Chapter 916 Enlightenment

Saturday Lang and Datou lowered their heads together.

When old Zhou Tou saw his youngest son like that, he became very angry. He went to touch his shoes, but couldn't help his temper.

Qian gave him a sideways glance and said: "There is no rush, let the children find it themselves, if not, after a few years, we will make a decision directly."

Qian looked at Saturday Lang and said, "Do you want to take a look for yourself, or will the family make it for you?"

When facing his father, Liu Liulang could make jokes and escape, but he didn't have the guts to face his mother, so he weighed it up and said, "I, let me see for myself."

"You are about to win the crown. I will give you three years. After three years, even if you don't like it, I will choose a wife for you."

Saturday Lang lowered his head in response.

No one dared to express their opinions when Mrs. Qian spoke. In the past few years, Mrs. Qian's power in the family has become more and more important.

Mrs. Qian made a final decision, "Let the fifth child follow. The eldest and third child must stay at home to take care of the fields, and the medicinal materials on the mountain cannot be left alone. The second child will follow the fourth child to take the shopkeepers of those medicine shops in Yizhou City. Once you are familiar with it, next year I will hand over the job to the second child, and the fourth child will go to the capital to replace the fifth child."

Zhou Zhoulang happily promised: "Mother, I am also very good at managing the shop. When I go to the capital, I will definitely manage the shop well."

Man Bao: "It's better to let Lijun take care of it, you don't know how to take care of accounts."

Zhou Zhoulang was unhappy, "Leave it to Erya, then I'll go to the capital to eat rice."

"You continue to sell medicinal materials," Man Bao said, "The medicinal materials in Yizhou City are more expensive than those in Luojiang County, and the medicinal materials in Beijing City must be more expensive than those in Yizhou City."

"That won't work." Zhou Lang is not stupid, he doesn't even need to count on his fingers to know that it is not worth it, "I can transport the medicinal materials at home to Yizhou City in one day, but how many days will it take to transport to the capital? No food or accommodation on the way You don’t have to pay taxes? The road is so long and you’ll be robbed, so it’s going to cost you a lot. No matter how high the price of medicine in the capital is, it’s not going to be much higher, so I don’t want to do this kind of business that loses money.”

Man Bao has been in Jishitang for more than a year, and has seen all kinds of drug farmers and drug dealers. She had doubts in her heart a long time ago. Unfortunately, when it comes to drug dealers and drug farmers, Old Zheng is not willing to communicate with her too much. supplier.

But Manbao is smart, and there is a Keke with a wealth of knowledge in her mind. She asks it if she doesn't understand it, and scans the encyclopedia if it doesn't know, so Manbao figured out the doorway.

Years ago, she watched her fourth brother deliver fresh ginger, sun-dried ginger, processed Ligustrum lucidum and yam slices to Yizhou City, and she wanted to have a talk with him.

It's just that there were too many things to do when I went home for the New Year, and she forgot about it before it stayed in her heart for too long. Now that she thought about it, she put on a posture and wanted to chat with him.

"Fourth brother, do you think the drug farmers are richer, or the drug dealers are richer?"

"Nonsense, of course it's a drug dealer."

Man Bao: "Then do you know that Jishitang is not only a pharmacy, but also one of the largest pharmacies in Dajin?"

Zhou Zhoulang nodded, and then shook his head again. Of course he knew that Ji Shitang was in the business of medicinal materials and was a medicine merchant, but he really didn't know that it was one of the largest medicine merchants in Dajin.

Man Baodao: "Now our family is just a drug farmer in the eyes of Ji Shitang. Although our family's medicinal materials are not only sold to Ji Shitang, but also to other drug stores in Yizhou City, this kind of output is a drug farmer. I I have seen that at the end of the year, many people deliberately left ginger pieces in the field, and after another year it would become old ginger. At the beginning of the year, some people came to the house and asked for the seeds and branches of Ligustrum lucidum. Is it planted?"

Zhou Zhoulang looked up at the first three brothers.

Zhou Zhoulang nodded, "A lot of people have asked, mother asked us to give them all, and even taught them how to plant."

Tuesday Lang said: "There are also people from other villages who sneaked up the mountain and broke a lot of our branches and damaged a lot of our trees. At the beginning of the year, my eldest brother and I went up the mountain to guard for a while."

Man Bao said: "Think about it, if so many branches and seeds are left out, if they don't show up this year, other people will compete with us for business one after another next year. In the year after, the year after, the village and nearby villages There will only be more and more privet seeds, and when the time comes, will our family’s privet seeds still sell for a price in Yizhou City?"

Zhou Lang, who was already very experienced in doing business, shook his head again and again.

"Not only our family's privets can't be sold, but other people's privets may not be sold either. What will we do then?"

Thursday Lang: "What should I do?"

"If a drug dealer comes to offer five or six yuan a catty at that time, will you sell it?"

Zhou Zhoulang's eyes widened, "How is this possible? Now a catty of good Ligustrum lucidum is worth sixty-five cash, and he won't even give me a fraction?"

"But Yizhou City, Luojiang County and the surrounding counties and towns are not short of privet fruit medicine? The pharmacy buys it back, and the patients who need to use privet fruit are limited. They can't pile up the medicinal materials in the warehouse to get damp, right? "Man Bao asked: "Just ask you, do you sell five or six yuan a catty or not?"

Zhou Zhoulang hesitated, and Zhou Wulang said, "Not for sale!"

Man Bao looked at Zhou Wulang.

Wu Wulang said: "I would rather make manure in the dung heap than sell it."

Old Zhou Tou couldn't help but turned his head and said to Qian: "This is really a prodigal kid."

Qian Shi also hesitated and said: "I can't sell it, just give a small change, it's better not to sell it."

Old Zhou said: "It's a little if you can earn a little."

Zhou Zhoulang also nodded, "Yes, a little bit is a little bit."

Man Bao nodded, and didn't say who made the right choice, but said: "So, in order not to make Ligustrum lucidum sell for five or six coins a catty, and not make it only compost, we have to buy it from another family's female virginity." Before Sadako comes out, look for other outlets. The capital is a good place."

Man Bao said: "What is a drug farmer and what is a drug dealer?"

"Pharmaceutical farmers are people who can only wait for the price of traditional Chinese medicine sold by drug dealers, and drug dealers are people who can influence the price of medicines," Man Bao said: "To put it bluntly, in the future there will be drug dealers who will come to the door to suppress the villagers' medicines. Price, there is a road we opened, everyone has a chance to fight back."

"People charge ten yuan for the price of medicine, and we can charge twenty yuan. After buying the medicine and transporting it to the capital, even if we can only earn three or four yuan per catty, that is still a profit. Anyway, the price of our medicine is still ours. Forget it, it won’t be completely passive.”

Everyone in the old Zhou's family was stunned when they heard it. Most of them didn't understand, but some people became thoughtful.

Man Bao patted his butt and got up and said: "Anyway, you have a lot of men now, don't you, so next year when you go to Beijing to change Fifth Brother, you can take them to Beijing and walk on the road together."

Zhou Zhoulang said with a sad face: "It costs a lot of money on the road."
