Chapter 136 Preparing for the funeral?
This made Doctor Tong laugh again.
The atmosphere relaxed and was not as serious as before.
"When do you plan to open? Have you arranged the source of common medicines?"
Jiang Lianzhu rubbed her hands. "The date hasn't been set yet. We collected all the herbs ourselves in the mountains. There aren't many varieties, and the quantity isn't large. I was planning to ask the old man about the channels for getting the herbs. My husband and I are both from the countryside, and we don't know the ins and outs here..."
I hope the old gentleman can guide us. We don't plan to focus on selling medicine. I plan to focus on diagnosing illnesses. We don't plan to buy a lot of herbs. We just need some common and cheap ones as a backup. If there are complicated herbs, I will prescribe a prescription and let people come to buy them from the old gentleman.
Jiang Lianzhu's words stunned the Jinxi waiter next to her.
There is no special pharmacy in Shili Town. Their Shili Medical Clinic both treats patients and sells medicine. In most cases, selling medicine is the main business.
But, it is a clinic after all, and it is in the same industry as Jiang Lianzhu's Jiang's Clinic. How dare Jiang prescribe medicine and let patients come to their house to buy medicine?
What if they don't want Jiang's Clinic to continue operating? Wouldn't it be easy for them to tamper with the medicinal materials?
Don’t you understand the market?
Or do you truly trust them?
Is this woman crazy? Or does she have other intentions?
Doctor Tong said, "Stockpiling medicinal herbs requires a lot of capital. You don't really need to stockpile too many herbs when you open a new shop. The sources of herbs you buy from can tell you that herbs generally need to be reserved in advance. If you're in a hurry to open, you can get some from me."
"Thank you so much, old man."
Nanbao is a little repetitive robot. He said naively, "Thank you, Grandpa."
The problem was solved so easily.
Jiang Lianzhu asked some basic and common questions about opening a clinic, and Dr. Tong answered them one by one.
Finally, Jiang Lianzhu was sent away.
After Jiang Lianzhu and her daughter left, the waiter Jinxi complained, "Master, you're so easy to talk to. She just brought a few boxes of cakes and you were sold out."
Doctor Tong smiled and said, "Her medical skills are decent. She is familiar with herbs and prescriptions. It depends on her practical ability. I am old and my energy is not as good as before. It would be a good idea to open another clinic in town. As for you guys, I have taught you for so many years, but you don't have much talent for medicine. You are good at dispensing and identifying medicines, but you are not good at treating patients. When I am gone in the future, the clinic will at most become a pharmacy."
Jinxi was also a little annoyed at himself for not living up to his expectations.
"I can't even learn well, how can a village girl like her learn well? Master, you think too highly of her."
Doctor Tong said, "It's true that we can't say for sure. We have to see her future behavior. But she should have a good character."
Over the years, I have dealt with many people.
The old doctor has some ability to read people's expressions. This Mrs. Jiang doesn't seem to be a crooked person, and her well-educated child is also cute.
The fact that he can come to their Shili Medical Clinic today shows that he is a person who cherishes the old times.
Just watch it first.

In the dark of the alley.
"Mr. Qian, what should we do? This Jiang family is too arrogant. They actually turned your restaurant into a clinic. A clinic is so unlucky. Patients will die. If they take the patients back in the future and open a restaurant again, will anyone come to eat there? Won't it affect business?" A lackey said angrily.
Another lackey said, "Master Qian, we can't let them open their business. On the opening day, let's find some more brothers and go smash her place and see how she runs her clinic!"
Qian Guanxi turned around and scolded him, "Do you have a brain? Have you forgotten that this woman has martial arts skills? Last time, the Axe Gang was no match for a village girl like her. Now, her husband is back. Didn't you see that bachelor? He's tall, strong and powerful. You can tell at a glance that he's not someone to be trifled with. He's a great escort. How many brothers do we need to call to fight those two?"
The lackey was sprayed in the face.
He quickly smiled and said, "Yes, yes, if we can't win head-on, we have to play dirty."
Qian Guanxi continued, "Even if I find some thugs to cause trouble, what's the point of making trouble for one or two days? They'll open it on the third day. Besides, if she reports it to the police, I'll have to go to jail again and get beaten with a stick."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Qian, you've thought it through. Tell me, what should we do? We can't just sit there and watch her turn your restaurant into an unlucky clinic, can we?"
Qian Guanxi smiled sinisterly, "I've already thought of an idea. You guys go find a consumptive patient, the kind that's dying and incurable. If we don't have one in our town, we can look for one in a nearby town!"
"Mr. Qian, what are you doing? I understand! Hehe..." The two lackeys immediately understood.
One of the lackeys said, "I know someone. The guy named Shi who lives in the alley behind our house has suddenly fallen seriously ill these days. They say it's an infectious disease he brought back from outside. His whole body is festering and oozing with pus. He's unconscious and dying. His sister cries every day. Doctor Tong visited them once and told them to prepare for his funeral..."
Qian Guanxi's brows lit up. "Preparing for the funeral? Or an infectious disease? That's even better! It's him!"

With the help of Shili Medical Clinic, Jiang Lianzhu quickly chose an auspicious day with clear and cool autumn weather.
Jiang's Medical Clinic officially opened.
On the opening day, the entrance of Jiang's Medical Clinic was bustling with activity.
The head of Wangjia Village drove a bullock cart early in the morning. The cart was full of villagers from Wangjia Village, carrying various homemade gifts, to congratulate Jiang Lianzhu and her clinic on its new opening.
The entrance was filled with flower baskets, most of which were sent by Lin's Dim Sum Shop, but some were sent by other neighbors, including Shili Medical Clinic, Bai's Silversmith Shop, Wuhu Restaurant, Wangjia Village, and even the town's government office.
The sound of firecrackers never stopped.
Jiang Lianzhu opened its business today and held a three-day free medical consultation event. Many people came to celebrate, and even more came to watch the fun.
There was a lot of discussion.
"Can she really treat illnesses? How can a village woman learn how to treat illnesses?"
"Hehe, I believe she can make autumn pear paste, but I don't believe her for medical treatment!"
"She's providing free medical treatment. Come see her for three days, and she'll pay no money. If anyone in your family has a headache or a fever, bring them here right away. It's free..."
"Tsk, they say they're waiving the consultation fee, but they don't say they're waiving the medication. What if they prescribe you some incredibly expensive medicine and it doesn't work? Wouldn't that be a loss? Your mother seems to be ill from overwork. Why don't you send her to see a doctor?"
…
It was just a matter of pushing and shoving, but everyone was just watching and no one dared to come forward to let Jiang Lianzhu really see the doctor.
This is not a problem for Uncle Zheng from Wangjia Village.
He winked at the people in their Wangjia Village, and everyone immediately understood.
