Chapter 17 Three Silver Needles
Poor young master, his father had been away on military expeditions for many years. After his wife died, the young master had been suffering from illness and pain, so his father arranged to send him to the countryside. Unexpectedly, he was not sick at all, but had been poisoned!
Shopkeeper Chen was extremely angry. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Xinyao: "Miss Wang, since you can tell what's wrong with my young master at a glance, you must understand pharmacology. Could you please help treat him?" He had been with the young man since he was a child and had long regarded him as his own child!
Wang Xinyao was still not used to others kneeling to her, so she immediately asked Manager Chen to get up quickly!
"I understand a little bit, but I don't have any silver needles!" Wang Xinyao said regretfully. She also wanted to earn this money. After all, if the patient was cured, the consultation fee would definitely be quite high!
At this time, Chen Liangxian coughed lightly and said, "Miss Wang, this is the silver needle left by my ancestors. Do you think it can be used?" Then he took out a cloth bag from his arms and opened it to Wang Xinyao: "As long as you can cure me, this silver needle will be yours!"
The silver needles were slender and gleaming, like tiny beams of silver light. Their tips were incredibly sharp, gleaming with a chilling glint. They were arranged in neat rows, as if imbued with an endless supply of mysterious power.
Eighty-one silver needles, capable of the Nine Nines Return to One Acupuncture Method, could perfectly cure Young Master Chen's chronic poison! Seeing these silver needles, Wang Xinyao felt compelled to treat him, but not today. She needed to go shopping! So, she said, "Tomorrow. I'll try to come early and bring you the goods!"
"Okay! Miss Wang, I'll give you this pair of silver needles now?" Chen Liangxian said generously!
Wang Xinyao was a bit surprised. After all, she hadn't even started treatment yet, and he trusted her so much? But she didn't hesitate. Since he trusted her so much, she had to cure him out of that trust. She immediately clasped her fists and said, "Thank you, Master Chen!"
After coming out of Qingnian Building, Wang Xinyao went to the rice shop. This time she bought 20 kilograms of white flour and 30 kilograms of rice. There are many children in the family, and they are all in the growing period, including herself. They must eat something good to keep up with nutrition!
Then, she went to the butcher's shop. It was almost afternoon, and they still had meat for sale. That's right, not many people can afford meat in this society! Since she didn't have much oil at home, she bought some fat meat, planning to go back and make oil. When she asked about the price of lean meat, she found it was even cheaper than fat. Having never known how to save money, she weighed three pounds of lean meat without hesitation. She couldn't help but grumble, "It feels so good to be rich!"
The next step was to go shopping in a clothing store. There were relatively few ready-made clothes in the store, and the ones that suited her were very expensive. The ones that required relatively more fabric, and she felt that the coarse cloth was too uncomfortable to wear, so she bought three bundles of clothes in different colors. The blue one could make clothes for Wang Yuan, after all, his clothes had too many holes!
Because Wang Xinyao took a lot of cloth, the shopkeeper Hua couldn't stop smiling. She had only seen rich people buying cloth one by one, but she had never seen a woman wearing patched clothes taking three pieces at a time!
When Wang Xinyao left, Shopkeeper Hua happily gave her a bag of rags and said, "Sister, you bought so much, you must have many children at home. I'll give you all of these and you can take them back to make shoe soles!"
Then, Wang Xinyao went to the grocery store again and bought a lot of candy. She put a lot of chestnuts in her space. She would prepare the candied chestnuts tonight. Maybe she could sell them for a good price tomorrow. They were rare items!
This time when they went to buy salt, the shopkeeper didn't look at her straight in the eye at first, but when he saw Wang Xinyao take away thirty bags of salt at once, he immediately became fawning! Wang Xinyao really didn't want to see this fat man often, so she took a little more at once.
After strolling around for a while and buying a few more items, she felt she had bought enough and headed home. When she was alone, she put all her purchases into the space!
Then, as she walked, she counted her remaining money. Only a hundred taels remained! A wry smile played on her face, and she thought to herself, "I haven't even bought the bed yet, but I've already spent two-thirds of my money. I don't always make three hundred taels every day. I'm really not making enough money to keep up with the pace of spending. I guess I'll have to work harder to make money in the future!"
Because her body had returned to the state of her previous life, Wang Xinyao walked very fast. When she was about to reach the door of her house, she took out the things she bought in a place where no one was around. When the children saw her coming back, they all ran to the gate of the yard to greet her. Seeing that she was covered with things, they were full of joy and helped her take the things back to the room!
In the evening, we had white rice and stir-fried meat with mushrooms. The children were very satisfied with the meal, especially Chen Jingyuan. He never dreamed that he could eat such delicious food in this rural area!
Seeing that it was not too late, Wang Xinyao brought the cloth to her second aunt's house and asked who in the village was better at needlework. The answer was her second aunt!
"Hello, Second Aunt!" Second Aunt's house was not far away, and they arrived soon!
At this time, Second Aunt was cooking dinner. She said she was cooking, but in fact she was making black-faced steamed buns. Her two sons were still working in the fields! Looking at Wang Xinyao, who was carrying three bundles of cloth, she was surprised and said, "Niece-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Second Aunt, I dug some medicinal herbs in the mountains and exchanged them for some silver. Now that the weather is getting colder, I want to make some clothes for the children!" Wang Xinyao immediately explained, "I'd like to ask Second Aunt to make two sets of clothes for each of our family of five!"
Liu Dongxiang had also heard that Wang Xinyao had found her brother. She had also seen the half-grown boy from afar. Seeing so much cloth, it would be a lie to say she wasn't envious. She was actually happy for her: "Niece-in-law, have you eaten yet? Why don't you come to my house for some food? Leave the clothes to me!"
"Thank you, auntie. I've already eaten." Wang Xinyao saw that she agreed so readily and didn't mention anything about money, so she immediately stuffed a tael of silver into her hand. After all, it was easy for her to make money, but it was too difficult for her second aunt to make money. She could just take this opportunity to help her. What's more, it would take a long time to make ten sets of clothes!
When Liu Dongxiang saw that it was one or two taels of silver, she immediately refused. Even if calculated based on the labor cost, it wouldn't cost that much money!
"Auntie, just take it. I made quite a bit of money from selling medicine this time. After you help us make these clothes, I will still have a lot of scraps of cloth. I will have to trouble you to make cloth shoes for me later! If you don't take it, I won't let you make it. Can you bear to see us without clothes to wear?" Wang Xinyao said hurriedly!
Hearing her say this and seeing that she had bought three bolts of cloth at once, Liu Dongxiang thought that she was not short of money, so she put the money away! They were all from a poor family, and this one or two taels of silver was a huge sum of money for them. If she could save some more in the future, she might be able to afford to marry a daughter-in-law!
Next, Wang Xinyao came to the village chief’s house!
Seeing Wang Xinyao coming, everyone came forward to greet her. They all knew that Wang Xinyao was selling ginseng and medicinal herbs, and their families had also benefited from it. They wondered how long it would take for her to save up five taels of silver!
"Hello, Uncle Village Chief, Hello, Auntie, Hello, Brother Dagang, Hello, Sister-in-law, Hello, Brother Xiaogang!" Wang Xinyao is always grateful to this family no matter when and where she is. "I came here this time to ask Brother Dagang to make a wider bed for me. After all, my brother is here and it's really hard to sleep!"
"Okay, sister-in-law, no problem!" Xie Dagang said with a naive smile!
"Uncle and aunt, village chief, why don't you just call me by my name? Brother Niu and I haven't even performed the ceremony of husband and wife yet!" Wang Xinyao was still not used to being called that!
"Okay, Sister Xinyao!" Xie Juhua immediately stepped forward and took Wang Xinyao's hand!
"Yes, yes, Xinyao, we were inconsiderate enough!" The village chief's wife is Li Cuiying, and she is also a very discerning person. If it were her, she might not like being called that!
But Xie Zhengyi was not very natural. He suddenly changed his name and it seemed that he couldn't pronounce it all of a sudden!
Wang Xinyao continued, "Brother Dagang, I don't have any wood at home, so I might need you to get some for me! Here's five taels of silver, take it and consider it my money to buy the wood!"
"You don't have to pay me, I'll do it for you!" Xie Dagang declined!
"Don't worry, keep it. I know a little about pharmacology, and there will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future! And I'm not giving it to you for free. You built me a bed, so this is what you deserve. Besides, you're the only carpenter in our village." She then looked at Xie Xiaogang and said, "Brother Xiaogang, tomorrow morning you'll follow me on the oxcart to deliver the goods. From now on, I'll take over your oxcart and pay you one or two taels of silver every month. Are you happy with that?"
"Okay, thank you, sister!" Xie Xiaogang was very happy. If calculated according to the past, he would earn at most 80 wen per month, but now it is one tael of silver, which is who knows how many times more.
