The space boss's daily life of raising cubs, loving husbands and farming

Chapter 210 A good start

Xiaohuan and Shitou met to discuss, then found Lu Chengjing and said in unison: "Brother-in-law, let's recruit a few more people."

No reward without merit, they really can't hold on any longer!

Lu Chengjing stopped writing and handed the half-written paper to the two of them.

There were more than ten names on the paper, all of which were selected by Lu Chengjing from the list he had discussed with Old Man Wu and others.

"First, pick twenty people. Shitou, you will go there in a while. Regardless of whether they are willing to do it or not, you should write it down. Tell those who are willing to do it to go to Yuan's house to attend the class after breakfast tomorrow."

Before the busy farming season, Lu Chengjing planned to stock up on more medicinal herbs in case he needed help during the busy farming season but couldn't find anyone.

There is enough space for the medicine to be stored, and there is no need to worry about the medicine being eaten by insects or getting damp if left for a long time.

Shitou and Xiaohuan both breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting an explanation.

They are almost afraid to go out just to receive gifts, for fear that others will think they are going out to receive gifts. How would they tolerate such a reputation if it got out?

·

News spread quickly in the village. Those who received the notice were naturally happy, but those who did not receive the notice were frustrated and could not help but reflect on themselves.

How did she catch the scholar's eye?

Is it because the things we gave were not enough or good enough?

Some people reflected on it in a very specific way.

[I didn’t get the job of helping Miss Xiaohuan wash clothes the other day, I have to hurry up next time and make sure to let Miss Xiaohuan see my efforts! ]

[We can still gather some vegetables from the field and send them to the Lu family later.]

[I'm going to the mountains to chop firewood later, and I'll also send a bundle to the Lu family. ]

[The Lu family's land should be tilled, no, it was just tilled yesterday, so it should be watered. Go early to avoid being robbed.]

Of course, there are those who reflect and those who are dissatisfied. They feel very upset because their kindness was not rewarded.

Someone came to question her, but Xiaohuan was too lazy to argue with him. She just gave him two cents of silver and then crossed his name off the list in front of him.

She didn't beg these people to give her things. They got angry when she wanted to return them. Now she feels she was at a loss.

My brother-in-law is right. This alone can screen out a lot of people.

When people who had the same idea learned that they could get the money, they all came to question Xiaohuan. Xiaohuan didn't want to waste any more words, so she simply put her name on the money.

Those who got the money were very happy and even spread the word in the village, asking people to go to the scholar's house to collect the money.

"Just a few words of scolding will do. You can get two coins in exchange."

Some people were tempted, and naturally some saw the trick, but in fact, only two people were persuaded to go.

Those who saw through the trick shook their heads and secretly cursed these people for being short-sighted.

If the scholar's pharmacy does well, and they make money with the scholar, wouldn't the long-term income be more than these two cents of silver?

Besides, what they gave away were not valuable things, but they had the nerve to accept the money. In the future, they will have no share in any good things that happen to the scholar's family.

·

In the evening, Shang Wan came back from the city and heard about this. He stretched out his hand to pinch Xiao Huan's bulging cheeks and said with a smile: "Silly girl, but just spending a few taels of silver can help people recognize their true colors. Not only did we not lose anything, we also made a fortune."

Xiaohuan pouted, still unhappy.

She either felt sorry for the money or wondered how people could change so quickly? They could smile at you one moment and yell at you the next.

She also bought a lot of things with her own money, planning to make four kinds of dim sum to give back to everyone.

"Those people are not lucky enough to eat." Shang Wan laughed at the angry girl, "It's been almost five hours since we last met, and this is the expression my little beauty has to greet me?"

"Sister!" Xiaohuan pursed her lips and smiled.

Yuanyuan clapped her hands and said in a soft voice, "Auntie! Matchmaker!"

Xiaohuan burst out laughing, and the depression in her heart disappeared.

She reached out and took the little guy in her arms, correcting him: "Good boy, it's a beauty, beautiful."

"Matchmaker!"

"It's beautiful."

"sister!

"It's not sister, it's beauty."

"Eyebrows... beautiful."

"Yes, beautiful." Xiaohuan kissed the little girl's soft face, "Yuanyuan will definitely be a beauty when she grows up."

"That's not necessarily true." Chu Xu interrupted, "What if Yuanyuan is still chubby when she grows up?"

The child frowned, genuinely worried.

Are there any beauties who are round and as round as dumplings?

Shang Wan reached out and rubbed his head, "Anian, don't say girls are chubby, you can change it to cute."

Chu Xu blinked in confusion, "Why?"

"Because..." Shang Wan tapped his forehead, "As you said before, it's easy for you to not be able to find a wife."

Chu Xu: “…”

He, he still needs to get married.

"I will not say anymore."

Young Master Chu decided that from now on, he would praise girls for being cute. This should help him get married, right?

Very prepared for a rainy day!

The young master immediately put his knowledge into practice and turned to Xiaohuan and said, "Aunt Xiaohuan, you are very cute."

Xiao Huan: “…”

After knowing the whole story, I can't be happy at all when being praised like this, okay?

·

Half a month later, the pharmacy was renovated and all kinds of medicinal materials were ready.

Shang Wan was rarely superstitious, so he spent ten cents to ask a blind fortune teller to calculate an auspicious day, and set the opening date as three days later.

Shang Wan knew the importance of publicity. Paper was too expensive to distribute flyers, so she asked Lu Chengjing to compose a nursery rhyme and then bribed a little beggar to sing it on the street.

The words of the nursery rhyme were so deeply rooted in people's hearts that many people came to watch the drugstore's opening.

Everyone was talking and talking.

"Is the all-purpose ointment from this shop?"

"Isn't this the place the nursery rhyme is about?"

"Is there really a golden medicine that can stop bleeding immediately after being sprinkled on it?"

"It is said that the medicinal materials here are better than those in other places. Is that true?"

"I'm here to buy Yurongsan."

"Is the white jade cream expensive?"

……

Shitou stared at the clepsydra without blinking, and when the time came, he immediately struck the gong and set off firecrackers.

The "crackling" sound of firecrackers was deafening and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing stood on the left and right of the plaque, grabbing the hemp rope tied with red silk and pulling it down at the same time.

The bright red silk fell to the ground, revealing the three large gold-plated characters "Spiritual Medicine Pavilion" on the ebony plaque.

Shang Wan certainly also thought about using names like "Wanxintang", "Renkangtang", "Jirenzhai" and other names that sound like drugstores, but she felt that these names were too euphemistic and could not reflect the characteristics of her own drugstore.

After much deliberation, the family had a difficult choice between 'Lingdan Pavilion' and 'Lingyao Pavilion', and finally voted for the name 'Lingyao Pavilion'.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, friends sent gifts.

Qiao Yu'an squeezed to the front, and the gift boxes piled behind him were taller than A'le's.

He bowed to Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing and said, "Congratulations, and good luck with the grand opening."

Lu Chengjing returned the gift, “I’ll lend you my good words.”

Shitou was responsible for receiving gifts, while Xiaohuan invited people inside.

The second person to give a gift was Chen Cai. He placed the gift on the table, congratulated Shang Wan, and went in to take a look.

The third person to present a gift was Manager Zhong from Linglong Casino. He said "Congratulations", put down the gift, and went in.

Next, Shan Dajun, He Sizhi, Gao Yan, Ma Jieyong, the restaurant owner, Wu Laodi, Yuan Musheng, Liu Cheng...

Suddenly someone in the crowd exclaimed, pointing at the man giving gifts at the door, "Look, isn't that Wu Ba? Why is the scar on his face gone?"
