Chapter 55: Who is Little Swallow?
"Thank you, thank you." After Niu Er took the prescription, he thanked Song Lingyue again and again.
"Don't be so polite. If there's anything you don't understand while taking the medicine, just ask me. Song Lingyue sent Niu Er away, and glanced at the sky outside the door, the sun had already set, and the pedestrians on the street were gradually decreasing, so the day's business ended.
Since the official opening of the hospital, Song Lingyue has been sitting in the hospital every day, and at first she was free, and she went back to the backyard every day to help Song Yanzhi cook.
Later, the number of people who came to see the doctor gradually increased, not to mention going back to cook for Song Yanzhi, even Song Lingyue herself had no time to eat, and she had to trouble Xiangling to send it to her every day.
Time flies so fast, and it has been a month since she opened the medical center in a blink of an eye.
Except for the first half of the month, there is a lot of business, and there is business almost every day in the second half of the month, and I have made at least a tael of silver this month.
Don't look at one tael of silver, it seems to be a small amount, but in a year, it is twelve taels of silver.
According to the calculation of an ordinary family of three, three taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to chew for a year.
If she can maintain a net income of one or two silver every month, in three years, her capital has been earned.
However, Song Lingyue only calculated the cost of her diagnosis and treatment of patients, and when her reputation became big in the future, she was afraid that the outpatient fee alone would be more than twelve taels of silver a month.
Not only that, Song Lingyue has a lot of other ideas that she hasn't had time to implement, so she is waiting for herself to gain a firm foothold in Jizhou Mansion and then innovate step by step.
Song Lingyue walked home slowly, planning the future development of Baoning Hall all the way, and the excited arc of the corners of her lips never lowered.
"Sister!"
Song Lingyue had just walked to the door of the house, and Song Yanzhi had already rushed over.
"In other words, why are you still so reckless." Song Lingyue grabbed Song Yanzhi's neck and collar, so that she was not knocked down by Song Yanzhi.
"Sister, you promised that the first and fifteenth days of each month are the days when the hospital is closed! Tomorrow will be the first day of the new year! You'll be at home with you, right? Song Yanzhi raised his little head and pouted and asked Song Lingyue, "Sister, you won't lie, right?" ”
"Yes, when did my sister lie to her?" Song Lingyue touched Yanzhi's little head, "Sister will rest tomorrow, and I will accompany Yanzhi well." ”
"It's great, I can eat my sister's cooking again!" Song Yanzhi happily danced in place.
"In other words, do you dislike Aunt Li's cooking, isn't it delicious?" Not far away, Aunt Li's joking voice sounded.
Song Yanzhi had a stiff neck, stuck out his tongue at Aunt Li, and said playfully: "No! Aunt Li's cooking is delicious, but she misses her sister's cooking! ”
"You little mouth, you don't want to offend either side." Aunt Li smiled and pinched Song Yanzhi's fleshy little face.
"Aunt Li, I've caused you trouble during this time. If it weren't for the fact that you often take the time to take care of you, I really wouldn't be able to keep myself busy. Song Lingyue was full of gratitude to Aunt Li.
"Where, if you hadn't cured my back pain, I'm afraid I'd still be lying in bed right now." Aunt Li smiled, "And the idea you gave me is really good." Now I don't have to go out, and the osmanthus sugar cake is sold out every day, which is a lot easier than before. ”
"Yes! Sister Lingyue, thanks to what you told my mother about 'hunger marketing', my mother's osmanthus sugar cake doesn't need to be sold at the market now, and she comes directly to the house every day to make reservations. Xiangling got out from behind Aunt Li and looked at Song Lingyue with admiration.
Aunt Li took Xiangling's words and continued to praise:
"You said before that you wanted me to do a limited sale, and I thought that it would be 100 yuan a day, but it was too little, and it was sold out quickly, and no one would come to buy it sooner or later. Unexpectedly, since this limited edition brand was released, the daily business has become better.
And the kneading machine you invented, the more Xiangling uses it, the more comfortable it becomes, and it is no worse than me to make a hair cake! ”
"Knowing that Sister Lingyue will rest tomorrow, my mother and I specially made a soup pot, and I want to eat it with Sister Lingyue and Yanzhi."
Song Lingyue found that Xiangling was holding a huge casserole in her hand, and it was still steaming at this time.
The soup pot in Xiangling's mouth is a bit similar to a modern hot pot, except that there is no red oil and chili peppers, and only water is used to cook the ingredients.
However, families with good conditions will add some ingredients such as chicken bones and pork bones to make a broth to add flavor to the soup pot, a bit like a modern white pot hot pot.
"That's great, even though it's spring now, it's still a little cool at night." Song Lingyue was very happy and led the Li family's mother and daughter into the backyard together.
Song Lingyue saw that the moonlight was very good tonight, so she said that she wanted to eat in the small vegetable garden in the backyard.
The mother and daughter of the Li family were naturally guests and hosts, and according to Song Lingyue, they moved the square table in the dining room to the small vegetable garden in the backyard.
"Every time I come back, it's almost sunset, and I don't know that so many vegetables have grown in this garden." Song Lingyue was pleased to find that the vegetables planted with Song Yanzhi and Xiangling had already sprouted, and some had even begun to bloom, and they were about to bear fruit.
What made Song Lingyue most happy was that the chili seeds that she thought might not survive before had really sprouted and grew out of age.
And the seeds of the tomatoes have also sprouted, right in the roots of the wall, and white flowers have bloomed, and in a few months there may be tomatoes to eat.
As for the other onions, ginger and garlic, they have all begun to bear fruit, and the growth is gratifying.
Song Yanzhi ran to Song Lingyue's side, proudly leaning up on his little chest and asking Song Lingyue for credit: "Xiangling and I have good watering and fertilization every day!" ”
"You and Xiangling are doing a good job." Song Lingyue praised without hesitation, but she couldn't take her eyes off the tomato seedlings that had already bloomed.
"Sister!" Song Yanzhi was dissatisfied that he was left out in the cold, so he insisted on getting into Song Lingyue's arms.
"I know that you have all worked hard, and in a few months, my sister will make you good food, which must be something that none of you have eaten. How? "For Song Yanzhi, a little gluttonous cat, of course, he is tempted by food.
"Really?" Song Yanzhi's eyes lit up with excitement when he heard that there was something he had never eaten.
"Yes! When the time comes, let's still be in this courtyard and taste the food of the moon together, how about it? Song Lingyue squeezed her eyes at Song Yanzhi.
Of course, Song Yanzhi cheered and applauded, "Then Aunt Li and Xiangling are also coming?" ”
"Of course."
"Then it would be nice if Brother Qi Mo and Brother Liu Liang could also come!" Song Yan's face was looking forward to it.
"They......" Song Lingyue touched her nose, "I'm just afraid that they are still happy in the capital, right?" ”
Since Qi Mo's death show said that he was going to go to Beijing with Liu Liang to take the exam, there has been no news. They all know that they are in Jizhou, but now they haven't even written a letter to her, which is really unconscionable.
However, it's been so long, the imperial examinations have ended, and they haven't come back yet.
Naturally, I don't want to have anything to do with a country woman like her.
"Sister, what do you mean by not thinking about it? Happy as a mouse? Song Yanzhi raised his head and asked Song Lingyue.
Song Lingyue knocked on Song Yanzhi's head angrily and said, "Don't follow me here to learn Xiaoyanzi." ”
"Who is Little Swallow? Sister's friend? Song Yan's face was puzzled.
Song Lingyue couldn't help laughing, burst out laughing, and said vaguely: "Sort of, anyway, my sister has known her since she was a child." ”
"And who is she? Sister, you don't seem to have ever mentioned her to me, and you don't seem to have ever seen her. Song Yanzhi became more and more curious.
"That's natural, she's my sister's secret partner." Song Lingyue winked at Song Yanzhi, and the corners of her lips condensed with a mysterious arc.
If Song Yanzhi knew that Xiaoyanzi was a ghost, unless Song Yanzhi could also travel from modern times like her.
The tiles on the roof made a fluttering sound, and Song Lingyue immediately looked up.
I only heard a meow, and the big black cat, which had always been fat, ran over the eaves, and there were bursts of light cross talk from the uncovered tiles.
"It's a cat! I thought ......"
"Sister, why?" Xiangling had already prepared the tables, chairs and benches, and seeing that Song Lingyue had been looking up at the eaves, she couldn't help but turn her head and ask Song Lingyue.
Song Lingyue shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's nothing, I heard a noise on the roof, and I thought there were people lying on it." ”
Xiangling covered her lips and smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were like a crescent moon: "What does my sister think?" The roof of this house is at least three feet high, how can you go up without a ladder? ”
Song Lingyue almost blurted out a light sentence.
However, think about the exaggerated martial arts of light martial arts, which should only be found in martial arts novels, right? Song Lingyue doesn't believe that there are exercises that can defy gravity and make people walk on the snow without a trace.
It's still a bit possible to walk on the wall, after all, isn't there still parkour in modern times? It actually looks a bit like a cornice in light work.
Song Lingyue didn't have time to think about these anymore, Aunt Li had already beckoned them to sit down and prepare for dinner.
If Song Lingyue looked up at the roof at this time, she could see that in the darkest corner of the roof, two black shadows moved, and through the moonlight, she could vaguely see a pair of bright eyes, secretly monitoring the people in the courtyard for a moment.
"Master." Liu Liang forced his voice into a line and whispered to Qi Mo next to him, "This Lingyue girl shouldn't have discovered us, right?" ”
Qi Mo just shook his head slowly: "There shouldn't be." If she found out, she wouldn't be dining in the courtyard with them anymore, would she? ”
"But, she just said she thought there was someone on the roof." Liu Liang thought of the sentence that Song Lingyue had just blurted out, and his vest was drenched in a cold sweat.
