Chapter 7: Money-Making Opportunities
Shen Cheng ignored him.
"You want me to go on a blind date with you? Come on, I'm afraid the other person will be attracted to me instead of you."
There was a smile in Shen Cheng's eyes, the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and the tear mole seemed to be flashing with seductive charm.
The deep, hoarse voice is quite alluring.
Jiang Pengyu covered his chest and exclaimed, "You are so shameless."
But he hasn't been home for a long time.
If I don't go back, I'm afraid I won't be able to report to my superiors.
He had accumulated some vacation time, and Jiang Pengyu was thinking that it was time for him to file a report and apply to go home to visit his family.

The next day, Jiang Nianzi got up early in the morning.
After the lady's reminder yesterday, Jiang Nianzi realized that if she wanted to attract more customers, her image was the most important thing.
Although she doesn't have the money to buy whitening cream for the time being, she can try sunscreen first.
She has a good foundation and beautiful facial features. If she were white, she would be a living signboard.
So early in the morning, Jiang Nianzi did nothing else but sew sun hats and sun masks.
There was only coarse cloth at home, so she had no choice but to make do with it for the time being.
Ding Hongmei and Jiang Cheng, who got up earlier than her, had already gone to work.
Jiang Doudou was also taken away.
After finally sewing a perfect sun hat and sun mask, Jiang Nianzi smiled with satisfaction.
Whether it is a hat or a mask, she made a curtain that can perfectly cover the front and back of the neck.
Physical sun protection can be said to be the most effective way of sun protection.
She walked all the way to the village entrance and ran into Aunt Liu who had said last time that she was a money-loser.
Aunt Liu could smell the aroma of meat in her house yesterday.
Recognizing Jiang Nianzi at a glance, Aunt Liu said in a sinister tone, "Hey, Nianzi, are you going out?"
Jiang Nianzi nodded politely: "Well, go to the town to see a doctor."
Jiang Nianzhi and the old lady had studied medicine, and everyone in the village knew it. Aunt Liu remembered that she had just returned from outside yesterday when the smell of meat came from the Jiang family.
He said in a sour tone, "Oh, so you are treating patients. No wonder you had meat yesterday. Was it given to you by the patients?"
This person had a sour tone, and Jiang Nianzi deliberately angered her: "I was treating a patient, and the patient gave me two kilograms of fat as a thank you. Auntie, you don't know, this patient is really too polite. I said no, but she insisted on giving it to me. I had no choice but to accept it because I didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable. Alas..."
Two pounds of fat!
Or someone else forced me to give it to you.
Aunt Liu's eyes turned red from jealousy.
Why doesn't she have such a good thing?
Yes, because there is no doctor in her family who can treat illnesses.
Aunt Liu was both jealous and greedy, because that was two kilograms of fat meat.
Just thinking about the fragrance made Aunt Liu drool.
I am extremely jealous in my heart, but I am merciless in words.
"Nianzi, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but you're already 18 years old, it's time for you to find a husband. It's not a good idea to keep dragging it on like this for a long time. Girls should still make plans for themselves, lest you get older and can't get married."
After saying this, Aunt Liu felt a little more balanced. So what if he knew medical skills?
Not a girl yet?
The money-loser is no match for those two guys in her family.
Only Ding Hongmei treats her as a treasure.
The more Aunt Liu thought about it, the more proud she became.
Jiang Nianzi was so angry that she said, "It doesn't matter, auntie. If you can't get married, then don't get married. Anyway, I'm working in a clinic now, and I can earn at least 30 yuan a month. I'll save the money for my mother to supplement the family expenses. When my brother gets married, I can also save money for him. This way, my sister-in-law won't dislike me staying at home in the future."
Jiang Nianzhi didn't have that idea, but Aunt Liu did.
She thought she was a loser, but she deliberately told her that she was happy to make money for her family.
Magic defeats magic, that's probably what it means.
Aunt Liu took it seriously and almost died of jealousy.
This girl's enlightenment makes people jealous!
Pay back the thirty bucks!
With so much money coming in a month, Aunt Liu counted on her fingers and made herself dizzy.
Why didn't she give birth to such an enlightened girl?
It's really a good deal for that bitch Ding Hongmei.
Having successfully made people jealous to death, Jiang Nianzi left happily.
When Aunt Liu came to her senses, she didn't even see Jiang Nianzhi's back.
When she arrived at the town's clinic, Jiang Nianzi discovered that the woman from yesterday was crying to Grandpa Zhang in the store.
What's happening?
Jiang Nianzi walked over.
When Zhao Fangru saw her, she pointed at her and said, "How dare you come here? Look at what you have done to my face."
The words sounded fierce, but the girl kept accusing her while crying.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Nianzi asked her puzzledly when she saw a piece of cloth wrapped around her face.
Grandpa Zhang had just chatted with Zhao Fangru and didn't know her specific situation. When Jiang Nianzi asked, he subconsciously looked at Jiang Nianzi.
"How dare you ask?" Zhao Fangru ripped off the cloth on her face and said, "I applied this whitening cream on my face yesterday just as you instructed. I got so many pimples this morning."
It turned out to be just acne.
Jiang Nianzi spoke calmly and in a gentle voice: "Everyone's physique is different, don't worry, this pimple is a detoxification process, it will be completely detoxified in a week at most, and it will recover later. After the detoxification, your skin will become smoother, so just don't scratch it."
Her voice is very pleasant, soft and melodious, like mountain spring water.
Moreover, she was very calm and composed, and seemed to be very confident about the matter.
All women love beauty. So many pimples suddenly appeared on her face overnight. And her wedding date is approaching, so Zhao Fangru was so panicked.
Now that I heard her say that everything was fine, my heart seemed to fall back into my stomach.
But I still feel a little worried: "What if it doesn't get rid of it?"
"I can guarantee that I will get rid of it, but since you are so worried, I have a plan..."
"What plan?" Zhao Fangru asked immediately.
"I'll give you acupuncture to speed up the detoxification process. It should be gone in three days at most."
Zhao Fangru doesn't want to see the pimples on her face for a single day.
When she heard that there was a way to speed up detoxification, Zhao Fangru immediately chose this plan.
"Okay, then acupuncture."
The old man didn't say a word from beginning to end. Seeing Jiang Nianzi facing the patient's questioning with a calm and orderly attitude, he felt quite impressed.
He is a good talent and is calm in the face of difficulties. I heard from my junior sister that this child's medical skills are even better than hers, and he can understand a lot just by reading books.
When Jiang Nianzi was giving acupuncture to Zhao Fangru, the old man was right next to her.
He saw that Jiang Nianzhi didn't even look closely, and the row of silver needles were like flowers blooming in her hands, and they were inserted into various acupuncture points accurately and quickly.
This surprised Mr. Zhang very much.
Even he doesn't have such a good method.
Acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine is extensive and profound, and it is more than just targeting acupuncture points.
Different techniques can produce very different results.
Zhao Fangru used to be most afraid of silver needle injections, but she found that when Jiang Nianzi injected her with the needle, she didn't feel any pain at all.
The needle tip vibrated and felt a little numb, which made Zhao Fangru feel comfortable.
It’s no wonder that after the acupuncture, Zhao Fangru felt a lot more relaxed.
This made her more confident that her skin could get better.
She apologized to Jiang Nianzi embarrassedly and then hurried home.
After everyone left, the old man came over and asked Jiang Nianzi with a smile: "Girl, acupuncture is not bad, isn't it your grandma who taught you?"
He still knew what was going on with his own junior sister.
The level is just so-so, at most it's just a cold.
Jiang Nianzi couldn't say that she learned it from an authoritative Chinese medicine master in later generations.
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Nianzi explained, "It wasn't my grandmother who taught me. She only taught me to recognize acupuncture points. I had some ideas in my mind. I met an old Chinese medicine doctor and exchanged some words with him. He gave me some advice, so I often tried it on myself and found that it was effective."
So that's how it is.
The old man believed it.
However, this explanation made him even more certain that this girl was incredibly talented.
The old man thought that maybe he could take her to the old customer's Hakka home to try it out.
It's not confirmed yet, so the old man is not in a hurry to tell her.
He just said, "Zizi, you haven't had breakfast yet, here are two cents, go to the store across the street and buy two buns."
Jiang Nianzi did not eat breakfast, nor was she polite to the old man.
Instead of being so polite, it would be better to repay the old man better in the future.
So Jiang Nianzi just said thank you and accepted the money from the old man.
Two cents can buy two buns.
Jiang Nianzi walked over quickly to buy buns. There were two female customers in the store who also came to buy buns.
The two women were discussing making clothes.
The fat woman said to the thin woman, "Look at my dress. Isn't it nice? It's brand new. It was made by the new tailor shop."
The thin woman said curiously, "It looks so good. I want to do something like this, too."
Jiang Nianzi glanced subconsciously.
She has always had a difficult time judging the clothing of this era.
Because in her eyes, everything is ugly.
But that thin woman is very rare.
This suddenly gave Jiang Nianzi an idea of a business opportunity.
maybe.
She could have more ways to make money.
She was extremely grateful that she came in 1980 and not earlier.
Because this era has been a time of great liberation.
After buying some buns, I saw several patients coming into the store.
But they are just common colds. In Jiang Nianzi's eyes, this kind of minor problem is a piece of cake.
When Jiang Nianzi was dispensing medicine for someone, the old man was watching.
After the patient left, the old man asked, "Did you come up with this prescription yourself by combining medical knowledge and medicinal properties?"
These prescriptions were indeed developed by Jiang Nianzi herself.
Traditional Chinese medicine has always been criticized for its slow effectiveness.
In her previous life, Jiang Nianzhi published a paper on this issue, which won the highest authoritative award in traditional Chinese medicine.
When her grandfather asked her about it, she thought for a moment and said, "Well, I researched it myself. I saw the prescriptions my grandmother wrote for patients and felt that they were not very effective, so I started researching prescriptions myself."
The old man thought for a while and then said with a smile, "Next week, come with me to an old customer's house."
The junior sister also asked the girl to learn from him. After only two days, he learned a lot from this girl.
This girl's medical skills may be much better than his.
Jiang Nianzi naturally agreed to the request made by the old man.
The next day, the patients who had come to see the doctor the day before came and said to the old man: "Oh, old man, your apprentice is incredible. My throat was so painful yesterday, as if it was cut by a knife. I thought it would take at least three or four days to recover. Unexpectedly, I took two doses of the medicine prescribed by your apprentice yesterday, and I am cured today."
One said that, perhaps by accident.
However, afterwards, several patients said that they had just a minor cold and were cured by Jiang Nianzi in no time.
This shocked the old man.
When he looked at the prescription, he only noticed the wonderful effect of the combination of those herbs.
But I didn't expect the effect would be so good.
