Chapter 776: Medical Advancement

The Chu family’s products became wildly popular overnight. It seemed as though everyone in Wan City knew about them, especially after the epidemic.

Chu Qingzhi became famous throughout the land. Anything associated with her

was highly regarded by the people.

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself that the orders from Wan City were not yet fully processed. Accepting new orders would overload the workshop.

“Our workshop can only produce so much each day. Even if I wanted to expand the business, it’s not possible right now, Young Master Qin. I’m sorry.

Qin Yunfei didn’t expect Chu Qingzhi’s business to be in such high demand. Usually, it was the other way around, with others pleading for a partnership.

But with Chu Qingzhi, the situation was reversed. “May I ask, Miss, how long before you have goods available?”

Chu Qingzhi replied, “We need to wait until the business in Wan City stabilizes.

It’s only been a month or two, so it’s hard to say right now.”

Qin Yunfei felt a sense of regret. He had come with high hopes, only to leave disappointed. “Miss Chu, is there really no way?”

Seeing Qin Yunfei’s sincerity, Chu Qingzhi did not outright refuse him. “We do have a business in medicinal products. I wonder if Young Master Qin would be interested?”

Qin Yunfei responded, “Please elaborate, Miss.”

Chu Qingzhi explained, “My fourth sister can prepare a cream that removes stretch marks. It can also heal scars and such. Qingyan can prepare a freckle­removing cream and a whitening cream. All three creams are very effective and have become widely popular among the noble ladies in the capital, to the point where supply can’t meet demand.”

“Currently, only my fourth sister and Qingyan are preparing these creams, so production is limited. If we turn this into a proper business, we could hire help and produce in larger quantities.”

“Young Master Qin might want to consider this.”

Qin Yunfei was unfamiliar with this area, but hearing that it was popular among the picky noble ladies of the capital intrigued him. If the capital’s noble ladies used it, the products must be good.

“Miss, could you provide some samples for me to try?’

“Just a moment.” Chu Qingzhi went upstairs and returned with a bottle of each cream, “Young Master Qin, these are the creams I mentioned.”

The bottles were custom-made.

The stretch mark cream bottle had a water ripple pattern.

The freckle cream had a black little bird.

The whitening cream featured a fair-skinned young gill.

The bottles were small and distinctive, each appealing in its own right.

Qin Yunfei smelled the creams. They were fragrant, and just smelling them was quite soothing. “Miss, may I take these to try?”

“Of course, these creams are a gift to Young Master Qin, as a token of our potential partnership.”

“Thank you, Miss.”

Qin Yunfei took the creams and left. He then returned to Wan City to try the products.

Half a month ago, near the village that lies on the path from Chu’s village to

Xu’s village, Chu Qingning opened a medical clinic.

The clinic saw an increasing number of patients seeking help, making it inconvenient to treat them at the old residence due to space constraints. Thus, the clinic was established.

The clinic was rather large, constructed with bamboo. It had areas for consultations and for dispensing medicines. Now, patients could receive their prescriptions directly without needing to go to the city, which was very convenient.

Chu Qingning couldn’t manage alone, so she chose two apprentices from her students, a boy and a girl, both twelve. The boy was Ye Qingfu, and the girl was

Sun Xiaolan.

Both had excellent characters, were quiet, and meticulous in their work.

This midterm, they were at the bottom of their class, feeling out of place in academic studies. So, when Chu Qingning mentioned needing apprentices, they were the first to volunteer.

Opportunities come to those who are prepared. Thus, they became Chu Qingning’s apprentices.

They still attended morning classes to learn more characters, but no longer needed to study mathematics in the afternoon.

At the clinic, Chu Qingning diagnosed a young woman, “Congratulations, you’re pregnant, about a month and a half along. Just be careful.

The young woman was overjoyed, “Thank you, doctor. This is my first pregnancy. Is there anything I need to be cautious about?”

Chu Qingning advised, “Avoid heavy lifting. Light activities are fine. Also, eat more meat to ensure good nutrition.”

The young woman cautiously asked, “Do I need to take any medicine to ensure the pregnancy?”

Chu Qingning assured, “Your pulse is steady; you don’t need any medication.

Just follow my advice.”

The young woman thanked her and left, happy and hopeful.

Soon after, a well-dressed woman approached the consultation desk. Her skin was sallow and dull, and she was thin. She looked around hesitantly, as if hiding something, “Miss, can you check me? I don’t feel well, but I’m embarrassed to see a male doctor in the county.”

Chu Qingning reassured her, “Don’t worry, let me check you.” After a thorough examination, Chu Qingning softly asked, “Madam, did you have a miscarriage about six months ago?”

The woman was shocked, “How did you know?”

Chu Qingning nodded, “It’s clear.” She continued, “Since then, have you had continuous spotting, a feeling of heaviness, and occasional pain?”

From shock to disbelief, the woman replied, “Miss, you’re exactly right. I’ve seen some midwives and taken some medicines, but nothing has improved.”

Chu Qingning reassured, “I’ll prescribe you some medicine. You’ll feel better in three days.”

“Thankyou, doctor.”

The woman took the medicine, paid, and left, hopeful for relief.

At home, she brewed the prescribed medicine. Shortly after drinking it, she expelled a mass of unknown substance and felt instantly lighter.

Three days later, she was completely healed.

She later returned with generous gifts to thank Chu Qingning.

Chu Qingyan arrived at the clinic with three young women. One was Xu Xiqin, the daughter of a neighboring village landlord; the others were her cousins, Xu Ximin and Xu Xishuang.

Xu Xiqin had used Chu Qingyan’s whitening cream, and her complexion had improved remarkably, making her cousins envious. They also wanted to buy some.

“Fourth sister,” Chu Qingyan glanced at the queue inside the clinic and thought, “So many people.”

Chu Qingning looked up, “Why are you here?”

“To see you and buy some creams.”

Chu Qingning directed them to the adjacent room for the creams.

“Okay.”

Xu Ximin and Xu Xishuang followed Chu Qingyan, while Xu Xiqin approached Chu Qingning’s desk, hesitating.

Chu Qingning finished writing a prescription for a patient and asked, “Is there something you need?”

Xu Xiqin whispered, “Can we talk privately?”

Chu Qingning nodded and they moved to a private room.

Once inside, Chu Qingning closed the door, “Go ahead.”

Xu Xiqin lowered her voice, anxious, “Sister Qingning, every time I menstruate, my stomach hurts terribly. Do you have any way to help ease the pain?”
