Chapter 124 Spend money is to spend

Worrying about the restaurant is not over yet.

Shen Qingling went to the medical clinic again in the afternoon, at that time Liu Xiuwu was with his younger brother, learning medicine while retrieving his memory, but he learned it well.Seeing Shen Qingling approaching, he quickly packed up the things at hand, and walked up quickly.

"Second lady, good day, several doctors in the Children's Clinic have decided together that they want to prepare more medicines for heatstroke prevention and epidemic prevention before midsummer comes." Liu Xiuwu read the list to Shen Qingling, and after reading it, he presented the list In front of Shen Qingling.

Since it is necessary to prevent heatstroke and epidemic, it is a good thing to benefit the country and the people, but in this way, the Shen family's expenses will increase again.

"Who suggested it?" Shen Qingling asked suddenly.

Liu Xiuwu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Doctor Chen started it. He said that the medical clinic would be like this in previous years, but before that, he would ask those gentry and wealthy families to pay. This year, the Shangguan's family has a wedding, so the medical clinic is inconvenient to come to. "

It's not that Shangguan Yulin wants to marry.

Of course, Shangguan Zhenye would not make up his mind now, so this time it was Shangguan Yan who married a wealthy family in Jinzhou.Although it wasn't considered a Zanying family, it was a rich family and it didn't count as treating Shangguan Yan badly.

However, Shangguan Yan was still not happy.

Therefore, during this time, when Shen Qingling went to Shangguan's house occasionally, she would often see Shangguanyan's maidservant coming out of Shangguanyan's yard crying, looking like she had been beaten and scolded.

Let's talk about epidemic prevention.

Although these things are good things, they are really inappropriate to mention when there is a big happy event in the family's house, so the medical center can only figure out a way for it.

Now Shen Qingling has a total of six restaurants, three incense shops and three medical clinics in Yangzhou.

Except for the first one opened in the outskirts of the city, the rest of the restaurants were money-losing goods taken over from the Du family. They only gained fame and prestige, but they didn't really bring any benefits to Shen Qingling.

Under Shen Qingling's continuous emergence of new fragrances, Xiangfang can lay a solid foundation for the operation of the Shen family, but the expansion of Xiangfang requires a large amount of money to support it.

Moreover, the business of Xiangfang, which is rare and expensive, is a little different from ordinary business. It is not that if you open too many, you need to expand the industry, but you need to operate more carefully.

In the end, the medical clinics remained, and the doctors employed by the three medical clinics were all the doctors from the original medical clinics before the annexation, which saved Shen Qingling a lot of work, but in this way, the complicated problems in the original medical clinics still existed.

The key point is that Shen Qingling built the medical clinic more for the sake of fame, so most of the people who went to the Shen's medical clinic to see a doctor were from poor families, and they didn't spend much money, and there was no profit in it.

In general, Shen Qingling is very short of money now.

"Then let Dr. Chen come over." Hearing what Liu Xiuwu said, Shen Qingling nodded, and sat beside Liu Xiuwen, "I'll talk to him in detail in summer to see how to arrange it later."

Liu Xiuwen cast a sideways glance at Shen Qingling, and after his elder brother left, he tilted his head and reminded in a low voice: "These doctors used to be the live-in doctors of the Ling family, they were a bit arrogant, and they spent a lot of money. Be careful."

The Ling family and the Du family are good friends of Qin and Jin. Since the accident happened to the Du family, the Ling family has also suffered bad luck and lost most of their family property. Now they are hiding in the Lingnan area, planning to spend money to avoid disaster.

These people who previously worked in the Ling family were not stupid, they naturally knew that those who could take over the Du family's property must have made trouble, so it was only natural for some people to be dissatisfied with Shen Qingling.

"I've heard of Dr. Chen's name." Shen Qingling picked up the hot tea handed by the drug boy, and said with her eyes closed, "I heard that when the Yellow River burst its embankment a few years ago, he followed the Ling family to Hexi He has saved people, presumably because of his benevolent hand, so it is not impossible for me to help him."

There were no outsiders in the hall, and the drug boy was Liu Xiuwen's own drug boy, so there was no risk in talking privately.

"Yes, he has been to the Yellow River for disaster relief." Liu Xiuwen nodded, his expression still solemn, "But he is also a person who is very nostalgic, no matter what, you should be more careful."

When Dr. Chen came over, he was still holding a medicine bowl in his hand, and when he took a step, the medicine juice in it would shake a few times, almost overflowing.

"But you interrupted Dr. Chen's consultation to prescribe medicine?" Shen Qingling smiled and got up and went over, and saluted thoughtfully, "If so, the younger generation apologizes to Dr. Chen first, and I hope that Dr. Chen will not blame him."

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.

Dr. Chen saw that Shen Qingling was a smart little lady who knew how to advance and retreat, and the resentment in his heart was a little less, when he spoke, he was a lot gentler, "Mrs. You have to listen to the orders of Mrs. Shen's family, so it's not a question of whether to interrupt or not."

Liu Xiuwen sent a wide chair from behind, asking Dr. Chen to sit down.

And Shen Qingling motioned for the medicine boy to bring tea, and said with a smile: "According to my age, it is not too much for me to call Dr. Chen uncle. Oh, by the way, the epidemic prevention that Dr. Chen and other doctors mentioned earlier The method of preventing heatstroke is quite good, but do you know if Dr. Chen has any more specific plans?"

It is impossible for Dr. Chen not to step down the steps.

He looked at Shen Qingling, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was born out of blue, and felt sorry for Du's and Ling's families.After a while, he nodded and said, "Yangzhou is rich and prosperous. In the past years, we have taken the lead and set an example for medical clinics around the world. This year, Shangguan's family has a happy event and it is inconvenient to come forward. The city's Chinese medicine clinics need to do their own things to prevent problems before they happen."

Well, it’s not the same as saying it.

In fact, Shen Qingling didn't think that this was Dr. Chen trying to trick him, no, maybe Dr. Chen really wanted to vent his anger on the old master, but hosting major events in various medical centers also meant opportunities for Shen Qingling.

Money is spent.

If after spending the money, he can get the support of the surrounding prefectural and county medical clinics in one fell swoop, or if he is famous for being a wise man, then for Shen Qingling, it will be a blessing in disguise.

"Ahem." Liu Xiuwen cleared his throat, and interrupted: "Prevention is a good thing, but there was no reason to pay for it in the past, right? The Shen family is not very rich, just like Yangzhou can't find a second Shangguan family." For the wealthy family, this year's epidemic prevention and heatstroke prevention can be done in a small way within the boundaries of Yangzhou."

That's right.

Dr. Chen's anti-epidemic and heatstroke prevention, in addition to building charitable halls in Yangzhou and various prefectures and counties, also requires medical centers in various places to form a few batches of very good doctors, and take medicinal materials in exchange for money funded by wealthy families to go to those remote villages.

It is a great good thing, but it is not something ordinary merchants can afford to spend money.

Hearing Liu Xiuwen interrupted, Doctor Chen turned his head and gave him a cold look, and said, "It is my duty to practice medicine and treat diseases. If I don't go this year, if an epidemic breaks out in the surrounding countryside, will Doctor Liu be responsible?"

More than ten years ago, a plague broke out in Dong County, causing more than half of Yangzhou to be implicated, and countless people's wives and children were separated. Only then did this benevolent act of medical centers from all over the country join hands to fight against the heat and epidemic before the arrival of summer.
