Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 167 Convince
After Mai Huang had been vaccinated, the old doctor left them all, so many test subjects came, and they also wanted to find a little commonality and opposite sex among these people.

Qianlong heard that Yongen had found so many people to test the cowpox, so he specially sent people from the Tai Hospital to participate in the whole process. After all, it is too unimaginable for something from a cow to be planted on a human. Confirmation is hard to convincing.

Because Bafu also went to vaccinate this time, without the help of him and Mai Huang, Mai Xiang can't go anywhere these days and can only stay in the shop.

On this day, Mai Xiang was checking the warehouse, Zhao Qiaohe said that someone outside came to find Mai Xiang, and it was the young master of the Tong family.

"Tell him I'm not here." Mai Xiang didn't want to see him, she couldn't respond to Tong Liwen's wishes.

"But I already told you that you are in the warehouse." Zhao Qiaohe was a little embarrassed.

Mai Xiang thought about it for a while, since Tong Liwen brought Huai Ci's things last time, the two have never met each other again, Mai Xiang still owes the other party an explanation, why not take this opportunity to hint him.

"Mai Xiang, where have you been these days? I have been here several times but I haven't seen you." Tong Liwen showed a gentle smile when he saw Mai Xiang.

"I went to get vaccinated, by the way, have you had vaccinated yet?" Mai Xiang suddenly thought of a way to repay him.

"No, my mother said, that was too dangerous, so I wasn't allowed to grow it."

"It's not dangerous at all. Now there is the latest method. You can tell it on my face. There is not a single pit. I just had a low-grade fever for a day. My younger brothers and sisters have all been vaccinated. It is the Gongbeile Mansion." Your doctor is doing the seeding for free in the west of the city, and the imperial physician in the palace is also there, so you can go too. People from my grandfather’s side and people from my grandma’s side have all gone.”

People in the Zhao family heard that not only free vaccinations, but also free meals, almost all the adults and children in the family who have not had acne have gone.

Tong Liwen was half-believing after hearing this, thought for a while and said, "I have to go home and discuss this with my parents."

"It should be, it should be, why don't you go home and discuss it with your mother now, I heard that the pus is time-sensitive, after this period of time it won't work, and it doesn't have to be when it will be the next time. "

At that time, neither Mai Xiang nor the doctors knew that the pustules from the cowpox on the human body were also effective.

Seeing that Mai Xiang spoke so solemnly, Tong Liwen looked at Mai Xiang's face carefully, turned around and went home after reading it, and forgot his original intention of coming to find Mai Xiang.

An hour later, Mrs. Tong went into Mai Xiang's shop with her maid.

"Mrs. Tong, you're so busy, so I trouble you to make a trip. If you need something, you can just send someone to greet me." Mai Xiang still felt a little grateful to Mrs. Tong.

In the past six months, because of the exclusive supply to Huai Ci, Mai Xiang sent much less things to Tong's family, and only sent some purses.For this reason, Mai Xiang made a special trip to apologize to Mrs. Tong, but she didn't dare to say that it was for Huaici, she only said that she opened a store in the capital in partnership with someone else, and the other party sent people out of the store, and Mai Xiang shipped the goods.

The fact is basically the same, the purchase price Huai Ci got from Mai Xiang was not low at all, and he never followed the discount given by Mai Xiang.

"You child, I also said what have you been up to lately? You haven't seen anyone for so long. It turns out that you have been vaccinated. Is what you told my son true?"

When Mai Xiang heard that the other party came for this matter, she was relieved, and took Mrs. Tong into the room to look at her arm carefully, and explained the process of vaccination and the symptoms of acne in detail.

"It's that simple?" Mrs. Tong didn't believe it either.

"My family has gone to plant, and I'm still staying there. My sisters heard that they also had a low-grade fever for a day and they were fine. There were a few pimples on the scratches on the arms, pus and scabs. That's good. I just came back a few days ago, and no one has been watching my shop these two days, otherwise, I plan to make a special trip to the house to talk to Mrs. Tong about it. "

"It's because you still have me in your heart. I haven't seen you come to the door for more than half a year. I thought I offended you. Is the little girl angry with me?" Mrs. Tong asked half jokingly and half seriously.

"Mrs. Tong is really good at joking. If you want to offend, I offended Mrs. Tong." Mai Xiang meant that she broke her promise.

Mai Xiangming knew that Mrs. Tong didn't mean that, but she just went for it, because she didn't want to talk about anything else. Although Tong's family is good, it's not her kind. In this regard, it can only be said that the two have no fate.

"My child, is this little thing worth your attention? Girl, I'll take my son to the vaccination site first, and come to play at home sometime when I have time." Mrs. Tong stood up after speaking.

From Mai Xiang's words, she still heard some meaning. Now that Mai Xiang has climbed up to Lord Baylor and Fujin, she will definitely not wrong herself to be a small child. This matter is probably in vain.

At this time, the woman outside heard that Mrs. Tong was leaving, and brought a basket for Mai Xiang, which contained two watermelons.

"I know your family doesn't lack anything now. These two melons are grown in our farm. You should save them to relieve the heat." Mrs. Tong said.

Mai Xiang didn't want to owe her a favor, so she took out two toothbrushes from the counter and handed them over. These toothbrushes, Mai Xiang, were all carefully packaged and packed in cardboard boxes, and sold one by one.

"Ma'am, this is a new product launched in my store. It's a toothbrush. I'll give my wife a pair."

"Hey, you still know how to make this toothbrush? I heard that this thing is not cheap, and I'm partial to your good stuff." Mrs. Tong opened the box and smiled.

She is a smart person. The toothbrush she holds in her hand is much more delicate than the bone toothbrush sold outside. The most rare thing is the arc.

Mai Xiang didn't expect that the next day, Mrs. Tong sent her mother-in-law to wrap up the remaining ten or so toothbrushes. She probably wanted to give them as gifts.

Seeing that the toothbrush was selling well, Mai Xiang closed the account and handed the money to Ye Dafu.

"Father, take the 100 taels of silver and buy some fields, I don't understand this." Mai Xiang knew that she was a little girl and had no property rights.

"Girl, where did this money come from?" Ye Dafu was a little puzzled, he probably knew a little about the shop's business, these days, after all costs and expenses were taken into account, it would be good for Mai Xiang to have 50 taels of silver in his hand.

"Father, this is the money for selling toothbrushes. As you know, Gege's family recently asked for a hundred, and Tong's family sent people to buy more than a dozen, plus some retail ones, and gave them to a few uncles and friends." We have more than 100 taels of money from Mrs. Shi and the others. Put the 100 taels in your hands. You can tell the village chief to see who has land to sell. Food is almost enough."

Mai Xiang had already made an agreement with Wufu and the others that a toothbrush handle would cost [-] Wen, Liu Huilan would make a toothbrush for [-] Wen, and Mai Xiang would earn [-] Wen for selling a toothbrush. A few, even Liu Huilan's hands were relaxed a lot, and Mai Xiang did another good deed, driving everyone to become rich.

Ye Dafu heard that it was the money for selling toothbrushes, so he didn't ask any more questions, but said with a smile: "Daddy originally wanted to give you some silver, and the rabbit raised by Daddy also sold for ten taels of silver, and Daddy wanted you to save it to buy a piece of land." Woolen cloth."

Seeing that he could earn money, Ye Dafu proved that he is not a waste, and his mood is obviously much more cheerful. In addition, his daughter trusts him so much, and she doesn't hide her mind from him like Ye Tiezhu and Liu Shi worried, and the corners of her mouth are even more at odds. Closed.

"Father, you are the head of the family, and the wheat field is still small. You have to learn to take care of these things. This is the account book I made for you. You will be responsible for the expenses of the family in the future." Mai Xiang said.

Ye Dafu heard this, a complicated look flashed in the corner of his eyes, he looked at Mai Xiang, quite reluctant.

It's a pity that Mai Xiang focused on the account books in her hand and didn't notice anything strange about Ye Dafu.

Half a month passed quickly, Mai Huang and the others were sent back by the donkey cart hired by Li Langzhong and the others, and Mrs. Zhao also came back at the same time. Mrs. Zhao has been there to accompany these children, because Mai Di is really small.

This time, instead of Mai Xiang looking for Cao Xueqin, Cao Xueqin came to find Mai Xiang by himself. He had heard from Liu Huilan that Mai Xiang had only a little scar on his arm from the vaccination, and he still refused to believe it. Cao Xueqin naturally wanted to see what happened.

"Sir, come and take a look at Mai Di's scar. This is where he got the pox." Mai Xiang knew why he came, hugged Mai Di, and pointed it out to him.

After all, Cao Xueqin grew up in a rich family, and she is half a doctor, so when she saw Mai Di's scar, her first reaction was still unbelievable.

"Is this a scar from vaccination? But according to my childhood impression, vaccination is to blow something into the nostrils. Look at the pit on my face, isn't it from vaccination?" Cao Xueqin pointed at her face and shook her head.

"Sir, you also said that you were a child, and it has been 30 years. Medicine must continue to improve and perfect. I heard that the emperor spent a lot of effort to find a folk prescription. This is a folk prescription, which is pus taken from cows. Oatmeal, I heard that the effect is very good, much stronger than human pox, you can see it after looking at Mai Huang." Mai Xiang asked Mai Huang to describe the situation when she had acne again.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, and I'll take the child to see it." Cao Xueqin saw that Mai Xiang's family had been inoculated with cowpox, and there was nothing wrong with it. It would be a lie to say that he was not curious or moved, but the cowpox, he I've never heard of it, so I want to see it for myself.

A month later, Mai Huang and the others still went to the small courtyard again. This time, they didn't put in much effort to inoculate them with human pox. Instead, they found a few smallpox patients and let them live together for half a month until That day, one patient died and the other recovered. Mai Huang and the others were still alive and kicking without any sign of infection, so they were sent back again.
