Chapter 148 The people are in a panic and sell insect repellent incense at night
Qiliangcheng was originally not a big place, and something happened in the yamen, and I don't know how it was spread out.
Because Qi Ren Insect Niang was locked up in a prison a while ago, Su Baitong had stopped making the spices that attract insects, and now there were so many patients all of a sudden. The Incense Pavilion began to get busy again.
Dr. Miao and others were also invited, and the people in the yamen were mixed for a while, and the apprentices, doctors, officials, attendants and guards accompanying officials in the medical hall were all mixed together.
Ling Qingye looked at this scene, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped high.
Ling Xiaotian was very patient, and asked people to set aside a place in the backyard for treating patients, and the side courtyard on one side was set aside for those in the hospital hall to use.
Su Baitong and Dr. Miao had a brief discussion, and decided to go back to the incense pavilion to get some insect repellent incense first, so as to temporarily stop these people's headaches. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, spices will be prepared to treat them one by one.
After being busy all day, the sachets of insect repellent incense in Su Baitong's hand were gone, and Ling Xiaotian sent people to the incense pavilion several times to pick up the goods, and in the end Begonia only sent ten sachets.
"That's all." Begonia said with a bitter face.
Su Baitong was slightly surprised: "I remember that there are still some in Curry, why are there only a few left?" ”
Haitang said: "Those were all bought by the people in the city. ”
After a busy day, Su Baitong's face could not hide the tiredness, Ling Xiaotian came over and said, "There are Dr. Miao here, I will send a ghost to send you back first, and I will pick you up tomorrow morning." ”
Dr. Miao didn't have any spices on hand to attract insects, so he could only use sachets to restrain the headaches of these patients this night, and they couldn't do anything else.
Su Baitong nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
Ling Xiaotian turned around and ordered the ghost face. "You send Miss Su back, and stay at the Incense Pavilion at night."
Qi Ren Insect Niang is now at large, and with the ghost face by her side, he can also feel at ease.
Ghost Face surrendered his fate.
Su Baitong had just taken a few steps, suddenly stopped, and beckoned to Ling Xiaotian.
Ling Xiaotian leaned over, and Su Baitong said in a low voice: "Those two attendants, you can take care of them separately from everyone." ”
A hint of cunning flashed in Ling Xiaotian's eyes. "Kiriki means ......"
"The insect repellent incense is not in a hurry to use it for them first, although it will hurt a little tonight, but it will make them remember this matter forever."
Ling Xiaotian's shoulders trembled slightly, and he couldn't hold back a smile, "Tongtong is really ruthless, I have to pay attention, and I must not offend you in the future." ”
Su Baitong glared at him helplessly.
Both know each other. The two chamberlains are going back to the palace to reply to the decree, and they will tell the emperor everything they have seen here.
They have suffered such a great sin here, and their hearts are naturally angry, and if they were healed happily, how could they understand this pain.
She wanted them to know who saved them and who saved them from their sickness, and in turn, they would naturally remember why they had suffered this sin.
If she wants to rely on her own strength to return to Kyoto, she naturally has the support of the palace. And the "emperor's favor" is an excellent shield, especially in the palace, if there can be a talkative chamberlain to help him, the effect is often more obvious than entrusting the ministers below.
When Su Baitong returned to the Incense Pavilion, it was getting late.
The shops on both sides of the street had long since turned off their lights, and in the distance, only the paper lantern at the entrance of the incense pavilion could be seen, still swaying in the night breeze.
Ghost Face escorted Su Baitong out of the carriage, and Begonia opened the door to welcome them in.
As soon as Su Baitong returned to the room, the door of the shop outside the Incense Pavilion was slammed.
The young man on night duty in the store said loudly: "Who is it? The shop is closed! "They also had a busy day today, and they all wanted to rest early.
But the knocking on the door was still loud outside.
"We're going to buy insect repellent incense, I beg you...... Open the door......"
The guy in the store said angrily: "The insect repellent incense has already been bought, you will come back tomorrow during the day." ”
"Please...... We are all poor people, and if we do suffer from that disease, we don't even have the money to go to the hospital...... I just want Miss Su's sachet to protect us......" The voice outside begged, obviously not the person who came.
The shopkeeper looked out through the crack in the door, and saw a lot of people gathered under the steps, all of whom shrank outside the door and refused to leave.
The guy had no choice but to go to find Begonia.
Begonia is very simple, "There is no sachet we just opened the door and there is nothing to buy for others, now I think of our lady's good come, and all gathered in front of the store that day to talk about ......"
Haitang spoke loudly, the people outside heard it, and the sound of knocking on the door gradually lowered, but they still didn't leave, Su Baitong washed out, changed into clean clothes, and asked Huixiang: "Are those people still gathered outside?" ”
Huixiang nodded, "I can't even drive away." "Brother Hongmu.
In fact, Huixiang was also dissatisfied, when Su Baitong was just rescued by Ling Xiaotian, how many people said cool things in front of the store, and now that it is difficult to turn around, they all think of the benefits of the Incense Pavilion.
Su Baitong said: "You go and call Begonia, I still have some finished spices here, as long as they are matched in proportion." ”
Hui Xiang was surprised: "Miss, what do you mean ......"
"Open the door." Su Baitong pulled up his half-wet head and put on a robe.
The whole street was pitch black, except for the lantern in front of the incense pavilion, which made people feel stable when they looked at it from afar.
The young man in the store had to open the door and let the people outside line up, and they prepared insect repellent incense with Begonia on the spot.
Sachets are still the most common and cheapest goods on the market, but now they are held in the hands of those people and regarded as treasures.
Five copper plates and one incense sachet are still at this price, and the people who left the incense pavilion all thought of Su Baitong's goodness.
Haitang looked at the busy guys in the store, and couldn't help sighing, this kind of thing is completely thankless, in the eyes of outsiders, their incense pavilion business is prosperous, but in fact, they don't make a profit on insect repellent incense at all.
"Don't worry, sooner or later there will be a time to make money." Su Baitong always persuaded her like this.
Haitang was busy for a while, looked up and inadvertently glanced out of the door, but was surprised to see that the queue outside was longer than just now.
There were only three guys in the store, plus her...... You can't bring Su Baitong to help.
Begonia has a bitter face, there are not enough manpower at all!
She was worried, and suddenly saw more than a dozen yamen servants coming in from outside, Xu Mingshan was the first to walk in and said: "Miss Begonia, Hei said that you need manpower, and we are here to help." ”
Begonia hurriedly beckoned them in, while asking the guys to assign them to do things.
The spices were all prepared by Su Baitong in advance, divided into small portions by the guys according to the dose, and then subcontracted by the officials and packed into sachets.
The incense pavilion was busy, and more and more people gathered outside, and many people rushed to hear the news, for fear that they would no longer be able to buy insect repellent incense during the day.
Su Baitong did not sleep in the house, but sat in the shadow of the lamp in his clothes and began to make incense.
I don't know how long later, a low voice suddenly came from outside the window: "Who is it?" ”
Immediately afterwards, there is a symphony of collisions between soldiers.
