Medical Brocade

Chapter 128
Back in Linglong Courtyard, Chun Shao was asked to prepare a bucket of hot water, and Dong Ling was asked to pick some flower petals. Qu Ruowen took a bath thoroughly, changed his clothes, and finally got rid of the pungent smell on his body.

After taking a bath, before noon, thinking about the things at the pharmacy, Qu Ruowen had lunch early, and planned to go back to Qu's pharmacy together with Rong Che.

The two walked through the main entrance, and happened to meet Qu Fengquan and Qu Huanxiang at the gate of Qu's house. They probably came back for lunch.

"Father, brother." Just as they were about to meet, Qu Ruowen greeted the two of them, Rong Che followed and saluted, both of them lowered their heads, they were exactly the same, completely like a standard servant.

"You don't need to go to the pharmacy in the afternoon. Go to the warehouse of the medicine garden to see the specific quantities of several medicinal materials Boss He needs, draw up a list for me, check the quality of the medicinal materials, and report to me in the afternoon." Qu Feng After Quan left a word, he went to the mansion, which completely interrupted Qu Ruowen's schedule, and she and Rong Che could only go to the warehouse to count the medicinal materials.

The Qu family has two warehouses, one warehouse is used to store daily goods used by various prefectures and courtyards, and the other warehouse is used to store medicinal materials.

The two warehouses are not merged together. The warehouse for storing medicinal materials is located in the medicine garden in the backyard. Due to the large variety and quantity of medicine materials, the warehouse in the backyard is very large. It is built on the edge of the medicine garden, accounting for one-third of the yard. .

Qu Ruowen hasn't set foot in the medicine garden since the last time. After the Lantern Festival, the weather is getting warmer, there is no snow in the forest, and a shallow layer of green grass has emerged, which is completely different from that cold and Another dead night.

Passing by the place where Bao Fu and Luo An died, Qu Ruowen inevitably stopped for a while.Although she knew the truth, she couldn't clarify it, and she didn't know the purpose of the man in black who visited the Qu family at night.

Since that time, the Qu Mansion has been very quiet, and nothing happened. She was most worried that it would be Yan Weijue's person, but at that time she had just died, and the wind was so tight, Yan Weijue should not be in a hurry to act .

"Miss, step carefully and don't trip." Seeing Qu Ruowen staring at one place and thinking about something, Rong Che reminded him.

The foot is not a bluestone road, but a slightly gentle gravel road, but there is no guarantee that it will not trip, Qu Ruowen puts his mind away and doesn't think about it.

At the end of this road is the medicine garden. After a heavy snowfall, the medicine garden was somewhat damaged, but fortunately, protective measures were taken in time, and the damage was reduced a lot.There are many medicinal herbs growing in the garden, and this season, they are all picked in winter and spring.

The land occupied by the Qu family's mansion does not belong to the countryside in the mountains, so the conditions for planting medicinal materials in the mansion are relatively strict. Fortunately, Qu Fengquan can be regarded as thoughtful, and the management of this medicine garden is not bad.

As for the medicinal materials in the warehouse, Qu Ruowen was not familiar with them. She had never touched the types and quantities of them, but as long as she had the detailed list in hand, there would be no problem.

After passing through the medicine garden, we walked into the warehouse. The warehouse is made of stone mixed with copper and iron. It is mainly for waterproofing. If the medicinal materials get wet, they will lose their medicinal properties.

The warehouse is basically guarded during the day and night, but because of the closeness of the new year in those few days, there will be no large-scale transfer of medicinal materials, so Qu Fengquan did not arrange manpower. No wonder Hu Bi would pick the right time, and Qu Fengquan When going out to discuss business, Hu Bi became even more unscrupulous. If she hadn't appeared, Qu Ruoting and Qu Ruowen would have been lonely ghosts already.

As soon as the new year is over, the Qujia drugstore will be open as usual, and there will be people counting and sorting the medicinal materials in the warehouse. At this time, several people are walking around with notebooks in their hands.

Qu Ruowen walked into the warehouse, and a man about 50 years old came over. This man had kind eyes and gray hair. When he saw Qu Ruowen, he smiled and said, "Miss San."

This person seems to be very familiar with Qu Ruowen. She recalled it a little, and then remembered that Qu Ruowen liked to play in the medicine garden. He learned a lot of Chinese medicinal materials from this person. As for his face being so tanned The blackness is also caused by knowing the medicinal materials in the medicine garden.This person is Steward Zheng who is in charge of the warehouse. She has forgotten what his name is. She only remembers that everyone calls him Steward Zheng, but in private, she calls him Grandpa Zheng. It was this man who saved him when he accidentally touched poison in the medicine garden. she.Because she was not favored, almost no one played with her, and sometimes servants would bully her, which resulted in her withdrawn personality, and only in this place, there were people who treated her kindly.

"Steward Zheng." There were other people in the warehouse, and Qu Ruowen still called him Steward like everyone else, although she could more or less call out their names.

"It's been a long time since I saw Miss San. I heard that Miss San is studying with Dr. Qi in the pharmacy. Why are you here today?" Steward Zheng asked with concern with a smile on his face.

I didn't expect that there were quite a few people who knew about her study in the pharmacy, but the warehouse was directly connected with the pharmacy, so it was not uncommon to know about it.

"Boss He ordered a batch of medicinal materials from Dad, and Dad asked me to verify the exact amount of medicinal materials." Qu Ruowen didn't hide anything. With Manager Zheng around, she would be much more relaxed, at least he can help.

"Really, the master entrusted such an important matter to the third lady, and it seems that he values ​​the third lady very much." Zheng Guanshi was also happy for Qu Ruowen, and hurriedly prepared to count for Qu Ruowen, "What medicinal materials does Boss He need? Is it the same as last year?"

"The medicinal materials are the same as last year, but Boss He wants twice as much." Qu Ruowen didn't know what medicinal materials He Xianzhi wanted, and Qu Fengquan didn't mean to tell her. I think there is a record here. Since Zheng If the steward knows, that would be great.

"It's so much?" Zheng Guanshi was a little surprised and embarrassed.

"Is there enough stock in the warehouse?" According to what Qu Fengquan said, there should be no problem, but everyone seems to be having trouble getting it done.

"Enough is enough, but if you take out so much at one time, the stock in the warehouse may not be enough. Now that the weather is getting warmer and colder, there will be many cold and cold patients in the future. Naturally, the pharmacy will need it. As for other Branches, when the supply is insufficient, will also come to the capital to deliver medicinal materials back, and this season is not suitable for picking these kinds of medicinal materials."

Zheng Guanshi explained slightly, after all, he has stayed in Qu's family for 30 to [-] years, and he is very familiar with the daily demand and supply of medicinal materials.

"That's it." Qu Ruowen had an idea in his heart, but he still had no idea about the specific number He Xianzhi proposed.

"In previous years, Boss He would purchase in two installments, so that the timing can be staggered, and we can also make slight adjustments in various pharmacies to balance the stock in the four places." Zheng Guanshi said.

"Guard Zheng, show me the record of the medicinal materials Boss He needed last year." Qu Ruowen didn't dare to make a conclusion, so he could only figure out the situation first.

"Ah Gui, bring Miss San a cup of tea, and I'll get the notebook." Steward Zheng ordered one of his colleagues to serve the tea, and at the same time quickly brought over the records of last year's purchases and shipments, and told the staff in the warehouse Everything is clear.

Qu Ruowen took the record, and Zheng Guanshi had already turned to the page of He Xianzhi.Most of the medicinal materials that He Xianzhi wanted were used to treat dampness and heat, and of course there were other medicinal materials, which were bought in hundreds of catties.Thinking about it, He Xianzhi is only a little weaker than the Qu family in the business of medicinal materials, and may still be stronger than other drug dealers.No wonder Qu Fengquan and Qu Huanxiang had such expressions when He Xianzhi proposed to double the number.

"Cold and cold diseases, many medicinal materials can be substituted, even if these few kinds are in short supply, we should seek other medicinal materials for treatment." Qu Ruowen closed the notebook and handed it back to Manager Zheng, "Since Dad said to sell these medicinal materials, Then, Manager Zheng will take me to look at the medicinal materials, so I can take a look, and then prepare to wait for the delivery."

When Qu Ruowen talked about business, it was different from what he saw in the past. Guanshi Zheng was very puzzled, but he didn't dare to delay the business. Maybe he learned a lot in the pharmacy, and they all said that famous teachers make excellent apprentices, and the apprentices taught by Doctor Qi , naturally different, thinking so far, Zheng Guanshi led Qu Ruowen to go inside.

The overall structure of the warehouse is very large. There are rows of shelves horizontally and vertically, and a lot of medicinal materials are piled up on it. Since it is not yet the season for picking medicinal materials, there are not many people in the warehouse. After a few days, once the medicinal materials in the medicinal garden are picked , it needs to go through a series of processing, and the warehouse will become extremely busy at that time.

Steward Zheng led Qu Ruowen to stand in front of the calendula silver plate. Qu Ruowen reached out and took a piece. The leaves of the calendula silver plate were relatively thin, and there were small soft hairs on both sides of the leaflet. The quality of the medicinal material was good, so he put it back.She rummaged through the medicinal materials with one hand. He Xianzhi wanted a lot of them, and Qu Ruowen couldn't identify them one by one. To be able to get it.As far as she glanced over, there were almost no damp medicinal materials in the medicinal materials here. It seems that the moisture-proof and insect-proof measures here are still in place.

While following Steward Zheng, while listening to his explanation, Qu Ruowen roughly checked the medicinal materials that He Xianzhi needed one by one, but it took several hours after such a trip. Knowing the year and month, sure enough, not everyone can become an imperial merchant.

After asking for some data from Guanshi Zheng, Qu Ruowen asked Rong Che to take notes. Anyway, he is a scholar, so there is no need to use it for nothing, and he will have to report it to Qu Fengquan later.

The issue of loading was out of her scope of consideration. After the inspection, Qu Ruowen left the warehouse with Rong Che.

When I went out, it was already near dusk, and I was a little hungry, but no matter how hungry I was, I had to finish Qu Fengquan's affairs first, so Qu Ruowen immediately took Rong Che to the main courtyard.

At this time, I don't know if Qu Fengquan and Qu Huanxiang are in the main courtyard. These two people have been elusive these past few days, and they might meet somewhere, which made her have to worry about it.
