Chapter 31: Made Money, Made Money

he village. Wouldn't that be betterWhat did they say Zongyu hadn't resolutely agreed to protect the villagers who came up the mountain to dig canals, as requested by Wang, the village head.After being...The shopkeeper's attitude immediately changed when he saw that she wasn't there to buy lingzhi.

"If there's no stock, what are you asking Wasting my time."

Fang Jinshi weighed the two taels of silver in her hand, “Without medicinal herbs to sell you, I can’t even ask you two questions”

"Can I fetch the medicine"

The shopkeeper was also a money-grubber, money meant everything to him. As soon as he saw the silver, he immediately reverted back to a smiling face.

The service attitude is directly related to the money.

"Alright, alright! What kind of medicine does the girl want Please show me the prescription."

This shopkeeper is very realistic and straightforward, not putting on any airs.

"There is no prescription."

The prescription was all in her head.

"Without a prescription, what medicine are you grabbing!" The shopkeeper changed his face again, "Little girl, I don't have time to play house with you here."

Fāng Jǐnxiù slapped the silver onto the table, "Cut the crap, who has time to play house with you."

"I'll tell you the names of the herbs, just get them for me."

One penny of Ephedra, one penny of Sophora leaves, three pennies of cicada wings, half a penny of Atractylodes.

"Two ounces each of silkworm, wormwood, and earth dragon, one ounce each of astragalus, orange peel, and poria."

"Grind these herbs together and divide the mixture into fifteen equal parts, then package them for me."

Fang Jinxiu wrote the prescription quickly and skillfully, speaking so fast that the shopkeeper couldn't even remember it clearly.

"Wait, could you say that again"

He listened, how did he feel this prescription was for treating lung coughs But it didn't seem much like the prescriptions they used to treat lung coughs.

Fang Jinshi had no choice but to repeat herself. The shopkeeper took paper and pen and wrote down the recipe.

He handed the medicinal herbs to the clerk to grind and pack, while he himself scrutinized the prescription over and over.

Fang Jinshi wasn't afraid of him stealing her recipe. To her, this was just an ordinary cough and phlegm-relieving herbal formula, not particularly valuable.

Before she met Bai Lingzhi, she was planning to use another more advanced prescription to treat Mu's illness. The prescription included several rare and precious herbs.

She's also worried there might not be any in town.

Now that there's Baizilingchi, that prescription is no longer needed. Bai Lingzhi, combined with a regular medication, can cure Mu Shi's illness just as well.

The shopkeeper looked for a long time, and suddenly shouted three times, “Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!”

"Who concocted this prescription It's truly remarkable! It invigorates qi and harmonizes the body, with a perfectly balanced blend of medicinal properties. It is especially effective for treating coughs originating in the lungs. A truly invaluable formula!"

After finishing his words, the shopkeeper's gaze toward Jiang Xiushi burned with a fiery intensity.

"Girl, please tell me old man!"

"How about you sell me this recipe I'll give you five taels of silver, and I won't charge you for the medicinal herbs I caught today."

Fang Jinshi raised an eyebrow, there was actually such a good thing.

Anyway, she had plenty of recipes for medicine, so one more wouldn't make a difference.

"Did the shopkeeper just say he wanted to buy my recipe"

"Really, really true!"

"By the way, would you please tell me which doctor prescribed this remedy I've run a pharmacy in town for over ten years and have no idea when such a gifted physician appeared here."

Fang Jinxiu desperately suppressed the urge to raise her lips into a smile.

She just pulled out an ordinary cough medicine recipe, and people here treated her like a divine doctor. If she were to bring out something even more powerful, wouldn't she become a deity!

But she was just daydreaming, she didn't really intend to do that.

At least for now, it's best not to flaunt too much, especially when things are going poorly. You never know if you'll attract good fortune or misfortune.

Fāng Jǐnxiù insisted on not saying, and the shopkeeper was helpless.

He wrote a bill of sale and bought the prescription for five taels of silver from Fang Jinshu.

As she walked out of the pharmacy, Fang Jinshu couldn't help but smile.

I never expected that going to the apothecary for medicine not only wouldn't cost me a penny, but I would actually walk away with five taels of silver from them.

Fang Jinshu left a cunning trick, secretly pocketing the extra five taels of silver. Although the members of the Zong family seemed kind and respectable on the surface.

Except for Zong Yulian, who is innocent of any wrongdoing.

Even good people can have bad days, and it's important to be financially secure. She hasn't known the Zong family long enough to fully trust them.

The remaining two taels of silver and two strings of copper coins, she intended to return to Zong Yu.

She walked out of the pharmacy and went to the grain store to look for Zong Yu. As soon as she got closer, she saw a crowd gathered at the entrance of the grain store, as if someone was making a fuss and arguing.

She squeezed inside and her eyebrows furrowed instantly.

"Our grandson has such a hard life!"

To have such an uncle, even with money, he is unwilling to save his own nephew's life and would just watch him die.

"What a heartless and shameless person!"n't have to touch anything in the kitchen. Fang Jinshi only stood by and guided them on how to make breakfast.The people here cook in a rather rough manner, so Fang Jinshi taught the two of them quit...
