220: Chapter 220 Trouble 220: Chapter 220 Trouble The next day, Yue Rujing indeed accompanied Gu Youyou to Jisheng Hall.
His white clothing was too ostentatious, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Youyou insisted he change into the attire of an ordinary worker, which he looked down upon for quite a while.
Even dressed in plain clothes, his good looks still caused quite a lot of trouble.
The youngest daughter of the affluent Fo family turned fifteen this year, which was the right age to discuss marriage.
Unfortunately, in Qingshui Town, since their Fo family was the wealthiest, it had been difficult to find a suitable match despite their efforts.
Today, she followed her maid to Jisheng Hall for a dical visit and was imdiately attracted to the handso dicine dispensing worker, then insisted none of the girls and won in her household knew how to decoct dicine.
She demanded that Jisheng Hall take responsibility for preparing her dication.
Hadn’t Gu Youyou seen such scenes before?
She would have intervened if it were soone else, but with Yue Rujing, she was quite happy to watch him in trouble.
Gu Youyou said to Miss Fo with a smile, “Miss Fo, the dicine decocted by our workers is naturally a bit better than what ordinary people prepare.
Leave the dicine here, and I’ll have them take it in to prepare.
You can sit here, have so tea, and wait.
Once it’s ready, I’ll bring it to you!”
“That’s good.
Finally, soone who understands,” Miss Fo signaled her maid to give so silver to Gu Youyou, and said, “This is a reward for you from this young miss.
If the dicine is well-prepared, there will be extra benefits.”
Qin Changlin had been trying in vain for quite so ti to excuse himself from the task and was visibly annoyed when Gu Youyou straightforwardly took it on.
He gave her aningful looks and gestures.
Gu Youyou smiled, paid him no mind, and just took the dicine into the inner courtyard.
Following her in, Qin Changlin asked in confusion, “Sister Youyou, that Fo Young is doing this on purpose.
How could you agree to her demands?”
Gu Youyou replied with a light smile, “Isn’t serving our patients what we’re supposed to do running a dical hall?
Besides, we’re getting paid in silver.”
“But we’ve never had to prepare dicine for soone before!”
“One must be flexible.
What we haven’t done before doesn’t an we can’t start now.
So patients must remain under a doctor’s care to ensure their safety at all tis.
We can set up beds in the back courtyard for them and offer inpatient treatnt.
In this way, we can reduce our visits outside, yet earn a good amount of silver.
Understand?”
Gu Youyou looked around the spacious back courtyard with its many vacant rooms, thinking it was ti to consider setting up so wards.
Qin Changlin, already a shrewd businessman, imdiately grasped her idea the mont she ntioned it.
“Ah, that makes sense!
Sister Youyou, we can convert so rooms and rent them out to seriously ill patients, plus charge them rent, right?”
Gu Youyou praised, “Well taught.
Not only should we charge rent, but also for nursing care.
We must charge a consultation fee for each visit as well, and the amount shouldn’t be much less than what we charge for house calls.”
Qin Changlin nodded silently, his gaze turning sympathetically towards Yue Rujing, who was being badgered by Miss Fo to the point of irritation.
This young miss would most certainly be our first inpatient custor!
…
The special tools Gu Youyou needed had been completed, a total of two, with Qin Changlin keeping one for himself.
“Sister Youyou, is this the type of knife you were talking about?”
Gu Youyou took it and examined it, testing the sharpness of the knife and feeling quite satisfied.
She said, “A knife like this will do.
Find so ti to prepare a pack of Knockout Drug for Yuancheng too!”
Though aware it was for dical purposes, Qin Changlin still couldn’t help but feel a shiver down his spine.
