After discussing it with Liu Youtian and his wife, Ye Wenxiu decided to find a time to ask Feng Shi.

The next day, Liu Fusheng got up early, packed his own medicinal herbs, and drove his oxcart to Liu Youtian's house, packed his herbs there as well, and then waited at the village entrance with his oxcart.

"Brother Fusheng, is your home in the county town? Yes, if not me, then who will?"

"Aren't you going to your house?"

"I'm not going. I'll send Stone instead. Stone went to sell the medicinal herbs last time."

"I'm already out here, so I'll go first this time. If there's a chance in the future, I'll let Mancang go with Shitou. Young people can get along well, and Mancang can also go out and broaden his horizons."

Liu Siyue arranged the prepared pastries, basket by basket, on the oxcart. "Auntie, Auntie, you two sit on my oxcart. Fourth Uncle, you come with me to drive the oxcart."

After you sell the medicine today, you can go back first. I definitely won't be able to come back today.

"Okay, after we sell the medicine, we'll head straight back to Fengyuan Village."

"Alright, let's go."

Liu Siyue and her group drove the oxcart to the village entrance and met up with Liu Youtian and the others. The three oxcarts then headed towards the county town together.

Some villagers who got up early saw the oxcart loaded with goods and were filled with envy. "See? Everyone who's on good terms with Liu Dawang's family is benefiting from this."

"Yes! Maoquan used to have a good relationship with Dawang's family, and they would help them make money. But they had a falling out last time, and now they don't help them anymore."

We should try to maintain a good relationship with Dawang's family in the future. If they ever need any help, we should be proactive. Hopefully, Dawang will also lend us a hand in the future.

"Yes, that makes sense."

Since everyone left early in the morning and hadn't eaten, Liu Siyue went to town to buy two steamed buns for each person so that everyone could have something to eat first.

The oxcart swayed and rattled until it reached the county town. Liu Siyue led them directly to Huichuntang. "Auntie, Second Auntie, get off the cart. We've arrived."

This was the first time the two sisters-in-law from the Feng family had come to the county town. Seeing the grand facade of Huichuntang, they couldn't help but exclaim, "The pharmacies in the city are indeed more impressive than those in the town, and their medical skills are definitely better too."

Dewey spotted the big blue ox immediately and hurried out to greet her, "Madam Liu, it's been a long time! Are you here to sell medicinal herbs?"

"Yes, I'm here to sell some medicinal herbs. Are Manager Wang and Doctor Li here?"

"Everyone's here, everyone's here. Come in with me quickly."

"No rush. First, help me check the herbs and weigh them. These are my uncles. They live far away, so we need to get back quickly."

"Alright, come with me to the back gate and we'll weigh the oxcart for you."

"Fourth Uncle, please keep an eye on the oxcart for me and make sure no one touches anything on it."

"Okay, Fourth Uncle will keep an eye on things for you. You can go and get busy."

Liu Siyue took out the pastries she had prepared in advance and stepped into the clinic.

There were no patients at the clinic at the moment, so Doctor Li was not in office; only two apprentice doctors were watching the shop.

As Liu Siyue walked inside, she ran into Doctor Li, who was coming out in front of her. "Madam Liu, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for a long time," Doctor Li said with a smile.

"Dr. Li, is there some good news? You look so happy."

"Come inside with me quickly, let's sit down and talk. The innkeeper is waiting for you inside!"

"Manager Wang, it's been a long time! These are some pastries I made. I brought them for you to try. What do you think of the taste? Can you sell them in the county town?"

Shopkeeper Wang chuckled, "So, Madam Liu is planning to start a pastry business!"

"Yes, please try it and give me some feedback!"

Liu Siyue opened all the oil paper packages, which contained various red fruit products in different patterns and colors.

Shopkeeper Wang picked up a piece with a small stick attached to it, and upon closer inspection, he discovered it was a large rooster. "Wow! It's a large rooster! Just looking at its appearance is very tempting."

Let me try it first and see how it tastes.

"Hmm, not bad, the sweet and sour taste is very appetizing, kids will definitely like this pastry."

Dr. Li also tasted a plum blossom-shaped piece. "Hmm, not bad. This is made with hawthorn berries, right? It's appetizing and aids digestion; food and medicine share the same origin."

"Do you think I can sell these pastries?"

"Selling? Of course you can sell it. Are you planning to sell it at a stall or open a shop?"

"I don't set up a stall or open a shop; I just sell my wares in other people's shops."

"How much is this? Give me two pounds first. My elderly relatives and children at home have been saying they don't have much of an appetite lately. I'll take this to them as a snack to whet their appetites."

"I'm only giving you two pounds this time. If you want to eat it again in the future, you'll have to pay for it. Come with me to the car to get it in a bit."

"Madam Liu, I have good news for you. I have successfully prepared the anesthetic powder and verified its effectiveness. The anesthetic effect is truly remarkable, greatly reducing the suffering of patients."

"How did Dr. Li verify it?"

"I tested it on pigs multiple times before I dared to use it on humans."

Surprisingly, the dosage used for pigs was just right for humans.

"I used anesthetic powder to save a few people a few days ago. When I stabbed their flesh with a knife, they didn't feel any pain. They only cried out in pain after the effects of the medicine wore off."

"Dr. Li is truly amazing. He has put the anesthetic powder into use in just a few days. The injured and sick are in luck."

"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to go see them selling medicinal herbs."

"Have all the medicinal herbs been weighed?"

"Everything's been weighed; the waiter's gone to settle the bill."

After a while, Dewey came out with the calculated accounts and silver. "The accounts are all settled. Everyone, check and collect your money: Liu Shitou, 21 taels and 128 cash; Liu Mancang, 28 taels and 736 cash; Feng Dagang, 94 taels and 75 cash."

Feng Dagang tremblingly accepted the silver. He simply couldn't believe it. How could it sell for so much money? He didn't even know how he had managed to open the clinic.

After leaving the clinic, Feng Dagang said, "Wife, slap me!" Su Lianhua pinched his leg without hesitation, making Feng Dagang wince in pain. "It really hurts! Am I dreaming?"

"Uncle, Aunt, Brother Shitou, Uncle Fusheng, let me take you to eat!"

"No, no, no, you go ahead and do what you need to do. We'll buy some steamed buns and bread, and eat them on our way back."

"Okay, then be careful on the road."

Feng Daqiang tucked the silver into his pocket, his heart pounding. "I couldn't help but want to touch it and look at it."

Liu Fusheng was also very happy. He received more than 28 taels of silver today. He was very happy because his mother had finally gotten the house she had been longing for.

The two men envied the Feng brothers, who sold their goods for over 90 taels of silver in one go. It was all thanks to the Feng brothers' large and strong family!

According to Feng Dagang, they always go into the mountains in groups of 10, which is an advantage of having a large family.

Liu Siyue drove the oxcart to the Yun residence. As soon as she knocked on the door, Jin'an opened it and said, "Madam, you're back. Please come in."

Qingwu darted out in a flash, "Madam, we've missed you so much! You haven't come in so long!"

"Why didn't you bring Miss with you, Madam? Does Madam not intend to stay?"

"Yes, I'm here to deliver pastries. I'll probably go back in a day or two."

Go next door and invite Mrs. Xu over. Tell her I've arrived.

"Okay, you go in and rest for a while, I'll go and get someone right away."

When Wang Zhilan heard that Liu Siyue had come, she was very excited. She wondered if Liu Siyue had brought any pastries with her, as her shop was waiting for them.

"Sister Liu, we've been waiting for you!"

"Sister Wang, please sit down."

"I missed you so much, sister! Why did it take you so long to come back after you went back?"

"I have a lot to do at home and I'm also busy making pastries. That's why I brought a cart full of pastries today. Take a look at the appearance and taste them first."
