The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

After washing the dishes, Xu Qingye returned to the room. When he saw the thick clothes and cloak neatly folded on the bed, the hot water bottle on the bookcase, and the pair of thick boots on the bottom shelf of the cabinet, a warm feeling rose in his originally calm heart.

He turned his head to look out the window at the slender figure sitting in the yard with her back to him, making medicine, his eyes warm and firm.

……

Song Yuntang prepared the medicine, labeled them one by one, noted the name and purpose of the medicine, and then brought them to Xu Qingye.

"This medicine is for a cold, this one is for a cough, and this one is very effective for reducing fever. The rest are for injuries, some for bruises and sprains, to help heal them. I've also prepared a small roll of clean cotton cloth for bandaging."

After showing these medicines to Xu Qingye one by one, they were neatly placed in a box on the bookshelf.

"I've put all the medicine here. Just use it if you have the corresponding symptoms. If you have any symptoms you can't identify, remember to come home and see me immediately."

"it is good."

She continued, "Everything here is almost arranged. I'll stay one more day tomorrow. I have to go back early the day after tomorrow."

Hearing this, Xu Qingye looked at the book in his hand, but he couldn't concentrate on it.

Song Yuntang glanced at him and went out to pack the medicine box.

After spending so many days with Xu Qingye, she felt a little reluctant to see him leave suddenly.

It's just that the relationship between the two is not too deep, nor is it to the point where they can't live without each other.

She really had to keep an eye on things in town. Xu Qingye had started studying again, and not only was his living expenses higher, but as he got to know more people, the social expenses would gradually increase. He had to hurry up and make money.

After putting the organized medicine box into the room, Song Yuntang half-leaned on the bed, picked up the book under the pillow and started reading.

As I watched, I began to feel sleepy, so I curled up, closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Xu Qingye turned around and saw her curled up with her arms hugged. He stood up quietly and pulled the quilt over her.

……

Soon it was time for Song Yuntang to go back.

She got up very early that day.

The glutinous rice wine made a few days ago was ready. She poured a large bowl of it from the jar and sent it to the Wu family next door. From today on, the job of cooking for Xu Qingye would officially be entrusted to her.

When I returned to the yard, Xu Qingye had already gotten up and finished washing up.

He specially took an hour off yesterday to accompany Song Yuntang to buy medicinal materials, and then send her to the carriage to see

Song Yuntang closed the gate and looked at Xu Qingye and said, "I just said hello to Aunt Wu. From today on, she will bring you lunch and dinner on time. You still need to take good care of your health. You can't be careless about eating and dressing."

Xu Qingye nodded, "I'll go make breakfast."

After saying that, he went to the kitchen.

Song Yuntang wasn't sure if she saw reluctance in Xu Qingye's eyes just now. This man was too patient, so it was difficult for her to guess what he was thinking.

She packed up her medicine box and sorted out the silver in her purse.

It cost nearly two hundred and seventy taels to buy the yard and purchase additional things, but I got one hundred taels from the Zhu Mansion, so I still have two hundred and seventy-two taels in my hand.

I thought I would have to buy some medicinal herbs after dinner.

In order not to delay Xu Qingye's studies, Song Yuntang packed up his things and went to the kitchen to help.

For breakfast, I had eggs with sweet wine, and also fried two sugar-coated shortbreads that Song Yuntang had made yesterday with white flour, sugar, oil, and sesame seeds and saved for this morning.

After breakfast, Xu Qingye picked up Song Yuntang's medicine box and went to the dock with her to purchase medicinal materials.

I don’t know if it’s because of the bad harvest, but this year not only have food prices gone up, but even medicinal herbs have gone up in price.

Food and medicinal materials are what people rely on for survival. If the prices of these two things rise too high, the coming winter will be difficult.

Song Yuntang was worried that the price of medicinal materials would continue to rise, so he took advantage of the fact that the price of medicinal materials had not risen much at the moment and bought medicinal materials worth 220 taels of silver.

Because we purchased a lot, the price was kept lower, and it was not higher than the price of the medicinal materials purchased before.

However, it is not an easy task to transport so many medicinal herbs back to Cile Town at once.

Song Yuntang asked the medicinal herb merchants to deliver most of the herbs to the yard on Liuqiao Street first, and then when Song Jinsheng and others came to the county to deliver the goods, they would bring them back one by one, saving her from spending extra money. This was also much safer than her leading the carriage team to deliver them back by herself.

As for herself, she rented a carriage and left the county town with a carriage full of medicinal herbs.

Xu Qingye wanted to lead the drug dealers back to Liuqiao Street first. It was not convenient for him to send Song Yuntang out of the city gate, so he gave the coachman some instructions before letting them leave.

The carriage stopped as soon as it left Anyang County.

Song Yuntang hurriedly lifted the carriage curtain and asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"

Li Xiuqi's face was filled with joy when he saw Song Yuntang coming out of the carriage.

"Sister Song, it's really you!"

"You are..." Song Yuntang asked uncertainly, "The young master of the Li family?"

The boy quickly smiled and nodded.

"It's me, Li Xiuqi."

Song Yuntang was a little surprised, "I haven't seen you for half a month. The young master has changed a lot. I almost didn't recognize him."

Li Xiuqi smiled a little embarrassedly.

"After Sister Song revived me, I followed Sister Song's instructions and exercised every day. Sister Song's medication was also very effective. The medicine worked immediately and the illness was cured. Naturally, the changes were huge."

Song Yuntang pursed his lips, "How did you know I was in this carriage?"

"Actually, I'm not sure either," the young man said, scratching his head. "Yesterday, my mother arranged three mahjong tables with a dozen other ladies from the county. She heard the county magistrate's wife mention Sister Song, and my mother asked a few more questions. Knowing you were leaving today, I came to the city gate early this morning to wait for you."

Song Yuntang nodded.

"What do you want from me?"

"Yesterday, many ladies heard of your name and wanted to seek medical treatment. If she hadn't known you were leaving today, the county magistrate's wife would have brought them all to see you one by one." Li Xiuqi looked at her. "My family owns a clinic in the county town. I came here today to ask you if you'd ever considered coming to the county town to see patients."

Song Yuntang looked at him.

"I do have plans to open a clinic in the county, but I haven't considered going to another clinic to see patients. I still need to think about this matter."

If you go to another medical clinic for consultation, you will be under their control.

Instead of doing that, she might as well open a small clinic of her own. With the support of the county magistrate's wife, her business would definitely be good.

Li Xiuqi took a box from the follower behind him and handed it to Song Yuntang.

"If I had known that someone as skilled as my sister wouldn't like to be restricted, here's the current situation of our clinic, as well as an agreement. If you want to open a clinic in the county, you can consider cooperating with us. We have a ready-made shop, and you only need to provide someone. The profits will be split 20% to 80%, with you taking 80% and us taking 20%."

A doctor with excellent medical skills will definitely deal with various big families and forces in the future. Extending an olive branch to her before she grows up will only benefit the Li family in the future.
