Chapter 128: Expanding Business

Aunt Li approached the medical hall and smiled straightforwardly: "Yo, Sister Li is busy?" Then you get busy first, and I'll sit for a while. ā€

"Okay."

Lu Jiangli smiled and nodded, and only breathed a sigh of relief after reading the patients one after another.

The patient is gone, and the pharmacy is empty.

Aunt Li smiled and handed her the two grades of skirts, and said happily: "Ah Li, I am fortunate to listen to your opinion and did not rush to make thick cotton short jackets, otherwise we would really lose a lot!" A while ago, the convoy transporting cotton came back, saying that the cloth village in the city was full of this kind of thick cotton short jacket, and the imitation was called a real one! ā€

"Therefore, the price is lower than the other! This is thick cotton, and some of it will be sold for a dozen taels of silver! Do you remember, we all cost ten silver! And now, the thick cotton jacket is constantly falling, can we still sell this coarse cloth jacket? ā€

Lu Jiangli frowned, glanced at the two people eavesdropping outside the door, got up and closed the door of the pharmacy, and then made a pot of tea for Aunt Li unhurriedly: "I didn't expect that the ancient piracy with underdeveloped information would also be imitated so quickly. In less than a month, the style of short jackets began to become popular in all major cities. ā€

She pondered and asked, "Aunt Li, how many pieces of coarse cloth jackets have been made now?" ā€

Aunt Li stretched out a finger and said with a worried face: "About a thousand, and the cost of cotton is too expensive, and it is far from enough, how can this be done?" I'm here today just to ask if I want to continue to buy cotton and continue to make coarse cloth jackets? ā€

The cost of cotton is expensive, which leads to the high price of cotton clothing, and the cost of coarse cloth jackets is also expensive.

And in the villages and towns, the people can't even afford to eat, where can they have spare money to buy clothes?

Lu Jiangli twisted his eyebrows and thought seriously: "No! Stop making clothes immediately, and sell coarse cloth jackets to major towns and villages as soon as possible! Otherwise, when the price of thick cotton jackets falls close to the cost, our coarse cloth jackets will not be sold. ā€

After all, there is not much difference in the price between the two grades of clothing, and people will naturally choose thicker cotton with more high-end fabrics.

Aunt Li is also afraid of losing the opportunity, no, she has already started to sell coarse cloth short jackets in Qinghe Town!

She patted her leg anxiously, "Yes! Ouch, but I don't have enough people here! Qinghe Town Cloth Village is going to be sold, and we are still building a factory, I have to keep an eye on the process; I still want to recruit Xiu Niang, I can't leave here! But I don't feel at ease when I hand it over to others, what can I do? ā€

Lu Jiangli saw Aunt Li's thoughts, and smiled casually: "Aunt Li, do you want me to go?" ā€

Aunt Li covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and generously admitted: "Hey, Ah Li's girl is too smart!" Auntie does have this thought, why? Because my aunt doesn't have a matchmaker from a foreign country! If you can't find an acquaintance, our way won't be opened, let alone selling clothes, I'm afraid that you will be in trouble just now! ā€

"Those township cloth village bosses are very repulsive to outsiders! So, Auntie thinks that you are smart and clever, maybe you can think of a way to build this line! ā€

"However, my aunt also knows that you are busy, if you are really not available, why don't we send someone you can trust?"

"Not only can you be trusted, but you must also be competent!" Lu Jiangli stretched his waist and pounded his shoulder, "I'd better go!" It just so happens that I also want to increase my knowledge! By the way, Aunt Li, you have a wide range of contacts, do you know where to buy rice, noodles, pots and pans cheapest? ā€

Aunt Li heard that she promised to go in person, and happily stood up from her position: "Okay! I knew you had a lot of courage! But what are you asking for? ā€

Lu Jiangli's eyes looked at her and smiled mysteriously: "Keep it secret for the time being, just say if there is a place to get cheap goods." ā€

Aunt Li smiled as if she didn't understand: "That's okay, Auntie won't ask!" There is a place for you to inquire! ā€

……

Five days later.

In the inner courtyard of the hospital, Ling'er's body temperature has returned to normal, and there is no recurrent fever, and her mental state is also good.

On this day, Ling'er was on a drip, and Aunt Zhou fed her with noodles one by one.

Due to Ling'er's serious condition, Lu Jiangli let their mother and daughter live in the hospital; And in order to facilitate the observation of Ling'er and Su Mu's condition, she simply lived in the infirmary.

Old Zhou came to the door a few times, but was blasted out by Lu Jiangli.

Knock Knock –

Aunt Zhou heard the knock on the door, hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and went to open the door; Seeing that it was Lu Jiangli, she smiled a little ashamedly and said, "Sister Li'er is here?" I—I'm thinking about consulting with you! I wondered if the child's fever had subsided and his cough was almost gone, so why don't we go back today? The medicine expenses, food money, and Ling'er's clothes in the past few days will be when my old Zhou comes back, and I will definitely ask him to make up for you. ā€

This time, she really wanted to thank Lu Jiangli for coming.

If it weren't for her, I'm afraid Ling'er would have run out of gas a long time ago.

Moreover, in the past few days, she has also seen clearly that Sister Li'er is buying clothes for Ling'er, taking care of their mother and daughter's diet, and letting them live in the hospital; And she herself lives in the infirmary, taking care of Ling'er day and night.

Xiaobao is also very well-behaved and cute, and often teaches Ling'er to read and tell stories to Ling'er; If there is anything delicious or fun, I will give one to Ling'er.

This kindness will be remembered for the rest of her life.

"I'll be exempt this time, just let me repay Uncle Zhou's favor. In addition, whether Ling'er is healed or not, I need to observe again. ā€

To be honest, Lu Jiangli doesn't have a good impression of Aunt Zhou, this woman has humiliated her three times and twice, if it weren't for Uncle Zhou's face, she wouldn't want to pay attention to her at all.

Lu Jiangli's lukewarm attitude made Aunt Zhou even more embarrassed and ashamed, "How can this be done?" Lao Zhou just helped lift your father, and he can't compare with you at all! I know I've made you ugly and had some conflicts before; I sincerely apologize to you today, thank you for saving my daughter's life! ā€

After speaking, Aunt Zhou also bowed deeply to her.

Now that she has talked about this, if Lu Jiangli can't let it go anymore, won't it seem that she has a small belly?

She pursed her lips lightly and said, "It's okay, let the past pass." ā€

As she spoke, she took the stethoscope and walked straight to Ling'er's bedside and listened carefully to Ling'er's lungs.

"Ling'er is recovering well, her cough symptoms have been reduced a lot, and her body temperature is normal; However, rales are still present in the lungs, and the inflammation has not completely subsided. If you take her back now, chances are she will recur. ā€

"But I will leave Qinghe Town for a while today, and I will prepare the medicine and ask the village chief to give you the medicine; Take the medicine you take on time......"

When Ling'er heard that Lu Jiangli was leaving, a look of reluctance appeared in her eyes, "Aunt Li, is Xiaobao going too?" ā€

Lu Jiangli tangled her eyebrows, pretending to be angry and said, "Oh, it turns out that Ling'er is not reluctant to me, but reluctant to Xiaobao?" ā€

Ling'er is only eight years old, which is the age of innocence, she pouted: "Of course I can't bear Aunt Li and Xiaobao!" Xiaobao is gone, and there is no one to play with me! No one tells me stories anymore! Aunt Li, will you let Xiaobao stay? ā€

Obviously, she is her sister, but in front of Xiaobao, she is like a stupid person who doesn't know anything.

She also wants to be like Xiaobao, cool and understand everything.

Aunt Zhou saw that the child was too much, and hurriedly scolded: "Ling'er, you can't do this!" Xiaobao will be back in a few days, what are you anxious about? ā€

Lu Jiangli sneered and scratched the tip of Ling'er's nose: "Okay, Ling'er don't shake me!" I wasn't going to take Xiaobao with me! He should be in town for a while. ā€

Ling'er saw that Lu Jiangli had spoken, and clapped her hands excitedly: "Okay, okay, then I also want to live in the town." ā€

"Well, then Ling'er should take care of her illness, and she can only play when she is well."

Su Mu's condition also stabilized, Lu Jiangli invited the village chief to the pharmacy for consultation, Bai Shi and Lu Yishi helped to make chilblain cream, everything was ready, and it was time for her to embark on a new journey.
