Chapter Ninety-Four: New Year's Goods
Chapter Ninety-Four: New Year's Goods
This year's Huichun Hall is unbelievably prosperous, and it has earned more than 80,000 taels of silver just by selling finished medicines. The main source of procurement is the first large, and the main procurement force is the maritime merchants from Fujian and Guangdong provinces. The largest sales in the local area are cold pills (capsules) and various anti-insect medicines, which have no seasonal restrictions at all.
Chen Xie did not participate in the sharing of the cash money from selling medicine, he asked for some wild ginseng (less than 100 years old), cordyceps, and recently added one thing, golden silk nanmu. The shopkeeper Yu looked at him incomprehensibly at the time, so far away that people could transport wood!
The salary paid by Shopkeeper Yu to everyone is a cloth bag with a strip on the mouth, and the red paper with the name written on the cloth bag is pasted on it. The ten doctors are all experienced doctors from all over the world. Each person brought five apprentices, just for this, the two nearby stores were down, and the backyard was several times larger.
When the doctors got the cloth bags, they weighed them a few times and smiled with satisfaction. This year, I didn't work in vain, and at the end of the year, I finally had a lot of income, and I was able to have a good year. The year-end bonus of 20 taels of silver per person is another new term, which Chen Xie learned from him. Surprisingly, each apprentice also had a red envelope, not much, only two taels of silver, but everyone's faces showed a smile of ecstasy.
The average apprentice eats two meals a day, and during the New Year's holiday, he sends a few catties of millet, which is a very kind owner. Huichun Hall is different, under Chen Xie's insistence, he eats three meals a day, one thin meal and two dry meals, and each dry meal has a meat dish. Or a piece of salted fish, or a piece of meat, in order to eat, the Huichun Hall also specially added a canteen.
At the end of the year, everyone thought it would be good to have a ten pound and eight pounds of millet, and they didn't want to give each person two taels of silver. Is there any reason not to like it? After receiving the red envelopes, Chen Xie spoke: "Yu Yao, you come to announce." ”
As Chen Xie's only inner disciple, Yu Yao now has the power to prescribe medicine, of course, limited to some pills and pills. Even so, Yu Yao is already very prestigious, and Liu Gaoming will not hold it up in front of him.
"At the end of the year, according to the meaning of the teacher, some students who study hard and have good conduct will be rewarded with certain materials. The number of people is small, and the ...... of the Merit Award winners are announced below. "There are three apprentices whose names are recited, and they are all unanimously optimistic about the most right-wing apprentices and the fastest progressing apprentices.
The three apprentices who were very excited, when they stepped forward, the apprentices below undoubtedly had all kinds of emotions in their eyes. There are not many prizes, just an enamel basin with two canned luncheon meat and a towel in it.
When I picked up the teacup, the water was cold. Chen Xie, who habitually wanted to bend down to grab a hot water kettle, had not poured water by himself for a long time, suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, and he burst into tears for a while. Damn, why did you forget about this big killer, how much silver would you have to delay?
"Next, move on to the second award, the Best Diligence Award, the Best Conduct Award!" This time there were more people coming up, six people, and the prize was just one less enamel basin than before. The students on the stage looked satisfied and proud. After taking the prizes and bowing to the masters and owners, the award ceremony is over.
The doctors will not be jealous of the students' prizes, they have long known that the owner has prepared a big gift package. Cigarettes, wine in glass bottles, and canned food of all kinds are available. Don't be jealous of these apprentices who do everything all year round.
As Chen Xie's representative, Yu Yao finally completed the presiding over the reward conference, and this process undoubtedly further increased his prestige. Looking at Chen Xie, Yu Yao announced loudly: "Finally, I invite Shizun to come to the stage to make a year-end summary." ”
Well, many of the new terms of Huichuntang were invented by Chen Xie, and they soon became popular among various businesses in Dengzhou.
Chen Xie, who walked on the stage, looked at the young people standing in the courtyard with a smile, these children cherish the opportunity to learn, in fact, they are all studying hard, and they are very good. However, Chen Xie still has to think about creating some gaps and creating the internal and external environment of competition. Smart children should be rewarded for learning quickly, for diligent learning, and for being kind to others and having good relationships with their classmates. Not all the people who go out here are qualified doctors, but also management talents and practical talents. Chen Xie wants to let these children understand a truth, there are many roads to success, and they will be recognized if they work hard.
Well, it was a successful flicker! Chen Xie won't say anything else, what he wants to say is.
"Everybody's very nice, they're all great guys. I didn't win the award this year, but I will work hard next year. In the end, I won't talk too much nonsense. I prepared some New Year's goods for everyone, and when I left, I went to the concierge to get it, and I have it! Let's adjourn! ”
The doctors can still remain calm, and the New Year's goods have long been known. The apprentices are not calm, they have all been handed out silver, and there are still New Year's goods? This is too unscientific, right? I have heard of the kindness of the divine doctor, and the meals eaten every day have been reflected. I didn't expect .......
Chen Xie, who is strict and lacks talents, treats every child studying here as a treasure, and every doctor who teaches children here, lest they fail to do their best. That's why it's heavy-handed! As long as you work hard, it will make you feel that your efforts have been rewarded with great value, and if you don't work hard next year, are you worthy of this reward?
In general, the people of the Ming Dynasty were still very easy to manage, and they were relatively simple.
After Chen Xie finished speaking, he flashed, and the apprentices of semi-military management habitually queued up to receive New Year's goods. There are not many things, one basket per person, a bag of flour, and one cardboard box. In the basket is a fish, three catties of meat, and a catty of lard, the flour is a ten-pound cloth bag, and in the cardboard box is a new dress for the New Year.
After receiving the New Year's goods, each apprentice was red-eyed, and the first apprentice started a start, kowtowing three times to the divine doctor who sat on the side to watch everyone receive the New Year's goods, and then he couldn't take it anymore. Chen Xie didn't dare to move when he wanted to go to the toilet, he couldn't walk, it was too hard for the child. So I can only hold it back, and wait for the fifty children to leave, and then go to the pit to solve it happily.
One person picked up a burden, and the apprentices walked out of the rejuvenation hall with laughter, in contrast, the doctors were much calmer, called a wheelbarrow, loaded with large bags of New Year's goods, and the intimate owner even knew that several members of the family knew that one person had a new dress. Before leaving, he bowed respectfully to the proprietor who saw him off, got on the wheelbarrow, and went home proudly for the New Year.
If you die for your confidant, in the coming year, you will work hard for your boss!
As the old man of the Rejuvenation Hall, Liu Gaoming was the last to leave, and the carriage of the owner was responsible for sending him home, which was enough to make this honest man who had studied medicine all his life feel guilty. Not to mention, there are still heavy documents in his pocket, and the Rejuvenation Hall given by the owner is half a stock. What else is there to say? Secretly wiped the cloudy tears from the corners of his eyes, straightened his waist and sat up straight.
Liu Gaoming's home is actually not far away, only a village five miles away from Dengzhou City. When the carriage stopped at the gate of the fence yard, the children of the family were waiting at the door, looking at the four-wheeled carriage that symbolized status and status in Dengzhou City with fear. The old and young masters of the village also gathered around.
The old wife of the family, supported by her daughter, stood in the yard waiting for him to come home. There are 20 days of holiday for the New Year, which is specially taken care of by the owner. Other doctors and apprentices, before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, had to take turns to go to the Huichun Hall to sit on duty, which was also a precedent for Dengzhou City.
Getting off the carriage and feeling the envious eyes of the villagers, Liu Gaoming's steps were steady. The coachman got out of the car and was busy unloading the New Year's goods, and the two eldest sons hurried over to help. There are too many things, and Liu Gaoming only knew about it before he got in the car. 100 catties of white flour, 100 catties of millet, two pork legs, and 20 catties of dried scallops. Six cardboard boxes, I don't know what they contain.
As the pillar of this family, Liu Gaoming naturally sat in the middle hall, looked at his eldest son, who was working at home, and politely sealed the car money with a penny of silver to the coachman and sent it away. Only then did he come out and arch his hand to the four sides: "Gao Ming thanked the neighbors." As he spoke, he took out the tin canned cigarettes from his pocket and handed them to his two sons to disperse, as well as a bag of paper-wrapped candy cubes, which were originally intended to be eaten for the grandchildren during the New Year. Therefore, let the son take it, grab a handful into the child's pile and scatter it, and only after sprinkling it is finished.
After finally quieting down, the family was busy counting the New Year's goods, and suddenly the little daughter-in-law exclaimed: "Mom! ”
Everyone was also shocked when they saw it, and in a cardboard box, dozens of catties of fresh melons and vegetables were slowly filled. The youngest son said: "No wonder, this box was the heaviest when I moved, and the feelings were this." ”
Liu Gaoming knew that Chen Xie had made some fresh melons and vegetables, but he didn't expect that he would have his own share. This would be a deep sigh, and he said to his two sons: "After the year, please ask someone to do the work in the field, you have all studied for a few years, and you all go to work for the divine doctor." ”
Shopkeeper Yu told him about this matter, but he never agreed, and now, he can make up his mind.
United firm, Chen Xie looked impatient, and he was really underwhelmed. Shopkeeper Liu knows his virtues, so he doesn't talk nonsense. took a piece of paper and handed it to him, "Master, this is the total, and I will send it to Zhuangzi for you tomorrow." ”
Chen Xie didn't even look at it, put it away and said, "It's okay, right?" It's okay, let me tell you something, next year I will buy all the land in several villages on the edge of Zhangjiazhuang, can I do it? ”
Shopkeeper Liu said with a sad face: "My miracle doctor, it's easy to buy people, but it's difficult to buy land!" You don't know who is willing to make a move. Chen Xie was also speechless, people in this era, that brain couldn't communicate at all.
"Then take Zhangjiazhuang as the center and expand in all directions, buy as much as you want. Don't send the money, and next year you will arrange someone to be in charge of buying land. "Chen Xie seems to be going to go dark on the road to becoming a big landlord in the Ming Dynasty.
