Chapter 292 Kidney Nourishing Pills
Chapter 292 Kidney Nourishing Pills
When the servant driving the carriage heard the brother-in-law's words and the young lady did not stop him, he turned the carriage around and stuck it in front of the ox cart.
Fang Tong knew that this was the carriage that Miss Wang was riding in, and he was too lazy to argue with them. It would be fine at other times, but he had to send his child to school early in the morning, so how could he delay his studies? This was a critical time for his son.
He immediately wanted to go around, but the servants of the Wang family listened to Fang Jin's words and refused to give in.
When he went around to that side, the carriages were blocked there, making it impossible for him to leave.
Fang Tong calculated the date and knew that this should be the carriage for the Wang family's return visit. He didn't know what was wrong with him and wanted to compete with him. He also knew that Fang Jin's brain was in trouble again.
He was furious and turned to his son and daughter, saying, "Hold on tight, both of you!"
Then he whipped the bull hard, and the bull, in pain, rushed directly towards the carriage in front.
Although this horse runs faster than a cow, when it comes to strength, the cow still has more horsepower.
After Fang Tong's ox cart crashed into the Wang family's carriage, it was almost knocked over and fell heavily to the side!
The horse pulling the cart was startled and jumped restlessly on the spot. The servants held it tightly, but it still threw the people in the cart all over the place!
Fang Jin and Miss Wang were completely unprepared, and the two of them were almost like eggs with the yolk missing in the carriage, with each of them hitting their heads several times!
After the carriage finally stabilized a bit, the couple had no choice but to look out from the carriage. Fang Jin shouted, "Fang Tong! What are you doing? Do you know whose carriage this is? If it breaks down, can you afford to pay for it?!"
Fang Tong didn't take it seriously and even smiled playfully: "What can I do? Your servant's driving skills are not good and he blocked the road. My driving skills are not good either. I scared you. Let's call it a draw!"
As he spoke, he looked him up and down: "But cousin, what's wrong with you? It was your big wedding day a few days ago, and today should be your visit to your parents-in-law, right? Why do you look pale and weak? Are you sick? You must take care of yourself!"
What Fang Tong said was true. Fang Jin's expression did look ugly to outsiders, as if all his energy was being sucked dry.
Fang Tong was not a child, so of course he knew what had happened. He couldn't help but feel sympathy for her and thought that Miss Wang was really scary.
Fang Tong was about to ignore them and leave when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Cousin, do you need some nourishment? I have some excellent kidney-tonifying pills here!"
Fang Jin's face flushed red when he heard this, and he took a deep breath. "How vulgar! What nonsense are you talking about? This is really not presentable. Keep it for yourself!"
Fang Tong was speechless, thinking that he was really suffering for his reputation. His face was so pale, but he was still stubborn. If his body was really sucked dry, how much damage would it do to his body!
He rolled his eyes and was about to leave when Miss Wang asked curiously, "Do you really have some excellent kidney-tonifying pills? How much are they?"
Fang Tong was a little surprised when he saw Miss Wang speak, but he had known her a lot because of his second brother's affairs before, so he knew what she was thinking at a glance, so he just talked nonsense and opened his mouth like an exorbitant number!
"Twenty taels per piece!"
It’s not that he really wants to make so much money, but his kidney-tonifying pills are produced by the system, and he didn’t intend to give them to outsiders. He mentioned it just now purely to mock his elder brother.
Sure enough, as soon as the price was spoken, Fang Jin almost jumped up in the carriage!
"Fang Tong! What nonsense are you talking about? Are you crazy? You've really fallen into the money trap in business and are blinded by greed! What kind of kidney-tonifying pills are you talking about? What good stuff can you get from them? I think it's just a quack doctor using it to cheat people, and you're using it to cheat me now, so get out of here!"
He looked disgusted, but Miss Wang beside him was lost in thought. She reached out and pulled him, whispering, "Hey, my husband, twenty taels of silver isn't that much. What if it's true? We know who he is, so he wouldn't dare to lie to me. Otherwise, I'll definitely find someone to deal with him!"
When Fang Jin heard that she actually wanted to buy it, her face became uglier than ever, but Miss Wang didn't notice it, or even if she could see it, she wouldn't care. Instead, she happily said to the servant, "Hurry up and give him the silver."
Seeing such straightforwardness, Fang Tong was stunned. He wanted to sell one for twenty taels, which he himself thought was a sky-high price. How could there be a sucker who wanted to buy it?
The problem is that this is something produced by the system. Even if she pays twenty taels, she won't be fooled. She might even make a profit.
He really couldn't bear to give away such good medicine and really wanted to give it to Fang Jin.
He hesitated for a moment, thought about it again, and decided to sell it!
Anyway, my daughter has quite a few. She said before that she had been following the teacher to the mountains to collect herbs these days, and the system gave her a lot of rewards. She was very happy. She didn't know what to do with those herbs, so it would be nice to be able to exchange them for some silver.
Fang Nanzhi in the carriage had been listening to the conversation outside. When she saw her father leaning into the carriage and winking at her, she understood. She took out a kidney-tonifying pill from the system and put it in her father's hand.
Fang Tongxin thought that his daughter and he had a tacit understanding, so he reached out and pinched her little face, then went out again with a smile and handed it to Miss Wang in the carriage.
"Here, this is the kidney-tonifying pill!"
When Fang Jin saw the pills in his hand, he immediately became anxious: "What are you talking about? These are the best pills. How can you just leave the best pills out there like this? There's not even a box, and you still dare to say you're not a liar!"
Fang Tong glanced at him and said, "What's the point of being fooled? I'm selling it to your wife, not to you. I said I wasn't lying, and I'm not lying. Giving you the pills is good enough, but you still want my box. Do you want it or not? If not, forget it."
Miss Wang looked at the round and smooth pill, which didn't look like something she had just picked up from somewhere, so she reached out and took it. The servant also handed twenty taels of silver to Fang Tong.
Fang Tong checked the silver and felt a little bit unbelievable. Just at the village gate, someone actually bought the pills from him for twenty taels. There are still many opportunities to make money in this world!
He got on the ox cart with a calm face and glanced at the Fang family's carriage beside him. It was not in the right place for the servants to stop him at this moment.
Miss Wang bought some pills and asked the coachman to hurry up and not let her father wait at home for too long. The carriage set off immediately, and the speed was naturally much faster. After a while, it left Fang Tong's ox cart behind.
Fang Tong was driving the ox cart and touching the twenty taels of silver, laughing happily. In his opinion, considering how vigorous Miss Wang was, this one kidney-tonifying pill would definitely not be enough. She might come to him again in the future.
The things produced by the system must be good things. If Miss Wang really finds them useful, she will definitely have a lot of money in the future.
Fang Nanzhi poked her head out and saw her father was so happy. She was a little curious: "Dad, what are you doing here?"
She understood when she saw her father touching his purse.
"Dad, those kidney-tonifying pills are so effective, how could they be so expensive? Twenty taels is enough for a farmer to save for a lifetime!"
Fang Tong touched his nose, spoke vaguely, and cleared his throat: "It's useful for older men."
He stopped talking after saying that. Fang Nanzhi seemed to understand and scratched his head. "That's great. Do you want to give some to the two teachers?"
Her husband, Mr. Zhou, and Dean Zheng are both elderly men, and they are not young anymore.
Fang Tong was choked and didn't know how to answer.
At this time, Qin Yan said, "Zhizhi, you are still young. This medicine should not be touched by a little girl. Just leave it to Dad. Dad knows what to do."
Fang Tong nodded repeatedly. Fortunately, his son came to his rescue. "Yes, yes, your brother is right. Leave it to Dad. You don't have to worry about these things. Just study hard."
Fang Nanzhi appeared to be well-behaved, but in her heart she decided to ask the system what was going on with this pill.
After arriving at the academy and waiting for the two siblings to go in, Fang Tong turned around and went to the pawnshop. He wanted to rent a house in the county town.
He had discussed this with Qian Fengping before. The county examination consists of five sessions and will last for five days. It would be best to have a place to stay here in advance, or find an inn and book a room. It would be fine for adults like them, but it would not be good to let Yan Ge'er, who is supposed to take the exam, run back and forth and waste his energy.
But it only takes five days and doesn't cost much money, so just think of it as spending money to buy comfort.
He planned to try renting a house first. After all, restaurants and inns were always crowded with people, and it was too noisy, which was not conducive to the children's quiet concentration.
If you can't get a good rest, then you lose the purpose of spending money and it won't be worth it.
He drove the ox cart to the pawnshop and called Sun Dacheng as soon as he entered the door. Sun Dacheng smiled as soon as he saw him and quickly helped him tie the ox cart.
"What's wrong, brother? What do you need today? Are you here to buy a cow again?"
Fang Tong patted him, and the two of them joked, "You're still raising cattle? How much land do you have to plow at home? If you have two, tell me. I want to stay in the county town for a few days, not long, just five days. Help me find someone to ask."
Upon hearing this, Sun Dacheng immediately said, "Okay, brother. I'll find someone for you right away who's specifically in charge of this. He and I have a very good relationship. His name is Feng A Liu, so you can just call him A Liu."
When Ah Liu saw Sun Dacheng coming to him and asked what was going on, he patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, brother. I have a good relationship with Dacheng. I'll take you to see it. Just tell me what it's for."
Ah Liu was very enthusiastic about Fang Tong. He had heard from Dacheng before that this big brother surnamed Fang was very wealthy. He had bought several cows from them and was now doing business. What a great business!
The houses he took Fang Tong to were all nice, but Fang Tong was not very satisfied with any of them.
"A-Liu, do you have any place closer to the county exam venue?"
The two of them stood at the street corner. Ah Liu rubbed his hands together and said, "Yes, there are some, but the prices of houses in my area have skyrocketed recently. They're not that cheap anymore. They're definitely not as cost-effective as ordinary houses. If you really want one, be prepared. I'm not trying to trick you!"
Fang Tong patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, I know. Just take me to see it, don't let your imagination run wild."
Ah Liu felt that Brother Fang's house was indeed spacious, so he took him to see a small courtyard with three rooms. Although the area was not large, it was enough.
Fang Tong was quite satisfied with the interior and exterior of the house, and the stove was ready-made, so if his family stayed here, they wouldn't have to buy anything else.
Seeing that he was satisfied, Liu went to find the owner of the house.
"You can rent the house, but five days is too short. You have to rent it for at least half a month. If you're serious about renting it, I'll give you five hundred coins, no bargaining! Absolutely no lower!"
Fang Tong felt that it was a bit expensive, but he could understand. How could it not be expensive at this critical moment? By the time of the county exam, even the inns around here would be hard to find a room, not to mention expensive!
He didn't haggle much with the landlord and signed the documents readily to rent the house. He also thanked him for being willing to rent it for half a month.
The homeowner was also very happy, thinking that he was happy, and both of them were very happy.
That day, he cleaned the yard briefly before hurried back to the village.
Not long after returning to the village, he went into the city again to pick up his son and daughter.
The car also brought bedding and other items from home, as well as a few simple clothes.
When they discussed it yesterday, Qian Fengping had originally planned to come with him to clean, but he knew that Juxianglou was busy with the cake business, so he finished the work alone, and then drove the ox cart to the academy to pick up the children.
This day was quite tiring for him, but he was very happy in his heart. The closer the imperial examination got, the more nervous and excited he became. He just didn't dare show it for fear of putting pressure on his son.
"Come on, get in the car. We're not going back to the village today. Dad has already rented a small courtyard in the county town!"
Fang Nanzhi sat in the car and suddenly became excited: "What? Dad, didn't you say to wait until my brother took the imperial examination before renting it? You've already rented it so early?"
Fang Tong raised his chin. "That's what I said, but when I went to take a look today, I found a suitable house. The owner said it has to be rented for at least fifteen days. I calculated the days and it's fine to move in now. We can get used to it here early. If there are any problems, there will be time to fix them, right?"
"So we're going to live in the county town from today?"
"yes."
After hearing her father's answer, Fang Nanzhi became even more excited and wanted to see what the house they would live in for the next half month looked like.
Fang Tong was still talking as he drove the cart: "Your brother has to read books every day while riding the ox cart back and forth, which is not good for his eyes. Now that you are going there from the county town, you will have more time to read every day..."
Qin Yan felt a little warm in his heart when he heard his parents worrying about him these days.
The two children were brought to the small courtyard. Although it only had three rooms and was smaller than the house they lived in in the village, they were used to living there. This place was quite novel, and they each went into the room they had chosen.
After settling the two children, Fang Tong went to Juxianglou to pick up Qian Fengping. The couple chatted on the way and talked about his second brother. Their family lived in the county town, and Fang Yin did not come with them.
Qian Fengping asked him how he arranged it.
"I've made an agreement with my second brother to look after the family these days. You can go to Erwa's house for meals. I've already provided the food there. Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of it."
Qian Fengping nodded, feeling a little relieved.
