Chapter 77: The Medicine Shop

  Ye Qianjun's surface work is a middle manager of a large state-owned company in Pucheng, which is an idle job, even if he doesn't go to work for several days, no one will notice, mainly to facilitate his undercover work.

  As for Su Nan, he opened a pharmacy. The reason it's called a pharmacy and not a clinic is not only to pursue that ancient atmosphere, but also because Su Nan didn't want to treat those minor illnesses. Minor illnesses that can be treated in hospitals aren't worth Su Nan's effort, besides, treating those kinds of illnesses wouldn't make any money, with the hospital's charging standards being there for comparison.

  The place was still rented to him by Liu Tian. Originally, it was meant to be a gift, but Su Nan thought it wasn't suitable and insisted on not wanting it, so they clarified that it was a rental instead. However, Liu Tian didn't ask for much rent from him, just tens of thousands of yuan, and the contract was signed for ten years, which is almost the same as giving it away.

  The location of the pharmacy is not in a bustling area, and Su Nan likes it here because it's quiet. The house is built in an ancient style, with two small floors. Two Chinese parasol trees are planted in front of the door, adding to its elegance.

  Only Sunan is here now, a recruitment notice has been posted at the door for two days, and no one has come to apply.

  Su Nan was not in a hurry either. He recruited more people, mainly to have someone to watch the house. After all, opening a pharmacy but often closing the door would be easy for people to misunderstand. By recruiting someone to watch over it, he could go out and do his business with peace of mind.

  As for the patient, he really doesn't have to worry. Whether it's Liu Tian Shi, or Liu Shao Zhou, Wang Tian He, or Hu Yan Ling, Wang Feng and others, they will all come forward to introduce him. In their dealings with each other, introducing a divine doctor is also a huge favor that helps their careers, so of course they are willing to do such things.

  As for Xu Mingong and the others, they also remembered Su Nan's name in their hearts. He was a man who could cure Mr. Ming's strange illness with one hand, and could cure a stroke expert between stretches. If he or his loved ones got sick, he would definitely think of Su Nan first.

  With these people promoting, Sunan himself would not worry about having no patients coming to his door. He just didn't want too many, so as not to be too busy.

  He opened several breads placed on the counter, which contained some medicinal materials he had collected over the past few days. It was to match with Xizi tongue to refine the beauty pill.

  "Still missing one kind of medicine." Su Nan said to himself after checking the medicinal materials. In fact, he didn't need to check, these medicinal materials were all collected by him personally, so there was no possibility of mistake.

  The three main medicines for Mei Yan Dan are: first, Xī Zǐ Shé (Western Beauty Tongue), which has already been obtained; second, He Shou Wu that is over ten years old, which is not very rare and can be bought at a medicinal material market; third, Feng Ling Yu (Phoenix Spirit Feather). The Phoenix Spirit Bird looks extremely similar to the phoenix. Because it flies quickly, its shadow is difficult to catch, so people think it's like the spirit of a phoenix, hence the name Phoenix Spirit. This bird is very rarely seen, so Phoenix Spirit Feathers are also precious and hard to find. Su Nan only knows their activity area.

  As for other auxiliary medicinal materials, they are very common and can be found in the medicinal material market.

  There is no phoenix tail feather in the beauty pill, and it also has a beauty effect, but its function is greatly discounted. The authentic beauty pill can triple delay aging, while the simplified version of the beauty pill cannot have this effect, but it can also delay one quarter of the time.

  Few people know the efficacy of Xizi tongue now, so it's cheap for Sunan. However, as a result of his big harvest this time, there will be no suitable Xizi tongue to make medicine in three years.

  Picked out a piece of the most effective Western child tongue, Su Nan collected it and looked forward to finding Feng Lingyu in the future to refine it. As for the remaining part, Su Nan planned to use it to refine the abridged version of the Beauty Elixir.

  Although he knew the method of refining, he had never refined it before. Fortunately, there were enough medicinal materials, and after wasting a small half of the medicinal materials, he successfully refined hundreds of beauty pills. Twelve pieces are packed in one bottle, and Su Nan packed sixty-six bottles.

  Apart from helping his grandfather make medicine in the past, Su Nan had not done such things for nearly four years, so he was a bit rusty and was quite satisfied with this achievement.

  This bottle of beauty pill can make people look a quarter younger, and this youthfulness is natural, not the kind that relies on makeup. Think about it, if you start taking it at 20 years old, by the time others are 40, you'll still look like you're only 35. And if you combine it with makeup, you'll look even younger. I believe this is enough to enthrall those who love beauty.

  Because this is not a quick fix, Sunan didn't plan to make much money from this beauty pill, so he casually set the price at 600,000 yuan per bottle. He also didn't think about actively selling it, just letting others know when there's an opportunity, and it would be best if they came to buy it on their own initiative.

  Of course, there are a few people who can give them a bottle. The first person Su Nan thought of was Yu Xiaohui. If it weren't for Wang Tianhe's help, he wouldn't have gotten to know Liu Tianshi either, and then he wouldn't have had these changes later on. He must thank her properly. Then there are Chen Tong, Ning Yu, Zhou Ying and others. In Su Nan's eyes, the Beauty Pill is just an ordinary medicine that can be made as long as there are medicinal materials, nothing special about it.

  When all these things were done, it was already sunset. Su Nan was about to pack up and go home when someone walked in from outside.

  "Excuse me, is this place hiring employees?"

  The newcomer was a little girl, hanging her head, pinching the hem of her clothes, and asking Su Nan in a timid manner.

  She glanced at her, only fifteen or sixteen years old, slender figure, slightly worn clothes, but very neat, big eyes, single eyelid, fine eyebrows. Although she was standing quietly there, the youthful aura still overflowed from her.

  "Yes." Su Nan responded with a sound, "Who is coming to apply?" Eyes looked out again, except for the girl, there was no one else.

  "I," the girl said softly.

  "But... " Su Nan hesitated, this girl is a bit too young. It's not that she can't do these things, but kids of her age are usually still in school, and it's not very suitable for them to start working so early.

  It seemed like she knew what Su Nan was going to say. The girl looked at him pitifully, "Boss, just keep me on. I really need this job."

  Su Nan's appearance was sunny and didn't look terrifying at all. The girl didn't feel afraid when she saw him, and besides, she was now expecting to work in the pharmacy, so she desperately begged Su Nan. While begging Su Nan, she told him about her situation.

  The little girl's name is Chai Yuer, and she and her father are dependent on each other. Last year, her father was involved in a car accident and became paralyzed from the waist down, putting all the burden of the family on Chai Yuer's shoulders. Knowing that traditional Chinese medicine plays an important role in her father's recovery phase, Chai Yuer has been studying it by herself.

  Today, after work at a small factory, Chai Yuer deliberately took a detour on this road to buy clothes for her father and saw the recruitment of Su Nan's pharmacy. After observing, she knew it was a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy. Chai Yuer had an idea that someone teaching would be better than learning blindly by herself, so she came in to inquire.

  After listening to Chai Yuer, Su Nan felt a deep sympathy for her. Chai Yuer had lost her mother since childhood and her father was bedridden with paralysis, similar to Su Nan's own experience of losing his parents at a young age.

  "Alright. I agree." Su Nan nodded and said, "You can come here to work tomorrow, as for the salary, let's give you three thousand per month first. If you do well, there will be a bonus."

  "This... is too much, right?" Chai Yuer looked at Su Nan with some disbelief. She worked in that factory every month, exhausting herself to death, and only earned around 1,000 yuan. Working at the pharmacy wouldn't require thinking to know it would be easier than working at the factory, and in Chai Yuer's mind, the pay was definitely lower. However, she was willing to make her own life more difficult in order to learn more knowledge, so that her father's body could recover a bit better, and she was extremely willing to work at the pharmacy.

  "It's nothing." Su Nan smiled reassuringly at Chai Yu'er, lest she worry too much and start thinking wildly that Su Nan had some other motive.

  "My business is good, and I don't plan to hire many people. If you come, I won't need to hire others. In that case, you'll have to do a lot of work, but the salary is still quite suitable."

  Listening to Su Nan's explanation, Chai Yuer slowly put her mind at ease. She had indeed thought of other possibilities earlier and was worried that she would be deceived. However, after hearing Su Nan's explanation and not being asked for more money, if she were to be deceived, it would only be a loss of time, and at worst, she could always go back to the factory to work.

  "Am I coming tomorrow? Do I need to bring anything?" Chai Yuer asked again, afraid that Su Nan would say something about paying a deposit.

  "Don't worry, just bring yourself, nothing else is needed." Su Nan also knew what she was worried about. When he was looking for a job, he had also encountered situations where he had to pay a deposit, so he solemnly comforted her with one sentence.

  "Good." Chai Yuer was so excited that she almost shed tears. She bowed to Su Nan and turned around, about to walk out of the pharmacy.

  "Wait a minute." Su Nan called out to her from behind, "Do you live far away? Do you want me to send you back?" Seeing that the sky outside was already late, and thinking of Chai Yu'er's father still waiting for her at home, she would definitely be late returning home after staying in the medicine shed for a while, perhaps her father was already very anxious at home.

  "Not far, go out from the front intersection, cross a road and it's our residential area." Chai Yuer answered Su Nan's question while running outside, her voice clear and crisp, with a joyful tone, very pleasant to hear.

  When Chai Yu'er said that, Su Nan also felt at ease. It was so close that even if he drove to send her, it wouldn't save a few minutes.

  As soon as he opened the car door and sat in, Su Nan suddenly realized that he should also buy a car. This car was still Ning Yunqiang's, although he was in Tian City and hadn't returned yet, it wasn't possible to wait for him to come back and drive the car away before considering this issue.

  These days, he has been driving this car and it's very smooth. Sunan already likes this model and won't consider others anymore. At that time, just go to the 4S store and buy a BMW X6 directly.
