Chapter 233: Long Flowing Silver Basin
Shen Xiucai changed the subject: "Han Xing told me that she wanted to participate in the imperial examination next spring."
Wen Zhenyi turned his head to look at him: “Is Grandpa Shen worried?”
"He's feeling much better now, but he won't be able to come out in just one day. I'm afraid his body can't handle it."
"I'll find a way to fix it."
"It seems I was worrying too much. Since you let him go to the scientific examination, you must be sure of it."
"I don't know if I'm sure, but I can give it a try."
"Okay, Grandpa Shen is old, and you have your own ideas." Shen Xiucai smiled and looked at Wen Yongman who was playing with Naiyou in the yard.
Wen Yongnan came out of his room after changing his clothes and prepared to go back to the private school: "Xiaoman, we should go back to the private school."
Wen Yongman hugged the cream and rubbed it for a while: "Okay."
Naiyou looked as if she had lost all hope in life and let him wipe the sweat off her body.
As soon as Wen Zhenyi sent them out of the store, she saw Naiyou lying on a stool, spread out in a big letter, looking at her with a wronged look on his face.
She walked over to Cream and patted its head: "I'll wash it for you later."
Cream then turned over and sat up, jumped off the stool, and disappeared without a trace in a moment.
Zhu Tao looked at her and smiled: "Naiyou is so smart."
"That's right."
When Wen Zhenyi came back, he also brought a handheld fan made by Xiong Lu, as well as something he made for feeding medicine to children. He planned to go see Cheng Lesheng and Doctor Wan tomorrow.
I had originally planned to go there in the morning when it was busiest, but they came on their own before I even went.
Doctor Wan sat in the shop with a smile on his face and ordered a breakfast.
Wen Zhen was also stunned when he saw him: "Doctor Wan, why are you here?"
"I'm taking a break today, so I'll come to your shop for breakfast."
"I also said I'd meet you at your pharmacy later."
Doctor Wan put down his chopsticks and looked at Wen Zhenyi: "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, my uncle made something and wants you to see if it can be used."
"What?"
"Wait a moment, I'll get it out." Then he went to the backyard and got out the medicine.
Doctor Wan took the item from her hand and examined it carefully. It looked a bit strange in shape, but it was quite practical. "Is this a device for feeding medicine to children?"
Wen Zhen nodded: "Well, pour the medicine into this small jar, and then let it flow into your mouth along this long channel."
Doctor Wan examined it carefully and said, "This is quite convenient. It's not easy to feed medicine to naughty children or seriously ill patients. This can solve the problem."
"If I make it, can I sell it in your store?"
"Yes, but you can't use iron. You can consider using copper, pottery or wood."
"Okay, I'll let him try then."
"Okay, when it's done, you can send it to my shop."
"Thank you, Doctor Wan."
"You're welcome. This is also because it's useful to me."
"Take your time. I'll treat you to dinner today."
"That's so embarrassing."
"I've troubled you a lot before, and this is what I should do."
Doctor Wan smiled and stroked his beard: "Then I won't be polite."
"You're welcome. Just order whatever you want."
Doctor Wan smiled and nodded.
Wen Zhenyi told him to take his time and turned around to see Cheng Lesheng entering the store: "Master Cheng is here early today."
"Are you well?"
"alright."
"Let me talk to you somewhere."
Wen Zhenyi pointed to the backyard and said, "Wait for me in the backyard."
"Tell Axiang to get me something to eat. I'm starving."
Wen Zhen blinked and said, "Why don't you just go and call her yourself?"
"If my calling her helps, you won't have to."
"Why do you and Axiang always quarrel when you meet?"
"How should I know? Maybe our horoscopes are incompatible." Cheng Lesheng expressed helplessness.
"Okay, sit in the backyard for a while, I'll ask my aunt to get you something to eat."
Cheng Lesheng said hello to Shen Hanxing and went to the backyard to wait for food.
Wen Zhenyi asked Aunt Ding to bring some food to Cheng Lesheng.
Shen Hanxing also walked to the backyard and looked at Cheng Lesheng: "Have you been busy recently?"
"That's right. Many people outside are buying the chicken and duck eggs made in your village, but they are now sold out."
"Out of stock?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect these things to sell so well. I was thinking if they couldn't be sold in the county, I would send them to the state capital to see if they could be sold. Who knew they would be sold out? There are still many people asking for them."
Chen Hanxing was also a little confused. Their store also sold some small items, but nothing as exaggerated as he said: "What's going on?"
"I was also curious. I asked someone to find out and found out that it was made by Wen Zhenyi, so everyone went there for her."
Wen Zhenyi carried a tray with tea on it and placed it on the table: "Who are you going there for?"
Cheng Lesheng took the tea and took a sip: "You."
Wen Zhenyi sat next to Shen Hanxing: “What do you mean?”
Shen Hanxing roughly recounted the conversation between the two.
Wen Zhenyi smiled and shook his head: "Some people will eat it, but some people may not eat it."
"Who knows, but I asked the shopkeeper, and some of them are bought and come back again."
"Customers like this must like the food, otherwise they wouldn't buy it again and again."
Cheng Lesheng finally ate and drank enough, and burped in a very unpresentable way: "Finally, I'm full."
"I was planning to look for you today, but you came by yourself."
"Is there something wrong?" Cheng Lesheng took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Wen Zhen got up and went to the room to take out the handle fan and handed it to him: "I want you to see if there is a market for this thing."
Cheng Lesheng took the thing from her hand: "What is this? Why is it so strange?"
"You press a button on the side."
Cheng Lesheng pressed a raised button next to the handle, and then saw the fan start to turn. A cool breeze came out of the fan, which made people feel cool.
"This thing is quite interesting, but it's no different from a fan."
Shen Hanxing looked at the thing in his hand: “Uncle Xiong made it?”
"Well, I just said it casually at the time, but he actually did it."
Cheng Lesheng looked at this thing and fell into deep thought: "I really don't know if anyone will buy this thing. After all, its function is similar to that of a fan. If it were bigger and used at home, I think it might be more useful."
Wen Zhenyi lowered his head and thought for a moment: "If I use it at home, someone has to crank it manually."
Cheng Lesheng swung his folding fan and said, "Anyone who can afford this must have a few servants at home, right?"
Wen Zhenyi understood what he meant. He was planning to go among the rich. "Okay, I'll ask Uncle Xiong to make one for us later."
