Chapter 18: A 'huge sum' of one tael of silver



Fusheng Pharmacy.

Doctor Liang was surprised to see the large and small pieces of dirt covering the patient's chest. He touched it and found that it was still warm but still a little cool.

When he felt the patient's body temperature return to normal, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Excuse me, is this soil used for cooling?"

Doctor Liang asked the people in front of him tentatively.

The uncle and nephew looked at each other, and the young man finally recovered and kept wiping the sweat off his face.

Chen Xinli had no choice but to nod.

Doctor Liang's eyes widened in disbelief, but his eyes were full of excitement, and he couldn't help muttering to himself:

"The temperature dropped so quickly!"

"This is a really quick-witted idea!"

Seeing that Doctor Liang was staring at the location of the mud block again as if he had some questions, Shen Xinli could only add:

"The dirt was initially placed on the forehead, armpits and other important parts of the body, but due to the bumpy road, it ended up on the patient's abdomen.

Doctor Liang was surprised and said, "So that's how it is!"

In recent days, the number of patients suffering from heatstroke has increased in the clinic. Dr. Liang has been troubled for a long time because he is unable to quickly lower the patients' body temperatures.

Now, besides using water, there is this method, so Dr. Liang is naturally excited.

After that, all the patients with heat stroke who were treated were happy to receive a few bags of mud therapy.

Of course, that’s a story for later.

On this side, the uncle and nephew of the Shen family sent the patient to the clinic, answered Doctor Liang's questions, and then hurried to the county's clothing shop.

If they don't hurry up, they will have to go back in the dark.

Although he earned nearly half a tael of silver today, Shen Fuyou was still a little worried.

I just hope to get this over with quickly so I can go back and share the good news.

The farmers did not regard an accidental rescue as an opportunity to change their fate.

Therefore, before the boy next to the patient could inquire about their identities, the uncle and nephew had already disappeared.

***

Yunjin Pavilion.

Standing on the bustling street of Xishi, it has two floors and looks quite elegant from the outside. There are many well-dressed women and young ladies coming in and out.

"Ali, do we really want to go in?" Shen Fuyou hesitated.

"Second Uncle, since we are here, we must go in."

Chen Xinli said as she walked inside.

A shop assistant in the store seemed not to notice the clothes of the uncle and nephew, but asked with a smile:

"Excuse me, are you guys looking to buy ready-made clothes?"

There are many people pretending to be poor these days.

A few days ago, another clerk Qingshan met a ragged little girl. Who would have thought that she would take out twenty taels of silver.

Qingshan was fired by the shopkeeper for his rude words and neglect of the guests. He must not be reckless again.

The young man Zishan looked at Shen Fuyou and the others and thought.

However, because of his young age, he subconsciously glanced at the person who came:

"Hey, these people are pretending so much alike! These clothes, these bamboo baskets, and there's even a charming scent on their clothes. They dress just like my cousin who farms in the village."

The waiter was muttering in his heart, but he heard the man in front of him say: "We are looking for the shopkeeper."

Shen Fuyou felt relieved when he saw that the waiter was not as arrogant as the one he met in Stone Town.

The clerk immediately went into the inner room to invite the shopkeeper, his expression unchanged.

A short, fat, round-faced man came walking over, looked at Chen Xinli and the other two, and said with a normal expression, "

"My surname is Pang and my given name is Changgui. You may address me as Manager Pang. What can I do for you?"

"Shopkeeper Pang!"

"Fat shopkeeper!"

Chen Xinli's mouth twitched for a moment. Seeing that this person was so polite, she had to suppress her smile. She immediately took out a round fan with a 'V' pattern and stepped forward to ask:

"I wonder if the fat shopkeeper will do this fan business?"

As she came in, Chen Xinli was also quietly looking at the clothing store in front of her.

I saw that the bottom floor was full of women's clothing.

Chen Xinli was amazed by the colorful and varied skirts.

In her previous life, she had never worn Hanfu. When she went to the ancient town to play, she saw those young ladies wearing Hanfu and holding bamboo fans, who were so beautiful. Then she thought of making bamboo fans to make money.

The rows of clothes in front of me obviously look more exquisitely made.

However, she was very curious about whether the person wearing this layered style would feel hot.

The fat shopkeeper was still pondering the round fan in his hand. It had a unique pattern and a rare shape.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the little girl take out a bamboo fan and compare it with the front of a light purple skirt.

I couldn't help but be attracted to it.

The bamboo fan is woven entirely from gradient light purple bamboo strips, cut into the shape of a "five-leaf petal", and the edging is also the same color. In the middle of the petal, it is specially drawn to look like a pistil.

Gently waving the bamboo fan is like a purple flower floating in the wind, bringing a cool breeze in this hot weather.

It looks good, so good!

This combination is really unique.

The shopkeeper couldn't help but be shocked by this clever idea, but he didn't show it.

"Little sister, how much is your bamboo fan? I want one!"

Chen Xinli looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a light pink skirt, with shiny hair tied in a lily bun, red lips and white teeth, looking at Chen Xinli coquettishly.

"it's beautiful!"

After Chen Xinli finished her sigh, she looked at her dry and yellow hair, her shriveled body, and her patched clothes.

Well, it’s natural to appreciate beautiful people and things.

She is not ashamed of herself!

However, this scene was still seen by Shen Fuyou.

Before Chen Xinli could speak, she heard the fat shopkeeper say, "Miss, please wait until I have finished discussing the business with this little girl's family before you buy it!"
