Chapter 118 The Love-minded Grandma in the Weird Neighborhood 34
This house originally belonged to an official. After he became rich, he bought two adjacent houses on the west side and connected them to make a big house. Later, he was dismissed from office because of corruption, and the house became public. This time, it was awarded to Yun Xi by the emperor.
Yun Xi felt that the emperor had thought things through very carefully. Having this house would make things much more convenient. After all, if she treated that kind of disease at home, she would feel uncomfortable and afraid of infection.
The interior of this large house is divided into two large courtyards, east and west, separated by a rockery and pavilions. Male and female patients will be treated separately, providing good privacy.
Because of the three-day delay, Yun Xi asked four robots to work together, and took Shu Niang and Douzi to clean up the house, and then opened the business immediately.
Not many people came on the first day, some people were watching nearby on the second day, and on the third day, Shu Niang brought an old sister over.
"The day you went to the building, she was already too sick to get out of bed. This time, I persuaded her for a long time, and she was willing to give it a try."
"Okay, what's your name? Two thousand taels of silver, guaranteed cure."
"My name is Liu Niang. Money is no problem, as long as you can cure me, like Shu Niang."
The person looked like she was about to collapse, so Yun Xi quickly took her pulse and prescribed medicine. She had syphilis, just like Shu Niang.
After prescribing the medicine, the man took out two silver coins from his chest and said, "This is the money for the medicine. You can exchange it at any of the major banks in the capital."
"to make."
Yun Xi recorded the other party's information and issued a receipt. Liu Niang from the Jiaofangsi had syphilis and was charged two thousand taels.
With the arrival of the first patient, more and more people came to the door, secretly coming to treat the illness at night, with their faces covered, and the information they provided was also false. However, Yun Xi didn't care at all. As long as the money was enough, it was fine.
During this period, Shu Niang played a very important role. Some people who didn't believe it believed it completely after checking Shu Niang.
This was a very humiliating act, but Shu Niang didn't care. After so many years of selling her smiles and body in the Jiaofangsi, she had long lost her dignity. Some of the daughters of criminals were exiled, while others became military prostitutes. For her, being able to enter the Jiaofangsi was considered a good ending.
The business was booming, and by the beginning of April, when the emperor offered sacrifices to heaven and indicated that spring plowing could begin, fifty packages of medicinal herbs had been sold.
Yun Xi sent the emperor 83,250 taels of silver, and she kept 16,750 taels for herself. The cost of one dose of medicine was 150 taels of silver (actually, it was not, Yun Xi had falsely reported the cost to the emperor, the real cost was only 20 taels).
"Let Wei Donglifa do more to promote the product. Many wealthy families haven't made any purchases yet." Shen Heng nodded his chin. "Give 20,000 taels to the Queen Mother and 10,000 taels to the Empress. Let them spend them first, and the rest will go into my private treasury."
"Yes, slave, I'll do it now."
Jiujin does the housework at Yunxi's house. In addition to protecting the family, the six robots are also responsible for dispensing medicine. Shu Niang and Douzi are responsible for cleaning the clinic. Everything seems to be on track.
That day a businessman came to discuss cooperation and wanted to buy medicinal materials for sale.
"How about one thousand taels for each dose, Madam Yun?"
The other person had a big belly and an alms-giving attitude. Yun Xi was too lazy to even look at him and didn't want to deal with him. "Have a nice trip. Take care."
"Oh! No, I came here with sincerity, you can earn a thousand taels."
"Sincerely? Fashionable things in Beijing always increase in price when they are sold in other places, let alone my life-saving medicine. You are even trying to lower the price for me. Are you kidding me?"
"What do you mean by that? I'm telling you this out of kindness, but don't be so shameless. I have someone behind me!"
Yun Xi rolled up her sleeves. "It's like everyone has someone behind them. Anyone who can build a business in the capital must have someone behind them. Why are you pretending? I'm asking you to leave nicely. I'm giving you face, right? Jiayi, throw him out!"
Yun Xi clenched her fist, raised her index finger and pointed forward, giving orders.
Robot No. 1 carried out her orders expressionlessly, casually stretched out his hand to pick up the man, slowly walked to the gate, and threw him down with a "clang". The man rolled out of the gate for a long distance.
Yunduan followed behind Jiayi with a stern face, "Bad guy! Big bad guy."
Xiao Ni agreed, "That's right, bullying!"
"Why are you two here? Go back now. Don't come here casually. It's very chaotic."
Yun Xi asked the robot to take the two children home.
I wrote another notice and posted it.
The idea is simple: wholesale medicinal materials and sell them outside the capital. Okay, 3,000 taels per batch, no quantity limit, no price reduction, no monopoly...
Those who think it is expensive can come to the capital for treatment. In any case, the price will not be lower than two thousand taels. She and the emperor share the quota in a ratio of 1:9, and the minimum price is two thousand taels per piece. The purchase price cannot be lower than this. If it is lower, how can she explain to the emperor?
It seemed that no one had come to discuss purchasing business since that beating, but the retail business was getting better and better. Sometimes I could receive two customers a day, but most of the time I was idle.
Yunduan was sent to a new school. His rebellious attitude towards studying gradually disappeared and he made rapid progress. Yunxi felt that the thirty taels of silver a month was worth it.
"There are thirty-five students in the class. If you rank in the top fifteen, mom will sign you up for martial arts classes right away. You ranked 20th in this monthly exam, so you will definitely be 15th next month." Yun Xi encouraged him and took him to a big meal. Since they couldn't get a private room at Chunmanlou, they had to eat in the lobby. She would eat whatever was expensive so that her son could see the world.
"Mom, I will definitely study hard. The teacher said that the plum blossom smiles and the sword shines brightly. It is even more outstanding to be both civil and martial. I must be both civil and martial."
"Well, my son is really ambitious."
The flowers in the forest have faded their spring redness, too quickly.
A gust of warm wind blew away the breath of spring, and the weather became warmer unknowingly. People in summer seemed to be bolder, and more and more people came to seek medical treatment and medicine.
Everything is still the same. The system examines the other party's body, and Yun Xi prescribes medicine. If the disease cannot be cured, the money can be refunded. It is not recommended to be reckless just because you have the medicine. Getting sick can cause great harm to the body, and severe cases can even lead to infertility. Don't ruin your body.
Unexpectedly, there were not many people coming to the Jiaofangsi for treatment, but there were more men and women coming to the brothel for treatment.
Shu Niang explained, "Even if the people in the Jiaofangsi are cured, they can't leave there. Instead, they are forced to receive customers after being cured. Brothels are different. Those who have money can redeem themselves and leave, so they are naturally more motivated."
Yun Xi nodded, remaining silent, not knowing what to say. If you choose a cage, you'll stay there for the rest of your life, unless someone can help you. But who would risk the emperor's displeasure to rescue a guilty woman? There might be some, but not many.
Suicide? If there are no relatives in there who commit suicide, it's fine. But if there are relatives in there who commit suicide, their relatives will be implicated.
In the May monthly exam, Yunduan just barely made it to the 15th place. Yunxi kept her word and took the child to the escort agency to inquire.
