Chapter 184 The Demon Cult Witch 13

Qingfeng Town is indeed a very peaceful place. After a few days, it was the Lower Yuan Festival.

Unlike many places that only celebrate the Lower Yuan Festival, Qingfeng Town attaches great importance to this festival.

This morning, Ah Xi had breakfast and continued to go to the free clinic.

As a result, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a young man standing outside the door.

The boy was tall and handsome, and his skin was a little dark because of years of living on the river.

He was muttering something with his head down, and he was startled when he saw the door suddenly opened.

A Xi looked at him: "Are you here to see a doctor?"

The boy stuttered, his cheeks flushed suspiciously: "Ah, I..."

"Wait a minute, I'll move the table and chairs to the other side first."

"Let me help you carry them!" The boy finally plucked up the courage and handed the hibiscus hidden behind him to A Xi, "Little doctor, this is for you!"

A Xi was stunned, not knowing how to respond.

"This is the custom of Qingfeng Town. It doesn't matter, just accept the flowers, but don't give anything in return, and I will understand what you mean."

The boy forced the hibiscus into A Xi's hands, carried the table and chairs to their usual positions, and ran away.

When the free clinic was held, A Xi received seven or eight flowers one after another.

The varieties of flowers are not consistent, but it can be seen that they are definitely not wild flowers picked from the road, but carefully selected by the flower sender.

When the elderly people saw the flowers on the table, they all smiled and said, "The one who received the most flowers in our town this year must be you, the young doctor."

Axi finally found an opportunity to ask what this custom is.

In addition to the usual worship of the stove god, Qingfeng Town has also extended a tradition, that is, on this day, unmarried men can give a flower to the woman they love.

If the woman gives a flower in return, it means that the woman accepts the man's feelings.

Otherwise, it means that she has politely rejected the man's feelings.

A Xi said, "But, I don't seem to know those who sent me flowers..."

"But the goodness of the young doctor can be seen even by those who don't know you."

"If the young doctor takes a liking to someone in our town, oh, that would be a blessing for our town."

The people who were waiting in line to see the doctor made a kind of teasing.

A Xi still couldn't figure it out, but it was not easy to explain it too clearly to the people.

When the sun went down, A Xi found a bottle with some water, put all the flowers in it, and then went to talk to Yao Rong.

Yao Rong touched the flowers of different postures and smiled, "Don't have any psychological burden because of the flowers they sent, and don't have any psychological burden because of their likes. Just like people will pursue beautiful things, people will yearn for beautiful people."

Just like that citizen said, the goodness of A Xi can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

Ah Xi smiled and said, "Senior, I feel a little embarrassed by your compliment."

"Why should I be embarrassed? I always speak the truth."

Ah Xi felt that the senior's words made her happier than receiving these flowers.

As the weather got colder, Ah Xi adjusted the time of the free clinic to once every three days.

Without having to see patients every day, Ah Xi had more time to read medical books and do other things.

At noon that day, Yao Rong came back from outside and saw A Xi making medicine: "What medicine are you going to make today?"

A Xi's hands kept moving: "Didn't I tell my seniors before that I would make my own powder to wash my hair and wipe my face? I was busy with the free clinic before and didn't have time to do it. Now it's winter and the weather has become dry, so I want to make it quickly."

It took two days for A Xi to finally make the finished product.

The powder for washing hair was put into a box, and Yao Rong tried to use a small spoonful to wash his hair. The hair care effect is not visible for the time being, but the powder washes very cleanly, and the scalp does not feel dry after washing. In terms of use effect, it is far better than soap beans.

After applying the white ointment evenly, it has a very good moisturizing effect. Moreover, seeing that Axi's skin is still fair despite going into the mountains to collect herbs all year round, it can also be seen that long-term use of this ointment has a whitening effect.

"What do you think, senior?" Axi looked at Yao Rong cautiously and expectantly.

She had developed these things before and wanted to share them with Senior Sister Xie, but Senior Sister Xie was not short of money and did not think that the things she made could be better than the things sold in the store, so she never bothered to use them.

So Yao Rong is the first person in the world to use these things except Axi herself.

Yao Rong gave a fair answer: "I think they are all good, better than many things on the market. If the packaging is a little more beautiful, like this facial ointment, it can at least sell for one or two silver coins a box."

Ah Xi was a little surprised: "Senior, you are not kidding."

As long as the prescription is mastered, this box of ointment is not difficult to make, and the cost of herbs is not high.

If it can be sold for one or two silver coins a box, the profit is really huge.

Yao Rong smiled and said: "Do you think one or two silver coins a box is expensive? If the packaging is more gorgeous, and you do business with those dignitaries, you can at least sell three or two silver coins a box."

Ah Xi's eyes widened.

A hundred-year-old ginseng can only be sold for three hundred taels. According to this price, doesn't it mean that if she makes a hundred boxes of ointment, she can earn a hundred-year-old ginseng?

But after calming down, Ah Xi understood: "If I were to sell this box of ointment, I would definitely not be able to sell it at this price. I may not even be able to sell it at a hundred coins a box."

"Unless I sell the prescription directly and meet someone who knows the goods, I might be able to sell it for a few hundred taels of silver, but forget about getting more."

Yao Rong showed approval, but did not immediately say what he was thinking. He just asked, "You have a treasure mountain in your hands now, what do you think?"

In the past few months, Ah Xi has seen people who could not afford a few hundred coins for medical treatment and could only lie in bed waiting to die; she has also seen brothers quarreling over two or three acres of low-quality land and never speaking to each other again... What

she has seen most is that someone took away four or five boxes of ointment for treating rheumatism in a day, even though they could not use that much in a short period of time, but still wanted to take advantage of it.

Now, she is no longer the little female doctor in Xuyang Sect who is ignorant of the sufferings of the world. She knows the importance of money.

This prescription is just a prescription in her hands, but in the hands of some people who know how to use it, they can earn a steady stream of profits.

After thinking for a moment, Ah Xi asked Yao Rong a question: "Senior, do you have a rouge shop under your name?"

Yao Rong smiled: "Yes, but the scale is not very large."

There is a reason why Juexian Pavilion can exist in the martial arts world for so many years. Juexian Pavilion has shops, land and real estate in many places, and can make a considerable profit every year.

Not only Juexian Pavilion, but all the well-known sects in the martial arts world have more or less set up many industries.

Ah Xi breathed a sigh of relief. If she had, she could have said the following words: "If you are willing, I want to sell all these prescriptions to you."

"What do you want from me?"

"Although I have a good relationship with you, business is business. I want to take half of the profits from the products made with the prescriptions I gave."

Assuming that a box of ointment is priced at one tael, after deducting various costs, the profit can be at least half a tael. If she takes half of the profits, she can get 25 coins.

If the price is three taels, she will get more money.

In this way, she can earn more money than simply selling the prescriptions.

Yao Rong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Is it business to only take half of the profit? If I didn't have the prescription you gave me, I wouldn't make any money."

"No, no, half is enough. If I didn't have your shop, I wouldn't make any money either."

"The profit of the rouge shop is nothing to me. You will have to spend a lot of money to practice medicine in the future, and you will not be able to do it without money. Why don't we split it 50-50?"

Ah Xi didn't know what he thought of. After hesitating for a moment, he agreed to this distribution method: "Anyway, I have taken advantage of you enough, this time doesn't matter."

After Ah Xi finished writing the prescription, Yao Rong sent the prescription back to Juexian Pavilion through a special contact channel.

Not long after, the frequency of pigeons delivering messages gradually changed from once every half a month to once every three days.

On this day, A Xi and Yao Rong planned to go to the city to buy some winter clothes. The cotton clothes they bought before were still too thin.

It was a rare trip to the city. After buying the things they wanted to buy, A Xi and Yao Rong walked around the city and had lunch at a restaurant.

As a result, they heard people at the next table talking about things in the martial arts world.

"What do you think? Was Wen Yi killed by the Xuyang Sect?"

"Didn't the Xuyang Sect deny it? They also said that the Demon Cult framed him on purpose."

"The Xuyang Sect definitely won't admit it."

Another table was discussing: "I heard that after Wen Yi died, the great hero Wen Wu went crazy and attacked the Xuyang Sect."

"If he attacked the Xuyang Sect directly, would the Xuyang Sect let him leave safely?"

"The Xuyang Sect sent people to kill him, but it's not clear whether the great hero Wen Wu managed to escape in the end."

Another table was talking about the destruction of the Wen family: "We don't know whether the great hero Wen Wu is alive or dead, and the Xuyang Sect has already destroyed the entire Wen family on the charge of betraying the righteous path."

"Really? That's the Wen family, how could they be destroyed so quickly? You didn't get fake news, did you?"

"It's absolutely true, I just heard it from someone! Think about it, the Wen family is clearly going against the Xuyang Sect, if the Xuyang Sect doesn't teach the Wen family a lesson, how can it shock other sects in the future!"

...

Yao Rong chose to stay and settle here because it was far away from the world of martial arts, but who knew that the storms of the world of martial arts would blow in and break the tranquility of this place.

Ah Xi was eating the food on the table while listening to these casual chats, not knowing what she was thinking.

On the way back, Yao Rong saw someone selling chestnut cakes on the roadside, so she asked Ah Xi to stay here and wait for her while she went to buy a box of chestnut cakes.

After Yao Rong walked away, A Xi suddenly smelled a faint aroma of wine.

She raised her head and saw a tavern diagonally in front of her.

A Xi had never drunk alcohol, but she had heard that drinking alcohol can make one braver. Thinking of what she was going to do tonight, A Xi walked into the tavern and bought a pot of peach blossom wine.

When A Xi and Yao Rong returned home, it was completely dark.

After a simple dinner, seeing that Yao Rong was about to go back to the house to rest, A Xi hurriedly called Yao Rong: "Senior, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Let's sit in the yard together to drink wine and enjoy the moon."

Yao Rong had long seen that A Xi was worried today. Hearing this, he went to get two cups, opened the box of chestnut cakes, and placed them on the stone table in the yard.

Ah Xi took out peach blossom wine from his pocket, and Yao Rong asked curiously, "When did you buy it?"

Ah Xi was a little embarrassed, and quickly filled Yao Rong's glass: "While senior went to buy chestnut cakes."

Yao Rong laughed and took a sip of the wine.

Ah Xi also filled a glass for himself, took a sip, and found that it tasted good, so he drank a few more sips.

Yao Rong naturally noticed Ah Xi's actions, but the alcohol content of peach blossom wine was not high and it was not easy to get drunk, so she did not say anything to stop Ah Xi.

I don't know if wine can really make people braver. After a glass of wine, Ah Xi finally mustered up the courage and said seriously: "Senior, let's talk."

"Are you sure?"

Seeing Yao Rong's expression so solemn, Ah Xi's mood became a little more relaxed. She smiled and took another sip of wine: "I don't want to delay it any longer."

Yao Rong looked at A Xi deeply for a few times, and finally nodded and said: "Okay. The night is still long. If you are not sleepy, I will tell you about the fencing competition first."
