Xiao Yingchun and Fu Chenan looked at each other, then looked at the head of the Zhu family.
Zhu Yuanxing was obviously nervous: "Come in."
Fu Chenan asked Xiao Yingchun to wait outside while he followed the security guard and Zhu Yuanxing in first.
The room was very simple, with mud walls, a thatched roof, a tattered wooden bed, and a mottled three-legged wooden table, the missing legs of which were padded with stones.
It’s even more dilapidated than Fu Chenan’s house in Shitou Lane back then.
What was out of place in this simple room was a bent-necked glass bottle on the three-legged table, the mouth of which was facing a branch on the wall, fitting perfectly.
The branches are dark green and seem to have vitality.
There is a little water stain on the bottom of the glass bottle.
Xiao Yingchun and Fu Chenan were both attracted by the glass bottle.
Fu Chenan: "Is this the thing?"
Zhu Yuanxing looked at the two people nervously and said, "Yes, this is that thing."
"Is that the medicine secreted by this branch?"
Zhu Yuanxing explained: "This potion is not secreted by the branches, but flows through the hollow branches from the space-time wormhole."
"How long have you been saving this amount of medicine?"
Zhu Yuanxing paused: "More than five years..."
Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun: …
The bent-necked glass bottle was only the size of a thumb, and the total amount of medicine inside was not even enough for half a pill.
But Zhu Yuanxing said that it took more than five years to accumulate this amount of medicine?
That's too slow...
Xiao Yingchun asked curiously, "Every time you have enough medicine for one pill, you hold this glass bottle and pour out the medicine to make pills?"
Zhu Yuanxing nodded: "That's right."
"Can I touch it?"
Zhu Yuanxing hesitated for a moment and nodded again: "Be careful..."
Xiao Yingchun reached out to touch it, and suddenly felt a suction force at her fingertips.
She was so scared that she quickly retreated: Zhu Yuanxing was still right beside her, she couldn't let the glass bottle disappear under his watchful eyes, right?
Zhu Yuanxing saw Xiao Yingchun retreating and thought she was afraid of damaging it: "Just be careful, it won't break."
Xiao Yingchun shook her head: "Forget it."
Seeing that she stopped touching him, Zhu Yuanxing looked at Fu Chenan again: "Master Fu, Madam, can we talk?"
Fu Chenan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Okay."
In the house next to the thatched hut is a beautifully decorated lounge.
There were sofas, tea and everything else inside, obviously everything had been prepared long ago.
Zhu Yuanxing watched helplessly as the people from the Fu family took over the hosting of the meeting, served tea and snacks to Fu Chenan and his wife, then left the room and closed the door. He sighed silently.
They can become the host because they have the capital to do so.
Fu Chenan helped his wife sit down first, and brought her food and drinks, then looked at Zhu Yuanxing: "What do you want to talk about?"
"Master Fu, I invited you to come and see this because I want to discuss a deal with you."
Fu Chenan raised his hand slightly: "You say."
"Did you use the pills I gave you before?"
Fu Chenan nodded but said nothing.
Zhu Yuanxing knew it was useful: if it wasn’t useful, he wouldn’t come again.
"If I give you this yard and this thatched house, can you help the Zhu family?"
Fu Chenan did not answer but asked: "How do you want me to help?"
"I know that the Fu family has many treasured ancient medical books and inherited medical skills."
"My Zhu family has been tepid for so many years. I also want to make progress and make my family prosperous..."
Zhu Yuanxing actually asked: Can the Zhu family participate in the cultivation of medicinal herbs?
Fu Chenan was extremely surprised: "I thought you wanted to improve your medical skills?"
When he said this, Zhu Yuanxing himself wilted: "Master Fu, you don't know that my Zhu family's medical skills have not made much progress over the years. The children in the family don't have much interest in studying medicine..."
On the contrary, they are very interested in making money and are gradually losing their bottom line for this.
The head of the Zhu family once hesitated: Should he force his children to improve their medical skills?
But after two years of hard work, he gave up.
On the one hand, the Zhu family’s medical skills and prescriptions were not considered precious or sophisticated.
It is extremely difficult to learn better medical skills and prescriptions from the outside world.
Most traditional Chinese medicine families regard their own prescriptions and medical skills as more precious than anything else, and it is impossible to learn them.
As a result, the Zhu family had to rely entirely on the cell activation drug, which could not be produced even a drop in the past ten years, to maintain the Zhu family's expenses.
What will happen if this continues?
Over the years, the head of the Zhu family has been working hard to maintain the status quo while trying to change it and find a way out for the Zhu family.
It was also because of this that he was willing to be a tool for the Ding family.
As a result, he was knocked down by the Fu family.
The head of the Zhu family did not shy away from telling Fu Chenan these things frankly, looking at Fu Chenan eagerly.
"Master Fu, my Zhu family also wants to learn well and move forward steadily without deviation."
"I am willing to give the Zhu family's lifeblood to the Fu family. I only ask you to give me a clear way out..."
Fu Chenan frowned: The Zhu family had evil intentions, and he wanted to refuse.
But when he turned around, he saw Xiao Yingchun's expression and was stunned: What was Xiao Yingchun's expression? Did she want him to agree?
He followed Xiao Yingchun's gaze and glanced in the direction of the thatched hut, and immediately understood: Xiao Yingchun had taken a fancy to the glass bottle.
After thinking for a while, Fu Chenan asked: "What do you want?"
When the head of the Zhu family heard this, he knew there was hope. He hurried forward and said, "My Zhu family doesn't have a successor who is interested in studying Chinese medicine, but the Zhu family has its own pharmaceutical factory..."
"If the Fu family is willing, we are willing to produce various traditional Chinese medicines for them."
Fu Chenan shook his head: "No need... My Fu family has its own pharmaceutical factory..."
"I heard that the Fu family has developed many Chinese herbal medicine planting bases overseas? We are willing to grow medicine for the Fu family..."
Fu Chenan shook his head again: "No need. We also have someone in charge of this..."
The smile on the Zhu family patriarch's face gradually disappeared, and he simply gave in: "Then you see..." What can you give?
Fu Chenan thought for a while and said, "I can give you a recipe for Qibao Meiran Dan, which can strengthen the kidney and improve the essence. If you produce this medicine, as long as the ingredients are genuine and you don't cut corners in the production, it should be able to support your family..."
The Zhu family's Patriarch was stunned: "Seven Treasures Beard Beauty Pill?"
This is a classic recipe!
This kind of pills are available on the market, and his Zhu family also sells this kind of medicine. What's so strange about it?
Fu Chenan explained: "This is not a recipe on the market, this is a secret recipe of the palace..."
The head of the Zhu family was skeptical.
Fu Chenan didn't force it: "We will be in Xingcheng tonight. I will have someone send you medicine later. You can try it."
"If you find it useful after trying it, we can talk about other things."
Fu Chenan didn't say anything more, he just took Xiao Yingchun and left.
After they got out of the door and into the car, Fu Chenan raised the partition and asked Xiao Yingchun, "Do you want me to agree to him?"
Xiao Yingchun rolled her eyes at him, smiling: "You've already promised him, why are you still asking me?"
Fu Chenan said calmly: "If that's what you mean, I'll give him the good Qibao Meiran Pill."
"If that's not what you meant, and I misunderstood my lady, I'll buy him a bottle of Qibao Meiran Dan from the market."
Zhu Jia is not stupid. If the medicine he gave is useless, he will naturally not agree to this condition.
At that time, the transaction with the Fu family will be automatically invalidated.
Xiao Yingchun looked at Fu Chenan in shock: "Your Highness, you are..." That's too mean!
Fu Chenan pinched Xiao Yingchun's white earlobe and explained with a smile.
There is nothing wrong with the prescription of today's traditional Chinese medicine pills; the problem lies with the medicinal materials.
Mass production of pills will inevitably lead to a shortage of authentic medicinal materials.
The price of wild and authentic medicinal materials is incomparable to that of cultivated medicinal materials, and the cost is more than twice as high.
Because the medicinal materials are not effective enough, the medicine produced is naturally not effective enough.
The sample of Qibao Meixu Dan that Fu Chenan could provide was naturally made from the best medicinal materials in the Imperial Hospital, so its efficacy was naturally impeccable.
But if the Zhu family uses herbs that are not grown for a long time to make medicine, the efficacy of the medicine will not be good.
If the Zhu family wants the medicine to be more effective, they need to purchase large quantities of authentic, aged medicinal materials.
By then, Fu Chenan's medicinal herb planting base will be able to play a role...
At this point, Fu Chenan asked curiously, "You want that thing, what did you see from the glass bottle?"
Xiao Yingchun nodded, and his expression became serious: "..." (End of this chapter)
