Chapter 64 Lure the snake out of its hole
"I'll add two more tranquilizing herbs to the prescription. Sister Zhang, remember to take the medicine on time."
Ye Wangshu took out a pen from his pocket and added a few words after the prescription.
"You even carry a pen with you!" Mrs. Zhang couldn't help laughing when she saw this.
"That's right. Smiling more is good for your health." After handing the prescription to Mrs. Zhang, Ye Wangshu put the pen back.
"I can't help it," Ye Wangshu sighed, but there was no trace of sadness on his face. "Ever since the news of your pregnancy spread, a lot more people have come to see me for treatment."
“Even people from other towns came here.”
"This shows that you are a good doctor!" Mrs. Zhang placed her hand on her belly with a gentle look on her face. "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. I have been looking forward to this child for a long time!"
Ye Wangshu nodded, his eyes turned and he continued, "Sister Zhang, if you have nothing to do, you can help the villagers make some cakes. This way you can contribute to the family's livelihood. You won't get worse because of your wild thoughts."
Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "But aren't things in the village hard to sell?"
"I'll go into town tomorrow to find a way to sell it. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
"Wangshu, thank you."
Ye Wangshu had helped Mrs. Zhang a lot these days. She was sincerely grateful and felt lucky to have asked Ye Wangshu to help her recuperate.
"I just don't know if my sister-in-law will do evil again. There are thieves who steal for a thousand days, but there is no need to guard against thieves every day."
When Ye Wangshu thought of what Li Xiaoxia had done, a hint of anger rose in his heart.
It would be fine if she was targeting me, but Li Xiaoxia wanted to kill someone!
"What should we do? If we go directly to her and ask for an explanation, will she admit it?"
Seeing Ye Wangshu's worried face, Mrs. Zhang also felt a little sad.
She didn't want the child she had been waiting for so long to get hurt, no matter whether it was a boy or a girl.
Recalling that Li Xiaoxia had previously put laxatives in the workers' meals, Ye Wangshu shook his head.
"Given Li Xiaoxia's personality, she won't admit it unless she's caught red-handed."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Wangshu's eyes suddenly lit up. "Why don't we lure the snake out of its hole? If she doesn't do evil again, it's fine. If she does it again, we can bring her to justice. But... I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome."
"I'm not afraid of trouble. As long as it keeps me and my children well, I'm not afraid of hardship."
Seeing how Mrs. Zhang was willing to risk her life for her child, Ye Wangshu suddenly felt a little envious.
Maybe my mother loved me in this way, but she sent me to the orphanage only because she had no choice!
"Mrs. Zhang, let's do this first... then..."
Mrs. Zhang nodded and looked at Ye Wangshu excitedly, "Wangshu, you are so smart."
Ye Wangshu smiled embarrassedly, "It's getting late, I'll go home first. Remember to get the medicine."
"Well, Wangshu, go slower."
The next morning, Ye Wangshu brought fresh potato cakes into the city, intending to let people taste them to attract customers.
"Try it! Try it! Try it before you buy."
"Everyone, take a look! You can try it even if you don't want to buy it. If you like it, take it home and share it with your family."
“Fresh potato cakes, delicious and inexpensive!”
Ye Wangshu walked and shouted, holding potato cakes and walking through the streets and alleys of the city.
Ye Wangshu arrived in the city early, when people in the city had not yet started work.
Many people saw Ye Wangshu and felt curious, so they tried a piece of potato cake.
"Girl, I just found out that potatoes can be made into cakes. And I have to say, they taste really good."
"Girl, how much is this? This is all we need for breakfast!"
Ye Wangshu had inquired about the prices of pastries in the city long before. Although potato flour was a little more troublesome to make, she naturally wouldn't charge too much because the ingredients were simple.
"Three yuan for ten cents, how many do you want, ma'am?"
"This is much cheaper than the cakes in the pastry shop. The cheapest cakes there are only 7 or 8 cents!"
The old lady's eyes lit up with joy, and she took out two dimes and said, "Give me two dimes, it's just enough for our family."
"Okay! Take it, Auntie."
Ye Wangshu wrapped it in the butter paper he had just bought in the city and handed it to the old lady.
Seeing someone buying it, others immediately came over.
After trying it, most people bought a few cents worth of it and said they would take it home for their families to try.
After everyone dispersed, Ye Wangshu patted his pockets and was in a very good mood.
"Huh? Ye Wangshu, are you going to sell cakes instead of cosmetics?"
Sister Qin saw a group of people gathered from a distance and became curious. When the crowd dispersed, she found that the person being surrounded was Ye Wangshu, whom she had not seen for several days.
Seeing the regret written across Sister Qin's face, Ye Wangshu quickly explained, "These cakes are made in our village. They couldn't sell them, so I tried to sell them in the city. I didn't expect the results to be quite good. I just couldn't sell a lot of them."
"So that's how it is!" Sister Qin breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at the potato cakes, "Let me try some, if it tastes good I'll buy them all."
After hearing this, Ye Wangshu immediately handed over a piece.
"This tastes great! How come it can't sell?" Sister Qin looked puzzled. After finishing a piece of cake, she spoke again, "Pack all these up for me! How much?"
"Sister Qin, this won't do." Ye Wangshu shook his head and rejected Sister Qin. "Can you buy them all at once? Can you buy them every time?"
Sister Qin thought about it and felt that it made sense. After a moment's deliberation, she said, "Then...give me fifteen yuan for each portion, and five portions. I'll give them to people. Is that okay?"
"Okay! I'll wrap it for you right away. Since Sister Qin is giving it to someone, I'll make it look nice."
Ye Wangshu thought for a while before starting to take action.
Looking at the finished product, Sister Qin's eyes lit up. "Ye Wangshu! What else can't you do? Your wrappers are better than those in the pastry shops."
Ye Wangshu smiled sheepishly and said, "I just did some random research when I was at home."
Actually, it’s not. I learned this when I was in school and working as a tutor on weekends.
Ye Wangshu taught children, and for Teacher's Day, they were asked to make greeting cards for their teachers. The adults in the family were busy, and the child she taught was stubborn and refused to learn until the card was made.
Ye Wangshu had no choice but to help make the greeting cards and wrap the gifts prepared by the children.
"You're a hard worker and you did a great job. I'll have to buy these cakes more often in the future."
"Okay! The pastries for Sister Qin will definitely be the freshest!"
Sister Qin nodded and took the five packages of cakes. "I'll go back first. I wish you good luck."
Ye Wangshu nodded and then smiled at Sister Qin, "Then I will borrow Sister Qin's good wishes. I will never forget your help in the future."
"I will definitely not be polite when the time comes." Sister Qin smiled, then turned and left.
Ye Wangshu continued to walk to the next alley, still shouting the same words, and sold a lot of things.
