Wang Lin told Feng Yuheng: "The New Year is coming, and the owner of the small restaurant next to Baicaotang is going back to his hometown. He said that he doesn't want to go back to the capital after the New Year. I just want to ask the owner for permission to see if it can be done.
How about buying that restaurant and turning it into a medicinal food shop?"
Feng Yuheng's eyes lit up, "Wang Lin, your idea is really good."
"Does the boss agree?"
Feng Yuheng said: "It's no problem to buy it, and the idea of opening a herbal diet shop is also a good one. But this shop can't just be opened. You have to come up with some mature ideas."
Wang Lin added: "That's what I think, because people who come to Baicaotang for medical treatment and medicine often ask for some prescriptions for medicinal diet, and some even use the prescriptions prescribed by the doctors nearby to get medicine.
There are also a lot of people coming and going. If we could open our own medicinal diet shop, right next to Baicaotang, wouldn't it be more convenient? Moreover, the medicinal diet we prepare is more reliable, so everyone can eat with confidence. In addition, the original
The cook and waiters can also stay, everything is ready."
Feng Yuheng thought for a while and said: "I have seen that restaurant before. The place is not big, but it is enough for making medicinal meals. I suggest you only make porridge and nothing else. Don't make too much every day, just open
Half a day. Also, you have to consider those ladies and young ladies who want to replenish their health but are inconvenient to go out to eat. Such people have a lot of money and cherish their lives."
Huang Quan was amused, "Miss, you can be considered as the daughter of an official family."
Feng Yuheng curled her lips, "If I can come out, can they? Wang Lin, I think otherwise, you can mix the medicinal diet with raw ingredients, sell it by the portion, and let the ladies buy it back and cook the porridge themselves. A small packet is enough for a meal.
, and it’s convenient to eat.”
Wang Lin nodded repeatedly, "To be honest with my boss, the manager of the restaurant told me privately that he hopes we can take over the shop so that he can save himself the trouble of talking to other people."
"Okay, you go ahead and do it. I still say the same thing, you have to pay more attention to me and cultivate people, just like the Baicaotang opened in Xiaozhou last time. Maybe it will be opened in other places when. I will open it at any time.
I want people from you anywhere."
Wang Lin said: "Don't worry, boss, I have some people under me. Not to mention the shopkeeper, even the assistants can be hired."
Feng Yuheng was very satisfied with Wang Lin. This man was not only loyal, but also smart. He thought wholeheartedly about Baicaotang, which saved her a lot of thoughts.
She sat in Baicaotang for half a day, and did not leave with Huang Quan until noon. The two found a restaurant and prepared to eat something outside. As soon as the waiter brought the food, they saw a five or six-year-old man squatting at the door.
The children were looking longingly at the two chicken drumsticks on their table and swallowing their saliva.
Feng Yuheng couldn't bear to see this the most, so she asked the shopkeeper for a piece of oil paper, wrapped a chicken drumstick and handed it to Huang Quan: "Give it to the kid to eat."
Huang Quan nodded, thought for a while, poured the rice from his bowl onto the oily paper, and sent it to the child along with it.
But the child didn't eat. He just wrapped the paper and put it in his arms, and then started to squat down and look at other tables.
Unfortunately, no kind person was willing to give her anything, and the child's eyes showed disappointment.
Feng Yuheng said to Huang Quan: "Guess, why doesn't the child eat by himself and has to be put away?"
Huang Quan thought for a while and said: "It should be left to others. Maybe her family is living on the streets like her, and she wants to ask for more food to take back and eat together."
"But she is not a beggar." Feng Yuheng pointed at the child and said: "Although her clothes are shabby, they are only shabby and old, not dirty. Look at the clothes, the color is indeed very faded.
But it's obviously been washed many times. Think about the faces and heads of those beggars on the street, and then look at this girl's face and head. Where is the dirt?"
Only then did Huang Quan notice these details, and then thought about it again, "The lady is right, if it was a dirty and smelly beggar, the waiter in the shop would have chased her away a long time ago. How could she be allowed to squat at the door for so long."
Feng Yuheng waved to the waiter and said to her: "Bring me five more chicken legs, and add a few more plates of your delicious dishes."
The waiter was confused, "How can you two eat so much?"
Huang Quan slapped the table - "You can go if you are told. If you can't finish eating, we will take it away! We think the food in your store is delicious, so we order more."
The waiter hurriedly laughed with them, thanked them for enjoying the food in the restaurant, and hurriedly went to give instructions to the chef.
Then Huang Quan shouted again: "Bring me another bowl of rice!"
"Hello!"
Feng Yuheng told Huang Quan: "Let's eat the chicken legs first. Let's eat quickly. After we finish eating, follow me to a place."
The waiter quickly brought Huangquan's rice, and the two of them began to eat. After the newly cooked dishes were served, they all finished eating.
Huang Quan directly ordered the waiter to pack the food, and Feng Yuheng ordered a lot of rice to be packed together.
The waiter was confused. When did the food in their store become so popular? Seeing that the handsome young man even liked the rice, he filled a whole pot directly.
Feng Yuheng saw his doubts and didn't bother to explain. She just threw a piece of silver over and successfully silenced the waiter.
The two of them went out and got into the carriage with the packed meals. It was not until the carriage passed a street that Feng Yuheng asked the carriage driver to stop, and then said to Huang Quan: "Go back and bring the little girl to the carriage."
Huang Quan knew what she was thinking, so he quickly got out of the car and walked back quickly.
In a short time, the poor child squatting at the door of the restaurant was taken into the carriage.
The little girl was a little scared. She looked at Feng Yuheng and Huang Quan and didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, she knelt down and kowtowed to them, and then said timidly: "Thank you two benefactors for the chicken legs and rice."
As he spoke, he inhaled through his nose, and the aroma of the food in the carriage came bursting out, making the little girl so greedy that she almost drooled.
Huang Quan smiled and touched her head, "What's your name?"
The little girl replied: "My name is Shui Ling."
"Shui Ling." Feng Yuheng tilted her head and asked her, "Do you squat at the door of the restaurant every day waiting for people to offer you food?"
Shui Ling nodded: "Yes."
Huang Quan didn't understand, "Why don't you take the initiative to ask for it?"
Shuiling said: "That way I would become a beggar, but Shuiling doesn't want to be a beggar."
"Why?" Feng Yuheng was also a little surprised, "What's the difference between you waiting for someone to give you something and asking for it yourself?"
Shuiling added: "There is a difference. If someone gives me something proactively, it won't be counted as what I asked for, and I won't be counted as a beggar. In this street, beggars are also managed by someone. You can't eat the food you ask for, let alone eat it.
If you take it to other people, you must take it to a unified place and hand it over to the people above for distribution."
Feng Yuheng understood, this was a beggar gang.
"Then who are you taking your things back to?" she asked again.
"To a lot of people." Shui Ling lowered his head and choked with sobs: "Where we live there are many fatherless children like me, and two sisters are taking care of us. Someone used to give food to us, but then they stopped giving it.
We were hungry, so we came out and waited for others to give us."
Feng Yuheng's mind moved, and this seemed to be the result she wanted. So she said to the child: "Take me to where you live. These meals I packed are just for you."
"Really?" Shui Ling opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe it.
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Really, go tell the driver the address and we'll go now."
If the guess is correct, the place where this child is located should be something similar to an orphanage. Feng Yuheng also had a sudden idea while eating in the restaurant. If she can help an orphanage, she can cultivate these children.
, she needs manpower to practice medicine, and the intelligence network also needs manpower. In such an era where information and transportation are poor, people are really important.
The carriage drove for half an hour and finally stopped in front of a courtyard in the north of the city.
This courtyard is neither new nor old. It is very large and should have been left behind by a wealthy family.
Shui Ling took Huang Quan's hand and said, "This is it, brothers and sisters, please come in quickly."
Feng Yuheng was wearing men's clothes, so she was naturally called brother. She didn't explain, and followed Shui Ling into the courtyard. Behind her, the coachman was also busy picking up all the food in the carriage and sending it in in two trips.
When Feng Yuheng entered, there were several children in the yard who were about the same age as Shui Ling, holding a water basin and washing clothes, and two older girls were putting them on the high rope one by one.
The two girls looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. They were not pretty, but they could be said to be delicate. Their clothes were old and faded, but they were also clean.
It was cold in winter, and the little hands of the children washing clothes were red from the cold. After washing for a while, they would stop and rub them. Some even got frostbite, but they endured the pain and continued to stretch into the water.
When Shui Ling came back, the children in the courtyard first looked at her with hope, and then they saw a young gentleman and lady following her, and they couldn't help but froze.
The girl who was hanging clothes felt something strange in the atmosphere, and quickly walked around to the front to take a look. She was a little surprised at first glance, and asked blankly: "You two are here, are you busy?"
Feng Yuheng smiled and took the initiative to take a step forward, "This girl, you are polite." She bowed her hands in a salute, and she really looked like a handsome young man, causing the girl to quickly bend down and return the salute.
Hear her say again: "We met Shui Ling when we were eating in the restaurant. After hearing her talk about your situation, we packed some food and came back. I don't know how many people there are here and whether there is enough to eat."
As soon as they heard there was food, the children's eyes lit up, and people ran out from all directions in the yard one after another. Feng Yuheng took a quick look and saw that there were at least nearly thirty people.
"It seems it's really not enough." She smiled bitterly, took out two ingots of silver from her sleeves and handed them to the driver, "Go find a nearby restaurant and ask them to make some food and bring it here, just like these children.
Make portions, it would be better if you can also bring out the evening meal."
The coachman nodded, said nothing, and hurried away.
Shui Ling jumped up happily and pulled two older girls to introduce her: "This is Sister Fusang, and this is Sister Tiandong. We usually rely on the two sisters to take care of us. This..." She
I wanted to introduce Feng Yuheng to Fusang and Tiandong, but found that I had no idea who Feng Yuheng was.
Huang Quan took the initiative and said, "This is my young master, Le Wuyou, the doctor at Baicao Hall. I am her maid, and my name is Huang Quan."
Feng Yuheng was very satisfied with this introduction.
The reputation of Baicaotang was so great that Fusang and Tiandong became happy when they heard that he was the doctor of Baicaotang. They saluted Feng Yuheng repeatedly and heard Fusang say: "I have long admired the name of Mr. Wuyou, and the young master can come today."
It is already a blessing for us to be here, and to spend money to prepare meals for the children, this is really..."
"It's so good!" Some children shouted, and they all came forward to surround Feng Yuheng.
But before Feng Yuheng could say a few words to the children, she saw the coachman who had just left to buy food came back, with a worried look on his face: "Master, a group of officers and soldiers are coming outside!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the door of the courtyard being knocked open from the outside, and a group of officers and soldiers immediately rushed in! [End of this chapter]
