Chapter 40

She had seen countless people, so how could she not understand what he was thinking? However, she did not argue with a junior. “I’ll go write a prescription immediately. They’ll be fine after taking it for a day.”

Fang Zerong was surprised and happy. Unknowingly, he was less suspicious of Chu Qingzhi. “A day?”

Chu Qingzhi said confidently, “I can cure your general in half a month. A heat stroke is nothing.”

Fang Zerong nodded. “Yes, yes, yes. I’ll do it immediately.”

Chu Qingzhi walked towards Tang Jinghong. “I need a pen and paper.”

Seeing that nothing happened, Tang Jinghong heaved a sigh of relief. “Follow me.”

Tang Jinghong’s tent was very simple. There were not many things, only some necessities. There was a bed, a table, a cabinet, and a spear by the wall. The blade of the spear was sharp and emitted a cold light. It must be cleaned often.

Chu Qingzhi glanced around briefly before sitting behind the table and writing down the prescription. “Hurry up and get the medicine. Make it for the soldiers.”

She then wrote down another prescription. “This can prevent heatstroke. The weather has been too hot recently. Try not to walk under the sun.”

Tang Jinghong took the prescription and made a mental note of what Chu Qingzhi said. “Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?”

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment and said, “After being exposed to the sun, don’t wash with cold water. You’ll fall sick easily…”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “I understand.”

Chu Qingzhi put the pen back and stood up. “Alright, there’s nothing else for me to do. I have to rush back to draw clothes.”

Tang Jinghong was worried. “I’ll send you back.”

Chu Qingzhi said, “No need. Hurry up and get the medicine for the soldiers. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Tang Jinghong insisted, “I’ll send you back. It’s not far anyway.”

“I’m not a weak woman…” Chu Qingzhi thought to herself. She looked at Tang Jinghong and couldn’t bring herself to decline his goodwill. “Let’s go then.”

After returning to the mountain, Tang Jinghong took out a banknote worth 100 taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Chu Qingzhi. “The consultation fee.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and took the banknote. “Nice working with you.”

Tang Jinghong said gratefully, “Thank you for your help.”

Chu Qingzhi patted the banknote in her palm. “If you give me money, it’s business. You don’t have to thank me.”

Tang Jinghong sent Chu Qingzhi back. As soon as he returned to the army camp, Fang Zerong walked over. “General, where’s Miss Chu?”

Tang Jinghong said, “She went back. Why are you looking for her?”

Fang Zerong asked suspiciously, “General, tell me, is she really the Divine Doctor who wrote the prescription for you?”

If he did not get to the bottom of this, he would not be able to sleep well.

Tang Jinghong glanced at Fang Zerong and walked towards the tent. “Don’t you already have an answer in your heart?”

Fang Zerong thought that if the Divine Doctor was an old master, he would beg him to take him in as his disciple, but now that the Divine Doctor was a little girl, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

He followed Tang Jinghong. “General, I…”

Tang Jinghong interrupted him. “Have you given medicine to those sick soldiers?”

At the mention of this, Fang Zerong became serious. “They all drank it. We’ll see the effect in two hours. If their fever is gone, it means that the prescription is effective.”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “Keep an eye on them and take care of them.”

Fang Zerong cupped his fists. “Yes, General.”

Tang Jinghong sat at the desk and wrote a copy of the prescriptions before putting it in an envelope.

Two hours later, Fang Zerong reported, “General, the soldiers’ fever has subsided.”

Tang Jinghong nodded. “Good. Qingzhi said that they will recover in a day.”

Fang Zerong now basically believed Chu Qingzhi. He replied seriously, “General, I understand.”

Tang Jinghong handed the envelope to his trusted aide. “Send it to the palace at full speed.”

The trusted aide took the envelope and placed it in his pocket. Then, he cupped his fists. “Yes, General.”

Chu Tai went to look for the village chief early in the morning and conveyed Chu Qingzhi’s message to him.

The village chief immediately smiled and praised Chu Qingzhi for being a good person.

The village chief said gratefully, “Chu Tai, if your family can help us get rich, everyone will be grateful to you.”

Chu Tai waved his hand. “As fellow villagers, we naturally have to help each other.”

The village chief smiled. “Alright, I’ll inform the villagers immediately and get them to prepare.”

Chu Tai replied, “Sure.”

Soon, the village chief brought all the people in their twenties and thirties to Chu Qingzhi’s house.

Zhou Qingzhong stood at the door of his house and looked at everyone enviously. If his family did not have a conflict with Chu Qingzhi, would he be able to work?

Chu Qingzhi had just fed the horse when she walked out of the door and saw a group of people.

She walked up to everyone and cleared her throat. “Everyone, listen to me. We have almost a thousand people here, but I only want a few dozen. For the sake of fairness, there can only be one member from every family. Do you understand what I mean?”

No one moved. No one was willing to give up on this chance.

“If you can’t decide who should stay and who should go back, you can draw lots.”

Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, everyone drew lots.

After the selection, the number of people immediately decreased to 500.

The army would need 5,000 ice cream bars a day. There were a million people in the three counties nearby, and they could consume at least 100,000 ice cream bars a day. However, Chu Qingzhi did not plan to do so big. She just wanted to sell 10,000 ice cream bars per county every day.

Therefore, she had to make 35,000 ice cream bars every day.

She calculated that it was most suitable for a hundred people to make so many ice cream bars.

Another 400 people had to be weeded out.

Chu Qingzhi thought for a moment and decided to let those whose family burden was heavy stay. “Those who have at least two elders and four children at home, please stand on the left.”

Everyone looked at each other and quickly took sides.
