Chapter 499 I feel bad

The matter of the noodles was not settled, and Zhuang Qingning felt that he had nothing to gain from the day except a bowl of delicious fish noodle soup. He was not in high spirits, so he and Zhuang Qingsui went to bed early that night.

At night, the northwest wind blew, and fine snowflakes fell from the sky.

Before midnight, the snow grains turned into large flakes of snow, which continued to fall until the roosters crowed in the morning. By daybreak, the ground was covered with a thick blanket of snow.

For farmers, the snow comes at the right time.

There has been very little rain since the autumn planting season, and the fields are a little dry. The wheat sprouts in the fields are starting to turn yellow. A heavy snow, in line with the saying that auspicious snow means a good harvest, has made the farmers feel more at ease.

Two days later, when the sun came out, the snow began to melt. The snow water on the eaves dripped, and long icicles grew on the tiles of the eaves.

Children from every household thought it was fun and interesting, so they took bamboo poles to hit the icicles.

It took two or three days for the snow to melt before the ground became a little dry, and people could walk on it, drive oxen, and drive carts.

It was almost noon that day when Cheng Ruize and Fang Hou arrived.

"Manager Cheng is in much better shape." Zhuang Qingning made some hot tea and smiled when she saw that Cheng Ruize looked energetic and no longer looked sick as before.

"I'm well now." Cheng Ruize replied with a smile, "I finished taking the pills that Manager Zhuang gave me yesterday. The doctor also came to check my pulse and said that I'm completely well now."

"That's good." Zhuang Qingning nodded with a smile, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.

The reward for the rescue mission is that I have not received the second half of the soap formula since I accepted the mission.

At first, Zhuang Qingning thought that the task would only be completed after the poison in Cheng Ruize was completely cured. But now he has taken the medicine according to the course of treatment, and this guy still has no intention of rewarding him.

Could it be that even after taking the medicine, one still has to wait for a while before the symptoms appear? It's just like if you have a cold, a fever, or have surgery, after stopping the medicine, you still have to rest and recover before you can fully recover.

Cheng Ruize was severely poisoned at the time. Even with the antidote, he has only recovered most of his body functions. It will take some time for him to fully recover to the state before the poisoning.

Anyway, that certain Five cannot escape and will have to be paid sooner or later. Besides, he has a noodle workshop to set up right now, so he can't worry about the soap formula.

Zhuang Qingning thought of this and put the matter aside for the time being. He came back to his senses and smiled, "It's just that the disease is like a thread being pulled out. Shopkeeper Cheng should rest more."

It was just verbal persuasion. Seeing that Cheng Ruize finished taking his medicine yesterday and started going out to handle work today, I knew that this workaholic really couldn't sit still.

Cheng Ruize smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Zhuang is right."

After that, he took the brocade box that Fang Hou had been holding and handed it to Zhuang Qingning, "I came here today because I have been bored at home for too long and wanted to go out and relax. Secondly, I have something to give to Shopkeeper Zhuang."

When Zhuang Qingning heard the word "giving something as a gift", she felt inexplicably nervous for a moment, but when she saw Ban Yuexiang inside the gift box that Cheng Ruize opened, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is the first batch of incense made by the incense maker according to Manager Zhuang's recipe. I took some here. Manager Zhuang can use it himself or give it as a gift to others." Cheng Ruize said with a smile.

Zhuang Qingning took a look.

The moon-banxiang incense in the brocade box includes cone incense and stick incense. The texture and smell of them are both very good.

After all, it was made by a professional, and its work is much better than hers as an amateur.

"Thank you, Manager Cheng." Zhuang Qingning thanked him and accepted the Ban Yuexiang without any hesitation.

"Manager Zhuang, you are too polite." Cheng Ruize took a sip of hot tea and said, "This first batch of Ban Yue Xiang has been rushed out and has been shipped to Yangzhou in the past few days. It will be slower to travel by water in winter, but it is estimated that it will arrive in ten days at most."

"Yangzhou City holds an incense tasting conference every year, which is held during the Lantern Festival after the New Year, but registration must be done before the New Year. This time we can just make it in time. If Ban Yuexiang can attract attention at the incense tasting conference after the New Year, the business of Ban Yuexiang will definitely be very good."

"I'm looking forward to it." Zhuang Qingning smiled, "It seems that Manager Cheng will be busy after the New Year."

"I'm very happy to do so." Cheng Ruize laughed and put down his teacup. "I came to bother Manager Zhuang today because I have something else to tell you."

"Manager Cheng, please speak."

"Because of my poisoning, I innocently implicated Doctor Zhuang, and suffered a lot of injustice for no reason. Although I have apologized to Doctor Zhuang and sent him a lot of medicinal herbs as compensation, I still feel very sorry."

Cheng Ruize said, "There has always been a shortage of doctors in the herbal medicine store in our county. Doctor Shi, who has been working in the herbal medicine store for a long time, is getting older and wants to find a disciple to teach him medical skills. Although Doctor Shi's medical skills are not as good as those of the famous doctors in Huichuntang, he has achieved some success. I see that Doctor Zhuang is also a person who is dedicated to seeking medical treatment and has a good talent, so I want to ask Doctor Zhuang if he is willing to go. Shopkeeper Zhuang is very familiar with Doctor Zhuang, so I would like to trouble Shopkeeper Zhuang to show me the way."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Speaking of which, I have had this idea for a long time, but I have been recuperating at home and cannot go out. If I only let Fang Hou come, it would seem a little insincere, so I have delayed it until now."

"I understand what Shopkeeper Cheng means." Zhuang Qingning nodded, "It's just that Doctor Zhuang is currently seeing patients at a pharmacy in town. I don't know if he's willing to go to the county town. I can take Shopkeeper Cheng to ask him. As for whether Doctor Zhuang is willing or not, it depends on his opinion."

"Don't worry, Manager Zhuang. We will naturally follow Doctor Zhuang's opinion." Cheng Ruize nodded.

It was almost noon, so it was not appropriate to visit him at noon. Zhuang Qingning stood up and said, "Then please ask Manager Cheng to go with me to take a look. I remember that Doctor Zhuang came home yesterday, but I don't know if he is here now."

Yesterday, an old man in the village had a high fever at night. The old man is over 60 years old. He has not been in good health since the beginning of winter and often coughs. Winter is the most terrible time for the elderly. If nothing happens in winter, there will basically be no problems for the whole year. But if you get sick in winter, it will be difficult to celebrate the New Year.

Also, the old man's family took it very seriously, so they went to the town overnight to invite Zhuang Wencheng back to see him. I don't know what his condition is now.

Zhuang Qingning planned to take Cheng Ruize and Fang Hou to Zhuang Wencheng's house first. Before they reached the door, they saw Zhuang Wencheng walking back with a medicine box.

He looked tired and yawned continuously.

Judging from his appearance, he had been guarding there all night and just came back.

"Brother Wencheng." Zhuang Qingning called out.
