The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

Chapter 130 Chain Operation

The prescription slowly took shape under Chen Xi's pen, and every word was neat and powerful.

After writing, she gently blew away the ink that had not yet dried, and then took out a ginseng from her bosom. The ginseng exuded a faint luster all over. It was obvious that it had been nourished for many years with precious spiritual spring water in her special space, and its medicinal effect was far beyond that of ordinary products.

"This ginseng is nourished by spiritual springs. You only need to add one piece each time you decoct medicine to greatly enhance the medicinal power." Chen Xi spoke gently and handed the ginseng to Mr. Fang.

The ginseng was still covered with moist soil, making it look particularly fresh. Mr. Fang took it with both hands, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart why this young female doctor would carry such a precious medicinal material with her.

However, with just one glance, Mr. Fang's eyes, which had seen all the rare medicinal herbs in the world, had already recognized that this ginseng was of extraordinary quality. Even among the many Ganoderma lucidum ginsengs he had searched for his wife over the years, this was the best.

He couldn't help but admire Chen Xi even more.

"Ah——" A long yawn broke the silence in the room. Mrs. Fang's eyelids seemed to be heavy and her tiredness was evident.

"Madam, if you feel tired, you may as well take a rest first. I will order the kitchen to carefully prepare the medicinal soup and personally serve it to you. Doctor Chen, I will see you out now and then return to accompany you immediately."

Mr. Fang comforted his wife in a soft voice while carefully tidying up the corners of her bedding.

Following Master Fang's steps, Chen Xi slowly walked out of the room, and the sunlight outside the door shone on the two of them.

"Doctor Chen, I cannot express my gratitude for what you did today. As for the medical fee, I will send someone to deliver it later, so I won't come to you in person." Mr. Fang's words were filled with urgency, and it was obvious that he was more concerned about his wife on the sickbed in the room.

Chen Xi smiled slightly. She didn't care about the change in addressing Master Fang. She was more concerned about the follow-up matters of the prescription. "The consultation fee is not urgent, but the prescription..."

"Doctor Chen, please rest assured that I will no longer have any improper thoughts about the secret recipe. It's strange to say, ever since my wife tasted the desserts in your store, her mood has miraculously improved a lot. In addition, those desserts are always in short supply, which made me think of buying the recipe." There was a bit of helplessness and sincerity in Mr. Fang's tone.

"Master Fang, if you are willing, it is not a problem to order a few kilograms of desserts every day, but I have a more comprehensive proposal. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?" Chen Xi's proposal was a bit mysterious.

"Oh? What a good idea. Why not just speak frankly?"

Chen Xi looked up at the closed door and said softly, "It seems inconvenient to talk here. Why don't we change places?"

Upon hearing this, Master Fang looked back at the tightly closed door, fearing that he would disturb his wife's rest, and then led Chen Xi to the spacious main hall.

"My suggestion is that Mr. Fang can consider joining our chain operation model!"

"Chain operation?" This term was quite new to Mr. Fang, and he looked very interested.

"To be specific, you can open a shop in your own territory, but you need to hang our sign, register it with the government, and pay a certain franchise fee. We will also send someone to teach your staff how to make those popular desserts."

"Of course, the price of your store must be consistent with that of our main store. The franchise fee is two hundred taels of silver per store. But please believe that with our current popularity, you will be able to recover your costs within a few months."

“Moreover, once you become our franchisee, if we launch new products in the future, we will also provide free training for your employees without any additional expenses.”

After hearing this, Mr. Fang fell into deep thought, his brows revealing a thoughtful look.

Seeing this, Chen Xi smiled gently, "Master Fang, you may wish to think about this matter slowly. I will come to give acupuncture to Madam in seven days, and you can give me an answer then. I will leave first. Bye."

"Doctor Chen, take care. You don't have to see me off." Master Fang watched Chen Xi leave, but he became more concerned about his wife's condition.

"Sister, did Master Fang make things difficult for you?" As soon as Chen Xi stepped into the house, Chen Ping'an and Chen Ersao surrounded her, their eyes full of worry and concern.

"Don't worry, second brother and sister-in-law, everything will go well, just focus on your own things." Chen Xi's relaxed answer finally put the two of them at ease.

This morning, the anxiety and tension in their hearts were stronger than ever before. They were afraid that Chen Xi would encounter an accident outside, and they were also worried that the foundation of their life that they had worked so hard to build would be easily shaken.

"Thanks to God, thanks to God!" Chen Ersao clasped her hands together and bowed devoutly to the newly added statue of the God of Wealth in the store, her face filled with gratitude.

Chen Xi looked at the statue of the God of Wealth that suddenly appeared, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

As I recall, when I first bought this store, it was completely empty and there were no statues of gods.

When Chen Pingan saw this, his hearty laughter immediately filled the entire store.

"Well," Chen Xi explained slowly with a smile, a gentle light in his eyes, "Second sister-in-law went to the town to carefully select and bring them back the day after the store opened. She hopes that our store will be prosperous and make a lot of money, so that we can have a good start and live a better life."

Chen Xi nodded gently, his brows revealing his deep understanding and gratitude for this kindness.

Having solved a major problem, Chen Xi felt bright and happy.

On his way home, he made a detour to the grain store, picked out the best rice and flour, and quietly took out a large bag of colorful candies and fresh fruits from his mysterious space. He skillfully mixed them into the shopping bag, creating the illusion that he had just returned from a bustling town with a full load.

When he opened the door, Xie Tianyi was leaning on the bed, asking gently, "How is it going? Did the discussion with Mr. Fang go well?"

As Chen Xi spoke, he took out a pear from his arms and gently handed it to Xie Tianyi. "It's quite smooth. Mr. Fang is a very easy-going person. But how did you know that his wife was unwell?"

The fragrance of pears quietly permeates the air.

Xie Tianyi took a light bite of the pear, and the sweet juice instantly filled his mouth, which was extremely sweet.

He savored it carefully, secretly surprised.

Although these fruits seemed ordinary and could be easily purchased in town, the ones Chen Xi took out were obviously superior in taste and color, almost comparable to the carefully selected fruits in the county town.

Xie Tianyi understood in his heart, and he chose not to ask too many questions about Chen Xi's secret, but just enjoyed it quietly.

Time flies, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Xi carefully pulled out each of the needles used for treatment on Xie Tianyi's head, cleaned and disinfected them one by one, and prepared to go to Master Fang's mansion in the town again.
