Chapter 251: Loach
Ge Tonghua did not respond immediately, but frowned and asked, "Go to Old Master Liu to deliver medicine, didn't I ask you to go, why did Wencheng go?"
"Didn't you say you'd stop by on the way there to see how your aunt was doing?"
"Well, since Wencheng wants to go, let him go. It's okay. I'll go see my aunt in the evening. I can just bring a lantern at night. It won't be a problem."
Han Hu smiled and said, "Wencheng has never liked to go out to deliver medicine. This time he wants to go out for once. Since he asked, I can't refuse. So let's do this. Master, don't blame him."
"Is it a rare opportunity to go out? Isn't it a rare opportunity to go out? It's so nice to be in the shop. I can find a chance to change the medicine. It's a shame to do such a thing!"
When Ge Tonghua thought of this, he was unhappy. "I think there must be a reason for going out this time. Old Master Liu's family has always been generous. If they don't give me a reward, I'm afraid they will give me a piece of cake. Zhuang Wencheng, he picked an empty diamond. Was he a loach in his previous life?"
"Oh, Master, why are you here again? I think Wencheng is quite good, but you always talk about him. It's getting late, Master, let's eat now."
Han Hu walked towards the backyard and said, "I'll go get some food for Master."
Ge Tonghua was about to say something else, but when he looked up, he could only see Han Hu's back, so he could only sigh and shake his head.
This eldest disciple is really honest and simple, and he always thinks of others.
As for this Zhuang Wencheng, he really has a lot of little thoughts. If he continues to be like this in the future, he really can't be kept anymore. No matter how pity it is, this person who has a bad heart can't be kept around no matter what. Who knows when he will hurt others? Zhuang Wencheng almost trotted all the way to Old Master Liu's house and delivered the medicine.
The servant of the Liu family took the medicine back and politely served tea and snacks to Zhuang Wencheng and asked him to sit for a while. Zhuang Wencheng had no time to care, so he declined and went on to the cloth shop.
When we arrived at the cloth shop, we only saw a young man named Zhang Jin there.
They were from the same village. Zhuang Yutian was Zhuang Wencheng's cousin. They lived in the same county town, so Zhuang Yutian and Zhuang Wencheng often visited each other. If anything happened, Zhuang Yutian would always want to help out. Therefore, the clerk in the cloth shop also knew Zhuang Wencheng.
"Doctor Zhuang." Zhang Jin came forward and said, "Are you looking for the shopkeeper? If so, I'm afraid it's not a good time. The two shopkeepers have gone home. Today, a distinguished guest came to the shop and was invited home for lunch."
"From what the shopkeeper said, it seems that he is from his hometown. If that's the case, he should be acquainted with Doctor Zhuang. If you have anything to do, why don't you go to his house and look for him?"
"Like this." The light in Zhuang Wencheng's eyes dimmed a little.
I thought I could take Zhuang Qingning to eat some delicious food, but I didn't expect that Zhuang Qingning actually went to Zhuang Yutian's house for dinner.
Although this was a common thing, he couldn't say anything, he just felt empty inside for having come up empty-handed.
Moreover, if he went to Zhuang Yutian's house at this time, it would be seen as a free meal, which would seem inappropriate. Zhuang Wencheng thought about it and decided to give up.
There is still a lot of time in the future, so this time won’t matter.
"It's no big deal. Since Manager Zhuang is not here, I'll come another day." Zhuang Wencheng laughed and turned away.
Dejected.
"Goodbye, Doctor Zhuang." Zhang Jin didn't notice anything. He just saw Zhuang Wencheng out and continued to look after the shop.
Zhuang Qingning had a very sumptuous lunch at Zhuang Yutian's home, which included Hanfenglou's signature dishes - crystal pork elbow, fairy chicken, and squirrel fish, plus a few home-cooked side dishes cooked by Mrs. Meng herself.
After lunch, they talked for a while and then Zhuang Qingning said goodbye and found a car to go to town early.
Although it was summer and the days were much longer, it would be hard to find a car if it was late. Zhuang Qingning declined Zhuang Yutian's offer to send her off, so Meng and Zhuang Yutian did not try to stop her and just sent Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui on an ox cart heading to the town.
Before leaving, he stuffed a piece of cloth into Zhuang Qingning's hand.
"I don't have much to give you. This color is good for a young girl to make a skirt. Time is tight, so I don't have time to find someone to make it for you. When you come back next time, I'll leave your measurements here. If I find a good tailor, I can make summer clothes for you and Qinghui."
"Don't refuse this gift. If you do, your aunt will be unhappy." Seeing that Zhuang Qingning was about to refuse, Mrs. Meng pressed her hand down.
The herbal bags that Zhuang Qingning brought this time were not included in the business of the two parties cooperating to sell herbal bags. They were gifts to Meng and Zhuang Yutian, so it was reasonable for the couple to return the gifts.
Zhuang Qingning did not refuse, but smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, auntie."
"Why are you being polite? When you need fabrics for clothes, just go to my shop and get them. I don't have any other fabrics here, so you can pick any fabric you want." Mrs. Meng saw the driver whipping his horse and walking quickly to see him off. "Drive slowly on the way. Come to the county town to play when you have time."
"Okay." Zhuang Qingning responded from a distance.
The ox cart moved forward slowly and soon disappeared in the street. Meng then withdrew her gaze and went back to the shop. She took the mosquito repellent herbal bag and sniffed it again and again, thinking about who to give the herbal bag to first in order to achieve the best effect of attracting customers.
"Don't mention it, this Ning girl is really good. This herbal bag smells really good." Zhuang Yutian put down the herbal bag in his hand. "I think this thing should not be difficult to sell. I remember that Zhuang Wencheng's medicine shop sold a lot of this last year. Our cost is low and the selling price is also low. It will definitely sell better than theirs."
"Yes, this time it's all thanks to Miss Ning." Mrs. Meng smiled and narrowed her eyes. "I see that there are not many bags of herbs, so I'll send a few to the Liu, Luo, and Bai families first. When regular customers come, I'll give one or something based on the volume of business they do on weekdays. I'll go back and try it first. If they come to buy, I'll ask them to wait a while and write down the quantity so that I know how much to ask Miss Ning to prepare next time."
"Okay, just make the arrangements as you see fit."
Mrs. Meng was an active person and managed her business very well. It could be said that the current prosperity of her cloth shop was largely due to Mrs. Meng's efforts. Zhuang Yutian knew this and was very confident in her arrangements.
"Okay, I'll take care of the arrangements." Mrs. Meng smiled and arranged for Changjin to run to deliver the mosquito repellent herbal package. ——Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui went all the way from the county town to the tofu shop.
By that time, Zhuang Sifu had not yet delivered anything to the tofu shop.
