Chapter 69
Qi Huan tossed and turned, considering whether or not to open a medicinal diet restaurant.
But she quickly rejected the idea.
The herbs and ingredients in medicinal cuisine were not cheap, and with the additional costs of a shop and labor, many impoverished women could not afford to consume them regularly.
Eating them occasionally would not yield ideal results.
She began to contemplate other methods.
After much thought, selling medicine still seemed the most reliable approach.
"System, reorder ten boxes of menstrual pain relief medicine."
"Understood, host."
Whooshβ
Ten identical delivery boxes dropped, filled with Lesser Abdomen Blood-Moving Pills, Mugwort Warming the Palace Pills, and Fenugreek Seeds.
Qi Huan repackaged them into purchased mulberry paper bags, then transcribed the instructions for each medicine, including ingredients, dosage, effects, and so on.
Once completed, it was already the next day.
The following noon, after finishing her lunch, Qi Huan took out the newly bought basket and filled it with the repackaged menstrual pain relief medicines. As she was about to hoist the basket, Li Shuchen naturally took it from her.
When they arrived at Sun's Medical Hall, Sun Doctor was slurping up his noodles, winding them around his chopsticks before putting them in his mouth, a habit he had since childhood that had not changed over the years.
Seeing this, Qi Huan couldn't help but smile. She had stopped doing such things by the age of eight. Sun Doctor truly had a childlike heart.
Hearing her laughter, Sun Doctor quickly put down his chopsticks and cheerfully said, "Little Qi is here. Have you eaten?"
Qi Huan nodded, then said, "You finish your meal first, we can talk later."
With that, she pulled Li Shuchen by the sleeve and walked past the door, pretending to watch the passersby on the street to avoid embarrassing Sun Doctor.
Sun Doctor glanced at the basket on Li Shuchen's shoulder, then at the noodles in his hand, and quickly started eating again. He wound and ate at lightning speed.
After finishing, he gulped down the bone broth in one go, feeling refreshed!
"Little Qi, I'm sorry for the wait. There were quite a few patients this noon, and my assistant took a day off, so I didn't have time to eat. Luckily, I saw one of the delivery girls from the noodle shop pass by and ordered a bowl, which is how I managed to eat."
After explaining, he finally circled back to the topic he was most interested in, pointing at the basket on Li Shuchen's shoulder and asking, "What good things have you brought, Little Qi?"
Qi Huan handed him three instruction sheets and succinctly replied, "Menstrual pain relief medicine."
"......" Sun Doctor fell silent. Did he look like an expert in gynecology?
Regarding menstrual matters, doctors in the entire Muo County did not study much in this area.
Firstly, not many women came to seek treatment for such issues. Secondly, medical resources in Muo County were scarce, and most of their medical knowledge was passed down generation to generation, focusing primarily on common ailments like wind-cold and external injuries.
After carefully examining the instruction sheets, Sun Doctor praised profusely, "Dr. Qi truly has exceptional medical skills and vast knowledge, well-versed in all aspects. The women of Muo County are blessed!"
After thanking him for the compliment to her late father, Qi Huan reciprocated the flattery for Sun Doctor, "You're not too bad yourself, with a discerning eye for good remedies."
"......" Sun Doctor's smile froze for a moment. So his strength was just having good eyesight?
After a brief pause, he laughed heartily again. Indeed, his keen eye was what allowed him to recognize Qi Huan's remedies and establish a partnership with her.
Thanks to the medicines she sold him, Sun's Medical Hall gained great renown in Muo County. Not only did he earn more money, but he also helped many patients.
The more Sun Doctor thought about it, the happier he became, nodding in agreement with a broad smile, "You're right, Little Qi!"
Seeing his good mood, Qi Huan quickly stated her plan, "Uncle Sun, why don't we lower the price a bit, say twenty cents per package, so more women can afford the medicine and improve their health without suffering from menstrual pain anymore?"
As a kindhearted doctor, Sun Doctor readily agreed after a brief consideration.
"No problem... Money can always be earned, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is also good."
Qi Huan nodded in deep agreement.
The more good deeds one does, the more rewards one receives. Perhaps by doing enough good deeds, one could transmigrate after death like she did, and be bound to a system like the Daily Good Deed System.
Sensing her thoughts, the system hurried to correct her, "The host is too naive. The number of systems developed by the System Management Bureau is limited, and one needs extraordinary luck to be selected."
"Like me?"
"....... Yes, the host's luck is through the roof." π£πππππ’ππ«π¬πππ©.πππͺ
Qi Huan smiled radiantly, but said, "Luck is one factor, but doing good deeds is a basic condition. I believe good deeds will be rewarded in kind."
In any case, she would try her best to help those deserving of help within her means. This would benefit both others and herself.
Sure enough, as the menstrual pain relief medicines became a hit, she earned a lot of money and gained quite a few points.
Lying in bed, Qi Huan heard the system repeatedly announce "Good Deed +1, Points +1" and happily rolled from the edge of the bed to the center, then back to the edge.
"System, check my balance!"
"Understood, host. Your current balance is 8888."
"Exchange it all! Let a pile of delivery boxes come crashing down on me!"
System: "......"
The host's requests were truly unique.
However, it was willing to indulge her. After adjusting the program, it aimed directly at her little head and released the first delivery box.
Struck by the delivery bag, Qi Huan froze for a second, rubbed her head, and quickly dodged. Fortunately, she was fast, as the next three delivery boxes were slightly larger.
"System!"
"Yes!"
"Can you aim the deliveries more accurately?"
The system asked in confusion, "Didn't I aim at you?"
"...You were too accurate, hitting me right in the head."
"But didn't the host request 'letting a pile of deliveries crash down on you'? However, the host's points are a bit low, so there are only four deliveries this time, not quite a 'pile'..."
"......" Qi Huan made a mental note to be more careful when speaking to the clueless system, as it would only interpret her words literally.
Thankfully, the first delivery box was light, and she wasn't in much pain.
Qi Huan didn't have the habit of opening deliveries on the bed. After coming to her senses, she quickly tossed them onto the floor.
Then, she put on her shoes, squatted beside the boxes, and used her Swiss Army knife to slice them open one by one.
The lightest delivery bag contained a yellow gingham picnic mat, along with some decorations like balloons.
With curiosity, she opened the second box, which contained a set of batteries, from size AA to D, covering all bases.
Next was the largest delivery box, containing two tents, four sleeping bags, and four folding chairs.
The first three items weren't very valuable, so the last one must be something precious, right?
In a few quick motions, she flipped open the top cardboard layer to reveal a brand-new smartphone.
An immense sense of joy washed over her like a surging tidal wave, and Qi Huan was completely immersed in the ocean of bliss.
Many modern people could relate: without a phone, one feels incomplete; with a phone in hand, the world belongs to you.
