Chapter 159 Oath and planning
The bullock cart entered the city, and Chu Nanzhi took Sibao Lin Ruijia to the former bank to exchange gold and silver into silver notes, and then bought some pastries for the little guy in the downtown area to eat.
I came across an idle shop on the road, and wanted to inquire about it, but the owner of the shop turned cold and refused to let her see it when he heard that it was the Chu family.
Afterwards, I went to several houses in a row, and the situations I encountered were all similar.
Chu Nanzhi faintly sensed that she might be inseparable from the Qi family.
This kind of local snake entrenched in one side is simply more terrifying than the government.
Reminiscent of the newly opened restaurants that were smashed recently, she unconsciously connected the Qi family together.
The Qi family made their fortune in the casino business at the beginning, so there are probably a lot of evil forces behind them. As long as no one is killed, the government actually has nothing to do with them.
As the fourth uncle of the Lin family said yesterday, a group of people have been arrested, but after a few days of peace, these forces are like weeds that spring up again, and continue to jump out to make trouble.
Fish fry are not allowed to be bought, and restaurants are not allowed to open. This is completely blatantly oppressing others, and not paying attention to her as a modern person.
"Since this is the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Chu Nanzhi said secretly in her heart: "Anyway, I used to be an Interpol. I haven't seen any kind of treacherous criminals, and I haven't caught any kind of large-scale crime gang with high IQ. Fighting fiercely with my mother, how can my mother Let you go bankrupt and don’t know what’s going on.”
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth fiercely, then looked at Xiao Sibao with warm eyes, and said gently: "Let's get your daddy the medicine first."
Sibao seemed to notice the displeasure on her face, and asked cautiously, "Aniang, shall we still open the restaurant?"
"On, of course it has to be on."
Not only must it be opened, but it must be bigger than all the restaurants in the county.
Chu Nanzhi swore secretly.
As a result, the money in his hand is a bit stretched.
Although there was a hundred taels of silver sent by Lin Jinshu over the fish pond, he still had to take a few dozen taels out of his own hands for budgeting.
As for the restaurant, she originally planned to rent a shop of about 200 square meters for decoration. The rent of such a smaller restaurant and the budget of various aspects add up to about five or six hundred taels of silver, leaving about two hundred taels It is almost handy to do turnover, even if the business is not as good as expected, it can be maintained for a period of time.
But now that the Qi family has pushed her to this point, she has to make another plan.
Collecting her thoughts, she took Xiao Sibao to the medical clinic.
In addition to Hongwen Medical Clinic, which has a close relationship with her, among the time-honored medical clinics in the county, the other is Bocheng Medical Clinic owned by the second uncle of the Lin family.
I wanted to go to the Lin family's medical clinic, but thinking about the face of my second uncle last time, Chu Nanzhi gave up the idea and went straight to the Hongwen medical clinic.
It's just that the old shopkeeper of Hongwen Medical Center doesn't take money every time, which makes her a little embarrassed, and she didn't expect Qian Hongwen to be so committed. When she heard him say this, she took it as a joke.
The ox cart slowly arrived at the Hongwen Medical Center, and there was an endless stream of people buying medicines, all of them queuing up in a long line.
Chu Nanzhi brought the little four treasures into the door. Seeing that it was an honored person from the hospital, the descendants of the medical hall immediately greeted them with smiles, and invited the mother and daughter into the inner hall.
Qian Hongwen was counting the medicinal materials in the hall at this time, when he saw Chu Nanzhi's figure, he was so happy that he quickly got up to watch the seats.
Counting it, I haven't seen this nobleman for some days. The old doctor hurriedly asked the young man to make tea with a red face, and enthusiastically brought snacks and fruits for the little four treasures for the little guy to eat.
"This old man reckoned that Ling Husband's medicine should be enough. I got a new batch of medicinal materials in the past few days. I thought I would send some over these two days, but I didn't expect the lady to come by herself. I'm really sorry."
Qian Hongwen stroked his beard slowly, with a contented expression on his face: "Miss Chu, later, let the old man fetch the newly obtained medicinal materials for you to have a look at."
After finishing speaking, he rushed to the medicine hall in good spirits, and after a while brought a lot of wrapped medicinal materials and put them on the table, pointing to her one by one: "This is the four gentlemen's soup, which is specially reconfigured by the old man. Husband has suffered such a serious injury, it can be used for recuperation."
Chu Nanzhi fixed her eyes and saw that there were ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos and licorice inside, and she couldn't help but nodded: "They are all good medicinal materials."
Qian Hongwen also nodded happily, then opened another package mysteriously, and said with a smile: "There is also this angelica, which is the holy medicine for nourishing blood. It is the first batch of medicinal materials that our county just planted last year. I have prepared some of the purchase channels that came with a lot of money for Mrs. Chu, take them back and use them for Husband Ling to recuperate his body."
"Let the old doctor bother."
Chu Nanzhi was very moved. It seems that the prescription of Mabotang was given to the right person.
"Miss Chu, don't be polite to the old man."
Qian Hongwen pursed his lips and said with a slight smile: "Thanks to the prescription given by the lady, now you can see that the business of this medical clinic is getting more and more prosperous, and it is almost too busy. The old man even specially hired two more assistants."
"It's all the merits and virtues accumulated by the old doctor Xuanhu Jishi himself. I just tried my best, which is nothing. The old doctor is too flattering."
Chu Nanzhi said humbly, took out the money from the purse, and continued: "I will accept these medicinal materials, but the old doctor must accept the money this time, otherwise."
Before she could finish speaking, Qian Hongwen frowned immediately: "Ms. Chu is slapping me in the face. I have always kept my promises when I say something. Not only can I not accept the money, but I have to thank you Lady Chu."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took a purse that he had prepared earlier from the medicine cabinet beside him, and said reverently: "The fifty taels of silver is still acceptable to Mrs. Chu. I heard that Uncle Ling passed away a while ago, and the old man went out to seek medical treatment. I feel very sorry for not returning in time to express my condolences, so you must accept the fifty taels of silver."
"The old doctor is serious. Life and death are the norm in the world. Doctors should put saving lives and helping the wounded first. Although I feel sad about my uncle's death, I can't delay the old doctor's treatment."
Chu Nanzhi said, and pushed back the money resolutely: "The old doctor has already rewarded the prescription I gave before, so I can't take this money no matter what."
"Since that's the case, then I'll bring some wild ginseng for Mrs. Chu and bring them back together."
Qian Hongwen was still enthusiastic: "I got some good ginseng from the county a while ago."
"I appreciate the old doctor's kindness. There are still several ginseng left."
Chu Nanzhi rejected his kindness, but he was very interested in the angelica he mentioned just now. People here only know that it is a good medicinal material, but they don't know that it is even more delicious seasoning.
With a tentative mentality, she asked Qian Hongwen: "If it is possible, I would like to ask the old doctor to find some angelica seeds for me. Is it convenient?"
Since someone in the county tried to grow it, Luyan Port should also be possible.
Qian Hongwen stroked his beard, frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded slowly: "Since it's something Mrs. Chu told me, I will definitely do my best."
