Yipin Farmer

Shoucang County is adjacent to Changping County, and enjoys the advantages of transportation. It is the place where medicinal materials from the north and the south are distributed. Most of the medicinal materials in this province are bought and sold here. Do not adjust prices easily.

The deacon's surname is Wei, and he also opened a drug store to manage raw materials, especially protecting the interests of his colleagues.Straightforwardly, he said to Ting Shuang who came to the door: "The state owns the state law, and the industry has its own rules. According to the rules of the drug industry, whoever pays the highest price will sell to whomever. This is the rule. I can't break the rules at will. Master An whose price is lower than that of Jishitang, there is no reason to sell it to you or not to him."

Baoqi reached into her pocket to take out something, looked at Ting Shuang, and then took out her hand again, to see if he looked calm, and couldn't figure out if he had any tricks.

"What are you going to do?" Bao Qi asked him when the two returned to the street.

Ting Shuang was very calm, without any signs of anxiety or anger, she just said: "Someone deliberately tricked me and didn't really buy medicine, so I naturally have a way to deal with it. Now what we have to do is..."

Baoqi smiled and said nothing, waiting for this guy to show another unexpected idea.

With an excited smile on Ting Shuang's face, she said to Bao Qi mysteriously, "We meet again after a long absence, shouldn't we celebrate?"

The smile on Baoqi's face deepened: "What do you want?"

Ting Shuang also smiled more happily: "There is something that makes people feel hot and sweaty after eating, and the pores of the whole body are very refreshing. You must like it. Do you want to eat it?"

Baoqi was taken aback, her breathing became rapid, her heart beat violently, and she swallowed. Sure enough, this separation made him see his heart clearly, and he was so bold that he invited himself to take that kind of medicine.

My God, my god, am I not hallucinating?Baoqi looked at him without blinking, with longing.

"Do you want to eat?" Ting Shuang continued to tease.

"Of course I want to." Baoqi nodded hurriedly like a chicken patting rice, "gudong" swallowed again, oh, sorry, the voice is a bit loud and not pure.

"Haha..." Ting Shuang burst into laughter, "I'm so greedy, I asked the concierge of the medicine store, and he said that there is a very good spicy hot pot restaurant not far from here, and the price is also reasonable."

Baoqi's face turned pale immediately, and she was on the verge of falling, and said, "What do you want to eat is hot pot?"

"Yeah, isn't this thing called hot pot in your hometown?" Ting Shuang saw the big change in his face, understood in her heart, and patted the shoulder generously: "Don't worry, I treat you, and you don't need to pay for it."

Bao Qi suppressed the bitter tears in her heart like a torrential river like the flood of the Yellow River, and finally followed someone to eat hot pot, clutching her tortured heart.

The waiter is like a juggler holding a kettle in one hand and a large tray in the other. On the plate are roasted duck, white chicken, fish fillets, vermicelli, mushrooms, cabbage, sugar and garlic dipping sauce. After setting up the dishes, pour the broth and light the fire and serve the wine.Ting Shuang didn't care about drinking, she held the spoon in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, and she still ate happily after being sucked by the spicy food.Baoqi kept cooking the meat and vegetables and putting them into his small dish. After eating the vegetables, he ate two sesame seed cakes, which was full and comfortable.

After eating the hot pot, the two returned to the inn. Ting Shuang fell asleep on the kang, Bao Qi looked at him, and suddenly sighed, when did this guy who eats like a hungry wolf and sleeps like a dead pig occupy himself? As for my heart, I have fallen into something evil, really.

Baoqi sighed, ready to twist a hot towel for him to wipe his face.

As soon as she got up, Ting Shuang snorted, took his hand, and called softly: "Xiaobao, don't, don't go..."

Baoqi's heart turned into a pool of spring water, she took his hand and rubbed it gently on her face, whispering softly: "I will never leave again."

A guy who eats like a wolf and sleeps like a pig hums again: "The rent...hasn't been paid yet..."

Baoqi's face trembled, and he threw his hand aside with a "slap", wishing to find a brick to slap the bastard to death, walked around silently on the ground twice, and finally brought a basin of hot water in and twisted the handle of the towel Wipe his face.

After a good night's sleep, Ting Shuang went to the pharmacy to participate in the bidding with high energy.

The deacon of the medicine store announced: "Now the auction of ephedra begins. Mr. Meng of Jingdetang bids for three yuan per catty. Who has a higher price? If not, the stock will be sold to Mr. Meng."

"Four dollars." A skinny fellow called out.

"Okay, Mr. An of Jishitang bids four yuan." Deacon Wei wrote down the price.

Ting Shuang had no choice but to add more: "Four cents and five cents."

Master An continued to increase the price: "Five dollars."

Ting Shuang added: "Six coins."

"Six cents and five cents."

Seeing that the price of ephedra has more than doubled that of previous years, An Lide still insists on Ting Shuang's price, which is always a little higher than him.Baoqi's complexion was so ugly that she almost turned into a little fire-breathing monster. Seeing Ting Shuang's normal face, she had to suppress her anger. The people around saw that Ting Shuang was as calm as a mountain, and couldn't figure out his strength, so they started whispering.

The two continued to bid, and seeing that the price had already reached [-] cents, it almost tripled and soared, and the discussions in the conference hall became more and more noisy.

"Nine coins."

An Lide quoted an astonishing price again, and everyone in the hall gasped in shock. This price is unprecedented.Looking at Ting Shuang again, he frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Okay, Jingdetang will quit."

"What?" The people in the hall discussed more loudly, and finally one side lost.

But Ji Shitang's face changed greatly, and he said anxiously: "Mr. Meng, why don't you add it?"

"If you don't have this strength, you will naturally admit defeat." Ting Shuang patted the corner of her robe and stood up. "I can't compete with you, this product is naturally yours."

Master An was even more anxious: "Hey, don't go, we can discuss it, you can add a little more, and you will win."

"Not at all." Ting Shuang replied harshly, and took Baoqi directly out of the medicine guild hall and back to the inn.

Baoqi didn't know much about the business world, but he was very smart and saw some tricks. Ting Shuang gave up and quit at the last moment. In fact, he used retreat as a counterattack to squeeze those who squeezed him. I don't know if Ji Shitang will choke to death if he swallows this batch of medicine.

"Swallowing this batch of medicine at this price will probably hurt his liver and flesh. This is called shooting himself in the foot." Baoqi smiled gloatingly, and suddenly thought of a question, "If he regrets and doesn't want it?" What about this batch of medicine?"

Ting Shuang sneered: "What do you think the medicine trade guild is for? Will you let him do this? If he is so rebellious, he will not even think about buying medicine in the medicine trade association in the future."

"You are so cruel."

"It was he who had bad intentions first, so don't blame me for being cruel." Ting Shuang imitated Master Xing with a smirk, "The person pretending to be my family's signboard to do business is to make more money, not to punish me. It's human nature to be greedy for petty gain. Tolerance. But raising the price like this is clearly intended to squeeze me out, so I will not be polite, and I am not Jesus, so I can forgive everyone."

"Jesus? Who?"

"A saint who forgave his persecutors."

"how about you?"

"I can't do it." Ting Shuang said simply, "I can only forgive those who have no malicious intentions."

Baoqi hesitated for a moment, and said: "If someone cheats you, but he has no ill intentions towards you and no bad consequences, you can forgive him, right?"

"It's okay to say that, but I'd be upset if someone I trusted lied to me."

Baoqi opened her mouth, swallowed the following words, and said, "If the surname An refuses to buy these medicines, what will the guild do?"

"We'll find out in the evening, just wait." Ting Shuang took a sip of tea in her spare time, thinking about what to have for dinner, "Shall we go to that place for hot pot?"

"I don't want to eat." Baoqi refused flatly, feeling angry when he mentioned the hot pot.

Sure enough, when the two of them returned to the inn after dinner, they saw Deacon Wei from the Pharmacy Guild anxiously waiting at the door of the inn.

"I don't know what to teach Master Wei here?" Ting Shuang pretended not to know, and asked him sincerely.

"I'm here to ask you to accept that batch of ephedra." Deacon Wei wiped off the sweat from his brow, and Ji Shitang became the winner of the bidding, but Mr. An refused to pay and receive the goods at the bid price. Wei The deacon was so angry that he scolded him for being dishonest, and he regretted the agreed price. How could he explain to his peers? They chose him as a deacon of the guild because they trusted him to fight for the interests of the peers. He went back on his word, bought the goods without sincerity and paid such a high price, how could such a thing happen, and had no choice but to find Ting Shuang again and ask him to accept the goods at the original price.

But Ting Shuang picked up the shelf and said: "My capital is meager, and it is difficult to get so many medicines in turnover, unless it is based on last year's price, two cents and seven cents."

"How is this possible?" Deacon Wei refused, "When you came, you said you were willing to pay three dollars."

"Now I change my mind, can't I?"

Deacon Wei wanted to bargain again, and Baoqi was not happy: "Don't all of you who sell medicine hang a pair of pairs in front of the door, saying something: 'I hope the world is free from illness, and I would rather put the medicine on the shelf to make dust." Ping County was just hit by an earthquake, and the epidemic was spreading. In order to save the people, the Meng family bought medicines and distributed them to the poor. The right pair, can you be worthy of your conscience? Don't you have a guilty conscience?"

"What?" Deacon Wei was surprised, "Jingdetang sells medicine at a low price to control the epidemic, and donates it to the poor and sick?"

"Yes, they are all in the business of medicinal materials. Some people have the intention of saving people, while others have the intention of greed. It is too much."

"I see." Deacon Wei said the difficulty. This year's spring drought has somewhat affected the production of medicinal materials. The price is discussed among peers, and it is not easy to fluctuate at will.

Ting Shuang wanted to open a pharmacy in the future and had to make long-term contacts with the Shoucang County Pharmacy Guild. She didn't want to have a stalemate in the first meeting, so she agreed to buy the goods at the original price, and Deacon Wei agreed to send a car to start the shipment immediately.

After everything was settled, Tingshuang and Baoqi returned to Changping County. Baoqi was a little worried: "After returning to the city, do you plan to continue selling at the original price?"

"Everyone has accepted the previous price of Wuhou Fenghan San. If the price is raised now, it may not be good."

"This way you lose a lot."

"Losing some money now, earning a good reputation, it's all counted, and it can't be regarded as a loss. Benefits are not only visible benefits. You can't just look at immediate benefits when doing business, you have to take a long-term perspective." Ting Shuang still Stick to what you do. "I'm still thinking of other ways?"

"What is it?"

"I'm not completely sure yet, I have to investigate before I can say."

Ting Shuang had an idea. In order to be more sure, he did not go back to the city, but went back to the village to investigate and study.

Everything in the village is normal. Xiaoye and Aunt Liu are at home and manage the house in an orderly manner. When Xiaolan sees her elder brother coming back, she flies over like a bird with her arms outstretched.Ting Shuang still hugged her and threw her up before catching her.

"Xiaolan, be good, did you get sick from sleeping outside in the thatched shed in such a cold day?"

"It's a bit cold, but there is no frostbite."

"What about the rest of the family?"

"Also very good."

Ting Shuang was very satisfied, and made sure again: "The water in the well has no strange smell, right?"

"On the day of the earthquake, there was a smell and I turned the bubbles," Xiaolan recalled earnestly, adding, "It disappeared two days later, just like before."

Baoqi understood Tingshuang's intention immediately, and asked, "Do you think well water can prevent diseases?"

"Our well and pond water are the same water source. The fruit trees in the yard bear more and sweeter fruits, and the vegetables are better than those in other homes. Even the dying peony has bloomed, which shows that the pond water has a miraculous effect." Shuang conjectured, "Everyone had to sleep outside in such a cold day. The second child and a young man fell ill, but Xiaolan didn't fall ill. It's strange. I think it's because he drank well water."

"You want to bring water into the city?"

"Correct."

Ting Shuang and Bao Qi rested at home for the night, and rode back to the city early the next morning. When they arrived at Caigenxiang Restaurant, Ting Hui came up to report that the medicinal materials from Shoucang County had been delivered.

"It's really fast." Ting Shuang was very happy.

"That's right, they heard that we were in urgent need of medicinal materials due to the disaster, so they rushed over here. The total is [-] catties, and Fifth Brother Zhang is already inspecting the goods..."

"Stop." Ting Shuang felt that the count was wrong, "Where did I buy so much, I only bought [-] catties, did you count wrong?"

"The boss who delivered the goods said it was [-] catties, and I haven't had time to count it just after it was delivered."

Ting Shuang was even more surprised. He went to the backyard to watch people count, and it was indeed [-] catties, not [-] catties.

How is this going?Ting Shuang was looking for the delivery person to ask, but the delivery person came to the door in person.
