Chapter 653 The 80s (2)
"I think you just don't want to walk the mountain path anymore!" Liu Manni said with a smile, tapping Wangyou on the head.
"Mom, don't hit my head. If you hit me and make me stupid, you won't have such a smart daughter anymore."
"Hmph, I've knocked on you so many times and you haven't gotten any dumber. It's clear that the more I knock, the smarter you get." Liu Manni knocked on you again, sounding annoyed.
"Mom, am I still your little darling?"
"Yes, yes, but daughter, I support you in having ideas and I believe you can do it. You know, apart from our Huo Family Village, the neighboring villages can't find wives and have to abduct them from outside. If our village can become rich, at least the young men in the village will be able to find wives."
Wangyou knew that what her mother said was true. The saying "bad people come from poor and remote places" was never just an empty phrase. Because the Huo family was all from the same clan and had strict clan rules, they dared not do illegal things like human trafficking.
But other villages are different. The closest village to them is Daliu Village, which is ten kilometers away. A few years ago, there was a major human trafficking case. At that time, in order to prevent their wives from being taken away, the whole village mobilized and blocked the police at the village entrance.
Later, I heard that many people had died. From then on, the women of Huojia Village had to be accompanied when they went out, and the adults in their families would pick them up when they came home from school.
After wandering around the village and the nearby mountains, Wangyou decided to start a medicinal herb market, but instead of selling herbs, she would sell medicines.
The medicinal herbs in her hometown are very effective. In addition, since she started studying medicine, the villagers have gradually learned to grow some medicinal herbs. However, because the mountain roads are difficult to travel, it is hard to find people to buy medicinal herbs.
So, if you want to get rich, you have to build roads first!
After finishing the proposal, Wangyou went to see her sixth uncle and discussed it with the other clan elders. They all agreed that the proposal was feasible.
Moreover, the prescriptions are all unique formulas that Wangyou has researched and developed himself. These old men are the most qualified to speak about the efficacy of the medicines, especially for those with rheumatism, backache, and other ailments. The effects are immediate. These ailments are not only common among the elderly in the village, but also among the many in big cities.
The village had no shortage of able-bodied young men, so a group of people, regardless of whether they were of a higher or lower generation than Wangyou, or of the same generation, began to collect herbs at the call of the clan elders.
Because Wangyou Pharmaceutical prefers fresh medicinal herbs, they can be used directly after being washed and dug up from the mountains or fields.
A group of young boys and girls were busy pounding and brewing herbs in the courtyard, having a great time.
Wangyou carefully inspected each step of the process, after all, this was the key to whether their village could build a road.
In addition, the older women in the village embroidered some exquisite handkerchiefs according to Wangyou's request.
As the plasters were made, out of habit, Wangyou left her unique mark in an inconspicuous place.
"Forget-Me-Not, are we really not going to sell it at the hospital?"
“If we don’t go, how much can the hospital accept? Besides, they might not believe us. Moreover, the cost of obtaining all the necessary permits and making the ointment is not low. How can we sell it cheaply?”
"But didn't we collect all those herbs from the mountain?" Stone asked, puzzled. It clearly didn't cost much.
"Shut up, I'll explain later. Now come with me."
Wangyou led Shitou through a maze of turns to the entrance of a shopping mall. After observing the area for a while, Wangyou had a better understanding of what was going on.
“Stone, put the things down, we can set up a small stall now.”
"Oh." Shi Tou immediately took out a white cloth from her basket, on which was written "Miraculous Healing Hands". She decided to provide free medical services for three days.
At first, nobody came, because in the minds of Chinese people, the whiter the beard of a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, the higher their skill level.
Therefore, Wangyou didn't actually wait there, but instead searched for her target group among the crowd.
"Auntie, may I ask if you've been experiencing backaches and leg pains lately? You've gone to the hospital and gotten a lot of medicine, but it hasn't been very effective, especially at night when the pain keeps you up at night?"
"How did you figure that out? You're right. I just want to move my legs as much as I can while they're still able to move, because I'm afraid one day they'll suddenly become useless." The well-dressed old lady walked over slowly and said curiously.
"Would it be convenient for me to take your pulse?"
“Okay.” Grandma Qiu unconsciously reached out her hand.
“This is a ailment left over from your hard work when you were young, not to mention that you must have suffered a lot in the past few years. But it’s not a big problem. Auntie, if you trust me, you can take a month’s supply of the plaster I have here. It will be completely cured after a month. If you don’t believe me, you can try it here.”
"Young lady, are you kidding me? All the big hospitals say there's nothing they can do about my illness, and they just tell me to take good care of myself."
"What good would it do me to lie to you? You'll see once you try."
"Okay, give it a try. If it doesn't work, I won't pay."
"Whether it works or not, let the results speak for themselves." Wangyou smiled and took out a plaster from the medicine box, then applied it to Old Mrs. Qiu's leg.
"Three, two, one!" Wangyou counted to three after applying the plaster. "Auntie, now try it and see if this leg still hurts."
"Oh, this, this doesn't seem to hurt anymore." The old lady suddenly shook her right leg. "It doesn't hurt anymore, it really doesn't hurt anymore, and it's even warm. I've never felt so comfortable before. Young lady, let me have this leg covered too. Don't worry, I'll pay for it!"
"Okay, no problem!" Wangyou applied another patch to her left leg, and with the same effect, the old lady who had been limping just moments before was now walking briskly. Of course, apart from her back still feeling uncomfortable, her leg felt incredibly comfortable.
"Young lady, how much is this? I'll take it all."
"You don't need to take them all. Just take a month's supply for the leg patches and half a month's supply for the medicine patches. Each patch costs five yuan, and you should take one patch a day."
Upon hearing that it cost five yuan, the people around immediately erupted in disbelief. Five yuan? That's far too expensive!
"Young lady, wait a moment, I'll go home and get the money right away." After saying that, the old lady ran off as fast as she could.
"Wangyou, what if this old lady isn't coming back?"
“No, her legs are already very badly damaged, they’re starting to deform. Our plaster is her only hope. Besides, judging from her clothes, she’s not short of money. Brother Stone, take out everything she needs and wrap it up.” Wangyou said calmly.
“That’s the old lady from the Qiu family who was exonerated after being sent down to the countryside. Her whole family went through a lot of trouble to help her with her legs. I’ve never seen her so agile. I have to see her too.” A silver-haired old lady said as she walked over.
"Little girl, let me see too!"
"Auntie, you're still going strong! You must have taken good care of yourself all these years. Apart from your age and the fact that your legs aren't as nimble as they used to be, you don't have any major health problems. Go back and exercise more to prevent high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar," Wangyou said with a smile after taking her pulse.
