Chapter 173 Exchanged for 1 Bear Paw
Dean Kong also informed Chen Qingwen about some of the academy's rules and regulations and teaching conditions.
The brother and sister left the ward where Kong Changqing was.
The shopkeeper Bao chased after him and said, "Miss Chen, aren't you here to buy prey? Isn't it a tiger again this time?"
Chen Qingxin raised the corner of his mouth and said teasingly: "Does Bao think that tigers are vegetarians?"
"That's true." Shopkeeper Bao was a little confused, but he quickly realized that what Miss Chen said must be right. Tigers really can't be vegetarians.
Chen Qingxin continued, "Let's find a quiet place. Although there are no tigers, there are two blind bears."
After he finished speaking, Chen Qingxin brought Manager Bao to the back door of Baoshun Hall.
Lift the tarpaulin to reveal two brown bears!
"So big?" The only things in Bao's mind at this moment were bear gallbladder, bear paws, bear bones, etc. He raised the corner of his lips slightly:
"Miss Chen, same as last time, 1200 taels, what do you think?"
Chen Qingxin nodded: "Okay."
Shopkeeper Bao paid the banknote readily and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Chen Qingxin just shook his head and smiled when he saw it: "Boss Bao, why don't you go ahead and do your work? My brother and I will go back."
The shopkeeper Bao said politely, "It's getting late, how about we have dinner here today?"
Chen Qingxin waved his hand and said, "No need, I have to take my second brother out to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
If you receive a patient who cannot be cured in Baoshun Hall in the future, please have someone notify me."
Shopkeeper Bao's eyes lit up: "Really? Miss Chen, you are so loyal!
If you need my help in the future, please feel free to ask."
Chen Qingxin smiled and said, "Okay! Qingxin will remember what the shopkeeper said!"
In the future, I may be able to make some good pills and medicines to inject into your Baoshun Hall."
After saying this, he left the clinic with his second brother, ignoring the excited manager Bao.
After leaving the clinic, Chen Qingwen jumped for joy like a bird released from a cage:
"Sister, Qingwen really admires you. You are really good at making money!
When we go home on weekends next time, can you take Wen'er to the mountains to hunt?
Qingwen also wants to share some of the burden at home."
Chen Qingxin reached out and tapped Chen Qingwen on the head:
"Thinking of what?
You hunted so many wild boars, rabbits, pheasants, wild goats, wild deer, etc. before. Weren't you making a contribution to your family?
It’s just that the prey was kept in the warehouse and not sold.
Since our family is not short of money now, we should stock up more useful things.
What if there is a snowstorm or a major natural disaster and there is no food?
right?
The thing our family has the most right now is money, you know?
If you want to go hunting, Xiu Mu can take you there when he has time.
Next week during the break, we will be putting up the beams at home, so we may not have time to go to the mountain.
Now the eldest sister will exchange part of the prey you hunted before for a bear paw.
Then you can get at least 100 taels."
Chen Qingwen's mouth twitched: "Sister, why does Qingwen feel that you are fooling the child?
How can you calculate it this way?
Can the prey still be exchanged?
Are you trying to find ways to give Qingwen money?"
Chen Qingxin touched his nose calmly:
"Eh? If my eldest sister says it can be done, then it can be done. In this regard, my eldest sister has the absolute right to speak.
Because the financial power of our family is in the hands of the eldest sister, right? What do you think? "
After hearing this, Chen Qingwen immediately raised his hands in surrender:
"Okay, Qingwen admits defeat. I'll do whatever the eldest sister says. You are the eldest sister, you are awesome."
Chen Qingwen said this while secretly looking at Chen Qingxin.
Chen Qingxin's cheeks were rosy and his eyes were shining with shrewdness:
"Qingwen, you and I just have different divisions of labor.
The eldest sister’s goal is to make a lot of money, become the richest person in Dashun, and provide financial support for the family’s development.
Your goal is to study hard and take the imperial examination, earn a position, and use this to protect the family property earned by your elder sister, do you understand?"
Chen Qingwen told the truth: "I don't quite understand.
The eldest sister’s martial arts skills are already very powerful, so it should not be difficult for her to protect the family property.
Besides, Wen'er's martial arts skills are also strong, and he will definitely protect together with his elder sister.
Look at County Magistrate Wu, a top scholar, but now he is just a small county magistrate. Even Mr. Zhang has to suppress him. He is so frustrated. "
Chen Qingxin reached out and knocked on his head again:
"What happened to the county magistrate?
It’s better than ordinary people, right?
Besides, do you think our father will not come back in the future?
As his son, if he only knew martial arts, he would be considered a family of warriors and not a single scholar would be born.
Then, let's produce a man who is both talented in literature and martial arts to blind their eyes!
I, the eldest sister, can guarantee that as long as you can win two top prizes, I can help you get promoted to the highest official rank.
Do you believe it? "
Chen Qingwen just thought it was to make his elder sister happy, and answered along with her words:
“Xin, Wen’er is naturally Xinchang’s.
However, Qingwen cannot think too far ahead now. He only hopes that in the future, as his elder sister wishes, he can pass the imperial examination and gain a high position, so that his elder sister and his parents can have something to show off! "
"Hahaha... Great! You little brat! You have ambition!"
Chen Qingxin pulled Chen Qingwen and said, "Let's go to the wonton shop over there and have a bowl of wontons."
Chen Qingwen followed Chen Qingxin.
Chen Qingxin walked forward, and Chen Qingwen followed closely behind him.
There was a wonton stall not far away, and the two of them went to the stall and sat down.
The stall owner greeted them warmly: "How many wontons would you like, my dear guests?"
"Two servings."
As soon as the wontons were served, Chen Qingwen couldn't wait to eat them. While eating, he praised: "It tastes really good!"
Seeing this, Chen Qingxin cursed in his heart: "What a greedy little cat!"
But he said, "It's really good! If you like it, you can ask the servant to come over occasionally and take some food home for your snack."
Chen Qingwen gave Chen Qingxin a thumbs up: "This is a good idea, elder sister!"
Chen Qingxin picked up the bowl, ate it all in one swift motion, threw down the copper coins, thanked the stall owner and left.
"Sister, where is our next destination?" Chen Qingwen asked.
"Dental business."
Today she did not bother Manager Huang again, but went directly to find Manager Qian of the dental clinic.
When Shopkeeper Qian saw his old acquaintance, he immediately stepped forward to greet him enthusiastically:
"Miss Chen, are you here to buy another slave today? Come on, please sit down, please sit down! Someone, bring tea!"
The tea came up quickly. Chen Qingxin took a sip and said what he wanted:
"Manager Qian, I need a book boy, preferably between 12 and 16 years old.
If the child is too young, he will not be able to serve others; if the child is too old, there will be a generation gap between him and his younger brother.
It only requires people to be smart and have regular facial features. "
Manager Qian thought for a moment and then instructed his men:
"Bring up everyone from Courtyard No. 3 and let Miss Chen choose for herself."
After a while, several teenagers in their teens were brought up.
They stood in a row, looking at Chen Qingxin and others nervously.
Chen Qingxin looked at them carefully and occasionally asked some questions.
