Becoming wealthy by raising furry animals

Chapter 74 Successful opening

February 13th is a good day to open a business.

After Ban You prepared everything, Qingshutang finally officially opened on this day.

Li Lanxin was the first to come and show her support, followed by a group of old customers.

Most of them were Ban You’s customers in the East Market, who had come specially to show their support upon hearing that Ban You’s shop was opening.

Because of the lively atmosphere, many passers-by came in to take a look.

"I never thought there was a pet shop on Honghu Street. I've never seen one before."

"That's right, but this new shop has quite a comprehensive range. I heard the owner is a veterinarian."

Ban You overheard the conversation among the customers and quickly introduced them with a smile: "My shop has just opened. If you have any problems with your pet, please come and see us. We not only sell pet supplies and food, but we can also diagnose pet illnesses."

"Can you diagnose illnesses?" A customer looked Ban You up and down in confusion when he saw that she was a woman.

Although Ban You didn't like his staring at her, she knew that in this dynasty where it was rare for women to do business, it was normal for them not to believe her.

"Hey, Doctor Ban is a very skilled doctor."

Ban You remembered that the person who said this had brought his fish to her stall for treatment two days ago.

"My family's little goldfish were cured by Doctor Ban. I caught them from the river near Qingxuan Temple. They are very smart. If it weren't for Doctor Ban, I'm afraid all my fish would be gone."

"So amazing?" The customers who heard him spoke looked at Ban You in surprise, but Ban You just smiled and looked at everyone calmly.

Her confident look also made those who were originally skeptical gradually trust her a little more.

"Wouldn't that be as miraculous as Dr. Lou's?"

"I don't think so. Doctor Lou's ancestors were imperial physicians, and their families have been practicing medicine for generations. I'm afraid..." The person who said this realized that they were in Ban You's shop, so he stopped talking.

Ban You looked at everyone talking and said, "Dear customers, Qingsutang is opening today and everything is 20% off. Everyone can enjoy your shopping."

Ban You looked at the lively atmosphere and the crowded hall and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The trial operation that lasted for about half a month finally ended, and Ban You finally felt relieved.

There were many customers coming and going, and Liu Shi could not handle them all by himself. Cui Liu was also busy with the bills, so Ban You stood at the door and greeted the customers.

After an unknown amount of time, two carriages stopped in front of Ban You's shop. The one in front was extremely luxurious, with curtains draped with fine jadeite. The one behind, while not as gorgeous, was obviously very expensive.

Ban You looked at the carriage with some confusion.

"This carriage looks like it belongs to the Shangshu Mansion." A man who looked like a scholar looked at the carriage carefully and then spoke.

"Hey, I heard that Your Majesty intends to marry the Shangshu family's daughter to King Huan. Is that true?" The person who said this was the man standing next to the scholar.

"Shh, don't talk about this casually, or you might get yourself killed." The scholar quickly covered his mouth, looked around cautiously and said.

When Ban You heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: I heard it all, and I didn't miss a word.

While everyone was chatting, the person in the carriage slowly got out of the carriage, holding the maid's hand.

She was wearing a royal blue brocade cloud-patterned skirt, a gilded hairpin with flowers and pearls on her head, and a tulle veil on her face. She looked graceful, elegant, generous, and mysterious.

Seeing this, Ban You walked past the crowd and approached the woman, bowing: "May I ask what you, distinguished guest, are here for?"

"My young lady has a pet that has fallen ill. She has sought out many famous doctors in the capital, but none have been able to cure it. So, I've come here to ask Doctor Ban to take a look. If he can cure it, my young lady will reward him handsomely."

"Of course." Ban You said with a generous smile, "But I have never seen your pet, so I don't know..."

The maid looked back and saw the servant in the carriage behind hurriedly leading a white tiger down from the carriage.

The onlookers were frightened when they saw the white tiger and fled in all directions.

"This white tiger is my young lady's favorite pet. I hope Doctor Ban will take a look at it."

Ban You glanced at the white tiger and saw it lying quietly on the ground with its eyelids drooping, occasionally revealing its golden eyes to glance around nonchalantly.

“Ouch…” (Boring…)
Ban You heard Bai Hu's words and tried hard to suppress her laughter. She really didn't expect Bai Hu, who looked so fierce, to have such a strong Tianjin accent.

"Ahem, the shop is packed with customers. Why don't you follow me to the backyard?"

After Ban You finished speaking, the woman nodded.

She walked into the shop and whispered in Cui Liu's ear when she reached her side, "Calm down the customers. If anyone is curious and wants to go to the backyard, don't let them get there."

"clear."

Ban You said, then turned back to look at the woman and said, "Let's go, it's right here."

Ban You walked to the door of the wing room, opened it, and invited the woman in.

When they smelled the scent of strangers coming into the house, they jumped onto the windowsill out of curiosity to watch.

"Meow!" (Why is there still a tiger?)
"Woo!" (Run! Run!)

When Youyou and the other small ones saw the white tiger, they quickly hid. Only Laicai, Jinzi, Yinyin, and Fubao were left watching outside.

"Right here, please bring the white tiger over so I can take a look."

The servant holding the white tiger brought it in front of Ban You.

Ban You checked and asked about Baihu's condition.

"What's its name?"

"Liubai." The woman began to speak. This was the first sentence she said when she came here. Her voice was soft with a hint of clarity, just like a mountain spring, which made people feel clear-headed after hearing it.

Ban You heard the woman pause before continuing to ask, "Why do you feel something is wrong with it?"

The woman glanced at the maid, who then looked at Ban You with understanding. "Yesterday after lunch, Liubai became a little listless. I fed him his usual favorite meat, but he barely ate a bite. Later, we asked Doctor Lou to come take a look, but he still couldn't find anything."

"Today I heard that a new pet shop opened on Honghu Street. The owner is also a veterinarian. So my daughter came here hoping that Dr. Ban could cure Liubai. The consultation fee is negotiable."

Ban You nodded and gently touched Liu Bai's abdomen: "Does it hurt here?"

"Ah..." (Ah...hungry...)
To avoid suspicion, the servant who had come with him took Liu Bai with him and left the room. Now there were only three people, a group of little ones, and Liu Bai, a big one, left in the room.

Therefore, the woman and her maid were very surprised when they heard Ban You and Liu Bai communicating freely.

But they came from aristocratic families after all, so they were only surprised for a moment before returning to normal.

"Besides being hungry, what else is wrong?"

"Ah..." (hungry...)
"What did it eat yesterday?"

"Yesterday's breakfast was raw beef with vegetables and fruits, and a few chicken necks. For lunch, I had pet food from the pet store, and an extra half pound of beef."

"It looks like it's only about six or seven months old, right?"

"Indeed, Liubai is about seven months old now."

"Where do you usually keep it?"

"A tiger garden was specially built in the palace, and they are usually kept there."

Ban You nodded and looked at it carefully again, then came to his own conclusion.

"It's hungry." Ban You was immediately refuted by the maid after he said this.

"How could that be? When my young lady bought Liubai, she specifically asked how much it should eat. It has never missed a single meal. How could it possibly be hungry?"

"What you should think about now is that it's a good thing that it has been hungry for a long time and no longer has the strength to pounce on you. Otherwise, if the tiger protects its food, you..." Ban You poured herself a cup of tea, but the meaning of her words made the other two people at a loss for words.
