A renowned ancient physician transmigrates into the body of an abandoned woman, only to be sold off

"What a coincidence! I happen to have one here. He's a distant cousin of mine. He's looking for work right now. You can rest assured about his character, Miss Song. There's absolutely no problem with him."

"Really? That's great! Is he in the county town now?"

"He's not in town right now. Would it be alright if I brought him to your shop tomorrow?"

Manager Xu was still considering whether to bring him to Jixiang Restaurant, but he hadn't told Xiao Yuze yet. Now that he heard that Song Zhili was looking for an accountant, he thought that Song Zhili's treatment should be quite good.

"Alright, since it was recommended by you, Manager Xu, bring your people to the shop to find me after noon tomorrow."

After agreeing on a time with Manager Xu, Song Zhili left Jixiang Restaurant.

She strolled around the streets alone for a while and bought quite a few things. With less than half a month until the New Year, she could buy some New Year's goods now, which wouldn't spoil if stored in her spatial storage.

Song Zhili bought a lot of things one after another, and then found a secluded place to put them into her spatial storage.

Then she remembered what Xia Momo had told her before: not long after the New Year, He Chengjing's father was short of food. She actually had a lot of food in her space, but she still felt it wasn't enough.

So she went to the grain shop and almost swept all the grain out of the shop, which made the shop assistant very happy.

Once all the grain was sold out, he could close the shop early. Seeing that Song Zhili had come to buy grain alone, he inquired about her.

"Young lady, are you here alone to buy this grain? Would you like us to deliver it to your home?"

Hearing the young man say this, Song Zhili nodded and gave him her home address.

Afterwards, Song Zhili went home. When the grain shop clerk delivered the grain, Song Zhili was the only one at home, so she told the clerk to just pile the grain in the yard.

After the worker unloaded all the grain and piled it in the yard, he left.

After he left, Song Zhili moved her mind and stored all the grain in the yard into her spatial storage.

Fortunately, Qingfeng and Qingzhu were not there at the time, otherwise they would have been terrified to death if they had seen this scene.

After Song Zhili finished collecting all the grain, she clapped her hands, turned around, and went back inside to read.

The next day, Manager Xu brought his cousin to the shop. Song Zhili and Hu Cuicui explained to them that this was the accountant she had hired.

From now on, he will be in charge of all the shop's accounts.

Although Hu Cuicui and the others didn't understand why Song Zhili wanted to find someone to manage the money, they all supported her decision.

So Xu Chang, a distant cousin of the shopkeeper, stayed at their shop.

Five or six days later, Song Zhili came to the shop. She went to the backyard and gave each of the aunties who made fish balls a red envelope.

Then he said to them, "The New Year is just around the corner. This is my year-end bonus for you. You don't need to come over from tomorrow. You can come over after the Lantern Festival next year."

Oh, and I've also prepared some rice and meat for you. Come and get your share in a bit.

After thinking for a long time, Song Zhili felt that sending them meat and grain was the most practical thing to do.

When the women heard what Song Zhili said, they all looked at her with gratitude. In their hearts, they felt that Song Zhili was such a good employer, not only providing food and lodging.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, they were even given red envelopes, and could even take home a portion of grain and meat. Each of them wore a joyful expression.

Song Zhili also made them line up one by one to receive food and meat, and each person could receive a small bag of food and a large piece of meat.

After receiving the people, Song Zhili told them to go back directly and not to come back. She also gave the aunties from Peach Blossom Village a holiday, letting them rest in the courtyard for a few days until she could return to Peach Blossom Village with them.

Song Zhili didn't give them the New Year's gifts for the time being, but would give them them all together when she returned to Peach Blossom Village.

Otherwise, if we give it to them now, it will be troublesome to take it back, and it will also easily spoil.

After the aunties and young girls from Luoji Village left, Song Zhili went to the shop in front and took a look.

I noticed that quite a few people were buying fish balls, probably because it's close to the end of the year and everyone wants to eat something good.

Song Zhili arrived at the door and shouted loudly to the outside: "Everyone, our shop will be closed starting tomorrow as we plan to go home for the New Year. If you need to buy anything, please do so today. Please inform each other."

Upon hearing Song Zhili's words, some people who originally didn't want to buy so much ended up buying more because they heard that the store was closing down.

Some of the customers who bought the fish balls told each other, and before they knew it, the number of people queuing at their shop was increasing. Fortunately, Song Zhili and her team had enough fish balls in stock, otherwise they might not have been able to sell them all.

That day, they stayed at their shop until very late, almost 9 p.m., before closing up shop. Hu Cuicui and the others dragged their tired bodies home together.

They had already eaten something at the shop, so after they came back, they washed up and went to sleep.

The next day, Song Ziyuan and Song Ziming also took their annual leave. Song Zhili then discussed with Hu Cuicui and the others that they planned to go back to Peach Blossom Village the next day.

Hu Cuicui and the others readily agreed; they had been away from home for so long and were quite homesick.

After Song Zhili finished speaking, Hu Cuicui led Ji Qingqing and the others to the street to buy New Year's goods. Song Zhili did not go with them.

She hadn't seen He Chengjing these past few days and knew he must be busy. Since he had nothing to do at home, he went out with Song Fang to Jixiang Restaurant. She told Manager Xu that their shop was planning to close for the holidays and that they might not be able to supply fish balls for the time being.

After learning about this, Manager Xu nodded to indicate that he understood, and that their restaurant would also be closed for the holidays in the days leading up to the Chinese New Year.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Manager Xu, Song Zhili and Song Fang left Jixiang Restaurant together and came to the street. Song Zhili noticed that Song Fang's eyes were darting around, so she asked her a question.

"The New Year is just around the corner. Aren't you going to buy some New Year's goods? Don't worry about the carriage not having enough space. We have three carriages. You can buy whatever you need."

When Song Zhili saw that Song Fang hadn't gone out shopping with Hu Cuicui and the others, she found it strange. She thought it was because Song Fang didn't have anything to buy.

But now, seeing her eyes practically glued to the stalls selling New Year's goods, I guessed that she might not be unwilling to buy, but rather afraid that she would buy too much and not be able to take it all back with her.

As expected, Song Zhili was right; that was indeed what she thought.
