Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 336 Pancreas

Aunt Lian was now very convinced of Doctor Lin. Upon hearing this, she hesitated for a while and then agreed.

After persuading her, Song Ying persuaded Doctor Lin, "Master, you should go to sleep too. You still have to check the old lady's pulse in the morning."

Doctor Lin is old and hasn’t had a good rest in the past few days. He is indeed tired. Hearing this, he asked, “Can you do it alone?”

"Don't worry, Master. I now understand the kitten's various conditions and know what to do. It should not vomit or poop next time and will sleep until dawn."

Doctor Lin smiled and said, "I hope so. Okay, then you stay here and call me if you have any questions."

Song Ying nodded and took a thick mattress to cover her, "I know, I know."

After Doctor Lin and Aunt Lian fell asleep, Song Ying took a small stool, sat next to the cat's bed, and bent over to look at it.

The little cat curled up into a ball, buried its head in its chest and abdomen, and slept soundly.

Perhaps, this is also the best night the kitten has slept since he fell ill.

After dawn, Song Ying saw that Aunt Lian was sleeping soundly, so he did not wake her up. He and Doctor Lin fed the kitten medicine, and then Doctor Lin went to take the pulse of County Master Shunan.

Song Ying waited for Aunt Lian to wake up, fed the kitten again, and then went back to rest.

Song Ying slept until the afternoon when the mountain went down. She looked at the red sunset in the sky and murmured, "It seems that the sun is very strong today. The kitten should be very comfortable in the sun."

She washed up and went to the big kitchen to find something to eat.

As soon as he saw her, Chunliu stood up and said, "You're awake. I'll bring you food. Doctor Lin told us to keep it warm for you early in the morning."

Song Ying felt warm in her heart, "Thank you for your trouble."

Soon, Chunliu brought out a bowl of noodles. "It will be time for dinner in a while, so let's finish the noodles first. By the way, has Aunt Lian's cat been cured?"

"It's almost done." After answering, Song Ying quickly ate the noodles, and then went to Aunt Lian's place when he was done.

As soon as they entered, Aunt Lian said happily: "It ate on its own initiative at noon! But it didn't eat much, just a small piece of chicken stewed in boiling water."

"That's great!" Song Ying was very happy. The situation had really improved, and the kitten was really getting better!

At dinner time, the kitten ate in big mouthfuls, much more than at noon. The next morning, when he defecated, the stool was no longer watery but had formed a shape.

In March, spring returns to the earth, all things grow, and the grass and trees on the roadside grow new leaves and are lush and green.

"Song Ying, is there really no job suitable for me?" Luo Yanxing asked unwillingly in the backyard of Huichun Hall.

"Really not." Song Ying replied, picked up the scale, hung the herbs she carried on her back on the hook, lifted the rope on her head, and slowly moved the weight to balance the scale beam.

"But didn't your second aunt find a job very quickly?" Luo Yanxing pouted.

"Because she is an adult, and you are only an eleven-year-old child. Except for those who were sold as slaves, no family in the city has eleven- or twelve-year-old workers." After finding the balance point, Song Ying looked at the scale on the beam, "Three catties and four ounces, 4 coins per catty, so this medicine will be charged to you as 15 coins."

Then she began to weigh other herbs.

Luo Yanxing trusted her and did not calculate the price. Instead, he continued, "There is a noodle shop on Yandian Street. I often see a little girl washing dishes there."

"She is the shopkeeper's daughter, not a hired worker." Song Ying said, while trying to comfort her, "You can earn a lot of money picking herbs now, why do you have to come to the city to work? If you meet a stingy employer, he will think of deducting your wages for various reasons every day. You might as well pick herbs."

"Collecting herbs can make money, but I think it's not a good idea to stay in a mountain village. I don't have much experience and I might be cheated by others in the future. I need to be knowledgeable and have ideas when encountering problems.

Look how much you have changed since coming to the city. You are completely different from before!"

"But you are really too young. I asked Aunt Cen before, and the embroiderers in their building are willing to accept apprentices, but apprentices are not paid. Moreover, embroidery depends on talent, so they have to assess you first. You can go and try."

"Forget about embroidery. I don't want to be an embroiderer." Luo Yanxing rejected the proposal outright. She didn't mind being an apprentice, but she didn't want to learn embroidery.

She has been unable to sit still since she was a child. When Song Ying's grandmother, Mrs. Li, taught them to sew, she just sewed up the torn holes. Her buttocks hurt after doing it for a long time. She would rather go to the mountains to cut a basket of grass or collect a basket of firewood than sit down to sew, let alone sit down to embroider.

Song Ying shrugged and said, "Then there will be no work. Just wait until you grow up a little bit."

Luo Yanxing sighed, "When I grow up, I will be ready to get married, so I won't be able to come to the city to work."

Song Ying weighed all her herbs, then picked up the abacus and quickly calculated the money. "Let's go. I'll go out and pay you."

Luo Yanxing followed her out, sighing all the way. Even when they arrived at the pharmacy and Song Ying paid for the goods to her, she was still dejected.

Song Ying felt a little reluctant, and after thinking for a while, he said, "When I was reading Qianjin Fang the other day, I saw a method of making pancreas. Maybe we can try it. If it succeeds, you can come to the city to sell pancreas in the future."

"What is that?" Luo Yanxing had never heard of this thing.

"Something to wash your hands and face. It leaves you feeling very clean and moisturized after washing."

Luo Yanxing's eyes lit up, "The things used by rich people can be sold for a lot of money, right?"

Song Ying shook his head, "We can't sell what we make to rich people."

"why?"

"Rich people care about face and pomp. They buy everything they use from famous shops. Besides, it's not certain whether we will succeed or not."

"Who should we sell it to then? Ordinary people wouldn't buy soap just for washing their hands, right? By the way, what does it take to make it? Will the cost be very high?" Having had experience in selling hair ties, Luo Yanxing asked the question right away.

Song Ying pursed her lips and said, "What I'm thinking of is to make it and sell it to the maids and servants of wealthy families."

"Will they buy these?" In Luo Yanxing's opinion, slaves are very pitiful and live a miserable life. Ordinary people are reluctant to buy these things, so would these slaves and servants be willing to buy them?

Song Ying nodded, "They serve their masters every day and are used to seeing their masters use them. As long as the price is lower than that sold in the shop, they are actually more willing to buy it than ordinary people.

Moreover, after seeing the ladies dressing up, they are more willing to spend money on dressing themselves up. Yunxiu Tower is an example. Ladies look down on Yunxiu Tower and go to Jinyi Pavilion to buy ready-made clothes, while maids and servants love to go to Yunxiu Tower to buy. "
