Chapter 113: You can tell with just one glance
Xu Rongrong's life these days can be regarded as the most relaxing period of time in her two lives.
Even relaxing... made her feel a little uncomfortable.
The people of Yuzhou were taken care of by Shu Qing and the doctors from the capital. Their illnesses improved day by day. It has been a long time since there was any news of anyone dying of the disease.
In addition to the doctors from the capital, Luo Chen also brought the account books of three shops in the capital this time.
The medicine shop in the eight alleys of the capital has long been famous among the nobles of the capital.
This can be seen in the thick account books.
Luo Chen struck while the iron was hot: "Miss, is it possible to open another shop in the capital?"
Xu Rongrong looked at the account book with one hand and thought at the same time.
After a long time, she shook her head: "When I first took over this pharmacy, I said that we are not good at medicine. We run a pharmacy, not a medical center. Our advantage is medicinal materials, and the medicinal material business does not matter how many pharmacies there are. , as long as there are enough reserves, one store can cover the whole city. Therefore, if you want to expand the pharmacy business in Gyeonggi, finding a suitable village in the suburbs of Beijing and planting and cultivating high-quality herbal medicines is the key."
Luo Chen nodded: "Indeed, before I came, the shopkeeper of the medicine shop complained several times, and now it is getting harder and harder to collect medicinal materials."
Xu Rongrong smiled and said: "Besides, when the drugs are fully developed in the future, we can give up the common herbal medicine business."
Luo Chen asked: "Why is this?"
"We have to leave some way for other drug stores to survive? We don't have much foundation in the capital. It's not a good thing for us to provoke those century-old drug stores."
"What the eldest lady said is absolutely true."
Although Luo Chen said this, the ambition on his face did not subside, so Xu Rongrong smiled and nodded at him: "Although we don't have branches in the capital, you can try it in other places. For example, Jiangnan..."
Her words lit up the light in Luo Chen's eyes.
He immediately became excited: "Yes! From what I have seen in Jiangnan these days, there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine here. If we can take this opportunity to open a pharmacy in Jiangnan, firstly, we can help the people after the flood. Secondly, You can also quickly take root and establish yourself!”
"Thirdly, the soil in the south of the Yangtze River is rich and more suitable for growing herbal medicine, which can make up for the shortcomings of the capital." Xu Rongrong added with a smile.
Luo Chen's face was glowing red at this time. He obviously couldn't hold back the joy in his heart. He stood up and gave Xu Rongrong a big gift: "The lady's eyes are straight, it is really admirable!"
"I just came up with an idea, and I need your help later." Xu Rongrong said warmly.
In this life, there are not many people she can completely trust.
There were only Wen Yao, Luo Shu, and Luo Chen.
Chu He is not someone who has lived under others for a long time, and he is also someone she cannot keep. She is trying her best to keep him by her side now, so that he will not be subdued by the fourth prince when he is most embarrassed, and will not do evil for that person. , and also to avoid repeating the mistake of dying at his hands in the previous life.
If she wants to win a place for herself in today's world, Luo Chen is her only helper.
Luo Chen has many years of experience in the car dealership, and has a venomous look and excellent memory.
Not long after, he drew the main layout of the four states in the south of the Yangtze River for Xu Rongrong.
The two discussed it in detail in the room.
Until, a tall figure appeared beside the door.
Xu Rongrong put the drawings away, then stood up and said, "Why is the Marquis here?"
Mu Rong's eyes stayed on Luo Chen for a moment, and he whispered: "Seeing that you haven't gone out all day, I came to see if I disturbed you."
Although his tone was the same as usual, Luo Chen's ears felt like there was an invisible sword flying in his heart.
He quickly lowered his head and said, "If the county master has nothing else to do, I will leave first."
Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Xu Rongrong nodded.
Luo Chen fled quickly. It wasn't until he left the house that he felt his breathing became smooth again.
He patted his chest: Most people can't stand the pressure of the Marquis.
His embarrassed look naturally did not escape Xu Rongrong's eyes.
She frowned displeased and glanced at Mu Rong: "You're so good, what are you doing to bluff people?"
Mu Rong spread his hands and looked innocent: "How did I fool him?"
Xu Rongrong didn't bother to tell him apart, so she said: "Master Hou is here and has seen it. If nothing happens, please go back."
Mu Rong looked at her with a smile: "You have stayed in the house these days, and you are not afraid of getting bored. I think you haven't had a good walk since you came to Yuzhou City. Can I accompany you for a walk today?"
As Mu Rong said, Xu Rongrong had been in Yuzhou City for nearly 20 days, but he was either busy rescuing people or sick. He really had not experienced the tenderness of the Jiangnan water town.
At this time, I heard that she was indeed a little moved.
Mu Rong could see her changes at a glance, and he continued to seduce: "Now most of the people in the city have recovered. After experiencing floods and diseases, they have gradually regained some vitality. Don't you want to see it with your own eyes?"
Xu Rongrong inadvertently raised her eyebrows.
Yes, she wanted to see it for herself.
Because she is now a maid next to the county lord, she wears a goose-yellow cloak with only two plain silver hairpins on her head, while Mu Rong wears a gray cloak, low-key and simple.
But even so, it's still hard to hide the superiority of the two.
Yaju is located in the center of Yuzhou City, next to the most prosperous neighborhood in the city.
It was already late now, and there were far fewer vendors on both sides of the road, but food stalls were set up one after another.
Mu Rong dropped two taels of silver, took two sticks of cotton candy from the candy man's stall, and handed them to Xu Rongrong: "Try them, there are none in the capital."
Xu Rongrong took it dubiously, and opened her red lips lightly, but who knew that the candy would melt as soon as it touched her lips.
Her almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise. Mu Rong narrowed his eyes and smiled: "How? I didn't lie to you."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to wipe away the sprinkles from Xu Rongrong's mouth.
Xu Rongrong subconsciously took a step back.
Mu Rong retracted his hand angrily.
Fortunately, he quickly adjusted his mood.
"Would you like to try Jiangnan's glutinous rice balls?" Mu Rong suggested as the vendor buying glutinous rice balls not far away had just set up the table.
"It's not the New Year yet, but there are glutinous rice balls?" Xu Rongrong asked strangely.
Mu Rong nodded: "Jiangnan is not like the capital. The people are more casual and do whatever they like."
That being the case, let’s try it.
The two of them were sitting at the table. The hawker saw that the visitor had an extraordinary appearance and must be a wealthy owner, so he was very attentive.
But he soon discovered that apart from cooking glutinous rice balls, he seemed to have no other attentiveness to offer.
After all, the man who looked majestic was very meticulous and considerate when taking care of the girl next to him.
It seemed like he was just taking care of her carelessly, but it made people feel that he treated the girl next to him as a rare treasure.
Even he looked at it with envy.
Sure enough, people, regardless of gender, can tell at a glance that they are deeply in love.
