Heavy snow is flying, which is extremely rare in Zhenjiang Mansion on the shore of the Yangtze River. Thanks to this cold winter, the shops in Zhenjiang Mansion are deserted and the whole city is silent in the dark.

A lamp is like a bean, lit up the ferry terminal. This is the place where the coolies live on the pier, and is famous for their dirty and messyness. But the front of the shop, which is illuminated by these two fiery red lanterns, is extremely neat and has no filth.

Under the fiery red light, the three golden characters of Baoan Hall are extremely dazzling.

The Security Hall has only been open for a year in Zhenjiang, and it has only been about seven months, but it is already well-known. Xu Xuan, the owner of this medicine shop, is a young man, but he has no bad habits of young people. He is very authentic in dealing with people. The coolie on the dock has any back pain and always comes here to get medicine. The owner of this shop always speaks kindly. Even if he has no money for a while, he can still pay a delay.

Of course, this does not mean that Xu Xuan is easy to bully. After only one month of coming here, the dock Yiba once said that he would charge a certain fee to ensure that no one came here to cause trouble, but Xu Xuan flatly refused.

On the second day, he fought with several gangsters who came here to make trouble, making them covered in blood and did not take a step back. The yamen runners who came to handle the case were surprised that Xu Xuan was so injured that he could still stand and walk.

Although it alarmed the government, Xu Xuan did not confess the gangsters on the dock, but instead covered up the past with false statements. The government officials are also more likely to be less than more, and they have no limits to the bottom.

Afterwards, Xu Xuan set up a banquet in the restaurant and invited the gangsters to come and offer five taels of silver Cheng Yi, which was considered to expose the grudges between the two families. From then on, there was no harassement here.

After getting rid of the troubles from the bottom, other troubles are no longer troubles. The security hall grew rapidly. Since this was the place where the coolies lived in the lower level, the pharmacy shop had never gained a foothold here, so the security hall was the only one.

But there is a problem. Although the Baoantang business is good, the profit is not much. The reason is that the coolies will not choose too expensive drugs when taking medicine. However, the highest profit is precious drugs such as ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, and snow lotus.

In order to open a branch as soon as possible, Xu Xuan broke his legs in Zhenjiang Prefecture City, inspected more than many places, and even his shoes were worn out.

Today is the day when the new store is completed.

Xu Xuan did not think of opening a branch so soon, but there was no way to go. The address he chose was at the intersection of Qiwang Lane and Mingyu Bridge. There were many wealthy families here, and there was already a pharmacy shop. However, according to Xu Xuan's observation, the other party was too petty in business, so he was very unhappy when people nearby took medicine. This was his opportunity. He did not think about squeeze the other party out. After all, it was because his foundation was too weak. Once the other party started a price war, the security hall would definitely not be able to hold on. What he asked was just a share of the pie!

On the dock, Yuan Xing was wiping the counter quickly and wiped the mottled tabletop clean. The furniture in the security hall, both the table and the chairs, were bought second-hand goods, and only the tall raw medicine cabinet was newly purchased, which cost a full eight taels of silver.

Yuan Xing was an apprentice who was looking for by Xu Xuan. He was originally a worker in a medicine shop, but the original old supervisor kept looking for trouble to drive him away in order to get his nephew in. Yuan Xing stayed cautiously for two years, but he found an excuse to plot him successfully. As a result, Yuan Xing was driven out and Xu Xuan picked up a ready-made one.

Yuan Xing is four years younger than Xu Xuan. He is too immature to stand alone, but now he can only drive the ducks to put them on the shelves and hold on!

Suddenly stopping the movement of wiping the table, Yuan Xing asked nervously: "Mr. Xu, can I really do it alone?"

Xu Xuan smiled and said, "Brother Xiaoxing, now you can do it, and you can do it if you don't. This afternoon, you will have to rely on you to support the storefront in this security hall!"

Yuan Xing stroked his chest, pressed it and jumped out of his throat, and asked, "The security hall was built by Mr. Xu who worked hard for several months. Now I'm leaving it alone. Are you really relieved?"

Xu Xuan said: "So, Brother Xiaoxing must work hard, don't mess up my hard work!" After saying that, Xu Xuan smiled again and said: "Brother Xiaoxing should not be so pressured. Most of the people here are familiar with each other, so there will be no big problems. You are not familiar with medicinal materials enough. If you have time, you have to study more, do you know?"

"I understand my husband's kindness!"

"Well, are you ready for Mr. Li's gift?" Xu Xuan asked again

Yuan Xing hesitated for a moment and advised: "The three gifts have been packaged. However, my husband, Xiaoxing dared to speak loudly. Mr. Li's reputation is really not very good! My husband should not get too close to him!"

Xu Xuan shook his head and smiled and said, "You don't understand! Mr. Li is my brother-in-law's uncle. Besides, when I first came to Zhenjiang Prefecture, Mr. Li took me into the industry. How dare I be rude? Besides, Mr. Li's reputation is his own business. We rely on the conscience of heaven and earth to do things, and we will never forget our righteousness when we see profits, so it's fine!"

Seeing Xu Xuan keeping, Yuan Xing stopped talking, and the store immediately became quiet, leaving only the sound of cleaning. Xu Xuan is more than ten times busy now than when he was in charge of Li Jiangshi's family, and he has to do everything himself. Sometimes, Xu Xuan really doubts that this diligent and inconspicuous person is really the lazy Xu Xuan who used to be?

But now I am used to being busy and can’t even get idle!

It was already dark outside. Although the weather was cold, there were a few pedestrians appearing on the streets! On the snow-covered road, a few lines of footprints were moving away.

Xu Xuan went out and said to Yuan Xing at the door: "If the business is light, remember to help the people from your neighbors sweep the snow!"

Yuan Xing smiled and said that!

Seeing that Xu Xuan had finished his instructions, there was nothing to say, so he stomped his feet, rubbed his cold hands, and yawned again, and then he took the gift to his new store! Before the opening, there was still a lot of work to do, and today was another fulfilling day!
Chapter completed!
