You are my golden finger

The masters are among the people.

This was the feeling that came to Lin Xijin's mind after he arrived at the tile kiln.

What caught her eye were all kinds of coarse and fine pottery utensils of various sizes and shapes. Lin Xijin felt that in the future, all kinds of utensils she would use could be customized here in one stop.

After moving through various pottery pieces, Lin Xijin quickly selected the large earthenware jar for wine fermentation and three types of large, medium and small pottery jars for storing wine.

A batch of small porcelain bottles to be used to store medicines were also ordered.

"Master, I have a request. You need to help me add the seal characters "Jiu" and "Lin Mansion" on the pottery jar when it is fired, and also add the characters "Lin Mansion" on the small porcelain bottle. Can you do this?" Lin Xijin made the request.

"That's not a problem." The kiln owner who had taken on a large business naturally agreed.

After leaving the deposit and agreeing on a delivery date, Lin Xijin felt relieved. As for the wine yeast and distiller, Lin Xijin decided to cheat. Shangguan Rui used her wine to make money, so why not use Shangguan Rui's name?

It was early October, and the walls around the house had been completely enclosed, and even the gate had been installed. Once the gate was closed, ordinary people had no way to get in. Lin Xijin looked at the high walls and felt particularly safe.

Lin Muxiong left a few small workers to help the craftsmen build the main house, and the rest went to build simple ancillary projects such as the gatehouse, winery, medicine shop, and training ground.

Lin Xijin plans to keep the old house and use it to raise rabbits and chickens in the future.

Because there were many people involved in the land reclamation, the progress was very fast and the work had already entered the final stage. The clan leader and a few young boys were busy measuring the land and inspecting it. Every day was fulfilling and happy. Xihui and Xinfeng also ran over to help from time to time, just like little foremen.

Not to mention, this actually eliminates the phenomenon of cheating and playing tricks.

Lin Xijin could often find some time to relax. She would go fishing, hunting, and picking herbs in the valley. She spent more time tinkering with herbs, making several bottles of medicine for treating colds and gastrointestinal discomfort.

It was time to find a second way to make money. That day, Lin Xijin carried a basket of herbs and several bottles of finished medicines on her back and got on a carriage to head to the pharmacy. The shopkeeper had already regarded Lin Xijin's arrival as the God of Wealth, and immediately welcomed her to the backyard.

The two were discussing business matters when they heard a noisy voice coming from the pharmacy in front of them: "Doctor, doctor, help!"

Soon, a clerk ran in to find the shopkeeper and said anxiously, "Shopkeeper, there's a woman who's in premature labor who's in shock. Doctor Qian said she can't be saved, and the patient's family is holding a knife to her neck."

The shopkeeper and Lin Xijin hurried out.

The scene was a bit chaotic. A burly man with dark skin held a large saber to the neck of the doctor Qian, who was sitting in the hall. Doctor Qian was so scared that he trembled.

A pregnant woman was lying on the small bed next to her, which was usually used for treatment. Her belly was bulging and blood was dripping everywhere. She had fallen into a coma.

"Stop it, put the knife down if you want your wife's life!"

The big man saw that the person who was speaking was a little girl in her teens, with a small face like a bean. But her expression was full of majesty, making people feel like worshipping her and wanting to believe in her.

The big man relaxed his grip a little and asked doubtfully, "Who can save my wife? You?"

"Yes, it's me. It's up to you to save me or not. If you can, put the knife down immediately."

"Help!" The big man put down the knife obediently.

Lin Xijin ordered the shopkeeper and the waiter: "Prepare an empty room immediately, clear out all the clutter, and prepare a few jars of strong liquor."

The waiter saw her stern expression and did not ask the shopkeeper for permission, but immediately did it. Soon the room was ready, Lin Xijin did a comprehensive disinfection, and asked the big man and the waiter to push the pregnant woman and the bed into the room.

After closing the door, Lin Xijin quickly took out the full set of instruments for caesarean section. Worried that the pregnant woman might wake up during the operation, she gave her general anesthesia.

Soon, the faint cry of a baby could be heard in the room. After Lin Xijin took care of the child, she immediately helped the pregnant woman sew up her abdomen. She also injected her with antibiotics to prevent her from getting an infection.

After doing all this, she came out holding the child.

"How is my wife?" The man took the child and asked about his wife without asking whether it was a boy or a girl.

When Lin Xijin heard the man's question, she was happy for the woman who had just given birth. In ancient times, men had three wives and four concubines. Most men only cared about having fun and passing on their family line, and not many people cared about women's lives. The man asked his wife first, which showed that he was a man of good character.

Lin Xijin was satisfied and felt that this man was a good match and could perhaps become her next friend.

"What is your name, please? Hand the child to the nanny next to you, and then do a simple disinfection with strong liquor. Come in with me." Lin Xijin said to the big man.

"My last name is Wu, and I'm known as General Wu." The big man replied, and immediately disinfected his entire body as Lin Xijin requested.

Lin Xijin was a little surprised when she heard that he was a general. But she was calm enough and didn't make a fuss. After watching him disinfected, she took him into the delivery room.

"Your baby was delivered by caesarean section. You must take good care of the mother in the later stages, and make sure that no water seeps into the incision on the abdomen. You cannot feed the mother for the time being. You must wait until she wakes up and help her get out of bed and walk around. Only after the gas is exhausted can you give her some light soup."

"Mothers are particularly susceptible to infection these days, so you must not let outsiders into the delivery room. I will come for a follow-up visit tomorrow." Lin Xijin explained to General Wu one by one how to take care of the mother in the next few days, left some medicine to prevent fever, and then prepared to leave.

General Wu was stunned when he heard that Lin Xijin had performed a caesarean section on his wife to deliver the baby. Although he had seen all kinds of injuries in the army, including many with skin torn and intestines pierced, he really couldn't imagine that a person could be alive and well after the stomach was cut open and sewn back together.

He was like a puppet, his whole body seemed to be in a cloud of fog. Apart from the repeated humming of "no", no one knew how to react.

It was not until Lin Xijin and the shopkeeper finished their business and left that General Wu reacted.

"Thank you, young lady, for saving my wife and children! I will come to your house to thank you some other day." He mechanically handed over a silver note, clasped his fists in salute, and thanked repeatedly.

After getting on the carriage, Lin Xijin took out the banknote and took a look. Wow, it was worth one thousand taels! She secretly sighed at her luck. It seemed that an unintentional act of saving someone had allowed her to hold on to a golden thigh again.

For several days, Lin Xijin came as promised to inject antibiotics and change the dressing for Mrs. Wu. Mrs. Wu was able to get out of bed and move around freely soon. She was a good-looking woman with a cheerful personality. Mrs. Wu was even more grateful when she knew that it was Lin Xijin who pulled her back from the gates of hell and saved her life.

That day, Lin Xijin changed the medicine for Madam Wu and was about to leave when she was stopped by the shopkeeper.

"Miss Lin, do you still have the medicine you brought a few days ago? People have been coming to look for it these past two days."

Lin Xijin was a little surprised. Can it be promoted so quickly? I thought it would take some time.

The last time she brought the medicine, Lin Xijin brought ten bottles of each kind of medicine and told the shopkeeper that the medicine this time was a trial pack, which could be given to patients who volunteered to use the medicine for free on a one-day trial basis. If they wanted more, they would have to pay for it themselves.

"Miss Lin, you don't know that those patients who tried the patent medicine all got better very quickly. They felt that the patent medicine was very effective and easier to take and more convenient than the bitter prescription. They didn't want to drink the bitter medicine anymore. Some customers even wanted to buy some to keep in case of emergency."

Lin Xijin thought that since the market had been opened, this line could not be broken, so she had to cheat first and take out a small amount of finished medicines from the space to maintain the operation of the market.

"Shopkeeper, I don't have any herbs, so I made very few finished medicines. I still have a small amount at home. Can you think of a way to do this? I'll make a list, and you can help me prepare some herbs? The money for the herbs will be deducted from the money you paid for the finished medicines."

"Good good!"

The shopkeeper quickly prepared a list of medicinal materials. He saw that the list was full of common medicinal materials that he had in his own medicine shop. In order to get the finished medicine as soon as possible, he immediately agreed to deliver the medicinal materials tomorrow.
