Chapter One Hundred and Fortieth: Arranging Herbs

The second floor of the medical center.

Gu Xiaoyou checked the four rooms one by one and made some adjustments. Looking at the neat furnishings in the room, he said with satisfaction: "Very good, the layout is all right. You have worked hard."

With that said, Gu Xiaoyou took out some silver from his wallet: "Let's calculate the balance."

"Twenty taels in total," said the delivery boy.

Gu Xiaoyou took out the silver coins from his purse and counted them: "Here, twenty taels, you check."

The clerk counted it carefully and said enthusiastically: "Thank you, the amount is just right. If you need anything else, just come to the store to order."

The boy said and took out a card from his pocket.

Gu Xiaoyou took it in his hand and saw that it was a business card with the name and address of the store written on it.

She touched the material of the business card and looked at the pattern on the back. It was produced by the business card shop.

She never expected that one day she would receive a home-made business card, which made her feel quite strange.

Putting the business card in his pocket, he said with a smile: "Okay, I have the furniture I need, so I will go to your store to order it."

"Okay, I look forward to your patronage." The clerk said cleverly and left the hospital.

Gu Xiaoyou touched the business card in his pocket, smiled, and said to the boy: "Call a few boys to come over and clean the rooms upstairs."

"Yes." The boy responded and went to do it immediately.

Gu Xiaoyou went back downstairs and temporarily put all the medicinal materials behind the counter. She went to the backyard, put the medicinal materials in the backyard on the dustpan one by one, and put them on the shelves to dry.

Half an hour later, Gu Xiaoyou rubbed his sore waist and returned to the front hall. He sighed deeply when he thought that there were other medicinal materials on the counter that had not been sorted.

"It's no use just looking, you still have to work." Gu Xiaoyou sighed in front of the medicine cabinet for a while.

Gu Xiaoyou did as he said, wanting to take the medicinal materials out of the counter, then turned to look at the medicine cabinet.

"Sichuan and Qiang." She looked at the name on the drawer of the medicine cabinet, found the Sichuan and Qiang medicine package from the medicinal materials, opened the medicine package, picked out the good medicinal materials, and put them in the medicine cabinet drawer.

Gu Xiaoyou wrapped the leftover medicinal residue and put it on the counter: "Tian Dong."

She glanced at the name, continued to search among the medicinal materials, then picked out the good medicinal materials and put them in the drawer. After filling one drawer, she filled another drawer. It took half an hour to fill the top drawer.

"Ouch, my neck." Gu Xiaoyou pinched her sore neck: "Let me fill the bottom drawer first."

With that said, Gu Xiaoyou moved the small stool behind the consultation table to the front of the medicine cabinet, and sat on the small stool to sort out the medicinal materials.

As he got busy, he lost track of time. When the sun set, Zhou saw that Gu Xiaochong had not shown up for a long time, so he hurriedly went to the Taoist Medical Clinic to look for her.

As soon as I entered the door, I smelled the smell of Chinese medicine throughout the room. The front hall was a bit dark, only the weak sunlight shining through the window illuminated the front hall.

Zhou didn't see Gu Xiaoyou at first glance. She only heard rustling sounds in the front hall. She followed the sounds and found Gu Xiaoyou behind the counter.

I saw her with her head lowered, sitting on a small stool, with a paper bag spread out on her knees, her eyes looking at the medicinal materials for a moment, carefully flipping through the medicinal materials with her little hand, and putting it in the drawer with her other little hand.

.

Gu Xiaoyou was so focused that he neither noticed the change of time nor the arrival of Zhou.

Zhou waited for a while, and the sunlight gradually disappeared. Gu Xiaoyou was still burying his head in sorting the medicinal materials, and couldn't help calling out: "Xiaoyou, Xiaoyou."

After calling several times, Gu Xiaoyou noticed Ms. Zhou's arrival and looked at Ms. Zhou with some surprise: "Ah, it's Sister Zhou, why are you here?"

"The sun has gone down, and I came to find you home." Mrs. Zhou sighed: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you haven't come back."

Only then did Gu Xiaoyou notice the time and said apologetically: "Oh my god, it's already so dark."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Xiaoyou slapped his forehead: "Oh no, the medicinal materials in the backyard haven't been recovered yet."

As she said that, she was about to get up from the stool. Unexpectedly, after sitting for too long, her arms and legs were numb. When she got up, she didn't stand up and almost fell to the ground.

Zhou's eyes were quick to support her, and when Gu Xiaoyou stood firm, he said angrily: "Just stand here and wait while I go to the backyard to bring the medicinal materials back."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Zhou." Gu Xiaoyou rubbed her numb arm and said with a smile.

"Okay, my little ancestor, just wait here." Zhou shook her head helplessly, lit the candle, and carried the candlestick to the backyard.

Gu Xiaoyou stood supporting the counter for a while and stamped her feet. After the numbness in her legs passed, she got up and went to the backyard to move the medicinal materials to the front hall with Mrs. Zhou.

"Just put it on the ground. I'll come over tomorrow morning to sort it out." Gu Xiaoyou put away the last medicinal materials and placed them neatly on the ground in the front hall with Zhou.

Holding the candlestick, Mrs. Zhou glanced at the remaining medicinal materials behind the counter, then looked at the medicinal materials spread all over the floor, and said worriedly: "There are so many unorganized, how long will you be busy, do you want my help?"

"

"You don't understand pharmacology, so you can't help. I have to do it myself." Gu Xiaoyou said, seeing the worry on Zhou's face, he smiled: "Don't worry, I'll just take it slow."

"Okay." Ms. Zhou said pitifully, "Let's go home and I'll make you some soup to replenish your health."

"Okay, I love the soup cooked by Sister Zhou the most." Gu Xiaoyou shook Zhou's arm, and Zhou tapped the tip of her nose lovingly.

"Let's go."

"Okay." The two locked up the hospital, got on the carriage and rumbled toward home.

Gu Xiaoyou rubbed his sore arm and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that opening a medical clinic would be so troublesome. If it hadn't been for Mr. Chen, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy to open a medical clinic in Qingcheng County."

"Yes, it was easier when we were in Qingcheng County." Zhou agreed.

The two of them sighed at the same time, both missing their days in Qingcheng County. The carriage fell into silence as they pondered.

It was Gu Xiaoyou who broke the silence and said encouragingly: "Don't think about it, Sister Zhou. Since we are all in the capital, we can't always think about the past. We have to look forward."

"Well, I listen to you and look forward." Zhou replied with a smile.

Gu Xiaoyou smiled at Mrs. Zhou, suddenly remembered something, and asked with concern: "I'm just busy with the shop, how is your workshop going?"

"All the woad roots have been delivered, the workshop has been sorted out, and the tools have been prepared, but I don't know where to find them yet." Zhou explained the preparations of the workshop one by one.

"People..." Gu Xiaoyou was also a little worried: "I'll go find Master Meng tomorrow and find out where he recruits people from."
