Chapter 919 New Medicine [2]
Grandpa and Grandma Qin listened with a serious expression, looked at the bag, and asked, "Is this the new medicine you've been working on for months? Does it work? Can it be guaranteed to work?"
If a new drug is very good, it will definitely attract others to compete for it.
The two elders added, "Medicinal herbs involve human lives. New medicines must be extremely safe and acceptable to everyone. Otherwise, if problems arise from taking them, not only will we go bankrupt overnight, but our whole family may also go to jail."
On such a joyous occasion as the opening day, Grandpa and Grandma Qin didn't want to say anything unlucky, but the issue was too important to avoid.
Qin Xiaomi smiled and said, "I have already used it on Ye Xifen, Shen Luniang, and our servants. The effect is amazing. They have been using the medicine for more than a month and no one has had any adverse effects."
"This new medicine uses common medicinal materials, and all doctors can certify that these medicinal materials are harmless to the human body, so Grandpa and Grandma can rest assured."
He added, "Why don't Grandpa and Grandma have some too? Once you've used the new medicine yourselves, you'll know how good it is."
Qin Xiaomi thought for a moment, then shook her head: "Let's skip it today. We can take the new medicine together after we've finished with the opening period."
Grandpa and Grandma Qin knew that their granddaughter had given the servants new medicine, which caused a commotion over the latrine.
They also asked Master Xun to take a look at the medicinal materials for the new drug, and Master Xun said that they were indeed common medicinal materials that were harmless to humans.
Seeing his granddaughter's confidence, he felt relieved and said, "You're the owner, and you need to hold a ceremony for the opening. Go and get everything ready."
"No rush, I'll tidy up after I finish breakfast." Qin Xiaomi took the leather bag back to her room and ran back to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Zhu Yiqing, Zhu Sanhong, and Xu Azheng helped her by carrying a large bowl of noodles, a large bowl of cold sauce, and several bowls of side dishes to the front stall.
Jiang Dalang had been there for a while when he saw this and got up to greet Qin Xiaomi: "Xiaomi, good morning."
Since he had explicitly agreed to cancel the engagement last night and even signed a written agreement, Qin Xiaomi smiled at him: "Good morning, breakfast is ready, but you have to mix it yourself."
"What, mix it?" Jiang Dalang/Sheng Ting had eaten her cold noodles before, and in his previous life, the cold noodles were chilled with ice cubes, making them especially refreshing to eat in the sweltering summer.
But this was the first time in his life he had seen her make cold noodles, so naturally he had to ask her how to eat them.
"Watch." Qin Xiaomi took a large empty bowl, put noodles, shredded egg, shredded gourd, shredded cucumber, bean sprouts into it, poured on the sauce, and then started to stir it evenly.
Before long, a bowl of cold noodles with plenty of toppings and a light brown color was ready.
"understand?"
"Understood." Jiang Dalang smiled and started mixing the noodles himself. He then took the opportunity to say, "Xiao Mi, when we open for business later, I'll have my soldiers take your new medicine in public. After the Wei army has taken your new medicine, fewer people will question it."
Qin Xiaomi turned to look at him: "Won't you get accused of abusing your power?"
Public instrument for private use?
Jiang Dalang laughed: "No, it's common for soldiers to test drugs on themselves in the camp. As long as they are rewarded, that's fine. Besides, Xiaomi's new drug is safe and there is no risk. The soldiers have benefited from this drug test."
"Alright, the reward will be provided by the herbal medicine shop." Qin Xiaomi then asked how much the reward for drug trials in the military camp was usually.
Jiang Dalang was pleased that she was talking to him so unguardedly, and replied gently, "It depends on the level. If it's death, it's fifty taels, and you get a pension; if it's disability, it's thirty taels, and you also get a pension; if it's just a minor discomfort, you get a reward of five or twenty taels; if there are no abnormalities, there are even more benefits, one or three taels of silver for testing medicine."
"That's quite high." Qin Xiaomi was surprised by the reward.
Jiang Dalang nodded: "Yes, it is indeed quite high, so when the army starts testing the drug, the soldiers are scrambling to sign up."
"Have you tried the medicine?" Qin Xiaomi asked curiously.
Jiang Dalang shook his head: "No."
Thank goodness, the granddaughter/niece is finally getting along normally with Dalang! Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, and Uncle Qin are peeking through the small door, overjoyed.
Aunt Qin looked at them... Wake up, everyone! The reason why my niece Xiao Mi is getting along normally with Da Lang is because she succeeded last night.
If she doesn't succeed, this girl will definitely give Dalang a cold shoulder.
However, since they were in a good mood, Aunt Qin naturally wouldn't say anything to spoil the fun.
Their joy was short-lived, as Qin Xiaomi called out towards the small door, "Grandpa and Grandma, stop hiding! Come out and have breakfast, it's already prepared for you!"
Uh, can't this girl be less perceptive?
At that moment, Grandpa Qin regretted teaching his granddaughter martial arts.
But if a young lady doesn't have some martial arts skills, won't she be bullied? It's better to learn martial arts!
A moment later, the small door creaked open, and Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, and Uncle Qin and his wife emerged calmly, showing no embarrassment at being exposed by their younger relatives for peeping.
"Breakfast is ready? What kind of cold noodles are you making? Grandpa and Grandma must try their granddaughter's cooking." Grandpa Qin smiled.
"Try it quickly, it has mushroom powder added, which makes it very flavorful." Qin Xiaomi placed two large bowls of mixed noodles in front of Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin, and also served each of them a bowl of gourd and egg soup.
Then I sat down and started eating my portion.
*Thump*, Uncle Qin slammed his fist on the table: "Where's mine? I'm your elder, your own uncle."
When your parents were alive, and your missing brother, they were so good to me. Look at you, you don't show any filial piety to your elders!
Qin Xiaomi sneered: "Second Uncle, today is a good day, so don't force me to say something malicious to provoke you."
After saying that, he called to Aunt Qin, "Aunt, sit down and have breakfast. Don't pay attention to Uncle. He's getting old and hasn't learned to be self-reliant. It's shameful."
Aunt Qin: "..."
Isn't this a good day? But the malice in your words, niece, hasn't lessened much.
"Yes." Aunt Qin responded, sat down, and started mixing the noodles as Qin Xiaomai and Jiang Xiaozhu had instructed.
Xiao Gu and Xiao Mai were good children. The two of them mixed a big bowl of noodles for Uncle Qin: "Uncle, have breakfast."
"Look, look, even you, as the older sister, don't respect your elders as much as the two younger ones!" After saying that, Uncle Qin praised Qin Xiaogu and Qin Xiaomai, and said, "Xiaogu and Xiaomai, your uncle and aunt will be relying on you from now on."
Qin Xiaomai repeated, "Yes, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, don't worry, Xiaomai and my brother will take care of you in your old age."
"Nephew, your second uncle's own nephew! Come, come, eat more!" Uncle Qin was touched and urged them to eat more.
Qin Xiaomi: "Heh, Uncle finally made a profit."
Uncle Qin snorted: "It's a great day today, and as your elder, I won't hold it against you. Hurry up and eat."
Grandma Qin quickly said, "Alright, everyone, say less and eat quickly."
Aunt Qin watched this little farce and felt a surge of envy... When would she be able to live a normal life like Qin Zhuang, bickering and joking with her family like this?
Uncle Qin noticed her mood and added a few more shredded eggs to her bowl: "Wife, eat quickly."
His injured right hand had disappeared from the table and was gently touching Aunt Qin's hand below, comforting her... He had asked the Duke of Yan to make sure he could find his wife's family.
Qin Xiaomi is very perceptive; she can tell what her second uncle is doing just by observing his upper body movements... Tsk, another day of being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
Grandpa and Grandma, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, Little Aunt and Little Uncle, day after day, she can't stop eating dog food!
