Chapter 205 205. Buying Prescriptions
"Not bad. I think your painting of 'The Twelve Flower Gods' is quite good." Zhou Pan said with admiration as he looked at Shi Liu's copied painting.
Shi Liu shook her head, pouted unhappily, and said, "It's just nice to look at. Compared to Master Li Caiwei's painting, it lacks spirituality and is too rigid and stiff."
As a child of an aristocratic family, Zhou Pan has some basic appreciation ability. Shi Liu's paintings have not reached the level of "form and spirit", but fortunately the "form" is still well done. As for the "spirit", this requires understanding and there is no need to rush.
Zhou Pan could only console her, "Take your time. Don't rush. You've already surpassed others by achieving this in such a short time. The rest will be achieved with experience."
Shi Liu rubbed her sore wrists. Practicing calligraphy and painting really strained her wrists. Except for dancing, all of her remaining courses were also very demanding on her wrists.
Looking at the medicine jar that was empty again, Shi Liu frowned. Fortunately, Zhou Pan had bought the ointment formula before, otherwise, buying the ointment alone would be a considerable expense these days.
Zhou Pan obviously noticed the empty medicine jar and frowned as he said, "You're using up the ointment too quickly, Shi Liu. I know you want to complete the task as quickly as possible, but you also need to balance work and rest. Otherwise, if you keep going like this, not only will your painting be a masterpiece, but your wrist will be ruined."
Shi Liu nodded guiltily. She was just being stubborn and arguing with the "Twelve Flower Gods Picture".
Zhou Pan was worried that Shi Liu might pretend to obey but actually disobey, so he continued, "Although this ointment is effective, it's not as good as the ointment from Yin Yang Pavilion. You can buy some ointment from Yin Yang Pavilion and mix it with it."
When Shi Liu heard Zhou Pan mention the ointment from Yin Yang Pavilion, her face ached. She knew that the ointment sold in Yin Yang Pavilion was of good quality, but she was too good at making ointment to afford it.
Seeing that there was still something unclear about this, Zhou Pan pinched Shi Liu's nose and said, "Ask the store owner if he's willing to sell the prescription, but I don't think he'll be willing to sell it, so don't get your hopes up. If he doesn't want to sell it, just buy the ointment from him. Don't be reluctant to part with it. You may not feel it now, but when you're old, you'll be the one to suffer the pain in your wrist."
Shi Liu was not someone who didn't know what was good for her. She naturally knew that Zhou Pan was telling the truth, otherwise she wouldn't buy a bottle or two of ointment from time to time: "I'll ask the other party first."
In the eyes of the other party, the ointment formula was like a hen that laid eggs. The store owner was very angry at first and refused to sell it no matter what.
Shi Liu pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, I want to buy the ointment for my own use, but I also want to sell it in our plane. As for selling it on the Yin Yang Pavilion, I've never thought about it, at least not in this lifetime. Boss, you might as well think about it carefully. If you really want to sell it, then tell me a fair price. If you don't want to sell it, forget it."
The shopkeeper was silent for a while, then said, "I'll think about it."
"Okay, but I hope you can reply as soon as possible."
There are quite a few ointments with similar effects sold in Yin Yang Pavilion. Shi Liu has a great demand for ointments and has bought almost all of them. Although the ointment from this store is not the best, it is definitely the most cost-effective.
Shi Liu suspected the raw materials they used weren't very precious. In other words, she probably already had them. This was one of the reasons she'd contacted the shop owner. She believed the shop owner would soon understand. After all, few of those who thrived in the Yin-Yang Pavilion were fools.
Finally, after paying for a detection bracelet and 1,000 merit points, Shi Liu got the ointment formula. She was quite satisfied with the price. After all, if she replaced all her ointments with those from the store, 1,000 merit points would be enough for her to use for a year. In the end, she still made a profit.
Since he was determined to learn about the pharmaceutical industry, Shi Liu simply didn't ask Zhou Pan to do it for him and made the medicine himself.
The production steps provided by the store were very detailed. Pomegranate succeeded in making the ointment the first time he tried. He was so excited that he made more than a hundred jars at once.
Looking at the medicine jars piled on the ground, Shi Liu felt like crying. There was no preservative in her ointment, and it would be wasted if she didn't use it up quickly.
When Zhou Pan entered the space and saw the medicine jars all over the floor, he was silent for a while: "My elder brother-in-law is busy with carpentry all day, I am afraid he will need ointment. Please send two jars to my elder brother-in-law later, and I will take two jars first."
Shi Liu immediately asked with a worried look on his face, "Is your wrist injured?"
Zhou Pan patted Shi Liu's hand soothingly and said, "Don't worry, my wrist is fine. It's just that I shoot so often, and the recoil of the gun is still quite strong. After a long time, my wrist will inevitably hurt."
Shi Liu thought about how she felt when she was practicing shooting in the shooting range in her previous life. She felt that she was not paying enough attention to Zhou Pan, and a hint of sadness showed on her face.
Zhou Pan didn't think Shi Liu didn't care about him. After all, there were some things he had deliberately concealed. With Shi Liu's personality, she wouldn't ask about many things unless he mentioned them. However, he was quite happy that Shi Liu was willing to reflect on herself and pay more attention to him.
"That's how soldiers practice shooting. It's not a big deal. Stop frowning."
Although Zhou Pan didn't think anything was wrong, Shi Liu still felt bad. She decided to be more attentive to Zhou Pan in the future: "If you feel uncomfortable in the future, you must tell me. You know that if I don't pay attention now, you will suffer in the future. Why don't you pay attention yourself?"
Zhou Pan was nagged so much that he begged for mercy, and Shi Liu held him down and applied the ointment personally.
Seeing Zhou Pan's ecstatic look, soldier Wang Hongxing whispered to his buddy, "Our Captain Zhou really loves his wife."
Because their names were similar, Wang Hongjun quickly became good friends with Wang Hongxing. Wang Hongjun felt helpless about his good friend's gossiping nature: "If it were me, I would also want a wife." He didn't even look at how pretty their company commander's wife was. She was said to be a high school student, a cultured person.
Wang Hongxing nodded in agreement. "That's right. Every time I meet Captain Zhou's wife, she nods and says hello to me. Unlike Captain Liu's wife, her eyes are almost on top of her head. She looks down on everyone. I don't know what she's so proud of."
Wang Hongjun knew a little about the situation: "Lieutenant Liu's wife is said to be the daughter of an official, and she herself is a worker-peasant-soldier university student. Naturally, she is arrogant. You kid, don't offend her, or she will make things difficult for you."
Wang Hongxing was immediately displeased: "I just don't believe that Captain Liu would punish me for this!"
Wang Hongjun quickly signaled him to lower his voice. "Lieutenant Liu made his fortune thanks to his father-in-law, so he naturally wouldn't dare offend his wife. I heard that a soldier couldn't stand his wife's behavior and muttered a few words. The other party heard it, and then the soldier was transferred to another team."
What Wang Hongjun didn't know was that the person he mentioned was Zhou Fangxing. It can only be said that a capable person can get back on his feet as long as he is patient and works hard, even if he encounters setbacks temporarily.
Cong Qian accidentally heard the two people whispering and felt very uncomfortable. Her previous pretentious appearance was probably as unpleasant as Captain Liu's wife.
