n“25 copper coins is acceptable, acceptable.” Shopkeeper Qian paused and said with some anticipation, “Miss Chu, I want to be your regular client. What do you think?”

nChu Xuhua and Shen Ruyue perked up when they heard that. Why would they refuse to earn money?

nChu Qingzhi had never thought of doing the rice dumpling business for a long time, but it was not bad to have a regular client for the rice dumplings… Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, “Shopkeeper Qian, how many do you want?” Shopkeeper Qian said confidently, “Five thousand a day is not a problem.”

nChu Qingzhi did not decide immediately. Instead, she turned around and asked Chu Xuhua and Shen Ruyue, “What do you think?”

nChu Xuhua and Shen Ruyue’s eyes were spariding. It was obvious that they agreed. However, on second thought, they realized that Qingzhi definitely did not ask them if they agreed. She must be hinting at something.

nAt this thought, the excitement on their faces slowly disappeared, replaced by calmness.

nChu Qingzhi saw the change of expression on their faces and secretly praised them. She wanted to tell the two of them not to show their emotions when discussing business. They had to make themselves look unfathomable. Only then would they be able to lead the other party by the nose.

nChu Xuhua pondered for a moment and said, “Fifth Sister, Shopkeeper Qian is very sincere. I think we can agree.”

nChu Qingzhi nodded. “If Shopkeeper Qian has really thought it through, we can discuss the details of the cooperation next.”

nShen Ruyue took out a pen and paper and drafted the contract one by one.

nAfter discussing it for an hour, the contract was drawn up. The supply of 5,000 rice dumplings would start three days after the Dragon Boat Festival. It would last for a year.

nShopkeeper Qian tried the rice dumpling. The good taste made him completely relieved and he signed the contract readily.

nChu Xuhua politely sent him out.

nAt the county office.

nRecently, the county magistrate had been very worried. He was so worried that he could not sleep.

nIt had not rained for almost two months. Some parts of the field had already begun to crack. Some crops that could not withstand the drought were about to wither.

nThese crops were the lifeblood of the villagers.

nIt was said that in places further away, the villagers went to the county office every day to protest. They asked the county office to think of a way to find water.

nThe county magistrate was so worried that he was losing hair.

nAt this moment, the secretary walked in briskly.

nThe secretary was in high spirits, as if he had a joyous occasion. “Your Lordship.”

nThe county magistrate frowned and hurriedly asked, “How is it?”

nThe secretary said, “Those villages that lack water have already found a water source by themselves.”

nThe county magistrate was surprised. “How did they find a water source?”

nThe secretary said mysteriously, “It was a person who helped.”

nThe county magistrate glanced at the secretary. “Who is it? Don’t keep me in suspense.”

nThe secretary smiled and said, “It’s that little farm girl you think highly of.”

nThe county magistrate had a deep impression of the person the secretary mentioned. He immediately reacted. “Chu Qingzhi?”

nThe secretary nodded. “Yes, it’s her.”

nThe county magistrate’s brows relaxed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. “That young lady has such ability?”

nThe secretary was also full of admiration. “That’s right. I heard that the young lady studied feng shui before. I wonder who is her master. She’s so impressive!” The county magistrate pondered for a moment and asked, “What is Chu Qingzhi doing now?”

nThe secretary had already asked around. “She’s helping the villagers find water.”

nThe county magistrate nodded slowly and revealed a thoughtful expression. After a while, he said, “Let’s not do anything for the time being. When Chu Qingzhi solves the water problem, I will report her achievements to the Imperial Court.”

nThe secretary cupped his hands respectfully. “Yes.”

nThe news that Chu Qingzhi could find a water source had long spread among the villages. Many village chiefs came to ask her to find a water source. She had already become a famous person.

nAt the southern border.

nThe sun was scorching hot, and there was a fireball-like sun hanging in the blue sky. The clouds seemed to have been evaporated by the sun and disappeared without a trace.

nThe tree hung its head dejectedly. The birds were too tired to migrate. Even the dogs couldn’t be bothered to find food…

nThe hot wind made people feel like they were being roasted over a fire.

nAt the edge of a forest at the border, there were endless white tents that stretched into the distance. From afar, it looked like a cluster of mushrooms.

nIn the military camp, an excited voice came from afar. “Little Divine Doctor, Little Divine Doctor, everyone is recovering…”

nIn a tent that was filled with the strong smell of medicine, at the table, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth was crushing the herbs with his head lowered.

nThe young man’s skin was very delicate. His eyes were bright and pure and his facial expression was serious. He was wearing a beige robe. He was thin and tall.

nHe was stunned when he heard that. Then, he put down the tools and walked out.

nThe soldier who shouted just now happened to arrive in front of the tent. He was clearly very excited, but when he saw the youth, he immediately became respectful.

nThe young man ignored the soldier and walked straight to the patients with a frown.

nEver since one person after another fell ill in the military camp, the general immediately got people to set up a quarantine area for the sick at the edge of the military camp.

nThe originally lifeless quarantine area became especially lively at this moment. Everyone chatted and laughed, feeling relieved that they had survived.

nWhen the young man saw this scene, he did not need to take everyone’s pulse to know that they were recovering. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

nSomeone saw him and hurriedly bowed. “Greetings, Little Divine Doctor.”

n“Greetings, Little Divine Doctor.”

nThe chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, Yuan Zheng, had a grandson who had displayed his medical talent since he was young.

nAt the age of seven, he memorized a palm-thick “Herb Compendium”. At the age of 11, he finished reading the medical books that his grandfather, Yuan Zheng, had collected for many years. After that, he went to various places in the Dating Dynasty. When he returned at the age of 15, he became a Divine Doctor who had been curing illnesses. He was famous throughout the Daling Dynasty.

nWhen he heard that there were soldiers in the military camp who had fevers, vomiting, and diarrhea for unknown reasons, he took the initiative to come to the military camp to treat the soldiers.

nYuan Hongjun placed one hand behind his back and looked at everyone. He was young but calm. “Now that you are out of danger, it’s about time for me to go back to the capital.”

nThe soldiers cupped their hands. “Thank you, Little Divine Doctor.”

nYuan Hongjun turned around and walked back towards his tent. He thought to himself, I didn’t expect that there would be someone better than me in medicine. What a surprise.

nHe had to see what this person looked like.

nAfter packing up, Yuan Hongjun bade farewell to the general and returned to the capital..
