What's going on?
"What's going on?" Chen Nianran looked at this family members obviously, and felt a little depressed. She almost bumped into someone.
"This girl, I beg you to save my child. Our family has suffered a disaster, and this child is sick again. All the fields in our family have been sold off to cure him, but now he is sick again. As for Dave, he wouldn't give them the medicine until he had the money. I heard that it will only take five silver coins to cure the baby. Young lady, since you have good intentions, just give us five taels of silver, and our family will be your slave from now on. "I, I'm willing to sell myself as a slave to treat children …"
Chen Ziming and his son also came out from shock. He climbed down the carriage, walked to the front of the man, and touched the child's forehead.
"Yo, it's quite hot. What kind of illness was this? The five taels of silver that the man said could really be cured? Which substitute would dare to guarantee a vote like that? "
Generally speaking, as long as the man was not lying, he would not be so sure.
Seeing him ask this with good intentions, the man looked as if he had seen hope. He continuously kowtowed and said, "Reporting to the Old Master, this man is the one who helped our Boss out of his inn. Because he was intimate, he told the truth. He said that the child was not well nourished and that he had caught a cold this time, so the longer the illness dragged on, the more serious it became.
If he had a few taels of silver to properly treat his son's illness, he would be able to recover. The two of us made a mess of the land earlier. He really couldn't afford five taels of silver. Plus, there was no land to plant at home, so he decided to sell himself as a slave. "But, but …"
However, he didn't have the nerve to continue speaking the latter part of the sentence. Because even if they sold themselves for five taels of silver and became slaves, they would still be treated as lies and would not be interested in the matter at all.
Chen Ziming understood what was going on and looked at the pregnant women kneeling beside him and sighed, "That's right, people like you, are both sick children and obedient women. How would ordinary families be willing to accept you all in?"
He looked at Chen Nianran. Her shop also had a few people, and she still had a mother to raise. It would be difficult to bring this family back.
"Uncle, as long as they truly want to save that child, I can give them money to treat him. But, I have a request! "
When the quiet woman heard this, she quickly looked at her with tears in her eyes. "Miss, please tell me. As long as we can do it, our family will do it for you even if we have to be like a cow or a horse."
At this moment, the child in the man's embrace tugged at his hand. "Father …" I don't want... Don't... I can be good... "The best …"
The young man stubbornly said. A single tear could be seen trickling down from the burning red corner of his eyes. This kind of scene moved even the stone-hearted people.
Da Lang also tugged on Chen Ziming's clothes. The latter let out a long sigh, and made up his mind. If Chen Nianran was not willing, he too … Be kind and save the family.
"My request is very simple, I can pay to treat his illness. "Take this five taels of silver as a loan from me. You can return it when you have the ability."
This idea made the couple extremely happy. Chen Ziming felt that this girl was being a little hasty in her actions. Seeing this, who knew if the human heart was real or not. What if he met someone who pretended to be hiding money? That's five taels of silver. How long does an average family have to earn.
"Of course, looking at your current situation, it would be a little difficult to repay me five liang. So, I have the first two compromise methods, you, can work for me to pay off the debt. That is to say, you don't have to sell yourselves to be slaves, but to work for me. I can control your eating and living, and you can use your own labor to pay for your own debts. "
The farmer plan that she was about to build was going to be carried out and would require a lot of manpower. With her current sisters, it would be a little difficult to set up the farm. Therefore, this family, especially that man, would become the main helpers of the family in the future. If they were truly thinking for their son, then their morals could be considered to be quite good.
Chen Nianran was not a saint, but she wasn't one of those evil women. Since there was a good laborer who came knocking, why not? It was just a small advance on her salary. This was something she could do.
Perhaps, some would say that she was just making things difficult for him, but she didn't think so. Humans had to pay a price in order to reap any rewards. Do you only want the charity of others? Yet, she didn't want to give it up. This kind of character wasn't worth it.
When that family heard about this, they were overjoyed.
The man choked with sobs as he continuously thanked her.
"Thank you young lady, thank you young lady. We have nowhere to go to, and young lady is willing to offer money to save our child, and even willing to let us work to repay our debts. This … this was a blessing we had cultivated in our previous life, so we were able to meet such a kind-hearted young lady." We are willing, we are willing. "
It could save a child, and there would be a place for them to rest. Seeing that this girl had a kind face, she wouldn't be that evil and evil person no matter what.
Huang Dean and his family felt that they had met a lucky star.
Niu Niu, Huang Dean's wife wiped her tears and kept thanking him.
After helping the few of them up, Da Lang moved some of the snacks out of the carriage for the family to eat.
The child was obviously having a fever, which was a serious problem in this ancient era.
If the fever did not subside, it was very likely that his brain would be damaged or he would be burned to death because of the fever.
As the child's sickness was a little severe, Chen Nianran rushed the horse carriage to a nearby roadside store, got out of the carriage and bought some wine, then asked the shop owner for some cotton. Wipe for children along the way, under the ribs, on both sides of the limbs.
He had wiped the important parts twice. The car had yet to reach its destination.
Huang De An and his wife also trusted Chen Nianran, allowing her to wipe the child off.
The two of them didn't dare to breathe too loudly. Even if it was a lot of food, they ate very little snacks. The sick mother was worried. Currently, the couple probably wouldn't be able to eat too much before the child's fever subsided.
Fortunately, this method of rubbing alcohol had some effect. Although it was not too obvious, the temperature of the child had obviously dropped a little. However, the situation remains grim.
This child's body temperature was still too high. It could only be said that Chen Nianran's method was slightly effective on him. But she couldn't achieve the goal of completely losing her fever.
"When we get to town, I'll go find the old man from the Hall of Peace. His medical skills are also quite good." Seeing this, Chen Ziming let out a long sigh and revealed his plans for the future.
The car sped up even more.
Along the way, the man surnamed Huang even wanted to get off the carriage to follow the horse carriage in order to save time. In the end, only after being intercepted by Da Lang and Chen Nianran did they manage to sit in the carriage.
It was only that night that they arrived at home.
They went up to the shop and knocked on the door of the Baohe Hall.
After tormenting himself for the greater half of the night, Chen Nianran finally squeezed Guan Shuyuan into a deep sleep.
Guan Shuyuan and the others wanted to make mooncakes, so a few small ones couldn't even look at the shop. Coincidentally, this family had come and let the man named Huang follow them to look at the shop.
Although this man looked big, he could still do business. The accounting was still active.
He had only taken on business a few times. Seeing that he could handle it, and with Er Lang and San Lang watching them, Chen Ziming, Da Lang and the others went to the backyard to make mooncakes.
The Fifth Sister and the Sixth Sister were responsible for raising the horses.
Everyone settled down to their tasks and got busy.
However, the people making the mooncakes were still obviously lacking in manpower.
There were a total of four people: Chen Nianran, Chen Ziming, Guan Shuyuan, and Da Lang.
The four of them had to knead the dough, knead the filling, and finally put it into a mold to create patterns.
More importantly, the furnaces of this era had to be artificially heated.
He had to grasp what kind of fire it was. Therefore, Chen Ziming was in charge of lighting the fire, so it was necessary for him to have peace.
Guan Shuyuan was a little stronger, so she carried the job of kneading the noodles.
Chen Nianran was stuffed, then placed into the furnace to roast.
A single stove to roast, this was obviously not something that could be cooked over.
As a result, they built a stove and set up another one.
But even so, it was impossible to keep up with the progress.
Two stoves alone, how many mooncakes can this produce?
Based on Chen Nianran's estimation, the quantity sold in the city was so much that at least five of them would not be able to produce it.
But there was no electricity here, so she couldn't really use electrical equipment.
However, although it was a pity, they did not dare to randomly invite others over.
After all, the reason why this mooncake had such big profits was because it only had the word 'fresh' on it.
When Guan Shuyuan heard that this mooncake could actually earn him nearly a hundred gold coins, then when she started working again, it was truly filled with the might of tigers and tigers.
"No, we must do more. With so much money, if I don't earn it, I'll feel like I'm losing out in my sleep. Little girl, tell me, why can't we make so many mooncakes? Oh, hey, what a good opportunity to make money. Now I know that I still have too few children. "
"Haha …" Chen Nianran was extremely happy that she would be able to hear such words from someone within the myriad of things that could be done.
, who was still pretending, was extremely happy when he heard this.
"Then mother, how about you work hard with my dad to have a few more younger siblings come out?" "When the time comes, our family will be surrounded by a large number of New Year guests. How lively will that be?"
Guan Shuyuan also knew that she had leaked her mouth and was making a joke out of it. She glared at Da Lang, "When adults speak, don't talk so much with your kids."
Da Lang's hands did not stop moving, but his mouth was unforgiving.
"Mother, I'm not young anymore." The Gou Zi next door is the same age as me. Look, he's getting married. We were born only a few days after the competition, so you can't treat me like a villain anymore. "
