"Stop! Be quiet, all of you."
The common people all want to earn those three coins, so how can they be at peace?
Su Luo's voice was completely drowned out by their timbre.
Seeing a teapot on the table, Su Luo smashed it to the ground.
The crisp sound of the teapot shattering echoed throughout the entire Ji'an Hall.
Upon hearing this sound, the noisy crowd quieted down.
Su Luo's face was icy cold, and her eyes were filled with extreme anger.
"The herbal oil is sold out today. I would like to come back in a few days."
Upon hearing Su Luo's words, the young apprentice immediately placed the "Sold Out" sign on the counter.
"That's right, the herbal oil is sold out. Please leave now."
The young medicine boy went out and gestured for the people who had come to snatch the herbal oil to come.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. How could they have sold out so quickly?
If they can't sell the herbal oil, they won't earn those three coins.
Suddenly someone pointed at the bottle of herbal oil in Su Luo's hand and said...
"Young lady, don't you still have a bottle of herbal oil? We'll take one too."
"Yes! We want one bottle too."
Suddenly, he wanted to snatch the bottle of herbal oil from Su Luo's hand.
Seeing this, the three elderly people leaning on canes also tried to grab it.
They clearly asked this young lady to get it for them first.
We can't let these people take it. These three old people took four or five days to walk here, stopping frequently.
They couldn't go back empty-handed. The young lady said they would have to wait another two or three days for the herbal oil, and the dry rations they brought wouldn't be enough for them to wait that long.
We must buy this bottle today. These three elderly people need this herbal oil even more than these people.
"Young lady, that's...that's..."
The three of them, leaning on their canes, could barely stand. As soon as they tried to come over, they were pushed and fell to the ground.
"Dr. Wang, please save him..."
Seeing that the three elderly people were about to be trampled underfoot, Su Luo quickly called for Doctor Wang to help them to the side.
In front of everyone, Su Luo handed the bottle of herbs in her hand to the young medicine boy.
Tell him to take it to the three old people.
"No, young lady, we arrived first. You should give us that bottle of herbal oil."
The people who came were still arguing.
Su Luo shouted loudly, "I know very well who came first and who came later."
Herbal Oil is sold out today. If you continue to cause trouble here, please do so.
I wouldn't mind inviting the magistrate out for a visit.
When Su Luo mentioned the county magistrate, the people's arrogance subsided.
There seems to have always been some connection between Ji'an Hall and the government.
Although the nature of the relationship is unclear, these little-known details are common knowledge.
"Young lady, Doctor Du, is there really no more Herbal Oil?"
Some people still asked, unwilling to give up.
“The last bottle, that’s all,” Du Xiuyuan replied.
More than twenty people slowly walked out, dejected. It seemed they wouldn't earn their three coins today.
A group of people went out, while the smug, bearded man sat there waiting.
Knowing that his plan had failed, he instantly flew into a rage.
The clenching of his teeth made his entire beard tremble.
He stormed into Ji'an Hall in a rage and slammed his fist on the counter.
"You did this on purpose!"
The agreement was that one person could buy ten bottles, and he has already found someone else to buy them. Why shouldn't Ji'antang sell them to him?
"You have your policies, and I have my countermeasures. Let's not let each other interfere with each other."
Su Luo looked up at the bearded man with a sinister smile and repeated his words back to him.
Buying and selling are free; you can buy, and I can choose not to sell.
"Fine, well done, Ji'an Hall, you just wait..."
After the man finished speaking in a fit of rage, he turned and left...
“Madam Su, this person must be using our herbal oil to resell it outside and make a high profit.”
Su Luo knew this, of course; otherwise, she wouldn't have targeted him.
"This matter concerns the reputation of Ji'an Hall, and Baicao Oil represents Ji'an Hall."
If this continues, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Looking at recent drug purchase records, it's clear that more than one person has been profiting from this reselling method.
“Madam Su, every bottle of herbal oil is engraved with Ji’an Hall. Our herbal oil business hasn’t even started yet, we absolutely cannot let it be ruined by these people.”
Su Luo nodded in thought. She was determined to find a way to satisfy both sides and prevent such behavior from happening again.
"I'll think of a good way to deal with this. I'll go over there and check on those grandfathers. They seem to be injured."
"good!"
Three elderly people fell down at Ji'an Hall and refused to cooperate with Dr. Wang's pulse diagnosis.
"Doctor, we're fine, we don't need to see a doctor."
This was said by one of the elderly men who had a particularly bad fall.
The three men had gray hair and beards, yet they remained as stubborn as donkeys.
"Grandpa, I need to check how serious your injuries are, otherwise I can't feel at ease."
Doctor Wang took out a pulse pillow, but none of the three elderly people stretched out their hands for Doctor Wang to take their pulse.
"No need, no need. We're all old bones, we're used to bumping and bruising all the time."
It was just a fall, nothing serious, I'll be fine in a little while.
Seeing the three elderly people's predicament, Su Luo spoke up.
"Don't be afraid, gentlemen. Doctor Wang is giving you a free consultation and will not charge you any money."
"Really...really?"
All three old men looked up to Su Luo.
They only ever did this kind of free medical consultation when they were young.
Back then, when there was no war and the world was at peace, there were chivalrous people who would provide free medical care for the elderly and children.
For the past ten years or so, there has been constant warfare, and the people have suffered immensely.
"real!"
After Su Luo confirmed that it was a free clinic, the three of them reached for the pulse pillow.
Su Luo and Du Xiuyuan worked together, each of them cutting into one meridian.
Observing the pulse, the old man's body is just weak and needs more nourishment.
"Grandpa, you are in good health. As long as you eat well, you will live a long life."
The old man lowered his head and smiled bitterly, but he was still very grateful to Su Luo for leaving them this bottle of herbal oil.
"We've all lived to this age, so it doesn't matter whether we live a long life or not. We'll be grateful if we can just have less pain and suffering."
After the old man finished speaking, he thought for a moment and then told Su Luo.
"Young lady, we old men thank you today."
Actually, we all know the bearded guy at the entrance.
He was a gang leader in Pi County who also dealt in various odds and ends.
Fortunately, you didn't sell the herbal oil to him. The herbal oil that ended up in his hands was then taken to Pi County.
A bottle of herbal oil can be resold for eighty wen (a unit of currency). It's very effective. A relative of mine told me that you can buy it for only thirty wen at Ji'an Hall in Yongle County.
That's why the three of us old folks decided to come to Ji'an Hall together, just to save fifty copper coins."
This is outrageous. Su Luo thought they might take the herbal oil out and resell it, which would only fetch a maximum of forty-odd coins.
I never expected it to sell for eighty coins a bottle. I can make an extra fifty coins by reselling it.
It was four times more than her and Dr. Du's profits.
