Chapter 250: Xu Qinghe, a fool with good fortune
"Don't worry, Master Xu. We won't starve. Grandpa Wang just gave each of us two big steamed buns. We were full after eating just one."
Li Xiao replied with a smile, How can I not be full?
Steward Wang not only gave each of them two large steamed buns, but also served them a large bowl of sticky rice porridge.
After eating these, they felt warm all over and ran around more happily.
The steamed buns they couldn't finish and the handful of copper coins that Butler Wang secretly gave them were all given to their mother.
At this time, Lin and Tiedan's mother had already returned with their heavy baskets.
Seeing that Li Xiao had already run into the crowd again, Xu Qinghe laughed and cursed him as a bad boy.
When he turned around again, he found that Yan Laosan had already drunk all the medicine and was smacking his lips with a bitter look. He couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Yan probably doesn't drink bitter medicine soup very often, right? He looks healthy."
This cold medicine is not very bitter, but the man looks like this, obviously he seldom takes medicine.
But he didn't suspect anything. He just thought that the other person didn't like to see a doctor, or maybe he was short of money.
Xu Qinghe sighed and took out the last small bottle of cold pills from his arms.
"This pill is not only more effective, but also very convenient to take. Just take it with warm water, and there is no bitter taste at all."
He stuffed the medicine bottle into Yan Laosan's hand and gave him some instructions on usage and dosage.
"This thing is really novel. How much money does it cost?"
Yan Laosan held the medicine bottle in his hand and felt around his body with his other hand. He couldn't find anything valuable, not even a copper coin. He felt very embarrassed and glared at the person in the distance.
"Hey... I get along well with you as soon as I see you, so why would you need money?"
Xu Qinghe was too embarrassed to look at Yan Laosan's embarrassed look, so he smiled and turned his gaze towards the wooden shed.
"These pills are made of common medicinal materials, so they are not worth much. Even if my pharmacy opens in the future, I can just sell them at cost price."
He heard this from Yuxiu, who arranged it for him. She said that these common medicines were sold to neighbors, and they were not sold for profit. They only needed to be charged at cost price.
As for how to make money, it's simple. Just make some high-end medicines, such as health-preserving pills, rejuvenation pills, and golden gun pills...
As long as these things are made, with so many rich people in the capital, why would they worry about not making money?
I guess by then people will come to your door with money and beg to buy it.
Yan Laosan was stunned for a moment because he didn't expect Xu Qinghe to say that.
If these best-selling medicines are only charged at cost price, how can we make any money?
Isn't that a good deed?
"Of course, doing good deeds is admirable, but we also have to consider other aspects, such as other pharmacies and medical clinics. Will they have any objections?"
Yan Laosan couldn't help but laugh. He had also sent people to investigate this family. If they didn't have the halo of being a disciple of a miracle doctor, they would be just ordinary people and certainly wouldn't be able to consider things so thoroughly.
"This is the capital city. There are many medical clinics and pharmacies. Most of them have backers. It doesn't matter if you just do small things. But if you make a big move and ruin other people's business, you will definitely get into trouble."
This was also a kind reminder from his side. Xu Qinghe frowned and immediately bowed to him.
"Thank you, Brother Yan, for reminding us. We will discuss this matter with our family when we return and try to be more thorough."
"Hahahaha... I just said a few words, why are you so polite? In that case, I should thank you for giving me this pill..."
Yan Laosan waved his hand, as if there was nothing to be shy about.
The two of them were having a pleasant conversation here when Lord Yao, the Jingzhao Yin, hurried over with his men.
When he saw Xu Qinghe from a distance, he could hardly believe his eyes and raised his sleeve to wipe it several times.
That's right, it's him!
Lord Yao looked at Xu Qinghe who was talking and couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.
No wonder the old saying goes, "Fools have good luck." Maybe this is referring to people like Xu Qinghe.
Don't be fooled by his honest appearance, he has very good luck.
Not only did he marry the disciple of a genius doctor, but he also happened to meet a noble person who helped him even though he fell off a cliff. Now that he has come to the capital, he still has such a great opportunity.
Lord Yao felt sad and was still hesitating whether to go over when he was stopped by several people next to him.
Well, even if he wanted to go over, it would be impossible.
Lord Yao made a prompt decision and decided that he must get along better with Xu Qinghe in the future, or at least try not to offend him.
Xu Qinghe chatted with Yan Laosan for a while, and before they knew it, a long time had passed. The activity of distributing porridge and medicine was coming to an end. The number of people lining up gradually decreased, and soon the scene became empty. Each family began to do some finishing work.
"I heard that you will hold this event for several days? Is it true?"
Yan Laosan asked, and Xu Qinghe nodded quickly and gave an affirmative answer.
"Except today, there are still four days. If there are still people who don't know about Brother Yan, you can help shout and come to get rice and food. Each family will also be given steamed buns. As for my family's cold medicine, even if you are healthy, you can drink a bowl of it as a preventive measure..."
It may be because everyone gathered together this time, and there is a mentality of comparison and competition among the mansions of each family, so the things they gave were very good.
In previous years, there would be black flour steamed buns, but today they have all been replaced by large white flour steamed buns. In particular, a few families have made large meat buns, which made him, even though he had a full meal, feel greedy.
From this we can see that as long as the people are not afraid of hard work, after these five days, each family will be able to save some food.
If the cold is cured, shouldn't we have a happy New Year?
Whenever Xu Qinghe thought about it, he felt happy for everyone from the bottom of his heart.
It is true that Xu Qinghe is happy, but some people are not happy at all.
"Come on, open your eyes and look carefully. It's all white. Where are your so-called refugees?"
On the city wall, Xu Linzhi was pushed to the edge of the wall by a young man, who pointed at her and started to scold her.
"Tell me, where are the people? Where are they? If you can't find a refugee for me today, I'll just throw you out of here and let you be a refugee outside!"
