Chen Feng and Wang Guotou arrived at the private room in the teahouse where they had arranged to meet Liu Dashao and the others.
Before long, Liang Caidun and Liu Dashao hurriedly walked in.
Chen Feng quickly stepped forward to greet them, "Brother Liang, Brother Liu, you've finally arrived! Please, please have a seat."
After exchanging pleasantries, the group took their seats.
Liang Caidun asked, "Chen Feng, Brother Wang, what exactly do you want to talk to us about?"
Wang Guotou glanced at Chen Feng and asked bluntly, "Brothers, do you want to leave Qingshui Restaurant?"
“Of course I want to, brother. You don’t know, ever since Lao Liu and I testified for Chen Feng, Wu Shiren has been looking down on us. Now there isn’t even a handyman in the shop. I’m doing handyman work while chopping vegetables.” Liang Caidun immediately stated his position without hesitation.
Liu Dashao sighed helplessly, "Doing some work is nothing, but you don't know, Zhao Tian, Wang Qi and others ostracize us at every turn, they don't treat us like human beings at all. As soon as mealtime is over, Lao Liang and I have to wash dishes and rub the ladles. People who don't know us would think we're just doing odd jobs."
Chen Feng felt that all of this was caused by him and felt very guilty. "If it weren't for me, my two brothers wouldn't have been ostracized. It's all my fault that you two are in trouble."
Liu Dashao gently shook his head. "Brother, this has nothing to do with you. You are also a victim. We are willing to testify for you. It's not your fault."
"Chen Feng, don't blame yourself. Anyone with a conscience wouldn't stand idly by."
Liang Caidun also casually remarked, then looked at Wang Guotou.
"Brother, you just said you left Qingshui Restaurant, did you find a good place to go?"
Liu Dashao also became interested, "Yes, tell us quickly."
Wang Guotou chuckled softly, “Brothers, that Wu Shiren is no human being. Stop working for him. As the saying goes, ‘When three people are of one mind, even barren land can turn into gold.’ As long as we brothers stick together and work side by side, we’re sure to earn a mountain of gold and silver. What do you think?”
Liu Dashao didn't understand what he meant and shook his head repeatedly. "No, no, my family has a lot of people and they all depend on my wages to make a living. If I quit, my family will go hungry."
“Yeah, we don’t even have any capital, how can we do business together? Brother, you’re just dreaming!” Liang Caidun shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Wang Guotou stopped being mysterious and made things clear: "Don't worry about this. Chen Feng has already bought Ruyi Building. As long as you are willing to come and work for Chen Feng, you will definitely not be treated unfairly. The wages you are paid will only be more than you expect."
Both of them were taken aback. Ruyi Tower was even bigger than Qingfeng Restaurant. This kid bought it just like that. They looked at Chen Feng with a bit more consideration.
Chen Feng observed their expressions and said solemnly,
"Brother Liang, Brother Liu, Wu Shiren will pay you three taels of silver a month. If you're willing to work for me, I'll pay you four taels of silver a month, plus a year-end bonus. What do you think?"
After hearing this, the two recovered their senses and their faces lit up with surprise.
"Okay, I'll go."
“I’ll go too.” After saying that, Liu Dashao paused, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, “But it will have to be another half month, otherwise Wu Shiren definitely won’t pay me this month’s wages.”
Liang Caidun nodded in agreement, "Old Liu is right. We can't let Wu Shiren take advantage of us. We can't pay him a penny less than he owes."
Chen Feng smiled and said, "That's right. You have to get something in return for your efforts. We can't let Wu Shiren get away with this. So it's settled then. You can come over at the beginning of next month."
"Okay, let's go back first, otherwise Wu Shiren will give us a hard time again."
After Liu Dashao finished speaking, the two got up to say goodbye.
Chen Feng and Wang Guotou also hurriedly returned to Ruyilou. There were many things to prepare for the opening of the new store, and he had to make thorough preparations.
******
The two rooms reserved for running a pharmacy are not large, totaling only about 60 square meters.
Chen Qingqing planned to use the outer room as a consultation area and a traditional Chinese medicine area, and the inner room as a rest area.
After taking the approximate dimensions, Chen Qingqing went out.
She first went to a carpenter's shop and ordered two consultation tables, a row of traditional Chinese medicine cabinets, and two wooden beds for seriously ill patients to rest temporarily.
The carpenter's shop is very busy and promises to complete the project in a month.
After leaving the carpenter's shop, Chen Qingqing bought two boxes of pastries, hired a horse-drawn carriage, and went straight to Anyang County.
Having been in this era for almost a year, she has learned about its information. Although opening a shop does not require various certificates, it is necessary to report to the county magistrate.
The carriage moved at great speed, arriving in Anyang County in less than half an hour.
The guards at the gate had a strong impression of Chen Qingqing, and looked at her warily, their hearts filled with vigilance.
A few days ago, this girl came to file a lawsuit, and surprisingly, she won the case.
After she left, Qin Shousheng flew into a rage, scaring the servants so much that they dared not utter a sound, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.
"Young man, I've come to the county government office to take care of some business. Is your county magistrate here?"
"Yes, no...no, not here." The constable nodded first, then shook his head. This girl was formidable. If she filed another lawsuit, he would be in deep trouble if the county magistrate and the county assistant magistrate blamed him.
"Is he here or not?" Chen Qingqing asked, taking out a string of copper coins from her bag and stuffing them into the constable's hand.
The constable's eyes lit up; this string of coins was worth forty or fifty coins, enough for him to drink several jugs of wine.
"Young lady, our magistrate is receiving guests in the back office. What business do you need? Would you mind telling me?"
"I want to open a pharmacy and I'd like to report it to the county magistrate," Chen Qingqing said truthfully.
The constable breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as it's not a lawsuit or complaint, everything is fine. This way, please."
We arrived at the rear office.
Chen Qingqing immediately spotted County Magistrate Qin Shousheng and County Assistant Shen Yuanze, but to her surprise, Fan Tong and his son were also there.
The constable reported, "Sir, this young lady is planning to open a pharmacy and has come to register. I've brought her in for you."
Qin Shousheng lazily raised his eyes, and upon seeing Chen Qingqing, he immediately perked up.
The first lawsuit ended in a loss for Wu Shih-ren, contrary to his wishes. He was initially resentful, but upon seeing her report about opening a pharmacy, he couldn't help but find it hard to believe.
"You said you know medicine?"
Chen Qingqing gave a slight bow and was about to reply when Fan Hun, as if he had discovered a new continent, jumped up from his chair with a 'whoosh'.
"Oh my god, isn't this Miss Chen? I almost didn't recognize her. She's gotten even more beautiful than I've seen her in the past six months."
Fan Tong recognized Chen Qingqing and hurriedly said to Qin Shousheng, "Lord Qin, this girl is the miracle doctor I told you about who cured my difficult illness. Her medical skills are extraordinary, truly divine. Especially her silver needles, they make your whole body feel good and comfortable."
