In June in Ren County, the climate is dry. There was no rain last month, and the weather is heating up quickly. Thick cotton robes can no longer be worn. People put on thin robes and skirts, and a cool breeze blows on the streets. wind.
The people of ¡®Yonghetang¡¯ are no exception.
The day before, the brand new satin clothes were finally made and distributed.
Early in the morning, a group of children such as Xiao Yueyue and Goudan happily put on new clothes made of silk and satin. They were neatly and beautifully dressed and happily went to class and played. However, they were very careful to prevent the new clothes from getting dirty. . The women also put on colorful satin dresses, looking like noble ladies. Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao also received a set as a gift. They felt uncomfortable wearing it at first and couldn't walk in the yard, but they got used to it after a while.
"But Zhao Lanlan said: "The second aunt is more beautiful."
These words made Xu Qing very happy and praised Zhao Lanlan. Women always like themselves to be more beautiful and younger, and they like the compliments of others. Xu Qing put on a dark red floral dress, which was close to the body, tied around the waist, and the skirt trailed like fluffy flowers. She wore beads and jade hairpins on her head, a snow pearl necklace on her snow-white jade neck, and a pair of snow-white With matching pearl earrings and long hair shawl, she is as beautiful as a flower.
She was originally a lady from a noble family and had a distinguished temperament, but now she is worthy of her name.
Even Zhang Weidong was stunned when he saw her image.
However, Zhang Weidong is not bad either. He was forced by Xu Qing to change his image. He wore a satin brown robe with gold patterns, a black dome hat to tie his hair, a pair of white cuffs to show his purity, and a sachet tied around his waist, which was made by Xu Qing himself. Sewn, with some mosquito-repellent herbs inside.
Zhao Gongjian complimented: "Master should have dressed up like this a long time ago. He has momentum and status. He is as rich as a landlord or a member of the Communist Party of China!"
Zhang Weidong said angrily: "Master, am I that old? This is called suave!"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Zhao Erbao and several other illiterate people listened with blank eyes. What does it mean?
This reaction made Zhang Weidong unhappy, and he showed little interest in explaining, so he went to the medicine hall after breakfast. Therefore, Zhao Erbao and others did not get the treatment of folding new satin clothes. Of course, this is a joke. Xu Qing didn't intend for everyone to have one, but everyone was very happy.
After breakfast, a table was set up in the yard, with a piece of dark satin placed on it. I don¡¯t know what it meant.
Mrs. Zhang took her seat. Then he took out the account book and opened it. The details of the income and expenditure were written down one by one. Everyone was illiterate, but they also knew that this was a monthly payment. The finances of the Zhang family are controlled by Xu Qing. Zhang Weidong does not care about this and is not in the yard.
Zhao Erbao, Zhao Tiedan, Zhao Gongjian, Zhao Falcon, Zhao Houndou, and Mr. Zhao from the private school are all here, while Zhao's mother, Zhao Shi, and Zhao Lanlan are watching the fun.
"It has been less than a month since the Zhang family moved to Ren County, but the master agreed that everyone should be paid the monthly payment for the full term!" Xu Qing took on the airs of his wife. An explanation was given first.
No one has any opinions, which is a good thing
"Zhao Erbao, monthly salary is 2 silver coins, because there were many wounded soldiers last month. It is a special month, and there will be an additional reward of 2 silver coins, totaling 4 silver coins. Brother Zhao, come and get the money!" Xu Qing said while looking at the account book.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. But is this too much?" Zhao Erbao scratched his head. He said hesitantly. Now their family's food and accommodation are free, they have a lot of benefits, and they still have so much money to take, which makes him feel embarrassed.
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Last month was a special month, so the rewards were more."
"Brother Zhang said that?"
"yes!"
"Okay, I'll take it!"
Zhao Erbao stepped forward to receive the monthly payment, laughing. The four silver coins were so bright and precious in his hand. The rest couldn't wait. Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Lanlan were also happy and couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.
This is the first time for everyone to receive monthly money like this. It feels fresh. Although it is not very formal, it is stylish.
"Zhao Tiedan, monthly salary is 2 silver coins, and the same bonus is 2 silver coins, totaling 4 silver coins, brother Tiedan"
"Thank you ma'am"
"Zhao Bows and Arrows, monthly salary of 2 silver coins, additional reward of 2 silver coins, totaling 4 silver coins. Big brother of bows and arrows"
"Thank you, madam!"
It can be seen that the three of them are treated equally. However, in terms of relationship and status, Zhao Erbao's family is much closer to Zhang Weidong than others. Although Xu Qing respected the two of them, he did not ask them to call her younger brother and sister like Zhao Erbao. This difference came out. But no one thought it was inappropriate. When Zhang Weidong was injured, he was rescued by Zhao Erbao's family. Everyone gradually knew about it, so others could not compare.
"Zhao Falcon, monthly salary of 1 silver coin, additional reward of 2 silver coins, totaling 3 silver coins!"
"Zhao hunting dog"The monthly salary is 1 silver coin, and the additional reward is 2 silver coins, totaling 3 silver coins! "
The two brothers¡¯ monthly money was a little less than that of the three elders, but they had no complaints and happily came forward to give them change. In the past month, they spent most of their time practicing martial arts, looking after the gatehouse and the yard. And that was the monthly payment set at the beginning. They were still young, and Zhang Weidong's idea was to let them practice martial arts diligently.
"My master said, let you continue to practice martial arts diligently, don't let him down!"
"Thank you, madam!"
"We will definitely do it!"
The two brothers were very excited and felt full of energy.
¡°Madam, don¡¯t worry, if they dare not practice martial arts diligently, I will break their legs!¡± Zhao Gongjian said.
Zhao Gongjian was also very pleased to know that Zhang Weidong was focusing on cultivating his two sons. To become a warrior, the younger the better, the higher the plasticity and the higher the future achievements. In this regard, the two sons have more potential than the three elders.
The two brothers scratched their heads and giggled, thinking to themselves, fools don¡¯t practice martial arts well. After practicing diligently during this period, the two of them have long known the benefits of practicing martial arts. Their strength has greatly increased, their skills are brisk, and there are many benefits.
Xu Qing smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Zhao, the monthly salary will be calculated at 2 silver coins from now on, with an additional reward of 2 silver coins, totaling 4 silver coins. In addition, a piece of floral satin. The master has said that the children will be educated and literate. I hope Mr. Zhao will pay more attention to it. As long as the children If you learn well, the Zhang family will not treat Mr. Zhao badly!"
Mr. Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he became excited: "I will definitely do my best. Madam and my employer can rest assured!"
It was originally agreed that meals would be included. The monthly salary is 1 silver coin, and now the monthly salary is doubled. There is also a reward equivalent to monthly salary, Mr. Zhao is very satisfied. Good things like this are hard to find. He also secretly determined to teach these children well. With a monthly income of 4 silver coins, which is an upper-middle income among private school teachers, supporting a family is definitely not a problem.
Just when everyone thought it was over and were about to disperse and go about their business, Xu Qing was thinking about the account again.
Mother Zhao was stunned, and everyone was also stunned.
"Girl. Did you pronounce it wrong?" Mother Zhao said hurriedly.
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Don't worry, Aunt Zhao. The master said that Aunt Zhao has a lot of work to take care of the children in the house, and she will have to get a monthly salary in the future. This has helped everyone a lot."
Zhao's mother said excitedly: "How can this make the old woman eat, live in, and wear the food from the family, and she is still blind? Doctor Zhang is giving money to see a doctor, and then taking money, this is not appropriate, you can't take it." This is ungrateful!¡±
Xu Qing tried to persuade her, but Zhao¡¯s mother still persisted, and finally took out Zhang Weidong to solve the problem. From now on, Mother Zhao will have to take care of the children.
"Mr. Zhao, monthly salary is 1 silver coin. Additional reward is 1 silver coin, totaling 2 silver coins. Sister-in-law"
"Brothers and sisters, do I also have a share?"
"Of course, not only does my sister-in-law have a monthly salary, but so does Lanlan!"
Mrs. Zhao immediately stepped forward to collect the money happily. She and Zhao Lanlan mainly helped Xu Qing cook in the kitchen. Zhang's family was small and the staff was uneven. None of them were outsiders. Xu Qing also cooked.
"Zhao Lanlan, 1 silver coin per month, extra reward 1 silver coin, total 2 silver coins, Lan Lan"
"Thank you, Second Aunt!" Zhao Lanlan smiled sweetly, but couldn't suppress her excitement.
She was still a child in the eyes of many people, but she got monthly money for the first time, and her face was flushed with excitement.
Xu Qingxiao said: "Your second uncle has said that you must not fall behind in martial arts training or literacy, otherwise you will be gone next month!"
"knew!"
The unusual scene of handing out monthly money was over, and everyone went about their business in a good mood, full of confidence in the future. For example, Zhao Erbao's family was a little confused when they moved together with Zhang Weidong. Now, in addition to being exempted from food and accommodation, the family also earns 8 silver coins a month. From now on, they will also have monthly money. This is an unimaginably good life.
There are also Zhao Gongjian and his son. They didn¡¯t know how to spend the 10 silver coins per month last month. They finally decided to save it for the brothers to find wives in the future. As for Zhao Tiedan and his son, 5 silver coins were less than those from the other two families, but they were very satisfied.
With these high incomes, they can spend their own money and buy things they like.
But for the Zhang family, these expenses are just trivial.
In May, the income of ¡®Yonghetang¡¯ was very high. After deducting eight expensive medicinal materials, there was still a coin income of about 10 gold coins. Everyone's monthly payment was 27 silver coins and 50 silver coins for living expenses. The total expenditure was 77 silver coins, which left a lot.
"Well, I just established myself in Ren County last month. I have to buy a lot of household items. With the extra rewards, my expenses are a bit high. I should be able to save twenty or thirty silver coins in June."
Xu Qing was in a good mood, carefully put away the account book, went back to the house and locked it. ???I like this feeling of being the master of the family, I like this life, it seems like I have returned to when I was a girl, this is the way Mrs. Zhang should live. If you want to put a name to it, this is also called "petty bourgeoisie sentiment". Zhang Weidong will definitely make fun of her and call her "little money fan"
Yonghetang, a carriage with a carriage was parked outside, guarded by a servant.
In the medicine hall, there was a male patient sitting and waiting. He was in his forties or fifties. He was wearing silk and satin and looked rich. There was a servant standing next to him with his hands down. However, the patient's face was abnormal.
This man is a wealthy businessman from Ren County, his surname is Li. He also donated his status as a member of the Communist Party of China and came here early in the morning. Zhang Weidong just completed the diagnosis and was prescribing medicine.
"Doctor Zhang, is my problem serious? Can it be cured?" Li Yuanwai asked.
"Mr. Li should have gone to Qida Pharmacy, right?"
"this"
"Don't be embarrassed, since Yonghetang dares to accept your money, it will completely cure your disease, don't worry!" Zhang Weidong said.
Li Yuanwai said bitterly: "To be honest with Doctor Zhang, I have been to seven medicine halls, but it has not worked. I have almost given up in the past two years."
Zhang Weidong listened. In just a moment, a bunch of small medical packets were ready. They were sealed one by one. They were filled with powder and mixed evenly. He didn't weigh it, he just took the medicine with his hands, and it was accurate.
When Officer Li saw this, he praised again: "Doctor Zhang is very good at taking medicine! Why don't you hire a medicine boy?"
Zhang Weidong smiled: "Forget it, there are very few patients in Yonghe Hall, and I am enough."
Li Yuanwai immediately laughed and said: "As long as Dr. Zhang's medical skills are excellent, are you afraid that you won't get business? Dr. Zhang is so humble!"
Zhang Weidong didn¡¯t take it seriously. The other party was complimenting him, and it was just his second customer for the opening.
"Liu Yuanwai must remember to take this medicine for fifteen days, two packets a day, one packet in the morning and one packet in the afternoon. Swallow it with warm water when taking it. You must stop taking other medicines and tonics, as well as sexual intercourse. After fifteen days, The medicine will cure the disease, but you need to have some taboos in the future, and you can't overindulge. Just once every three days is enough. When you go back to take care of your health, I will prescribe some warm and tonic medicine to make a medicated diet." Zhang Weidong warned.
"Thank you very much, Doctor Zhang. If I can really cure the disease, I will give you another gift!" Mr. Li happily took a bag of medicine and asked his servants to keep it, and thanked him.
Zhang Weidong nodded and said with a smile: "As long as you take the medicine according to the prescription, Mr. Li will definitely get his wish in half a month!"
"Then let me borrow Dr. Zhang's good advice. How much does it cost?"
"The consultation fee is 1 silver, each dose is 5 silver, and the sincere benefit is 151 silver coins!"
?? 151 silver coins are 1 gold coin and 51 silver coins. Mr. Li didn't even frown when he took out the money. Zhang Weidong collected the money with a smile and sent the guest to the door.
"Let's go!"
"Doctor Zhang, stay!"
After seeing off Mr. Li, Zhang Weidong regained his composure and returned to the table to sit down and drink tea.
Zhao Gongjian, who was on the side, was impressed and sighed: "Master, if there are patients coming to your door every day, then it will be great!"
Two gold coins in three days. If you say it, it will make the seven people in the medicine hall jealous. However, Zhang Weidong's accurate diagnosis and miraculous medication were better than those of the doctors from the seven major medicine halls. This made Zhao Gongjian even more confident.
Hearing this, Zhang Weidong struck: "What a beautiful idea!"
"His illness is serious, and not many people can afford to spend big money on treatment. Yonghe Hall is newly opened, has a low reputation and lacks trust, and it is impossible for every patient to spend so much money."
Zhao Gongjian Na Na said: "Didn't the county captain's wife also say that the master's medical skills are superb? How come no one wants to come?"
Two days ago, Zheng County Lieutenant brought his wife to see a doctor. After Zhang Weidong made the diagnosis, he prescribed medicine for ten days without any adjustment. There were 30 doses in total, taken three times a day. Each dose cost 2 silver coins. He received 61 silver coins. There was no discount. . At that time, Lieutenant Zheng was a little displeased and felt that 'Yonghetang' was really too dark. However, since his wife was present, he could not fall out on the spot. As a result, just one day later, the couple came to thank her and left many gifts.
¡°Obviously, the medicine of ¡®Yonghetang¡¯ has taken effect, and it has only been taken for a day and a half, so the effect is very powerful.
The fact that Zheng Xianwei¡¯s wife goes to see a doctor is a good advertisement. No, as soon as the door opened today, Mr. Li came to the door.
Zhang Weidong shook his head and said: "There is more than one medicine hall. If you can treat a disease cheaply, who is willing to spend more than ten times or dozens of times the cost?"
Sure enough, there are many rich people who are willing to spend large sums of money to see a doctor, but there are very few who trust Yonghetang. After Li left, no patients came to the hospital for several days. It is estimated that when Mr. Li came to visit, it was Sima who was acting as a live horse doctor. He had no choice but toAnd for that.
¡°Yonghetang¡¯s road to making money has to be done slowly. (To be continued.)
