After the oxcart entered the city, Chu Nanzhi took Sibaolin Ruijia to the old bank to exchange the gold and silver for silver notes, and then bought some cakes for the little guy to eat in the busy market.
When she came across an unused shop on the road, she wanted to inquire about it, but when the owner of the shop heard that it was from the Chu family, he turned cold and refused to let her see it.
After that, I visited several more houses in succession and encountered similar situations.
Chu Nanzhi vaguely sensed that she might be inseparable from the Qi family.
This kind of local snake that occupies one place is simply more terrifying than the government.
Thinking of the newly opened restaurants that had been smashed recently, she unconsciously connected them with the Qi family.
The Qi family made their fortune in the casino business, so there are probably a lot of evil forces behind them. As long as no one is killed, there is nothing the government can do against them.
Just 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 grow again with the spring breeze and continue to jump out to cause chaos.
She was not allowed to buy fish fry, and was not allowed to move out of the restaurant. This was completely a naked attempt to use power to oppress others, and did not take her as a modern person seriously.
"In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Chu Nanzhi said secretly in her heart: "After all, I used to be an Interpol police officer. I haven't seen any treacherous and evil criminals, and I haven't caught any large-scale criminal gangs with high IQs. How can I fight hard with you?"
It’s made you bankrupt and you still don’t know what happened.”
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth, then looked at Xiaosi Bao with warm eyes, and said gently: "Let's go get your father some medicine first."
Si Bao seemed to notice the displeasure on her face and asked cautiously: "Aniang, are we still open for the restaurant?"
"Open, of course you have to open."
Not only should it be opened, but it should be bigger than all the restaurants in the county.
Chu Nanzhi secretly swore.
As a result, the money in hand was a bit stretched.
Although there was a hundred taels of silver sent by Lin Jinshu over the fish pond, he still had to spend dozens more taels from his own hands for budget.
As for the restaurant, she had originally planned to rent a shop of about 200 square meters for decoration. The rent for such a smaller restaurant and the budget for all aspects together would be about five or six hundred taels, leaving about another two hundred taels.
It is almost easy to do turnover, and even if the business is not as good as expected, it can still be maintained for a while.
But now that the Qi family has forced people to do this, she has to make other plans.
After gathering her thoughts, she took Xiao Sibao to the medical center.
Apart from Hongwen Medical Clinic, which she had a relationship with, the other time-honored medical clinic in the county was Bocheng Medical Clinic, owned by the second uncle of the Lin family.
He wanted to go to the Lin family's medical clinic, but thinking about his second uncle's behavior last time, Chu Nanzhi gave up the idea and went straight to Hongwen Medical Clinic.
It's just that the old shopkeeper of Hongwen Medical Center didn't collect money every time, which made her a little embarrassed. She didn't expect Qian Hongwen to be so committed. When she first heard him say this, she thought it was just a joke.
The bullock cart drove slowly to Hongwen Medical Center, and saw an endless stream of people buying medicine, all of whom lined up in a long queue.
Chu Nanzhi came in with her little four treasures. Seeing that a noble person from the hospital was coming, the junior staff of the medical clinic immediately came over to greet them with a smile, 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 stood up and took a seat.
All in all, it had been some days since I had seen this noble man. The old doctor's face was glowing and he hurriedly asked the young man to make tea. He also enthusiastically brought snacks and fruits for the little one to eat.
"I think I have almost used your husband's medicine. I got a new batch of medicinal materials these days. I thought I would send some over the next 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 look on his face: "Ms. Chu, please wait a moment, and let me bring the newly acquired medicinal materials to you for review."
After saying that, he rushed to the medicine hall in high spirits. After a while, he brought a lot of packaged medicinal materials and put them on the table. He pointed them out to her one by one: "This is the Four Gentlemen Soup. It was specially reconfigured by the old man.
My husband suffered such a serious injury, so it can be used for recuperation."
Chu Nanzhi took a closer look and saw that there were ginseng, atractylodes, poria and licorice inside. He couldn't help but nodded: "They are all good medicinal materials."
Qian Hongwen also nodded happily, then opened another package with a slight mystery, and said with a smile: "There is also this Angelica sinensis, which is a holy medicine for replenishing blood. It is the first batch of medicinal materials that our county just tried to grow last year, and it is also the old age flower.
I have prepared some channels for purchasing goods with a lot of money for Mrs. Chu. Let’s take them back and give them to your husband to recuperate.”
"Let the old doctor worry about it."
Chu Nanzhi was very moved. It seemed that the recipe for the numbing soup was given to the right person.
"Mrs. Chu, please stop being polite to me."
Qian Hongwen pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "Thanks to the prescription given by my wife, now you can see that the business of this medical clinic is getting more and more prosperous, and it is almost overwhelmed. I even hired two more clerks."
"It's all the merit accumulated by the old doctor Xuan Hu to help the world. I'm just doing my best, it's nothing. The old doctor is too flattering."
Chu Nanzhi said humbly, and while taking out the money from his purse, he continued: "I will accept these medicinal materials, but the old doctor must accept the money this time, otherwise."
Before she could finish her words, Qian Hongwen immediately frowned: "Madam Chu, you are slapping me in the face like this. What I say is always true to my word. Not only can I not accept the money, but I also have to thank you properly."
Mrs. Chu."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a money bag that had been prepared for a long time from the medicine cabinet on the side, and said piously: "Mrs. Chu, please accept these fifty taels of silver. I heard that my uncle Ling passed away a while ago, and I went out to seek medical treatment.
I feel very sorry that I didn't come back in time to express my condolences, so you must accept these fifty taels of silver."
"The old doctor's words are serious. Human life and death are normal in this world. Doctors should focus on saving lives and healing the wounded. Although I am saddened by my uncle's death, I cannot delay the old doctor from treating people."
Chu Nanzhi said and pushed the money back decisively: "The old doctor has already paid me for the prescription I gave you before, so I can't accept the money again no matter what."
"In that case, let me bring some wild ginseng for Madam Chu and take them back together."
Qian Hongwen still looked enthusiastic: "I got some good wild ginseng from the county a while ago."
"I appreciate the old doctor's kindness. There are still a few wild ginseng branches left."
Chu Nanzhi rejected his kindness, but she 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 a delicious seasoning.
With a tentative attitude, she asked Qian Hongwen: "If possible, I would like to ask the old doctor to find some angelica seeds for me. Isn't it convenient?"
Since someone in the county has tried growing it, it should be possible in Luyan Port.
Qian Hongwen stroked his beard, frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded slowly: "Since this is what Madam Chu has told me, I will do my best."
