"Alright, Dr. Chen, I took one pill early this morning and I'm about 50-60% better now. The diarrhea has stopped, and I have some strength back. The Ouyang family is going to spend a lot of money to buy that box of medicine."
“I said I didn’t have a decision yet and I had to ask Dr. Chen first. They absolutely refused to let me take that box of medicine back, and only told me to come back and ask for a price.”
Seeing that it really had such a miraculous effect, Dr. Chen smiled.
Since the Ouyang family was so wealthy, he thought for a moment and said, "Twenty taels will do."
“Just say that this medicine has just been introduced, it is very effective, and it is extremely complicated to prepare, so it is expensive. Considering that the Ouyang family has come to Jishi Medical Hall to buy medicine and treat patients many times, we will ask for less.”
"If the Ouyang family has any objections, just say that compared to a life, what is twenty taels? There are plenty of people lining up to get this kind of medicine."
As Mr. Chen spoke with practiced wisdom, he secretly glanced at Qiao Lian'er. "The cost price is five taels. I wonder if this girl thinks I'm making too much money."
But Qiao Lian'er seemed not to hear.
For her, the price of the medicine was the boss's business.
Doctor Chen brought out thirty taels of silver and solemnly handed it to Qiao Lian'er: "Girl, from now on, you can just bring these medicines to Jishi Medical Hall to sell. The price is negotiable."
"Don't worry, Dr. Chen. These medicines are rare. I don't think I can sell them to other clinics."
Doctor Chen took another good look at Qiao Lian'er and saw that she was full of intelligence. At an age when she should be innocent and naive, this girl seemed to have the soul of an adult inside her.
He marveled inwardly, thinking that he had truly encountered an extraordinary person. Indeed, extraordinary people are not limited by age.
"Dr. Chen, I have a request," Qiao Lian'er said, "and I hope Dr. Chen will grant it."
"you say."
"When Dr. Chen is keeping the accounts, don't write my name down. If someone sees the accounts and the news that I have these good medicines gets out, other people will come to me for medicine."
“This kind of medicine, you could say, could cost a life with just one box, it’s bound to attract covetous eyes. Our family just wants to live a peaceful life.”
"Don't worry about this, Miss Qiao. We will keep the account books safe and will never leak them."
Qiao Lian'er shook her head: "Anything that can be seen is at risk of being lost. It's not that I don't want Dr. Chen to keep the accounts, but he can use an alias or something. Don't write my address, or make up an address."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to do business with Dr. Chen with peace of mind."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Chen quickly agreed: "Okay, it's a small matter, I'll do it your way."
"Miss Qiao, you are so young, yet you have thought of everything so thoroughly. That's impressive."
As noon approached, Qiao Lian'er went to a restaurant to order food. Looking at the teahouses, taverns, and shops along the street, an idea suddenly occurred to her.
With so much silver on hand, I can buy some shops and rent them out, and hide the rest away.
Farmland is the foundation of a farmer's livelihood and their last resort. There are still so many people in the family, and now that Grandma Qiao and Grandpa Qiao are gone, each branch of the family will need to be allocated land, so we need to prepare more.
Yes, buy storefronts, buy fields and land.
If we convert the money in our hands into assets, then who can move them or dig them up?
Having made these decisions, Qiao Lian'er felt much more at ease.
She went straight to Mr. Cai's restaurant and said as soon as they met, "Mr. Cai, my family wants to eat here. Should we give them a discount?"
Upon hearing this, Boss Cai laughed and readily said, "How about this, I'll charge you based on cost price, a 30% discount."
When this girl did business with him, she was always very generous in rounding down the price.
Qiao Lian'er thought that there should be at least a 20-30% discount, but instead, she offered a 30% discount.
