Why did you raise prices again?
Li Dechang blurted it out subconsciously.
"Hehe~" Lin Wanyue smiled, revealing one dimple: "Because I'm a shrewd businessman just like you."
"..." Li Dechang felt ashamed after being scolded and wanted to defend himself. Of course, doing business is all about making money!
However, he quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I didn't come here today to have my fortune told."
"Then what are you doing here?" Lin Wanyue asked, puzzled.
"Hey," Li Dechang pointed to Lin Ziqiu, who was standing like a mushroom in front of his house holding a small umbrella, and said, "Is that little kid your brother?"
"Yes." Lin Wanyue nodded. "What's wrong? Do you feel like he's disturbing your business?"
"No, no! It's such a small place, my family wouldn't be of much use to us... If Young Master Lin wants to stay, he can stay, it's nothing serious," Li Dechang explained.
He dared not offend Lin Wanyue's brother over such a small place.
Lin Wanyue was even more puzzled.
"Well... I've been hearing that little kid talking about being sick every day for the past two days. I wonder if he wants to study medicine and become a doctor? If he wants to become Dr. Wang's apprentice at my shop, I'll help make the connection."
"I'm not bragging, but Doctor Wang is one of the people in my shop, so he'll definitely give me some face. He'll definitely be able to take your brother in. What do you think?"
Li Dechang had a very shrewd plan. He saw that Lin Ziqiu was clever and that as long as he was willing to learn, there would definitely be no problem. The most important thing, of course, was to make money from the Lin family.
Lin Wanyue laughed.
The temperature has dropped sharply these past two days, and many people have caught colds and gotten sick without realizing it. Lin Ziqiu moved a small stool and squatted down right in front of Li Dechang's pharmacy.
However, others could not see Hu Jiuyuan squatting beside him and only thought that the child was talking to himself.
Naturally, people assumed he wanted to study medicine.
No wonder Little Pink Butterfly said that Hu Jiuyuan was a rather eccentric old man. Lin Wanyue had never heard of his teaching methods before.
However, it was quite interesting, and Lin Wanyue did not intend to interfere.
"No need! I appreciate your kindness, but my brother doesn't need anyone to teach him yet. If it's not too much trouble for you, just let him stay there like a little mushroom," Lin Wanyue said with a smile.
"Ah...it's nothing, it's nothing. We have shops across from each other, we're neighbors, it's only right that we help each other out. It's just a small matter, nothing to worry about," Li Dechang quickly said.
If Lin Wanyue disagreed, Li Dechang didn't insist. After all, if he said too much and angered her, he would suffer the consequences.
Since the other party had acted out of kindness and had indeed helped Lin Ziqiu, Lin Wanyue knew what it meant to return a favor, so she took the initiative to say, "In this kind of weather, people are prone to headaches and fevers. Your family should also stock up on more medicines for preventing and reducing fever."
"Of course, everything is prepared," Li Dechang said, but when he saw Lin Wanyue's smiling face, he thought of this little darling's abilities, how accurate her fortune-telling was.
Since he's reminding himself of this, he definitely needs to prepare even more!
“Hmm…” Li Dechang quickly took back his words and said, “I’ll be going out in the next couple of days to buy another car, a large yellow ginseng.”
Lin Wanyue didn't know much about these medicinal herbs and just looked at them with a smile. Li Dechang, as if he had received an imperial edict, quickly said goodbye and ran back to his pharmacy to busy himself with getting the herbs.
People who come to the pharmacy to buy medicine are not necessarily sick; they may also be family members of patients.
Lin Ziqiu sat with Hu Jiuyuan at the entrance of the pharmacy for almost half a month. He was able to not only recognize at a glance who were patients and who were just family members, but he could also guess what diseases these patients had.
"Not bad." Hu Jiuyuan stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly. "Although you're not very talented, you're at least patient. If you follow me and practice diligently, you should be able to make a name for yourself in the martial arts world in a few decades."
"Master, I still have decades to learn? Can you learn faster?" Lin Ziqiu couldn't help but feel discouraged when he heard that it would take decades to learn something useful.
He studied medicine so that he could treat his own family members for free!
Grandma is getting older and older, and the elderly are most prone to illness. If he learns so slowly, how can he treat Grandma's illness?
Hu Jiuyuan had no idea what he was thinking. He only felt that he had just praised the child for his patience, but the child was too eager to succeed, and he was furious.
“If you want to learn quickly, then there is a fast way!” Hu Jiuyuan said, puffing out his beard and glaring.
"What is it? I want to learn!" Lin Ziqiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately pestered Hu Jiuyuan to let him learn.
"Then you can learn acupuncture from me! It's fast and effective." Hu Jiuyuan gritted his teeth, deciding to teach this arrogant brat a lesson.
"Great! Great!" Lin Ziqiu was so excited that he nodded quickly and said, "I want to learn this, this is good!"
Last time, he saw his master, Hu Jiuyuan, use a few silver needles to immobilize Master Cui.
Keep in mind that Master Cui is already a ghost without a physical body, yet Hu Jiuyuan still managed to subdue him completely.
If he learns acupuncture, anyone who dares to bully his family can be dealt with with just a wave of his hand!
They no longer have to worry about anyone bullying their sister or their family.
“You are my apprentice, and if you want to learn, I will definitely teach you. But I have to say this upfront: if you can’t learn acupuncture, I won’t teach you the rest.” Hu Jiuyuan said, setting a trap for his apprentice.
