Chapter 163: Plaque
The next day, Peach Blossom Workshop had just opened when regular customers soon heard the news and rushed over.
Zhou Wangshu and Su Yaoguang were responsible for receiving those regular customers. However, as agreed before, they would not do business for the next half month. Some of the previous inventory could be sold, but once sold out, that was it. If they wanted to buy other goods, they would have to wait half a month. However, customers could place orders first, and they would ship according to the order sequence after half a month.
“I want one hundred bottles of scar removal cream.”
Zhou Wangshu was just about to write the order when he heard the other party wanted one hundred bottles. He said, “Sorry, we have a rule that each person can buy at most five bottles. We won’t sell more than that.”
“You’re an interesting boss. I’m supporting your business, but what kind of reason is there to push business away?” The woman gave a dry laugh.
“You’re buying so many bottles of scar removal cream not for personal use, but planning to take them elsewhere to sell, right? If you sell them at the original price, that’s fine, but seeing how greedy you are, you’re probably planning to sell at a high price.” Zhou Wangshu twirled the pen in his hand and sized up the woman with sly eyes in front of him. “We won’t do your business. You can leave.”
“Fine, fine, then sell me five bottles.”
“We’re not even selling five bottles now.” Zhou Wangshu said indifferently, “Next…”
“Boss Su, what’s wrong with your little husband? What kind of reason is there to push business away?” The woman shouted loudly, calling out to Su Yaoguang.
While organizing the single items on the goods, Su Yaoguang said, “His meaning is my meaning. He won’t sell to you, so it’s useless to come to me.”
“Fine, don’t sell then. I’ll go buy from Fenghua Pavilion across the street. Although their effect is a bit worse, it’s cheaper there, unlike you who won’t do business even when you have it.”
Once the woman left, the customers queued behind reminded Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu: “Boss Su, young shopkeeper Zhou, Fenghua Pavilion recently launched cosmetics that can effectively cover facial blemishes. Fenghua Pavilion’s young owner, that is Jiang Yihuan, also developed a makeup style called rose makeup, deliberately dotting rose flowers on the cheeks. It’s very popular!”
“Thank you for the reminder, sister. But in my view, no matter how good the makeup products are, they are not as important as skincare products. We must nourish our foundation well first, then use makeup to add color. That way, we can treat both the symptoms and the root cause. Look at sister’s recent complexion; it’s not very good. Have you not taken good care of your body and lost qi and blood?” Su Yaoguang said to the woman.
“Haha… You weren’t back, my waist was getting thicker and thicker, I really couldn’t stand it, so I used some countryside folk method to lose weight. As a result, my waist didn’t slim down, and my complexion looked bad.” The woman was somewhat guilty.
“Jing’er, Jing’er…” Su Yaoguang shouted toward the backyard, “Come out and give Fang sister a check-up.”
Jiang Jing came out carrying the medicine box, placed the medicine box on the counter nearby, and walked toward the woman opposite.
“Boss Su, has the birthmark on Doctor Jiang’s face faded a lot?” A nearby customer asked her.
Su Yaoguang had noticed it long ago and asked Jiang Jing about it. She found out that during this time of seeing patients, she had accidentally tried a kind of herb, which happened to be the crucial medicine guide to detoxify her.
Now Jiang Jing drinks medicine every day, and if all goes well, the residual poison in her body can be completely cleared within half a year. Afterward, she can also be a clean and pretty little girl.
“You guess.” Su Yaoguang kept it mysterious.
“Boss Su, you’re too naughty. Only at times like this can we feel you’re a little girl. Usually, seeing your old-fashioned appearance, you’re even more straightforward and upright than many men.”
Jiang Jing checked Fang Shi and said, “Fang sister, you shouldn’t lose weight recently.”
“Why? You’re back, and I was just planning to order a weight loss set from you! Last time Wang Chunhua lost weight here and dropped forty pounds in no time, now she’s slim like a different person. By the way, you just got back recently and don’t know yet, but Wang Chunhua just found a rich husband and is about to get married. Her original childhood sweetheart regrets it to death and is crying for her to change her mind!”
“Didn’t her childhood sweetheart marry someone else?” The woman nearby said, “We all know that.”
“The epidemic has been serious recently, you stayed at your maternal family and didn’t come back, so you don’t know the later story.” Fang Shi said mysteriously, “The wife that cheap man married was committing adultery with his male cousin and even got pregnant. He came back from hunting in the mountains and caught them. The adulterer didn’t even have time to put on his underwear, ran out naked from the backyard, and was caught red-handed by the villagers. The cheap man divorced his wife on the spot, then cried and shouted for Wang Chunhua to change her mind. The Wang family has always doted on this daughter and couldn’t bear for her to suffer this grievance, so they beat that man away. During the epidemic, we didn’t dare enter the city, but the village had its own liveliness. Anyway, it was quite exciting.”
After Jiang Jing and the few women finished gossiping, and Fang Shi finally remembered to ask why she couldn’t lose weight, she continued, “The reason your waist is thick is not because you’ve gained weight, but because you’re pregnant.”
Fang Shi stared blankly at Jiang Jing: “What did you say?”
Jiang Jing repeated: “You’re pregnant, already three months along.”
“I’m pregnant?” Fang Shi grabbed the nearby auntie. “Auntie, did you hear that?”
The auntie congratulated her: “You’ve hoped and hoped, finally it’s here. After so many years, you’ve taken a lot of bitter medicine. Finally, your wish is fulfilled.”
“How did it go so smoothly this time? Did you take some miraculous medicine?” Someone nearby asked, “My daughter-in-law has been married for three years, and her belly has had no movement.”
“Before the epidemic, I had Doctor Jiang regulate my body. Doctor Jiang prescribed pills according to my condition, and I’ve been taking them on time without interruption.” Fang Shi said excitedly, “No, I have to tell my family this good news.”
“Wait a minute…” Jiang Jing stopped her. “You’ve damaged your body during this time and must regulate it well. I’ll write you a menu. Eat according to what I write, and don’t randomly lose weight anymore.”
“Okay, listen to Doctor Jiang.”
After Fang Shi left, everyone recalled that Jiang Jing had resolved the epidemic this time, a disease that no doctor in the whole city could cure, and their looks toward her changed.
Jiang Jing was too young and easily seen as a child. But at this moment, they deeply realized this was not an ordinary little girl, but a little girl with superb medical skills.
Previously, when women saw doctors, there were always various taboos, after all, men and women are different. Even if it’s a male doctor, many symptoms are embarrassing to mention. Now it’s good, there’s a female doctor with superb medical skills here. No matter what symptoms, they can come to her, no need to hide them and turn small illnesses into big ones.
“Doctor Jiang, help me check my pulse for safety…”
“Me too.”
