Is her water only effective for critically ill patients and those with complex or rare diseases?
Does it also have some health-strengthening and beauty-enhancing functions?
That makes everything match up.
"That family came from the north and is only staying here temporarily. They must be a well-off family," Tang Xinghuai whispered.
Upon hearing that they came from the north, Song Ning's first reaction was that they were fleeing from war, but when he heard that their family was well-off, he became interested.
"Dr. Tang, how much does your most expensive medicine cost?"
Tang Xinghuai held up five fingers, which Song Ning interpreted as five taels of silver.
As the two were talking, the girl walked in from outside.
"Little girl, we'll buy your medicine no matter the price!"
Song Ning thought about it for a moment. She didn't want to take advantage of others, but if her water really had that effect, then it would indeed be valuable.
However, Song Ning didn't ask for more; he only asked for 300 coins for the whole bottle, which Tang Xinghuai said was too cheap.
Without saying a word, the two siblings took out the money, then accepted the medicine from Song Ning and thanked him profusely.
As soon as the two left, Song Ning looked at Tang Xinghuai and asked, "Dr. Tang, are you interested in doing some business?"
When Song Ning came out of the clinic, the corners of her mouth were turned up in a big smile.
Today, a small bottle of water sold for three hundred coins, and a deal was struck with the clinic.
From then on, she would supply medicine to the clinic, purchasing each bottle for 500 coins. As for how much the clinic would sell it for, Song Ning didn't care; this price was set by Tang Xinghuai himself.
She comes every two days. This time she brought ten small bottles from the clinic. She will receive the money and the goods at the same time. She will get five taels of silver.
Tsk, so satisfying~
She now has quite a bit of money. She used to think about repairing her own house, but suddenly her thoughts changed. If conditions allow, she will move to the town to live.
The village no longer needs to grow grain, so Song Dahai and Liu Yuelan don't have to be reluctant to give up that piece of land. In addition, with the water shortage and various restrictions, it would be much more convenient to deliver goods if they lived in the town. It would also be better to stay away from the Song family and their group, so they could have some peace and quiet.
Having made up his mind, Song Ning planned to ask about it on his next trip to town.
The carriage headed out of the city, and just as the group reached the city gate, they heard shouts from behind; someone had caught up with them.
They were the waiter and manager of Hongfu Restaurant.
Seeing that they had stopped the car, the two quickly jumped out and hurried over.
The shopkeeper said as soon as he arrived, "We've made it in time! The boss asked us to ask you if you could deliver every day from now on."
"Did you sell out of today's delivery?"
The shopkeeper nodded and smiled, "Sold out. The owner said he'll want more in the future, a thousand each."
Song Ning really wanted to agree to that number, but if she came every day, she would definitely miss out on Qi Liangyuan's carriage. The thought of taking an oxcart for eight hours round trip gave Song Ning a headache.
She hesitated: "My home is quite far from the county town. If I come every day, it will take too long to take the oxcart, and I'm afraid I won't be able to sell my goods by noon."
The shopkeeper also fell silent. The problem couldn't be solved in the short term, and the group couldn't think of any other solutions. But that stuff had become incredibly popular at the restaurant today, and if it was gone tomorrow, the customers would definitely cause trouble.
Song Ning looked up at the carriage not far away and suddenly thought of a solution.
"How about this, I deliver goods to Shanhe Town every day. When I can't come to the county town, you can send someone to pick them up by cart. That way, neither of us will be inconvenienced. What do you think?"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea."
“Alright, I’ll come to the county town every two days. Please send a carriage over in the next two days. Wait for me at the entrance of Nankang Restaurant around 7:00 AM.”
"Okay, we'll definitely be there tomorrow."
With the deal settled, Song Ning followed Wang Fugui back out of the city.
"No wonder our boss always praises you. You're quite capable, young lady, managing to get in touch with restaurants in the county town," Wang Fugui said admiringly as he drove the cart.
Song Ning smiled and said, "It's all about surviving. We have to find a way to make money, right?"
When she first arrived, she had to eat a handful of wild vegetables three times a day. Thanks to the hard work of her family, they are finally able to stop going hungry.
When they arrived in town, Li Daniu was already waiting for them at the entrance of the restaurant.
He no longer needs to bring villagers to town; his oxcart is now completely owned by Song Ning, and the cost has increased from six to ten coins.
"Uncle Niu, is everything alright at home?"
"Don't worry, nothing's wrong at home. I just heard that the village chief seems to be looking for someone to fire a kiln."
Nanshan Village used to be a well-known village in Shanhe Town.
In previous years, the village had kiln operators who could earn a lot of money each year. Once the villagers had earned money and harvested their grain, the village would hire an opera troupe to perform.
Every year when operas are performed, Nanshan Village is the most envied place among the surrounding villages.
However, this good fortune declined year by year. In some years, many families in Nanshan Village moved away, and there were very few people left in the village who knew how to fire kilns.
Later, those who still knew how to fire kilns all got old, and no one mentioned it again.
"I heard that the village chief took it very seriously and called all the people in the village who knew how to fire kilns."
"If you can keep doing this job, it's actually not bad."
Li Daniu shook his head: "In the past, it was because there were no kilns in the town that our village's products could be sold. But now almost every village has one, and with the same price, everyone naturally chooses the better one."
Song Ning understood: the company was no longer competitive in the market.
The products made in Nanshan Village kilns were inferior to those from other places, and they were gradually phased out. Now, Nanshan Village has become the most backward of the surrounding villages.
The two walked towards Nanshan Village. When they were almost out of town, Li Daniu pointed ahead and said, "Erya, isn't that your second uncle?"
Upon hearing this, Song Ning looked up and saw that it was true. He seemed quite excited, as if he was saying something.
Is that Song Rui beside him?
Have they found the person?
Song Erhai stepped forward to shove Song Rui, but Song Rui, with a cold face and a look of disgust, dodged to the side.
After arguing for a while, Song Erhai's expression changed.
Without even listening, Song Ning knew what had happened between the two.
It was simply that Song Erhai was asking his son for money, but Song Rui refused to give it to him.
Before the family split up, everyone ate together, and everything was given to Li Guixiang, so naturally Li Guixiang wouldn't let Song Erhai suffer.
But now that the three Song brothers have separated their households, the life of the second branch of the Song family is different.
Song Erhai was spoiled by Li Guixiang since childhood and became lazy and good-for-nothing. It is said that he can't even dig as many potatoes as his wife Zhang when it comes to digging potatoes in the mountains.
Li Guixiang could still boast about this, believing that her second son was the one she loved the most.
They're blind.
However, Song Ning didn't want to get involved in or inquire about the Song family's affairs, and he forgot about it once he got home.
The very next day, news came from the Song family's old residence that Song Erhai had suffered a stroke.
