The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 253 Waiting for Death
And at this time, it was only the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, which meant that Li Erlang, who had just finished the New Year, planned to go back to Hongqiao Village.

He planned to go back and buy some mountain products and medicinal materials in the village and neighboring villages, and then find a caravan to transport them to the capital.

On the one hand, it can help the villagers so that they can harvest more than farming.

He can also earn the price difference from it. Li Erlang has already learned about the prices in the capital city in detail by visiting around the capital city and nearby streets and alleys years ago.

I found that there are many things that are indeed more expensive than those in my hometown, and they are much more expensive.

In particular, the third child who knew more than him because he had read books and was good at learning told him that things are rare and expensive.

For example, because of the difference in geographical conditions and climate, the South and the North produce many things differently.

Sometimes, things that are everywhere in the south may be very rare when transported to the north, so the price will be much higher.

vice versa.

If it's just one or two things, it's definitely not worth it. Traveling from south to north is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the travel expenses, food and accommodation along the way are also a lot of expenses.

But if you transport a lot of things, two or even three or four in one car, it will be different.

Li Xiuping deducted the labor costs along the road based on Li Erlang's item quotations, etc. After careful calculation, the profit in the middle is still very considerable.

Li Erlang didn't worry about receiving the goods in Hongqiao Village, not to mention that he himself was born and bred in Hongqiao, and he would have a favorable location after returning.

Knowing where the mountain products are plentiful and cheap, Fang Lao Si is also running a small business and has a flexible mind.

Li Erlang knew that Fang's fourth brother had written letters to his younger siblings before, asking him to come out and see for himself.

So Li Erlang thought about whether he could cooperate with his brother-in-law?
He used to send his third son to go to school to study, and every time people in the caravan helped him deliver letters home, Li Erlang looked at those people who ran the business very jealously.

He didn't want to spend his whole life digging in the fields, but he also knew that he was not suitable for studying. After starting some small businesses at home, Li Erlang discovered that he was very interested in running a business.

But he is still timid, he has never traveled far in his life, and he did not dare to have such an idea before.

Now, I have followed the third child to the capital, and I have developed some courage.

Moreover, there were acquaintances at both ends of the capital and Anshun County to meet him, Li Erlang was even more moved.

The free clinic after the year was an opportunity for Li Erlang, because the county government bought medicinal materials from the pharmacy and distributed them free of charge to the people who went to see the doctor.

In the process of helping out with the third child, Li Erlang discovered that there are two medicinal materials in the prescription, and they are everywhere in the mountains and plains in their hometown.

And before, the third daughter-in-law taught the family how to prepare fresh herbs from the mountains.

They are all wild on the mountain. The third daughter-in-law also said that she can grow them at the foot of the mountain.

Because their land is suitable, there are a lot of them. At that time, they concocted medicinal materials and sold them to Baoantang in the county for only fifteen to twenty yuan a catty.

But in the security hall in the capital, the shopkeeper told him that if the two kinds of medicinal materials processed were good, they would give them fifty cents a catty.

A total of fifty pennies, Li Erlang's heart was moved all of a sudden.

I have already asked the third child to write a letter to go back and ask his brother-in-law to help him go to the mountains to collect herbs, or he can buy them in the village and outside the village, and then let the old Fang's family help with the processing.

When Li Erlang returns from the capital, it will take more than 20 days on the way, just as the medicinal materials at home can be processed into a batch.

He took them back to the capital together, and brought other things to see if he could make money.

The reason why it is at this time is also because the spring plowing will start in two months, and the people in the village don't have the time to go up the mountain to find mountain products and gather herbs.

He has always done things like this, very courageous, and he wrote a trustee to send it back last time.

Because of the preparation of the free clinic here, Li Erlang saw that the county government bought a lot of medicinal materials from several pharmacies at once, and immediately decided to leave for his hometown tomorrow.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, Li Erlang woke up early, ready to go out.

So old man Li Shi hurriedly prepared some things left over from the New Year at home, and wanted Li Erlang to take them back;
Mrs. Li got up early in the morning to make steamed buns for him as dry food on the road, and also fried a few meatloaf.

"Second, go and see your old uncle after you go back, and explain it to your mother. Next time when my mother goes back, I will go to their house to see."

There is also an older brother in Shi's natal family. Due to various reasons, the relationship between the two families is not good.

When I was in my hometown, the two families rarely communicated.

I don't know what's going on, but I still miss them when I go out?
"It can be stored for two or three days in this weather, and you can eat it when you heat it up on the road. But if you stay at the hotel in Sutou, you should eat some hot food."

"Second brother, I have prepared some commonly used medicine for you, you should be careful on the road."

Li Erlang didn't go back alone, taking Ermao with him, while Da Mao stayed in the restaurant and continued to work as the accountant.

Li Erlang and Er Mao listened carefully to the family's advice, and then waved goodbye to the family.

Today, Fang Qingqing also woke up very early, and was going to see a doctor outside the city.

She went there with Li Xiuping and Damao Sanmao Simao, and even Li Xiaomei took her with her.

Liu Niuniu is at home with grandma and mother, and there are many things to do at home.

Fang Qingqing thought they came early enough, but when they arrived, there were already many people queuing up outside the medical shed, waiting to see a doctor.

However, among these people queuing up, there are not many women, and the common women are the elderly and children.

There are almost no young women and young ladies.

Even as early as the beginning, Fang Qingqing had anticipated this situation.

At this moment, I can't help but feel heartbroken seeing the real situation.

In such an era, it is hard to believe that most women will not go to see a doctor when they are sick, and they can only wait for their illness to recover.

Or, wait, die?
Thinking of this, Fang Qingqing shuddered, and her belief in studying medicine became more and more firm.

She not only wants to learn by herself and learn well, but also strives to spread the medical skills she has learned as much as possible.

After Li Xiuping arrived at the place, he first went to meet up with the people from the county government. This time he planned to go on a business trip.

Because of the actual situation, they simply joined forces with the security hall to convince the county magistrate.

So she specially sent people to publicize and lobby among the people in the queue, and after another quarter of an hour, Fang Qingqing saw that most of the people queuing in front of her medical shed were women.

It's just that there was a long queue at first, but when those women saw that the person sitting in the medical shed was actually a little lady, all of them stared wide-eyed.

"Here, what's going on here?"

"Where is the doctor, why is there no doctor here?"

"Didn't you say that the doctor in this medical shed is a female doctor?"
