"You old guy, you old guy"
"I'm an old guy who's not dead yet. Are you all disappointed?" the old man said with a grin as he blinked his little mung bean eyes.
The atmosphere in the hall that was still hot just now condensed, and all eyes were on the old man. His breathing became more and more rapid, and occasionally the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard.
Who is this obscene-looking old man
More and more people began to whisper to those around them.
"It's Mr. Liu, it's Mr. Liu" Wang Hongbin suddenly shouted, because he was so ecstatic that he even wanted to cry.
Following his words, everyone in the Baohe Hall who originally looked defeated suddenly raised their heads.
"Uncle Third, what did you say?" Everyone was still in disbelief.
Wang Hongbin had already pushed away everyone and stumbled to the old man.
"Mr. Liu..." He was shaking with excitement and bowed head-on.
Baohetang can be saved. No, Baohetang is fine. God has opened his eyes. . . . . .
"Oh, who are you?" Liu Gong looked at him with narrowed eyes.
"Junior Baohetang..." Wang Hongbin replied respectfully.
"Oh..." Liu Gong said in a long voice and narrowed his eyes at him, "Hey, I heard that you are selling my secret Purple Gold Pill. I wonder how the sales are?"
His voice was casual and somewhat curious, and he seemed to be very interested in this matter. Without waiting for Wang Hongbin to answer, he turned his head, winked at the people around him and said with a smile, "I haven't been out for more than ten years, old man." I don’t know if I still have some dignity after taking the medicine. I wonder if no one has bought the medicine.”
"You are joking, old man..." The people around him laughed and rushed to express their respect, just hoping to fall into Liu Gong's eyes.
"The sales are very good, very good. They were sold out in one morning..." Wang Hongbin replied hurriedly.
"Oh..." Mr. Liu spoke in a long tone again, looked at him, and asked with a smile, "That's it, then why did you invite this girl over today? But you still want her to do something?"
Wang Hongbin's heart skipped a beat, and all the joy disappeared. He raised his head, looked at the old man's smiling face that looked like a chrysanthemum, and shuddered.
"I am today... I am today..." He only felt that his throat was dry and he couldn't say anything no matter what.
"Girl, we all have rules when it comes to doing things. The money will be cleared upon delivery. You can't just see that someone else's medicine is selling well and feel that you are losing money on the asking price, and then come to ask for money afterwards... We are pharmacists. "Once the medicine is taken away, it is not yours. It will be sold at the local price. Whether it is good or bad, it has nothing to do with us." He looked like he was teaching his disciples, but to everyone's ears, it had a different taste.
Wang Hongbin was sweating. He was not teaching Gu Shiba Niang, but he was clearly teaching himself.
They, Baohe Tang, should not have the courage to sell medicine but not be questioned. Instead, they drew the blame on Gu Shiba Niang. This was a taboo for pharmacists.
"Don't you think so, Mr. Huang?" Mr. Liu ignored him and turned to President Huang.
How dare Chairman Huang say no? He didn't feel any discomfort at all when facing the old man. He kept saying "No, how can this little lady not understand this rule? You are too worried, little lady." Not that kind of person."
"That's good, I'm really afraid that she will do something inappropriate." Mr. Liu nodded and glanced at Gu Shiba Niang, "Did you hear that, Mr. Huang is an elder, and he praises you, but he doesn't know how to thank you... ."
"Don't dare." President Huang laughed.
Gu Shiba Niang took a step forward.
"You can't call me Huang Lao 2, you still have to follow the rules..." Liu Gong reminded him as he remembered something.
"Yes, President Huang is so complimentary that a little girl wouldn't dare to accept it." Gu Shiba Niang bowed her head and saluted.
President Huang didn't dare to ask her to worship her, so he stretched out his hands to help her up and praised her several times with a smile.
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall had become very lively. Many elderly pharmacists sitting next to Mr. Dong crowded over and stretched out their hands tremblingly towards Mr. Liu.
"Mr. Liu, it's a blessing that you are still in good health."
Some were so excited that they couldn't help themselves and shed tears.
"You are all here. I haven't seen you for so many years. You have all changed. I almost don't recognize you..." Liu Gong looked at them, shook hands one by one, and said with emotion, his eyes seemed to be casual. Mr. Dong glanced at the side and said, "...More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. We are all old, and these younger generations don't recognize us..."
After hearing this, Mr. Dong frowned and stepped forward to salute, "Mr. Liu..."
"I don't dare to take it seriously." Mr. Liu quickly raised his hand to stop him, "How can we, a craftsman, dare to use the word "master"? Isn't this killing someone with a smile?"
Mr. Dong's face looked as if a dye shop had been overturned, and he dared not say a word.
"Oh, by the way, what's going on today? Such a big fight? If I hadn't been in such a hurry to find this girl, I wouldn't have dared to come in. Mr. Huang, I didn't delay your important event." Liu Gong asked with a smile. , with a worried look on his face.
President Huang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he simply bowed to Mr. Liu and saluted.
"Mr. Liu, I was wrong. Your Excellency," he said solemnly.
Seeing him like this, Liu Gongqian laughed a few times, seeming a little bored, "You old guy, it's just boring, forget it," he waved his hand.
"You, old man, are so interesting..." President Huang smiled bitterly and said, since you are here, why didn't you come out earlier so that there wouldn't be so many things? Are you sincerely watching us make a joke
"Yes, yes, we didn't know Mrs. Gu was your boss..." Many people hurriedly followed, with frightened smiles on their faces.
Liu Gong snorted and stared at them, "Don't know? Hum, my Liu Bucai's medicine has already been made by everyone in the world, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in front of them looked a little embarrassed.
"I didn't do it well..." Gu Shiba Niang whispered from the side, "Everyone should question it."
This is indeed a fact. Of course, it does not mean that Mrs. Gu did not do well, but that not all medicines are the same as Liu Gong's method. But at this moment, no one dares to say this, so they can only accept Liu Gong's scolding. , seeing Gu Shiba Niang say it herself, everyone felt relieved.
Fortunately, fortunately, this little lady doesn't have the weird temper of those pharmacists.
"I know you're stupid, so don't be so hasty to speak." Liu Gong glared at her and said angrily, "You've made the Purple Gold Pill, you've become more capable, show it to me."
At this time, the few people holding the Purple Gold Pill had long lost their previous anger. Instead, they were as excited as if they had found a treasure. They couldn't close their mouths with laughter. They just laughed and giggled, but they still reacted after being pushed twice. Rushing over with plates in hand.
"Mr. Liu, Gong Liu, the purple elixir made by Mrs. Gu is here." They nodded and bowed with smiles.
Liu Gong reached for the porcelain bottle, poured it out and looked at it casually. He snorted and stared at Gu Shiba Niang.
"Look what you did, why is it so bad?"
Gu Shiba Niang lowered her head and said yes.
"It's not bad, it's not bad, it's top quality." President Huang quickly smoothed things over with a smile.
Liu Gong ignored him and raised his hand to sweep the porcelain bottles down to the ground. This move was beyond everyone's expectation. Hearing the crisp cracking sound and looking at the pills rolling all over the floor, they were all stunned for a moment.
"Oh, these are all top quality..." When they realized what they were doing, everyone's expressions suddenly looked pityful.
"It's just some purple gold elixirs. I'll make it up to you when I do it." Liu Gong waved his big hand to stop the mourning.
As soon as these words came out, the few people who bought the Purple Gold Pill suddenly cheered in surprise.
Make a fortune now
"Well, Mr. Huang, are you okay? It's okay. I have something to do. I'll take the girl away first." Liu Gong clapped his hands, pulled his sack, and asked.
"It's okay, it's okay." President Huang laughed and said, "Mr. Liu, since you're here, I'll hold a banquet to cleanse you from the dust..."
"Okay, okay, how can I have the free time to listen to your nonsense..." Liu Gong waved his hands, put his hands behind his back, and walked out kicking the sack.
Gu Shiba Niang saluted President Huang and others.
"Ms. Gu, you're welcome." Everyone hurriedly stretched out their hands to help her.
Gu Shiba Niang then turned around and walked out. She passed by Wang Hongbin and was stopped by him.
"Ms. Gu..." His face was gray and his voice was hoarse. He had nothing to say but was speechless.
Gu Shiba Niang did not turn her head to look at him, and paused slightly in her steps.
At the beginning, she didn't even know what books she got or what medicine she made. It was him, Baohetang, who was like a treasure collector, brushing away the dust on her body, revealing the brilliant brilliance. That paragraph, if it weren't for This accident gave her confidence and money. Otherwise, she would have been unable to fight back against the series of blows suffered by the first Hui clan, and she would have fallen back into the established trajectory of her destiny.
Although it is said that without Baohe Tang, there will definitely be other medicine shops that discover her, but since fate has chosen Baohe Tang, it is Baohe Tang. Although she did not say it, she was really grateful to Baohe Tang in her heart, and even I feel that they are as close as family members, so I specially give them medicine.
So what if it’s just a relative? They can fly on their own in times of crisis, they can be snobby when making decisions, they can support each other, and they can also fight and break up. What's more, they are not relatives at all, but just buyers and sellers who cooperate in supply and demand.
At this stage, they actually have no intention of harming each other. Everything is just a last resort in life.
But since Baohetang pushed her out despite her repeated declarations, they still broke up.
"Ms. Gu, you are obviously a disciple of Liu Gong, why don't you admit it? It's just a matter of one sentence, why don't you hesitate to break up with us..." The young man from Baohe Hall rushed over, clenching his fists and saying angrily .
"Jin Yi, shut up," Wang Hongbin snapped at him.
"Why?" Gu Shiba Niang turned to look at him, "Why you do it, I do it for the same reason."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away, leaving everyone in Baohe Hall looking dejected.
President Huang didn't care about the people here at all. Everyone followed Liu Gong's footsteps and rushed out, shouting indiscriminately that you should go slowly and you should go well. . . . . .
Xin Chaoyang walked last, with a happy expression on his face.
"Master, Master, we made the right bet this time." The face of the young man following him was red, and it was obvious that he had not yet recovered from the excitement of seeing Liu Gong.
Xin Chaoyang nodded, and the big smile on his lips became even bigger, "Yes, this time it was really... I made unexpected money."
As he spoke, he glanced at the words Baohe Hall on the door plaque.
"Originally, I just wanted Baohe Hall, but I didn't expect that I accidentally missed something when I was polite to Mrs. Gu..." He smiled, "It's not strange to be polite to many people, and the ancients never deceived me."
The young man scratched his head, not quite understanding what this had to do with the ancients.
"Young Master, why do you think Mrs. Gu just didn't say that she is Liu Gong's apprentice?" He was also puzzled and felt that Mrs. Gu was being mysterious.
Xin Chaoyang shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't you see?"
"What do you see?" he asked puzzledly.
Xin Chaoyang reached out and knocked him, "Many people have noticed that this Mrs. Gu is not actually Liu Gong's apprentice."
"Ah?" The young man didn't believe it at all, "Then Mr. Liu was just..."
"Did Mr. Liu just say that Mrs. Gu was his apprentice?" Xin Chaoyang asked with a smile, "I think they met by chance. Mrs. Gu was mentored by Gong Liu, but she did not become a disciple..."
"Oh, that's right," the young man suddenly realized, "no wonder she just doesn't admit it."
Xin Chaoyang smiled, and glanced at the excited people gathered at the door, looking in one direction, "I'm afraid there are not a few people who know this, but so what, Mr. Liu has no apprentices, and this Lady Gu is the one who pointed her out. It is enough to be his apprentice. What's more, after Mrs. Gu becomes an official, she will never abandon the nobles to become craftsmen. Everyone knows it well. After all, Liu Gong is still here, so what does it matter whether he has an apprentice or not? "
"Young Master has thought so thoroughly," the young man said with admiration.
Xin Chaoyang smiled, got on his horse, looked across the crowd, and watched Madam Gu's carriage go away.
Just looking at the behavior of the lobby and Baohe Hall today, this little lady is quite interesting.
Who said that a daughter’s family is as gentle as water, her heart is as kind as Buddha’s, and her ears are soft but she can’t bear grudges
"Ruthless enough" he said to himself with a smile, turned the horse's head and left.
In the empty hall, everyone in the Baohe Hall stood with their heads bowed, and even those with weak concentration sobbed softly.
"Uncle Third, what do you mean by Mrs. Gu? What do you mean why we do it and why she does it?" Several young people gritted their teeth and said angrily, "She must have colluded with Jiankang and other medicine shops to deliberately harm us... "
"Shut up," Wang Hongbin shouted, glanced at the young man in front of him, and sighed deeply, "We made the wrong step first..."
The young man was unconvinced and wanted to say something else, but he heard someone outside shouting, "Master, the letter from the old man in Beijing has arrived."
Shake out the thin piece of letter paper and read the words on it.
"... In everything, Madam Gu's words are the most important thing and cannot be contradicted. When she said this, there must be something that cannot be said clearly. Do not force her recklessly. Forcing her with no way out will definitely harm you and others." There is no need to think too hard about the situation.
Wang Hongbin let out a long sigh and sat down slumped, the letter falling from his hand.
