Chapter 112 Chapter 112 Old Friend
The real estate agent that Lin Cheng made an appointment with was his cousin. This person was Old Lin - yes, that's right, the same Old Lin who found the factory for Shu Niannian.
In line with the principle of trusting people when employing them and not employing people if you don't trust them, Shu Niannian did not interfere in the matter of finding a store. Even though she knew Lao Lin, Shu Niannian just greeted Lao Lin and left the space to Lin Cheng.
Shu Niannian planned the 300-square-meter store in this way: she wanted to divide the 300 square meters into two parts, half to sell Qingyan facial cream, and the other half to sell various health products.
Opening a health care store was also what Shu Niannian had been doing in her previous life, but her health was seriously damaged in her previous life and she didn't have the energy to expand the store. The purpose of opening a health care store was not to make money, but to regulate her body.
It can be said that the reason why Shu Niannian's broken body was able to survive for so many years in her previous life was largely because she made a lot of health pills.
Shu Niannian has a lot of ancient prescriptions in her hands, which she memorized from Shu Chengzu's medical books since she was a child. In her previous life, she successfully extended her life for many years with the help of these ancient prescriptions, and also accumulated a lot of wealth for herself.
Shaking her head, getting rid of the gradually blurred memories of her previous life, Shu Niannian went to the largest Chinese medicine store in Haicheng facing the morning sunshine.
Shu Niannian was also very familiar with this place. In her previous life, the raw materials for the traditional Chinese medicine products she sold were all bought from here. Smelling the various mixed medicinal aromas, Shu Niannian followed her memory and walked to an inconspicuous traditional Chinese medicine shop. She did not see the man in the green gown in her memory, but saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl arguing with a middle-aged fat woman with her neck stiff.
"Get out of here! Who are you, Second Aunt? You are obviously a shameless vampire! When you kicked me and my father out of the house, you said it very clearly that from now on, our two families would have no contact. I still have the document of breaking off the relationship, and your handprint is on it. How can you be so shameless? You lost all your family fortune in gambling, and now you want to take advantage of your poor relatives? Bah! Dream on! Get out! Get out now! If you don't, I'll throw shit at you!"
The fat woman Zhang Danniu's face turned blue and red. She felt embarrassed to be scolded by a little girl in front of so many people, but she couldn't just run away, nor could she catch this damn girl and beat her up. She could only endure it!
Their family is out of rice now. If they don’t bring money back today, they will have to eat cold water for meals.
But Zhang Da Nv was not to be trifled with. Although she came here to beg for money, she could not bear to be bullied. She rolled up her sleeves and scolded back, "You little bitch whose mother died and no one loves you, how can you talk to your second aunt like that? You have no manners at all! I tell you, we are a family, and we are connected even if our bones are broken. Our poverty is equivalent to your poverty, and our hunger is equivalent to your hunger. You have to give the money today, whether you want to or not! I can't argue with you! When your father comes back, he will naturally give the money to me! You'd better keep your mouth shut, or I'll tear your mouth to pieces if you scold me again!"
Seeing that Zhang Da Nv refused to leave, Li Shaoyao picked up a stick as thick as a bowl from the wall and started hitting her. Zhang Da Nv was so scared when she saw the stick coming towards her head with great force that she quickly ran away. She really didn't expect that this damn girl Li Shaoyao would really dare to hit her!
Li Shaoyao kept driving Zhang Danniu out of the herbal medicine store with a stick in her hand, and then she came back angrily with the stick in her hand. She didn't want to fight. Every time she beat Zhang Danniu, the herbal medicine store would have no business for several days. There was no other way. None of the customers wanted to deal with a herbal medicine store that was always full of fights and quarrels. After all, there were so many herbal medicine stores in the market, and who couldn't buy herbs from them?
So, when Li Shaoyao came back and saw a beautiful young lady with waist-length hair, beautiful appearance and exquisite clothes standing at the door, she went to greet her with shining eyes like a puppy seeing a meat bone. Fearing that she might offend the customer, Li Shaoyao quickly put the stick against the wall and rubbed her hands on the clothes behind her before going forward to talk to Shu Niannian. She laughed dryly and said awkwardly, "Excuse me, what kind of medicinal herbs do you want? Although our herbal medicine shop has a small frontage, we have a complete range of medicinal herbs. Can you come in and take a look?"
Shu Niannian smiled and waved her hands, "It's nothing. Who doesn't have a few unreasonable relatives? But next time, don't just hit her with a stick. If you really hurt her, she will blackmail you for money. You have to change your strategy. Call the police and cry to them. Just say that you are being bullied by your rogue relatives and you can no longer do business and live a normal life. You have to maximize your advantages and win other people's sympathy instead of becoming as unreasonable as her. Do you understand?"
After hearing what Shu Niannian said, Li Shaoyao's eyes suddenly turned red. She rubbed her clothes with both hands shyly. Zhang Danniu had been making trouble for more than half a year. In the process, the store's business was ruined. Neighbors would point fingers at them whenever they saw them. Even her only friend who could talk to her didn't come to play with her anymore. In order to protect her own rights, she and her father had become stinky dog shit. Unexpectedly, she was comforted by a stranger today!
The key point is that this stranger is so good-looking. I don’t know what’s wrong with his eyes, but they are watery and clear. You can tell at first glance that he is a good person!
The "good guy" Shu Niannian was invited into the medicine shop by Li Shaoyao. "To be honest, this is my first order in the past half month. No matter what you buy today, I will sell it to you at a low price!!"
It has been a long time since I dealt with such a simple and innocent person. Shu Niannian laughed out loud. She teased Li Shaoyao, "Then I want to buy a hundred-year-old ginseng. How much cheaper are you going to sell it to me? Aren't you afraid of losing money?"
When Li Shaoyao saw Shu Niannian's mischievous eyes, she knew that Shu Niannian was really joking with her. She scratched her head and smiled embarrassedly, "No, I'm not that aggressive usually. I know how to do business and won't let myself lose money. But sister, you are a good person. I feel close to you when I see you!"
Shu Niannian sighed. At that time, Li Shaoyao was still a simple and kind girl, bright and sunny, completely different from the gloomy divorced woman with a broken leg who later became.
"Well, I think you are friendly to me. So, I will buy herbs from you in the future. I don't need you to give me a discount, but I want you to ensure the quality of the packaging materials."
Li Shaoyao patted her chest and said, "Don't worry about this. The herbs in my family are either dug up by my father in the mountains, or he personally went to the place of origin to collect them. The efficacy is absolutely amazing."
Shu Niannian blinked, "Really?"
Li Shaoyao raised her head proudly, "Of course!"
"Okay! I'll give you a list. Give me two kilograms of each." Shu Niannian handed the list of herbs to Li Shaoyao. Li Shaoyao was shocked when she received the list. She asked worriedly, "Sister, do you need so many herbs? Is there a patient at home?"
Shu Niannian thought to herself, this is such a kind-hearted girl. She smiled and said, "There are no patients at home. I am going to make finished health pills."
Li Shaoyao was obviously relieved. She turned around to check the herbs and found that some of them were out of stock. "We are out of Platycodon grandiflorum and Anemarrhena asphodeloides. The warehouse only has one pound. Sister, can I give you one pound first?" Shu Niannian nodded and said yes. "But since I am so easy to talk to, can you deliver the goods to my door?"
Li Shaoyao answered without hesitation, "Of course!"
Shu Niannian gave Li Shaoyao an address, which was of course the Red Star Hotel. Shu Niannian thought with a smile and tears in her eyes that the Red Star Hotel was about to become her research and development center.
No, we still have to buy a house to serve as Qingyan’s R&D center. The Red Star Hotel is still too simple.
When it came to the payment stage, Shu Niannian glanced at Li Shaoyao and said, "I'll pay according to the original price of the herbs."
Li Shaoyao hesitated for a moment, then quietly smoothed out the beads on the abacus that showed a 20% discount. In the end, Shu Niannian got what she wished and paid the original price.
Before leaving, Shu Niannian casually asked Li Shaoyao, "How old are you this year? Do you have a partner?"
Li Shaoyao said dejectedly, "I'm 16 today and I don't have a boyfriend. People in the city are very particular and don't like people like me."
Shu Niannian was surprised, "You are actually 16. I thought you were only 13. You look much younger than your actual age."
Li Shaoyao looked down at her flat body, lowered her head in inferiority, and answered in a muffled voice, "My family is actually very poor. This shop is rented. My father and I pay most of the money we earn every month for the rent, and some of it is used to buy medicinal herbs. I...I grew up like this because of malnutrition. If I eat more nutritious food in the future, I can grow back!"
Shu Niannian:......
In an instant, Shu Niannian had an idea in her mind. Li Shaoyao was a sixteen-year-old girl with the body of a thirteen-year-old, so she was very inferior in her heart. Under such circumstances, it was entirely possible that someone introduced her to a man, and she married a drunken, gambling scum with the original intention of reducing the burden on her father!
Shu Niannian looked at Li Shaoyao distressedly and said in a very affirmative tone, "You are right! Girls develop early and late. Maybe you are the one who develops late. So, I will give you a prescription. You can make a batch every day and drink it. You will see the effect in a month. Try it."
Shu Niannian picked up the pencil on the counter and wrote a prescription on a piece of paper. "You know how to boil medicine, right? Bring it to a boil over high heat first, then simmer it over low heat for half an hour. Pour out half of the medicine soup, add water and bring it to a boil over high heat, then simmer it over low heat for half an hour. After half an hour, pour the medicine soup you poured out earlier into the medicine pot and simmer it for another fifteen minutes. Pour it out, cool it down, and drink it."
Shu Niannian taught Li Shaoyao a set of massage techniques, "Every day before going to bed, massage these acupoints in order, and massage each acupoint for two minutes. This will not only promote development, but also help you grow taller."
Li Shaoyao looked at Shu Niannian's curvy figure with envy, blushed and asked in a low voice, "Can I develop like you?"
Shu Niannian thought about it and answered honestly, "I don't know about this either. I developed it naturally, but if you follow my method, it will definitely be better than it is now."
Li Shaoyao clenched her fist and said firmly, "Well, I'll try."
Shu Niannian looked at Li Shaoyao and wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing. This was the first time they met in their lives, and saying so much already seemed like they were just strangers.
Shu Niannian casually added, "Hey, my Chinese medicine health care room is about to open, and I'm also advertising my own business. If you use this room to good effect, remember to promote it for me for free!"
Li Shaoyao readily agreed, "Definitely!"
Shu Niannian smiled at Li Shaoyao, turned around, waved goodbye and left.
Li Shaoyao shouted with red eyes, "Sister!"
Shu Niannian stopped and turned around. Li Shaoyao took a bag of things from the counter, trotted a few steps and stuffed the things into Shu Niannian's pocket. "Sister, this is the maltose I bought for you. My name is Li Shaoyao. What's your name, sister?"
Shu Niannian smiled and said, "Hello, Shaoyao, my name is Shu Niannian."
