When it comes to helping with publicity, the first person Liu Wanyun thinks of is her aunt, Mrs. Ma.
Just look at how she runs her shop and you'll know how eloquent she is.
Find her, it will definitely work!
Of course, her aunt would not help her for no reason, so she would have to pay her some compensation.
The next day, Liu Wanyun went to see Mrs. Ma and gave her twenty pages of promotional paper with the store's name and address, as well as the opening discounts, on them. She told her that if any woman came to the store with this list, she would be rewarded with ten cents, regardless of whether she made a purchase or not.
It was just a matter of talking, and of course Mrs. Ma agreed. It cost ten cents per person. Her sweet water was five cents a bowl for ordinary ones, and twenty cents a bowl for the best ones, but few people bought it.
Last time, he stopped Liu Wanyun's carriage, invited her to drink sweet water, and gave her one or two taels of silver, which was the money that the sweet water shop could earn in two or three days.
Now, she is paid to help with publicity. It’s different to marry a rich man. She can earn so much money by doing little work.
Mrs. Ma happily agreed!
"Now that these twenty are gone, will there be new ones?"
Liu Wanyun guessed what she might be thinking, and to prevent her from taking shortcuts, she instructed, "We'll register everyone who comes. If they're trying to fake it, or if they're repeating, there are only twenty of them, and once they're issued, they'll be gone... If they're all genuine, we can continue our cooperation!"
Even though her little trick was seen through, Madam Ma was not annoyed. She laughed and said, "Don't worry, niece. You can't fool anyone but your own family."
After finishing her work, Liu Wanyun went back home to sort out the accounts.
Mrs. Ma was very determined to make money. She distributed all twenty pieces of paper before the end of the morning.
Because the paper said that anyone who entered the store could get a free iced drink, she went to lobby the woman who liked to take advantage of others, and with just a few words, she persuaded her to agree to go to the Jiangnan Teahouse.
After these women arrived, they drank the free drinks, looked around, and most of them left. Occasionally, two of them who were a little free would watch the free show for a while before leaving.
Zhang Xinyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry as she watched all these hurried people coming in just the morning.
Fortunately, however, it also caused a temporary bustle of people coming and going, which attracted a lot of inquiries from passers-by; plus these women all liked to chat and gossip, so after leaving the Jiangnan Teahouse, they chatted with people everywhere about what it was like inside and what the drinks they had drunk tasted like.
It also played a certain publicity role.
After three days of doing this, most people in the west of the city knew about the existence of this teahouse, and a few wealthy, idle and curious women would come in to take a look.
On the other side, when Guan Xiaoyu saw Ruonan, her first impression was that she had become a little darker than before she left.
It seems that there are fewer rules in the countryside and people can go out for a walk when they have nothing to do. No wonder they are reluctant to go back to Puning City.
After staying here for one night, I learned that Ruonan fell ill within two days of coming here. One reason was because she was sad about her relationship, and the other was because she was not used to the local climate.
There were no doctors in the countryside. When people in the village fell ill, they would pick some herbs and boil some water to drink for minor illnesses. If the illness was serious, they would go to the town to invite a doctor.
Ruonan's grandmother was afraid that something might happen to her precious granddaughter, so she wanted to send them back to Puning City for treatment. However, Ruonan didn't want to go back so soon, so she insisted on staying. After two days, she felt she couldn't get better and was about to go back to the Shen family when a traveling doctor came to the village.
The traveling doctor looked quite kind, but he looked young, probably in his early twenties. Ruonan's grandmother felt that he was unreliable, but Ruonan's aunt wanted her niece to stay at home for a few more days. After all, Ruonan came with a lot of money and bought a lot of good things for the family, so she asked the traveling doctor to treat Ruonan.
Unexpectedly, this traveling doctor was young but very skilled. After taking Ruonan's pulse, he described Ruonan's symptoms in detail, then prescribed some herbal medicine. After boiling some water for Ruonan to drink for a day, she felt much more energetic.
This traveling doctor came to this countryside specifically to treat poor families. He charged low consultation fees and used common herbs found in the mountains. The herbal treatment took a long time, at least three to five days. When he came, he examined Ruonan and prescribed medicine. The aunt was afraid that something might go wrong, so she let him live in the woodshed next to the house.
This was the first time that the traveling doctor came to Ruonan’s grandmother’s farm. Many people were skeptical and didn’t believe him very much!
As a result, after curing Ruonan's illness, everyone regarded him as a miracle doctor and asked him to take a look at their family members.
The villagers often put off treating minor ailments for years, and many of them gradually became serious illnesses. Now a doctor came and the medicine was inexpensive, so they asked him to prescribe medicine to treat the illnesses.
The herbs that the traveling doctor brought with him were soon used up, so he had to treat the villagers in the morning and go to the nearby mountains to collect herbs in the afternoon.
The villagers were also very simple-minded. They were afraid that something might happen to the doctor in the mountains, so whenever the doctor treated a patient, that family would send someone to go with him to collect herbs.
The traveling doctor stayed here for a while, and the herbs he collected were hung out to dry in Ruonan's grandmother's yard.
After Ruonan recovered from her illness, she saw the young doctor busy going out early and coming back late every day, so she volunteered to help him dry the herbs.
In their free time, the two would chat for a while. When they learned that they were both from Puning City, they agreed to accompany each other on the way back!
Unexpectedly, this traveling doctor cured many people in this village, and his reputation spread to the neighboring village. People there also came to ask him to see them, so he couldn't leave for a while.
After listening to Ruonan's rambling account of what had happened recently, Guan Xiaoyu asked her, "Are you waiting for him to leave together? Is that why you're holding off on going home?"
Ruonan saw the look in her brother and sister-in-law's eyes and patiently pondered the matter. Knowing they must have misunderstood, she quickly waved her hands, "Don't overthink it. I just thought he was a kind-hearted man, a gentleman, so I helped him dry his medicine. He's been to the next village these days, and there's no one to watch over the medicine he's drying here. I figured I'd go home after I'm done drying it for him!"
Guan Xiaoyu couldn't help but tease her, "Aren't you going to leave with him?"
"Second sister-in-law~"
Ruonan couldn't help blushing.
But they waited for two days and the traveling doctor didn't come back. Shen Laoer couldn't stay any longer and made arrangements to go back.
Seeing Ruonan's somewhat lost expression, Guan Xiaoyu knew that this little girl might be concerned about him again.
However, looking at her character, she forgot about Mr. Zhou so quickly and became enthusiastic about this young and inexperienced doctor. I'm afraid she can't tell whether she is in love with him or is just acting out of impulse and curiosity.
Before getting on the carriage, Ruonan was still looking around, so Guan Xiaoyu had no choice but to step forward and pull her hand, "Let's go! Ruonan, your grandmother will give those herbs to the doctor."
"Oh~"
Ruonan got into the car in a depressed mood, feeling a little regretful that she couldn't say goodbye to the young doctor before leaving.
But just as their carriage had left the village not far, they heard someone shouting behind them.
Ruonan excitedly lifted the car curtain and saw the young doctor standing on the slope at the entrance of the village.
The man put his hands to his mouth and shouted: "Miss Shen——"
