The man opened the paper, and the old man leaned over to take a look. There were some crooked and illegible handwriting on the paper. It was a prescription, indeed a prescription for a cooling ointment, but only half of it was written.
I guess he was afraid that the prescription would be leaked, so he only wrote half of it on purpose.
"Did you see that?" The man said proudly, waving the paper in his hand. "This is our Lu family's secret recipe passed down from generation to generation."
The old man rolled his eyes. "You just grab a piece of paper and write some silly words on it, and it's your family's secret recipe? What kind of evidence is that? Take it to court and ask the judge if he approves your evidence."
The man was stunned and shook the paper in his hand again, "The evidence is all here, do you dare to deny it?"
Now even the people who came to get the medicine and watch the fun couldn't help but speak up, "If this counts as evidence, then can we just grab a piece of paper and copy a prescription from a medical book and claim it's our family secret recipe?"
Someone immediately echoed, "Yes, that's not evidence. You should at least produce evidence that proves the cooling ointment is your Lu family's exclusive secret recipe, such as the medical notes of your Lu ancestors."
Lu Dabao didn't even know what medical notes were, so where could he get this kind of evidence?
"I don't care. Anyway, the cooling ointment is our Lu family's exclusive secret recipe. Everyone in our village knows it. In the past few years, many people in our village have come to our house to buy the cooling ointment."
The old man was too lazy to argue with him, it was a waste of breath. He didn't know where this idiot came from. "What have you been talking about for a long time? Did you bring the Lu family's cooling ointment? Let me see."
Lu Dabao took out a jar from his bag and handed it to the old man, "Just take a look."
When the old man opened the jar, a unique smell of the cooling ointment hit his nose. The smell was a little stronger than the cooling ointment sold in Yuncaotang, and it was mixed with some other smells. The recipe should be correct, but the person who made the ointment was not skilled enough.
The old man scooped a little with his little finger and applied it on the back of his hand. It had the unique cooling feeling of the cooling ointment, but it was not as strong as the ones sold in the store. The medicinal effect was probably only 50% or 60%, but it was still much better than ordinary ointments.
The old man closed the jar and returned it to Lu Dabao. "It is indeed the cooling ointment. It uses the same recipe."
Lu Dabao and Wu Jindi seemed to have grasped something and immediately shouted, "Listen, everyone! He admitted it himself. Did you hear it?"
The old man rolled his eyes again. "What did I admit? I mean, your cooling cream and the one we sell in our store do use the same recipe, but it's hard to say who stole whose secret recipe. After all, your cooling cream is so lousy and can't compare to ours. It's obviously a pirated product."
Lu Dabao was almost mad, pointing at the old man and cursing, "You old fool, what nonsense are you talking about? We are the genuine product, and our cooling ointment is the most effective."
Wu Jindi said, "That's right, stop talking nonsense and pay me back. Also, we've already sold the secret recipe for the cooling ointment to Jihetang, which opened over there. You, Yuncaotang, are not allowed to sell it again, or we'll sue you until you close down."
The old man finally understood that the Jihetang, which had just opened over there, was involved in this matter.
The old man waved his hand and said, "I'm too lazy to waste time talking to you. Let the people from Jihetang take over. Stop hiding in the back like rats and cockroaches and mess around. Hurry up and leave. Don't delay us from getting medicine for people."
