Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Among the medical students, Song Qingyuan’s medical skills were not bad. After examining the Horse Stealer, he said, “The bones in his back where the horse stepped on are shattered. He can’t recover. He will be bedridden for the rest of his life.”
One could imagine the feeling of something weighing 800 to 900 kilograms smashing on your back.
The Horse Stealer had just woken up in a daze. When he heard this, he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted again.
Song Qingyuan said to another Horse Stealer, “Hurry up and send him to the medical center. Otherwise, he’ll die from excessive blood loss.”
The Horse Stealer didn’t dare to delay since it was a matter of life and death. He hurriedly found someone to help him carry the fainted to the medical center.
On the other side, Chu Xuyuan helped Chu Xuyao onto the horse and then got on it himself. Finally, he waved at Song Qingyuan. “Senior Brother Song, get on the horse. Let’s go.”
Song Qingyuan hesitated. What if the horse kicked him off?
“Why don’t you guys go back first and I’ll walk over?”
Chu Xuyao cleverly saw some fear in Song Qingyuan’s eyes. “Senior Brother Song, don’t be afraid. With us around, Fu Bao won’t hurt you.”
Chu Xuyuan got off the horse. “Senior Brother Song, you sit in the middle and hug Ninth Brother. I’ll sit behind and hug you. This way, you won’t fall.”
Song Qingyuan looked at the two children and finally agreed. It would take ages for him to walk to the Chu village on foot. Besides, he didn’t know the way.
He got on the horse clumsily. After he sat down, Chu Xuyuan climbed up and hugged his waist. “Senior Brother Song, are you ready? Let’s go.”
Song Qingyuan grabbed Chu Xuyao with one hand and pulled the reins with the other. “Giddyup!”
Fu Bao ran forward steadily.
In the Chu Village.
Chu Qingzhi’s dinner banquet was about to begin. The entire village was filled with a fragrance, as if it had already seeped into every inch of the land.
As soon as Song Qingyuan entered the village, he felt hungry.
Chu Xuyuan invited, “Senior Brother Song, stay at my house for dinner later. You can go home after dinner.”
Song Qingyuan did not intend to stay to eat. He hesitated and said, “That’s not good, right?”
Chu Xuyuan smiled and explained, “My fifth sister has been conferred the title of a baroness. There’s a banquet at home that everyone is welcome to join. Don’t stand on ceremony.”
Song Qingyuan smiled. “In that case, I will stay for dinner.”
Chu Xuyuan nodded.
The three of them got off the horse. Chu Xuyuan ran into the house and placed down his things. After placing his things, he quickly went to look for Chu Qingzhi. “Fifth Sister, Fifth Sister…”
Chu Qingzhi was in the rice dumpling workshop, troubled… Making rice dumplings every day required more than 1,000 kilograms of glutinous rice. They had already bought all the glutinous rice in the nearby county cities, and the shops were already out of stock. The glutinous rice in their inventory was only enough for ten days.
She heard the voice and replied, “In here.”
Chu Xuyuan hurriedly ran over. “Fifth Sister, someone from the school is looking for you.”
Chu Qingzhi was puzzled. “Why is someone from your school looking for me?”
Chu Xuyuan did not know the details either. He only said, “I think he wants to ask you something about medicine.”
Chu Qingzhi could only put aside her worries for now and say, “Let’s go.”
Chu Xuyao was accompanying Song Qingyuan. The two of them had just sat down at the table.
Chu Xuyuan brought Chu Qingzhi to Song Qingyuan. “Fifth Sister, he’s the one looking for you.”
Song Qingyuan hurriedly stood up and bowed. “I’m Song Qingyuan, a medical student of Yunfei School. Greetings, Miss Chu!”
Chu Qingzhi said politely, “Young Master Song, please sit.”
Song Qingyuan sat back on the stool, and Chu Qingzhi sat on the other side. She looked at Chu Xuyuan and Chu Xuyao and said, “Young Master Song, if you have something to say, just say it.”
Song Qingyuan deliberated over his words and said, “Miss Chu, it’s like this. My senior and junior brothers and I encountered many difficult illnesses in the process of learning medicine. Even the teacher can’t answer our questions. Everyone in the county city is talking about how extraordinary your medical attainment is, so I want to ask Miss Chu to enlighten us. Miss Chu, are you willing?”
He was actually a little uncertain. Chu Qingzhi looked too young, and the teacher who taught them was already more than fifty years old. He was very experienced. If he didn’t know, would this young lady in front of them know?
“Let me think about it.” Chu Qingzhi thought of the glutinous rice problem she was facing and didn’t know if she should agree. Suddenly, she noticed that Chu Xuyao had bandages wrapped around his palm. “Xuyao, what happened to your palm?”
Chu Xuyao briefly explained what had happened.
Chu Qingzhi called Shen Ruyue over. “Ruyue, bring Xuyao to bandage his wound again.”
“Wound?” Shen Ruyue looked at Chu Xuyao and finally noticed his bandaged palm. “I’ll bring him to do it immediately.”
After the two of them left, Chu Qingzhi agreed without any hesitation. She did not like to owe others. “I’ll go over tomorrow. Please wait for me at the entrance and show me the way.”
Song Qingyuan quickly agreed. “Of course, of course.”
“Xuyuan, take your Senior Brother Song to eat. Treat him well, understand?”
“Got it, Fifth Sister.”
After saying that, Chu Qingzhi greeted Song Qingyuan and left. She still had to solve the problem of glutinous rice shortage.
Tongzi County.
After a busy day, Chu Yehui finally had time to care about the restaurant’s matters. “How did the rice dumplings sell today?”
The shop assistant smiled and said, “I was about to tell you that the rice dumplings are selling very well. They are sold out in about two hours. We need to prepare more tomorrow.”
Chu Yehui blinked in surprise. “Is it that popular?”
The shop assistant said, “It’s very popular. Boss, I think we can increase the order.”
Chu Yehui thought for a moment. Seeing that the rice dumpling was accepted by the county people, he decided to increase the order. “I’ll increase the order to 1,000 rice dumplings tomorrow.”
The shop assistant said, “Young Master, 1 think the rice dumpling is very delicious. If more people know about it, it can definitely sell better.”
Chu Yehui said, “Then think of a way to let more people know.”
The shop assistant nodded. “Young Master, the Lan family is going to hold a birthday banquet. They said that it will be held in the restaurant. Aren’t you friends with their young master? Why don’t you negotiate a deal to add the rice dumpling as one of the dishes.”
Chu Yehui praised, “That’s a good idea. There will be a bonus for you at the end of the month.”
The shop assistant said happily, “Thank you, Young Master.”
With this thought in mind, Chu Yehui rushed back to the Chu Village and said to Chu Xuhua, “Xuhua, I have something to talk to you about.”
Chu Xuhua was puzzled. “What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?”
Chu Yehui asked bluntly, “Can you send me a thousand rice dumplings tomorrow?”
Chu Xuhua shook his head. “I can send you at most 200. If you want 1,000, you’ll have to wait until the day after tomorrow.” It was already dark, so it was impossible to make rice dumplings now..
