Chapter 76 The Vinegar Jar
Chapter 76 The Vinegar Jar
Although Xue Yanrong was falsely accused, and now he has cleared his grievances, but after all, the incident is so big, and the officials arrested people and closed the shop, which has a great impact on a business, especially a drug store business. It can be said that it is not small, ordinary people only believe in what they see with their eyes, how can they understand that what they see with their eyes is not necessarily true.
Now Benshantang's business has plummeted, and it is even more troublesome than when it was taken over from Xue Huaiqiu, but Xuanjizhai on the opposite side is booming.
Two people just came to the door of the drug store, and before the clerk in the store came up to greet him, they were dragged away by another person behind him——
"Don't you know that their house was sealed up by the government a few days ago?"
"Huh? And this thing?"
"No, it is said that they sold fake medicines and ate people to death."
"Then, why is it still open?"
"Who knows, they have something to do with it."
Shopkeeper Qian's eyes brightened, his ears brightened even more, and the account book in his hand immediately closed——
"Hey, why are you making up nonsense? What does my Benshantang have to do with it? If it really violates the law, it's a big relationship, and you can't get by."
"Why am I making up nonsense? Could it be that Benshantang was not the one that was sealed up a few days ago?"
"That's being framed!"
"Framed? Why don't you frame another family, but yours?!" The man stared, "Who knows if there are any fake medicines left here?!"
After speaking, he pulled the two people around him and walked towards the opposite side——
"Let's go to Xuanjizhai, the medicine there is not only cheaper than here! Let's go!"
"Hey--"
"never mind."
Shopkeeper Qian still wanted to argue with that person, but was stopped by Xue Yanrong who came over.
"Second Master, they are talking nonsense. If they let them talk about it, what will the reputation of Benshantang be like?!"
"If they don't talk about it, other people will say that there are so many people coming and going on this street every day. Is it possible that every money shopkeeper can go there and talk about it? I'm afraid they can't finish talking about it."
"Oh, I'm just angry. Our business is doing well, and we have been stigmatized for no reason, but we have no place to reason. I'm not afraid of Erye's jokes. I can't even sleep these days. Thinking of this , I felt extremely aggrieved!"
"Business is like this. When there is no smooth sailing, shopkeeper Qian is more relaxed. As long as we have a clear conscience, justice will come naturally."
As Xue Yanrong spoke, he walked to the door of the shop and looked towards Xuanji Zhai on the opposite side.
"Our accident happened, but the opposite party picked up a big deal. Taking advantage of the time when the shop was closed, he went around to win business and squeeze out his peers. He fought price wars all day long. He was stunned for seventy yuan for a hundred yuan. Just sell it, now the price of this medicine is messed up, Fang Jintang's shopkeeper Liu and Yuan Qingtong's Qu shopkeeper almost got into a fight with them over this matter, but in the end, they are so good, just one sentence- —If you have the ability, you can also lower the price.”
Shopkeeper Qian waved his hands helplessly, "I can't say it, I really can't say it."
"It's so cheap, can it be real?"
"You get what you pay for. Things are such things, but their appearance and curative effect are poor, but because they are cheap, ordinary people are willing to buy them. We can't tell the good or the bad to the layman. After all, you just said it. You might not even listen."
After Shopkeeper Qian finished speaking, he suddenly leaned over——
"Second Master, I've seen it. Several pharmacies have also secretly lowered their prices. Do you think we should also lower their prices, let's get through this period first, and then slowly figure out a way?"
Xue Yanrong frowned, turning the emerald ring on his thumb——
"It can't be lowered. Our price is already the lowest. If it is lowered again, the business will lose money. What's more, the things in Xuanjizhai are the same as ours. There is no comparison between the two. Once the things are sold cheap It’s hard to think about it again.”
"That's the way it is said, but it's a big problem if things can't be sold."
"Let me think about it." Xue Yanrong turned around and walked towards the medicine cabinet again, "This is it?"
"That's the Eight Treasure Pill, which clears dampness and heat, activates blood and detoxifies."
"I remember, is there a smell of snake gall here?"
"Yes, not only snake gall, but also bezoar, pearls, and antelope horns."
Xue Yanrong nodded, and opened another frame——
"So there are tiger bones in the tiger bone pills?"
"Of course, tiger bone pills, tiger bone pills, what are they called tiger bone pills without tiger bones?" Shopkeeper Qian looked at it, a little puzzled, "Second Master, what are you asking for?"
"It's nothing, just ask." Xue Yanrong closed the drawer, patted the medicine residue on his fingers, "Okay, I'll go back first, and I'll come back when I'm free."
"Hey." Seeing the person walking away, Shopkeeper Qian couldn't help sighing again, and stood in front of the door for a long time before turning back to the inner hall.
At this moment, Eldest Young Master Xiang and Sun Maoda on the opposite side were smiling complacently——
"How about it, isn't this a good move?"
"It's not bad, it's just that I didn't beat him up!"
"Hey, what are you in a hurry for? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Based on the current situation, how long can Benshantang last? Waiting for this draft, if Lingmei can be selected into the palace, we will be regarded as someone at the top."
----
"Can you accommodate me for a few more days, I—"
"Accommodating?! I've already given you half a month's grace. If you continue to be accommodating, I'll drink Northwest?"
The woman who was speaking frowned and stared at her eyes, her saliva almost flew onto the man's face——
"Mr. Song, it's not that I speak badly. Think about it for yourself. Is it true? My orphans and widows live on rent from restaurants, but you have delayed or defaulted on arrears several times. I have old and young, how can I accept it?" Got it?
I know that you are a bodhisattva with a heart, you can't see poverty and suffering, and you have a benevolent heart of a doctor, but you have to look at yourself, right?
If you have medical skills like yours, not to mention being rich, at least you can afford food and clothing, but look at you, you have opened a medical clinic for a year, and your meat has not grown a few pounds, and your clothes are getting more and more worn out. You want to help others, You can't starve to death yourself first, can you?
If I don't have such a high level as yours, I will come to close the shop the next day, early in the morning, and you should find another place to be a fairy. "
The woman sneered, and then walked away arrogantly.
The old man on the side was leaning on crutches, wanted to go forward but didn't dare to go forward, it was Song Langzhong who asked aloud——
"But something?"
The old man's voice was hoarse, his eyes were cloudy——
"Now, can I still see a doctor?"
Song Langzhong nodded——
"Of course I can." After speaking, he smiled again, "I haven't picked up this brand yet, come in quickly, old man."
In a short time, after looking at the illness, he took some medicine, Doctor Song still reminded him——
"Eat for five days first, and after five days, find me in Hua'an Hutong."
The old man took out the consultation fee from his pocket, but was blocked by Doctor Song——
"No need, I'm going to close the shop anyway, so keep the medicinal materials. You can go back and buy some millet and white noodles for saving. You'll be able to eat better when you're sick."
The old man was so grateful that he couldn't stop wiping away his tears even after leaving the hospital——
"Why are good people not rewarded?!"
It's really strange, Xue Yanrong looked up - Yishitang
The name is not small, but this place is hard to describe.
"Mr. Song."
"Second Master Rong?"
==========================================
"You recognize me?"
"Setting up a shed to give porridge, and helping the poor, I dare not ignore it."
Xue Yanrong looked at the young man in front of him, for some reason, he had a feeling of deja vu, but he couldn't tell where he was familiar, and he had the impression that he had never seen him before.
Song Mengcong is only two decades old, and his skin is tender and fair, which is different from the old-fashioned young man next to him, with a thick beard and long beard. He looks like a scholar at a glance. He is thin and fair. Standing with Xue Yanrong, he looks like a man who has not eaten enough Meal, shrugging his shoulders and nodding his head, sallow, emaciated and malnourished.
Xue Yanrong's eyes scanned the medical hall, no matter the objects or the storefronts, they all looked dilapidated, if you had to say something new, then Song Mengcong's face might be the only one.
Song Mengcong had never dealt with such high-ranking officials, and with his little-known identity, he did not believe that Xue Yanrong came here because of his fame.
"Second Master Rong, why are you here?"
It was rare for Xue Yanrong to find a place where no one was serving tea, and he was a little out of habit, rubbing his hands together and letting out a sigh of relief——
"I heard people say that there is a living Bodhisattva here who doesn't charge money for seeing a doctor, but pays out by himself, so I came to have a look. I didn't expect it to be such a young living Bodhisattva."
Song Mengcong had an introverted personality. Apart from seeing patients, he was buried in medical books to study. For such a joke, he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and stood there at a loss.
Looking at him dumbly, he is a nerd, right?
Xue Yanrong rubbed his fingers, "A living Bodhisattva is no better than a clay Bodhisattva. A flesh and blood body needs to eat and drink. If you use yourself to save others all the time, sooner or later you won't even be able to protect yourself, so why don't you think of other ways?"
"What can I do? There are too many poor people in the world. As a doctor, I have no reason not to save them."
"So you don't take a penny? Then spread the word, and more and more poor people come to you to see a doctor, but those who have money think you are shabby, so the business plummets."
"Second Master Rong, you, how do you know?" Song Mengcong was very surprised.
"Who doesn't have the ambition to help the common people, but it depends on the situation. If you don't take a penny, I dare not agree to it. Your ear is too soft and your heart is too kind, so it is not suitable for you to open a medical clinic. "
Xue Yanrong brushed off his sleeves, "How about I show you a clear way?"
"Second Master, please tell—"
"Come to Benshantang. I will let you be a free doctor. You can see as many people as you want. I will give you 40 taels of consultation fee every month. You can save it if you want. If you want relief It’s much better for others to help you than to open your own clinic, at least you don’t have to worry about paying rent.”
Song Mengcong has never encountered such a good thing when he was so old, 40 taels?Is it not certain whether I can earn 40 taels in two months?
"Second Lord—"
"What? You don't want to?"
"No, no, I am willing, but I don't quite understand, there are so many doctors out there, why do you want me?"
Xue Yanrong raised his eyebrows and smiled——
"Because you have a good reputation."
After speaking, he walked out the door——
"Clean up quickly, and I'll be able to meet you at Ben Shan Tang tomorrow."
After leaving Sesame Lane, Xue Yanrong made a special trip to Rongjinji, packed a piece of milky cheese golden crisps, and then returned home.
But before he took a few steps, he was blocked by a familiar face in front of him——
how is she?
Xue Yanrong frowned subconsciously, and wanted to turn around, but before he could, he was called out by that person——
"Second brother, why don't you want to see me so much?"
Xue Yanrong had no choice but to bite the bullet and look at her——
"What a coincidence, Madam Yuan."
Yu Jingshu felt a dull pain in her heart when she heard Mrs. Yuan's call. So they are all unfamiliar with each other?
That's right, in the past, unmarried men and women were unmarried, it was natural for brothers and sisters to match each other, but now that they all have their own families, there are indeed a lot of taboos.
Take another look at the pastry in his hand, Yu Jingshu is very familiar with the taste, she never knew that he likes to eat sweets, presumably he must have bought it for her family, and then think about the things he sent to her home back then, Although everything was more valuable than the pastry in his hand, it was not as good as the thought at the moment. In the end, it was still a wrong payment. He never had himself in his heart.
Xue Yanrong was a little anxious, the milk-flavored cheese cake in his hand should be eaten while it is hot, it will not be so crispy when it cools——
"I still have something to do, so I'll go ahead—"
"Be careful heading home."
Yu Jingshu took a step forward and grabbed Xue Yanrong's wrist, touching his shoulder——
"Xiang's younger sister is going to be drafted in the palace this year."
After speaking, he let go of his hand and walked away.
Xue Yanrong looked at Yu Jingshu's back in astonishment, did she come here specifically to tell him?
Suddenly, she felt a little ashamed, she thought that the sisters of the Yu family should hate her to the core, but it seemed that she still had the heart of a villain.
Yu Jingshu went to Jinzhou with her husband's family a few days ago, and she found out about Xue Yanrong's imprisonment when she came back yesterday. She is not stupid. Now that Xiang Jia and Sun Maoda are so close, the cause and effect can be guessed by thinking about it. I was so angry, I was still looking for someone to deliver a letter to Xue's residence, but I didn't expect to meet him as soon as I went out today.
"Girl—" Chi Yu felt sorry for her master and couldn't bear her like this.
"You don't need to say, I have a sense of proportion." Yu Jingshu lowered her eyes, her eyes were full of loneliness, "I just don't want the two families to have any grudges."
As soon as I arrived at Qizitang, the little girl in the room couldn't wait to rush out. She was glued together tomorrow and every day. She had only been out all morning, but my heart seemed to be separated for a long time. I really can't leave for a moment, and it has never been like this before.
"What else did you buy?"
"Milky Cheese Crisp."
Xue Yan's family loosened the collar, picked up the purple clay pot on the low table, and poured it into his mouth.
"Hey, it's cold—"
"No problem."
Jiang Youqing slapped the man's hand, snatched the purple clay pot, and said angrily, "What's the matter? My hands and feet are cold, and I don't care about it."
As he said that, he called the end of the year and went to exchange for a pot of hot ones.
He filled the teacup again, blew lightly on the tea leaves floating on the water, and then handed it over——
"Drink."
As soon as Xue Yanrong took a sip, he put his arms around her. He turned his face and wanted to kiss Fangze, but saw the little girl's brows frowning suddenly——
"What do you smell like?"
"What smell?" Xue Yanrong stiffened her neck, she remembered that she touched Yu Jingshu's shoulder on the road before.
"A scent of rouge." After Jiang Youqing finished speaking, he lowered his head and sniffed, his raised eyes were full of suspicion, "Where did you go this morning?"
Seeing her expression, Xue Yanrong didn't dare to say anything.
"Probably because there are too many people in Rong Jin Ji, so I accidentally got involved."
While talking, he quietly pulled out his arm, moved it to the copper basin, and cleaned his hands.
Jiang Youqing looked at the cheese cake, then at the man, walked over with lotus steps, took the man's hand, rubbed it vigorously in the water, and then picked up the towel, finger by finger wipe clean.
"I'll come back when I finish my errands, don't run around, I don't have to eat these." After speaking, he hooked his little finger and dangled it again, "Did you hear that?"
"Uh - listen, I heard."
That's not all, Jiang Youqing found a piece of clean clothes, and after putting them on again, the brows on his face were completely flattened, and he smiled and took her hand——
"Are you hungry? All the meals are ready, all of which you like."
Xue Yanrong is still in a state of enlightenment, isn't this reaction too big?
Washing hands and changing clothes again, I couldn't help sweating in my heart, thankfully I didn't say anything just now, otherwise I might not be able to eat this lunch.
Why is this man such a jealous person?
----
Today, the Benshantang is very lively. A group of hunters who came from nowhere are putting the tigers that were killed and the stags that were captured alive one by one into the long shed.
The man who was skilled in operation immediately began to peel the tiger's skin and remove the tiger's bones, and the other started to cut the antler with a sharp knife, which immediately made the passers-by stop.
Taking advantage of this moment, Chang Sheng started to beat the gongs and drums in his hand, knocking loudly——
"Ben Shan Tang, the real thing is genuine. Today, Mr. Song is attending the consultation in person. He won't charge you a penny. If you are sick, see the doctor, and if you are not sick, defend yourself."
Shopkeeper Qian couldn't even close his mouth in a smile, and kept giving Xue Yanrong a thumbs up——
"Second Master, you really have a way. Why didn't I think of it? Don't they say that we have fake medicines? Then let's make medicines in front of them. There will be no fake medicines anymore."
Xue Yanrong held the teacup in his hand, pursed his lips, and smiled after a while——
"I was also forced out."
Song Mengcong's good reputation played a role at this time. Those who had been favored by him before came to thank him one after another. Among them was the old man that day. It is a living Bodhisattva!
It's just a walking signboard.
But even so, there will still be discordant voices, but they are not as unpleasant as before. Xue Yanrong believes that now all he needs to do is wait, and time will tell.
It's just that she didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon——
Just after noon that day, two young men supported an old man on a wooden plank, and hurried over, saying that the old father had lost his silver, and couldn't think about it for a while, so he threw himself into the river. The two brothers ran to three medical clinics in a row , none of the family is willing to accept.
Although Song Mengcong was young, he was not a flustered person. When he heard this, he accepted this person without even thinking about it. When he checked his breath, he was already out of breath.
"Hey--"
Shopkeeper Qian's heart tightened, and he was about to make a move to stop him, but Xue Yanrong stopped him.
"Second Lord, that person is out of breath. If we take over, if we don't survive, the good reputation of this shantang will be ruined."
Xue Yanrong waved his hand——
"If you can't stop him, let him try. What if he is saved? Benshantang will follow suit."
"Needle! Bring my needle!" Song Mengcong shouted.
Take the needle and pierce Hegu, Taichong, and Renzhong——
Then he opened his mouth, pulled out his tongue, and pressed it tightly with chopsticks——
"Find two hollow bamboo pipes, point them to his ears, blow hard, blow hard!"
Then he took off his clothes and injected acupuncture at Shenque acupoint.
After falling into the water and delaying for such a long time, it is impossible to save the life unless a god descends to earth.
Sun Maoda from the Xuanji Zhai across the street took a photo of a guy, while he waited diligently to watch a good show. If he couldn't save his life, the signboard of the Benshantang would be ruined.
"Can you save the life?!" The old man's eldest son became anxious when he saw his father being stabbed all over with needles, but there was no sign of waking up.
"Don't make noise!" Song Mengcong looked at Wen Ruo, but now his face was serious, his brows were furrowed, and he continued to turn the silver needle in his hand.
It was amazing to say it, after repeating it dozens of times, the originally lifeless person slowly opened his eyes.
"Wake up! He's awake!"
"Miraculous doctor! Miraculous doctor!"
The crowd of onlookers immediately erupted. They had heard of the art of bringing the dead back to life before, but it was the first time they saw it with their own eyes!
The old man's two sons even knelt down to Song Mengcong on the spot.
Shopkeeper Qian was also shocked——
"Really saved?!"
Even Xue Yanrong stared blankly at this fair and refined young man.
Unlike when they were lamenting about the resurrection from the dead, Sun Maoda in Xuanjizhai brittle the teacup in his hand to pieces——
"Damn, he was saved!"
Song Mengcong expended too much energy, and the clothes inside were soaked now——
"Come, come, have a sip of tea, and take a rest." Shopkeeper Qian looked as if he had picked up a treasure, and raised his hand to pat Song Mengcong's shoulder vigorously. Coming back!"
"It happened to me too, not everyone can be rescued." Song Mengcong is an honest man, so he naturally told the truth.
Shopkeeper Qian waved his hand——
"It's not every day that people drown, but just this time, you're amazing!"
Xue Yanrong on the side had deep eyes, walked two steps, then backed away, looking at him with a good look——
"Crazy, will it be cured?"
The author says:
I’m losing weight recently, and it’s really painful not to eat at night. I don’t know if you feel anxious when you’re hungry?
Anyway, I have it, I will be very unhappy, very irritable, and I can’t calm down, so I want to eat hot pot, barbecue, and meat
