Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 122
The prelude to the four years of Huangyou kicked off amidst the sound of firecrackers.

This new year's festival, Bianjing city is as lively as ever, the restaurant Wazi in Maxing Street has a lot of performances, singing and dancing entertainment is even more night and night.

Xin Yi originally wanted to set the opening time after the Lantern Festival, around the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, but Zhang Dabo asked a Mr. Yin and Yang to make a fortune for her.It is said that on the red sand day on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the ten evils were defeated, they did not gather wealth, and they were punished with Xin Yi's birthday horoscope.

Xin Yi didn't believe it at first, after all, her real birthday is actually a negative number.

After counting, she will not be born until more than 900 years ago, so it doesn't matter.

However, there are many things that need to be prepared for the opening of the new store. The medicinal materials need to be replenished, and the manpower is insufficient. A group of "oil stealers" like Dong Dahai.

Therefore, it will take some time to prepare medicinal materials, train and screen staff.

Xin Yi listened to Mr. Yin Yang's suggestion and set the opening date on the first day of February.

The busy days dilute the taste of the year.

After Xin Yi settled down, he ordered two tables of noodles at Jintai Building, and had someone deliver them to the store. He invited Mrs. Cao and Uncle Zhang's family to have dinner to express his gratitude.

A group of adults and a few children were having a good time eating happily.

Xin Yi prepared tea, pastries, melon seeds and other snacks. After the meal, they all gathered in the backyard, talking and laughing, and looking forward to the future of the pharmacy.

"Miss Boss, the horizontal plaque you ordered has arrived."

The loud voice from outside came to the inside, Xin Yi threw the unfinished melon seeds into the fruit plate, and came out with a smile.

"So fast?"

"Miss Boss, where is the horizontal plaque? Hang it up after you open, or should we hang it up for you right now?"

"Please hang it up, lest you look for someone later..."

Carrying a horizontal plaque outside the door are two shop assistants.

On the horizontal plaque are written three gilded characters - Xinyifang.

High-quality nanmu, black primer, fonts covered with gold leaf, and herbal line stripes carved on the corners, simple and generous, looks very elegant, but whether it is material or workmanship, it looks a bit too extravagant.

"How much does this cost?"

Xin Yi counted the money distressedly, and asked while pointing to the horizontal plaque.

"I remember I ordered camphor wood, right? Did your boss make a mistake?"

Golden nanmu was an extremely valuable wood in any era. Although the signboard was the face of a business, Xin Yi didn't want to make it so extravagant and wasteful.

After all, she didn't have much money on hand, so she was nervous.

"Hey! You don't need money from the lady."

The two clerks put the horizontal plaque at the door of the shop, took the towels and wiped off their sweat, "Commander Cao has already given it to you."

Xin Yi's heart skipped a beat.

"Commander Cao...?"

"Yes." The man was about to speak, his eyes swept away, and he suddenly smiled, "No, the master is here!"

Xin Yi's eyelids twitched, and when he looked up, he saw Cao Yi coming on horseback.

He is dressed in a straight body with dark blue auspicious cloud patterns, and a golden brocade fur cloak over his head. The smile on his handsome face is in the joy of the New Year. The sun is coming.

"Miss Zhang."

He jumped off the horse, handed the reins to the accompanying attendants, took two steps forward, bowed to Xin Yi, congratulated her on her housewarming and the opening of her new shop, then turned around and said with a smile:
"This horizontal plaque was personally written by Medical Envoy Liu of the Medical Officer's Academy. He wrote vigorously and magnificently. He is a doctor with great courage. It is very suitable to be used here. It will definitely add some color to Mrs. Zhang's shop."

Xin Yi returned the gift: "I am sorry, Mr. Cao, but I am so virtuous and capable that I dare to let the medical officer Liu catch the pen in person..."

Cao Yi smiled and said, "Young lady, please don't thank me. This matter has nothing to do with me. It was Doctor Liu who heard about the allusion of the little lady, and he was very grateful... That's why he was entrusted to capture the pen. If not, it's up to him How can I ask for the old man's temper, but he won't."

After all, Cao Yi smiled again.

"As for the cost of the horizontal plaque, it's nothing, just treat it as a congratulatory gift from me to Mrs. Zhang, and I hope she will accept it with a smile."

Xin Yi looked at Cao Yi, his mouth moved slightly, wanting to ask something, but in front of so many people, it was inconvenient to brush his face off.

"Then I have the audacity to accept it."

People delivered all the congratulatory gifts to the door of the store, and there is absolutely no reason for people to carry them back, and it says "Xinyifang", which is a fait accompli and cannot be returned.

At this time, San Xiaozhi and Xiang Lingliang also came out of the inner hall in a lively manner, laughing and laughing to see the signboard of the shop.

When Miss Cao saw Cao Yi, she called "Seventh Uncle" affectionately and beckoned him to sit inside.

Only then did Xin Yi react.

"Xiang Ling, serve tea to Lord Cao."

Xiang Ling agreed and went happily.

Cao Yi glanced at Mrs. Cao, smiled at her, saluted each other and wished a happy new year, and then said to Xin Yi: "I won't drink tea. I have something to do today, so I will leave. When the medicine shop opens Day, I must come to have a glass of water and wine for you."

Xin Yi thanked her, but did not keep her.

Mrs. Cao sent him a long way before she came back, glanced at Xin Yi, and whispered: "My seventh uncle is a noble person, let alone please, he can't be lifted by eight sedan chairs, which is good , personally wrote a plaque for you, and delivered it to the door, but I couldn’t bear to take a sip of tea.”

Seeing the frivolous banter in her eyes, Xin Yi knew what she was thinking and smiled lightly.

"Master Cao has the style of a gentleman. I just did him a little favor. It really shames me to give him such a generous gift."

"Little Busy?" Although they have the same surname Cao, the Xiaocao Mansion is separated from the Da Cao Mansion by one floor. Lady Xiao Cao doesn't fully understand the affairs of the Dacao Mansion, so she is very curious when she hears this.

Xin Yi hummed calmly, turned to look at the two clerks in the front shop hanging up the horizontal plaque, and answered casually.

"Master Cao's family has a minor illness, please ask me for a diagnosis and treatment."

Mrs. Cao suddenly realized.

"No wonder, I just said that Uncle Qi is so enthusiastic..."

"Miss Boss, do you see if it's straight?" The clerk of the front shop stood on the wooden bench, with a smile on his face, and asked Xin Yi naively.

Xin Yi took the opportunity to go out, avoiding more inquiries from Mrs. Cao, and raised his neck to direct the staff to hang up the horizontal plaque.

"A little left."

"Yes, yes, go further to the right. No, the right corner goes up a little bit."

"Okay, there it is. Okay, straightened!"

Mrs. Cao followed.

"Look at these three words, it's wonderful."

When the new store was listed, neighbors and passers-by also stopped to watch and discuss enthusiastically.

The city of Bianjing is well-developed in business, with hundreds of industries, and there are many kinds of plaques hanging on the merchants' names, and the patterns are endless.

Xin Yi has observed before that many pharmacies will hang out their main medicines, or "children's accumulated food", "injury medicine and bruises", "wind-cold accumulated food", etc., or famous people, they will directly Sign up with surnames, such as "Sun's Pharmacy", "Tan's Pharmacy", "Xie Doctor's Home", "Qi Rongzhai" and so on.

Compared with some well-known old shops, Xin Yi is a newcomer, and he didn't want to make it so fancy, but he directly used his own name.

It's just that I didn't expect that the original "Xinyifang" would be full of brilliance because of this bronzing signboard.

It was only after the horizontal plaque was hung up that Xin Yi discovered that there was a red badge underneath. She couldn't read the engraved characters, but she roughly guessed that it was the signature of Doctor Liu.

It became bullish before it even opened.

The people in the pharmacy were inexplicably excited, all gearing up and smiling, but Xin Yi sighed silently.

The debt owed to Cao Yi is increasing, and she is about to pay it off, so she has to concentrate on treating Empress Cao.

Due to the busy chores in the palace during the New Year's Eve, Empress Cao had no chance to leave the palace these days, nor did she invite Xin Yi to go for treatment.Xinyiji was concerned about this matter, and after seeing off the guests in the afternoon, he sorted out the medicinal materials in the store, and took the medicinal materials he had sorted out to Cao's mansion.

Cao Yi was not there, the concierge said that he was going to pay New Year's greetings, but there was still a lucky bag hanging outside the gate for Xin Yi to leave a post.

Xin Yi put down the medicine bag, thought for a while, and left another note.

"Lord Cao's kindness, Xin Yi will definitely repay you generously in the future."

She believed that Cao Yi could understand this sentence. It was a thank you to him for donating the plaque, and also a thank you for the thousands of coins for renting the shop. At the same time, she also expressed her intention to return the principal with interest to him in the future.

When leaving Cao Mansion, Xin Yi was much more relaxed.

Make good money and pay off your debts.

Xin Yi made up his mind, and when he returned to Ma Xing Street, he summoned the clerks from the original Sun family pharmacy, and each of them handed out a piece of "examination questions", which included some basic knowledge about the processing and pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine.

She wanted to find out the bottom line of these people first, see who can stay and who can't, so that she can know...

Xin Yi was watching over the guys to solve the problem, and never thought that the lady she had saved in Yongqiu Xigang came to the door with her daughter.

He opened his mouth and said, "My surname is An, and my natal uncle also runs a medicine hall. I grew up in my uncle's medicine hall. I know medicinal materials and understand a little bit of pharmacology. I want to find a job with my wife. I wonder if it will work?"
