Chapter 2470 Out of the Cage
Under the psychological suggestion of the young ladies, after five or six days, the acne scars really faded a little, and they were even happier after the comparison.
As more and more people recovered, more and more people stopped Manbao to ask for ointment. Even Tang Run, a little kid in the back yard, ran over to stop her and said, "Auntie Man, we also want to buy ointment to remove acne scars."
Manbao said, "What's wrong with a man having two acne scars?"
Tang Run said, "Everyone loves beauty, and we are all handsome young men. How can you deprive us of our love of beauty, Aunt Man?"
Manbao actually thought what he said made sense, so he asked, "Do you have money?"
"Yes!" Tang Run said, "But it's not here. Wait until I get home and give it to you."
Manbao was surprised, "Your mother didn't accept your New Year's money?"
Except for her, everyone else's New Year's money was confiscated by their parents.
Little Tang Run pouted and said, "It's not New Year's money, it's my monthly allowance. My New Year's money is with my mother."
It seems that all mothers in the world are the same. Manbao was satisfied and felt that Tang Xuesao was still the Tang Xuesao she knew, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll give it to you on credit."
Tang Run immediately said, "My friends want to buy some too."
He didn't say which friend it was, but simply reported the number. "A total of twelve bottles, Aunt Man, we don't have any money right now. Please give us credit first, and I'll pay for it all. I'll give it to you when I get out."
Manbao said it was no problem.
Zhou Liru knew the prescription and how to make the ointment, and even Bai Shan knew it.
Making ointment was not difficult for Liu Sanniang. If one bottle could earn eight hundred coins, ten bottles would be eight thousand coins, which was a considerable income. So Lu and the others studied hard. After two days of study and spending a lot of medicinal materials, they finally learned how to make ointment. Then they could make ointment faster.
Two days later, Liu Sanniang brought in an exquisite porcelain bottle with the words "Zhou's Acne Cream" printed on it. It was filled with a reddish ointment. The color wasn't very pretty, but it had a medicinal aroma. Manbao took a bottle, opened it, smelled it, rubbed it on his hands, and tasted it on the tip of his tongue. Then he spat it out, rinsed his mouth, and said, "That's it. Is this all made by Li Ru?"
"No, it was done by Fourth Aunt and the others."
Manbao exclaimed "Wow" and praised: "Fourth sister-in-law and the others are getting more and more powerful."
Liu Sanniang smiled and asked, "Shall I give it to them now?"
Manbao nodded and said, "Take it. Now everyone's smallpox has scabbed off. Tell them that tomorrow we will bring in human pox for them to touch. After that, they will wait for seven days. If no pox breaks out, they can leave."
Liu Sanniang nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but wonder, "Master, will every batch of people who are vaccinated from now on be tested on human pox?"
"No," Manbao said, "The Imperial Hospital has a rule that if there are no unexpected cases after 10,000 people have been vaccinated, then it is confirmed that the cowpox vaccine is completely immune. There is no need to test it again. After the vaccination, you can leave after the scabs fall off."
This will greatly shorten the time.
Liu Sanniang was shocked and said, "When will we get to 10,000 people?"
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "With the current vaccination rate, it shouldn't be slow. His Majesty intends to have the Imperial Guards vaccinated in batches."
Liu Sanniang hadn't thought of this, "But they are quite old."
"So you have to see them. If they're physically able, it's better to get vaccinated. Aren't the veterans I tested at the border quite old? But the risk is definitely higher."
But the emperor's order was to go no matter how hard it was, not to mention that this was not even a mountain of swords or a sea of fire.
However, before vaccinating the imperial guards, Manbao wanted to vaccinate Bai Shan and the others first.
Seven days later, the gate of the imperial farm was reopened, and many old ladies and wives came in person to greet people.
They have been extremely worried for the past half month. Although the news coming out has always been very good, it is smallpox after all, so they are still very worried.
Even some elderly people couldn't help but come in person to pick up their sons, daughters, grandchildren and great-granddaughters.
So, as soon as the gate of the imperial farm opened, they saw the young men and women who had become much rounder.
The young men and women who were chattering about their families didn't realize it, but when they saw their elders at home, they finally felt a little homesick and ran towards their families.
Little boy Tang Run also rushed towards his parents like a cannonball, but he didn't throw himself into his mother's arms, but into his father's arms. He jumped up, hugged his father and howled: "Dad——"
Master Tang hugged him and shouted loudly: "Son——"
Mrs. Tang's face darkened. After the father and son hugged each other for a while, she saw that they were not going to stop, so she reached out to separate them and pulled Tang Run's ears in anger, "Why are you howling? Look at how fat you are now. Are you busy eating in there? Didn't I tell you to practice martial arts and exercise every day?"
Master Tang carefully held her hand and slowly moved it away from his son's ear. He said hurriedly, "There's nothing wrong with being a little rounder. Look, isn't Zhou Man round? Isn't she in good health?"
Manbao, who was walking over, widened his eyes in disbelief when he heard this and immediately ran up to him, "I'm fat?"
Lord Tang was startled and looked around, "Hey, didn't Bai Shan come to pick you up today?"
Manbao was depressed, "Why did he come to pick me up?"
"It's a day off today."
Manbao then remembered that today was indeed a day off, but that didn't matter. What mattered was, "Xuesao, am I fat?"
Mrs. Tang smiled slightly. "You're not fat. You're round and cute, and your figure is just right. How can you be fat?"
Mr. Tang also nodded, "Yes, it's a face problem, not a fat or thin problem."
Mrs. Tang's face turned pale. She calmly stepped on his foot and stepped hard.
Mr. Tang hissed, and Mrs. Tang whispered, "If you can't speak, don't speak."
Before Manbao could investigate further, she heard someone calling her name. She turned her head and looked in the direction of the voice. She saw Bai Shan standing on a carriage in the distance, waving at her and shouting, "We can't get in. Come out quickly."
Manbao decided not to argue with Mr. Tang, so he said to little friend Tang Run: "Just send the money to my house, I'm leaving first."
So he ran away.
Mrs. Tang waited until she ran away before she lowered her head and asked her son, "What money?"
Little Tang Run said seriously, "My son and Aunt Man bought a bottle of ointment to get rid of acne scars."
He held up two fingers and gestured, "Eight hundred coins a bottle."
It was quite expensive, but Mrs. Tang didn't feel bad about it. She rolled up his sleeves, looked at the acne, and nodded, saying, "Mother will pay for it."
Little Tang Run was very happy, with excitement shining in his eyes.
Lord Tang lowered his head and stared at his son thoughtfully.
