Chapter 240 Learning Acupuncture
240 Learned acupuncture and moxibustion
Zhao Dong raised his eyelids: "So, you only got the money back, and the rest of the pigs are still in your hands?"
As soon as these words came out, those people were suddenly taken aback.
Instantly understood what Zhao Dong meant, and immediately tried to express that they would return the remaining pigs immediately.
Zhao Dong didn't expect the Virgin Mary to break out and help the villagers get the pig back.
It’s just that the locust plague has just been experienced. The villagers had no food to eat, and spent a lot of money to buy pigs and raise pigs. Next, they will really not be able to survive this winter.
Zhao Dong didn't feel pity for them, he just felt that these people were just doing it to themselves.
It's just that the dog will jump over the wall when he is in a hurry. He is afraid that these people will be hungry and will do something out of the ordinary at that time, which can be regarded as saving some trouble.
There is a more important point, Zhao Dong doesn't want to take advantage of these unscrupulous traders.
However, Wang and Zheng, the culprits, don't even think about it.
Finally, the vendors returned the villagers’ pigs, but only part of them, since most of them had already been slaughtered.
The family who only sold one piece of meat finally came back with half a piece of meat.
However, this has already made the villagers very grateful. The half piece of meat can be sold at the market, and some money can be returned.
Wang’s and Zheng’s were more unlucky. The vendors said that their two were the first to sell, and the pigs were all slaughtered, so there was nothing left.
Wang and Zheng were sitting at the door crying, and the wailing of their two families could be heard all over the street.
But many people in the village hid far away, and quietly scolded them at home for what they deserved.
The vendors who returned the pigs turned around and went to Zhao Dong's house.
Zhao Dong finally accepted their orders, but Zhao Dong did not accept Jia Xin's.
Zhao Dong said indifferently: "I am the most trustworthy person, and I will do what I say. When you came to return the pigs that day, I have already sent a message that we will not buy the pigs from Zhaozhai Village for you."
Zhao Dong's attitude is tough, and there is no room for relaxation.
When Jia Xin saw that the soft ones were going to die, he wanted to be tough, looked at Zhao Dong, and threatened: "I said Zhao Dong, don't you take yourself too seriously, why don't you just buy a pig? What's the matter?" It's so cool!"
"You don't go outside to inquire about who I am, Jia Xin, and there has never been anyone who doesn't give me Jia Xin face! Let me tell you, if you don't do business with me today, then don't blame me for ruining the situation! "
People around began to persuade.
"Hey, I have something to say, Boss Jia, don't be impulsive. If you hurt your friendship, it will be bad."
Jia Xin raised his face, full of momentum: "It's not that I don't talk well, you say, I came all the way, so I can't let me return empty-handed."
Then the people around persuaded Zhao Dong again: "Oh, Boss Zhao, why are you doing this? Why are you struggling with money? If you have money and don't earn it, aren't you a fool?"
Zhao Dong's attitude is firm: "It's done, you don't need to persuade me, I have said everything, I have to keep my word, otherwise how will I convince my brothers in the future?"
"Besides, the deal was reached at the beginning. Afterwards, Boss Jia came to regret it. He is such a person, he has no integrity. If he sells it to him this time, it will not be guaranteed. He will bring it back to me the other day!"
"This kind of business, it doesn't matter if you don't do it, don't try to persuade you, just go back."
Jia Xin sneered: "Heh, Zhao Dong, it's you who made the toast and didn't eat the fine wine. Listen up, brothers. If we don't get the pig today, we'll smash it!"
In an instant, the servants under him rushed forward.
Seeing that a chaos is about to happen.
Zhao Dong looked serious, blocked the door, and shouted: "I see who dares?"
Then pointing to the plaque on the gate above his head, he said imposingly: "This is the plaque bestowed by the emperor, you dare to make trouble in front of the plaque granted by the emperor, it is disrespectful to the emperor, this is a serious crime of beheading!"
As soon as these words came out, the deterrent effect was full.
The servants stopped suddenly, looked left and right, but they didn't dare to step forward.
Even the arrogant and domineering Jia Xin was also persuaded.
They all heard about Zhaozhai Village getting a plaque from the emperor. No matter how courageous he is, he really dare not touch the imperial plaque.
Finally, with harsh words on his lips, he turned around and ran away with his tail between his legs.
Other vendors also got pigs, seeing that there was no excitement to watch, they all left one after another.
Shitou slammed in Jia Xin's direction: "Brother Dong, this is really refreshing, haha, this kind of villain should not have too much contact with him."
Other villagers also echoed.
Zhao Dong smiled at the big guy: "It's done, let's go home quickly, it's getting dark."
Everyone bid farewell to Zhao Dong one after another, holding the copper coins, and went home happily.
After the incident of returning the pig, those villagers who were originally with Zheng and the others began to alienate from Zheng and the others.
Many villagers went to Zhao’s house, apologized to Zhao Dong’s family, and thanked Zhao Dong for helping them get back the pigs.
So, this wave is not bad, and Zhao Dong's family has won a lot of people's hearts, and they have established themselves in Zhaozhai Village.
—
Next, except for the families of Zheng and Wang, who would often make a fuss because they didn’t have enough to eat, most of the families in the village returned to calm.
As the weather turns colder, this year is about to pass.
Grandma's business is getting better and better because of the peony business.
After that, the younger uncle brought his second uncle and grandson Youli together, and opened another acre of wasteland next to the peony field.
The great strength of the second uncle is really not blown out, he is really a good hand at work.
With his participation in the second mu of land, the time it took to complete the second mu of land was cut in half compared to the first mu of land.
Right now, the peony seedlings have been planted and will be planted next year.
Except that Zhao Zhitong went to see the peony cuttings and helped water them that day, she hardly participated in the subsequent matters.
In those few days, she was busy learning acupuncture from Sun Kang.
Zhao Dong also bought her a set of silver needles. Her baby was broken and she took it with her to school every day. This scared her three friends.
I was afraid that Zhao Zhitong would start with them as he did when he was learning pulse diagnosis...
But fortunately, Zhao Zhitong didn't. She drew a humanoid figure on the paper, and she marked many black dots on it.
She usually uses this to practice.
However, this unexpectedly attracted a person, Wei Zijian, the son of the squire Wei.
This brat who was spoiled by his mother, since he went to the county government last time and was beaten up by Zhao Zhitong, suddenly turned on the switch, but he listened to Zhao Zhitong's words.
Now, seeing Zhao Zhitong drawing back and forth on the paper, I am very curious, and stick to Zhao Zhitong's back every day to watch.
Squire Wei saw that his son suddenly became enlightened, and knew that he was studying with Qiao Muchen and Zhao Zhitong, but he was very happy.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that his son didn't learn from them, it was just purely interested in the silver needle in Zhao Zhitong's hand.
