I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 125 People’s Market
When the sky brightened, Luo Qianhuai and Xingjiu had already arrived at the new store.

As soon as she came in, she noticed changes: the shop had been tidy inside and out, all the furniture and furnishings were made of rosewood, the bedding and kitchen utensils were all available, and there were a lot of things piled up in the cellar. Rice, vegetables, meat, and several large baskets of charcoal.

The method of making this kind of charcoal is quite complex. The wood needs to be cut into uniform small sections in advance. After burning the charcoal, it is placed in a wattle basket colored with red clay, so it is called red charcoal.

Its advantage is that it is quite resistant to burning, is gray and does not explode, and produces very little smoke when burning. And because it can only be fired with three types of wood: Qingxin wood, white jujube wood, and dendrobium wood, it will have a faint smell after burning. Although the aroma is slightly inferior to that of silver charcoal, it is also a rare smokeless charcoal that ordinary people cannot buy at all.

In addition, the Baizi cabinet for storing traditional Chinese medicine, the Huiyi trough for grinding medicine, the pottery cauldron for brewing medicine, and the pulse pillow for diagnosis are also extremely complete. It is impossible to specify that they are the legacy of the previous landlord.

Luo Qianhuai looked at Xing Jiu, and when he saw the matter-of-fact look on her face, he understood whose handiwork this was.

"Young Master is really thoughtful," she said sincerely.With these things, she really saves a lot of time. As long as she purchases all the medicines and puts up a plaque, she can open her business.

Luo Qianhuai was in a good mood, so he cooked breakfast himself.The pots and utensils were all prepared according to her previous cooking habits. There were not only woks, frying pans and cauldrons for stewing, but also several bronze dyeing furnaces that she had loved so much before.

She cooked a pot of homemade pimple soup, mixed eggs with chives and batter, spread out a few pancakes, made scrambled eggs with fungus, cut a piece of smoked sausage, served it hot to the table, and invited Xingjiu Eating together is like starting a new house.

Xingjiu has been tortured by Mr. Mo for too long, and her hierarchy is deeply ingrained. She is determined not to sit at the same table with her, but how can Luo Qianhuai continue to encourage this bad habit: "What did Mr. Mo say when he asked you to follow me?"

"I will obey Mrs. Luo in everything and I will protect you at all costs."

Luo Qianhuai knew that she must be hiding something. He couldn't tell her directly about monitoring him, and he didn't ask any more questions: "Then my first order is to ask you to have meals with me every day. There is no need to discuss it."

Xing Jiu burst into tears with gratitude, shedding tears quietly while eating. Luo Qianhuai had nothing to do with her, so he could only turn his sadness into appetite. Not only did he finish what was in his bowl, but he also drank all the pimple soup in the pot. Empty.

Xingjiu stopped crying, and looked at Luo Qianhuai with a strange look: "Madam Luo, you eat so much." Aren't you afraid that the change in body shape will affect the Lord's perception?
She hesitated to speak, but Luo Qianhuai didn't care at all: "The weather is already cold, so you can work well only when you are full."

Luo Qianhuai was telling the truth.Throughout the morning, she took Xingjiu to various drug stores in Changling to get a general understanding of the prices of various medicinal materials.

But this is just the retail price. If she wants to open her own pharmacy, she must have her own purchasing channel. But where this channel is, those pharmacies are tight-lipped, and she still needs to explore and find out on her own.

After running around all morning, Luo Qianhuai and Xingjiu found a roadside stall and sat down.The soup at Hu Ji's soup cake stall is made from pork and chicken bones, and the noodles are smooth and chewy, but there is no chili oil, which she regrets.

Luo Qianhuai added some vinegar and ate it with big mouthfuls.While eating, I was wondering whether I should ask Jia Pei, the man from before, or simply find someone to squat at the door of the Huichun Hall, so that sooner or later I could get a glimpse of the door.In fact, there is the simplest and most direct way, which is to find the original uncle.Since he opened a medical clinic in Changling City, he must have a good understanding of all the operations there.

When I was young, I heard my mother say the name of the drug store, which seemed to be Ji'antang.It's just that she was only five years old at the time, so it was not easy to remember the name of a drug store. She didn't know anything about the address of her grandfather's home.

Luo Qianhuai has traveled all over the east and west cities in the past few days, but has never seen such a drug store.So where are the original grandfather and uncle now, whether they have changed their family or moved to another place, anything is possible.

According to Luo Qianhuai's original intention, he actually didn't have much desire to find his family.She was not the original owner and had seen how ruthless and shameless her elder father's family was, so she instinctively rejected the so-called relatives.Moreover, my grandfather's family's indifference over the years also explains a lot of problems.

In addition, Xingjiu's existence also gave her a headache.The lies that have been told in the past may be exposed as soon as they meet, and it will only cause trouble when they are spread to Mr. Mo. There is really no need for this.

Just when he thought of Xingjiu, Luo Qianhuai noticed that she had no intention of eating and was playing with the soup cake in the bowl of noodles with bamboo chops, looking like she had something to say.

This girl is good at everything, but her personality is not refreshing enough.Luo Qianhuai sighed and asked directly: "I've said it before. If you have anything to say, just say it. It's just the two of us, so we don't have to think too much."

Xingjiu looked around, carefully put down the bamboo chopsticks, and whispered in her ear: "Madam Luo wants to find a way to get medicinal materials, why not go to Madam Zhu?"

Luo Qianhuai's eyes lit up.Zhu Niang is really a good candidate. People who open restaurants are always well-informed and can enjoy the food of all religions. The key is that this person is Mr. Mo's subordinate and can be regarded as his colleague, so he should help each other.

A quarter of an hour later, Luo Qianhuai and Xingjiu returned to Mingyue Tower.It was noon, the time to receive customers, and the restaurant was doing a booming business, but Zhu Niang was not there.

Fortunately, Chen Jing, who was in charge in the building, recognized her: "If Madam Youluo, the shopkeeper, is in a hurry, you might as well go sit in the private room for a while and have some refreshments."

"It's not an urgent matter." Luo Qianhuai had other things to do and didn't have time to drink tea and snacks here: "I'll come back to find Zhu Niang later."

The important thing she said was to go to the human market.Since you want to open a drug store, you will naturally need drug boys.You need at least two or three people to help you with making and preparing medicines, and you have to be loyal, honest and responsible to do this. In this day and age, of course, only those who have signed a contract of sale can rest assured.

The city is located in the southernmost part of the West City, but its appearance is much more respectable than that in Kangle County.The streets were clean and tidy, and there were no unkempt slaves for sale on the streets.Several rows of houses on both sides are lined with Yaxing, and there is a well-dressed man standing at the door, greeting him with a smile.

"Young lady, do you want to buy someone?" A lady-in-law came up to her with a smile, her eyes swept over her and Xingyi's clothes calmly, her smile immediately became brighter: "It's not me, Mrs. Lin, I'm boasting, no matter you No matter what kind of person you want, our dental shop can find a satisfactory one for you.”
