Rebirth to 90s: Start from Scratch

The old Chinese doctor brought out a bowl of medicine from the back room and handed it to Zhang Qianxiu: "How is the business in your store?"

Zhang Qianxiu didn't expect that the old Chinese doctor was still interested in his business, so he said, "It's okay! If nothing happens, I should be able to do it."

"You are very confident." The old Chinese doctor said, then motioned to Zhang Qianxiu to lie down: "Where are you from?"

"It's in Zhangjiaping, Hemu Town," Zhang Qianxiu said.

"Hemu Town, it's a little far away!" The old Chinese doctor said, pulling up Zhang Qianxiu's trousers and massaging his knees and surrounding acupuncture points. Zhang Qianxiu's knees were about to swell into a big peach.

"It's okay. It takes only half an hour to ride a car fast, and an hour if it is slow." Zhang Qianxiu felt that this was much faster than he was riding a bike.

The old Chinese doctor asked: "Then how do you solve the problem of eating?"

Zhang Qianxiu said, "Eat outside."

The old Chinese doctor gave an "um" and said, "If you don't find it bothersome, you can come to me to do it. It's cheaper than you eat outside. I will follow you all and save cooking."

A meal for three people costs a few yuan, and there is no two or two pieces of meat in the meat dishes. If you make it yourself, one catty is enough. After all, the current price of meat is only about two yuan.

Although Zhang Qianxiu has come to Shudetang many times, the relationship with the old Chinese doctor seems to be okay, at least to talk, but to come here to cook, there is still some interruption: "This...too troublesome old gentleman, we are outside. It’s the same with eating."

The old Chinese doctor didn't have much expression on his face, and said calmly: "It's no trouble. I am an old man here. In addition to seeing a doctor, I read a book. You can talk when you come. It's not so boring."

Zhang Qianxiu looked at the expression of the old Chinese doctor and wondered if he really wanted to find someone to chat with, or if he wanted to help himself.

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Qianxiu said: "Old sir, I will come to your place at noon and evening to cook and eat, and we will buy rice and vegetables."

Zhang Qianxiu didn't want to take advantage of the old TCM doctor. Anyway, he was already an old man.

The old Chinese doctor nodded: "Yes, you come to cook around 11 noon every day. I am used to having lunch at 12 o'clock and dinner at around 5 o'clock in the afternoon."

"okay!"

The old Chinese doctor has always spoken very calmly, but he doesn't like to laugh very much. It feels a little calm and calm, but it seems to be worried.

After chatting with the old Chinese doctor in Shudetang for more than an hour, Zhang Qianxiu discovered that the old Chinese doctor has a very deep cultural background. Although he never said anything, many things can reflect a person's cultural literacy when chatting.

The old Chinese doctor never asked about Zhang Qianxiu's family matters, and just chatted.

During this period, someone came to see the doctor. It was a few-year-old girl who had a high fever. The old Chinese doctor soaked a bowl of powdered medicine and rubbed the hands and feet of the child with the medicine. The effect was immediate. Finally, he took a few pieces of Chinese medicine and only charged 80 cents .

Only then did Zhang Qianxiu know that the old TCM doctors would receive very little money for treating ordinary people, and they would receive more for the treatment of small-minded people, but also less than the hospital.

It was past four o'clock when he left from Shudetang, and Zhang Qianxiu estimated that Huang Enquan and the others were about to return.

When Zhang Qianxiu rushed to the market and just opened the door, an old lady walked up and asked: "Little boss, do you send rice packages to the store?"

Zhang Qianxiu looked back and saw that it was an old lady in her sixties. She quickly said, "Send it! Do you want it?"

The old lady said: "Yes! I heard from Lao Liao today that your family will be sent upstairs, so I will ask, but your door is closed. I have been waiting for half an hour."

Zhang Qianxiu smiled and asked, "Where do you live?"

"It's behind Sunshine Department Store." The old lady said.

Zhang Qianxiu remembered that it was his first client: "Grandma, do you have many old people?"

Although Zhang Qianxiu has a mature soul, his body is still in his teens, and there is nothing wrong with calling him a grandmother.

The old lady said: "It's a resettlement house for retired employees. Those who live there are retired old men and old ladies."

Hearing this, Zhang Qianxiu's eyes lit up: "Grandma, can you help us to promote it? Tell me about the neighbors who come to us to buy rice, and you won't let you help in vain. You can introduce someone over and I will give you ten catties. Meter."

When the old lady heard it, she laughed and said, "Okay!"

While talking, Zhang Qianxiu had already opened the store.

The old lady glanced at the sandbags: "I haven't opened the rice yet?"

Zhang Qianxiu asked, "Do you want good rice or second rice?"

"Good rice! My old man picks it." The old lady asked, "You are selling 60 cents a catty now, right?"

"Yes, I just opened the business. I will get a bit of popularity. I will sell it for 60 cents in two days." Zhang Qianxiu said and turned on the light: "Our good rice hasn't come yet, so please wait a little longer."

"Not here yet? What are these?" The old lady pointed to the sandbags.

"These are all second rice. We just opened today and we are not ready!" Zhang Qianxiu casually scorned.

The old lady said "Oh" without any doubt: "Then when will your good rice come?"

"Half an hour!" Zhang Qianxiu estimated the time.

"Then I'll come later, and I'll ask those neighbors if they want to sell rice." The old lady smiled and left.

"Then go slowly!" Zhang Qianxiu didn't stop, and now there is no rice to sell.

Huang Enquan came back at just the right time. He came back ten minutes later, rented two human tricycles, and drove directly to the door of the store.

Huang Enquan jumped out of the car and said, "Brother Xuan, Brother Liu has collected a lot of rice, 400 catties of miscellaneous rice, and 300 catties of rice. When I went, I collected more than 100 catties of good rice, and Brother Liu gave me Collected two hundred catties."

Zhang Jiankang was diligent. He jumped out of the car and greeted Zhang Qianxiu before he started carrying the rice: "Brother Xiu, where should I put it?"

"Is this a good rice or a second rice?" Zhang Qianxiu asked.

Huang Enquan said: "Cimi!"

Zhang Qianxiu pointed to the location of the door: "Let this..."

The rice was quickly unloaded. After the tricycle left, Huang Enquan took out the remaining money and handed it to Zhang Qianxiu: "Brother Xiu, receive 90 yuan for the second rice; 128 yuan for miscellaneous rice; 76 for good rice. Yuan; for Brother Liu's seven-dollar toll on behalf of him, the fare is eight, and one hundred and thirty-one is left."

Zhang Qianxiu took the money: "You stay here, I'll buy some vegetables, and go to the old man's place to cook and eat. Later, there may be an old lady who will buy rice. I promised him. She introduces someone and gives you ten. Jin meters."

"Okay, I remember." Huang Enquan responded.

Zhang Qianxiu went to buy some vegetables, because it was already in the afternoon. The meat was a piece of seven to one catty, and he bought three catties at a time. The other dishes were basically a few cents a catty.

When Zhang Qianxiu came back, he found that there were already five or six old ladies buying rice in the store. The old lady who Zhang Qianxiu had promised to give rice was standing aside cheerfully.

"Grandma, you are here!" Zhang Qianxiu said.

The old lady smiled and nodded: "Come on! Here! I introduced them all. They are all buying rice."

The old lady was reminding Zhang Qianxiu that she had to give her ten catties of rice alone.

Zhang Qianxiu smiled and said, "Then I will weigh you rice first. You want fifty catties, right?"

Here are five people introduced.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The old lady couldn't close her mouth with a smile. Can she be upset that she has earned 50 kilograms of rice so easily?

Zhang Qianxiu immediately called Zhang Jiankang and helped out weighing fifty catties of rice and putting it aside.

Zhang Qianxiu took out the membership registration book again and said to the old ladies and old ladies: "Dear old gentlemen and old ladies, we only offer packages for members here. The activities are free for members now, and no additional fees will be charged in the future. I will give Please register your information and have your name and address. You can buy rice in the future. Just say your name and we can send you rice to your door."

Perhaps because someone introduced them, these old men and women were happy to register immediately and become members for free.

There are two hundred catties of good rice, and 50 catties are given out. These old ladies bought 130 catties and mixed rice for 50 catties. They are all retired people from the unit, and they all have retirement salary, which is better than most. People's living conditions are better.

Zhang Qianxiu asked Huang Enquan to go to Shudetang to ride the bicycle.

Zhang Jiankang and Huang Enquan took five or six bags of rice on a bicycle.

A group of old men and old ladies followed happily. Buying rice is their problem. Now they are packaged for delivery, which makes them a lot easier.

When Huang Enquan and Zhang Jiankang came back, Zhang Qianxiu asked them to see the store, while he took the vegetables to the old Chinese doctor to cook.
