Chapter 83 Grandpa’s Relaxation

As Song Chen expected, shopkeeper Cui sent her good news three days later.

It turns out that shopkeeper Cui asked Dr. Qin to give free clinics to the poor and distribute Chinese patent medicines to treat wind and cold for free. Those people took the medicine for one day and most of their diseases were cured. After taking another day, the wind and cold in their bodies were completely cured. .

One by one, they ran to Huichun Hall to express their gratitude.

Although the Chinese patent medicines just launched by Huichun Tang are not popular, this does not affect the patients coming back to see a doctor in Huichun Tang. There are still as many patients as ever in Huichun Tang.

Not to mention Shopkeeper Cui, even Doctor Qin who treated them was shocked.

As for the disease of wind and cold, although it is not a serious disease, it can make people feel uncomfortable. However, if one is not treated well, the wind and cold may kill people.

Doctor Qin is a doctor at the free clinic. He knows best what kind of situation the people who came before were like, but in just two days, these people are alive and kicking again.

To be honest, the decoction does not take effect so quickly.

Generally, it is indispensable to drink decoction for three to five days when suffering from wind and cold.

"Shopkeeper, are these really the people I saw before?" Doctor Qin asked Shopkeeper Cui in disbelief.

Shopkeeper Cui smiled meaningfully when he heard what he asked. "Do you think it's incredible? In fact, I didn't believe it at first, but after trying it myself, I know how good these proprietary Chinese medicines are."

There were other patients in Huichun Hall who came back to get medicine. Some of them were the same patients who came to Dr. Qin's free clinic with those people that day. However, at that time, they rejected Chinese patent medicines and still chose decoctions.

Now they were shocked to see that the people who were seeing the doctor with them had recovered.

"Doctor, do you still have any of those Chinese patent medicines? I don't want these medicines anymore, I want the Chinese patent medicines."

The doctor was stunned for a moment, then took back the medicine he had just prepared, and took the person to the counter where the Chinese patent medicines were kept, "The Chinese patent medicines are over here."

"Give me ten packs. The damn wind and cold today are really annoying." The man pinched his nose hard, but not long after, he bared his teeth again. In the past few days, his nose has been pinched with snot. It's broken and it hurts a lot.

The doctor was amused by his words, "This Chinese patent medicine can be taken casually. I have already taken your pulse before. You only need to take one packet twice a day. You can take it for two days and come back two days later." Resume the pulse.”

The doctor said as he took out four packets of medicine.

"What, four packs are enough? Is this little thing so useful?" The patient stared at the medicine pack that was about the size of his palm.

At this time, Shopkeeper Cui came over with a smile, "Two days is enough. If you don't get better in two days, I will help you with free medical treatment at Huichun Hall from now on."

This doesn't sound like a very good temptation. After all, who wants to get sick when they have nothing to do?
But no one will get sick if they eat whole grains. Shopkeeper Cui's words sound quite realistic.

"Sure, then I'll go back and eat for two days before we talk."

The doctor added, "Remember, take one pack with half a cup of warm water once in the morning and evening every day. Don't be greedy for more."

With the first, there will naturally be a second.

Some people have the mentality of giving it a try, while others have made a calculation. This small packet of medicine may seem expensive at fifty cents, but it does not last long. Two hundred cents is enough for a cold wind.

If you drink decoction, you can't get away with three hundred coins of decoction for three to five days.

In this way, Huichuntang sold thirty or forty bags that day.

Another day has passed, and Huichun Tang’s proprietary Chinese medicine that specializes in treating wind and cold has become a delicacy in Huichun Tang. Those who bought it and ate it felt much more relaxed after eating it for a day, although there were still some I have a headache and a cough, but it’s not uncomfortable anymore.

With such an effect, people around you can naturally see it.

After asking around, I asked about Hui Chun Tang and about Chinese patent medicines.

When Song Chen heard the news, she didn't have much trouble in her heart. This was something she expected.

She makes all these Chinese patent medicines by adding spring water, which can extract the maximum effect of the medicine, and the effect is naturally more significant.

Not to mention the convenience of taking it. You can drink it with half a cup of warm water. It is neither bitter nor smelly. It is normal for it to be popular.

She believed that it was not just the Huichun Hall in Chongyun Town, but also the Huichun Hall in other places.

Her suspicion was completely confirmed by the order placed by Shopkeeper Cui and the medicinal materials delivered. In the past, medicinal materials were delivered once every five days.

Now it has been changed to delivering medicinal materials once every two days.

Shopkeeper Cui also brought her the wishes of other shopkeepers. Now all the shopkeepers of Huichun Hall are eager to make Chinese patent medicines that can treat other diseases in addition to the Chinese patent medicines that specifically treat wind and cold.

Patients ask this every day.

However, Song Chen has no such plan yet. Just a Chinese patent medicine to treat wind and cold has already overwhelmed the workers in the workshop.

She had to wait until the first group of workers fully mastered the aspect they were responsible for and were able to bring in new people before she would consider making other recipes.

In order to catch up with the goods, Song He spent most of his time in the workshop. He has not been back for lunch for several days. In the past few days, it was Song Chen and the three of them who had lunch. Today, there are more grandparents.

The two elders came from Wangcun.This time, when the two came over, Song Chen clearly felt the difference between them. In the past, they felt that their hearts were full of burdens, but this time, they seemed to be unusually relaxed.

After dinner, grandpa called Song Chen and her parents to the living room.

He solemnly took out a cloth bag from himself and placed it on the table in front of him.

Song Chen looked at the two elders, then at the bag on the table, but said nothing.

"Dad, what is this? I have never seen you like this before." Mrs. Song looked at Wang Kuitu's expression, full of doubts in her heart.

Wang Kuitu knew that his daughter was now in charge of the Song family's accounts, so he pushed the bag he had just put down in front of her.

"I sold the land in Wangcun. You keep the money. It's not a problem for your brother to eat and drink for free all day long. It costs a lot of money to study. I know that this is not enough. In the future, I will send all the money I earn to you.”

The hand that Mrs. Song had just stretched out suddenly bounced away, "Dad, what did you say!!! Did you sell the land?"

Compared to Song Wang's shock, Wang Kuitu seemed very calm, "Well, I sold it, the price is pretty good, four acres of land was sold for more than 20 taels."

This fertile land usually costs between five and eight taels per acre, and the people who sold their land gave them seven taels per acre.

"I heard that someone wanted to buy a piece of land that was connected together. It happened that the families on both sides of our land wanted to sell it. Those two families paid seven taels of silver per acre, so the buyer gave me seven acres. I originally thought that I could Selling it for five taels of silver per acre is pretty good."

After all, he was in a hurry to sell.

Song Chen knew that his grandfather sold the land just to give them money.

Song Chen felt hurt and angry at these two old men who said they didn't want to cause any trouble to their daughter.

"Then grandpa sells the land, how will he make money in the future?" Song Chen said quietly.

Mrs. Song Wang rolled her eyes angrily, making her worry-free one by one.

Unexpectedly, Wang Kuitu looked at Song Chen with a smile, "I heard your father said before that you wanted to buy a mountain. Now that you have bought the mountain, you need someone to open up the land. You need someone to watch over it. Hire me. Don't think I'm old. Why? I am the first-class at work, and in Wangcun I dare to say that I am the first, but no one dares to say that I am the second."

"And your grandma, she is not only good at housework, she is also good at things in the fields. From now on, your grandma will take care of all the housework in your family. She doesn't need to pay you, she just has to take care of the food."

With all the arrangements made for him, Song Chen could only hold his eyebrows and look at the sky speechlessly.

"Mom, please take the money. I'm going back to the house first." Song Chen felt depressed and a little uncomfortable.

Wang Kuitu smiled and said, "Yes, take it, take it."

The Song Wang family could only accept the money. It was a good thing that her parents were willing to live with her, but those few acres of land were really a pity.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for Song Chen to pay the first batch of workers.

Song Chen simply designated this day as a holiday, and everyone could go home after receiving the completion payment.

At first, the Song Wang family did not agree to pay wages early in the morning. They thought it was unlucky. People should pay money early in the morning instead of paying money.

But here in Song Chen, there is no taboo about not paying her wages in the morning. She can do whatever she has to do if she is paid her wages in the morning.

Everyone in the village knew this taboo. When Song He informed them that they would come to collect their wages in the morning, they were all stunned for a while. Finally, they thought to come and take a look before talking, and saw that tables had already been set up outside the workshop.

Today, Song Chen also called Wang Shanwei over to help. When all twenty people arrived, Wang Shanwei called forward according to the people on the roster.

Villagers who come forward to receive wages first need to press their fingerprints on the roster, and then go to the Song Wang family to collect the money.

According to the previous agreement, fifteen cents a day, and wages would be calculated as usual on a day off. Song Wang counted 450 cents for them one by one.

It's almost half a pound of money, and it feels very weighty when you hold it in your hand.

In fact, everyone is quite uneasy about working this month. If they say they are not worried, they would be lying. If they don’t get paid after working for a month, wouldn’t it be in vain?

Today, I really have money in my hands, and I feel at ease.

Beyond solidity, there is ecstasy.

You can earn so much money in one month in the village. This is just one month!
There are still so many months to come, so how much money can they make?

Thinking about the past many years, they had never had so much money in their hands at once. They had been exhausted all year round and only had a little food left.

But still not enough to eat.

Based on this calculation, one person can earn five taels of silver in this workshop alone in a year. Plus the few acres of land at home, he will finally not have to go hungry in the future.

I hope that the Song family’s workshop can last for a long time.
