Chapter 413 Shen Zhao Hands Over Silver
"Doctor Dong, I actually don't know what this medicine is. I bought it from a doctor I met before. He said it can reduce fever and the effect is really good, so I bought a few packs as a backup."
“That’s just a few packets.”
She added.
This is Western medicine, I don't think the doctor can figure out anything about it.
But who would ask who the bell doctor is?
Just like Wu Cheng'en, now everyone knows that the vernacular novel "Journey to the West" was written by Wu Cheng'en. Even if you go to ask about this person, you are destined to find nothing.
Seeing Su Wanwan giving him a packet, Doctor Dong was very excited. He rubbed his hands on his body and then took it respectfully.
"This medicine is so precious, thank you ma'am."
But in my heart, I was wondering who the bell doctor was. The bell doctor was the barefoot doctor. The anthelmintic medicine I took last time was also prescribed by the barefoot doctor, and this time the antipyretic medicine was bought from the barefoot doctor again.
He even wondered if it was the same doctor.
This doctor must be a medical genius, traveling around the world with an unknown whereabouts.
Why can't he meet such an immortal?
Su Wanwan didn't know that Doctor Dong had already given this bell doctor a golden glow, and she wouldn't care even if she knew.
Doctor Dong wanted to give her money to buy the medicine, but Su Wanwan refused. So Doctor Dong said he would waive Jiang Shun's medical expenses.
This time Su Wanwan did not refuse. After all, the package of medicine was indeed precious. In Doctor Dong's hands, maybe he could save another child.
The child was fine, so Shen Yuan called Jiang Shun out to inquire about the caravan. After that, he looked at the sky and immediately went to accompany his wife to purchase.
The New Year is coming soon and there are so many things to buy.
There were quite a few materials needed for the Laba Festival, and there was also the gift of salary to be prepared for Shen Zhao, so they were all bought together.
Su Wanwan had prepared a list and had plenty of space, so she just bought everything she could.
However, the New Year gifts for the workshop workers are in large quantity, so they still have to be reserved in advance.
For example, she planned to give out three pounds of pork to each person. The workshop planned to take a holiday on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year gifts would also be sent out before the holiday, just in time for the New Year's Eve, and everyone was happy.
For example, soybean oil also needs to be ordered from my second uncle’s family in advance, five pounds per person.
In addition, each person was given two kilograms of rice. Rice is precious, and the main food here is pasta, and people rarely eat rice. But children love to eat it, so two kilograms per person is not too much.
Finally, order some pastries, and add two pounds of bean curd sheets from the workshop, and that’s about it.
The rice was taken away directly, and we agreed with the other party to pick up the pork and pastries on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month. After paying the deposit, we just needed to stop by and let Second Uncle know on the way back.
After getting into the carriage, we first put the rice into the space. Two kilograms of rice per person, not a lot, but the carriage can hold it all.
Then the two looked at Shen Zhao and feared that he had not yet finished school. Thinking of "Journey to the West", Su Wanwan and Shen Yuan went to the bookstore.
There are currently only three copies of this book, which are very thin booklets, and they have all been pre-ordered. The boss said that if you want one, you must pre-order it first, and he will reserve it for you when it is available.
In fact, this book has been very popular recently. Every student has a copy and the demand is exceeding supply.
But nowadays most of these books are copied by scholars, and the publication is too slow, so they can only be pre-ordered.
The two men had no intention of buying it, so they asked and went to the theater to say goodbye to the old lady.
When Ye Jingxue came, she was also brought in a separate carriage. She left first, and Shen Yuan and Su Wanwan went to pick up Shen Zhao.
"Believe it or not, Shen Zhao will definitely give me a large sum of money when he comes out later."
Su Wanwan joked.
Shen Zhao used to copy this book when he had nothing to do at home. The book became very popular in this month. Although it has only been a month, judging from the development trend, he must have made a lot of money.
"He's quite capable. He managed to make such a big noise without making any noise."
Shen Yuan snorted lightly, he had underestimated his younger brother in the past.
Su Wanwan immediately grabbed him:
"Don't blame him. He told me about it, but I didn't expect him to make such a big fuss. But this also shows that Shen Zhao is very capable. He is not a bookworm. We should be proud of him for being able to accomplish this."
Shen Yuanhui held her hand and said with a smile, "How could I blame him? He deserves praise. This book is interesting. There is nothing wrong in copying it out for more people to read."
While the couple was talking, Shen Zhao had already come out of the academy, carrying a basket of books and holding bedding.
He saw the family's carriage from a distance and ran over excitedly.
However, when he arrived in front of her, he suddenly stopped, bowed and saluted. He was self-disciplined and polite. What a good child.
Su Wanwan felt that Shen Zhao would have a great future and might even become a famous official.
With this personality and appearance, if he were put in other novels, he would probably grow up to be a high-ranking official like the Prime Minister who can make everything happen with a wave of his hand.
"Come up quickly, it's cold outside."
After Su Wanwan called out to him, Shen Zhao got on the carriage, but he still didn't go in.
It is not in accordance with etiquette.
He was sitting outside with his elder brother, but soon after the carriage left, he took out a silver note from his bookcase.
"Sister-in-law, this money is for you."
He turned around and handed the banknote over directly.
The carriage door was open, and Su Wanwan only had to stand behind a curtain to talk to them.
Su Wanwan was prepared. She took the banknote and started looking at it.
It was actually fifty taels!
"So many, Shen Zhao. It's only been a month and Journey to the West has sold out."
When Shen Zhao heard this, he knew that his brother and sister-in-law knew about his book selling, and he apologized immediately:
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance."
Su Wanwan smiled and said:
"Didn't you tell me? I agree, Shen Zhao, you did a great job, we should encourage and praise you."
Hearing his sister-in-law say this, Shen Zhao curled his lips and looked at his eldest brother again.
Seeing that his eldest brother also had a grin on his face, he also grinned even wider, like his eldest brother.
"Sister-in-law, brother, let me tell you, this is only the first month, it's still a small amount, there will be more and more in the future. I have told the owner of the bookstore that I am not selling this book directly to him, he has to give me 10% of the money for every book he sells."
"Originally I wanted 20%, but the book is not expensive, and the paper and copying costs a lot. I don't participate in these things. I am only responsible for the content. So I just take 10%, but it is 10% of the price, not 10% of the profit."
Shen Zhao told him about his achievements during this period, and about the price offered by the theater. However, he did not know anyone at the theater, so he negotiated with them through the people at the bookstore.
The content of a play was bought out for ten taels of silver, half of which was paid to him and the other half to the bookstore.
But if this book is to be turned into a play, it would require many scenes, at least a hundred scenes, which is really a lot.
He also determined the price after market research, according to my sister-in-law.
He found many students from the college to do the research together and paid them.
Many poor students in the academy are now copying books every day, which can be considered a source of income.
After hearing what he said, Su Wanwan was also shocked.
There were various businesses in the family workshop, and Shen Zhao had never participated in them, but when she discussed these things with Shen Yuan, she did not avoid him.
He always listened quietly and never expressed his opinion, but I didn't expect that he had learned a lot of business skills.
It turns out that top students learn everything quickly.
