At the end of May, the weather became warmer in Ren County. ¡×¨J
As the last wounded soldier left the Yonghe Hall on East Street, the emergency mission came to an end, and even the people in the Seven Medicine Halls breathed a sigh of relief.
Since these wounded soldiers entered Ren County, things have not been normal in the county. People in the Seven Medicine Halls all shouted "suffer", and it was said that everyone lost several kilograms of meat.
¡®Yonghetang¡¯ will also be closed for the day, so Zhang Weidong and the people around him need to have a good rest. However, unlike the Seven Great Medicine Halls, which are called "suffering" and do not make money, Xu Qing, as the "Mrs. Zhang" who manages the entire family, is in a good mood, because "Yonghetang" has opened successfully and made a lot of money.
With Zhang Weidong¡¯s consent, Xu Qing announced that everyone would have extra rewards this month. Therefore, Zhao Erbao and others were in a good mood. Although everyone chooses to work in the ¡®Zhang Mansion¡¯, everyone who contributes will receive monthly money at the beginning of the month. It¡¯s just that ¡®Zhang¡¯s Mansion¡¯ is not big, so everyone is still stirring in the same pot for the time being.
?¡
In the afternoon, in the large courtyard with bluestone slabs.
After seeing off the wounded soldiers, having lunch, and taking a hot bath, Zhang Weidong and others relaxed in the yard, like a family.
Rattan chairs, deck chairs, square high tables, porcelain plates of desserts, and porcelain pots of good tea.
Beside, a group of children such as Goudan and Xiao Yueyue were having fun playing nearby. The yard was full of childlike interest and joy. For more than half a month, because several rooms were vacated to temporarily accommodate wounded soldiers, no one was allowed to make loud noises, and the children were also under great restraint.
As soon as the wounded soldiers left, the yard became lively again.
At this moment, Zhang Weidong was taking the pulse of Zhao Tiedan¡¯s mother, ¡®Zhao Lishi¡¯. After checking his eyes again, he nodded slightly. Although Zhao's mother is blind. But he often takes care of the children and gets along well with them. You can see it. Mother Zhao loves her children very much, and they also like her.
After more than half a month of careful treatment and medication, Zhao¡¯s mother¡¯s blindness symptoms have been greatly alleviated. She can now see blurry lights and figures, and there is hope that she will regain her sight.
Everyone also truly understood Zhang Weidong¡¯s ability to rejuvenate.
¡°In more than half a month, there were nearly 500 wounded soldiers. ¡®Yonghetang¡¯ accounted for almost one-third, and the remaining seven medicine halls took care of two-thirds. At the same time, ¡®Yonghetang¡¯ also created a miracle. No one died. The diagnosis was extremely accurate, the medication was miraculous, and the wounded soldiers recovered faster, which made "Yonghetang" famous in one fell swoop. Zhang Weidong also became famous in one fell swoop, officially squeezed into Ren County and became the eighth medicine hall.
In this regard, Qijia Medicine Hall can only hold its nose and accept it.
Because ¡®Yonghetang¡¯ has established a relationship with Hu Qiying, it has won the favor of everyone in Hu Qiying. At that banquet at the Fengxiao Tower, General Hu Qiying came forward. He entertained everyone at the banquet, but he was more enthusiastic about Zhang Weidong. This is his attitude.
Since then, Qijia Medicine Hall has known about it. The foothold of ¡®Yonghetang¡¯ is unstoppable. Fortunately, I got a promise from Zhang Weidong that the rule of 'Yonghetang''s consultation fee of 1 silver coin remains the same. The medication will not be common medicines, but more expensive exotic medicines. Only go to the high-end market. In this way, there is competition with Qijia Pharmacy, but it is not a comprehensive competition. At the same time, the time that 'Yonghetang' entered Ren County was too short, and it did not pose a great threat to the Qijia.
With the conciliation of General Hu Qiying intentionally or unintentionally, ¡®Yonghetang¡¯ was reluctantly accepted by Qijia Medicine Hall.
"How is it?" Seeing Zhang Weidong complete the diagnosis, Xu Qing couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Erbao and others also looked at him eagerly.
Zhang Weidong smiled and said: "The recovery is very fast. I will adjust the medication again. In half a month, I will be able to walk independently. In another three months, my vision should be back to the level of normal people."
"That's great!" Xu Qing said happily, grabbing Mother Zhao's hand and feeling very happy for her.
"Brother Zhang¡ª¡ª" Zhao Tiedan was a big man, with red eyes.
"I would like to thank Mr. Zhang. I didn't expect that there would be a day where we can see him again -" Mother Zhao was also excited and choked with sobs.
Having been blind for several years, I thought it would be difficult to see the outside world again in this life, but I didn¡¯t expect that I could recover. But she still remembered that her son was not married yet, and she had not given birth to a grandson. However, although Zhao's mother is illiterate, she has a lot of experience. She is not an ordinary village woman. She speaks very grandly, which can be seen in ordinary times.
Zhang Weidong said: "Aunt Zhao, just call me Xiao Zhang, or Doctor Zhang. Brother Tiedan trusts me and is willing to follow me. Naturally, I can't let the people around me down!"
"Tiedan, follow Dr. Zhang well, practice martial arts diligently, run errands diligently, and never forget your roots!" Zhao's mother immediately demanded of her son.
"Mom, I know!" Zhao Tiedan said loudly.
"I'm serious, I'm serious. As long as you don't let me down, I, Zhang Weidong, will also work for you."What a way out! "Zhang Weidong said seriously.
This is a promise, very formal.
Zhang Weidong is buying people's hearts for the sake of protecting himself in the future. Zhao Erbao, Zhao Tiedan, Zhao Gongjian and his son were all considered to be his first available people.
As expected, everyone was a little excited and looking forward to the future.
Why did you jump out of Zhaocun and follow Zhang Weidong? To live a good life!
Although everyone has enough food and clothing, they still don¡¯t have a home, and the road is unstable, so they don¡¯t feel safe. Even if they chatted, they often talked about the border war. Obviously, the Qingguo defenders had so many casualties and injuries, and the situation was very bad. Although the news is blocked from top to bottom, one or two things can be inferred. Maybe one day Ren County will no longer be able to be saved.
When everyone talked about it, they also looked worried.
In this regard, Zhang Weidong has no choice but to comfort everyone and think on the bright side. But in his heart, he was also thinking about this matter.
?¡
It was getting dark, and it was dinner time. The children were tired from playing, but they were still unwilling to enter the house.
In the past half month, due to the constant number of wounded soldiers, private schools can only hold classes in the morning and no classes in the afternoon. After having fun this day, classes will resume in the morning and afternoon tomorrow.
After dinner, it was already dark, and everyone went back to their rooms.
Zhang Weidong and Xu Qing live in the same room and no longer separate rooms. After the meal, Xu Qing prepared hot water, and the big tub was already steaming. During this time. Almost every day before going to bed, Zhang Weidong takes a bath to relieve his fatigue. It's so tiring. He was very tired even with his physical strength. Sometimes he fell asleep while soaking, which made Xu Qing feel very distressed.
After the hot water is ready. Zhang Weidong stripped naked and entered the big wooden barrel, not avoiding anything.
Xu Qing glanced at his body, his face flashed with two red clouds, and he said coquettishly: "Don't be ashamed!"
"It's so comfortable! Let's play in the water together?" Zhang Weidong said with a laugh.
Xu Qing gave him a blank look, continued to boil water, and said, "What a beautiful idea!"
Although the two of them share the same bed, they are already an old couple. But Xu Qing was still shy and unbearable when faced with Zhang Weidong's teasing. This guy is just a bad guy.
"Well, I'm finally done with the work. It's hard to make money. By the way, Xiaoqing, how much have we gained?" Zhang Weidong leaned on the barrel, only his head exposed, his arms stirred, and the water made a splashing sound.
Xu Qing takes care of the family's property and management.
Zhang Weidong knew that he had made a lot of money this time. But I don¡¯t know the specific situation.
Xu Qing sat down aside, straightened the hair hanging down by his ears, and said with an expression of admiration: "There are still a lot of medicinal materials left. I probably also earned about 10 gold coins. By the way, Brother Zhang, you told me to pay attention. Precious medicinal materials. There are three century-old yellow ginseng, two violet grass, and three elm ear ganoderma. At present, our family has about 70 gold coins available¡ª¡ª"
Not to mention medicinal materials, 70 gold coins is enough to make a fortune.
If you leave this in Ren County, I'm afraid you'll end up in a high-class family. However, Zhang Weidong did not plan to buy property in Ren County, and the money had other uses, which was not too much after thinking about it.
This time, we unexpectedly received the task of treating wounded soldiers. ¡®Yonghetang¡¯ promised to waive the consultation fee and only charge the ¡®cost price¡¯ of medicines, which seemed to be unprofitable. But in fact, Zhang Weidong's diagnosis was extremely accurate and the medicine was miraculous. None of the wounded soldiers died, and they recovered faster and better. Most of the wounded soldiers returned to the front line, much to the surprise of the other side.
They thought that the medicine of Yonghetang used expensive medicinal materials, and the efficacy of the medicine was amazing, beyond imagination, so they were grateful to Yonghetang.
¡°As everyone knows, Zhang Weidong not only made a lot of gold coins, but also harvested a large amount of medicinal materials for his own benefit, including eight expensive medicinal plants. Eight expensive medicinal plants are extremely rare. Each plant is worth 1 gold coin, and there is no market for it. Presumably, the medicine hall that was forced to take out its treasured medicinal materials hated Yonghetang to death.
?¡
Zhang Weidong has already planned to use eight expensive medicinal plants to refine medicine. When the time comes, they will be used to help everyone refine their bodies. It is too early to use them now, so they are stored first.
The vitality on this planet is so thin that it can be ignored. It is too difficult for warriors to break through by tempering their bodies with only personal perseverance. Unless external force is used to stimulate potential, such as ice, fire, water, etc., medicinal bath is the easiest and safest. Zhang Weidong is best at using medicine.
Zhang Weidong once discussed warriors with Zheng Xianwei. It is said that warriors in the martial arts world are divided into low-class, third-class, second-class and first-class warriors. This is what Zheng County Wei Dao heard from hearsay. If divided according to this, there may be only two third-rate warriors in the entire Ren County.
Jiang Chao, the helmsman of Ren County Branch of the Tiger Gang, and Li Kuangfeng, the assistant of the Kuangfeng Gang of the local gang. As for Zheng County Lieutenant?Kuai Toutou can only be considered a low-level warrior. Fortunately, there was Hu Qiying guarding Ren County, otherwise these two suspected third-rate warriors would have overwhelmed the county government.
According to Zhang Weidong's prediction, Xu Qing and others each used five sets of refining medicine to refine their bodies. Within half a year, their physiques would greatly improve, comparable to the world's first-class warriors. As for experience, training can make up for it. It's just a pity that the current precious medicinal materials are still short of more than half, which is not enough.
?¡
"It's okay. I'll buy more good medicinal materials when I have the opportunity. I still need to use the money." Zhang Weidong nodded and said.
Extremely precious medicinal materials have good effects, but the price is also very high.
Just like the above three expensive medicinal materials, once the medicine is prepared and used on Xu Qing and the other seven people, it will probably cost dozens to a hundred gold coins. However, in Ren County, it is still unknown whether the medicinal materials can be prepared, and Zhang Weidong still has to find substitutes for some medicinal materials.
"Brother Zhang, do you still need to buy medicinal materials? Yonghetang's medicinal materials are not enough?" Xu Qing said in surprise, while calculating how much money this would cost.
Zhang Weidong smiled and explained: "We have enough in Yonghe Hall for the time being, and there are not so many wounded soldiers every month. I plan to refine medicine and body-refining liquid, mainly for the seven of you. This The medicinal materials required for a medicinal solution are very precious and difficult to collect. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not easy to obtain them in Ren County. It depends on whether they can be purchased from passing merchants¡ª¡ª¡±
Xu Qingrou was worried about the money before he entered the door. When he was about to go out, he asked: "Is it very precious? Can't it be cheaper?"
"Yes, it is very precious. Basically, the hundred-year-old yellow ginseng, violet grass, and elm fungus ganoderma can be used, but there is still a lot missing, and these medicinal materials are cheap and not good, so we can't save them!"
"That's too expensive!" After saying that, Xu Qing stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.
Zhang Weidong chuckled and said: "It's a bit expensive, but it's worth it. One set of medicinal solution is estimated to be worth one or two gold coins just for the medicinal ingredients. But if everything goes well, each of you will soak in five sets of medicinal solution for five months. Your physique will be greatly improved, and it will definitely be no problem to reach the physique of a first-class warrior in the world."
"You can become a first-class warrior by soaking it in medicinal liquid five times?!"
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up. When I was a teenager, I always dreamed of martial arts. Unfortunately, the reality is cruel. It is not easy to achieve a first-class martial artist. The inheritance of skills is a big problem and it is difficult to obtain.
"It's not about being a first-rate warrior, but about a first-rate warrior's physique. If you want to be comparable to a first-rate warrior, you need a lot of training!" Zhang Weidong said.
Xu Qing said happily: "That's enough. It's hard to improve your physique, right? It's easy to make up for it with practice!"
"Yes, that's the truth!"
"A first-class warrior has more combat experience and experience in the world, but these can all be honed. It is not easy to improve your physical fitness.
In order to make the people around him become first-class warriors, Zhang Weidong planned to spend a lot of money to train them.
After taking a bath, the two got on the kang, but Xu Nuxia was too excited to do anything, so Zhang Weidong had to coax her to sleep.
?¡
Early the next morning, there was a noise in the courtyard of the small farm. The adults all got up, feeding the horses, doing morning exercises, and having breakfast.
After the private school teacher came to the door, Xiao Yueyue, Goudan and other little kids were lifted out of the hot quilt. Goudan was unwilling to get up, so he was beaten severely by his father and entered the school crying. Xiao Yueyue became much more well-behaved, and Zhang Weidong held her hand and sent her to the school, even though the school was in the courtyard.
Zhang Weidong ate at the ¡®Laogao Wonton¡¯ stall as usual, then returned to ¡®Yonghetang¡¯ and opened for business.
"Yonghetang" has been cleaned inside and outside, and water has been sprinkled. This is all the work of Zhao Gongjian.
However, as before, no patients came to the hospital. If it were the Seventh Medicine Hall, there would be patients waiting early in the morning.
So, Zhang Weidong entered the back hall and started preparing medicinal materials again. There are a large number of sacks piled up in the back hall, and the medicinal materials inside must be carefully prepared. Otherwise, if they are left for a long time, a lot of their efficacy will be lost.
¡°Sir, Madam and Lan Lan just took to the street¡ª¡ª¡± Zhao Gongjian raised his voice.
