Space and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman - chapter 38 - Medicine-Making Maniac ()
It was Jing Yunzhaos first time doing this (T/N: being in the medicine business) so she nodded, confused . She kept thinking that these peoples eyes were looking at her weirdly .
As expected, that old man laughed, Little girl, Im afraid I have to disappoint you . We dont buy medicinal materials here . These things of yours, unless you go to a personal medicinal spreadbut even then, they probably wouldnt dare to take too much
Jing Yunzhaos body stiffened . She couldnt understand .
But then she heard that old man continue, This is a TCM pharmacy . If we were to buy medicinal materials, it would have to be very rare materials or TCM beverages . And most of those TCM beverages all have medicinal plant factories theyre contracted with . Unless the medicine you make is better and cheaper than theirs .
Medicinal plants belong in three categories . Type one has never been altered and is freshly pure . Type two has been parched, roasted, baked, steamed, soaked, simmered, or etc and can be concocted for use right away . And type three are made into medicine using the materials from type two, like the already packaged powdered medicine (you consume it after mixing it with water) sold in stores .
Jing Yunzhao was a bit worried . She had a lot of things stored in her brain, but she didnt have the knowledge of how reality and these relations worked . That was why she made a mistake .
Thank you, senior, for your pointers . I now know what to do . But senior, would you accept already cooked medicinal plants (type two) if I bring them? Jing Yunzhao asked .
Her voice was refreshing, making it pleasing to listen . Along with her brilliant looks, others easily have a good impression of her .
As long as the quality is good, the store will consider . Oh, little girl, if youre in a rush to sell those materials in your hands, I know a good place The old man thought about it for a while . Looking at how cute and smart Jing Yunzhao seemed to be, he added another sentence .
Jing Yunzhaos eyes quickly lit up .
In this county town, there is a grumpy old man who is a medicine-making maniac . No matter the quantity, as long as the quality of the materials is good, hell take it . But his pricing might be cheaper than all the other places . You can give it a try . Its not very far from here The old man said and then told her the address .
(T/N: The grumpy old man is written as which translates to rotten old man . decided not to leave it as rotten old man cuz i know hes going to be some peoples favorite character later on . )
Jing Yunzhao was a bit hesitant . It was nighttime after all . The place indeed wasnt far, but it was surrounded by alleyways . There werent many people passing by .
However, after thinking more about it, Jing Yunzhao decided to go .
She had her space and she had also practiced some martial arts moves . The chances of something terrible happening to her was quite small . There was no need to worry too much .
After leaving some Pilose Asiabell Roots as thanks, Jing Yunzhao left for the place old man told her .
The lanes had twists and turns . It was nighttime and unlike the big streets, the alleys werent brightly lit . She heard the sounds of nightingales from time to time . It was something that would bring chills down peoples spines . If this was in her past life, Jing Yunzhao naturally wouldnt have to courage to be there . She realized that she now was much braver than she was in her past life . Being in that completely unfamiliar place, she didnt have a single feeling of fear .
After 30-40 minutes, she finally found the place .
The area had a strange smell . There was the smell of medicine, but there were also other smells, like a burnt smell and corrosive smell . Smells were mixed together . It was strange .
In front of her was a big, spacious house with an enclosed yard . The front doors were black and tall, making the place appear heavy yet calm . It gave off a very gloomy vibe . Jing Yunzhao kept noticing noises from the yard, so she chose to knock .
(T/N: Im assuming its not a modern house . Its more of a traditional Chinese house with a yard in the middle of the property and not in front/back of the house . )
After ten seconds, the doors opened and a not-so-old face appeared .
The person was only in his thirties and looked quite spiritless . He gave Jing Yunzhao a few glances and said, You have business here?
