Chapter 388 Opening (6)
Zhou's expression froze, and Wang's expression was equally unhappy. She scolded, "How do you talk to your elders like that?"
The village chief also blamed Luo Yanxing for not knowing how to speak. As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. How could he expose the shortcomings of villagers in front of outsiders, making it seem as if the people in Xinghua Village were not trustworthy?
Song Ying saw the change in the village chief's expression and understood why he was unhappy, but she did not stop Luo Yanxing.
Perhaps it is because they have been told since childhood that they will get married sooner or later and become outsiders; perhaps it is because they have always been the ones who have been wronged, so they do not have such a strong sense of belonging and honor to the village, and naturally they do not care much about the reputation of the village.
Besides, to her, her master and uncle are much closer to her than them.
Doctor Lin had to go back to look after the medicine for Lady Shunan. He took a few bites and then stood up to say goodbye. Before leaving, he said to Song Ying, "Now that this shop is open, we have to focus on taking pulses and prescribing medicine. Come to the mansion tomorrow and I'll take your pulse."
"Yes." Song Ying agreed and breathed a sigh of relief. He had been very busy during this period and he could finally relax.
Doctor Lin took two steps forward and warned, "Tell your uncle to let you go early this afternoon. Don't come here in the hot sun at noon, or you'll get sunburned."
"I understand. I won't ask for trouble." Song Ying responded and sent her out.
As soon as Doctor Lin left, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief. For the entire afternoon, whenever they thought about the person sitting in front of them, who was once a doctor in the palace and knew many royal family members, they felt as if a bucket of water was hanging in their hearts, with ups and downs in their hearts.
They were afraid that they would say the wrong thing and anger her, so that she would send them to jail with just one word.
When Song Ying came back in, Li, who had been holding it in for the whole afternoon, finally couldn't help but grumble, "You are so precious now, and you are afraid of the sun."
The other villagers also felt that Dr. Lin treated Song Ying too delicately. She was not a real rich girl. She had been working in the fields since she was a child, facing the loess and back to the sky. How could she be afraid of the sun?
Song Ying was also feeling very aggrieved because of the scar on his leg. Hearing this, he couldn't help but choke back, "In the eyes of those who value me, I am naturally very precious.
In the eyes of those who don't take me seriously, I am just like a weed, an eyesore growing on the roadside and a nuisance when stepped on in the mud."
The relaxed Li began to educate her granddaughter in a familiar manner: "Hey, what do you mean by that? I am not as good to you as an outsider? I can coax you away with just a few nice words..."
"Cough, cough, cough!" The village chief coughed desperately and picked up the wine glass. "Doctor Ma, come on, drink some wine!"
After listening to the village chief's words, Li remembered that Doctor Ma had not left yet. She glared at Song Ying and sat down, which was a very anticlimactic performance.
The meal was not very enjoyable. It was almost noon when everyone was sent away. Song Ying walked towards the house while summarizing with Luo Yanxing: "It was a wrong decision. We shouldn't have invited them.
People have to bring gifts when they attend wedding banquets, but they didn’t bring any gifts and ate for free, and they also made trouble and made us very angry.”
Luo Yanxing nodded in agreement, "We are inexperienced this time. We won't hire you next time we open a shop."
Song Ying exhaled: "Forget it, let's not talk about them anymore, let's go home and count the money!"
Thinking of today's business, the two of them felt much better, and even their steps became lighter. They soon left Renhe Street and turned into Yunshuifang.
From a distance, I saw two people standing at the door of their shop.
Song Ying and Luo Yanxing paused, turned their heads and looked at each other. Would they encounter someone with bad intentions blocking the door on the first day of opening?
As he approached, Song Ying soon found that one of the figures was very familiar, "Yuan Qing?"
Hearing her voice, the two turned around and it was indeed Yuan Qing and Shen Jing.
"What's going on? You closed so early on the first day of business?" Shen Jing immediately complained when he saw them, "We brought our classmates with us right after school to show our support, but the door was closed."
"I'm so sorry. I invited people from our village to join us for dinner. I'm going to Ruyi Tower with them." Song Ying apologized and ran to open the door. "We have just released some new soap. I'll give you some. Please bring some to your classmates as well. This is our apology. We hope they will take care of our business in the future."
The reason why the shop was opened here is largely because of these scholars. They will be a major source of customers for them in the future, so they naturally have to be appeased.
"That's more like it." Shen Jing was satisfied. "I can't make the decision about Shunqing Mansion, but I have the final say in Qingshui County. From now on, our family's pancreas will be taken from you!"
"Thank you, great customer, for your favor!" Song Ying responded happily and winked at Luo Yanxing. Another long-term customer!
"How are you today? Is business good?" Yuan Qing asked with concern.
"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. We have made mugwort pancakes, which are selling very well. We also made peach blossom pancakes, which are also selling well." When it comes to business, Song Ying finally puts all his depression aside and is filled with excitement.
"I've used peach blossom soap and osmanthus soap, but I've never used mugwort soap. Does it smell good?" Shen Jing also became interested.
"It's just a faint smell of mugwort. If you like it, it's a nice smell. It doesn't have the elegance of peach blossoms or the fragrance of osmanthus, but it has the fresh smell of grass leaves." Song Ying said as he took out two pieces of mugwort soap and handed them to the two of them.
Yuan Qing sniffed it, and his eyes lit up immediately, "This light smell of grass leaves is just right."
To him, the smell of mugwort was too strong and gave him a headache. However, the soap only had a light smell which was quite refreshing.
"You like this." Song Ying smiled and handed over two more pieces. "Come back for more when you're done."
Yuan Qing smelled the peach blossom scent and preferred the mugwort scent after comparison, so he only ordered three pieces of mugwort scent. "How much?"
Song Ying waved his hand, "Didn't I say I'll give it to you as an apology? No money required."
She still owed Yuan Qingtian a huge favor, which she had never had the chance to repay before. Now she could use the selling of pancreas as an excuse to repay some of it.
Luo Yanxing also knew that Song Ying learned calligraphy from Yuan Qing. Without Yuan Qing, Song Ying could not learn calligraphy, and she could not learn calligraphy either. Therefore, she also said, "How can we take your money? Just use it. Come back for more when you run out."
Yuan Qing declined: "Brother Shen was just being polite, don't take it seriously. You have to pay for the pancreas materials, so how can I let you give it away for free?"
"The materials are cheap, just take them and use them. We will make the money back from other places, so we won't lose money." Song Ying insisted.
Yuan Qing continued to decline, "Then I'll take it for free. It's the first day of business, and it's not a good omen to give it away for free."
