Chapter 11: three conditions
Chapter 11 Three Conditions
Lu Zong took a rest at noon. The boy from the inn knocked on the door and said that a young man was looking for him downstairs.
Yin Zheng was ecstatic, suppressed the joy on her face, and walked downstairs slowly. When she saw Du Changqing, she raised her chin reservedly and said, "My girl is dressing up. Please wait a moment, sir."
Du Changqing smiled gently: "There's no rush."
God knows that in order to find Lu Huan, he searched all the inns nearby that sounded similar. After finally finding this place, the shopkeeper said that there were indeed two young girls staying here. Du Changqing was almost moved to tears.
He recited several times in his mind that parents should be respectful in food and clothing, and finally calmed down.
About half the time for the incense stick, Lu Zhen went downstairs.
Today she was wearing a dark blue algae pattern embroidered cloth skirt. Her black hair was gathered into thin braids and tied loosely behind her head. She only had a delphinium flower of the same color on her temple hairpin. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and her snow-skinned black hair. At first glance, It makes people feel peaceful.
Du Changqing was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, went up to meet her and said, "Girl."
Lu Zhen looked at him.
Du Changqing looked around and smiled at Lu Huan: "It's noisy here. If you don't mind, girl, there is a tea stall next door. Let's sit down in front of the tea stall and chat while drinking tea."
Lu Huo nodded: "Okay."
People in Shengjing love to drink tea, and there are teahouses everywhere. Not far from Laiyi Inn, there is a street full of tea stalls. Du Changqing selected the one with the smallest stall and asked Lu Chen to sit down.
This tea stall is very small. There are only two tables set up in the shop, and they are already full at the moment. Du Changqing and Lu Tong sat down at a small table outside the tea stall. Not long after, the owner brought two bowls of tea and a plate of red melon seeds.
Du Changqing pushed the tea in front of Lu Yan, and his tone was completely different from the warm tone when they first met. He asked: "Du Changqing, do you dare to ask the girl her name?"
)
“It turns out to be Miss Lu.” Du Changqing nodded pretendingly and rubbed his hands again, “Miss Lu, I think you have already guessed the reason why I came here...”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Du." Lu Yan said calmly: "It is inconvenient to use fire in the inn. I will no longer make puhuang charcoal."
Du Changqing choked.
Yin Zheng behind him burst out laughing.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Du Changqing's face. After a moment, he coughed lightly: "Miss Lu, I didn't come here for Puhuangtan today. That herbal tea of yours..." He leaned forward and lowered his voice. , “Can you sell me more?”
Lu Zong picked up the porcelain bowl on the table, moistened his lips, and asked softly: "How much silver does Mr. Du plan to pay?"
Du Changqing stared at her: "One tael of silver. Miss Lu, how about selling me your herbal tea for one tael of silver a pack?"
One pack of herbal tea can only be consumed for six or seven days at most, and one tael of silver per pack is considered very high.
Lu Zong smiled.
Du Changqing asked: "Why is Miss Lu laughing?"
Lu Zhuo shook his head, his voice still calm and calm: "It seems that Mr. Du doesn't really want to do this business with me. I saw that there is Xinglin Hall not far from Renxin Medical Center. The family has a big business, so maybe it can be more Give some."
She returned Du Changqing's original words intact, but Du Changqing suddenly changed his expression.
After a pause, Du Changqing gritted his teeth and said, "Can Miss Lu tell me the number?"
Lu Xu: "Three taels of silver per bag."
“It’s so expensive!” Du Changqing jumped up and shouted, “Why don’t you grab it?”
Lu Zhuo raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
The Luoyue River passes through the city, and smokey willows are planted on both sides of the city. It is spring, the willows are flying, the orioles are singing and the swallows are dancing.
She looked away and looked at the excited Du Changqing and said, "Master Du, Yang Hua from Shengjing will have to fly for a while, right?"
Du Changqing frowned: "So what?" "If the master's medical clinic can provide herbal tea, at least in the next two or three months, no one will ask for it."
Du Changqing was stunned.
Lu Zhen smiled slightly.
She had already noticed it when she first arrived in Shengjing. The banks of the river that runs through the city of Shengjing are covered with long willows, and catkins are flying in the spring. It is inevitable that some people will be disturbed by the suffocation of their noses. At that time, people also loved to drink tea, so it was made into medicinal tea, which was more acceptable.
"As long as the poplar flowers are flying, the medicinal tea can be sold for as long as it lasts. My medicinal tea is effective in relieving nasal congestion, but it cannot completely cure it. Until next year, the previous customers will come again. I make a lot of money every March, Mr. Du's Renxin Medical Center will not be in such a precarious situation as it is now."
Du Changqing's words were stagnant when he reached his mouth, as if Lu Zhuo was talking about the most secret pain point.
Lu Yan is not in a hurry. If Du Changqing wants to maintain the medical clinic's livelihood, he must find an irreplaceable business in the shortest possible time. Nasal Suffocation Medicinal Tea was the only life-saving straw he could grasp.
People will always give in without principle when faced with a life-saving straw.
After a long silence, Du Changqing finally spoke. He looked at Lu Shu and said slowly: "Miss Lu has a good idea, but if other medical clinics learn how to make herbal tea, what chance does Renxin Medical Clinic have?"
Lu Chen smiled when he heard this: "Regardless of whether others can learn my herbal tea, why don't Mr. Du think about it, if I can make a herbal tea for nasal congestion, wouldn't I be able to make other herbal teas?"
Du Changqing was stunned.
He looked at Lu Yun suspiciously: "Did you make that herbal tea yourself? Impossible. You are so young, maybe you have a doctor in your family who knows how to heal? Or did you accidentally get the recipe from somewhere else?"
He kept guessing and guessing, but Lu Huo smiled and said nothing.
Seeing that Lu Shun still had no intention of letting go, Du Changqing was a little frustrated. He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. After thinking for a while, he said calmly: "To be honest, Miss Lu, I am very tempted by what you said. But the money you want is real. It’s too much. How about…a little lower?”
Yin Zheng had a look of disdain on his face.
Lu Zhen looked at the tea bowl in front of her and said nothing for a while. After a while, she looked at Du Changqing and said, "Mr. Du, I can make herbal tea for you. You will take all the money. I won't take any penny."
Du Changqing looked at her in surprise.
“However, I have a few conditions.”
Du Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and said cheerfully: "You should have told me earlier, Miss Lu, what conditions do you have?"
“First, I make herbal tea for Renxin Medical Center. Mr. Du provides the ingredients. I have the final say on how much we make every day.”
Du Changqing frowned: "Isn't this bad?"
“After all, Mr. Du will not suffer any loss.”
"But…"
Yin Zheng interjected: "My girl doesn't accept Mr. Du's money, which means she gives him money for free. In this business without capital, Mr. Du won't lose any money no matter what, so why are you so fussy about it?"
Du Changqing held his breath and said: "What about the second condition?"
“Yin Zheng and I have come to Shengjing for the first time and have nowhere to stay. I would like Mr. Du to help us find a place to live, and we will guarantee food and accommodation.”
Du Changqing opened his eyes wide and looked at the two of them like monsters: "Are you from outside the city? Two girls came to Beijing alone? Don't you have any acquaintances in Shengjing?"
Lu Chen didn't answer his words, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea. When he raised his head again, he smiled and said, "I heard that at Shengjing Medical Center, the most common doctor among the doctors in the hospital is given two taels of silver per month. "
Du Changqing nodded without knowing why: "Yes, what's the matter?"
“I want to be a doctor at Renxin Medical Center. This is the third condition,” she said.
