Chapter 440: Convincing Ability

Shen Yueyao clearly understood how big the market would be if takeout was done well.

However, there was no Internet or mobile phones in ancient times, so if you wanted to do a takeout business, you had to plan and think carefully.

But for now, you can just focus on the academy.

There are more than a thousand students in one academy, and two academies have two to three thousand students each.

That's a big number.

Shen Yueyao thought about these things quickly in her mind, all of which were business ideas.

Shangguan Kang, on the other hand, just heard what Shen Yueyao said and laughed happily, his smile was pure and clean.

"Thank you. I will arrange for the servant to go down the mountain to buy it."

Shangguan Kang has a special servant, but they were arranged by his father to take good care of him.

So he didn't like to have servants, nor did he like servants to be around and stare at him every day.

But if you need to run errands or buy things, it’s better to let the servant do it.

He didn't want to tire the young lady in front of him.

Shen Yueyao didn't bother with the young man about this matter.

Anyway, if he needs to arrange takeout at that time, he really doesn't need to arrange for anyone to go down the mountain.

Shangguan Bin looked at the smile on his son's face and could feel that his son was truly happy at this moment.

Shangguan Bin felt a bitter feeling in his heart when he saw him like this.

He was happy, but still sad.

He hopes Kang'er is in good health.

At this time, Shangguan Bin no longer had any doubts. He looked at the girl in front of him with expectant and hopeful eyes.

"Mrs. Shen, if you can cure Kang'er, I will owe you a favor. You can ask for anything you want."

Shen Yueyao shook her head and said, "It's nothing, just follow what we said before."

Shangguan Kang's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Shen Yueyao and said, "Are you the doctor my father invited?"

Shangguan Kang was very reluctant to see a doctor.

Because every time the doctor said something after examining him, he felt very bad.

If he didn't see a doctor, he seemed to ignore his physical condition and thought he was a normal person.

But the doctor his father hired always reminded him of these things.

Shangguan Kang's expression suddenly became gloomy.

And the girl in front of him, he obviously felt very friendly, so why did his father put forward conditions?

Seeing Shangguan Kang's expression suddenly change, Shen Yueyao said, "I didn't know this at first, but when I saw you when I came in just now, and when I accidentally touched your pulse when I was getting something for you, I knew you were poisoned."

"So I can help you get rid of the poison and also help you recover."

"I didn't put forward any other conditions. I just opened a milk tea and dessert shop in the villa at the foot of the mountain. I thought I could let the students from the academy come to my shop on weekdays. But the academy has its own rules, so I put forward a request, which is whether the students of the academy can go down the mountain and hang out near the villa so that they can come to my shop."

"I have selfish motives, but I can indeed cure you. Also, I think my shop can provide a place for students at the academy to learn and communicate..."

Shen Yueyao knew that this young man was sensitive.

So I explained the matter.

Her expression was frank and she didn't hide anything, and it was precisely because of this that people thought she was good.

Even Shangguan Bin didn't know how to explain it to his son, and was even more afraid that his son would misunderstand him, so he didn't know how to start.

Listening to the words of the girl in front of me, I felt a little impressed.

There is also a sense of admiration.

Shangguan Bin came from a prominent family. In addition, because of his knowledge, he became the dean of the academy. He was also a proud person in his heart.

But he had met so many people, including students from the academy, and he felt that very few people could match the breadth of mind and bearing of the woman in front of him.

No wonder even the emperor attaches so much importance to Lord Su and his wife.

Shangguan Bin was filled with emotion.

Shangguan Kang was also shocked after hearing what was just said.

He felt that after hearing those words, his silent heart suddenly began to beat faster.

It was as if a ray of hope suddenly rushed into his heart, illuminating those dark places.

He widened his eyes in disbelief and asked with some trembling, "Are you... are you telling the truth?"

Shangguan Kang asked cautiously. He was really scared, afraid that he had heard it wrong, or that he was hallucinating.

He also wanted to get better so that he could do many things and eat many things.

He didn't want to drink such bitter medicine.

He felt like he was going to vomit as soon as he smelled the medicine.

Shen Yueyao looked at the expression of the young man in front of her, and for some reason, her heart tightened.

She nodded seriously and said, "It's true. I just talked to Dean Shangguan for a while and asked him to prepare something. Now I can remove the poison for you."

"After the poison is removed, your body will feel much better and you won't be so weak. However, you will need to recuperate for a few months before you are fully recovered."

This time, Guan Kang heard it clearly.

He didn't know why, but looking at the expression of the woman in front of him, he just trusted her and believed what she said.

It seemed as if she could convince him just by standing there.

Shangguan Kang choked up and said, "Thank you!"

At this moment, his eyes were red and watery, but he still tried hard to suppress his emotions.

He was still a little nervous and uneasy.

Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "It's not too late for you to thank me later."

"Of course, you have to cooperate with the treatment."

Shangguan Kang nodded, "Okay, fine, I'll do whatever you ask me to do."

Shangguan Bin looked at it in disbelief.

When did his son become so easy to talk to?

In the past, he had been treated by many doctors, but he refused to cooperate.

Shen Yueyao nodded, then borrowed the kitchen and boiled a bowl of water with medicinal herbs for Shangguan Kang to drink.

Shangguan Kang looked at the green bowl of water, not knowing what was in it, but he felt it was very pungent.

He frowned deeply, and felt a conditioned nausea.

But Shangguan Kang still held back. He pinched his nose and drank the whole bowl of water in one gulp.

After drinking it, I almost vomited.

“Ahem…”

He had never tasted anything so bad.

What are all these things?

Shen Yueyao looked at his livid face and said, "You have to endure it first and don't spit it out."

Shangguan Kang kept his mouth tightly shut.

Shen Yueyao said: "Go back to your room and lie down first."

Shangguan Kang also obeyed and went back to his room to lie down.

Shen Yueyao boiled some more water, poured it into a basin, and brought it into the house.

After preparing everything, she cut her wrist with a knife and dripped a few drops of blood into the basin.

Shangguan Kang was lying on the bed and was stunned when he saw this scene.

"you……"

In order to remove the poison from him, why did she have to cut herself and let her bleed?

Shangguan Kang was shocked by what he saw.

Shen Yueyao said with a cold expression: "Don't move."

Shangguan Kang didn't dare to move.

I just felt that her voice at this moment was full of majesty.

When her blood mixed with the potion in the basin, a strange smell emanated from the basin.

Dean Shangguan and the steward were watching from the side, their faces pale.

Why does it feel so weird? Dean Shangguan was nervous at the same time.

But Shen Yueyao said that no one was allowed to move or make any noise while she was treating him.

For the sake of his son, he couldn't move or make any noise.

The steward was a servant of the Shangguan family. He was loyal to Shangguan Bin and loved the young master very much, so he felt a little afraid to breathe at this moment.

But they all looked on nervously, with their eyes wide open, almost without blinking.

To Shangguan Bin, Shangguan Kang is his life.

He is the son born to him by his beloved wife.

Shen Yueyao applied the medicine she had prepared long ago to the wound on her wrist, bandaged it quickly, and made sure that no blood was released.

Then, Shen Yueyao stepped forward and cut Shangguan Kang's arm, leaving a deep wound.

His blood flowed out drop by drop into the basin.

After a while, a tiny insect rushed out of his body. The silver needle in Shen Yueyao's hand pierced directly at it, accurately piercing the insect, and the insect fell into the basin.

From beginning to end, Shen Yueyao remained calm.

Shen Yueyao then stepped forward to treat Shangguan Kang's wound, applying medicine and bandaging it, all in one go.

Then she took Shangguan Kang's pulse. "Okay, the poison has been resolved. He's fine now. It's just that his Qi and blood have been severely depleted, and his body is very weak. He needs to be nursed back to health slowly, not with a sudden surge of supplements. I'll prescribe a prescription and a diet. Follow it. Avoid greasy foods at first, and adjust the diet and prescription after a month..."

Shen Yueyao explained all the things that needed attention.

Shangguan Bin and the steward hurriedly wrote it down.

When they reacted, they found that Shen Yueyao had already finished writing.

Shangguan Bin asked in a low voice: "Mrs. Shen, is this all right? Is Kang'er's health okay now?"

Shangguan Bin knows best how nervous he is at the moment.

He felt a creepy feeling when he looked at the insects in the basin that had been pierced by silver needles.

Is this the Gu worm?

It's really scary to look at.

Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "The reason his body was in that state before was mainly because of the poisonous insect. The poisonous insect almost drilled into his heart and lungs, and he would have been beyond saving. Fortunately, it was cured in time, so he is fine."

"But thanks to the good herbs I gave him earlier, it delayed the time it took for the poisonous insect to penetrate his heart and lungs."

"There's nothing wrong with me now, I'm just very weak. I'll be fine after a few months of recuperation."

"But be careful with what you eat, and take the herbs according to my prescription."

"Pay attention to your diet and take your time to recover. Don't overeat or do strenuous exercise. Of course, you can walk and move around a little every day to help your body recover, but don't do strenuous exercise..."

"But once he's better, he can run, jump, and learn martial arts."

Shangguan Bin felt like these words were the sound of nature, and he was so moved that he burst into tears.

No matter how reserved he was, he couldn't control himself at this moment.

He choked up and cried, "I'm really fine, I'm really fine."

"Thank you, Mrs. Shen, thank you..."

"I, Shangguan Bin, will always remember your great kindness. If you need me in the future, please let me know, Miss Shen."

Shangguan Bin bowed deeply to Shen Yueyao.

Shen Yueyao hurriedly helped him up and said, "Don't, Dean Shangguan, I'm really not used to you being like this. Just be like before."

Shangguan Bin is really grateful to Shen Yueyao.

Shangguan Kang was lying on the bed, dazed and unable to recover.

At this moment, he could feel that his body seemed to be much lighter.

Breathing is much smoother.

Unlike before, he felt tired and exhausted even when breathing.

He was enjoying the relaxing feeling of the moment.

He was a little bit unbelieving, so he didn't dare to move and even dared not blink.

Of course, Shen Yueyao instructed Dean Shangguan to let Shangguan Kang have a good sleep and rest.

After she explained some things, she went down the mountain.

When going down the mountain, Shen Yueyao's steps were brisk.

After going to Lulin Academy, Shen Yueyao did not go to the nearby Yunting Academy.

I heard that Yunting Academy has stricter control over its students.

The deans are all old-fashioned.

So Shen Yueyao thought it would be better not to go to Yunting Academy, and it would be good to take Lulin Academy.

Besides, if the scholars of Lulin Academy exchange knowledge and study well in the milk tea shop, then Yunting Academy will naturally relax its regulations.

When Shen Yueyao went down the mountain, she was not in a hurry to go down the mountain. Instead, she walked around and looked around in the quiet environment on the mountain.

"No wonder the academy was built here, the environment is really nice."

“The air is very fresh.”

Shen Yueyao walked around and looked at the environment. When she was about to go down the mountain, she suddenly saw an old man fainted and unconscious on the ground halfway up the mountain.

They all have white hair.

Shen Yueyao's face changed, and she hurried over to reach out her hand, confirming that the person was still breathing, and breathed a sigh of relief.

She took the man's pulse and found that he had just fainted suddenly.

"Well, this person has some symptoms of diabetes and fainted due to low blood sugar."

Shen Yueyao pricked the man several times with a silver needle, then took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing that he had several cuts on his arms, Shen Yueyao helped him deal with them.

After it was handled, Shen Yueyao guessed that this person might be the teacher of Lulin Academy.

Usually only masters are this old.

And with his fair skin, he doesn't look like the villagers from the mountain.

So it is most likely someone from the academy.

Shen Yueyao carried the person to the entrance of the academy.

Put people there.

Without waiting for the doorman to ask, Shen Yueyao left.

…

This time when she went down the mountain, Shen Yueyao did not continue to stroll around, nor did she waste time, but hurried down the mountain directly.

It was already evening by then.

The sun is about to set.

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun gave the entire Zhuangzi Tudor a moving luster.

Very bright.

There are also many farmers living in the village.

However, the farmers live at the foot of the mountain, a bit far away from the milk tea dessert shop.

When Shen Yueyao came down from the mountain, she saw wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys of every household at the foot of the mountain.

Some people were washing vegetables in the yard, and some seemed to be collecting clothes from the clothesline.

Shen Yueyao's spiritual power increased, her mental strength also became stronger, and she could detect a wide range of light.

So if others couldn't see clearly, she would look into the distance. As long as she could see, she could see clearly as long as she wanted.

On the ridges of the fields, some farmers were carefully weeding and watering the land.

Carefully protect the fruits grown on the farm.

This farm was bought late, so for convenience, Shen Yueyao planted some more watermelons, grapes and other fruits that can be easily made into cold drinks.

Because in summer, when fruits are ripe, they can be directly supplied to milk tea dessert shops to make cold drinks.

This is convenient and there is no need to transport it from other villages.

Moreover, this village is close to the road. Of course, the official road is not here, but there is a small road next to it. If some people go to Beijing from the small road, they may pass by here.

If someone passes by here, it would be easy to sell some fruits on the roadside.

All in all, Shen Yueyao felt that this manor had a good environment and geographical location.

Just when Shen Yueyao came down the mountain and arrived at the milk tea dessert shop.

About ten people showed up at the door at some point. They were driving a carriage with luggage, and looked like a caravan.

The leader of the caravan looked at the plaque and said, "Zhuangyuan Milk Tea Dessert Shop, that's a nice name. Son, let's go eat here. Maybe you can become the top scholar in the imperial examination."

"And the name of this milk tea is a bit strange. Let's go in and take a look."

“Dad, I…I…”

The leader looked at his son with a self-blaming look, patted his shoulder and said, "Son, you are already a scholar, you should be more confident."

"Dad, I...I don't want to...do this...like this..."

The boy looked to be about twenty years old, and he blushed and stuttered whenever he spoke.

When they were about to go in, a staff member in uniform greeted them at the door with a smile, "Welcome to the Zhuangyuan Milk Tea Dessert Shop."

A twenty-one-year-old young man wearing clean work clothes looked very energetic.

The tea shop owner found it novel.

"We came from Qingzhou and have never seen a store like this before. It looks really nice."

A burly man next to him said, "Brother, it's getting late. We need to hurry into the city."

The leader waved his hand roughly and said, "It's too late today. Let's rest on the farm, eat something, and borrow the money from the farmers."

"Besides, I just want my son to share in the joy of being the top scholar. Maybe he will pass the imperial examination and get a good degree."

The burly man sighed when he heard that.

He looked at his nephew stuttering and felt a headache.

However, in this generation of the Cha family, only this nephew has some talent for studying. His son and other young people in this generation of the family have not passed the imperial examination to become a scholar.

However, merchants have a low status, and their family has used all their resources to help him pass the imperial examinations, or at least protect their family.

The staff listened to them and said with a smile: "It's okay, everyone can come in and take a look. If you like it, you can order something to eat in the store. If you don't like it, you can leave the store."

“Customers are welcome to visit our store.”

"We also have free bread tastings in our store every day, and everyone can try some for free later."

The leader couldn't believe it, "Is it true?"

The other one was even more alert, "Brother, could this be a black market?"

They travel all over the country doing tea business all year round and have been to many places, some of which are remote places with black shops.

The stuttering man said, "There won't be any...shady shops...near...the capital!"

He finished the sentence in a low voice.

But the man still said, "Brother, Maocai, we have already arrived in the capital, so it is better to be careful."

The staff member continued patiently, "Guests, we are definitely not a black market. Who would dare to open a black market in the foothills of the capital?"

"Besides, our mistress is a sixth-rank lady appointed by the emperor himself. How could she possibly lie?"

The two brothers were stunned when they heard this.

They lived far away and had no idea about the news from the capital.

But the sixth rank was enough to shock them.

The county magistrate is only of the seventh rank.

"So what does your name, Zhuangyuan Milk Tea Dessert Shop, have to do with this Sixth Rank Lady?"

The staff member said proudly: "That's because our boss's husband is the top scholar, the top scholar of this year."

They all feel very proud of working in the store. When talking about this, the staff in the store can't help but stretch their necks upwards.

When everyone in the caravan heard this, they were stunned.

Number one scholar!

That's definitely not a black shop.

"Then please help us find a place to rest, and the horses also need some feed."

One of the staff members asked these people to drive the carriages to another yard, which was a special place to accommodate the carriages and horses, and also had special feed for them.

There are also special people to help look after things.

However, the people in the caravan were worried. The leader's second brother took a few people to look after the things on their own initiative, as they were not confident in leaving them to others to look after.

The leader took his son and a few others in to rest and eat.

After entering, everyone was shocked by the environment in the store.

"Boss, we've never seen such a beautiful store before. It's really beautiful."

"It looks like a place for studying. It's very quiet. It doesn't seem like a place where rude people like us would come."

"They are all shops, and the waiter didn't say we couldn't go in."

However, despite saying this, they couldn't help but lighten their steps when they walked.

Because they saw several people studying by the window.

The windows were open and they were reading quietly.

These people are all book lovers who were recommended this shop by the staff of the inner city store. They came to see it and found it is indeed suitable for reading. "

Some people know that there are pinyin letters on the walls here, so they come here specifically to see it.

I came to see it and was attracted by the environment, so I naturally ordered milk tea and dessert.

However, Cha Maocai looked at the surrounding environment with sparkling eyes and looked very happy.

It can be seen that he likes the environment here.

Although Cha Zhenghao doesn't know much about science, he knows that this place is good.

He turned around and looked at his son's expression and knew that his son liked this place.

"Maocai, you like this place, why don't we stay here for a few more days?"

"I see there are books here too. Are they books you can read?"

Cha Maocai looked at the books on the shelves in the store, and there was some excitement in his eyes.

It's just that he has been studying with a teacher since he was a child, and he knows etiquette best. Taking things without permission is considered stealing, so he would not take those books casually.

At this moment, Shen Yueyao came in.

When the staff saw Shen Yueyao, their eyes lit up with excitement, and they were full of admiration.

They were about to call the boss when Shen Yueyao waved her hand. The staff member understood and quietly left.

Shen Yueyao said: "The books in the store are for the convenience of people who like to read books. As long as you cherish books, you can take them and read them."

Cha Maocai looked at the beautiful young lady in front of him and his face blushed slightly.

A little embarrassedly said: "But...can I?"

He stuttered a little and was embarrassed to speak in front of others.

Shen Yueyao said: "Of course, anyone who comes to the store can read the books in the store for free."

"People usually like to order a cup of tea, buy some desserts and find a place to sit and study."

"But it's getting late now. At night, we will light candles and oil lamps in the store to make it easier for everyone to read."

Cha Zhenghao asked, "Then you won't close?"
