Previously, she had never considered tampering with salt. Mainly because salt was controlled by the imperial court, and there were few opportunities for lower-level officials to manipulate it.
There's a large salt mine here, and she's heard a lot about it lately—many people have made their fortunes from it. Maybe she could get involved too.
"Really? What can we do here?"
Upon hearing that there was another business opportunity, Zhou Jie immediately became very interested.
"Then you should rest for a bit, and I'll take you out to see the world tomorrow!"
Zhou Jie nodded quickly, and Han Mengze also skipped over: "Big sister, I can help too!"
"Me too, I can do it too!" Han Luoyu looked at her expectantly.
Looking at his two younger siblings, and then at Doctor Xu who had come with them, they realized that the journey had been quite bumpy, and Doctor Xu, being of advanced age, was inevitably showing signs of fatigue.
The two little ones also wanted to help. Han Luoxue suddenly thought of that clinic. If possible, it would be good to take over that clinic.
However, the shopkeeper was a bit stubborn. Han Luoxue felt that he just didn't want to change the clinic into another place. If possible, she could take over the whole place or partner with him.
The clinic is in a very bad situation right now; there are people outside eyeing it covetously, waiting to take over the shop.
Although the clinic owner is still struggling to stay afloat, Han Luoxue knows that under these circumstances, the owner simply cannot sustain the business for long.
He is currently facing immense pressure, not only financially but also mentally.
After thinking for a moment, Han Luoxue decided to ask Doctor Xu for his opinion.
"Dr. Xu, would you like to open a clinic here?"
In the past, Doctor Xu would teach his children at home. Now that they've come here, he doesn't know how long they'll stay. Actually, Han Luoxue would prefer to stay here longer.
The climate and scenery here are great; it's a perfect place to retire.
In addition, with the presence of salt mines, the economy is much better than in other places. Usually, it is very easy to live a wealthy life in such places.
"In no mood!"
"Doctor Xu replied without hesitation," Han Luoxue said, somewhat speechless. This Doctor Xu was truly unassuming and detached from worldly affairs.
"Never mind then. When I went out today, I saw a clinic that was doing extremely poorly. I heard that someone even died while treating them recently. Now, there are people blocking the clinic from the outside, preventing people from getting in!"
"However, the owner inside is a stubborn man. He lost a lot of money, but he still sticks to the clinic and doesn't want it to be converted into another place! I think that old man still has some backbone."
Doctor Xu raised an eyebrow but did not speak.
Han Luoyu, however, looked intrigued: "Someone died from being treated? How is that possible? Normally, it's very difficult to kill someone while treating them."
Han Luoxue's lips twitched violently. Everyone knew that traditional Chinese medicine techniques were relatively gentle, and under normal circumstances, the medicine prescribed by doctors was not strong or weak. It was definitely not an easy thing to kill someone on the spot.
But that was the news she heard. It was obvious there was something fishy going on, but unfortunately, the pharmacy couldn't recant its story.
"If someone dies while being treated in a pharmacy, then they really have some skill!"
Doctor Xu pursed his lips, still not very interested.
Han Luoxue didn't try to persuade him. Now that they were all here, they could open a clinic if they liked, or it wouldn't matter if they didn't.
Yunniang, however, had an idea. She came out and took Han Luoxue's hand: "Xue girl, you see I'm just sitting here doing nothing all day. I can embroider a little bit every now and then. Why don't I open an embroidery shop here?"
Back in the capital, although she had her own embroidery workshop, it ultimately belonged to Zhenjie. She had a share, and the workshop belonged to both of them, but Yunniang still wanted a separate embroidery workshop of her own.
Han Luoxue understood that feeling; her mother wanted her own career, and she naturally supported it wholeheartedly.
“I have no objection. However, Mother, the customs of the two places are different. Tomorrow, I'll go out with you to take a look and see what's going on. If we want to open an embroidery workshop, we'll have to make clothes that are suitable for this place!”
Yunniang nodded hurriedly. They had done well in the capital before, and she was very confident about coming here.
Seeing that her mother had her own things to do, Han Luoyu came over and said, "Sister, can you help me find something to do too?"
Although she had been learning medicine from Dr. Xu, it was all from books; without practical experience, it wouldn't work.
Medicine is different from other things; it requires more practice.
Han Luoyu had considered joining the army before, because there were many wounded people there, and she had to deal with countless patients every day.
Unfortunately, my parents disagreed. They said that kind of place was not suitable for a girl.
Therefore, she didn't tell Han Luoxue, because she felt that her sister would definitely not agree.
"Sure, we'll find a shop and open a pharmacy for you too!"
The clinic needs experienced doctors, but there's no rush. However, opening a pharmacy is still an option.
"You've all just arrived, so don't rush. Why don't you go and rest for a bit? I'll prepare some ingredients; we'll have barbecue tonight!"
It's been a long time since I've had barbecue. Han Luoxue can usually grill it herself, but it doesn't feel the same when there are fewer people.
There are many people today, so we can eat together.
Hearing that there was more delicious food, Zhou Jie was the first to jump up: "Great! Great! I'm not tired at all, Xue'er, I'll help you out. You know I can do anything now!"
