Chapter 536 Consultation fees and medicine money
Chapter 536 Consultation fees and medicine money
Xiang Ci stood up and came to Xiang Liying. Watching him pick up the herbs quickly, he was shocked and admired.
Her heart moved and she asked: "Do you know the efficacy of nectar water?"
"I know." Xiang Liying paused slightly while picking up the herbs. "You want to ask why you asked him to buy ginseng powder but didn't tell him to drink nectar water to nourish his body?"
Xiang Ci was happy: "You are a smart man."
"Well, I'm smarter than you." Xiang Liying glanced at the herbs and was able to accurately pick out the herbs he wanted.
Xiang Ci smiled angrily: "You are sober, let's talk about it."
Xiang Liying looked back at Xiang Ci, looking at her with an expression that said she was a fool: "Didn't you say you wanted to collect some medical fees for my father and buy a new dress for my mother?"
"If he was allowed to drink nectar water to nourish his body, it would be free. Since he had no money, he was asked to buy ginseng powder."
"Besides, you were the first to ask him to buy ginseng powder. I just followed your words."
"My dad said you have a photographic memory, but why do I feel like you forget things just as you think about them?"
Xiang Ci: "..."
Xiang Wan covered her lips and smiled softly, and Xiang Ling also rarely laughed out loud.
Erya's eyes were bright, looking at this person and that person, grinning along with her lips.
Being with them is really comfortable, enjoyable, and joyful.
Even happier than listening to those gossips.
Xiang Ci, who was grinding his teeth angrily, put two taels of silver into his hand: "Take it, wait until the weather gets better, buy new clothes for Mistress, and give Mistress something good to eat."
Xiang Liying looked at the two taels of silver in his palm and fell silent.
Finally, he slowly clenched the silver in his hand and nodded solemnly to Xiang Ci: "I will."
When the weather gets better, that is, when this natural disaster passes and everything returns to normal, he will pay back everything he owed his mother.
Xiang Ci returned to the table and sat down, taking a breath and grinding his teeth. This boy was very smart, but he kept stabbing her.
He even called her stupid.
Is she stupid?
She is extremely wise and foolish.
Humph, you are so good at stabbing people at a young age, but when you grow up, you still don’t know how to harm girls.
The villagers asking for spiritual spring water continued in an orderly manner. Xiang Ci also took the place of Doctor Xiang Ling, and at this time another villager was welcomed.
When the villagers heard that Xiao Qi said that the consultation fee was five copper coins, they hesitated and said: "Then... can the medicine... have the money?"
...with food instead? "
His family didn't have many copper coins in the first place, and every time he took out one, he lost one.
Moreover, his mother kept all the coins. If he wanted to steal the coins from his mother, the family would really be in a state of chaos.
But asking his mother for food would definitely work.
Because Xiao Qi casts magic on the crop fields to accelerate the growth of the grain, isn't this grain valuable?
In this way, the copper that is deeply ingrained in their hearts becomes priceless.
It's no big deal if it can be offset by grains and vegetables.
Xiang Ci subconsciously glanced at Xiang Liying, who nodded slightly, and she agreed: "Okay."
Xiang Liying's family has no money, and he only relies on his mother and eldest brother to farm the land. There is not much food.
It would also be nice to be able to use food instead of money for medicinal herbs.
Furthermore, Dr. Xiang Ling also accepted food in lieu of medicine money.
Then the villager smiled: "Okay, here are five copper coins. I'll give them to you first."
"I said this is what Lao Zhong should do. Even if we are from the same village, we still have to eat and wear clothes, right?"
"Lao Zhong is a kind-hearted person, but he still has to charge a consultation fee, not to mention that he has given us such great convenience in medicinal herbs."
The villagers talked a lot, and finally ran home to carry ten kilograms of grain and exchanged three pairs of herbs for home.
Xiang Ci didn't quite understand the market, so he asked Xiang Liying: "Are you losing money?"
"It won't be a loss if you give it." Xiang Liying looked at the ten kilograms of grain and smiled, "It depends on the market, so it won't be a loss."
“It’s not a waste to grow your own herbs and dig them from the mountains.”
Xiang Ci frowned slightly and looked at Xiang Wan: Why do I hear this is a loss?
Xiang Wan blinked: Lose.
Xiang Ci suddenly realized it, but said nothing more.
Even if it is a loss, it is better than giving nothing as before.
That's why Xiang Liying said it was not a loss, because it was better than he imagined.
He was also afraid of troublesome them, and also afraid that the villagers would say that his father was unkind, which would make it difficult for his father.
Xiang Wan shook his head lightly. This kid thought too much, but his heart was good.
In the following time, more than a dozen villagers came to send medical fees and medicine fees, saying that they were not well-off before, so they only sent them now, and asked Dr. Xiang Ling for his forgiveness.
Some give copper coins, some give grain, and some give half copper coins and half grain.
The words were picked up and said, making both parties happy.
Xiang Liying's eyes turned red with joy. This was the first time in his life that he had seen so many copper coins.
Mom saw it, so she shouldn’t argue with dad again, right?
Dad shouldn’t live in the Empress’ Temple anymore and not come home, right?
He would tell his mother not to kick his father out of the house.
……
Dr. Xiang Ling, who was proudly approved by Xiang Li, was beaming with joy, and the corners of his mouth were grinning happily to the back of his ears.
"Uncle Zhongzi!"
Doctor Xiang Ling heard the other party calling her and hurriedly responded: "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
This is his professional habit.
It is also because of his profession that when others ask, of course they want to see a doctor, so he naturally wants to ask others what their illness is.
The villager chuckled and shook his head: "I'm not uncomfortable at all, I just yelled for you."
Doctor Xiang Ling looked at the other party walking away in confusion and muttered: "The body is not sick, but the brain is sick?"
After walking a few steps, another villager shouted to Doctor Xiang Ling: "Zhongzi, where have you gone?"
"Ah, I just came back from Li Zheng." Doctor Xiang Ling frowned as he looked at this younger and more senior youngster, "What's wrong with you?"
The young man smiled and shook his head: "I'm not uncomfortable, I just called you."
Doctor Xiang Ling was even more confused. When he wanted to ask a few more questions, the other party had already greeted him and left.
Next, when he met several people, they all greeted him with gentle smiles and extremely attentive attitudes.
This made Monk Xiang Ling, Doctor Zhang Er, confused and suspicious. Finally, after another villager called him, he asked urgently: "Why do you say hello to me even when you are not sick?"
The villager was startled for a moment and then smiled: "Xiao Qi is at the Empress Temple, why don't you go and have a look?"
Now everyone in the village knows that Xiao Qi is collecting past medical fees and medicinal herbs on behalf of her master.
Although Xiao Qi didn't say anything, it was because of her silence that the villagers who had not paid for the medical fees and medicinal herbs were so frightened that they all swarmed over.
Just like Liezi said: "Now that there is a natural disaster, people outside have no food to eat, but our village can still grow food and have a good harvest. Who can give this credit to?"
"This is all thanks to Xiao Qi."
"With this situation, who wouldn't get sick?"
"Who can I call if I'm sick?"
"Can't you find Dr. Xiang Ling?"
"I can't speak, but I know we can't offend Xiao Qi and Doctor Xiang Ling."
"I just made another trip and paid back all the previous medical fees and medicinal herbs."
"If you don't have money, give me food. Anyway, I won't take advantage of Dr. Xiang Ling."
"Whatever you want to do is up to you."
