The old doctor was making a small calculation in his mind. Business was sluggish now, and there was no patient for ten days and a half. He could hardly open the pot, let alone get water.
After several years of drought, the well in the backyard has long since dried up. Now in Baiyun City, you have to buy drinking water. In order to keep the people of Baiyun City alive, the government spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to find water elsewhere. If people in Baiyun City want to drink water, they have to go to the government office to buy it.
"Then...can you go out of the city with me? See my sister personally. After seeing my sister, I will give you some water."
This old man has a really dark heart. Qiao Linxi also knows that water is more expensive than gold now, but there is no way, Xiao Liu can't afford to delay.
"That won't work. You have to pay the city fee when you leave the city. Little girl, I have been practicing medicine all my life. I will never deceive you. As long as you agree to give me two bags of water to pay for the medicine, then I will definitely do what you say. I will give you medicine based on your symptoms.”
Seeing that the old doctor did not come to see her, Qiao Linxi had no choice but to compromise. She asked the old doctor to get a water bag.
After getting the water bag, Qiao Linxi said mysteriously: "Old doctor, I will lend you the backyard. You help me prepare the medicine, and I will fill it with water for you. We will hand over the water in one hand and the medicine in the other."
As soon as he heard that there was water, the old doctor nodded quickly and asked Qiao Linxi to go to the backyard. After Qiao Linxi went to the backyard, she poured the unused water for making porridge into the water bag.
The old doctor didn't lie to Qiao Linxi. After Qiao Linxi came out with two bags of water, she saw that he was holding several packages of things wrapped in brown paper. Qiao Linxi guessed they were medicines.
"Girl, Nuo, these are the medicines. This is the medicine to stop bleeding and heal, for external application. This is the medicine for reducing fever, simmer over low heat, take it three times a day. This is the medicine for promoting bone hyperplasia, for external application. I will give it to you It’s written down.”
Qiao Linxi did see that there were papers on them, but she didn't expect that the doctor was very attentive.
After getting the medicine, Qiao Linxi didn't forget to thank him and collect some gratitude points. Gratitude points were what she relied on to survive.
After leaving the medicine store, Qiao Linxi was thinking about what to bring for the children. Currently, she only had steamed buns and water in her system, as well as the leftover rice from the previous porridge. After eating steamed buns for several days, Qiao Linxi only felt that her mouth was very bland and she wanted to eat something else.
But she has no money, which is a problem of the century.
Qiao Linxi was in trouble when she suddenly saw a carriage parked in front of a shop. She stretched her head and took a look. It was a rouge and gouache shop. She suddenly had an idea and found a way to make money.
Ever since, Qiao Linxi carried the pile of medicine and walked towards the rouge and gouache shop. She was a senior white-collar worker in her previous life, and she was very good at makeup. She was saying that she also had a cosmetic bag in her system, which contained commonly used cosmetics, and there were some that she had not opened. She planned to exchange these cosmetics for some money.
A girl about twelve or thirteen years old got out of the carriage, wearing a bright green dress.
"Tsk, tsk, are all children today so precocious? They are so mature and stable at the age of twelve or thirteen."
After the girl got out of the car, she stretched out her hand, and a fairer and slender hand held the girl's hand. Not long after, a slightly older girl bent over and walked out of the carriage.
The moment she saw the girl, Qiao Linxi thought of something: There is a girl in my family who has grown up. This girl should be about fifteen or sixteen years old. The clothes and headdress she is wearing are not in the same range as the first girl. , obviously much more gorgeous than the girl before.
"Miss, watch your step."
Sure enough, the woman in the back is the master, and the younger girl is just a maid.
The master and servant got out of the car and looked around before entering the rouge and gouache shop. Qiao Linxi could hear the shop owner's flattering voice from such a distance.
Also, in this day and age, when business is sluggish, if a girl from a wealthy family comes to visit, the shop owner must treat her as an ancestor.
"Oh, Miss Qin, you're here, please come inside quickly. It's hot outside."
The Qin family is one of the best in Baiyun City. The drought affects only the poor. For such a wealthy family, it has no impact and is at most a bit hot.
When a rich lady comes to your door, the shop owner will bring out the best rouge and gouache without even asking.
Miss Qin frowned as she looked at the beautifully packaged rouge and gouache. She was not very satisfied with them. She has used these before and doesn't feel very good.
"Boss, are there no other new products?"
"Oh, Miss Qin, you also know what the situation is like now. After so many years of drought, the raw materials for making rouge gouache cannot be grown. These are all shipped from elsewhere. I specially left this for you, Miss Qin."
At this time, Qiao Linxi also entered the store, but she was wearing oversized men's clothes, her hair was a bit messy, and she looked like a beggar, so no one paid her any attention.
Just like Qiao Linxi, in this day and age, the shop owner thought that grasshopper legs were also meat, so he didn't drive her away. A few years ago, she would have been dismissed as a beggar.
Qiao Linxi held the medicine and looked at the rich lady quietly. She seemed to be very dissatisfied with the rouge and gouache. No matter how the store owner praised her and praised those things, she remained unmoved.
"Tui'er, let's go."
Miss Qin turned around and left, unhappy written on her face.
"Miss, why don't we buy it? This rouge shop is the largest rouge shop in the entire Baiyun City. The things here are not good for the lady, and I'm afraid there is nothing better in other shops."
The maid Cui'er persuaded her young lady: "I heard from the servant next to the master that Mr. Gu will arrive in Baiyun City today. Aren't you going to see him?"
"Miss Qin, Cui'er is right. Our shop is the largest in the entire Baiyun City. You have used these things before, and the quality is nothing to say. Miss Qin is as beautiful as a fairy. After using it, Mr. Gu will definitely be impressed. Can’t take my eyes away.”
Miss Qin shook her head and walked out of the shop. Qiao Linxi quickly followed.
"Miss Qin, wait..."
Miss Qin is indeed very good-looking and has a good temperament. Even Qiao Linxi is attracted by her.
"What do you want, you beggar?"
Cui'er looked at Qiao Linxi with a wary face.
The beggar Qiao Linxi was stunned for a moment, then looked down at her appearance. Compared to the gorgeously dressed Miss Qin, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a beggar.
"Tui'er..." Miss Qin looked at her maid displeased: "Don't talk nonsense."
After saying this, Miss Qin looked at Qiao Linxi and asked, "Girl, do you have something to tell me?"
"Miss..." Cui'er saw how kind her young lady was, and stamped her feet with hatred: "She must be begging with you, why are you paying attention to her?"
