At this point, she glanced outside to make sure no one had come in yet, and continued:
"Plague is a highly contagious and easily transmitted infectious disease, mainly divided into four types. The first type is called bubonic plague, whose main symptoms are swelling in various parts of the body, such as the armpits, neck, or under the jaw..."
The second type is called pneumonic plague, with symptoms including cough, shortness of breath and difficulty breathing, and chest pain.
There is a third type called septicemic plague, the main symptoms of which are chills, persistent high fever, but no increase in body temperature, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness.
The last type is mild plague. Those infected with this type only experience a slight fever and swelling in a certain area that is painful to the touch. You must distinguish between these four types of plague and administer medication to patients as needed. Remember, our medicine is sold at full price.
After listening, Zhiruo and Jiawang nodded in agreement.
"Big sister, we heard you clearly."
Just then, someone outside called out:
Is the boss in?
Luo Zhiwan looked in the direction of the sound and saw the manager of the Rong family's pharmacy, who had sold her the medicinal herbs earlier, standing at the door.
It seems the other party really did call her.
When she turned around, she saw the manager of Rong Family Pharmacy already walking in.
"Oh, Miss Luo, it really is you!"
"Manager Rong, what brings you here?"
"Miss Luo, I heard you have a prescription for treating the plague? I've come to ask if you could sell me some of the herbs I sold you last time? I'll buy them at the original price, so you can make a 30% profit. I'll take as many as you have, and I'll pay in cash for everything."
Hearing this, Zhiruo and Jiawang excitedly came over. If they sold those medicinal herbs at the original price, they could probably make a lot of money.
However, Luo Zhiwan directly shook her head and refused.
"Manager Rong, I'm so sorry, but I have a great use for these medicinal herbs. And I only sell them retail, not wholesale. Please leave!"
"Miss Luo, how about I add another 30% to the purchase price? That way you'll make an extra 60% profit!"
Just when Zhiruo and Jiawang thought she should agree, Luo Zhiwan still shook her head and refused.
Even if you increase the price by 100%, I still won't sell. Please leave!
The Rong family shopkeeper was so angry that he glared at her, but she refused to sell to him no matter what, so he had no choice but to turn around and leave in a huff.
Zhiruo and Jiawang, puzzled, came forward to ask.
"Sister, he's offering such a high price, why don't you sell it to him?"
"That's right, you made 60% profit in just one round trip. You're storing these medicinal herbs precisely to make money."
Luo Zhiwan shook her head with a serious expression.
"The fact that he dared to buy it back at 60% more than the selling price proves that he wants to make a fortune from this plague. Think about it, it's already a very stressful thing for ordinary people to get sick. If they don't have the money to buy expensive medicine, it's like waiting to die. Can we bear to do that?"
Her words seemed to make Zhiruo and Jiawang understand something.
Jiawang was the first to nod.
"Sister, I understand now. We'll do as you say and sell the herbs at the original price."
At this moment, Zhiruo pointed to the door, her eyes wide, her mouth agape, and stammered:
"Big...Big sister, quick...look..."
The moment Zhiwan turned around, she saw a group of people surging towards the Luo family's pharmacy like a tide. Seeing this, she quickly warned them:
"Quickly, cover your mouth and nose, get ready to sell medicine."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone called out from the doorway:
"Boss, give me ten doses of medicine..."
"Boss, give me twenty sets..."
"boss……"
Luo Zhiwan reached the doorway, raised her hands, and pressed them down on the person who was about to rush into the house.
"Everyone, this plague has come suddenly, and I don't know if I have enough medicine, so I'm selling in limited quantities. Each person can buy a maximum of seven doses. Each dose is enough for one person for one day. If the symptoms are not too severe, they can be basically cured in seven days. However, during this period, everyone must cover their mouth and nose like I am doing and take other protective measures. Now, everyone, please line up..."
"Boss, I heard that you're the only place in the entire Phoenix City that has medicine to treat the plague. Are you raising your prices?"
"No price increase, sell at the original price. As long as everyone does what I say, we can defeat this plague."
"Good, good, the Luo family pharmacy is truly our savior."
"The Luo family's pharmacy is truly a conscientious pharmacy!"
"..."
After someone in the crowd shouted this, others followed suit. Luo Zhiwan was not happy about it; she only hoped that the medicinal herbs she had stockpiled could cope with the plague.
At first, everyone was able to queue in an orderly manner, but as more and more people arrived, some people started to get anxious, and the crowd instantly descended into chaos.
Just as Luo Zhiwan was looking at the crowded people and feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, dozens of officials rushed over and separated the crowd. Then, Xie Tianyang walked out from the crowd.
Upon seeing him, Luo Zhiwan's eyes flickered for a moment, then she went to greet him.
"Thank you, City Lord..."
"Miss Luo's business is really booming."
Sensing the hidden meaning in his words, Luo Zhiwan asked, puzzled.
"What do you mean by that, Lord Xie?"
Xie Tianyang glanced at her, his lips curling slightly downwards, then he let out a cold snort.
"Your previous actions have led me to suspect that you are maliciously spreading the plague. Come with me."
ah?
That was what she feared most, so before this happened, she was very careful and dared not mention the word "plague" to anyone.
Is Xie Tianyang still suspicious of him?
