General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

46 Consultation Fee

In the following days, Su Cheng would go to Zhang Dao’s house every day.

Zhang Dao did not dare to return to town.

Su Xiaoxiao’s business was booming, and her wife cakes had become a little famous on the streets. 100 pancakes a day was no longer enough but Su Xiaoxiao didn’t increase the quantity. Instead, she added two new snacks-chestnut cake and egg yolk pastry.

Every time they would be sold out in less than two hours.

Manager Sun came to look for her a few more times, wanting to buy her formula, but Su Xiaoxiao didn’t agree.

The academy’s orders were increasing, and so was the braised food business.

She did not set the price cheaply, but she sold her goods. Moreover, because the braised food business was too good, the butcher’s own pork business also prospered.

“This is for today.” Luo Dazhuang handed two strings of copper coins to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao counted the money and handed it to Su Ergou.

Luo Dazhuang said, “The market will be closed soon. It can only open after the 15th of January next year.”

The atmosphere of the ancient Chinese New Year was much thicker than in her previous life. Basically, shops and stalls began to close one after another in the middle of December.

“After I finish my business for the next few days, I’ll come over on the 16th of January,” she said to Luo Dazhuang.

Luo Dazhuang wanted to say that he might not open on the 16th of January, but when he met the little fat girl’s expectant gaze, he swallowed his words.

“...Alright.” Luo Dazhuang casually picked up a piece of pork belly. “There aren’t many customers left in the market. This probably won’t be sold. Take it back.”

This was high-grade plum blossom meat. It was not even noon, so how could it not be sold?

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t expose him. She accepted the pork belly and handed him a bag of snacks.

It was not as a return gift for the plum blossom meat. She had prepared it early.

The interactions between people were very mysterious. Some cooperated because of benefits, while others because of their compatible nature.

“I’ll leave first.” Su Xiaoxiao bade him farewell.

Luo Dazhuang opened his mouth and finally decided to stop her. “Um... If I didn’t choose to share the profits with you, what kind of supply price would you have given me?”

“Yes.” Su Xiaoxiao thought about it seriously. “Every catty should be five copper coins less than the current price.”

“Is this the minimum supply price you mentioned? It’s only five cents less?”

Most of the little girl’s braised food was sold for 40 copper coins a catty. He could get eight copper coins if he split it 20-80.

The cheapest meat was 30 copper coins a catty. If he had to pay six copper coins, it would cost more than five copper coins.

Luo Dazhuang was glad. “Fortunately, I chose to split the profits!”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Yes, you’re very smart.”

Actually, it wasn’t that Luo Dazhuang was smart. Su Xiaoxiao who had given him a white lie.

The real supply price was only half of the selling price. The reason why Su Xiaoxiao didn’t tell him this was that it wouldn’t help. It would only increase his regret.

After all, it was impossible for her to change the way she cooperated in the short term.

Regret was useless when it came to cooperation. If he carried emotions that he shouldn’t, disagreements and conflicts would be inevitable over time.

He saw that business was good now and wanted reassurance that he would not regret it, so she gave him this reassurance.

–

Su Xiaoxiao collected the bill and went to the academy last.

After interacting with him for a while, Su Xiaoxiao had already learned his surname from the man. She called him Young Master Xiang.

“The sound in your lungs is gone. You’re recovering well.” Su Xiaoxiao took the stethoscope off her ear. “You don’t have to take any more injections. You just have to take the medicine.”

She could not hide the infusion. After all, it was impossible for the patient to be unconscious every time.

He had asked Su Xiaoxiao about her medical skills. Su Xiaoxiao only said that it was passed down from her master, so it was not convenient for her to say anything.

The world was big, and there were always experts and hermits.

Regardless of whether he believed her or not, she would stick to her story.

Fortunately, he did not question her medical skills after that.

Young Master Xiang smiled warmly. “It’s all thanks to Miss Su this time. If not for Miss Su’s medical skills, I’m afraid I would have died.”

Su Xiaoxiao said politely, “No, God helps the good.”

Young Master Xiang said, “Is Miss Su still coming over tomorrow?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I won’t be coming tomorrow. I’ll give you a prescription. I’ll come back in three days to check on you.”

He did not need to take Western medicine anymore. Instead, Su Xiaoxiao used Chinese medicine to calm his breathing and cough, repair his blood essence, nourish his body, and stabilize his foundation. It was better this way.

“I see...” Young Master Xiang sighed regretfully.

“What’s wrong?”

“In three days... I don’t know if I’ll still be in Apricot Town.”

“Are you leaving?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Young Master Xiang was silent.

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and nodded. “That’s true. You don’t sound like a local.”

Young Master Xiang said, “To be honest, I’m from the capital.”

At the door, Jing Yi frowned and did not agree with his cousin revealing his background.

Su Xiaoxiao widened her almond-shaped eyes. “The capital. I’ve never been there in my life. What’s the capital like?”

Young Master Xiang smiled faintly. “It’s big and prosperous. There are many shops and the streets are very wide. There are fresh and interesting people and things, as well as dirty things.”

Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully, “It sounds like a complicated place.”

Young Master Xiang looked warmly at the little fat girl beside him. “Miss Su, are you interested in going to the capital?”

Jing Yi’s handsome brows furrowed even more. What did her cousin mean? Did he want to take her back to the capital?

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “Not for now.”

She was still in the stage of settling her needs. How could she have the money and capital to go to the Imperial City?

“The capital must be very far, right? With your current condition, it’s not suitable for you to travel. If possible, I hope you can completely recover before traveling.”

This was the truth. His foundation was weaker than ordinary people, not to mention that adult pneumonia was not a minor illness.

Young Master Xiang smiled. “Since Miss Su has said so, it’s fine if I stay for a few more days.”

Jing Yi’s expression was complicated.

“That’s for the best.” Su Xiaoxiao handed him a prescription. “You can go to Physician Fu’s house in Spring Willow Lane to get herbs according to this prescription. The quality of his herbs is good, and the price-quality ratio is high. He’s honest.”

“Okay.” Young Master Xiang unfolded the words on it and took a look. “Miss Su... did you write this prescription yourself?”

Su Xiaoxiao said sternly, “Of course, I wrote it! Why? Do you think I don’t know how to write?”

Young Master Xiang smiled. “No, it’s Miss Su’s handwriting. I was very surprised.”

Su Xiaoxiao curled her lips. That was all that guy could do.

Young Master Xiang said, “Changping, go get the consultation fee.”

“Yes,” Chang Ping agreed.

He didn’t like Su Xiaoxiao and glared at her as he walked.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t care about a little attendant at all.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Young Master Xiang and said, “You’re quite easy to talk to, unlike your ice-faced brother. He’s... the same as someone I know. He always has a cold face, as if someone owes him money.”

Jing Yi’s face was as black as charcoal.
