Chapter 37: Conferred the title of Marquis and appointed Prime Minister
The master and his apprentice have been treating people in the village. Some of them are not sick at all, they just come to be checked.
It was not until evening that the people in the village dispersed.
Huaer has already woken up and is talking to Lin Qian.
Lin Qian took her pulse and found that except for being a little weak, she was in good health. It was obvious that falling into the water before had no effect on her.
"You are in very good health. You don't even need to take medicine. Just drink more ginger soup and lie in bed for a few more days and you will be fine." Lin Qian said.
Huaer nodded and thanked him with a smile.
The master and disciple stayed at Huaer's house for one night. The next day, the snow stopped, and they continued on their journey.
This time, before sunset, the two finally returned to Linjia Village.
As a result, both Lin Qian and Meng Yi were stunned.
I saw that a yard was built on half an acre of land owned by Lin Qian's family behind Wei Jing's family, and it was full of people.
Outside, in the surrounding fields covering several acres, there were many wooden racks, all of which were covered with fine powder.
There were still many men and women in the fields, hanging fine powder on the racks. It seemed that everyone in the village had come.
At this time, a man came out of the newly built yard, saw Lin Qian and Meng Yi at a glance, and immediately ran over.
"Qianqian, Uncle Meng, you are back?" The person who came was Lin Dahu.
Lin Qian immediately grabbed him and asked, "Da Huzi, we've only been away for over a month. When did they build such a large yard here? And why are there so many people here drying their powder?"
Just as Lin Dahu was about to speak, two figures flashed over and pushed Lin Dahu aside.
"Sister, Uncle Meng! You are finally back?"
"Qianqian, why did you guys go out for so long this time?"
The people who came were Lin Shuo and Wei Jing.
"Shuo Shuo, Brother Wei Jing, what's going on?" Lin Qian asked.
Then he looked at Wei Jing again and found that the scar on his face had faded a lot. Now it could be vaguely seen that Wei Jing had grown into a very handsome man.
Seeing that Lin Qian was staring at him, Wei Jing's ears turned red, but he didn't move, letting Lin Qian look at him.
Meng Yi took a sip of wine behind the three of them. When he looked up, he saw Wei Jing's red ears. He immediately raised one eyebrow and smiled faintly without saying a word.
"Brother Wei Jing, the scars on your face have faded a lot. It looks like your face will be completely healed in a few months." Lin Qian said.
"Yes, thank you and Uncle Meng." Wei Jing said with a smile, his eyes flashing with tiny lights as he looked at Lin Qian.
At this time, Lin Shuo interrupted and said, "It's so cold, what are you standing here for? Let's go home and talk slowly."
As he said that, Lin Shuo took Lin Qian in one hand and Meng Yi in the other and went home.
Lin Dahu was ruthlessly left behind by the four people. He wanted to catch up, but after being looked at by Wei Jing, he immediately ran away in shame.
Woohoo! Wei Jing is still so scary.
Lin Shuo walked and said, "Sister, you don't know how popular our fine flour business is. Ever since all the restaurants in the town started using our fine flour, our reputation has spread.
There are many wealthy families in the town, and they all come to our house to buy fine flour.
The news has spread to Fu'an County, and the owner of a big restaurant there has traveled thousands of miles to come to our house to ask for the fine noodles."
After hearing what Lin Shuo said, Lin Qian realized that she had only been away for more than a month, but earth-shaking changes had taken place in her home.
Lin Qian really didn't expect that fine noodles would become so popular, but if this happened, wouldn't her family become rich?
Wei Jing continued, "I roughly calculated that if the whole village worked together, we could produce 8,000 kilograms of fine flour every day, which means we could earn 800 taels of silver every day."
This is really not a small amount.
When I got home, Lin Wu, Zhao Xiu, Zhang Yufang and Lin Changcan were all there.
Now the newly built backyard of Lin Qian’s house has become a place specifically for precipitating starch.
The grinding and pulverizing are now done in the newly built compound.
"Hey! My daughter is back? Why did you take so long? Come here and let daddy see if you have lost weight?" As soon as Lin Wu saw Lin Qian, he immediately ran over screaming and looked his daughter's face up and down.
Zhao Xiu also took two quick steps over and looked at Lin Qian carefully.
Meng Yi followed behind and said with a smile: "I'm not hungry, your daughter, not only did she not lose weight, she even gained several pounds."
Meng Yi was telling the truth. Lin Qian's face had become a lot rounder.
Lin Wu and Zhao Xiu then let go of Lin Qian embarrassedly and said to Meng Yi, "Don't worry, Brother Meng. Qianqian has been with us since she was a child. We are just a little worried."
"I know. Okay, you guys chat. I'm tired after walking all day. I want to go back and rest." Meng Yi smiled and waved his hand, then went back to the room.
"Uncle Meng, the kang in your room hasn't been lit yet. I'll go light it for you." Lin Shuo said, then quickly ran to get some firewood.
Meng Yi responded.
"Qianqian, where have you and your master been these days? Why did you take so long to come back?" Lin Changcan also came over at this time, obviously concerned about Lin Qian, and asked.
Lin Qian told them everything she had seen and heard along the way, which made Lin Wu and the others feel very emotional.
Lin Shuo curled his lips and said, "Next time you go out as a traveling doctor, you must take me with you. I'm good at martial arts. If I were here, maybe I could rescue Huaer faster."
"Oh? Are you questioning my ability?" Lin Qian hooked Lin Shuo's neck, holding his vital point, and asked with a kind face.
Lin Shuo looked at his beloved sister's face so close to him and immediately became timid. "That's not what I meant. I just meant that when you go out to travel, you need someone to serve you tea and water, and to know your feelings, right? I think I'm suitable."
Everyone watched the brother and sister quarreling and covered their mouths with their hands while laughing.
"Well, I think your suggestion is very good. Okay! I'll take you with me next time." Lin Qian patted Lin Shuo's shoulder.
Lin Shuo immediately said yes.
Wei Jing, who was standing by, immediately felt envious when he heard Lin Qian say that she would take Lin Shuo with her next time, and he also wanted to go with her.
But after the New Year, he had to go back to school, so he couldn't go at all.
The others listened to Lin Qian's story for a while before she asked, "The fine flour business is booming now. I just saw that everyone in the village is here, right?"
Lin Wu nodded: "That's right, before, the orders came one by one, and ten people were not enough. The order volume was large, so I called everyone in the village.
Now I have to go around collecting sweet potatoes. If Wei Jing hadn’t helped me with the accounting, I would have been exhausted to death.”
Wei Jing is very good at arithmetic. He doesn't even need an abacus. He can calculate the number immediately when someone tells him, thus saving a lot of time.
Lin Qian looked at Wei Jing and said, "Brother Wei Jing, you are really amazing. You will definitely be able to become a marquis or a prime minister in the future."
Wei Jing suddenly asked, "Do you really want me to be made a marquis and become a prime minister?"
"Of course not. I want to open a big clinic in the future, preferably with branches in various places. If you can be made a marquis or a prime minister, I will have a backer."
Wei Jing's eyes lit up, and then he nodded seriously.
