Chapter 259 Giving and begging
Wang Lin told Feng Yuheng: "It's the New Year, the owner of the small restaurant next to our Baicaotang is going back to his hometown. He said that he doesn't want to go back to the capital after the New Year. The young man wanted to ask his boss for advice to see if he could buy the restaurant and how can we change it into a medicinal food shop?"
Feng Yuheng's eyes lit up, "Wang Lin, your idea is really good."
"Did the boss agree?"
Feng Yuheng said: "It's okay to buy it, and the idea of opening a medicinal food shop is very good. But this shop cannot be opened just by saying it. You have to come up with some mature ideas."
Wang Lin said again: "I think so. Because people who come to Baicaotang for medical treatment and medicine often ask for some medicinal prescriptions, and some even take prescriptions prescribed by doctors next to them to get medicine. There are also many people who come and go. If we can open a medicinal meal shop by ourselves, right next to Baicaotang, wouldn't it be more convenient? Moreover, the medicinal meals we give are more secure, so everyone can feel at ease when eating them. In addition, the original chefs and friends can also stay, everything is ready-made."
Feng Yuheng thought for a while and said, "I have seen that restaurant too. The place is not big, but it is enough to make medicinal food. I suggest only making porridge, not doing anything else, not too much every day, only open for half a day. Also, you have to consider those ladies and ladies who want to nourish their bodies but are not convenient to come out for dinner. Such people have a lot of money and cherish their lives."
Huang Quan was so happy, "Miss, you are also considered the daughter of the official family."
Feng Yuheng curled his lips, "I can come out, can they? Wang Lin, I think otherwise, you can mix medicinal food with raw ingredients and sell it in portions, so that the ladies and ladies can buy it back and cook porridge themselves. A small packet is a meal, which is convenient to eat."
Wang Lin nodded repeatedly, "To be honest, the shopkeeper of the restaurant told Xiao Er privately, hoping that we can buy the shop so that he can save him any effort to talk to the people next to him."
"Okay, you go and do it. I still said that you have to pay more attention to cultivating people, just like the last time Baicaotang opened in Xiaozhou. Maybe when will you open another place, I will ask you for people anytime and anywhere."
Wang Lin said: "Don't worry, I have some people under my command. Not to mention the shopkeeper, I can even draw a friend."
Feng Yuheng was very satisfied with Wang Lin. This person was not only loyal, but also had enough brains. He thought about Baicaotang, which saved her a lot of thought.
She was in Baicaotang for half a day and left until noon. The two of them found a restaurant and prepared to eat something outside. As soon as the waiter's meal was brought up, they saw a five or six-year-old child squatting at the door, staring at their two chicken legs on the table and swallowing saliva.
Feng Yuheng was most disgraceful. He asked the shopkeeper for a piece of oil paper, wrapped a chicken leg and handed it to Huang Quan: "Take it to that child for food."
Huang Quan nodded, thought for a while, then poured the rice in his bowl on the greased paper, and sent it to the child together.
But the child didn't eat it, so he just wrapped the paper and put it in his arms, and began to squat on the spot and look at another table.
Unfortunately, no kind-hearted person is willing to give her things, and the child's eyes are filled with disappointment.
Feng Yuheng said to Huang Quan: "Guess, why doesn't the child eat it himself and wants to put it away?"
Huang Quan thought for a while and said, "It should be left to others. Maybe her family is on the street like her. She wants to ask for more food to take back and eat together."
"But she is not a beggar." Feng Yuheng pointed to the child and said, "Although she was worn out, she was just torn and old, not dirty. Look at the clothes, the color is indeed fading, but it has obviously been washed many times. Think about the faces and hair of those beggars on the street, and then look at the faces and hair of this girl, where is the dirty?"
Huang Quan then noticed these details, and thought about it again, "Miss is right. If it were a dirty and smelly beggar, the waiter would have gone to drive people away. How could she have been able to squat at the door for so long?"
Feng Yuheng waved his hand and called the waiter over and said to her: "Get five more chicken legs, and add a few more plates of your delicious dishes."
The waiter was stunned, "Can you eat so much?"
Huang Quan slapped the table - "If you ask you to go, you will go. If you can't finish eating, we will pack it and take it away! We think the food in your store is delicious, so we can order more."
The waiter quickly laughed, thanking them for their love of food in the restaurant, while busy going to the kitchen.
Then Huang Quan shouted again: "Get me another bowl of rice!"
"Good!"
Feng Yuheng instructed Huang Quan: "Get chicken legs first, let's eat it soon. After finishing the meal, go with me to a place."
The waiter quickly brought Huangquan's rice and the two of them started to eat. After the newly cooked dishes were served, they all finished eating.
Huang Quan directly ordered the waiter to pack it, and Feng Yuheng ordered a lot of rice to be served together.
The waiter was confused. When did the dishes in their store be so popular? Seeing that handsome young man liked the rice very much, he put it in a whole pot.
Feng Yuheng saw his doubts and was too lazy to explain. He threw a whole silver ingot and successfully blocked the waiter's mouth.
The two went out and took the packed meals to the carriage until the carriage had crossed a street. Feng Yuheng then asked the driver to stop and said to Huang Quan: "Go back and bring that little girl to the carriage."
Huang Quan knew her feelings, so he got out of the car and walked back quickly.
In a short while, the poor child who was squatting at the entrance of the restaurant was taken to the carriage.
The little girl was a little scared. She looked at Feng Yuheng and Huang Quan and didn't know what to say. After thinking about it, she knelt down and kowtowed to them, and then said timidly: "Thank you for your two benefactors' chicken legs and rice." As she said that, her nose sucked, and the fragrance of the food in the carriage came, so greedy that the little girl almost didn't leak out the water.
Huang Quan smiled and touched her head, "What's your name?"
The little girl replied: "My name is Shui Ling."
"Shui Ling." Feng Yuheng turned his head and asked her: "Do you squat at the door of the restaurant every day waiting for someone to give you food?"
Shui Ling nodded: "Yes."
Huang Quan didn't understand, "Why don't you take the initiative to ask someone for it?"
Shui Ling said: "Then I will become a beggar, but Shui Ling doesn't want to be a beggar."
"Why?" Feng Yuheng was also a little surprised, "What's the difference between waiting for someone to take the initiative to give it to me like this and asking for it yourself?"
Shui Ling also said: "There is a difference. If someone takes the initiative to give it, it will not be considered what I want, and it will not be considered beggars. On this street, beggars are also controlled by someone. They cannot eat what they want, and they cannot be taken to other people. They must be given a unified place and handed over to the people above to distribute it."
Feng Yuheng understood, this is a beggar gang.
"Who are you going to bring your stuff back to?" she asked again.
"Give it to many people." Shui Ling lowered her head and said even more: "There are many parents-free children in the places where we live, and two sisters are taking care of us. Someone used to give food, but later we stopped giving it. We were hungry, so we came out and waited for others to give it to us."
Feng Yuheng's mind moved, and this seemed to be the result she wanted. So she said to the child: "Take me to your place to live, and the food I packed is for you."
"Really?" Shui Ling opened her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe it.
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Really, I'll tell the driver the address, let's go now."
If you guess correctly, the place where this child is located should be an existence similar to an orphanage. Feng Yuheng also had a sudden idea when eating in a restaurant. If she could help a orphanage, she could cultivate these children. She needed manpower to practice medicine and intelligence networks. In such an era when information and transportation is underdeveloped, people are really important.
The carriage lasted for half an hour and finally stopped in front of a courtyard in the north of the city.
This courtyard is neither new nor old, it is very large, and it should be left over from a wealthy family.
Shui Ling held Huang Quan's hand and said, "It's this place, brothers and sisters, please come in quickly."
Feng Yuheng was wearing men's clothes, so naturally she was called brother. She didn't explain and followed Shui Ling into the yard. The coachman behind her was also busy carrying all the food in the carriage and sent it in two trips.
When Feng Yuheng entered, there were a few children about the same age as Shui Ling in the yard washing clothes in a basin of water. Two older girls were putting them on the high ropes one by one.
The two girls looked only fifteen or sixteen years old. They were not pretty, but they were also worthy of being delicate. Their dresses were faded and washed cleanly.
It is cold in winter, and the children who wash clothes are cold so that their hands are red. They will stop and rub them after washing for a while. Some even have frostbite, but they endure the pain and continue to stretch into the water.
When Shui Ling came back, the children in the yard looked at her with hope, and then they found a young man and lady following her, and couldn't help but be stunned.
The girl who was drying clothes felt that the atmosphere seemed to be abnormal, so she quickly walked around to the front to look at it. After seeing it, she was a little surprised and asked in a daze: "Do you two come here, are there anything wrong?"
Feng Yuheng smiled and took the initiative to step forward, "This girl, polite." She bowed her hand and looked like a handsome young man, which made the girl quickly lean over and give up the tribute. Then she said again, "When we were having dinner in the restaurant, we met Shui Ling. After hearing her tell you about your situation, we packed some food and came back. I don't know how many people you have here and whether it's enough to eat."
When the children heard that there was food, their eyes lit up, and people ran out from all directions of the yard one after another. Feng Yuheng looked at it and found that there were at least nearly thirty people.
"It seems that it's not enough." She smiled bitterly, took out two ingots of silver from her cuffs and handed it to the coachman. "You go find a nearby restaurant and let them cook some food to deliver here. Just do it according to the portions of these children. It's better if you can bring out a meal at night."
The coachman nodded, said nothing, and hurried away.
Shui Ling jumped happily and pulled two long-time girls to introduce to her: "This is Sister Fusang, this is Sister Tiandong. We rely on our two sisters to take care of this..." She wanted to introduce Feng Yuheng to Fusang and Tiandong, but found that she had no idea who Feng Yuheng was.
Huang Quan took the initiative to speak, "This is my young master and the doctor in Baicaotang Le Wuyou. I am her maid, my name is Huang Quan."
Feng Yuheng was very satisfied with this introduction.
Baicaotang is so famous. When Fusang and Tiandong heard that they were doctors in Baicaotang, they became happy and saluted Feng Yuheng repeatedly. They heard Fusang say, "I have long been obsessed with the name of Wuyou, it is our blessing to be here today. I spent money to prepare meals for the children. This is really..."
"It's so great!" Some children shouted and stepped forward to surround Feng Yuheng.
But before Feng Yuheng could say a few words to the children, he saw the coachman who had just left to buy food coming back and said with a worrying expression: "Master, a team of officers and soldiers came outside!"
