Chapter 144 Sisters are the Best Friendship
Ordinary pharmacies want to hire a friend, which is tempted by monthly money far exceeding Tongji. After being influenced by Chenxi's business philosophy, Hui Niang knew how to use dry stocks to attract talented people and strangers.
Miss Xie widened her eyes when she heard this: "As the size of Mrs. Lu's pharmacy now, the monthly revenue should be 50 cents of money. Mrs. Lu is willing to share one of the ingredients with the little girl?"
Hui Niang smiled and nodded, saying, "Ms. Xie, in fact, when operating a medicine shop, I only want to carry forward the industries left by my deceased husband. Whether to make money or not is the second... I am also operating other businesses, and the profit is higher than that of a medicine shop reads();."
Miss Xie thought for a while and asked, “Is it a printing workshop?”
Previously, the printing workshop was jointly suppressed by a bookstore, and later Hui Niang regained the venue with the power of the chamber of commerce, and the matter had long been spread in Tingzhou Prefecture.
"Um."
Hui Niang nodded, "Whether it is a pharmacy or a printing workshop, I run it with Xiao Lang's mother, Mrs. Chen. I take the big part in the pharmacy, but Mrs. Chen takes the big part in the printing workshop. In addition, we also invest in the old brand Yang's pharmacy in the city, and get 60% of the profit."
"In business, our purpose is mutual benefit and cooperation. If Miss Xie joins in, I will welcome you."
Miss Xie was a little hesitant. She knew that it was not easy to open a clinic in Tingzhou Prefecture with her daughter. After her grandfather and father were imprisoned, she supported a family and soon grew from an ignorant girl to a "strong woman" who stood alone, knowing that "unspoken rules" are everywhere. She refused to agree to sit in Hui Niang's pharmacy, which was equivalent to offending the boss of the chamber of commerce. It would be very difficult to make a living in the city in the future.
In addition, the money at home is gone, and the more you go, the more difficult it is to open a clinic. When she has to come out to see someone, the people will definitely doubt her medical skills. The business will not be good at the beginning, and it is difficult to achieve without a certain opportunity to create a reputation. Even if she wants to go to another pharmacy, it will probably be difficult.
"What if the little girl is going to start a business?" Ms. Xie still raised the key questions.
Hui Niang smiled and said, "Working with the same roof and suffering, that is a friend. In the future, Miss Xie will set up her own business and I will support her with all my strength, but at that time, I may take back 10% of the share in Miss Xie's hand. Miss Xie should not be disgusted."
Miss Xie was relieved.
Regardless of whether Hui Niang's words were sincere or not, at least before she prepared her clinic, being able to sit in Hui Niang's medicine shop is a good opportunity to investigate the market to make money to support the family and even promote fame. Although her ancestral home is Tingzhou, she has been in the capital since she was born, and her language is very different from that of the Hakka people. After returning home, she felt difficult everywhere. Now while Hui Niang gives her the profits, it can also be regarded as a way to adapt to the customs and styles of the Hakka people in Tingzhou Prefecture.
"Okay, I don't know when I will go to work?" Miss Xie was a cheerful person and agreed directly.
Hui Niang didn't expect that the matter would go so well, so she returned to the hall with Ms. Xie and sat down. Soon the contract was settled. Ms. Xie's monthly monthly money was 2 taels of silver, plus 10% of the dividends in the pharmacy shop every month... With the current hot sales momentum of patent medicines, the monthly money was at least seven or eight taels, and it may even reach more than ten taels in the future.
"Miss Xie, don't know what to call me?" Hui Niang said the specific monthly money and dividend matters and asked solemnly.
Miss Xie looked at Chen Xi and Xiu'er, then nodded slightly: "The little girl's name is Yun'er."
Hui Niang read it silently and smiled and said, "Good name, then I will call Miss Xie Yun'er sister in private from now on."
"I dare not take it."
Xie Yuner felt a little unbearable. After all, Hui Niang was the shopkeeper. Although she paid dividends in the medicine shop, she was just a clerk in the store.
Hui Niang was able to invite a lady from a famous family like Xie Yuner to her pharmacy as a doctor. Her face was quite bright and she said happily: "If Sister Yuner thinks it is appropriate, then go to the pharmacy with us. Regarding the seats and decorations during the storm, Sister Yuner should be the one who will buy you a complete reads();."
Xie Yun'er didn't expect Hui Niang to be so enthusiastic. She had always been wary of Hui Niang before. When she agreed just now, she also considered that if Hui Niang refused rashly, she would be hated by Hui Niang. In a blink of an eye, she felt that she was the one who judged the gentleman with a villain, and Hui Niang had no intention of guarding her at all.
Xie Yuner nodded. However, although she had decided to go to the pharmacy, she still had to go to the backyard to ask for instructions from her grandmother and mother... Of course, she said it was a request, but in fact she was just informing her and expressed her respect for the elderly.
After someone entered, Hui Niang smiled and touched Chen Xi's head: "Xiao Lang, Auntie is increasingly impressed by your ability. If you say a word, it will work better than Auntie's saying so many words."
Chen Xi smiled, but felt a little dissatisfied. He was just a symptom medicine and knew what Ms. Xie wanted. Without spending too much effort, just sitting there to treat people, he could receive a few taels of silver dividend every month. Ordinary small medicine shops only had such benefits. Who wouldn't want such a good thing?
When Xie Yuner went in and discussed with her elders, she had already changed into relatively simple and clean clothes when she came out again. She nodded to Hui Niang and said, "Mrs. Lu, we can leave."
Hui Niang nodded gently, walked out of the hall with Xie Yun'er, and said, "If Sister Yun'er doesn't dislike me, she can call me the shopkeeper in front of others in the future and call her sister in the back."
"Yes, sister."
Xie Yuner is knowledgeable and tactful. Hui Niang gave her shares for nothing, which was equivalent to giving her a lot of money. Even if she was arrogant, she would have to be polite to Hui Niang. She didn't know why Hui Niang was so familiar, just thought she was naturally enthusiastic.
The group returned to the pharmacy. Zhou did not expect things to go so well, so he invited the person back in one trip.
Xie Yuner is a guest, but she is treated like half of the owner of the pharmacy.
The pharmacy shop is quite spacious, so it is not difficult to arrange a special outpatient location. Because Xie Yuner is a woman, in addition to preparing tables and chairs, she also has to buy a screen. The backyard will also leave a place for Xie Yuner to rest, and even prepare an extra bowl and chopstick. Xie Yuner will stay at the pharmacy for dinner together at noon.
Xie Yuner was a little unrelaxed at first, but later on, due to Hui Niang and Zhou's enthusiasm, her spirit was completely relaxed.
"Don't take good care of me, don't be surprised. I'll let you prepare in the past few days. My sister can come to the clinic after the New Year. In the past few days, I'll give my sister monthly money first. As for dividends, what's the calculation from the first lunar month?" Hui Niang was worried that she would not be well-received, so she personally told Xie Yuner about the details of the dividends.
Xie Yuner saluted respectfully: "Sister is so polite, and she is really flattered. She will not receive any rewards without merit. If my sister is worthy of monthly money from now on, then my sister will come to the hall tomorrow. These days before the New Year should be the busiest time of the pharmacy."
"Okay, okay."
Hui Niang was overjoyed, "Just do this, don't pay dividends these days to my sister first. At the end of the year, my sister personally sent some New Year's goods to her door as compensation."
Hui Niang was kind and Xie Yuner knew the general idea. She had a very harmonious relationship after only one day of knowing each other.
When Xie Yuner left, Hui Niang wrapped a red seal with the golden leaves she treasured: "Sister, don't dislike it, this is a gift from my sister to you. In the future, we will not only do business together, but also be the best sisters."
Xie Yuner felt that she didn't have much weight when she held the red envelope. She thought it was not an expensive item, so she responded with a smile, and went home without thinking too much.
After seeing off Xie Yun'er, Hui Niang smiled brightly and felt happy in her heart. She had been worried about not being able to hire a female doctor these days. Now she not only invited people back, but also a famous lady from a medical family in Beijing. She was generous and decent. In the future, she would have a good sister with real talents and knowledge. Not to mention how happy she was.
"Auntie, I don't know. I thought you had picked up money on the road, but if you think about it carefully, it seemed like you lost the money." Chen Xi curled his lips.
Hui Niang smiled and scolded, "When did you learn to spend your aunt? Silly kids, this is not considered losing money. It is more realistic than picking up money. It is simply a treasure. You said that in my life, it is already a blessing from God to be able to hand over your mother, a good sister. Now I have met a sister like Miss Xie, and God treats me well."
Chen Xi stuck out his tongue: "I'm afraid that others will treat you as a shopkeeper, but not as a good sister."
Hui Niang was a little embarrassed and reached out to bounce Chen Xi's forehead and said, "Boy, let me spend time with you, I will beat you like your mother in the future."
Chen Xi smiled and ran away.
The next day when Xie Yuner came to the pharmacy again, she had a little more gratitude on her face in addition to respect. Yesterday she went back to see the red envelope and found that it was a piece of golden leaves weighing more than one or two, and she couldn't help feeling uneasy.
The Xie family was in a state of decline, and she fully felt the warmth and warmth of human feelings. The relatives and friends at home knew that the Xie family had offended the powerful and wealthy in the court, and none of them provided help, even the fall of the stone caused her to suffer a great loss when selling her property in the capital. Even the marriage that had already been agreed upon was ruined by the defeat of the Xie family. However, outsiders did not despise the person who regretted the marriage, but instead mocked her, an innocent person.
Even if relatives and friends are like this, she dare not ask outsiders to help the Xie family.
She took her family back to Tingzhou Prefecture thousands of miles away. Needless to say, she suffered along the way. In order to make her family feel at ease, all her cold words and miserable situations were hidden in her heart. Unexpectedly, she encountered walls everywhere after returning to her hometown.
Originally, some distant relatives and old friends of the Xie family were in Tingzhou Prefecture. The first thing Xie Yuner did when she went to Tingzhou Prefecture to settle her family in the inn was to send a wide range of invitations. These people went to the "Kexianju" in the three-story building in the city to have a banquet. One was to say that the Xie family had returned to Tingzhou from now on to take root and hope that everyone would take care of it. The second was that these distant relatives and old friends had more or less benefited from the family's wealth. Many of them had borrowed money from the Xie family to buy houses or fields, and they also wanted to borrow old accounts when they came back this time. But these people either didn't go, or they just showed their faces and did not mention paying back the money at all.
Later, Xie Yuner invited Fang Ya to "Kexianju" for dinner, and she was deeply lonely when she saw the things and looked out of the window. She happened to be seen by Shen Mingjun and Chen Xi and his son who were passing by. She didn't even realize that this was the turning point of her life experience.
"Sister, I will be in the hall from today onwards." Xie Yuner gave a big gift to Hui Niang.
Hui Niang stayed up late last night to settle the score. She was a little confused after having breakfast. She didn't expect Xie Yuner to come so early and give such a big gift. She was at a loss for a while. After a while, she apologized: "The tables and chairs are ready, but the screens and other things... are still preparing for it. My sister can come later."
Xie Yuner said with a peaceful and peaceful smile on her face: "If my sister values it so much, it would be a waste of time if she is not diligent."
