"Why don't I go back to my hometown and take care of the villagers. I'm very grateful. I always think about what I can do for the villagers. This time, the children who came to the city with me will live in the university tonight. Kang room, the rent is mine!" Gu Xiao waved his hand generously.
Those villagers who were reluctant to pay for their children to live on the Ondol, all showed grateful smiles. The children thanked Grandpa Gu one after another and walked into the big kang room excitedly.
Widow Li glanced at her daughter, sighed in her heart, and walked forward with the villagers to express her gratitude to Gu Xiao. Li Xiuhong's eyes dimmed for a moment, and the disappointment in her heart was inevitable. However, she still gave her thanks very politely.
The children almost occupied the entire big kang. There were not many girls who came with him, except for Gu Ye and Li Xiuhong, as well as Aunt Ying. Aunt Ying came in at her own expense. She has already made an appointment with a descendant in the suburban village, and she will marry in the winter of next year. The third grandmother loves her dearly, and is naturally reluctant to let her freeze outside.
Aunt Ying patted the kang head and said to Li Xiuhong, "Hong'er, the kang head is warm, you can sleep here."
Li Xiuhong lowered her head and responded with a humming sound like a mosquito, then took off her shoes and lay down on the head of the kang. Aunt Ying gave her a strange look, then turned to Gu Ye and said, "Ye'er, sleep on the other side of me, we three girls sleep together."
This is not a good thing about the big kang room. Men and women are not separated. This is the reason why many wives and mothers-in-law are reluctant to spend money to come in. Fortunately, most of the children in this large kang room were children from Qingshan Village. Gu Ye and the three of them were crowded in the innermost part of the kang. Gu Ming and Gu Xiao were next to Gu Ye, separating the three girls from the other half-sized children. opened.
Everyone slept in clothes, and Gu Ye put the cloak on himself. After a day's journey, the tired children soon started snoring. Gu Ye seemed to be sleeping, feeling that someone had touched the cloak on his body.
Opening her eyes a little, she saw Li Xiuhong sitting on the head of the kang, across from Aunt Ying who was sleeping, lightly stroked her fox fur cloak twice, let out a slight sigh, and fell asleep again. Although he was a little displeased with Li Xiuhong's vanity, Gu Ye could still understand a child's desire for things that were not obtained.
Gu Ye was awakened by the noise outside. The sky outside was already covered with bright colors. Looking back, Li Xiuhong had already left the room, and Aunt Ying was rubbing her eyes and yawning. On the other side, except for two or three stinky boys, who were still snoring, everyone else was already up.
After washing up, I ate a few bacon rice balls to fill my stomach, and Gu Ye followed everyone on the road again. The bacon rice ball is a dry food made by Aunt Yan at Gu Ye's suggestion. It is salty and delicious, fast and convenient, and is very suitable for eating out.
Gu Ye noticed that Widow Li and her daughter kept a certain distance from her intentionally or unintentionally. Li Xiuhong's gaze still glanced at her through the crowd from time to time, and when she looked over, she quickly moved away.
Gu Ye shrugged secretly, she didn't pay special attention to irrelevant people.
In the evening, a group of people arrived in the town. Separated from the villagers at Zhenzikou, the three of them went straight to Jimintang.
The night gradually enveloped this mountain town, and the shops on both sides of the street were closed. There were dim lights in the Hundred Herbs Hall. A handsome young man in white came out of the shop and met Gu Ye and the three of them.
Zhao Mingxi was stunned when he saw Gu Ye, and a bright smile appeared on Si Junqiao's face: "Miss Gu, but just arrived in the town? Have you found a place to stay? If not, I rented a place in the town. In the small courtyard, my mother and I live alone. If you don't dislike it."
"Many thanks for the kindness of the tenth son, Ye Xin has taken it. We have a place in the town, so we won't cause trouble to the tenth son." Gu Ye didn't want to have too much interaction with the Zhao family, so he politely declined Zhao Mingxi.
Zhao Mingxi smelled the fragrance of medicine emanating from the basket on the horse's back, and smiled: "Miss Gu is here to deliver medicinal materials to Jimintang? My elder brother highly respects Miss Gu's pharmaceutical craftsmanship, and I hope to cooperate with Miss Gu in the future. Chance."
Jimin Tang recently launched a sweet medicine suitable for children, which caused a stir in several prefectures. The most surprising thing is that this kind of children's medicine, which could have been sold for sky-high prices, is only tens to one hundred per item.
In order to avoid malicious hoarding of children's medicines, only children under the age of five who have been diagnosed at Jimintang are eligible to buy medicines. Medicines must be taken at Jimintang, and take-out is prohibited.
No matter the poor or the rich, the children are the treasures of the family, and dozens of medicines, even the children of ordinary people, can afford it. Although the taste of children's medicine is sweet, the effect of medicine is not as bad as soup medicine, and even stronger. Most children recover after two days of medicine. The reputation of Jimintang in these prefectures has skyrocketed, and the common people call Jimintang a living Bodhisattva who saves suffering!
Zhao Mingxi has analyzed it with Brother Hall. These prefectures are precisely the cities close to the unnamed town. Together with the Jimin Hall in the town, it is the first branch to introduce medicines for children. Before the launch of the children's drug, the little girl from the Gu family had contact with the third master of Jimintang. This confirms the speculation of the future owner, Zhao Minglin, that children's medicine is absolutely inseparable from the little girl of the Gu family!
Zhao Mingxi asked tentatively, "The new medicine for children made by the girl has benefited countless sick children. The low price was set by the girl, right? The girl is really good-natured, let the Jimintang take the credit. "
"Sir Zhao, are you trying to sow discord?" Gu Ye raised his eyebrows and asked directly. He couldn't help sighing in his heart: Sure enough, someone born in a big family can't have a pure heart. This Zhao Mingxi looks like a gentle and pure sheep, and he didn't expect that there will be yin behind him.
From the analysis of the big brother, Zhao Mingxi came to the conclusion that the little girl didn't like other people playing with her eyes in front of her, and quickly explained: "Mingxi didn't mean that, it's just to hold injustice for the girl."
"I asked Uncle Bai to hide his identity as a pharmacist. Young Master Zhao, have you ever heard of the allusions to the crime of cherishing Bi?" At this time, she had not grown enough to protect herself. If you rashly reveal your identity, it will be like a child who is swaggering through the market with a big gold ingot, and the final result can be imagined. However, she believes that one day, like Master, she will become the object sought after by pharmacists and pharmacists!
Zhao Mingxi is not stupid. Hearing this, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, and he nodded: "It's my villain's heart. I didn't expect Miss Gu to think so carefully! It's getting late, Mingxi will not delay Miss Gu's business. .Goodbye!"
With a faint smile on the corner of Gu Ye's mouth, he nodded slightly at him and said goodbye.
Gu Ming scratched his head and asked inexplicably, "Sister, what does the young master of Baicaotang mean to stop you? Just to fight for you?"
"It's not worth it for me, it's just one aspect of it." Gu Ye paused, looked back at the slender figure buried in the night, smiled and said, "Brother, think about it, if Jimintang hadn't passed by me Instigation, concealing my identity as a drug maker for children, what kind of consequences will he bring about by reminding him inadvertently?"
"Jimintang has improved its reputation by stepping on her sister. You have been robbed of the credit for nothing. Even if you don't break up with Jimintang, you will still have a pimple in your heart. Even if new drugs are released in the future, you will not cooperate with Jimintang. After the two-year cooperation period expires, perhaps because of the reminder of Baicaotang, I will turn to cooperate with them." Gu Ming's brows gradually wrinkled, and he sighed, "These business people, their intestines are all twisted and twisted. Yes. Sister, you must be careful when dealing with them."
Gu Ye smiled confidently: "Brother, don't worry! There are plane trees at home, but I'm worried that I won't be able to attract the golden phoenix? As long as good medicine is in hand, can there be fewer partners to cooperate with? Paying money with one hand and medicine with one hand, I can No loss!"
Gu Xiao quietly listened to the conversation between his grandson and his granddaughter, saying that he has a pair of smart and capable grandsons, a grandfather of Yali Shanda.
When the grandfather and grandson came to the Jimintang pharmacy, the young man in the store was on the door panel, ready to close. Seeing Gu Ye's appearance clearly, the young man threw the door as if he had seen a ghost, and ran quickly into the inner hall.
Gu Ye, grandfather and brother, you look at me, I look at you, with an inexplicable expression. Just in doubt, Bai Jingxuan walked out of the shop quickly, with a big smile on his face, he greeted him warmly: "Miss Gu, I've finally hoped for you! Hurry, hurry, please come from the room!"
"Uncle Bai, you're so funny! I'm wondering if I've become ugly these days, scaring people so much that I even threw the door!" Gu Ye couldn't help laughing and teasing.
The young man blushed and hurriedly lowered his head to pick up the door panel. Bai Jingxuan laughed: "I tell him every day that he must report immediately when he sees Miss Gu. He is too excited to make such a rude move. I will accompany him and the girl to blame."
"Uncle Bai's words are serious!" Gu Ye entered the backyard familiarly. The shopkeeper in the shop, along with the staff in the shop, unloaded the medicinal materials from the horse's back, and then led the horse into the stable in the back of the house, and took good care of it.
After everyone was seated, Bai Jingxuan instructed the girl who was serving, "Go, make a few cups of my newly acquired top-quality silver tea, and entertain the distinguished guests."
Gu Xiao politely declined: "Master Bai San is too polite, such good tea is too wasteful for us rough people to drink!" Gu Xiao expressed his inability to appreciate the bitter tea leaves.
"Look at what Fifth Master Gu said, what do you call a waste? Miss Gu is the little lucky star of our Jimintang. You are her family, so naturally you want the best to entertain. The three of you haven't had dinner yet? Go, call the chef. I will cook a few good dishes, and today I will accompany Fifth Master Gu to have a good drink." Bai Jingxuan thought of the benefits that children's medication brought to Jimin Church, and his excitement could not be restrained.
