Chapter 24 How ungrateful!
Old Man Zhou agreed immediately and made a sturdy large wooden box for the four houses.
After they were done, Mrs. Zhou said, "We need more wood to make a big table for their room. The room is very empty. Make a table and two benches, one on each side of the table..."
Anyway, the Zhou family had enough spare wood, so Zhou Lang immediately went to the backyard and carried back two more pieces of wood.
Old Man Zhou had all the carpentry tools, and with Zhou Lang's help, the table and the bench were soon made.
Wang was feeling jealous beside them.
"The legs of the table in our Qinan's room are a little unstable. Dad, why don't you make a new table for Qinan and move his old table to our room?"
Old Man Zhou beat one person and then beat two people.
We played two tables together.
I didn’t say anything about the other rooms because I was afraid that people might have objections.
There was also a bench for them in each room.
Anyway, they are all the simplest ones, which only take a little time. In order to save money, even a layer of cleaning oil is not applied.
Use it if you can.
Very rough.
But at least it's my own property.
Lin Shiqi also looked quite happy.
In their four-room room, there used to be an old bed, a tattered washstand, and a rattan suitcase that was about to fall apart. It was placed next to the bed and used as a table to put things on, and it was deformed.
There were also several big holes bitten by rats.
It's ok now.
The doors and windows are sturdy and can be locked from the inside.
There is also an extra large wooden box, so there is no need to worry about mice building nests in it, and it can hold a lot of things.
Old man Zhou has good craftsmanship and he made the box into a sandwich box with two layers.
There is also a lock on the outside. When the time comes, Lin Shiqi can buy a padlock and use it as a storage box.
When you go out and are not at home, you can lock the box and you don’t have to worry about your privacy being discovered.
As for the house, it has a new table and two new benches, making it more convenient.
It is an indispensable household item.

***
In Longquan Town.
In the inn.
Doctor Gong and his apprentice ordered a lot of delicious food, roast chicken, braised goose...
Enjoy in the room.
"Master, is that kid sick or not? How come he got better all of a sudden?"
They secretly asked people and found out that the boy was indeed a fool since he was a child. Everyone in Taohua Village knew it.
"Of course it's me, the miracle doctor. My medical skills are extraordinary." Miraculous Doctor Gong said shamelessly.
The little disciple laughed happily.
"Cheer up, there should be a lot of business coming to our store today... After we make money in Longquan Town, we will go to other prefectures and stay away from this area. If we walk slowly, we will be easily beaten."
"Um."
As a result, the two waited from morning to night.
They have slept for several times, but no one has come to them for medical treatment.
Doctor Gong thought that someone couldn't find the place, so in the afternoon, he asked his little apprentice to go to the door of the inn, put up his miracle doctor flag at the gate, and then went to stand on the street.
Still no one came.
The young apprentice couldn't help it and went out to ask around.
I found someone from Taohua Village who came to the town to buy things.
Asked about the situation.
He quickly returned to the room to reply to Doctor Gong, "Master, it turned out that after the idiot recovered from his illness, he turned his back on us, saying that his illness was almost cured, and that our master's magic pills had little effect on him..."
"Some people in Taohua Village originally wanted to buy the magic pills from us because they had patients at home, but now they have given up the idea..."
"This stupid couple really doesn't know what's good for them!"
"How can someone destroy the bridge after crossing it? He clearly got better after taking the magic pills that Master gave him..."
Very indignant.
Doctor Gong was also a little disappointed.
It turned out that he had been waiting for a whole day, but no one came to see him.
Here's why.
"Okay, stop pretending. There are only you and me in this room, and no one else is here. I'm afraid we won't be able to make any money in Longquan Town. It would be a waste of time if we stay here any longer! Let's go to another place tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll listen to Master."
Every time you go to a place, you have to spend money first.
For example, ask beggars and local tyrants to spread the news about the miracle doctor.
Then, he asked people to pretend to be patients and line up to see Dr. Gong.
Then invite storytellers to go to major teahouses and taverns to tell stories about the people the miracle doctor had saved, including wealthy families, local officials, and even county magistrates.
After a period of hype, the reputation of the miracle doctor basically became known in the area.
When the time comes, we will kill every patient who comes.
The richer a person is, the easier it is to exploit them.
They will just treat the patients indiscriminately as long as they don't kill anyone. Once they have made enough money, they will move to another place and start cheating again.
This is their pattern.
This time in Jixiang Town, the income was not up to their standards.
So, when you pass by Longquan Town, try to earn as much as you can.
After making money, go to another spot and do it again.
As the two were talking, suddenly, the waiter outside called them, "Doctor Gong, someone is looking for you."
The two men cheered up.
Soon, the young apprentice went out and brought someone in.
He is a middle-aged man, and looks somewhat familiar.
After asking, I found out that they were from the Zhou family.
Doctor Gong asked, "But your Zhou Sisha's condition has relapsed? I told you, you need to buy two more magic pills as a backup..."
Zhou Laoer rubbed his hands and his face turned red.
"No, no, my fourth brother is doing very well now. He is not sick anymore."
Doctor Gong hesitated, "Then why did you come?"
Zhou Laoer asked in a low voice, "Divine Doctor, do you have any medicine that can help people give birth to sons? Well, I have two daughters at home..."
I can’t talk about what happened next.
Doctor Gong looked at his young apprentice and saw that there was still business coming to them.
"Of course she is pregnant. The gender of the fetus can be changed. Did you bring your wife? I can show her."
Zhou Laoer said, "No, she can't leave home without a reason. Do we have to show it to her?"
Doctor Gong stroked his white beard and said, "That's not necessary! How about this, my magic pill can also cure this. Many women who took my magic pill were able to give birth to sons. I will leave your Longquan Town tomorrow. You came here by chance today. If you come a step later, it will be too late."
Zhou Laoer said hopefully, "Divine Doctor, my family doesn't have much money and we are poor in the countryside. If I hadn't been forced to this point, I wouldn't have come to you. I just want to ask, can I really give birth to a son after taking the magic pill? Can you give me a guarantee?"
"That must be true!" Doctor Gong said, "Buy two pills and take them back. You eat one and your wife eats one. I guarantee it will work. If you can't give birth to a big fat boy next year, I'll come back to your Longquan Town and you can come to me to return the money."
The young disciple next to him said, "This magic pill can cure all diseases. You can't even imagine the precious medicinal materials added to it. To be honest, the queens in the palace have taken the magic pills prepared by my master and gave birth to dragon sons. Just think about it yourself..."
Zhou Laoer was moved by what he said.
But I am short of money.
