Chapter 916 Little Full Moon Wine
However, this shows that A-Ling is a very decisive person and will be the second Aunt A-Lan, which is why Qin Xiaomi is willing to invest in her.
"Okay, next time I develop a new drug, I'll bring you a share and give you 10% of the profits from the new drug," Qin Xiaomi promised.
"It's a deal, no backing out!" Ah Ling was overjoyed and immediately took out paper, pen and ink from the leather pouch at her waist: "Here, let's draw up a contract."
Qin Xiaomi: "..."
There was a day when she was asked to sign a written agreement.
Soon, A-Ling wrote a written agreement, just a few simple sentences, in which Qin Xiaomi promised to help her develop a new drug and share the profits from it.
There is no penalty for failing to keep a promise.
Qin Xiaomi was very satisfied with this and readily signed and pressed her fingerprint.
Ah Ling laughed out loud: "Thank you, little sister. I won't bother you anymore. I'm leaving now. I'll come and support you tomorrow."
"Yes," Qin Xiaomi nodded, then added, "You should act as quickly as possible regarding the matter of Azu's old village, but be careful not to be betrayed by Azu and his people, especially beware of poisons... that old Zhuyou is a poison expert."
"Don't worry, sister, we know what we're doing." A-Ling felt a warmth in her heart. Qin Meizi might seem cold, but she actually cared about her quite a bit, so she pressed her advantage: "Sister, the medicine you and Master Xun make is so effective. Antidotes and poisons, can you take them back to the mountains as souvenirs for me?"
"Specialty products? You really dare to ask for that." Qin Xiaomi thought for a moment and said, "A disclaimer. If you give me a disclaimer, Old Man Xun and I will give you the antidote and the poison."
With the letter of waiver and Old Man Xun by my side, I won't have to worry about being held accountable by the government or the military.
"I'll write it for you!" Ah Ling quickly wrote down another disclaimer, signed it, pressed her fingerprint on it, and handed it to Qin Xiaomi for safekeeping.
Qin Xiaomi accepted the disclaimer and made it clear to A Ling, "Go back."
Ah Ling pretended to be sad, but walked away happily... She made a huge profit from this entanglement today.
After A-Ling left, Qin Xiaomi returned to the Qin family residence.
When Grandma Qin saw her, she smiled and said, "You're back. Get ready, let's go see Xiao Yunping and give him a full moon gift."
"Yes," Qin Xiaomi replied, and the family took the small gifts and went to Qin Eryong's house with Madam Guan.
The house of Qin Eryong was already filled with constant laughter and noise.
"Oh my, Xiao Yunping smiled! Xiao Yunping likes my gift. He must know that I made it by hand, so he really likes it." Xiao Fubao was overjoyed and felt extremely proud.
Granny Qin: "Heh, what do you mean you made it yourself? You've just borrowed Songguo's mother's skills. If it weren't for the gold ingots in your lucky purse, I would have thought you were just pretending to like Xiao Yunping."
"Grandma Liu is talking nonsense! I didn't pretend to like Xiao Yunping. I genuinely like Xiao Yunping." Xiao Fubao was furious, and her eyes were red.
Aunt Qiao quickly hugged him and coaxed, "Sixth Aunt is just joking with you. Everyone knows that our little Fu Bao really loves little Yun Ping the most."
Uh, no, that's not it.
Little Fu Bao whispered, "My favorite baby is Little Lu Bao."
As if witnessing a confession, Granny Qin exclaimed, "Did you hear that? I guessed right, didn't I? He was just pretending to like Xiao Yunping!"
"Sixth sister-in-law, that's enough! That's not how you tease a child!" Grandma Qin was angry; she was truly exasperated with Qin Liupo.
"Sixth Granny wants to deduct her share of the profits again? Fine, I'll grant your wish. I'll deduct twenty taels. Ten taels will be given to Xiao Yunping as a gift, and ten taels will be given to Xiao Fubao as an apology." Qin Xiaomi interrupted when she saw that the Xu and Qiao families were about to speak, saying, "I don't have the principle of elders not apologizing to juniors when they do something wrong."
Children should apologize when they make mistakes, but adults should apologize even more when they are wrong.
Qin Liupo was inwardly roaring with resentment, but she covered her mouth tightly, not daring to utter a single word of dissent. If she dared to say a word of dissent, Xiao Mi'er would punish her even more severely!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fubao's eyes lit up as she looked at Qin Xiaomi... Wow, Sister Xiaomi is so great! I want to admire Sister Xiaomi for the rest of my life, just like Sister Xiaozhu!
Seeing this, Qin Xiaomi smiled, pinched his chubby cheeks, and praised, "Little Fu Bao is very capable. He can already do needlework and is generous. He gave gold to Xiao Yunping as a full moon gift. All the children in the surrounding villages are more generous than Little Fu Bao."
Little Fu Bao stood tall and proud after being praised. Qin Er Yong's wife also praised, "That's right, Little Fu Bao's full moon gift is both thoughtful and valuable."
They made it by hand and even gave it a gold ingot.
Jinzi, this child is really generous.
Eryong's wife then handed Xiaoyunping to Grandma Qin, saying, "Please hold him, Grandma."
"Oh!" Grandma Qin exclaimed happily, taking Xiao Yunping in her arms. After a short while, she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, oh, oh, Xiao Yunping is smiling! What a lucky baby who loves to smile!"
Qin Xiaomi peeked at the baby in the swaddling clothes and nodded: "Yes, he's growing well, and his eyes are clear and there's no jaundice."
Hearing this, Qin Eryong's wife was even happier and felt much more relieved.
"Xiaomi, sit here with your aunt." Aunt Qin pulled Qin Xiaomi to sit down next to her and asked, "Is everything ready for the opening of the herbal medicine shop?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room looked at Qin Xiaomi, and they were all somewhat worried about the herbal medicine shop.
After all, medicinal herbs involve human lives, and everyone felt, "Isn't it a bit too rushed to open for business?"
The herbal medicine shop wasn't even fully built, and the recruitment process was still under review, yet it was already opening. They were really worried.
"Yes, everything is ready. We'll open tomorrow without any problem." Qin Xiaomi knew their concerns and smiled. "It's already September. Soon, people from all the towns in the county and other counties will be sending medicinal herbs to sell in town. The herbal medicine shop has to take them in."
"Just catch it. As for processing medicinal materials and making medicine, we can proceed slowly."
That's the truth.
But the women in the room were still worried... This business was not going to be easy, and they should have stopped them in the first place.
Granny Qin snorted and rolled her eyes at everyone... Give it a rest. Even if you kneel down and try to persuade her, this girl won't listen.
Sitting next to Grandma Qin, Madam Guan, who was teasing little Yunping, said, "We don't need to worry. His Majesty has bestowed a group of female doctors upon Xiao Mi. With them, with Wuze Pharmacy, with Master Xun and his disciples and grand-disciples, this herbal medicine shop will be able to open smoothly."
"That's right, Sister Xiaomi is the best. The herbal medicine shop will definitely open smoothly, making a fortune, and branches will be opened all over the Great Wei!" Jiang Xiaozhu trusts Qin Xiaomi the most.
Qin Xiaomi smiled, her gaze steady and firm, and looked at the women in the room, saying, "Xiao Zhu is right. Aunts and sisters-in-law, there's no need to worry. I can manage this herbal medicine shop."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt reassured.
In the late afternoon, around 3:30 PM, Qin Eryong came to invite them to Qin's grandfather's house, saying, "The food has already been sent to Uncle Wu's house, so let's eat at Uncle Wu's house instead."
This was agreed upon by Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin, firstly because it wouldn't disturb or startle Xiao Yunping, and secondly because everyone was used to having meals together at Grandpa Qin's house.
"Hey, come on, everyone, let's go to my house." Grandma Qin called out to everyone, then helped Old Madam Guan and led the women and children of several families to her own home.
A small full moon celebration for family and friends ended abruptly after 5 PM.
Xiao Yunping received many gifts. According to Granny Qin, "If those full moon gifts were sold, it would be enough for three generations of Xiao Yunping's children and grandchildren to get married!"
She didn't get scolded for saying such sarcastic things, simply because it was considered a blessing.
After the guests left, Jiang Dalang took the opportunity to spend time with Qin Xiaomi while tidying up the front shop.
He was worried about saying the wrong thing and making Qin Xiaomi even more unhappy, so he just followed Qin Xiaomi and tidied up without saying a word.
Qin Xiaomi was the first to break the silence: "Thanks for today."
The fact that she took the initiative to speak to him and thank him made Jiang Dalang's heart skip a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
