Chapter 447 I'm Going Home to Cry

Lin Yuesha didn't haggle at all, readily paid the money, and received a room voucher for five days later.

She boarded the boat with her maid, and Bai Cha asked, puzzled, "Miss, two hundred taels of silver is all it takes to get in. If that person is a swindler, we'll never get our money back."

The scalper said no bargaining was allowed, and the young lady really didn't bargain.

"I didn't haggle because I thought this ticket was worth the price."

Arriving in a strange place like Beijing, the biggest problem is the lack of connections. Without connections, there is no source of information. Getting to know a few scalpers would be good.

Cats have their ways, dogs have theirs; never underestimate the little people struggling to survive in the marketplace.

"Two hundred taels is not expensive, it's a good deal. If we really encounter a swindler, it's simple. This person often goes to Xiankelai, the shopkeeper knows him, and it won't be difficult for us to get this money back."

Lin Yuesha managed to buy a room, and the scalper finally sold what he had picked up. The feeling of making money without spending any money was simply amazing.

With two hundred taels, he could go and have a good time, find Little Peach Blossom and have Little Apricot Blossom by his side. He had never been so extravagant before!

"Boss, we've finally found you!"

The little ox, panting, wiped the sweat from his brow with his sleeve and said, "Do you remember the hotel ticket you found last time, the one in Beijing?"

"What's wrong?"

The scalper frowned, sensing something was amiss, and angrily said, "Could it be that you've found the owner and want me to return the room ticket? No way! The ticket has already been sold, so just say I lost it."

Whoever finds it owns it; there's no serial number on it, so what evidence is there that it belongs to that person?

"Oh, it's sold?"

The little yellow ox was stunned, then asked, "Boss, how much silver did you make? Don't lose money!"

"Sold for two hundred taels! Tonight, I'll treat you to a beauty and have some fun."

With money earned for free, scalpers are naturally generous with their spending, making them quite pleased with themselves.

"ah!"

The little ox gave a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Boss, that house ticket was worth five hundred taels, and you sold it for a bargain price of two hundred taels. But someone just approached me and is willing to pay seven hundred taels to buy it!"

cattle:……

Two hundred taels and seven hundred taels, five hundred taels less than sold, and just now, the official ship left.

After finishing his sentence, Little Yellow Ox rubbed his hands together happily and said, "Boss, it's already evening. When are we going to have some fun?"

With beauties by his side, embraced on both sides, and most importantly, without spending a penny, the young man was overjoyed.

"Go to hell! I'm going home to cry!"

The scalper couldn't catch his breath and almost passed out, which made him doubt his own industry.

He was overjoyed, thinking he had gotten two hundred taels for free, but he was told that he could have earned even more, a difference of five hundred taels of silver! That's five hundred taels!

Some people think they're getting a good deal in business, but they're actually constantly losing money. The scalper, with a bitter face, decided that if he ever ran into Miss Lin again, he would definitely take a detour. It's so weird!

As evening fell, the sunset painted the sky red.

Lin Yuesha had already boarded the ship and entered the superior cabin.

No money is wasted; spending more money naturally leads to different conditions.

The cabin was bright and clean, the bedding was all new, and there was a special washroom where you could draw water directly from the river to wash up.

Outside several cabins, there is a large tea room, which can also be used as a small kitchen to solve the problems of eating and brewing medicine.

On the official ship, there was a dedicated cook, and you could order dishes or eat communal meals, whatever you wanted.

The cool evening breeze carried away the daytime heat, calming Lin Yuesha's mind somewhat. She and her maidservant strolled on the deck, enjoying the breeze and gazing at the scenery on both banks.

As dusk fell, the people had already lit their lights, the crescent moon hung in the sky, the river was calm, and the stars shone brightly everywhere.

Along both banks of the river, the scenery was largely the same, filled with the incense smoke of ordinary people's homes. Lin Yuesha closed her eyes. She was Lin Yuesha now, but after arriving in the capital, facing the Qin family and the people of the Lin family, she had to change herself and was destined to become ruthless.

She was no longer Lin Yuesha, but Niu Gulu Yuesha.

"Sister Yue Sha, the wind is strong on the river, why don't you go inside the cabin?"

With three days left before their departure for Beijing, Yan Yan had sent a message to the Yan family in advance, and was now feeling anxious.

She had already decided that after her uncle helped Xiao Chenggui with his medical examination, she would move to her father's estate and devote herself to studying medicine.

"It's cool outside. I've been lying down all day, so I need to move around."

Since Yan Yan rarely showed up, Lin Yuesha had Bai Cha and Long Jing bring her some snacks and tea, and the two chatted idly on the deck.

The reason Dr. Yan had time to chat idly was because live animals were not allowed on the ship, so she had to give up a cage of mother rabbits.

"Sister Yan, have you made any progress with Doctor Liao?"

Lin Yuesha believed in Yan Yan, and that given time, the female doctor Yan would surely overcome the difficulties and succeed.

Curing diseases and saving lives is not something that can be achieved overnight. Whether it is a folk remedy or a prescription, it has a long development stage.

"have."

When the topic of medicine came up, Yan Yan's eyes lit up. Since she was inspired by Lin Yuesha, she had first studied suturing techniques.

After gutting the rabbit, she used thicker thread to sew up the wound, greatly reducing bleeding and preventing the wound from reopening.

"But we don't have suitable thread right now, we can't just sew it with a needle and thread."

If the needle and thread don't fit the skin properly, they might get stuck when the wound isn't healing well and come out with flesh and blood. At the very least, they should be soaked in oil.

"So, I thought of mulberry bark."

When the wound is deep, it needs to be stitched up layer by layer.

As for why mulberry bark was chosen, it's because mulberry bark thread is the easiest to make, and silkworms are raised in various places, making it inexpensive.

The method of making it is not difficult. Tear off the coarser threads from inside the mulberry bark, wrap the remaining bark with the fine threads, and when you need it, steam it with hot water to make it soft and silky immediately.

"So the rabbit that Doctor Liao secretly hid was sewn together with thread made from mulberry bark."

As for the subsequent effects, we will have to wait and see.

The cesarean section to deliver the baby is a long road ahead, and Dr. Yan finds it difficult, but she doesn't want to give up.

"But rabbits are different from humans, so we can't keep using rabbits for experiments."

Without any formal training, Yan Yan has relied entirely on her own exploration, which is quite remarkable, as not everyone has the courage to do so.

The ancients valued their bodies and hair as gifts from their parents, and cutting their hair was considered a matter of life and death, let alone cesarean section.

Even if such technology exists, there must be people willing to use it. The worst are those stubborn people who would rather die than adapt.

"I have a way, it might... it might be a bit roundabout."

Yan Yan knew Lin Yuesha's concerns, but she wouldn't mention it to anyone until the technique was mature and she was absolutely certain. In any case, using mulberry bark to suture the wound and reduce bleeding was a major step forward.
