The people around saw that he bought so much at once and couldn't help but taste it out of curiosity. And these customers who tasted it all bought a few.
For a while, the store was bustling with activity inside and outside.
In his haste, Mi Manxing didn't notice that a middle-aged man wearing a hat was staring at him stealthily in the corner of the alley outside the store.
The man saw a pedestrian carrying a bag of pumpkin pie passing by and immediately stopped the person to ask politely.
After knowing that the thing was actually a recovery potion, he smiled sinisterly.
"Finally I caught him."
He whispered and quickly turned and ran away.
Mi Manxing sold the last order and went into the store to drink a cup of tea. Su Xiaoxiao also calculated the time and brought over the fourth pot of pumpkin pie.
"Phew, on the first day I was worried I wouldn't be able to sell any, but business was so brisk that I used up all the pumpkin powder."
Su Xiaoxiao put her things down, sat down and spoke quickly.
"Maybe the recovery potion really tastes terrible?"
Mi Manxing tilted his head and said thoughtfully.
"Cough~"
Su Ye, who was standing by, accidentally choked on his tea when he heard these heartbreaking words.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but hold her forehead when she saw her son's silly look.
"Aye, you have to learn more from your sister Manxing in the future. Even a simple move from her will take you a long time to learn."
Mi Manxing looked over with a smile, and there was no resistance in her smiling eyes.
Su Ye looked at the good-tempered Mi Manxing, sighed awkwardly and nodded in assurance.
"Okay, I will seriously consult Sister Manxing."
It was Su Xiaoxiao who suggested calling me sister.
In her own words, "My Xingxing is a great beauty. Calling her aunt or something like that makes her look old. Just call her sister."
The three of them took a break when there were not many customers before setting out the new pumpkin pie arrangements.
"Then I'll go back and clean up the kitchen."
Su Xiaoxiao waved goodbye and left the pharmacy.
Mi Manxing had been standing at the door for a few minutes when three men with unpleasant auras suddenly approached from a distance.
One of them was wearing a hat and a mask, and it was the sneaky man from before.
The other two were wearing uniforms and looked to be of some status.
"Hey, are your snacks safe? You'll get caught if you illegally produce pharmaceuticals."
The sneaky man pushed his way through the crowd and started pointing at the pumpkin pie on the table.
When the people around heard this, they hesitated to buy.
Yes, they are only concerned with making money, but who can guarantee whether it is safe or not?
Over the years, it's not that no one has developed ways to add recovery agents to food. The difficulty is that either they have no effect or there are subsequent side effects.
In addition, the original recovery agent had no other disadvantages except that it was unpalatable, so over time no one dared to take the risk of research and development.
Mi Manxing looked at the man who came with ill intentions, and his gentle expression faded. He looked at Su Ye who came into the room and explained calmly.
"Sir, everything in our store is certified by the Security Bureau."
When the man heard this, he rolled his eyes like a shifty mouse.
"If you say so, then so be it. Where's the evidence?"
All new pharmaceutical products need to record files before they can be put on the market, and it takes at least one month to pass the inspection.
He had observed the changes in the 'Little Pharmacy' last week, and there was no way he could get the certificate right away.
The person from the Food Bureau who had received money from him showed his ID and took out his wristband, saying that he wanted to inspect it on the spot.
"Don't bother. Isn't this certificate enough proof?"
Su Ye took out the evidence from the house, looked at the crowd surrounding Mi Manxing, took a few steps forward to protect her behind him, and displayed the certificate in front of everyone.
When he saw the old man from the next street who was also buying medicine coming to his door, he realized why Mi Manxing took him to the Security Bureau to record his file early in the morning, and even went to the trouble of speeding up the application for the Sinovac Award.
After registering for the Kexing Award, the project applied for will be reviewed on an expedited basis. Once approved, not only will the files be recorded, but the applicant will also receive a scientific research bonus.
"First Prize of the Sinovac Award."
The person at the front read aloud, causing those behind who couldn't see clearly to gasp.
This award may be often won in big cities, but it has been almost two hundred years since the last person in their small town won it.
“It’s certified to be genuine.”
The two people from the Food Bureau confirmed that there was no problem and left in shame soon.
They only took the money to help speed up the confirmation, not to forge it. Since there is no problem, there is nothing wrong with them leaving.
Seeing that the situation was settled, the sneaky man pushed through the crowd while no one was paying attention and ran away.
It’s a good thing he wore a hat, otherwise he would have been drowned in spit.
As a pharmacy vendor, if his identity were to be discovered, his store would definitely lose traffic.
The farce was resolved, and the few remaining pumpkin pies were quickly sold out.
After closing the stall and returning to the store, Su Ye told Mi Manxing about his suspicions.
"Sister Manxing, that guy just now must be a competitor from the next street. Although his face was well covered, I saw a special bunch of keys around his waist."
Plus, their shapes and voices are similar.
"Well, he can't find any fault with us, don't worry."
Mi Manxing said as he adjusted the angle of the certificate, intending to hang it directly in the store.
Su Ye, who was standing aside, looked at Mi Manxing who was busy running around, tapped the table lightly, and asked the question that was in his mind.
"Sister Manxing, you developed this potion, why don't you write your name on it?"
At that time, Mi Manxing brought him to the Scientific Research Bureau and filled in his name when applying for the project.
In fact, he had wanted to ask before, but the store was very busy at that time and he didn't find the opportunity.
"Well, it's too troublesome to follow up on this. Besides, you already know the prescription, so I'll leave this troublesome matter to you."
Mi Manxing explained with an expression that showed that she didn't want to be so tired.
She didn't care about these honors, and using her name would attract that group of people too quickly. After thinking about it, she simply filled in Su Ye's name.
Anyway, Su Ye has been helping her with the development of this formula, so it's not wrong to say that they have a cooperative relationship.
After hearing such a simple and unpretentious reason, Su Ye always felt that she was not telling the truth.
Sister Manxing seems to be hiding a huge secret.
The rest of the time went by uneventfully. There was nothing wrong with their pumpkin pie, but the process of making the potion was very time-consuming.
Finally, pumpkin pie is sold in limited quantities for a limited time.
Every day, Mi Manxing and Su Xiaoxiao would come to the shop to open it. When Su Ye had no classes on weekends, she would stay in her room to sleep, read, or chat with Su Xiaoxiao in the yard or walk around nearby.
The ordinary and peaceful life made Mi Manxing realize that the incident seemed to have happened a long time ago.
But in fact, it’s only 42 days.
