Dr. Chen glanced at the box and immediately invited Qiao Lian'er to the living room in the backyard.
"Dr. Chen, I do have a secret formula, but I don't sell the formula; I sell the medicine I concoct."
Dr. Chen considered it for a moment and said, "Okay, selling medicine is the same."
If he had such a secret recipe, he wouldn't be willing to sell it either.
The secret recipe can only be sold once, and then there's no money left, but you can sell medicine many times.
No problem, once we get the medicine, the doctor at the clinic will analyze what the medicine is made of and then we can make it the same way.
"Then, Miss Qiao, let me take a look at the medicine."
Qiao Lian'er opened the box and took out six boxes of medicine.
Dr. Chen picked it up and looked at it, somewhat surprised. He could barely understand the words on it, which were much simpler than the words he usually used, but he didn't know what they meant when put together. It was all very strange.
Moreover, the cardboard is very fine and smooth, and it doesn't feel like something that could be made in this era.
"These medicines of mine are all effective and fast-acting. This box is for treating high fever, this box is for treating severe cold, this box is for treating acute gastroenteritis, and this box is for treating severe headaches..."
"Take one pill three times a day."
As Qiao Lian'er spoke, she took out the medicine, pressed out a white pill, and handed it to Doctor Chen.
Dr. Chen looked quite surprised; he had never seen such small, round, flattened white pills before, and they were very delicate.
He picked it up to examine it, and smelled it. It had a medicinal smell, but he couldn't tell anything else.
Dr. Chen refused to believe it was superstition, so he simply crushed the pill into powder with a spoon, then gently stirred it, observing intently, his face growing increasingly strained.
Qiao Lian'er chuckled inwardly. "Dr. Chen, go ahead and do your assessment. Modern medicines not only contain natural plant extracts, but also antibiotics, chemically synthesized ingredients, and more."
Even the most skilled doctors in ancient times couldn't tell the difference.
She understood what Dr. Chen meant. She bought the medicine from her, analyzed its components, and then formulated it herself, thus saving herself money. Just like the people who buy ingredients to grow their own crops, whenever a good thing comes out, everyone will try every means to replicate it in order to save costs or make a profit.
But this thing really can't be copied.
In this Jishi Medical Clinic, no one is more senior than Dr. Chen. He himself cannot see it, and he believes that other doctors are also powerless to help.
Dr. Chen sighed helplessly.
It seems that from now on, if I want to use this medicine, I'll have to buy it from the girl.
"Miss Qiao, please tell me directly, how much are these medicines?"
Qiao Lian'er had already decided on the price and held up one hand: "Five taels a box."
"What?" Doctor Chen thought he had misheard and looked at her in disbelief.
"Five taels a box, Miss Qiao, do you know what five taels means?"
"Dr. Chen, a good prescription from you will cost at least several hundred coins, or even one or two taels of silver, and it will take two or three days to take effect. Sometimes the patient will die before the medicine takes effect."
"Yes, it's not that the medicine is useless, but if the condition is too critical, even the best medicine won't be able to get there in time."
“But my medicine is effective after just one pill, and three pills can stabilize many patients. You can see this in my older brother. Yesterday, I only gave him one antipyretic pill, and he has been stable ever since.”
“Each box contains ten pills. If the condition is particularly severe on the first day, you can take one more pill. A course of treatment lasts three days, and I happen to have prepared these pills, which takes three days.”
"But five taels is a price that very few people can afford."
