A Western Doctor's Happy Farming Life

Chapter 26: Argument Over Fabric

Translator: LiamHW

Thanks to the seasonings, they got their fruits well-sold. After the seasonings were sold out, half of bag of fruits were left.

Seeing that people got no interest on the fruits, they intended to leave and go back home.

“Hey, are you selling fruit of  fructus momordicae?”

A young man waved his hands towards them rushing over, it seemed that he wanted them to stop.

Song Qinghan nodded with his face full of confusion, saying, “What’s the matter?”

The young man stopped in front of them and held his own knees with deep breathe, saying, “I…I am the waiter in Huichun Shop, Doctor Luo asked me to come over here since he knew that you will come today. He would love both of you to go to Huichun Shop.”

Doctor Luo? Did he got the result of the medical function trial?

Song Qinghan looked back at Wu Dahu, wanting to see his reaction. Wu Dahu showed no intention to reject and nodded, saying, “Alright, let’s head to Huichun Shop.”

The young man led the way in front of them, while he turned around to see if the two keep following up within every few steps.

Noticing the pure and innocent eyes of the young man, Song Qinghan got to ask him without hesitation, saying, “Young Brother, do you know the exact reason Doctor Luo invited us for?”

A trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on the face of the young man after he heard the question from Song Qinghan, but still answered him honestly, saying, “Doctor Luo aims to condemn you for something!”

Song Qinghan got himself shock hearing that, and then he sped up to walked in parallel with the young man and continued to ask, “What? Why? Is that something wrong with the fruits?”

The young man scratched himself on his head and said hesitantly, “Pro… Probably yes? I am not that sure, I am just a waiter there!”

Song Qinghan stopped his annoying and endless questions seeing that the young man was quite helpless to answer such questions. He just shut his mouth up and kept walking with his head lowering down.

However, he didn’t showed any grievance on his face, yet his mind was loaded with bunch of stones.

Condemn? Something wrong with the fruit? Or maybe he got an improper physique to drink that? He should have made it clear that day that people who long suffered with an ailing stomach were not allowed to drink the tea in a long-term period. Damn! Should he stop selling the fruits as he promised that day?

Wu Dahu could read out the unease of Song Qinghan, he patted him on his shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry, we’ll see what happens.”

Song Qinghan nodded, and leaned himself a bit to the direction of Wu Dahu, feeling bit warm in his mind.

Not long, the plaque of the Huichun Shop erupted in front of the three. The young man sped up and rushed into the shop, it seemed that he was going to inform Doctor Luo.

Doctor Luo showed in minutes, with his face grimed and serious. Song Qinghan spoke out his confusion lingering in his mind, “Doctor Luo, what is it?”

Beyond Song Qinghan’s expectation, Doctor Luo frowned and showed a more serious face, looking at him as if he was about to declare his guilty, and speaking in solemn tone, “How dare you! How dare you not take them out earlier since they possess such a perfect medical function!”

“No, no, listen to me.” denied Song Qinghan.

It was a subconscious reaction as for Song Qinghan, but later he realized the actual meaning from the words of Doctor Luo, he was stunned, asking, “What? What did you say? A perfect medical function?”

Doctor Luo nodded showing his satisfaction on the marvelous fruits, saying, “This object is the one featuring sweet yet sour taste and cool-nature, it helps cooler down the heated blood, alleviate the symptom of coughing, clear out the metabolite and so on. But as for what you mentioned about beauty promotion, I didn’t find it yet. But since it features clearance of the metabolite, it naturally will promote the beauty of someone.”

Song Qinghan looked at Doctor Luo with admiration. He didn’t expect him to figure out all the medical functions of the fruits in such a short time.

But the solemn face of Doctor Luo still remained, Song Qinghan thought of the question Doctor Luo asked just now. He hesitated for a while but said, “Actually, despite that I know the medical functions of the fruits in advance, I found the appearance of them in the mountain most recently. So when I got them all set, I brought them to the market in time. Never ever dare I to hide them up privately.”

Hearing his answer, the complexion on Doctor Luo seemed to be released gradually. He nodded and said, “Oh, I see. So that’s my fault to condemn you in such a way. As for the fruits, we prepare to sell them in the Huichun Shop. How about you supply the fruits for us in the future?”

Song Qinghan looked at Wu Dahu in surprise, he was surprised that it was so lucky for them to get such a fortune.

After that, Wu Dahu thought of the request of Shopkeeper Lv, he had to confirm the intention of Doctor Luo and asked, “So can we sell to others in the bazaar?”

Doctor Luo looked at Wu Dahu in a rather strange way, as if he had seen through his mind, saying with a smile, “Of course, we opened the Huichun Shop aiming to help people, we never expect and long for any reputation and benefit. As long as the matter is beneficial to the folks, that will be our expectation.”

It could tell how sincerity Doctor Luo was from what he said, both Song Qinghan and Wu Dahu felt quite touched hearing that, and nodded without hesitation, saying, “Alright, we will strive to meet your request no matter how many the fruits you want.”

Doctor Luo nodded in satisfaction, pointing at the shopkeeper featuring a round face, saying, “You can negotiate with him about the details of the business, I will leave now.”

After that, Doctor Luo walked into the room, it seemed that he was going to continue to treat his patients.

After he left, the round face shopkeeper smiled and walked over to the two, saying, “You can supply the fruits once a week, and one pack for each time. As for the price, how about the standard that Doctor Luo set before?”

A flash of surprise flashed across Song Qinghan’s eyes. He didn’t expect that it was so gorgeous for Huichun Shop that they would purchase the fruits in such a large quantity, and they didn’t even bargain for that.

Of course that was quite a big deal for Song Qinghan, so he nodded without hesitation, saying, “Okay! Then we will follow the rule. But this time we only got half bag of them, do you need?”

The shopkeeper nodded and waved at the waiter, saying, “Come over here and take this bag inside!”

As he said it, he took out five silver coins from the counter and delivered them into Song Qinghan’s hands, saying, “If you come here next time and find that I’m not here, you can look for that waiter. I will order him for that!”

Song Qinghan nodded in such a happiness holding the coins in his hands, and then left the shop with Wu Dahu after bidding farewell to the shopkeeper.

After they left the shop, they prepared to purchase some household goods. When they passed by a fabric shop, Song Qinghan conceived an idea that he wanted to dress Wu Dahu up. And then he pulled Wu Dahu’s hands, saying, “Let’s get some fabric!”

Wu Dahu didn’t think too much about it. He knew the fact that every femina male was quite enchanted by variously colorful clothes. In addition, Song Qinghan got his own cabinet of scarcity and emptiness. He couldn’t afford for the clothes before, but now they got money. Of course he should get Song Qinghan some clothes in decency.

When the shopkeeper of the fabric shop saw the two standing there, he quickly measured them from bottom to the top. He estimated the consuming capacity of them for a while and then walked out to welcome them with a big smile, pointing at the fabric in a rustic color, saying, “Are you coming for the fabric? This one is the best-sold brand in my shop, featuring durability and high quality. It is suitable for you to sew.”

Song Qinghan reached out and touched the fabric. He could feel that the shopkeeper didn’t lie about the durability of that, but it was somehow rough. He then said with his eyebrows frowned, “Do you have some more recommendation? Show us. This one is too rough.”

The shopkeeper pointed at another fabric and said, “What about this one? Silky and smooth. The most suitable one for sewing.”

Song Qinghan walked over and touched it, but still shook his head, saying, “No, it’s too thin. It must be easy to break.”

The shopkeeper withdrew his smile gradually noticing that Song Qinghan was so picky. He pointed at all the fabrics around in the shop, saying, “Well then, treat yourself and see which one you like. You’ve got a golden finger allowing you to sense the scarcity of the fabrics.”

Obviously, the words uttered from the shopkeeper was rather offensive and annoying. But Song Qinghan didn’t care too much about that, he just nodded, answering, “Fine, it is a good idea too. I will treat myself, after all, you don’t even know what I need.”

A look of disdain flashed in the eyes of the shopkeeper while he himself kept his complexion unchanged. He let Song Qinghan touch every fabric in the shop.

Song Qinghan paused when he reached the last piece of fabric. He then turned around and looked at the shopkeeper and asked, “How much is this one?”

The shopkeeper answered impatiently, “This is one of the best fabric in our shop, I will charge you ten silver coins for that.”

Song Qinghan took a deep breath and exclaimed, “Huh? That expensive?”

The shopkeeper delivered a scornful smile to Song Qinghan, saying, “Well, it is not the most expensive one here. The most luxurious one costs you 50 silver coins!”

Song Qinghan subconsciously glanced at the white cloth next to him. If it wasn’t a wrong guess, the most luxurious one must be this one. Because Song Qinghan could clearly feel the best touch from that fabric. It was like touching an air, silky and smooth. If he could use this fabric to make a cloth, it would be perfect.

However, Song Qinghan didn’t pick that white one considering that Wu Dahu got lots of work to finish everyday. It could be a bad idea to wear some silky cloth like that to work.

This grey one was different. It got a fine touching feeling, featured thickness and perfect color. It could be applied to make a cloth suitable for outside or domestic activities. Well, that was to say, this one was the most practical one.

Wu Dahu noticed a sight of hesitation in Song Qinghan’s eyes, he then said with a smile, “Take it if you like, I think this one is quite good though, but it seems not matching your skin color!”

If it was Wu Dahu’s turn to pick some fabric, he would pick some bright colors to match Song Qinghan, because Song Qinghan got his skin light. He definitely needed some bright color to set off the beauty of his skin.

Song Qinghan glanced at him strangely and said, “What? I pick this for you. I don’t need it to match my skin as long as it matches yours.”

Wu Dahu was shocked by his words all of a sudden, he shook his head, saying, “I got enough clothes, don’t waste money over me. You should entertain yourself.”

Song Qinghan tugged at his sleeves, saying, “Huh? If you get enough clothes, how can you wear something like this? Don’t argue with me. I have to make a new one for your today!”

Seeing his serious expression, Wu Dahu thought that he was just frowned upon by Song Qinghan through his indecent clothes, he nodded and said with a smile of bitterness, “Fine. But I don’t need such a good-quality one to make me a new cloth. Why not pick the one the shopkeeper recommended. Alright, how much is that one?”

As the two argued with each other, the shopkeeper was just standing there picking his ears. When he heard the question of Wu Dahu, he took a pause and answered leisurely, “50 copper coins!”
