Chapter 216 Generous gift
The old man shook his head: "It is not difficult to prepare Shexiang Baoxin Pills, but the difficulty lies in the medicinal materials."
The woman was stunned. She thought the old man was raising the price. After all, musk was very expensive.
"It doesn't matter how much it costs, we will pay as long as it saves my son's life!" she said.
The old man looked embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, our small medical clinic in this town does not have rare medicinal materials like musk in its warehouse."
"What about other medical clinics in town?"
"We in Yihechun are the most well-stocked medical clinic in town..."
What Yihechun doesn't have, other medical clinics are even less likely to have.
When the woman heard this, she felt as if she had fallen into a basin of cold water.
"Xiao Cui, what should I do? What should I do?"
The woman grabbed the maid's hand and murmured in panic.
The maid has no idea either.
The driver said: "Woman, if it doesn't work, I'll go back to the county town to get it!"
"The round trip from the town to the county seat is nearly a hundred miles, and it will take at least two hours. I'm afraid the young master won't be able to wait any longer!"
The old man said.
"As long as there is musk, I can prepare musk-flavored Baoxin Pills within half an hour. What a pity... ugh!"
The old man shook his head, turned around and walked towards the counter.
A doctor has a parent-like heart. It’s not that he refuses to save someone, but it’s really hard for a clever woman to make a plan without straw!
Here, the panicked woman threw herself next to the child and cried loudly: "My son..."
"Musky is coming!"
A crisp voice suddenly broke in.
The woman was immersed in the grief of losing her beloved son and did not pay attention to the cry.
"Women, don't cry, I have musk to save your son!"
The voice sounded again, like the sound of nature.
The woman suddenly raised her head and saw a fat country girl walking from the lobby.
In her hand, she also held a piece of yellowish-brown, furry dried stuff.
A flash of light flashed in the woman's eyes, and she rushed to Yang Ruoqing like a gust of wind.
She clutched the piece of musk tightly with both hands, just like a drowning person grabbing a floating floating board.
"Is it musk? It really is musk! My son is saved!"
The woman shouted excitedly, laughing with tears in her eyes.
The old man heard the sound and ran over quickly. He took the musk from the woman's hand and looked at it carefully before his eyes.
He pinched a little bit with his nails, rubbed it between his fingers and smelled it. The old man also became excited.
"It's musk musk! The color is so good, it's very effective as a medicine!"
"Old doctor, then hurry up and help my young master prepare Musk Baoxin Pills!" the little maid urged from the side.
However, both the old man and the woman looked at Yang Ruoqing.
The old man had a complicated look on his face. He never expected that this humble country girl would have such a good thing!
No wonder I pestered him to ask about the prices of so many medicinal materials.
The old man's face became a little kinder, and he smiled and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Little girl, our medical clinic has collected this musk, and I will give you eight hundred coins a piece, how about it?"
Yang Ruoqing took the musk directly from the old man's hand and smiled.
"Old doctor, didn't you say before that musk is sold for one tael of silver?"
"That's the price our medical clinic sells it for after processing. The purchase price is 800 yuan. We also have to earn a little difference in price and labor costs, right?"
Yang Ruoqing made no sound.
The old man glanced at the musk in Yang Ruoqing's hand and was really envious of it.
"One price, eight hundred and ninety cents a piece!"
Yang Ruoqing still smiled and did not express her position.
The woman next to me stamped her feet anxiously when she saw this.
"It's time, so don't bother with hundreds of coins anymore. I'll take one tael of silver and one cent!"
The woman said and asked the maid to take the silver.
Not to mention one tael of silver per penny, but ten taels of silver per penny. As long as it can save my son’s life, it’s worth it!
"Wait a minute."
Yang Ruoqing suddenly raised her hand.
She asked the old man: "How much musk will you need to prepare her son's musk Baoxin pills later?"
The old man thought for a moment and said, "One or two."
Yang Ruoqing nodded and walked to the counter over there.
"I'll lend you your knife."
As she spoke, she picked up a knife and cut off about a pound of weight from the musk, and handed it to the woman.
"I gave these two ounces of musk to Madam. Madam, please take it and prepare medicine for the young master!"
The woman was startled.
She looked at the musk that Yang Ruoqing handed over.
One tael of silver is worth one penny of musk. If this little girl gives it away like this, it will be worth ten taels of silver!
Just now, this little girl was arguing with the old shopkeeper of the medical clinic over the price difference of one or two hundred cents.
Are you so generous now?
"Madam, hurry up and take it, hurry up and prepare the medicine to save your life!"
Yang Ruoqing urged again.
The lady came to her senses, took the musk, turned and handed it to the old man.
"Little girl, what's your name? Where do you live? If my son survives this, I will come back to say thank you!"
Here, the woman held Yang Ruoqing's hand and asked warmly.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head: "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. By helping your son, I am also doing good deeds for my parents and two younger brothers."
"Oh? You also have younger brothers at home? My son is only six years old. How old are your younger brothers?"
"My eldest brother is two years older than your son, and my younger brother is two years younger than your son."
"oh!"
"Madam, please go and take care of your son quickly. I'll discuss something with the old doctor here!" Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.
"Hey, okay, don't leave until you finish talking, I still have something to ask you!"
"Um."
Watching the woman enter the diagnosis room where New Year's greetings were held, the gauze curtain immediately fell down, and Yang Ruoqing turned around and walked towards the counter.
The old man was busy preparing medicine there. He weighed all the medicinal materials needed to make Shexiang Baoxin Pills and put them together as much as possible.
Then, he carefully instructed his two apprentices to grind it into powder.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing approaching, the old man guessed her purpose.
After he finished his instructions, he hurriedly came over to Yang Ruoqing.
With his eyes still focused on the remaining musk in her hand, the old man discussed with Yang Ruoqing in a very sincere tone.
"Little girl, you should sell the remaining musk to our medical center!"
"With the price of eight hundred cents a piece, there is no medical clinic in Qingshui Town that can beat this price!"
"Sending it to the county seat will cost a few cents at most, but it's a journey of nearly a hundred miles, isn't it?"
He persuaded me earnestly, and although he was a businessman, what he said was quite truthful.
Yang Ruoqing thought about it and thought it was okay. But she had to ask Luo Fengtang's opinion.
So, she turned her head and spoke to Luo Fengtang, who had been following silently beside her.
"Tangyazi..."
"Don't ask me, you have the final say." He smiled slightly.
Yang Ruoqing nodded, turned around and said to the old man who was already waiting there: "Deal!"
