Chapter 136 Training
"I...I..." Sun Siping was speechless after hearing Yuan Feng's blunt retort.
"Why do you have anything else to say?" Yuan Feng looked at Sun Siping with interest.
"Hmph, you fire me just because you said so? Even if they are your young master, don't you need to listen to the opinions of the eldest and second young ladies?" Sun Siping was reluctant to give up this leisurely job, and he was still unwilling to give up, and even wanted to sow discord between Yuan Feng and the two girls.
"Opinion?" Yuan Feng was a little surprised that the old Taoist could say such a thing. He turned to look at Zhao Muxin, "Do you have any opinion?"
"Sister Jiuer and I both listen to Brother Feng." Zhao Muxin turned to Sun Siping in a peacemaker manner and said, "Master, you should ask Brother Feng yourself. He has the final say in this family."
Yuan Feng spread his hands and said, "Well, you've seen it too. They have no objection. Do you have anything else to say?"
"Okay, you're going to kick me out, right? Don't regret it!"
Yuan Feng was unmoved by Sun Siping's harsh words. If he continued to employ this scoundrel who only took money but did not do anything, he would really regret it.
It has only been a month or two, so the loss is not that big. The best thing to do is to stop the loss in time.
"Mu Xin, pay him his wages and get him out!"
"I don't want this month's wages. I don't need that little money!"
"It's a deal, double happiness!" Yuan Feng clapped his hands quickly. Now he had to ask Sun Siping to leave in person.
"Come, Master Sun, go this way. This is the door to leave."
"I know how to get out!" Sun Siping flicked his sleeves and strode out the door with anger and unwillingness.
"Brother Feng." Zhao Muxin was in a complicated mood as she watched Sun Siping leave. "It hasn't even been two months since I invited him here. I'm just kicking him out like this. Isn't that a bad idea?"
"Not good? Isn't it?" Yuan Feng glanced at Zhao Muxin and said seriously, "Muxin, you have to remember that the most difficult thing to guard against in the world is a thief in the house, and this old Taoist is obviously a thief in the house. The sooner such a person is driven away, the more peace there will be in the family."
"You need to practice your ability to judge people. Don't hire just anyone in your home in the future. Hire those who can work. Those who don't work should be fired immediately."
"I understand, Brother Feng." Zhao Muxin nodded repeatedly after listening.
Xiao Cui, who was rolling out dough at the side, was afraid that she would get burned, so she kneaded the dough so hard that sparks were about to come out.
Liu A-Zhou also found himself a job cleaning tables, and he almost tore the rag.
Yuan Feng was speechless when he saw this. He was just teaching Zhao Muxin how to manage things, and he wasn't making indirect accusations. Why were they so nervous?
"Brother Feng, you must be hungry too. Let me go cook."
"I'll help make the fire!" Liu A Zhou quickly raised his hand.
The three of them squeezed into a small kitchen and didn't feel hot at all.
Yuan Feng was also helpless. As expected, no one wanted to listen to preaching. The planning of the pharmacy could only be discussed during dinner.
Finally, the dinner table came and Zhao Muxin had no excuse to escape.
"The pharmacy is open? It seems you are also seeing patients?"
As for the pharmacy, Zhao Muxin was not opposed to it: "Of course not, business is good."
"How much did you make?"
"I can make a net profit of about one tael of silver a day."
"So many? Wouldn't our family be rich?" Yuan Feng pretended to be surprised.
Zhao Muxin was not a fool, so she could naturally hear Yuan Feng's sarcastic tone.
"Brother Feng, please stop laughing at me. I don't want to make any money."
Things are different now. In the past, one or two taels of silver might have been a lot for this family.
But now, the pharmacy was built with an investment of several thousand taels of silver, and it only makes one tael of silver a month. It will take thousands of years to make a profit, which is really not enough.
"Have you ever thought about why the pharmacy is not making money?"
"It may be that the price of medicines is a bit low, and I don't charge money for my consultations if I encounter patients who are in need."
"Is your price a bit low? It's ridiculously low!"
"What should I do? I can't bear to see those in need unable to afford medicine."
"Oh?" Yuan Feng put down his chopsticks. "Let me ask you, who needs to drink beauty tea?"
After this question, Zhao Muxin didn't dare to speak.
"You are too shameless, so you let others take advantage of you. You can't be shameless when doing business. From now on, the price of beauty tea and other medicines that are not used to treat injuries and diseases will be doubled."
"Double it? Will anyone buy it then?"
"Don't worry about this, Xiao Cui. Take a pen and paper tomorrow and change the prices of all the drugs I mentioned."
Xiao Cui, who was busy eating, didn't expect that she would have something to do: "But Master, I can't write."
"Then you come, Zhou. You can write, right?"
"Of course I can write, but Master, I still have to water the herbs tomorrow, so I can't rest for the whole day."
"Don't worry about the watering. I'm back. Leave the watering to me."
"Okay, Master."
"Also." Yuan Feng continued to look at Zhao Muxin, "From now on, no matter who buys the medicine, you are not allowed to charge less."
"What if you really have difficulties and cannot afford to pay?" Zhao Muxin asked.
"If anyone can't pay, let him come to me and I will personally help him solve the problem."
"Oh."
"By the way, I think there are a lot of empty berths next to the pharmacy, right?"
"Brother Feng, what are you talking about? There are only a few of us in our family. We don't have the ability to open a new store, so we have some free time."
"Rent it out!"
"Rent out all of them?"
"Keep two rooms and rent out the rest." Yuan Feng has his own plan.
After the meal, Yuan Feng explained all the existing problems to Zhao Muxin.
Zhao Muxin was so overwhelmed by what she heard.
Although she is thin-skinned, she still listens to Yuan Feng and does whatever Yuan Feng asks her to do.
After dinner, Yuan Feng returned to his room.
I finally have some free time to study the two martial arts books I got from the secret realm.
The first one: Xiantian Yaolei Jue.
After a brief practice, Yuan Feng could immediately feel the lightning gathering in his palm.
This set of skills was very suitable for him, and he had a lot of thunder-attributed spiritual energy in his body, so he could practice it with ease.
The second book: The Art of Controlling the Wind.
It is a wind-attributed body technique, upper earth level.
A small achievement is that the speed can match that of five horses, and the faster you run, the less spiritual power you consume.
After reaching the maximum speed, it can even approach the zero consumption level, allowing Yuan Feng to run without rest.
Combined with the double speed rule he obtained, it can reach the speed of ten horses, which is simply a great weapon for escape.
Yuan Feng was eager to learn both sets of skills, but he considered that practicing the skills required his full concentration.
Now I should practice some mental skills to calm my mind.
After finishing practicing the mental method, he remembered that there was still the issue of watering the medicinal fields that had not been resolved.
So he took out the Book of Puppetry and created four coolie puppets.
The coolie puppet was not complicated and he assembled it in just one night.
They are all second level, just right for using up the second level demon pills that were hidden earlier.
If you want to create another puppet in the future, you can only buy demon pills or hunt demons yourself.
