The person who went to ask the question came back to report after a while: "The old lady said that this digestion pill is just made of some wild fruits and honey from the mountains. It is not worth much, but it is a bit troublesome to make. She doesn't have the patience to make too much, so Doctor Mo usually helps to prepare it.
"Everyone has a skilled doctor in their house, and they can understand the prescription at a glance. I won't bother with that! I just copied three-tenths of the prescription and sent it over. Just take it!"
Fan Huairen said embarrassedly, "I didn't mean that. How can I let this go?"
Even the Prince of Qi and Prefect Wu did not expect that the old lady of the Qiao family would be so generous and give away the secret recipe just like that!
Qiao Yunqing said, "You don't have to do this, sir. Since my mother said the method is simple, it can't be considered a secret method! If one more person can benefit from this, and if it can help you regulate your appetite, then this recipe is worth it."
"Well, then I will refuse your request!"
After saying that, he picked up the copy in front of him and looked at it carefully. "Isn't it hard to find hawthorns in this season?"
Qiao Yunqing was also stunned, and then quickly said: "I will ask for the prince! These were found by the younger generation of the family."
When Qiao Erlang heard that his uncle was looking for small red fruits, he volunteered to come. After paying his respects to everyone, he said to Qiao Yunqing, "There are a lot of these red fruits in the North Mountain, but they need manpower to pick. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait a day or two. If you need them urgently today, it is not impossible. You can just pay a little to raise wages."
Seeing that this boy was so smart, he dared to bargain with his elders and was not at all nervous in front of so many important people. He was very brave. He became interested and asked, "How much salary do you need?"
Qiao Erlang shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. It depends on how much the adults want!"
"We'll take whatever you have!"
"Really?" Qiao Erlang smiled happily: "Will you take whatever I can get within an hour?"
Seeing him like this, the King of Qi also straightened his attitude and said, "Of course, we have many good-looking families!"
"A gentleman's word is as good as gold!" Qiao Erlang took the initiative to stretch out his hand, wanting to high-five with the other party to form an alliance!
The King of Qi was a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect the kid to think of this! But he still fulfilled Qiao Erlang's wish.
Seeing that the other party really high-fived him, he was very happy and said, "Wait for me, I'll do it right away!" After saying that, he turned around and ran out the door.
A sharp whistle sounded, and the guard was startled and hurried to check the situation.
Only then did I realize that the whistle was blown by Qiao Erlang.
Before he could go forward to find out what was going on, he saw small figures running out from the alleys of Tiger Town, holding baskets in their hands, howling as they ran. They were clearly coming in the direction of
Even from the inner courtyard of the Qiao family, three or four small figures rushed out.
What is going on?
The adults were all confused and had not figured out what was going on. The children ran over and automatically stood in front of Qiao Erlang.
They lined up in two teams, from short to tall. The girls stood in front, and the boys stood behind.
At this time, Qiao Erlang was standing on the steps, like a general patrolling the team.
The little hand waved and pressed down, quite imposingly, "Everyone be quiet! We are gathered here today for one thing, to collect the red fruits. You can take as many as you want."
"That thing is so sour, why did you take it?"
"Don't worry about it," Qiao Erlang stretched out his palm and said, "Five cents a pound."
This is a killer statement.
The next moment, the young man who had just been reluctant suddenly became spirited, and his eyes fell on Qiao Erlang like searchlights, and then he smiled eagerly: "Okay, okay, you really want it? Can we go pick it now? I know a place, it's a big one, I'll take you there now, in consideration of me providing the place, you have to give me one pound for every five pounds you pick. I tell you, there aren't as many in other places. Instead of looking for it slowly, you might as well follow me, everyone can make money..."
Everyone stood in the yard in a daze, watching how a second-hand dealer, no, a third-hand dealer was born just like that!
The children walked away together, discussing in groups of three or four who to team up with. The adults in the yard also sighed: "Young people are really formidable, the children have become smart."
But the King of Qi laughed and said: "Don't underestimate these children. What are you doing standing there? Go and prepare the copper coins. It will be our turn to work soon."
Magistrate Wu stroked his beard and said, "Oh, by the way, I wonder what price Qiao Xiaolang will sell it to you?"
Yes, after talking for a long time, it seems that Qiao Erlang really didn’t discuss the price!
Qiao Erlang heard this and said seriously, "I will make a loss on this order to gain publicity. I will sell it to everyone at the original price. The main purpose is to give my partners some pocket money to supplement their family expenses."
"You kid, did you run around for them in vain?"
Qiao Erlang disagreed. "How can this trip be in vain? I have their trust. Sir, you got the goods you wanted, and my partner got copper coins to buy what he needs. You see, no one is at a disadvantage! Grandmother said that when the flavor is strong, reduce it by three points to let others taste it, and when the path is narrow, leave one step for others to walk. You can't eat alone."
Everyone didn't expect that this little kid could actually understand many truths that adults couldn't understand. When they heard that it was Qiao Xin who taught her, they couldn't help but respect her a little more!
Looking at the Qiao family's behavior today, it all reveals a sense of magnanimity and integrity.
