Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 460 Difference

When the gorgeous sunset filled the sky, Song Ying ended a day of seeing patients and arrived at Shen's house in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Before she even reached the kitchen, she saw Xiaolu coming towards her with a food box. She was very surprised to see her: "Sister Song Ying! You're here!"

Song Ying smiled and nodded, then asked, "Where are you going?"

Xiaolu curled her lips and pointed in the direction of Fengheyuan: "Send food over there."

Song Ying was silent for a moment, and without asking any more questions, he took out something wrapped in a handkerchief and handed it over. "We have a new batch of molds in our store, and we made cat-shaped pancreas. They will be available the day after tomorrow. If you have time that day, please go over and help support us. And by the way, tell the other sisters for me."

"Cat shape?" Xiaolu's eyes lit up, and he ignored her polite words and urged excitedly, "Let me see it now!"

Yingnuoxuan is the largest soap shop in Qingshui County. It doesn't need any extra people to show up. She took the snow-white soap from Song Ying and her heart softened at the first sight. "So cute!"

It was the shape of a kitten raising its front paws. The cat's face was somewhat similar to Tangtang, but it was more adorable.

She looked at it over and over again, unable to let it go. After a while, she asked, "What is the difference between this cat pancreas and the previous one? How much does it cost?"

"There is no difference, just the shape is different, and the price is the same as before." Song Ying replied with a smile. At first they wanted to increase the price by one penny, but gave up after discussion.

Made into a cat shape, the cake is actually smaller in weight than the ordinary round or long pieces at the beginning, and yet it is still sold at the previous price, which is already a disguised price increase. They feel a bit guilty about raising the price again just because of the unique shape.

"Really?" Xiaolu was incredulous. "You guys are too honest. I'd be happy to buy this cute pancreas even if the price goes up by a cent or two!"

After a pause, she asked curiously, "The new mold must have cost a lot of money, right? Won't you lose money by selling it this way?"

Song Ying felt even more guilty after hearing this. "Haha, it's not like we're losing money. We're all regular customers, and it would be a shame to raise the price rashly. It's okay for us to make less money. When doing business, we have to have a long-term vision, so that it benefits you, me, and everyone else."

Xiaolu looked at Song Ying with more gratitude and sincerity, "Sister Song Ying, you guys are so kind! Don't worry, even if you have surgery the day after tomorrow, I will definitely go and take a look!"

"The main thing is that you are very kind and have been taking care of our business." Feeling guilty, Song Ying decided to run away. "Well, Master is still waiting for me. I'll leave first and we'll talk later."

"Hey, wait a minute. Doctor Lin is still in the main courtyard." Xiaolu pulled her back and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she lowered her voice and asked, "Is your fellow scholar from the same hometown engaged?"

Song Ying was stunned. "Are you talking about Yuan Qing?"

"Yes, it's him." Xiaolu was very excited.

Song Ying was suspicious and said, "I haven't heard of it, so it shouldn't happen, but I'm not sure. Why are you asking this?"

Xiaolu looked around again and gossiped, "Didn't he get first place in the provincial examination this time? I heard that the old master is very optimistic about him and is interested in marrying into his family. He wants to betroth the sixth young lady to him."

"Marry?" Song Ying was a little confused for a moment, but then he understood. Yes, Yuan Qing was already a virgin, and he was the top scorer in the provincial examination at the age of fourteen. He was rare in the whole Daqian and had a promising future. He also had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes and excellent character. It was normal for Shen Zhuangyuan to choose him as his grandson-in-law.

The Yuan family was determined to marry him to a lady from a noble family, the granddaughter of a minister, and the Yuan family must have been very satisfied.

She let out a long breath and said in a low voice: "That's good, the man is talented and the woman is beautiful, they are a good match."

Xiaolu stared at her and said with a wicked smile, "Sister Song Ying, you seem very unhappy. Tell me the truth, do you like Yuan Qing?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Song Ying stared at her, and looked around anxiously. Seeing that there was no one around, he felt relieved and said in defense, "I am a little unhappy, but that's because I think of myself. He passed the exam and became a student, and his status has been greatly improved in the eyes of everyone. But I have paid as much as he has, but in the eyes of my family, I am still worthless."

Xiaolu has known a lot about her family over the years, and she also knows that her grandmother often scolds her for being unfilial. She holds Song Ying's hand and comforts him, "You are already very capable, but this is different. He is taking the imperial examination and can become an official in the future."

"I know." Song Ying smiled.

Seeing that Song Ying quickly got over his low mood, Xiao Lu sighed and said, "We all thought you two would be a couple. What a pity."

Song Ying: “…”

"Why do you think so?"

"Aren't you from the same hometown? You've been childhood sweethearts, and he saved your life. Isn't it often said in operas that if you can't repay the life-saving grace, you should give yourself to him? You are such a perfect match!"

Song Ying was even more speechless. "You believe everything made up in the opera. Marriage is such an important matter. How can you marry someone just because he saved your life? If the person who saved your life is a bastard, wouldn't your whole life be ruined if you marry him?"

"How could that be? Saving people means he is kind-hearted and can't be a bad person."

Song Ying didn't want to discuss this with her. "I really have to go. My master is going to test me today. I have to review before she goes back."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll definitely go to the store the day after tomorrow." Xiaolu let her go.

Arriving at Doctor Lin's yard, Song Ying rubbed his chest and exhaled heavily, only then did he feel better.

After reviewing for nearly a quarter of an hour, Doctor Lin came back and asked, "How long have you been waiting?"

"Not long."

After reading for a while, the depression in his heart dissipated a lot. After serving tea to Doctor Lin and taking a rest for a while, Song Ying said confidently: "Master, let's take the test! I'm ready!"

Doctor Lin shook his head, "No need, you have already entered the door, you have to practice on your own in the future."

"Ah, not taking the exam anymore?" Song Ying was a little confused. Did this mean that she had completed the exam?

Doctor Lin nodded: "You have learned how to prescribe medicine, take pulses, and apply acupuncture to meridians. Your current medical skills are sufficient to deal with common diseases. The rest is for you to accumulate experience in treating diseases. As for whether you want to continue reading books and studying, it depends on you.

Learning is your own business. You can’t spend your whole life reading and studying under the requirements of teachers. People like that will never achieve great things.”

"Master, please don't. I have only learned a little bit. I have many illnesses recently and I have no way to treat them."

Doctor Lin smiled. She had heard about this. Ever since her disciple cured Madam He San, her reputation had spread. During this period, many patients suffering from Shen Ke's stubborn illness came to her clinic.

She has also noticed her apprentice's performance during this period. In the face of praise from others, she did not become complacent, but was worried about whether she could do the job and studied even harder.

It is precisely because of this that she can let go with confidence.
