Qibao said, "My master taught me. I've been learning these past two days and have already made hundreds of them. My family has been spending a lot of money these days, so I want to make some extra money."
The old man held Qibao in his arms, patted Qibao's head, and said, "Qibao, thank you for your hard work. If it weren't for you, Grandpa wouldn't be able to live such a good life!"
Qibao quickly said, "Grandpa, you're saying that again! I'm your granddaughter, and it's my duty to let you live a good life! If you say something like that again next time, I'll ignore you!"
The old man smiled and said, "Okay, Grandpa won't say anything more. Grandpa must enjoy the blessing of Qibao!"
Qibao then laughed and said, "Then I'll go to town with my brother and the others tomorrow to see what price this pill can be sold for!"
The old man said, "Then grandpa will go with you. The pills made by our Qibao will definitely be effective. Grandpa has great confidence in you!" Qibao giggled.
As soon as Wang and the others entered the main hall, they heard the grandfather and grandson laughing. They said, "What are you two talking about? Your teeth are bared behind your ears!"
The old man said, "Qibao and I are talking about something very good. Do you want to know?"
Wang laughed and said, "You old fool, you can talk or not, I won't listen!"
The old man raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? You really don't want to listen? This matter is related to Qibao, so just forget it if you don't want to listen." After saying that, he was about to leave while holding Qibao's fortune!
Wang stepped forward, grabbed the old man's arm, and said, "You old man know that I'm concerned about Qibao, but you're still deliberately making trouble. If you don't tell me, I'll ask Qibao myself."
Qibao giggled, thinking that Grandpa was obviously a little afraid of Grandma, but he was deliberately teasing her. He found it funny and said, "Grandma, I was just talking to Grandpa about making money!"
Wang asked, "Make money? What kind of money?"
The old man continued, "Anyway, our family has a new business, and we're probably going to make some money again!"
Wang was delighted and said, "What business? Grandma will help you, Qibao, just give the instructions!" The family expenses have been quite high these days, and Wang felt a little sorry for the money, but she knew the difference between big and small, and she would never be vague when it came to paying the money.
The old man said, "I'm afraid you can't help me with this. You don't even know the herbs. Qibao's master taught Qibao to make a lot of pills that can heal injuries and relieve pain. I heard they're very effective. Qibao plans to take them to Leshan Pharmacy to sell!"
Wang was a little surprised when she heard this and said, "Qibao can make pills? Wouldn't it be very tiring to do this? If you are tired, don't do it. Grandma and your aunt can't help. I can't let my precious child get too tired!"
Qibao said, "Grandma, it's not tiring at all. I just need to put the herbs in and watch the heat. It won't take much. Don't worry, I have my master to help me!"
After hearing what Qibao said, Wang said nothing more.
At noon, Uncle Xu and the village chief came back together. Uncle Xu hadn't even sat down when he said, "Dad, the matter has been settled.
All the materials can be brought over, and we can start construction tomorrow!"
The old man nodded and said, "Today, the young and strong laborers from the neighboring village who heard the news came to the village chief to confirm the news. Since you are not here, I have already made it clear to them. They will come to work tomorrow."
The village chief asked with a smile: "How many people have come? Is it enough?"
The old man said, "Quite a few have come. I estimate that there will be more people coming to work tomorrow than today. Village chief, please register their names. From now on, their work will be handed over to you. I'll let the second son follow behind you and help you!"
The village chief said, "Okay, brother, don't worry, I'll take care of it!"
When it was lunchtime, the village chief was about to leave and go home, but the old man tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Village chief, why don't you have lunch at my house? It'll just be an extra pair of chopsticks!"
The village chief shook his head and refused: "Brother, no need, I have already told my family that I will go back for lunch at noon. I won't stay, I'm going back first!"
The old man stopped persuading and sent the village chief out the door before turning back to the main hall.

The next day, Qibao got up with his brothers, put all the prepared pills into bottles, had breakfast, and got on the carriage with his brothers. The old man followed behind.
After arriving in the town, I said goodbye to my brothers and got off the carriage with the old man and headed towards Leshan Pharmacy!
As they entered, the waiter recognized the two of them and greeted them with a smile, "So it's you, are you here to get some medicine?"
The old man also smiled and replied: "Young man, I'm here to see Shopkeeper Hong today. Is he in the pharmacy?"
The clerk said, "Yes, yes, I'll go and inform the shopkeeper right away. Please wait a moment!"
He ran into the backyard and saw Shopkeeper Hong sitting there sipping tea and reading a book. He said, "Shopkeeper, the family who sold ginseng to me last time is here and wants to see you. They're waiting for you in the hall now!"
Manager Hong's hand trembled and the tea almost spilled out. He said, "Lead the way, I'll go out and take a look!" He thought to himself, this was what the master told him before he left. He must take good care of this little girl. His master rarely took things to heart, but now he cares so much about a little girl. This proves that this girl has a special place in the master's heart, and he can't treat her lightly.
Seeing the grandfather and grandson from afar, Shopkeeper Hong greeted them with a smile and said, "Why are you here today, old man? Is there something wrong? And you, little girl, you've gained a lot of weight in a while!"
Qibao's face twitched. It wasn't just one person who said she was fat, Fifth Brother also said so. Could it be that she really was fat? No, she had to lose weight.
The old man also smiled and replied: "I came here today to ask Shopkeeper Hong about something. I wonder if Shopkeeper Hong is free?"
Shopkeeper Hong said with a smile, "If the old man is looking for me, there's no reason why I won't be available. I'm bored too, how about we move to the backyard and talk?"
The old man said, "Okay, no problem."
Seeing the old man agreed, he said to the clerk next to him: "Watch the store carefully, and let me know if anything happens!"
The clerk replied, "Yes," feeling somewhat puzzled. He had never seen the shopkeeper so welcoming before. Even if this family had sold ginseng to their shop, the shopkeeper shouldn't have been so polite, right? He couldn't figure it out, so he gave up thinking about it. It was more important to focus on his own business.
The three of them sat down in the backyard. Manager Hong personally brought two cups of tea and placed them in front of the grandfather and grandson, saying, "What did the old man want to talk to me about today?"
The old man said, "To be honest, we have a kind of pills that can treat internal injuries and relieve pain. I want to bring it to the shopkeeper to take a look."
Shopkeeper Hong was surprised and said, "Oh? You have this kind of pill at home, and we also have it in our pharmacy. If the effect is similar, then I will accept it!"
Qibao said, "Then Grandpa Hong, let's take it out and show it to you, and you'll understand."
The old man opened the bag, took out a bottle of pills and said, "This is it. Manager Hong, please take a look and see if I can sell it to your pharmacy!"
