The corners of Grand Master Sun’s mouth twitched a few times as he looked at the unevenly arranged pills, missing a bite and a piece as if they had been bitten by a dog.
But after all, he had been in business for so many years, and had long since developed the skill of not revealing his mind, and maintained the smile on his face, “I wonder if I could open one?”
“Yes.”
Song Wan Yue asked Xiao Si to go and ask for a bowl up for the mate, poured warm water in it and placed it in front of Grand Master Sun.
Grand Master Sun picked a 60% complete pill and broke it open, putting it into the water. After it melted, he stretched out his index finger and dipped a little into it, putting it in his mouth, squinting his eyes and savouring the herbs in the pill.
In fact, Master Sun told him that Sun Cai had done all of this, Sun Cai, as the House Doctor of the Sun Family, had to have been in the Sun House for many years, and his medical skills were trusted by Grand Master Sun.
But after all, he runs a medicine shop and cannot afford to make the slightest mistake.
After a good while, his eyes lit up for a moment, a flash, then he picked up the bowl and drank a little, still narrowing his eyes.
The room was silent as several people looked at him.
After a long time, Grand Master Sun nodded appreciatively, “This recipe is used extremely well.”
The herbs used were all ordinary herbs, the kind that country people would grab in a big bag for a few dozen wen, and the available ratios were different, so naturally the medicinal effects would be different.
He had been running a pharmacy for many years and was well versed in the prescriptions for some common diseases, but this was indeed the first time he had seen such a recipe, the dosage was extremely bold and the ratios were unexpected.
“I wonder how many of these pills you have in your hands, I’ll take them all.”
“We only brought twenty pills with us, they were meant for the family to use when they were sick on the road, but Master Sun bought them all, but we still have them at home. If you name a number, I’ll have someone go back and pick them up quickly, and I’ll be back in five or six days.”
“You still have many of these pills at home?”
Song Wangyue nodded her head.
Grand Master Sun pondered for a moment, “First, give me five hundred pills, the price will be eight coins of silver a piece, what does the girl think?”
Song Wangyue nodded her head readily, “Yes.”
In his heart, Grand Master Sun nodded his head in appreciation, the young girl was not old, but her mind was very thorough, I think it would be smooth to deal with her again in the future.
“I have one more request.”
“Please go ahead.”
Grand Master Sun stroked his not-so-long beard, “The girl’s pills can only be sold to me in this capital city in the future.”
This request seemed to be unexpected for Song Wangyue, and she froze for a moment.
She froze for a moment, and while Elder Sun’s heart lifted, his face remained unmoving as he stroked his beard.
“Big brother?”
Song Wan Yue asked Song Si.
Five hundred pellets was four hundred taels of silver, and Song Si was so immersed in this great joy that he almost didn’t react.
He tried to hold his composure, his face calm, and did not answer immediately, “This, we need to think about it.”
As soon as he said this, Song Wangyue gave him a compliment in her heart, big brother is big brother, he cooperated too well.
“Mr. Song, Miss Song ……”
Elder Sun tried to help intercede, “My cousin owns a medicine shop that is well known in this capital city, I don’t know how many medicinal herbs are sold every year, the sales of this pill will definitely be less.”
If only his cousin was the only one selling pills, the price would naturally be up to him, whether it was three taels or five. But if other families also sell them, the price will not go up and the fame will not be there either.
“This ……”
Song Si, despite his heart’s thousand and one agreement, was still very hesitant on the surface, knowing that Yue’er did not want to agree so easily.
Seeing both of them hesitate, the smile on Grand Master Sun’s face could not be maintained somewhat. If it weren’t for supplying only their family, the price of eight coins of silver would be high.
Grand Master Sun secretly gave him a hand gesture, signalling him to mention the great tonic pill.
Grand Master Sun shook his head slightly, if this pill could not be negotiated, the Great Tonic Pill would not have gone well either.
Elder Sun immediately understood what he meant and immediately interrupted the silence in the room with a smile, “Sir Song, Miss Song, not only the pill for wind chill, even if it’s another pill, my elder brother also wants it, we are doing a long and lasting business.”
“I know Master Sun is right, but this is a big deal after all. In this way, how about we discuss it properly and give you the letter later?”
“Yes.”
Master Sun got up with a smile, “It just so happens that we haven’t seen each other for many days, so let’s take this opportunity to have a good talk.”
Grand Master Sun also got up, a smile on his face, “Then I will wait for your reply.”
Song Si and Song Wan Yue got up and escorted them out. As they were leaving, Grand Master Sun turned back without a trace and saw that Gu Yi was still sitting steadily in his chair, so he couldn’t help but give him an extra look.
After sending them away, Song Sihui turned around and closed the door, resting his body against it, taking a few deep breaths, but still unable to suppress his wildly beating heart. …?”
Song Wan Yue smiled wryly, “The wind chill pills are just throwing stones, the great tonic pills are the ones that earn money, if we agree to them painfully, he’s bound to kill the price hard later, we can’t do this losing business.”
Song Si put the cup on the table, “How do you think this little head of yours grew up? How can you think so long term, big brother didn’t think of it.”
“Big brother’s brain is used for reading, as for mine well ……”
Song Wangyue stretched her tone and tilted her head mischievously, “Naturally it is used for business.”
“You. ……”
Song Si was amused by her mischievous look and petted her head, “You ah ……”
Seeing his action, Gu Yi’s eyes instantly lit up for a moment and quickly returned to business as usual.
Song Si thought of a question and asked, “Which friend did you save that hundred bottles of peppermint oil for?”
Gu Yi also looked over momentarily.
“There is no friend anywhere, it was left for the scholar who pledged our stuff at noon, that scholar was embarrassed but not timid when he came to the door, he should have sold other things before, I have a feeling that the twenty bottles of peppermint oil he took should be able to sell all of them this afternoon. It’s not easy for him to do this. There are still several days ahead, which is a good time to sell, so let’s just help him out and let him make more money.”
Song Si nodded, “You’re right, a few hundred wens is not worth mentioning to a rich person, but to a poor student, it might be the cost of his meals in the capital these days, only when he has enough to eat will he have the strength to sit the exams.”
No sooner had he said this than he heard an eager enquiry at the door, “Is your girl here?”
Hearing whose voice it was, Song Wan Yue quickly went over and opened the door to the room.
The person who came was the blue-shirted scholar who had sold twenty bottles of peppermint oil on credit.
When the blue-shirted student saw her, he was overjoyed and pointed to a man behind him, “Miss, how much peppermint oil do you have left, this shopkeeper wants it all.”
