Get the order of fresh Rehmannia root

On the weekend, Shen Roujiao arrived at the entrance of South Lane early. The store door opened from the inside, and a sleepy head popped out.

"Brother Huzi, good morning!" Jiaojiao waved two big vegetable buns in front of him.

Hu Zi, an apprentice in the herbal medicine shop and nephew of Mr. Chen, lives in the shop and is in charge of looking after it.

He scratched his head in embarrassment, pointed at himself and asked, "Good morning. Is this for me?"

"Well, try the buns from the school cafeteria. I'll do the work in the store." She got up early and went to the cafeteria to buy them. They were two cents each, which was affordable, delicious and not expensive.

Shen Roujiao stuffed the vegetable bun into Hu Zi's hand, rolled up her sleeves, fetched a basin of water, and wiped the counter inside and out, sweeping and mopping the red brick floor. She made the entire store bright and tidy, full of energy and spirit.

After finishing the front shop, she went to the backyard of the shop and cleaned and tidied up every corner.

Putting down the broom, Shen Roujiao was not idle either. She stood at the counter, lowering her head to stock the goods. A customer came to the door and knocked on the glass, "Boss Chen, are you there?"

Her eyes swept over the bracelet on the visitor's right wrist, with a large black round bead in the middle, and she felt a sense of déjà vu.

Look up again, fat boss?

The fat uncle who spoke with a foreign accent on the street corner and cheated them out of the weight of the medicinal herbs.

The two looked at each other and were both shocked.

"Little girl! Are you working here?" The fat boss still remembered Shen Roujiao, the wild ginseng seller. He waited for her for half a day but she and her brother and sister never came back. He never thought that they would meet again today and become colleagues.

"I can only help on weekends. Uncle, please take a seat first." She greeted him politely, walked around from behind the counter to the tea table, and whispered to the backyard: "Brother Huzi, we have guests."

Hu Zi, who was washing his face, wiped his face carelessly and walked quickly to the front shop. Seeing that it was an old acquaintance, he took out a pack of cigarettes from the tea table, shook out a cigarette and handed it to the fat boss, "Uncle, have a cigarette. My uncle will be here soon. What big order is this time?"

From Hu Zi's attentive attitude, Shen Roujiao could tell that this fat boss was of some importance.

"You are right, there is indeed a big order." The fat uncle was not in a hurry to light up the cigarette. But when Hu Zi heard that there was a big order, he quickly struck a match and respectfully helped him light the cigarette.

"Uncle, have some tea." Shen Roujiao was quick-witted and immediately followed Brother Hu's pace, serving tea and pouring water.

After finishing his cigarette, Boss Chen appeared in high spirits. As soon as he entered the door, he waved his hand and said to the fat boss: "Hey, you're here so early. It looks like there's something good going on."

There was good news. Shen Roujiao, who was standing aside, listened quietly to them talking about the good news.

This fat boss with a foreign accent is from the south. His ancestors were in the medicinal materials business during the Republic of China. There are three brothers in his family. The eldest brother is based in the south, the second brother is based in the Central Plains, and he, the third brother, is based in Yunnan.

Thirty percent of the medicinal materials in Yunnan and Yunnan passed through his hands and were shipped to all parts of the country. He is truly the king of medicinal materials.

This time, we need to collect a batch of medicinal materials and transport them to the Central Plains. It is said that the pharmaceutical factory has just been approved and put into production. It makes traditional Chinese medicine pills, Liuwei Dihuang Pills. We need high-quality medicinal materials, wild fresh Rehmannia root, one ton, 2,000 kilograms.

The fat boss is collecting goods from various shops. Currently, there are only about 500 kilograms, and he is still a long way off.

"I don't have much here, about 100 kilograms! How much do you want?" Boss Chen flipped through the inventory list in his hand and glanced at the fat boss.

The fat uncle didn't say anything, but opened his big hands and made the number five.

"Five dollars? That's a good price. You can take all those bags in my backyard." Boss Chen's purchase price was two dollars, and he made a net profit of 300 from this order.

"Okay. Please help me ask again. I'm not afraid of too much, just too little. I'll take as much as you can." The fat boss was so worried that his eyebrows were squeezed together.

When Shen Roujiao was refilling the boss's water, she came up to him and asked, "Uncle, when is the latest time to refill it?"

"Mid-October. There's still more than a month left." The fat uncle picked up the teacup, took a big sip, looked at Shen Roujiao with shining eyes, and asked suspiciously: "How? Can you get the goods?"

Boss Chen and Hu Zi also looked at her, curious about how Shen Roujiao would respond.

"Yes! But it won't be until early October. I can't say how much more, but 1,000 kilograms is no problem." There was no smile on her face when she spoke. She was not joking, but had the look of someone who was serious about business.

"Really?" Fatty asked, but he looked at Boss Chen. He didn't believe it at all. After all, not long ago, she was still a novice who knew nothing and was almost cheated by him.

"Jiao Jiao, what you said is true. This is not a joke." Boss Chen was afraid that she might speak without thinking, so he reminded her to ask carefully.

"I'm not kidding. I'm serious. But," Shen Roujiao paused, her lips slightly raised, a faint smile, she looked at the fat boss with a faint expression and said, "I can't use your scale."

Several people laughed out loud after hearing what she said, saying that there were some problems to a greater or lesser extent and everyone knew it.

Regarding the wild fresh Rehmannia, with Boss Chen as witness, Shen Roujiao signed a simple ordering agreement with the fat boss and paid a deposit of 500 yuan in advance, thus finalizing the matter.

On the first day of work, Shen Roujiao was so happy that she had negotiated such a big order that she couldn't eat. She stood at the door and looked at the street, hoping that the master's second brother and others would arrive soon.

But after waiting for a long time, it was already past lunch time and still no one showed up.

The longer she waited, the more anxious she became. Seeing that she was getting restless, Hu Zi assigned her a job and asked Shen Roujiao to deliver medicinal materials to the clinic in the north of the city.

…

Shen Roujiao was riding her bicycle back from delivering goods when she was stopped by a voice on the side of the road. She turned around and saw it was her classmate Duan Baisheng.

Duan Baisheng is a fair-skinned, tall, and energetic young man.

He wore a shirt that was shiny white and smelled like hospital disinfectant. His mother died young, and his father, a doctor, raised him alone.

In the original text, four years later, Shen Roujiao married the man in front of her, Duan Baisheng.

He is a good man, but unfortunately he has some bad luck.

I took the college entrance examination twice. Once I was too nervous and forgot to finish one page of the test paper. I was 20 points below the passing score and failed. The second time, there was a problem with my pen. The ink leaked and half of the paper was stained. I couldn’t even see the answers clearly. I was 10 points below the passing score and failed.

These are candidates who have ability but no luck.

After two failures, he lost hope and his father, a doctor, arranged for him to work in a pharmacy, where he was responsible for sorting medicines.

Duan Baisheng had secretly liked Shen Roujiao since he first met her in his freshman year of high school. It was not until he graduated from high school and started working in a hospital pharmacy that he confessed his love to her.

At that time, Shen Roujiao's father and third brother died of the plague, and her second brother also died a violent death. His appearance brought great warmth to Shen Roujiao, who had lost her loved ones. The two of them fell in love and got married soon.

However, when people are unlucky, drinking cold water will get stuck in their teeth.

Shen Roujiao got pregnant not long after getting married. On the day she found out she was pregnant, the sky was clear without a single cloud in the sky. There was no sky bluer than that day, as blue as if it were painted.

Shen Roujiao, who was filled with joy, saw a girl standing in the middle of the road crying on her way home. She thought it was dangerous, so she tried to coax the child to the side of the road, but she was pushed down by the angry little girl and sat heavily on the ground, bleeding all over the ground.

It was originally good news, but in the end it turned into bad news. Not only did Shen Roujiao suffer a miscarriage, she also lost the qualification to be a mother forever.

Shen Roujiao, who did not want to drag Duan Baisheng down, went through the divorce procedures with him soon after she recovered from her illness.

After that, Duan Baisheng never remarried.

We parted ways in our previous life, let’s live our own lives happily!

"Student Shen Roujiao, where are you going?" Duan Baisheng quickly ran a few steps and caught up.

"Student Duan Baisheng, I just came back from the clinic." Keeping a proper distance is good for everyone.

"You don't feel well somewhere. Are you sick?" Duan Baisheng stopped the car and asked with concern.

"No, don't talk nonsense, I'm going to deliver medicinal herbs." Shen Roujiao slapped his hand away angrily and walked forward pushing her bicycle.

Duan Baisheng smiled sheepishly and continued to follow, "Student Shen Roujiao, the words you wrote on the blackboard are really good, especially beautiful."

Uh!

The more I tried to keep my distance, the more aggressive he became.

"No, I just wrote it randomly." Shen Roujiao replied casually without even looking at him.

"You can write so well even if you write randomly. Classmate Shen Roujiao, can you help me? Teach me how to practice calligraphy so that I can write as beautifully as you. No, it's not you who is beautiful, it's your handwriting that is beautiful. No, you are beautiful too, and your handwriting is beautiful too."

His incoherent speech became more and more outrageous, and his voice became lower and lower. Shen Roujiao pretended not to hear him and walked forward without paying attention to herself.

When Duan Baisheng caught up for the third time and tried to make small talk, Shen Roujiao spoke first to block his mouth, "Student Duan Baisheng, don't you want to take the college entrance examination? Then please, immediately, right now, go and study hard. Don't waste your time here." Shen Roujiao quickened her pace and pushed the bicycle forward.

"You, how do you know that I want to take the college entrance examination?" Duan Baisheng had never mentioned this to anyone. He worked hard silently and put in a lot of effort secretly.

"I think you study hard and have great potential. If you work hard in your second year of high school and strive for another year in your third year of high school, you will definitely be able to get into college. I'm optimistic about you. Come on!" Shen Roujiao made a cheering gesture to him and walked faster. It's almost there, it's finally there.

Little did she know that Duan Baisheng, who had received the encouragement, flushed with joy and chased after her and asked, "Student Shen Roujiao, do you really think highly of me? Do you really think I can get into college? Do you really believe that I have the ability to do so?"

"Really? What I said is true." Shen Roujiao was so annoyed by him that her head was about to split apart. She just wanted to run away as soon as possible.

Suddenly, a cold voice blocked their way, "Who is he?"

Zhou Huaiyue was standing in front of them with sweat all over his face, looking frighteningly cold. "Master! You are finally here." When Shen Roujiao saw Zhou Huaiyue, it was like seeing a savior.

She pushed her bicycle and walked quickly to her master's side, keeping a distance from Duan Baisheng.

"Who is he?" Zhou Huaiyue still stood there without moving, and continued to ask the same question with a slightly softer tone.

Hearing Shen Roujiao calling Zhou Huaiyue "Master", Duan Baisheng hurriedly stepped forward to introduce himself, "Hello, I am Shen Roujiao's classmate, my name is Duan Baisheng."

Zhou Huaiyue looked sullen and suddenly asked a question that was totally irrelevant: "Is your father the county magistrate?"

?

Shen Roujiao didn't understand.

?

Duan Baisheng was stunned by the question and replied weakly: "My father is Duan Gang."
