Chapter 167 Doctor Yang
"Well, if we find a suitable place by then, we can build a cloth workshop and a dyeing workshop, and the surrounding counties can also directly adopt the franchise model, then our mission on this trip will be almost complete."
"Yes, that's what my second brother said."
Tian Xing'er and others informed several franchisees of their temporary departure, and they were kind enough to give them some suggestions. However, if they had not left some people here to help these bosses with store decoration, training and other matters, they would have worried that the other party might run away.
But some people were still worried, so Jiang Dafu said, "Boss Tian, if you want to find some grain-producing areas, I can lead you there. I also have some acquaintances who can be your referrals. How about that?"
"Really? That's great. Thank you, Boss Jiang. We will set off in a few days. Is your time convenient for you?" Tian Xing'er was so happy to see that someone was willing to be a guide that she agreed directly without caring whether it was a courtesy or not.
"It's convenient. Just let me know before you leave. I'm available anytime."
"Then it's agreed."
Regardless of whether Jiang Dafu was kind-hearted or just worried about them, Tian Xing'er felt that it was good to have someone act as a guide for free.
When Lei Yu heard that Tian Xing'er and the others wanted to see the farm, he wanted to go along as well, thinking that this would be a good opportunity to introduce them to the uncle who bought their farm. However, Tian Yuheng and the others didn't feel comfortable letting him go along, as their trip would take quite some time.
But they still had to go to Zhuangzi, so Tian Yuheng took the time to go with Lei Yu to meet his uncle. After all, Zhuangzi used to belong to Lei Yu's family, and the output here was just enough for their grain shop's monthly purchase volume, so they didn't have to look for anyone else. So Tian Yuheng quickly signed a contract with the other party, and the other party also gave him the preferential price they had given to Lei Yu before.
"I'm afraid this journey won't be easy. The next county town is still some distance away, so you'd better be prepared." Jiang Dafu looked at the brother and sister Tian Xing'er, one of whom looked younger and the other a scholar, and they didn't seem like they could endure hardships.
However, he forgot that they were the owners of Fangtian Cloth Shop. Without the ability to endure hardships, how could they have built such a big business today?
"Okay, thank you Uncle Jiang." Tian Yuheng and the others did not mind the other party looking down on their young age.
They made a rough plan for this route and planned to go to the nearest county first. The surrounding counties were not as wealthy as An County, and some were even poor without any big merchants. Tian Xing'er and his sister planned to go directly to the village and sign a contract with the villagers. They would directly purchase grain and hemp.
If you buy the land yourself, it will be too troublesome and time-consuming to manage it, and finding someone to manage it will be even more tiring.
Their first stop was in Anle County, where Jiang Dafu knew several cloth shop owners. The cloth here was produced by small dyeing workshops in his own county and the price was not too expensive, but the material and workmanship were a bit rough, after all, it was a small workshop.
"Everyone, when we get to Anle County, why don't we take a look at the grain stores I mentioned? Their output is not too high, but the price is not expensive either. If you want to open a grain store in the future, you can consider buying up these stores and setting up branches." Jiang Dafu followed Tian Xing'er and the others all the way, and he knew that they might want to set up a grain store and were also preparing to open branches in various places.
I gave them some suggestions. There was no big grain store here anyway, and if they came, other small grain stores would probably have trouble doing business, so it would be better to just take them over.
"Well, you can go and have a look."
"Okay, then I'll go ahead and lead the way for you." Jiang Dafu had also inquired a lot about Tian Xing'er and the others along the way. He knew that they were doing big business, and he was still following them. If his Fangtian Cloth Shop became successful, he would apply to open franchise stores in several more counties.
He had come along this time with this intention in mind, and now he was even more enthusiastic.
After settling down in the inn, Tian Xing'er and his friends went straight to the grain store that Jiang Dafu mentioned. As soon as they arrived at the door of the store, they saw a man who looked to be in his early 30s being driven out by the waiter.
"Doctor Yang, our store is small, so we can't give you credit. You should find another place!"
"Brother Xiaoer, please be so angry. My family will starve to death if they don't have food to eat." Doctor Yang pleaded while standing outside the store.
"Doctor Yang, are you okay?" Tian Yuheng and others came over and helped Doctor Yang up from the ground.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, thank you very much.
Doctor Yang saw the people who helped him. Although they were dressed modestly, a closer look revealed that the fabrics of their clothes were good, at least better than those of ordinary people.
He frowned, thought for a while and finally said, "Can you lend me some money to buy food? I will definitely pay you back when I have money."
Doctor Yang was panicking at this time, not knowing what to do. He knew that no one would lend him money if he asked casually, but he needed money and he had to fight for every hope. "Please, my child has been sick for many days and has just gotten better. He needs to eat some food, otherwise he might get worse again. I have no choice."
Tian Xing'er gave a look and Baozhu went to get a purse, took out five taels and stuffed them into Doctor Yang's hand.
Doctor Yang looked at the money in his hand and was unable to react for a moment. When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but shed tears and said with a sob, "I, Yang, will definitely repay you for your kindness."
This amount of money is not a small sum for ordinary people, but at the moment, he really has no other choice. Looking at the heavy five taels of silver in his hand, Doctor Yang's heart was full of gratitude and guilt.
Tian Xing'er smiled slightly and said softly, "Doctor Yang, you don't have to be so polite. This money is nothing to us. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. As long as you can cure your son's illness, it will be the greatest reward for us. As for the repayment, you can talk about it when you are able to do so in the future."
Baozhu also echoed, "Yes, Doctor Yang, you can just use the money to buy some delicious food for the child and then treat the illness. Our young lady has always been kind-hearted and can't bear to see others suffer."
Doctor Yang was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes after hearing this. He nodded and thanked them repeatedly, saying that he would remember this kindness. Then, he could not help asking, "May I ask the young lady and the young master's names? Where is your home? When I have more money in the future, I will definitely visit you and return the money in person."
Tian Xing'er waved her hand and said calmly, "It's just a trivial matter. If Doctor Yang really wants to thank me, he should treat more patients like your son. As for our names and addresses, there's no need to tell us."
Doctor Yang saw that Tian Xing'er was determined not to reveal her identity, so he could not ask any more questions. He could only bow to them again to express his gratitude and promise to work hard to make money to repay the debt. Then, Doctor Yang took the five taels of silver to the grain shop to buy grain. After a while, he came out with a small bag of grain, thanked Xing'er and others, and left.
Tian Xing'er looked at Doctor Yang who was leaving and felt a little curious. She didn't know how a doctor like him could end up like this. Most doctors wouldn't be so poor. Even if he couldn't treat patients in the county, he could just go to a small village to treat patients.
