"There's been a lot going on in the Wind Camp lately. My sister doesn't even have time to take a vacation. A few days ago, I went home to visit my mother, and she complained that we were heartless and didn't even come home to visit."

Now Meng Zhuxin no longer has to worry about her marriage, nor does she have to try every possible way to please her parents. What bothers her most every day is that there are too many patients coming to get medicine, and she and her husband are just ordinary people. They cannot be like gods, blowing a breath of fairy air to cure the patients' diseases.

"Sister-in-law, my husband and I have set up a special area in the branch and would like to invite doctors to come and see patients because I have found that the patients who come to get medicine are, to a large extent, very superficial in the use of medicinal materials."

Yuan Buwei slowed down and listened carefully: "Go on."

"Just before, we met a family member who came to get medicine. As a result, the patient drank the medicine for several days in a row, but the disease not only did not get better, but became worse. The family member was so angry that he came to the pharmacy to make trouble. We took out the prescription he had written and compared it one by one and found that there was no problem. But he said that the patient did not get better after taking the medicine. My husband did not believe it, so he went with him in person. As a result, we found that every time he boiled the medicine, he boiled the water and then gave it to the patient to drink. Boiling medicine, boiling medicine, must be boiled. If he didn’t boil it, and just boiled it like this, what effect could it have?"

"I understand what you mean. You mean that many people who come to get medicine don't know how to decoct it. Even if you tell them the steps, they only have a vague understanding?"

"Yes, that's right. Some medicines need to be decocted first, while others need to be added last. Some people don't understand this and go home and cook all of them together. As a result, the medicines don't work well, and they blame us instead."

"There are four things you must not do when boiling Chinese medicine: you must not be impatient, you must not make mistakes, you must not be chaotic, and you must not be rough. Families with servants will ask the servants to boil the medicine, but poor people don't have so many requirements. They may come to the pharmacy to get the medicine, and then rush back home to work in the fields." Yuan Buwei thought for a while and said, "It would be better to change the place originally used for doctors to be a place for boiling medicine. As for the fee, don't charge too much, just a few coins."

"Decoction of Chinese medicine for you? Wouldn't that increase the workload for the guys?"

"You can recruit apprentices who specialize in decocting Chinese medicine. They must have a certain foundation. They should start as apprentices and gradually become familiar with the entire process of the medicine shop, and finally go to the counter to get medicine, or go to the backyard to prepare medicinal materials. Take the preparation of medicinal materials as an example. If you want to master all the skills, you can't do it without ten years of hard work. Moreover, many medicinal materials in medicine shops nowadays are a mixture of real and fake, which will greatly affect the efficacy of the medicine."

Meng Zhuxin listened very seriously: "Although my husband and I know a lot of medicinal herbs, we still have only a limited understanding of how to prepare them. But we have also thought about it. We can't always rely on Yaowang Valley. If we have recruited enough people, we will start with the simplest medicinal herbs. When we become more proficient and find some tricks, we can be more radical. But this is just our idea. I don't know if it's right?"

"Zhu Xin, this is your strength. You always keep a humble heart and keep learning and improving. My senior sister often says that people should keep learning until they die. What they learn is theirs. Others can't take it away even if they want to. In addition, you have ideas, which can provide a lot of jobs. This can solve some livelihood problems. Only in this way can the development of an industry be driven."

"Sister-in-law, you said it so well. I can't think of the words you said."

"These are all what Senior Sister told me. I asked her before, how come you have such ideals and ambitions? Why don't you fight for yourself?" Yuan Buwei couldn't help laughing every time she mentioned Senior Sister. "Senior Sister left in a hurry before. Next time she has a chance to come, I will let her stay for a while."

"Okay, then we can discuss all these things when we meet my husband. If everyone agrees, we can arrange it as soon as possible. Sister-in-law, what do you think..."

"Zhu Xin, I just suggested it at the beginning. The operation of the medicine shop till now and the opening of branches are all due to your hard work and efforts, so..." Yuan Buwei looked at Meng Zhu Xin with a smile, "You and my second brother can make the decision. If you don't understand or can't make up your mind, please come and discuss it with me."

Meng Zhuxin looked at Yuan Buwei and gave her a sweet smile after a while: "Sister-in-law, it's great to have you around. Our big family is so united because of you. Just like what happened to my brother this time, I can't imagine what he would do if you were not here?"

"I haven't appeared in his life in the past 20 years, but he lives a good life and has achieved great success. So I don't think he will become self-destructive if I'm not by his side." Yuan Buwei looked up at the sky, "On the contrary, I believe that he can get through the difficulties on his own, but the process will be a little more difficult."

"What the elder sister-in-law said makes sense. When I return, I will also encourage my husband in the same way."

"Ah? You want to spur your second brother on?" Yuan Buwei smiled. "Last time you quarreled with your second brother, he came to find me. I was busy at that time. He followed me wherever I went. He kept looking at me with pitiful eyes, as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. Later, when I had some free time, I asked him why he quarreled with you, but he hesitated and didn't say anything. Zhuxin, why did you two quarrel?"

"This one……"

Meng Zhuxin blushed suddenly: "Actually, it's nothing."

"Nothing's wrong, why is he so nervous?" Yuan Buwei looked around and saw that there were no people around. She leaned close to Meng Zhuxin and asked in a low voice, "What's the discord between you two?"

"No, no." Meng Zhuxin's face flushed instantly, "He is... He is... I don't know how to explain it. Forget it, I'll just tell my sister-in-law. I think he is very afraid of me."

"Afraid of you?" Yuan Buwei was puzzled. "You are not a lion or a tiger, why would he be afraid of you?"

"I'm worried because I don't know, and I've discovered that he seems to have some obstacles towards me." Meng Zhuxin had never thought before that there would be problems when it came to having sex with her husband, whom she also liked.

"Let's go to the pharmacy first and talk about it after we see my second brother."

Yuan Buwei pulled Meng Zhuxin into the carriage.

The pharmacy is not far from the inn and can be reached in half an hour.

When the two men entered the room, Lu Bing was still making final arrangements with the servants.

"Second brother, when you are done, come to our room and find us. Zhuxin and I will go for a walk in the backyard first."

"Okay, sister-in-law." Lu Bing didn't know that a storm was waiting for him. His mind was full of thoughts that his sister-in-law would definitely praise him when she saw how well decorated the branch was.
