94 Everyone Wants To See a Doctor
Xia Wan’s clothes had been all sold out since the morning, but there were still many people standing around wearing pitiful looks on their faces.
“Why are the clothes sold out? I’m still waiting to gave my pulse taken. Young woman, if you don’t want to sell clothes, can you take our pulse?”
“Yeah, I want you to take a look too. How about this? I’ll pay you for it.”
The onlookers could tell that this girl’s medical skills were not to be trifled with. She could even detect some hidden diseases. Even if they were not sick now, they could detect the problems in advance and be prepared, an extremely advantageous prospect.
Xia Wan didn’t expect the people around her to be so enthusiastic, but it was a waste of time to treat these people for free.
She thought for a while and said, “How about this? I can screen you once, but it will cost two yuan per reading. Of course, if you don’t want to spend, you can come back the next time I set up my stall. If you buy clothes, taking your pulse will be free. I’ll still be here the next time I set up, but I’m not sure when exactly it will be. I’ll be as soon as possible.”
“Sure, sure. Money is not a problem. Quick, give me the reading.”
Xia Wan thought that the two yuan fee would make many people leave, but she didn’t expect that after she said that, more people would clamor for her examination.
Even Xia Chen was stunned. When Xia Wan finished taking everyone’s pulse, two hours had passed.
Finally, the crowd in front of the stall had dispersed. Xia Wan felt exhausted. She looked at Xia Chen and Xia Feng, equally tired, and smiled. “Let’s go. I’ll take you for a big meal! We made money today, so you can order whatever you want!”
Xia Chen wiped the sweat off his body. Because of the hot weather and the busy morning, he was drenched in sweat. However, his smile was bright. Although it was hot and demanding, they had earned a handsome amount, a sum more than what his parents could earn after working for a few months.
Even Xia Chen, who had always been calm, became a little excited. “Let’s go and eat! We want meat today!”
Xia Wan also laughed. In the past, when she said she would take Xia Chen to eat meat, Xia Chen would always be very resistant because he was afraid of spending money. But today, after seeing how much money he had made, Xia Chen could finally eat meat in peace.
Xia Wan took the things and went to the previous store. The boss, Zhao Jin, looked at her with a smile. “I saw everything. Today’s business is very good.”
Xia Wan also smiled and nodded. “It’s all thanks to you, Uncle Zhao.”
Zhao Jin waved his hand. “You’re not the blessed one. I’m the one who’s blessed. There were a lot of people buying clothes here today. I did as you said and set up a tea stall, and I made a few dozen yuan this morning. You’re one capable girl; I’ll give you that. From now on, I will help you look after your stall. No one will dare to make things difficult for you. If you have anything for safekeeping, feel free to leave it here.
“Don’t worry. I don’t lack money. He won’t touch your stuff,” Zhao Jin added, as if afraid that Xia Wan would be worried.
Xia Wan understood what he meant. In the future, if she restocked any goods, she could put them all in Zhao Jin’s hands.
To be honest, it was indeed convenient to put the clothes with Uncle Zhao. Not only was it closer, but his storage space was also larger. However, the owners had their own businesses to run too, and it wouldn’t be nice if she kept troubling them. However, it was different with Uncle Zhao. She and Uncle Zhao now shared the same interests. If her business did well, it meant he would see the benefit as well.
After thinking about it, Xia Wan nodded. “Okay, Uncle Zhao, since you’ve mentioned it, I’ll leave my things with you from now on.
Uncle Zhao smiled and nodded. “That’s right. You can just bring in whatever you want. Uncle Zhao can fit all of them. You don’t have to worry about the shelves. I have all kinds.”
With Zhao Jin’s promise, Xia Wan was more at ease. After leaving her stock with Zhao Jin, she took Xia Chen and Xia Feng to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
Perhaps because it was past mealtime that the restaurant was sparsely occupied. When Xia Wan and the other two sat down, there were only three tables in the hall.
Even though the three were covered in sweat and looked a little disheveled, the boss did not say anything. He smiled and came over to ask them what they wanted.
