Chapter 969: The Herbal Medicine Workshop Begins Operation [2]

"Hello, old generals. I am from Peng Shuping's family in Hutou Town of this county. My mother is Peng Su. She is a female worker in the medicine workshop and lives in the house over there..." Although Peng Jianxin is only six years old, he explained his family situation clearly.

After hearing this, the old soldier and his family lowered their guard and felt close to him: "So he is the child of a female worker."

"The Qin family is truly kindhearted. Seeing how difficult it is for female workers to raise children, they allow them to bring their children to work and even provide them with a place to live. It's truly..."

The old soldier didn’t know what to say. In short, how could a person have such a kind heart?

However, the families of General Jing, General Lou, and the families of Generals Song, Xia, Ji, and Lin all said, "The Qin family is kind-hearted, and we should repay them by working diligently. We can't just eat our fill and then look down on the pot. We can't be workers and still dream of becoming doctors or female doctors."

"What is medical skill? It's a secret skill that can't be learned by outsiders like us."

The child was very cute, but the old military officer and the others felt that the child was a little conceited and even suspected that he wanted to steal the Qin family's medical skills.

Peng Jianxin frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and said, "No, that's not the case."

"What's wrong? You little kid, do you really want to steal the Qin family's medical skills? That's not possible. It's something against your conscience." Old General Lin was anxious and wanted to correct his thoughts and put him back on the right path.

Old General Lin has a large family, and the reason why his family can't make ends meet is because he is too rigid.

He had been upright all his life, but he had also suffered losses all his life, which resulted in the family's income getting worse year by year, to the point where he could no longer make ends meet.

His children and grandchildren then begged him to bring the pieces of armor to the Qin family to seek refuge and make a living.

"I don't want to steal your skills, but being a doctor or a female doctor is better than being a worker." Peng Jianxin was young and didn't know how to say it, but he knew in his heart that Qin Dongjia didn't like his workers to just be workers.

Old General Lin: "Being a master is better than being a doctor or a female doctor. You are too proud, little kid. We country people should live an honest and law-abiding life."

"Little Brother Peng is right!" Jiang Xiaozhu came over with Yao Baimei and Xu Fubao and said, "Sister Xiaomi said that people shouldn't just earn money from one job their whole lives. They have to learn to be the boss. Only after becoming the boss can they recruit workers and provide food for more people."

"You can be a doctor or a female doctor. As for medical skills, it was mentioned when we signed the contract with Wu Ze Pharmacy. Every year, the herbal medicine shop will send a group of apprentices to the provincial capital to learn medicine from the doctors."

Jiang Xiaozhu pointed at Peng Jianxin and said, "So what little brother Peng said is right. Being a worker is just the first step. Once this step is stable, workers can take the second step, the third step, and learn to be doctors, female doctors, managers, bosses, or even if you want to take the imperial examination and become an official."

"As long as you have the knowledge and can pass the exam, the herbal medicine shop will give you silver to take the exam!"

The old soldier and his family were shocked: "Send, send money to take the exam? But really?!"

"Really?" Xu Fubao nodded and said, "Sister Xiaomi is very generous. She also said that we won't lose money by doing this."

This, this, this?

"The Qin family is so kind. We risked our lives for this one, and it was a great win." Mrs. Du was so moved that she burst into tears. Looking at her grandson, who was about the same age as Peng Jianxin, she said, "Tian Yu, we have a great boss. If you have the opportunity to learn something, no matter what it is, you must study hard and practice calligraphy at night."

Du Tianyu, who was also six years old, said: "Well, I will definitely study hard and use the skills I learn to make more money and support more people in the future."

Mrs. Du was stunned, and she hugged her grandson and cried with joy: "My dear grandson, you can finally speak fluently again."

Her family was also a military household in Tianmang Prefecture. Because all her sons and grandsons who served in the army had died, her family received preferential treatment and was able to move.

She moved here with her grandson and took refuge with the Qin family.

The journey was long and the child was young, so he was confused and didn't say much along the way, only uttering two words.

Now that I've settled down, had a good meal and sleep, I'm finally back to normal.

Jiang Xiaozhu corrected Du Tianyu: "It's not about raising more people, it's about teaching more people skills. It's better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish... Giving people fish to eat will only feed them one meal. It's better to teach them to fish so they don't have to go hungry."

"I understand." Du Tianyu, Peng Jianxin, and the daughters of the Luo sisters all responded, feeling that they had learned something.

Seeing this, the other grandchildren of the old military master said even louder: "I understand!"

Qin Liupo was furious. "Jiang Xiaozhu, Xu Fubao, you two are running around again. Come back with me now. If you continue to run around and recruit younger brothers as the leader of the children, I will tell my fifth sister-in-law to lock you up at home. You will have to do nothing but read and write all day except eat, drink, defecate and urinate. Read until you are poisoned by those books!"

Fainted by book poison?

very scary!

Jiang Xiaozhu immediately became obedient: "Sixth Aunt, Sixth Aunt, we'll go back now. Don't complain, or we'll complain to you too. You stole the meat from the canteen of the Herbal Medicine Shop!"

Xu Fubao: "He also stole some candy. We found out!"

"Hey, you two little brats, you don't do your work all day long, but just wander around and investigate others. Do you really think you are the officials? If I don't beat you up today, I will take your surname!" Qin Liupo raised her hand and started to hit you.

Jiang Xiaozhu and Xu Fubao ran faster than rabbits. Not only did she fail to catch up with them, but she also kicked a stone and hurt her big toe. She didn't forget to shout at the two little guys: "I'll let you go today. I won't complain. You also have to forget about what happened in the cafeteria. Don't mention it again. Whoever mentions it will be poor for the rest of his life!"

"Deal!" Jiang Xiaozhu shouted.

Xu Fubao echoed: "I'm in on the deal too!"

However, the servants in the herbal medicine shop heard it, and none of the three of them escaped the punishment.

The old soldiers, workers, and even the Qin family's servants were all in high spirits upon seeing this... Look at how happy the Qin, Jiang, Xu, and Qiao families are living. It's a good idea to work for a boss like this.

Dangdang Dangdang!

"Old soldiers, come to the outer kitchen to get breakfast!" Xu Zhengmao came over and shouted while ringing the gong.

"Here they come!" The old soldiers started to discuss: "Oh, there's breakfast. Is the Qin family going to give us two meals a day?"

"We have to eat less and help with more work, otherwise the two meals a day will be wasted." Old General Lin warned his children and grandchildren.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't worry, Dad/Grandpa, we will eat less and work more." The Lin family said, went back to the house to get bowls, basins, and baskets, went to get breakfast, and had a delicious breakfast.

At 9:00 in the morning, the Qin family asked Qin Dashi and his wife, Yao Niangzi, Xiao Shacan, and Zhu Xuewei to come over for an interview and registration.

More than a hundred people spent quite some time, and by the time they came out of the herbal medicine shop, it was already noon.

"Go to the outer kitchen to get your lunch first. When the gong rings at the first quarter of the afternoon in the herbal medicine shop, come to this signing room to gather." Madam Yao instructed them.

The old general and his family were all stunned. They even had lunch? Did the Qin family have to feed them three meals a day?

"Oh my God, we can only eat three full meals a day when we go to the battlefield." General Lou sighed, and he couldn't bear to think that they would encounter such a good day.

Old General Lin felt very proud. "Who says that retired generals can only farm? What if they don't even know how to farm and can't even support their families? Look at our Captain Qin. He's been retired for so many years and even left his hometown to escape famine when he was the poorest. But now he has opened a large workshop at home, providing jobs for so many people!"
