Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen
Chapter 86 Meeting Again
This sentence did not cause any emotion in the ears of other people, but Shi Chenxing and Qiu Yu were knowledgeable and were shocked when they heard it.
Shi Chenxing was very excited when he thought that Lu Keer had mastered a better technology for refining sugar. He was more cautious and immediately dismissed the other children and sent them to other places.
When only Lu Ke'er, Qiu Yu and he were left in the room, he asked Lu Ke'er, "Miss, are you serious?"
"Yes. I have learned that most of the maltose in Qiguo is made from sweet potatoes, mung beans, and corn. The sugar content is not as high as white sugar. The white sugar I want to make is cane sugar. It is made from sugarcane."
"sugar cane?"
"I have looked up some books and asked some traveling merchants in Jinji Town. I learned that sugarcane is rare in our Qi country, but in Ling country to the south of Qi country, there are farmers who grow sugarcane. However, because Ling country does not know how to make sugar, there are not many large-scale sugarcane plants. The soil and climate in our Xilin County are more suitable for sugarcane growth. I will cooperate with Master Rong and let him introduce a batch of sugarcane for planting."
Qiu Yu had been with Rong Zhixing for several years and had developed a certain sensitivity in business. He imagined the future that Lu Ke'er had described, and his heart was filled with excitement.
No wonder Mr. Rong values Miss Lu so much, because she has real abilities.
"Miss, you want to plant this sugarcane on a large scale and extract white sugar?" Shi Chenxing was very excited.
"That's right. I want to give it a try first. If the effect is good, we can promote it throughout the county or even the state." Lu Ke'er's voice was very calm.
She had some modern plans in mind, but it was hard to say whether they could be realized in ancient times. She could only take it one step at a time.
"For now, let's buy maltose and use it to make candied haws. Let's open up sales channels first. It doesn't matter if the profit is low. If the white sugar is successfully refined in the future, our costs will be greatly reduced and the profit will naturally increase."
"Profit?" Shi Chenxing and Qiu Yu looked puzzled.
"You can simply think of it as revenue. It's how much money we made after deducting various costs and expenses."
Then, she explained some modern business terms to the two of them, which benefited them a lot.
As the sun was setting, Lu Ke'er was ready to say goodbye and leave. Everyone saw her off to the door, just as a few hooligans and gangsters rushed in.
"Wow, there's such a pretty girl living here?" The tall and thin gangster with triangular eyes in the lead saw Lu Ke'er and his eyes immediately lit up green, wanting to stick to Lu Ke'er.
Lu Keer frowned in disgust.
"Who are you?" Shi Chenxing looked alert and hurriedly stepped forward to protect Lu Ke'er behind him.
"Why, you don't even recognize the big brother of our Zhenxi Coarse Clothes Gang?" A gangster next to the triangular-eyed man glared at Shi Chenxing and shouted, "Let me tell you, this entire Shiqiao Street is the territory of our Coarse Clothes Gang. If you know what's good for you, pay this year's protection fee."
"Protection money?" Shi Chenxing asked puzzledly, "What do you usually protect us from?"
"The fact that you can stand here in one piece is the result of our protection!" Triangle Eyes said arrogantly, "Don't think I don't know that you made a small fortune a few days ago. Tsk tsk, a few beggars can now have food to eat. Hurry up and hand over the money! Otherwise..."
"What else are you going to do?" Lu Ke'er looked at him coldly.
Being stared at by her pair of cold and gleaming phoenix eyes, the man with triangular eyes felt short of breath and a little guilty: "Then...then I'll let you guys pay!"
Several children came out after hearing the noise, and when they saw these vicious little hooligans, they cowered behind Lu Ke'er and started crying. They had been bullied by these people many times during their wandering days. Every time they managed to get a little food back, it would be snatched away by these bad guys.
"Have you seen the carriage at the door?" Qiu Yu suddenly asked.
Several gangsters looked at the carriage at the gate of the courtyard at the same time.
In fact, they saw the carriage when it drove towards the old house. Therefore, they thought that the people in the old house had some money, so they came to knock on the bamboo pole.
"Do you know who this carriage belongs to?" Qiu Yu raised her chin and glanced at them with contempt. "Miss Lu is a distinguished guest of Pinxianlou and the most valued friend of our Master. And the people living here are all people Miss Lu takes good care of. How dare you come here to blackmail us? Are you really that bold?"
"Little girl, who are you trying to fool? How could a distinguished guest from Pinxianlou come to a place like this?" The man with the triangular eyes immediately changed his expression. But he was still skeptical and couldn't believe it.
Pinxianlou is a wealthy and powerful place in the town, with connections in both the black and white worlds, and no one dares to offend Pinxianlou. It is said that Pinxianlou has a strong background in the capital, and it is not something that small ants like them can offend.
At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted: "Isn't this Miss Lu? Hello, Miss Lu! Hello, Miss Lu!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Ah Qiang from the Rooster Casino. He was still dressed as a thug, and when he saw Lu Ke'er, he trotted over, nodding and bowing all the way, not to mention how flattering his smile was.
Everyone was stunned.
The triangular-eyed guys were even more unbelievable.
If they are local tyrants, then Master Kun and his men are local snakes. When local tyrants see local snakes, they just take a detour.
"Brother Qiang is here? Hello, Brother Qiang. Hello, Brother Qiang." The people with triangular eyes greeted A Qiang one after another.
But Aqiang didn't even glance at him.
"Miss Lu, I didn't expect to meet you here." A Qiang smiled flatteringly, "If Mr. Kun knew that you came to town today but didn't look for him, he would definitely be very sad."
"I'm here to see some friends today, so I won't bother Uncle Kun." Lu Ke'er smiled faintly.
"Are these all Miss Lu's friends?" A Qiang asked, looking at the dilapidated old house and the skinny children in the yard.
"Yes." Lu Ke'er nodded, "He is mine."
Ah Qiang immediately patted his chest and assured: "Ms. Lu's people are the ones protected by our Rooster Casino."
He turned around and pointed at Triangle Eyes and said angrily: "All of you, get out of here right now! If you dare to harass them again, Master Kun will not let you go!"
Triangle Eyes immediately became timid and hurriedly explained to Aqiang: "Brother Qiang, I was blind and didn't know that this girl belonged to Master Kun. We..."
"Pa!" A slap came and blocked the rest of his words in his throat.
Ah Qiang retracted his arm and shouted, "If you don't know how to speak, don't talk nonsense! What do you mean by Master Kun's people? If you spread this, will Miss Lu's reputation be ruined? Miss Lu is our Master Kun's savior! Go and ask around! Master Kun has long passed down the word that in Jinji Town, whoever dares to mess with Miss Lu will mess with Master Kun!"
Triangle Eyes looked terrified, one side of his face was swollen, but he didn't even dare to cover it. He nodded repeatedly when he heard it: "I was just talking nonsense, I can't talk! Brother Qiang taught me a lesson!"
"Get out of here now! You are such a disgrace!" A Qiang scolded harshly.
Triangle Eyes hurriedly ran away with a few of his men.
"Thank you, Aqiang." Lu Ke'er thanked him with a smile.
Ah Qiang was so panicked that he shook his hands repeatedly: "Miss, please don't be so polite. It's really embarrassing for me. If you need anything in the future, just tell me to do it. I will definitely help you get it done even if I have to go through fire and water."
Lu Ke'er laughed. Usually, she could only see that Aqiang was loyal to Lu Kun, but she didn't know that he could speak well.
"Why are you here today?" she asked casually.
"Isn't this Master Kun following the young lady's advice and preparing to do good deeds?" A Qiang pointed to a shed being built under a stone bridge more than ten feet away and said, "Master Kun is going to set up a porridge shed there to give porridge to some homeless people."
Seeing that the shed was almost finished, Lu Keer nodded, thinking that it would be ready for use soon. "That's a good idea, too. But..."
"Girl, feel free to speak up if you have any ideas."
"As the saying goes, help in emergencies but not in poverty." Lu Ke'er thought of some modern charities and assistance measures and said, "There must be a rule for distributing porridge. What kind of people can come to receive porridge, and how many times a person can receive it in a day, there must be rules. Distributing porridge to save people is a good thing, but if people develop a mentality of waiting for help, then it goes against the original intention of doing good."
Aqiang was a rough man, and when he heard Lu Keer's words, he felt that they were profound and difficult to understand, but he knew that Miss Lu must be right. Because Miss Lu was a very knowledgeable person, even Master Kun respected her very much.
He bowed respectfully to Lu Ke'er and said, "Don't worry, Miss Lu. I will convey your words to Master Kun."
"In fact, helping people to help themselves is the key. It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. To help the weak, we can provide them with opportunities, create a better environment, or inspire their inner motivation and hope, so that they have the ability to change their predicament. In this way, we can help them truly solve the problem."
Regardless of whether they could understand or not, Lu Keer still wanted to speak out.
As soon as the words fell, a voice rang out: "Well said!"
A young man in his twenties in a robe had stopped to listen at some point. At this moment, he looked a little excited. He looked over and saw Lu Ke'er's face and blurted out, "Why is it you?"
Only then did Lu Ke'er see the man's face clearly. He was handsome and elegant. Who else could it be but the man who called himself Wei Jinzhi whom she met in Lingxia Village a few days ago?
"It's you!" Lu Ke'er also exclaimed.
"Little girl, you... you have changed so much that I almost can't recognize you." Wei Jinzhi looked Lu Ke'er up and down, and exclaimed in amazement, "It's only been a few days since I last saw you, and your skin has become so fair, and the whole person... ah, sorry, I'm abrupt, but I really don't mean anything else, it's really your appearance..."
When his eyes met Lu Ke'er's bright and shining phoenix eyes, Wei Jinzhi suddenly felt his usually calm heart thump twice more. He became incoherent.
"Has my appearance changed a lot?" Lu Ke'er's heart moved.
These days, she circulated the spiritual energy in her body for several cycles every day, and used it to heal people from time to time. With the nourishment of the spiritual energy in her body, her body was quietly changing.
Every once in a while, the dirt would be discharged from her body. She felt that her body was getting lighter and more energetic day by day. It was just a pity that there was no clear mirror at home, so she didn't quite understand how her appearance had changed.
"How should I put it? The facial features haven't changed, but the skin is whiter, the temperament is better, and even the hair has become darker." After Wei Jinzhi finished speaking, he suddenly felt that it was really ungentlemanly for a man to describe the changes in a girl's appearance in such detail. For a moment, he felt his cheeks getting hot and his ears turned red.
After hearing this, Lu Ke'er was very happy.
There is no woman who doesn't love beauty.
"Haha, really?" Her eyes were bright, and the joy she showed on her face infected everyone.
Seeing her so calm and generous, Wei Jinzhi felt even more embarrassed. He thought he was quite cool and open-minded, but in front of this little girl, he found himself becoming a little impetuous.
"Well, Miss Lu, I've wanted to say this for a long time. Your skin used to be yellow and gray, and a little rough, but now it's white and tender, like a peeled boiled egg. Miss Lu, how did you do it?" Qiuyu took the opportunity to ask.
She had wanted to ask for a long time.
It's so uncomfortable to hold it in every day.
"How did you do that?" Lu Ke'er suddenly had an idea and answered with a smile, "Maybe the moisturizing cream and whitening cream I tried to make are effective."
"Moisturizer? Whitening cream?"
"I am a farmer's daughter. I work outside and am exposed to the sun and wind every day, so my skin is naturally not good. Due to the lack of moisture, my skin becomes dry, rough, and dull. And because it is often exposed to the sun, the skin will inevitably be damaged and darkened. So, I started to develop skin care products that can improve the condition of the skin. This moisturizing cream and whitening cream are made by me. Moisturizing cream, as the name suggests, helps the skin lock in moisture and makes the skin moisturized; the whitening cream has a good whitening effect and can make the skin whiter."
"Miss Lu, do you still have those two kinds of cream? Can you give me some? Oh, no, can I buy some?" Qiuyu asked anxiously.
Lu Ke'er laughed secretly in her heart.
Sure enough, no matter what era, women’s money is the easiest to make.
Having quickly evaluated the possibility of producing and selling skin care products in her mind, Lu Keer nodded and said, "Of course. However, I have used up these two beauty creams. You may as well try them when I make two more bottles."
"Beauty cream, beauty, this is a good name." Qiu Yu exclaimed repeatedly and thanked Lu Ke'er happily, "Miss Lu, that's great, thank you in advance."
Wei Jinzhi stood aside and watched, thinking that Lu Ke'er, the peasant girl, was amazing.
She lives in a rural village, but she is very eloquent; she can do farm work, fish, and do business...
It only took her a short while to promote her product. It is foreseeable that if all the girls in the town knew that there was such a beauty cream that could make them beautiful, many would rush to buy it.
Even women in counties, state capitals, and even the capital city are willing to spend huge amounts of money to make themselves more beautiful.
Thinking of this, Wei Jinzhi's gaze towards Lu Ke'er became complicated.
