Yipin Farmer

Ting Shuang prepared some medicinal materials in preparation for opening a pharmacy, but it was not enough, so she sent the Monkey Man and Li Liugen to buy the above medicinal materials according to the prescription, and went back to the village to buy the medicinal materials saved by the villagers.

The disaster in the village was not as severe as in the city. The brick houses were not damaged, but some of the adobe houses that had been in disrepair collapsed. The chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep also returned to calm. Did not stay in the house, not many people were injured.

The villagers rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and they often go to the mountains to collect herbs during the slack season. Many people also have some medicinal materials, but not many.You can't buy it in the city either. It is conceivable that the price of buying medicinal materials at this time will not be cheap.Ting Shuang took out all her savings and ordered Chen Guang, Ping An, and the monkey-playing man, Xiao Ye, to buy medicinal materials from neighboring counties in two ways.

A group of people processed day and night, and finally made [-] bottles in a few days. After the finished product was finished, Ting Hui was the first to try it. That night, he felt that the symptoms were relieved a lot. Ting Hui was beaming with joy: "Brother, we I'm going to get rich."

"How to get rich?" Ting Shuang knew what was going on in his mind, but didn't reveal it, let's see what he planned.

Ting Hui's plan is to sell the anti-plague medicine while the epidemic is prevalent, and it will definitely sell for a good price.

Sure enough, this kid had this plan, Ting Shuang shook his head: "No, we can't make money at this time."

"Why?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Think about it yourself." Ting Shuang asked Ting Hui to use his brain to figure out how to do business in a longer term.

In the past, when Ting Shuang launched new dishes, pastries, and fresh fruits, they would send them to acquaintances or old customers first, saying: "This is our new product, please taste it. Take care."

But you can’t use this method when selling medicines. You can try fresh fruit and cakes, but you can’t take medicines indiscriminately, and no one will take them for free.So Ting Shuang set up two big pots in the front hall of the restaurant, cooked hot porridge, and gave it to the poor.Those poor people were short of food and clothing in winter, and it was even more difficult after the earthquake. Every winter, the county government and rich families gave these poor people porridge and cotton clothes, so as to prevent them from starving to death and to gain a good name for themselves.

Ting Shuang's principle is to pay attention to methods to do good deeds, that is, to do good deeds and to gain fame, which is a good way.So he also gave away porridge. Unlike others, every poor person who receives porridge will get a elixir from the restaurant. The porcelain bottle is burnt with the sign of Jingde Hall. Ting Shuang named this medicine Wu Mu Feng Han San, It is said that it was used by Yue Fei during the Northern Expedition. The soldiers who used it were not afraid of the wind and cold at all, and rarely got sick. Because people here worship Yue Fei, so borrowing the celebrity effect, no one will ask whether Yue Fei invented this medicine or not.

After the earthquake, although the food was not damaged, the drinking water was no longer safe. Most of the well water in the city was muddy and smelly. Tingshuang asked the county magistrate to issue a notice asking people to clean the water before boiling it for drinking. The same is true for drinking water, but rich people can still do this. Many poor people don't even have firewood, so how can they boil water?Coupled with the freezing weather, although Ting Shuang assisted the county magistrate to take some preventive measures, the epidemic still spread slowly, but it was not serious enough.

However, none of the poor people who had received porridge and medicine at the Caigenxiang restaurant had contracted the epidemic, and this phenomenon attracted the attention of the whole city.

"Brother, can we make money this time?" Ting Hui began to look forward to a bright future. Facts have proved that the medicine is very effective and has attracted the attention of the whole city.Silver and copper coins are beckoning, wow ha ha...

But Ting Shuang still shook his head: "It's not time to make money yet." Seeing Ting Hui's puzzlement, she explained to him: "Now that the earthquake has just passed and people's hearts are still in panic, isn't it true that we are taking advantage of the epidemic to make huge profits at this time?" It is not worthwhile for people to call us black-hearted, and lose our good reputation after making money."

"What do you mean, continue to be famous?"

"Yes, the whole city is still suffering from disasters. It is too heartless for us to make disaster fortunes at this time, and the good reputation before is completely ruined. No amount of money can buy back a good reputation. When the earthquake disaster is completely over, Our brand is well established and we have a good reputation, so how much money will we make in the future? Do we have to take advantage of the fire and rob people to scold us?"

Ting Hui thought for a while, and accepted his business experience, and said: "So, we still need to continue to gain fame, sell medicines at a low price, and make money after the disaster. That is, it is cost-effective to earn money and a good reputation."

"That's right, that's the reason."

Slowly, the Meng family's new medicine showed good results, and more and more people came to buy the medicine. Tingshuang still insisted on selling it at a low price and not making a profit, and gave it away to those who were poor, sick and had no money to buy medicine. Many people felt that He was stupid enough to give up such a good opportunity to make money, but he still won the praise and praise of most people in the city.

Why most and not all, because this approach will inevitably damage the interests of some people.

It's not that everyone is unwilling to make disaster fortunes. Ting Shuang sells medicines at a low price, which thwarts some people's attempts to raise the price of medicines. Source to start with.

Ping An, who was sent to a neighboring county to buy medicine, came back annoyed, but did not bring back the urgently needed medicinal materials. He said that someone bought ephedra at a high price, and the price of the medicine could not be lowered after raising it. Without the key medicinal material of ephedra, Wumu Fenghan San could not continue to produce , Ting Hui proposed to switch to other medicines instead.

"No." Ting Shuang resolutely objected. Even if no one saw it when making the medicine, you can't secretly replace it with other medicines. Even if the medicine is not harmful, it will kill the patient if it doesn't work and delays the disease. brand.

"However, Curry's medicine is only enough to last three or four days." Brother Zhang Wu, who controlled the medicine, reported the serious problem at hand.

Shi Jie, who has a lot of contacts in the city, told him that it was An Lide from Jishitang Pharmacy in the east of the city who ordered people to go to Shoucang County near Shoucang County to raise the price of the main medicinal materials, trying to squeeze him.

The family is worried, and the pharmacy has been squeezed by peers before it officially opened. What should we do in the future?What should we do with the difficulties in front of us?

Ting Shuang didn't know what to do either. Although he was often creative and informal in solving difficult problems, he was not good at dealing with complicated personnel affairs. He had to follow the situation. For example, he didn't know how to deal with the aftermath of an earthquake. When he had never seen an earthquake and didn't know what to do, he could only stand up and use the little knowledge he saw on TV in his previous life and combine the power of the masses to do things and minimize losses as much as possible.

He doesn't know what to do in the current predicament, but the matter has already begun and must be done to the end. The whole family is counting on him. He can't show a helpless look on his face, and he has to pretend to be confident. In his dictionary There are sadness, confusion, looking at the sky at 45 degrees, pretending to be lonely, and taking advantage of legal loopholes, but there is no word "retreat".At most, it is a strategic retreat based on Chairman Mao's theory, a roundabout outflank in another direction, and finally win the opponent's hill, and use a strategic retreat in exchange for the final advance and victory.

Ting Shuang waved her hand very boldly: "It's okay, I will go to Shoucang County to buy medicine in person, and I will definitely buy it back."

Seeing that he was so confident and optimistic, everyone swept away their sorrows and prepared medicine jars for him to come back.

Ting Shuang took all the money and set off on the road.After leaving the city gate, I was shivered by the bone-piercing cold wind. I looked up to see the snowflakes falling in the sky, and there was a wild wine shop on the side of the road. Shed, set up a few wooden boards, place a bench horizontally, place two large wine vats, sit a pot of hot water on the stove to scald the wine at any time, and the only food for the wine is salted beans, boiled peanuts, pickled eggs and tofu. It is a favorite place for travelers. Seeing Xiaoye Wine Shop means that the city gate is approaching and the journey has reached the stop.A few people sat around the wine tank, chewed a few peanuts and drank two cups of wine. They came and went hurriedly finished their drinks and went on the road, rushing to the next stop. It was a warm place.

Ting Shuang bought a gourd of wine in the past, drank a few sips to warm her body, and felt emotional again for a while. Looking back on the past, it was really like a dream. Every time it came to a turning point, natural disasters and man-made disasters would occur, and the development of her career would stumble, but It doesn't matter, the development of things is always an upward spiral, and the road will not be smooth.

But I really want to yell, God damn it, I just want to be a peaceful farmer, and I don't want to take on the great responsibility of heaven, so don't you always work hard on my heart and my bones, can you do it! ! !

After sighing, he wanted to plagiarize something, and sang in a voice that Baoqi called a donkey's bray: "The heavy snow is falling, hitting people's faces, and the fresh wind is blowing to the bone,

The clouds are low and the mountains and rivers are dark, the sparse forests are desolate and withered,

The past is lingering and difficult to get rid of, and the barren village sells wine to comfort the sorrow..."

A familiar voice came from behind with a smile: "Why bother?"

Ting Shuang was shocked and her heart was beating wildly. It took a long time before she dared to turn around and saw a man standing in the snow, his figure was as tall and straight as a bamboo repairing the wind, his face was as handsome as a mid-autumn moon, his eyes were like morning stars, and his hair was like ink dyed. , dressed in plain white clothes, against his youthful face is actually very seductive, as expected, the heavens are extra tolerant to creatures like beauties.

The moment Ting Shuang saw him, for some reason, she suddenly recalled the first time they met in Huzichang. He held a hard bow in his hand and shot his incense head like a god descending from the earth. Suddenly, everything in the world of mortals could not be seen, and only him was in his eyes. Hundreds of worries and thousands of thoughts turned into one idea:.

strangle him...

Ting Shuang has always been an actionist who combines theory with practice, and immediately rushed over with his arms stretched out.

Baoqi knew every single hair of his body, so she would not regard the movement of him opening her arms towards her as an affectionate hug, but curled up her neck in a timely manner.

Naturally, Ting Shuang wouldn't have nowhere to start because he shrank his neck, grabbed him and shook him violently: "Your grandfather, where did he die? Do you know how worried I am?"

Although she was dizzy from being shaken, the last sentence still made the peach blossoms in Baoqi's heart bloom in the wind and snow. Apart from worrying about the situation in Beijing, she also had a vague purpose when she left, which was to try to forget this relationship with a bleak future. He's just a small farmer, he's not worth worrying about for a noble person like him.

It's just that Baoqi has been arrogant since she was a child. He doesn't know that when a person tries to use separation to forget someone, he can't forget it.

After hearing about the earthquake in Changping County, he had completely forgotten what he was going to do. He only had one thought, which was to go back quickly, find that person, and never leave again, although he knew that this person was very strong and did not need his protection.

Ting Shuang shouted for a while and calmed down. Baoqi quickly rescued her neck from his claws and said, "I met a man who said he was my father's old friend and wanted to take me home..."

Ting Shuang hurriedly asked: "You went home? Did you find your family?"

"I found it, and everything is fine. I heard that there was an earthquake here soon. I was worried about you, so..."

The unspoken words contained indescribable longing. Baoqi's voice was warm and clear, and Ting Shuang's heart softened. This familiar smell was Baoqi's smell, which surrounded him like gentle water.

Ting Shuang reached out and hugged him, and said emotionally, "Good brother, you are very loyal."

Baoqi's cheeks twitched, she really wanted to grab the snow from the ground and hit him on the head, you are a good fucking brother, your whole family is a good brother.

Baoqi went to the city to look for him but didn't meet him, and heard about his current predicament, and now they finally meet again outside the city, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Ting Shuang took his hand, feeling full of strength again, and said boldly: "Xiongguan Road is as long as iron, and now I am stepping forward from the beginning. From the beginning, the Cangshan Mountain is like the sea, and the setting sun is like blood."

Baoqi was also infected, so she held his hand instead, and the two ran happily.

After a while, tired from running, a beautiful white horse followed, and Baoqi rode on it gracefully, even more majestic, but Ting Shuang was riding a short donkey, and she felt very shameless, so she stabbed the arrogant guy with a sharp eye knife, Tried to poke him down.

Baoqi turned her head and smiled brightly, stretched out her hand and pulled him to immediately hug his waist from behind. Ting Shuang still felt that her self-esteem was hurt and her image of a stalwart omnipotent time traveler, so she struggled hard.

Baoqi exerted a little force on her arms, hugged him tightly in her arms, held his hand, and said very seriously: "Don't carry everything alone, remember, when you are tired, there is still a place to rely on." Lean on."
