Chapter 418 The Herbal Medicine Business Begins (1/2)



"Sigh, here comes someone who wants to take advantage," thought Old Madam Chu.

Those nuts are delicious. Yesterday, some customers stayed in the shop and wouldn't leave. They wouldn't listen to the introduction of medicinal herbs and just wanted to eat a few more.

Of course, we can't let them eat for free; once the free limit is exceeded, they have to pay.

But the next day, they can pretend it's their first time trying the food.

Thinking that her business was about to go out of business and that someone was trying to take advantage of her, Old Madam Chu felt distressed.

I wonder how much it cost to produce these nuts.

The middle-aged man's face lit up when he saw them.

"Boss, you've arrived."

"Uncle, what can I do for you?" Qiao Lian'er's thoughts were completely different from those of Old Madam Chu.

Is there work coming?

"It's like this, yesterday I bought a medicine from your pharmacy, took it home and brewed it, and I felt much more energetic. I felt like I had gained a lot of strength in my limbs and bones. I simply chopped all the firewood in the yard to make myself tired so I could fall asleep."

"When I woke up this morning, I was still in good spirits, so I decided to do manual labor and carry timber. It would earn me more than doing odd jobs."

Doing manual labor is physically demanding and pays well, but many people can't do it.

"I only bought a few coins' worth of medicine yesterday, but I plan to buy more today."

Old Madam Chu was stunned. Were those medicinal herbs really that effective?

She thought her granddaughter was just boasting.

Qiao Lian'er winked at Old Madam Chu, then went into the shop to get medicine for the customer.

That's a whole pound gone in one go.

"I wonder if there will be more of these medicinal herbs in the future?" the uncle asked again.

"Yes, we guarantee a continuous supply," Qiao Lian'er replied.

The uncle was relieved.

Besides medicinal herbs, the uncle also bought some nuts for his children.

Seeing that this customer bought a lot of medicinal herbs, someone couldn't help but ask another question.

"It really works! It gives me so much energy, I'm energized for everything I do." The uncle patted the man's chest mysteriously.

"Brother, listen to me, you should buy two pounds, take them home and boil them to eat, it'll definitely work."

He did more than just chop wood last night.

The other person's expression shifted. After turning twenty-five, he had been suffering from kidney deficiency and had been desperately searching for effective medicine. These words were extremely damaging to him.

He quickly went into the pharmacy and said, "Give me three catties of the medicine that gentleman just had."

Qiao Lian'er didn't rush to get him medicine; they were all for strengthening the body, but their effects differed.

Some medicinal herbs strengthen the limbs, some invigorate the lungs and internal organs, while others specifically target the heart or kidneys.

Judging from her observations, this uncle, who was not yet thirty, probably had some problems with his kidney energy.

But she pretended not to know anything and simply introduced a few medicinal herbs.

Sure enough, the customer stared intently at the kidney-tonifying herbs, his eyes practically overflowing with longing.

"I'll take this one. Give me three jin (1.5 kg), my elders at home need it."

Qiao Lian'er chuckled inwardly; her family had become the scapegoats.

But this guest was dressed in brocade robes, so he must be from an official family and not short of money.

Qiao Lian'er then let him try some nuts.

The customer tasted it and it was as if his taste buds had opened up a new world. He couldn't help but nod and say, "This is no ordinary product. Give me 100 jin of it."

Not only can it be eaten at home, but it can also be used to give gifts to others.

His carriage was outside, and two men were carrying nuts up to it.

This gave the pharmacy an extra five taels of silver, and with the previous customer's money, they now had over six taels.
