Chapter 410
Although such a day is busy, it is also simple. Although it is ordinary, is this not happiness?

When you get home, there is a light always on for you, and someone is always waiting for you to go home. How can this not be happiness?
Xia Yan was thinking wildly like this, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong in this room.He glanced around with his eyes, just in time to see Qiulin sitting on the bed, staring at him earnestly.

Xia Yan shuddered all over, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he walked towards Qiulin, rubbed Qiulin's hair, and said softly: "Today the sun came out from the west, why are you so busy all this time? Haven't slept yet?" One must know that when Xia Yan returned to the house in the past, Qiu Lin had already rested early.The pregnant woman was lethargic and felt like sleeping from time to time, and Qiulin was no exception.

So this time Qiu Lin didn't sleep yet, but sat on the bed like this, Xia Yan felt a little surprised.But in addition to being surprised, Xia Yan suddenly understood that Qiu Lin must have something to say to him.

Looking at Xia Yan's face that was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar, Qiu Lin suddenly felt in a daze.Obviously the two of them embraced each other at night and were the closest people, but at this moment she felt a little jerky when she saw Xia Yan.At this time, Qiulin felt that it was the right move to open a chain store for Rong An Tang.

She didn't want to hug brother Xia Yan every day without having much communication with each other.In such a busy day, I lost my original thoughts.

Qiu Lin suddenly reached out and hugged Xia Yan with both hands.Calling out in a soft voice: "Brother Xia Yan..."

The call of Xia Yan's brother made Xia Yan feel dazed for a while. These days are busy, and the time between him and Qiu Lin has been staggered. something.Hearing Qiu Lin calling his name in a soft, almost coquettish tone, Xia Yan's nose turned sour, and tears soon filled his eyes.

"En." Xia Yan solemnly hummed, feeling sour and uncomfortable.It's been a long time since he heard Qiulin call himself Brother Xia Yan so coquettishly.Now suddenly hearing Qiu Lin's call, the softest part of Xia Yan's heart was touched, and tears were about to fall.

He is not a sentimental person, but right now he does have an urge to cry.

Seeing Xia Yan's moved face, Qiu Lin felt uncomfortable.But when he thought that if that happened, brother Xia Yan would be relatively more relaxed, so Qiu Lin cheered up again and tugged on Xia Yan's sleeve. "Brother Xia Yan, I have something to discuss with you."

Xia Yan barely suppressed the urge to cry in his heart, wrapped the little Qiulin in his arms, and stroked Qiulin's drooping black hair with his fingertips, he hooked his lips, his voice was low, with a trace of emotion . "Well, tell me, I'm listening."

Qiu Lin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then began to say: "Brother Xia Yan, our Rong'an Hall only has a few hands and a few pairs of feet, but there are so many patients who come to see a doctor every day. Even if we are busy all day and all night, we I can't finish the pulse diagnosis!" Qiu Lin sighed in his eyes. "Besides, now that our Rong'an Hall is famous, many foreigners come here to seek medical treatment. In this way, not only our Rong'an Hall is overwhelmed, but even the patients who come from afar are also exhausted. Is there half life left?"

In fact, this is not an exaggeration by Qiulin, it is indeed a phenomenon that exists.The medical skills in ancient times were not as developed as in modern times. If there are at most four or five medical clinics in a small town, that would be considered remarkable.But there are so many people living in these four villages and eight townships, the medical clinic is naturally full all the time.

In addition, Rong'an Hall is famous, and now it's saying that it doesn't cost money to treat the poor.These people naturally squeezed here like crazy.

Xia Yan couldn't figure out Qiu Lin's thoughts, he stroked her small head, squeezed out a smile on his slightly tired cheeks, and asked softly: "Could it be that Ah Lin came up with another good idea? "

Going out early and returning late all day, he really couldn't bear it these days.If it goes on like this, it will definitely not work, the patient has already fallen out of bed from exhaustion before the pulse is checked.

Qiulin had done her best, and seeing Xia Yan really asked a question, she stopped showing off.Blinking his eyes at Xia Yan, he said crisply: "It's not a good idea, but this idea should not be bad. It can not only solve the immediate urgent problem, but also make a long-term plan. Actually, this method is quite simple. I don’t know if Brother Xia Yan has heard of franchises or franchising before?”

Chain, franchise, what is that?Xia Yan's eyes froze, and he shook his head obediently at Qiu Lin.It is estimated that this thing is from Qiulin's era.

Then Qiulin said again, "Actually, this chain franchise is also very easy to understand. It can be simply understood as opening branches. Doesn't Tongjitang in the Imperial Capital have branches in many provinces across the country?"

So that's what happened!Xia Yan just nodded his head, but he still didn't understand, what does the Tongjitang branch have to do with them?But Xia Yan's mind slipped, and he came to his senses very quickly.As soon as the idea popped up in his mind, he couldn't wait to ask Qiulin, "Ah Lin, you mean Rong An Tang also opened a branch?"

A glint of approval quickly flashed in Qiu Lin's bright eyes, and she gave Xia Yan a thumbs up, "Yes, that's what I mean!"

"Brother Xia Yan, I've thought about it. As far as the current situation is concerned, even if the Rong'an Hall of our Xia Mansion expands its area and hires more people for medicine boys, it won't be able to handle it. Planting medicinal materials is also very tight. But we opened a branch store and diverted this patient, so the situation will be relatively alleviated. Moreover, we will open Rong'antang to some surrounding counties and towns, and there is no need to order patients from those places to come again Going back and forth and delaying the illness. In this way, won’t our Rong’an Hall’s signboard go out?”

Xia Yan dubiously listened to Qiu Lin's words, and felt that opening a branch was really okay.It's just that their Xia family has a small population, so how can there be people who can split off to open a branch?

"A Lin, your idea is good. It's just that you don't know that our Xia family is small, how can anyone entrust important tasks? After all, opening a branch is not a small matter!" This idea is good, but it's a pity that they Xia Mansion doesn't have that many people!
Seeing that Xia Yan had such concerns, Qiu Lin continued, "Brother Xia Yan, as far as I know, the population of Tongjitang is not very prosperous, right? But isn't that why they opened so many Tongjitangs? The branch has nothing to do with the number of people in the family. You grew up in a wealthy family, and you must have seen how the brothers and sisters in those wealthy and prosperous families fought with each other and competed for power. A big family, if everyone It’s okay to be single-minded and energetic in one place. But if people disagree with each other and everyone disagrees, wouldn’t it endanger the whole family?”

Qiulin felt that she had gone a little too far, and besides, it was getting late now, and Xia Yan's brother would be busy with work early in the morning, so she would make a long story short. "Brother Xia Yan, just now I have said that there are two ways to open a branch. One is to join and the other is to chain. If it is a chain, it will still be the main family of Rong An Tang, and people from the family will take care of it. If it is a franchise, it is to attract some doctors with foreign surnames Well, they will open their own clinics to see patients, but they will be named after our Rong'an Hall, and we will also gather these doctors with other surnames to teach them the medical skills of our Xia family. Of course, there is no free lunch in the world .We can share the bill with this kind of franchised pharmacy. In this way, we don't have to worry about the shortage of manpower."

After hearing this, Xia Yan thought it was a fairy tale.His eyes widened in shock.The reason why their Rong'an Hall can stand still is because of their medical skills in treating diseases.Now according to what Qiulin said, pass on this medical skill to others?Then after those doctors with foreign surnames have learned the medical skills of the Xia family, and then set up another family, wouldn't it be to shake the foundation of their Rong'an Hall?Xia Yan broke out in a cold sweat and shook his head repeatedly.

"A Lin, have you ever thought that if this happens, there will be no Rong'an Hall in the world after a hundred years. If this doesn't happen, if our Xia family's medical skills are all handed down, what will our Xia family rely on in the future?" Survive?"

Xia Yan was a little speechless, and he didn't know what Qiu Lin was thinking, that he would come up with such an idea?
Qiu Lin also thought about the matter Xia Yan mentioned. Although as a master, it is understandable to teach his apprentices all he can, there is a saying in the world that teaches apprentices to starve to death of the master.It would indeed be too risky to teach the medical skills of Rong An Tang to those doctors with foreign surnames.Therefore, she had long thought of a trick to avoid such a thing from happening.

Compared to Xia Yan's expression of shock and horror, Qiu Lin's expression was calm and fearless.

"Brother Xia Yan, you haven't finished listening to me. Of course I also know the principle of teaching apprentices to starve their masters to death. So I didn't say that I would teach these people with other surnames the medical skills of our Xia family! Teaching is just an ordinary medical skill for curing diseases and saving lives. Of course, you can also teach some medical skills for treating difficult and miscellaneous diseases. But the most important and most quintessential things of the Xia family must not be taught. Otherwise, our Rong'an Hall will be replaced by others. It's a matter of time."

Qiu Lin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then raised his eyes to see Xia Yan's complexion slowly turning from pale to normal, and then continued: "Well, I know Brother Xia Yan's concerns, and I also know that we should have reservations about those doctors with foreign surnames. , This will be beneficial to long-term development! I know that there are some unique pills in Rong'an Tang. For this kind of pills, we can make them in our own Rong'an Tang and then send them to other Rong'an Tangs that have franchise stores. Go. This way you won’t be afraid of the prescription being leaked.”
