Chapter 199 Recruiting
Lu Chengjing, on the contrary, thought this was an advantage.
"There are two medical clinics and a drug store around the shop in the south of the city. They should have regular customers. If we open our drug store, we will be competing with them for business. There are all kinds of people in the south of the city. Who knows what tricks they will use."
Shang Wan understood what Lu Chengjing meant.
The competition in the shops in the north of the city is not as fierce as that in the south. The drugstores and restaurants do not have the problem of competing for customers, and they may even be able to reach cooperation and get along well.
But Shang Wan still had a concern.
"Although the competition in the south of the city is fierce, the three shops are at least doing well and have customers. The small clinic near the shop in the north of the city is about to go out of business. Is it not suitable for the medical business?"
Lu Chengjing said: "Maybe we can go to that clinic first to ask around."
Shang Wan also felt that he was careless and was in a hurry and forgot to go in and ask.
She said, "We can also ask around in the south of the city. Tomorrow, our family will go into the city together and split into two groups. We will go to the south and north of the city to find out the situation clearly before making a decision."
She felt that Chen Cai would not cheat her. There would be no problem with the shop itself, but the same could not be said about the neighbors.
Anyway, she only told Chen Cai that she would go see him tomorrow, but she didn't set a time. It wouldn't be too late to decide after finding out clearly.
Lu Chengjing also felt that this method was safe.
Shang Wan remembered something and looked at the person opposite him, "We need to recruit someone to prepare the medicinal materials."
They plan to produce and sell their own products, but as for manpower, relying on only three or two kittens at home is definitely not enough.
First of all, someone has to be in charge of the store. Shang Wan will have to stay in the store for a while and wait until the pharmacy is on the right track before considering other things.
But she couldn't handle it alone, so Shitou and Xiaohuan had to go to the store to help. When they left, the two children couldn't stay at home, they had to go to the pharmacy with them.
If you want to open a medicine shop, you have to prepare all the commonly used medicines. You can grow them in the spiritual fields, but most of them need to be processed after they are grown. If they rely on their own family members alone, wouldn’t they be exhausted to death?
We must recruit people!
Lu Chengjing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "What do you think about asking the villagers to do this?"
Shang Wan's eyes lit up.
Yes, there are so many people in the village, everyone knows each other, and they live close to each other, making them easier to manage. Isn’t it more convenient than finding outsiders?
As for the villagers who don't know how to prepare medicinal materials, they can teach them. If they don't have time, they can ask Yuan Musheng for help.
Of course, the help is not free. They can be paid monthly, which means they are paying to hire a doctor as a teacher for the villagers.
Yuan Musheng had taught Lu Chengjing how to process herbs before, and he didn't teach him medical skills, so he shouldn't refuse.
As for whether the villagers would go up the mountain to collect herbs, prepare them and sell them after learning how to make them, Shang Wan didn't think it was a problem.
Everyone can make money. Besides, their pharmacy not only sells medicinal materials but also buys them. As long as the price is reasonable, I believe the villagers will give priority to their pharmacy.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was feasible. The two discussed the matter in detail and decided to inform the villagers about it after the shop was settled.
Shang Wan has stored a lot of herbal trees in his space, so he can shake out a bunch of herbs at any time.
After discussing family matters, Lu Chengjing mentioned Chu Xu's father and brother.
It has been almost half a month since I received the reply, and the person who was supposed to pick up Chu Xu has not arrived yet. I wonder what happened on the way.
Shang Wan said: "How about writing another letter to ask?"
Speaking of writing letters, Shang Wan remembered that she didn't see Chu Xu when she came back. Usually when she came back, the children would run out to pick her up.
Lu Chengjing said: "Anian is sleeping in the room."
The drug had a strong aftereffect. Chu Xu felt dizzy when he woke up in the morning. Shang Wan quietly fed him a drop of spiritual spring water.
After drinking the spiritual spring water, Chu Xu's head didn't hurt anymore, but he felt very sleepy and yawned three or four times in the time it took him to finish a sentence.
Lu Chengjing felt worried, so he took out the spiritual spring water that Shang Wan had left for him and fed the child another drop.
I hope that when I wake up, the effects of the drug will have worn off.
"Did he ask Yu Da and Yu Er?"
"I asked." Lu Chengjing nodded, "I said they ran away."
Shang Wan: “…”
Is there anyone who treats children as perfunctorily as you do?
"Did he believe it?"
"I don't think he believed it." Lu Chengjing thought Chu Xu was a very smart kid, "but he didn't ask any further questions."
Shang Wan: "Then just assume he believes it."
Lu Chengjing: “…”
·
Chu Xu slept for three hours and slept until night.
The child was so hungry that he started calling Xiaohuan while still in the house, and kept calling all the way to the kitchen.
"Aunt Xiaohuan, I'm so hungry."
The child's hair was messy from sleeping, and his black hair stuck limply to his face. His little face was two points paler than usual, and his pair of cat-like eyes were watery, looking quite pitiful.
Xiaohuan had already prepared the food for him. She opened the lid of the pot, handed the food to him, and asked him to take it out and eat.
Chu Xu couldn't wait, so he stood at the chopping board and stuffed two fried meatballs into his mouth. His cheeks were bulging like a hamster.
"Awake?" Shang Wan came in holding Yuanyuan, and rubbed the child's head. "Does your head still hurt? Are you dizzy?"
Chu Xu had something in his mouth and couldn't speak, so he just shook his head.
Yuanyuan stretched out her little hand and pulled the hair on Chu Xu's head that was about to fall apart. She felt that her own hair looked better.
Chu Xu looked up at her, pointed at the fried meatballs with his chopsticks, and silently asked Yuanyuan if she wanted to eat it.
Yuanyuan had just eaten, and her belly was full, so she had no interest in the fried meatballs.
Seeing this, Chu Xu ate by himself.
Shang Wan took him to the main room, and waited until the child had eaten his fill before he mentioned the matter of writing another letter to the border.
Chu Xu was stunned, "Why do you still want to write?"
"Just in case." Shang Wan pinched his little face without further explanation, and just said, "Don't think too much."
How could Chu Xu not have wild thoughts?
His mind is now full of assassins, assassins, assassins, assassins...
The people sent by his father and brother to pick him up should have arrived long ago, but they haven't yet, so they may have met with an accident.
The child's good mood visibly dropped. If depression could be visualized, Shang Wan felt that she should be able to see a dark cloud over the child's head, the kind that would bring rain.
She took Chu Xu's hand and walked towards the study.
"Write the letter first."

On the second day, Xiao Hui stayed behind to look after the house, while Shang Wan and his party had breakfast and drove the ox cart into the city.
The ox cart first went to the north of the city to drop off Lu Chengjing and Xiaohuan.
"It's this shop." Shang Wan pointed and said to the two, "Meet at the restaurant opposite in a while."
"it is good."
"Sister, be careful."
Shang Wan agreed and drove the ox cart straight to the south of the city.
The ox cart stopped in a remote alley.
Shitou got off the ox cart first, then turned around and picked up the two kids.
Shang Wan took Yuanyuan and said to Shitou, "You and A-Nian go to the two clinics over there. I'll take Yuanyuan to the medicine store. Remember to ask the neighbors about the store's situation."
Shitou had no objection and pulled Chu Xu away.
After the two of them disappeared, Shang Wan looked down at the baby in his arms and said, "My dear, you can call your friends over now."
