"This, this is impossible! Qingya, aren't these too many?" Wang quickly declined.
However, Zeng Qingfeng quickly got into the car without waiting for Wang and the others to refuse, and said to Zhu Qing: "We are in a hurry, and we have to go back quickly! This money is our little thought. This time, thanks to my grandson
Doctor, I would like to thank you very much for introducing Mr. Mo to us."
After he finished speaking, he ordered the coachman to hurry up. He was afraid that Zhuqing and the others would return the consultation fee to him.
Watching their retreating figures, Wang looked at Zhu Qing at a loss: "Qingya, what should I do? I gave you too much money. Doctor Qian only accepted two taels of silver.
Consultation fee. We can’t just accept this money.”
Zhuqing nodded and said: "Mom, this money is indeed a bit too much. But don't worry. I have already inquired about their home address, and the master also asked me to pay attention to their babies. I will pay more attention to them after a while.
I'm going to visit their home to check on their daughter. Then I'll just buy some food for the kids and give them to them."
"If that's the case, that's fine. Otherwise, I'd be really embarrassed. And if this gets out, there might be people who don't know the details and mislead you. Qingya, it's also the twelfth year of the New Year for you.
You are now over 10 years old. I have to pay careful attention to your reputation. Don't let people talk about it casually." Wang's always considered that Zhuqing is a girl and cannot have a bad reputation.
"Mom, don't worry, no one will say anything bad about me. I treat patients based on my conscience and seeking truth from facts. Besides, the pure will become pure and the turbid will become turbid. If people want to talk nonsense, we
You can't control other people's mouths." Regarding the outside world's comments about herself, Zhu Qing took it very lightly.
"Hey, that's not what they said. When you are thirteen, your mother will help you arrange the marriage. If your reputation is ruined, who will come to propose marriage? Besides, Qingya, you
You are the first girl in our county. In such a big county, you are the only one who has received awards from our county. Mom doesn’t want you to be criticized randomly." Regarding Zhuqing's reputation, Wang has always taken it very seriously.
Heavy.
"Mom, it would be best if no one comes to propose marriage. That way I can always stay by your side. And I never thought about getting married." Zhu Qing couldn't help but play tricks on Mrs. Wang.
"You girl, why are you talking nonsense again? How can a girl not get married when she grows up? Why do I want you to stay with me all day long? Mom, I just hope you can find a good family in the future and live happily.
A solid day." Wang reached out and patted Zhuqing on the shoulder, scolding.
"Let's go back quickly. Zhushan has been talking about you at home for a long time. He waited for you until very late last night before he went to bed. He didn't see you when he woke up this morning. The little guy even cried a lot. Let's go quickly.
Go home." Wang said, pulling Zhu Qing and walking quickly home.
Before they could reach the door of their home, they saw Zhushan with a happy face coming to greet them.
"Sister, sister, you are finally back. I waited until you went to bed very late last night." The little guy's eyes were still a little red, obviously he had rubbed his eyes when he got up in the morning.
"I took them to see a doctor yesterday. It was too late and I couldn't make it back. So I could only stay in the county for one night. Next time something like this happens, don't wait for me. It's not good for you to go to bed too late.
My health is not good." Zhu Qing reached out and rubbed Zhushan's head.
"But if you don't come back, my parents and I won't worry." Zhushan tilted his head, avoiding Zhuqing's Lushan claws.
"Qingya is back. Hurry up. I'll serve the porridge for you. Come and eat quickly." Sun Fucheng saw his daughter coming back and said hello quickly.
"No, dad, I've already had breakfast in the county town." Zhu Qing had breakfast when he was in the county town, and he doesn't feel hungry yet.
"That was half an hour ago, how can you not be hungry? Eat more as much as you can. Besides, you must be cold when you come back from a long journey. Drink some hot porridge to warm yourself up." Mrs. Wang said without explanation.
Pulled Zhuqing to the table and sat down.
"Look at your hands that are all red from the cold. Even though you can't eat much, you're holding your rice bowl and covering your hands." Sun Fucheng greeted his daughter.
Although they hadn't seen their daughter for just one night, the couple were stunned, making Zhuqing feel like they were reunited after a long absence.
However, the kindness of her parents was not enough. Zhuqing sat down and drank a small bowl of porridge from the bowl. Then she told them about her experience in treating the children of Bai Jieru and his wife in the county town.
I also briefly mentioned the cause of the child's illness. I heard that the child was actually injured after being pricked with a needle. Ms. Wang became very angry.
"This person who stabbed people should be sent to prison! How could she be so heartless that she could do this to such a small child!" What Wang loved most in her life was her two children. When she thought of herself and others, she
If someone did such a thing to his two children, she felt that she could just rush over and fight him to the death.
"There are many people in the world who favor boys over girls. I have heard of some that are more wicked than this! There are those cold-hearted people who drowned their baby girls in the toilet immediately after giving birth. Then they reported the news to the mother.
She said she had a stillbirth." Sun Fucheng spent a lot of time working outside. He had heard a lot of such gossip.
"This is really too sinful." Wang shook his head and sighed.
"Mom, why did they do this and kill all those girls? Then who will give birth to babies in the future?" Although Zhushan was still young, he asked the core of the problem in one sentence.
"Who says it's not? Those people are short-sighted and have no conscience! They actually treat their own flesh and blood like this! I don't know what is going on with the Zeng family. I hope this matter was not done by the child's grandmother.
." Even though Wang said this, she felt like she didn't have much confidence.
"Hopefully, we can't say anything more until the matter is cleared up." Zhu Qing sighed. He also felt powerless and sad about the Zeng family's affairs, and didn't want to mention it anymore.
"By the way, I also met the eldest son of the Zhou family in the county this time. His attitude was a little strange when he saw me this time. I didn't remember it at the time. Later, I remembered that our family had forgotten
It's a big event." Zhu Qing changed the subject.
"Oh, what's going on?" Wang became nervous when she heard the word "big event."
Sun Fucheng and Zhushan also looked at Zhuqing.
"I borrowed ten taels of silver from Mr. Zhou in the first half of the year. Our family is now rich, but we never thought of returning the money to him." When Zhu Qing mentioned this, Sun Fucheng and Wang were both embarrassed.
stand up.
"Oh, Qingya, if you didn't tell us, we would have all forgotten. This would be embarrassing. Mr. Zhou is probably afraid that he will say it out and embarrass you. Qingya, then we have to hurry up and get rid of these ten
Go and pay him back the two silver coins." Sun Fucheng said quickly.
"Yes, I only remembered this matter after he left. If I don't return the money to him, it will be the Chinese New Year soon. If we pay him back after the Chinese New Year, doesn't it mean that we have asked him to borrow it for another year?
Really? Our family is not short of those ten taels of silver now." Zhu Qing nodded and said.
"Then Qingya, when do you plan to return it? Will you go tomorrow?" asked Wang.
"Even if I don't go tomorrow, I will definitely go the day after tomorrow. Because the day after tomorrow, the daughter of the Zeng family will have to go to the master for a follow-up visit. Then I can go with them again." Zhu Qing thought of the little Yueya who would go there every other day.
After going to the master to change the dressing, I decided to meet up with the Zeng family the day after tomorrow and go to the county town with them. By the way, I bought some food for the children and paid back the extra medical fee given by the Zeng family.
"That's a good idea. Then you can go the day after tomorrow. Early in the morning the day after tomorrow, you can go to Zeng's house first. Tomorrow, let's go to the town together and buy some things that the children like to eat and use. I'll ask you to bring them there the day after tomorrow.
"In addition, Mr. Liang from Liang's Pharmacy also asked someone to bring a letter. It's the end of the year and he wants to meet with you to settle the accounts for this year." Wang said to Zhuqing.
"It got cold early this year and there were so many snowy days that those selling chilblain ointment didn't even have time to make it. Mr. Liang said that the business in the drug store has been much better this year, thanks to Qingya and the advice you gave him. He said,
It’s the end of the year and I want to send you a red envelope. I want to be happy with you.”
Hearing Mrs. Wang mention Mr. Liang, Zhu Qing also remembered that it had been a long time since he had been to the Liang Family Pharmacy. Mr. Liang was about to give himself a red envelope, thinking that the business of his pharmacy was really good these days.
Zhuqing also wanted to go to his medicine shop and have a good look.
"Okay, I'm going to take a look. In addition, I also want to ask Mr. Liang what other medicinal materials he needs in large quantities." Zhu Qing thought that under the guidance of the master, he might be able to figure it out.
Something else.
"Okay, let's set off early tomorrow." Sun Fucheng said to Wang and Zhushan: "You two don't want to go tomorrow. Shan'er will study hard at home. Lanfen is celebrating the New Year these days. At your home
There are many things to do.”
"Dad, you have to accompany me to Huangni Village this afternoon. I want to go to Zhang's house to see how my alcohol is going. The master said he wants to use it." Zhu Qing said to Sun Fucheng.
"Okay, let's go as soon as we have dinner in the afternoon!" Sun Fucheng nodded.
It can be said that he now responds to Zhuqing's requests.
That afternoon, as soon as the father and daughter had dinner, they went to Huangni Village.
The Zhang family and his son were very happy to see Zhuqing.
"I was just about to send you a message, but my father has already figured out the idea of alcohol and wants you to come over and have a look! Who knew you would be here now, Miss Sun?"
"That's right, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and this is a big happy event. Miss Sun, come with me and see if the alcohol you mentioned is what it means?"
Zhang Jiajia's advocate Youcai greeted Zhuqing warmly, and as soon as he saw her, he took her to the winery where he studied and made alcohol.
Seeing the transparent and almost colorless alcohol, Zhu Qing was very happy: "Yes, this is it! Great! Master Zhang, you are really amazing!"
As a modern person, it is not unusual for Zhu Qing to know the principle of alcohol distillation. As an ancient person, it is extremely difficult for Zhang Youcai to figure it out.
"No, no, if it hadn't been for your suggestion, Miss Sun, I would never have thought that this distillation method could be improved in this way." Elder Zhang Youcai said with embarrassment when he heard Zhu Qing's compliment.
"Little girl, with your distillation method, I can improve my own wine making in the future. Speaking of which, I just want to be good, thank you!"
"Mr. Zhang, you are so polite. You are a big contributor to the production of this alcohol. It can help many patients." Zhu Qing said sincerely.
"How do you plan to sell this alcohol? Master and I will definitely use it all year round." Zhu Qing asked.
"Miss Sun, if you and your master want to use it, I will charge you a fee. After all, you are here to treat diseases and save people. By doing this, I can be considered as accumulating merit for our old Zhang family." Almost without hesitation, Zhang Youcai said.
Such a decision was made.
"That's not possible. Your alcohol distillation preparation takes a lot of effort. How can we just charge the cost? After all, your family still relies on this winery to survive." Zhu Qing quickly refused.
"Miss Sun, I just said that I will charge you and your master the cost. If other people come and ask me to buy, I can still make a profit. Since this alcohol can be put to such a big use, I think the people who will come to buy it will definitely not
Not much. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for pointing out such a way to make money for me!" Zhang Youcai smiled heartily at Zhu Qing.
"Look, Miss Sun, I was able to produce this alcohol under your guidance. If I make a profit, I should give you some dividends."
"There is no need to pay dividends. Just give me the cost price as you said. On behalf of my master, I would also like to thank Mr. Zhang for being so kind." Hearing that Zhang Youcai wanted to pay her dividends, Zhu Qing quickly refused.
"Okay, let's settle it." Zhang Youcai was very happy.
He asked Zhuqing to bring some alcohol back to try it out, and agreed that if it was indeed effective, he would start mass production.
Before leaving, he insisted on giving Zhuqing a jar of good wine before letting the father and daughter leave.
What Zhang Youcai gave Zhu Qing was pure alcohol, and the concentration of medical alcohol was 75%. After Zhu Qing returned, he had to find a way to prepare it.
However, even though it was alcohol that still needed to be mixed, it already made Zhu Qing very happy.
With alcohol, most of the disinfection problems can be solved. In the future, she will have another layer of protection when treating patients.
Moreover, she believed that her master, Mr. Mo, would be very happy when he found out. She couldn't wait to tell the master the good news as soon as possible.
Seeing Zhu Qing's excited face, Sun Fucheng was also happy for his daughter. However, he was a little confused in his heart. When did his daughter, who was only ten years old, actually be able to teach the master of another winery to make alcohol?
