Chapter 252
On the bed, two people cuddle together intimately, enjoying the quiet of the night.
“Should we tell Mom and Dad about this!”Haoden Ye broke the silence.
“No need, you also said that this money was managed for the Holander family at that time, and since it’s not your own money, there’s no need to tell them!”Maya Shen’s voice was gentle.
“What about my pharmacy, should I let Mom and Dad know?”Haoden Ye recalled the cooperation dao with his Spiritual Medicine Hall.
“It’s not necessary, you’re just starting out in your business and there’s no telling what the future outcome will be!”Maya Shen still disagreed.
After waking up and eating in the morning, Haoden Ye rushed to his pharmacy.
When he arrived at the door, he saw Jiao Yuchun chatting with Lin cheng.
I can tell that Jiao Yuchun seems to be trying very hard to make fun of Lin Xiang, but unfortunately Lin Xiang is neither cold nor hot to anyone, and his jokes don’t move his face at all.
“I say Dr. Ye, why is this clerk of yours like a log, she doesn’t even laugh at all the jokes I tell!”Seeing Haoden Ye coming, Jiao Yuchun smiled bitterly.
“Huh?You want to make me laugh too?I don’t know how many comedians are chasing me, but I’m already immune!”As if Lin Xiang did not hear his words, he turned to make tea.
“Why is Dr. Jiao free today?”Haoden Ye curiously told Jiao Yuchun.
“It’s not even about that batch of drugs!”Jiao Yuchun rubbed his hands and he smiled.
“I went back and tried the recipe you gave us, but the efficacy is nothing compared to what you made, my master asked me to come and see how you concocted the medicine!Drop by to see if you’ve made any new medicines.”
Upon hearing this, Haoden Ye understood in his mind the purpose of Jiao Yuchun’s visit.
I’m afraid it’s a lie to learn how to make medicine from yourself, and it’s true to see if you have any new herbs to make.
Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Haoden Ye certainly didn’t hide anything and brought Jiao Yuchun to the apothecary room.
After returning from the countryside, Haoden Ye searched his mind for those pills that could be refined using rock flowers.
Don’t tell me, there were really several kinds of pills, and Haoden Ye chose the one with the lowest cost, but the largest audience.
This herb is specifically designed to cleanse the lungs and is suitable for people who smoke.
Although he could see through his mind, Haoden Ye didn’t say anything, but smiled slightly and said, “That’s good, I happen to be refining a new medicine, see if you can elaborate on it!”
Inside the alchemy room, Haoden Ye took out the freshly burned pill powder and placed it in his palm to observe.
“It still doesn’t work, I didn’t expect the medicinal properties to change so much with just one missing herb!”Shaking his head in disappointment, Haoden Ye sighed.
“That’s not good enough!”Jiao Yuchun stared at the medicine in Haoden Ye’s hand with both eyes glowing, “If I’m not wrong, this should be a lung-clearing medicine, don’t look bad, it’s stronger than our Spiritual Medicine Hall’s current top-notch formula, and it’s not expensive!”
He was right, the best lung-clearing medicine from the Spiritual Medicine Hall was now called Qingfeng Dew, all of which were top quality herbs that cleared lungs and relieved coughs very well, but the lowest cost was over 10,000, so the medicine was more expensive by comparison, with the lowest cost being 20,000.
And this medicine can’t be imitated at all, because the configuration process is very tedious, even the Spiritual Medicine Hall only produces 700 to 800 copies a year, so this medicine has been flipped to 70,000 to 80,000 on the black market.
Jiao Yuchun had personally configured the herbs and was very familiar with their taste, and the smell of their clear dew was invigorating.
However, compared to this not-so-good-looking herb that Haoden Ye had concocted, their Qingfeng Dew was mediocre.
And he saw Haoden Ye’s refining process with his own eyes, it was very easy.
“Not yet, my pill is a lung-cleansing pill that only ancient emperors could enjoy, called the Jade Dew Pill, and it’s not even a tenth as fruitful as the Jade Dew Pill now!”Haoden Ye shook his head, looking regretful.
“What!Pills that could only be enjoyed by ancient emperors!”Jiao Yuchun’s face changed abruptly.
Of course he knew that many ancient pills were lost, but he didn’t expect Haoden Ye to know how to configure them.
“You said there’s a herb missing, what the hell is it?”Jiao Yuchun rubbed her hands and looked at Haoden Ye with two glowing eyes.
Shaking his head and sighing, Haoden Ye spoke in a low tone, “This herb is now gone!”
As soon as he said that, Jiao Yuchun’s face also pulled down.
“What kind of herbs are they!”Jiao Yuchun frowned.
“Red Swallow!”Haoden Ye’s eyebrows furrowed, according to the Chinese medical texts of the Koi fish, this herb grew on a cliff, yet it wasn’t an expensive medicine, it was very common in ancient times.
“Red Swallow?You’re talking about the blood bird’s nest?”Jiao Yuchun was startled.
“You know this herb?”Haoden Ye looked at him dumbly.
“Of course I know, it’s actually a kind of bird’s nest, one of the worst kinds of bird’s nest, very cheap!”Jiao Yuchun trailed off, “We have a lot of Spiritual Medicine Hall!”
With a surge of surprise in his heart, Haoden Ye looked at Jiao Yuchun dumbly.
But when you think about it, it’s normal, the medicinal books inside the Koi fish are all ancient, and many of the ancient books have different names from the current medicinal herbs.
Or maybe many of the herbs are modern-day made-up names.
Troubling Jiao Yuchun to go to the Spiritual Medicine Hall to bring some Blood Swallow’s Nest, Haoden Ye began to refine the pills.
With the help of the Blood Swallow’s Nest, the pill quickly took shape, and once it was out of the oven again, it turned into a crystal-clear red pill.
Taking it in his hand, Haoden Ye gently squeezed it, but it was very soft.
“That’s amazing, I didn’t know blood bird’s nest was useful for that!”Jiao Yuchun looked pleasantly surprised as he sniffed the pills, and immediately a fragrance entered his nostrils, creating a cool and comfortable feeling in his chest.
After inhaling the aroma of the pills once, the air he breathed again felt heavy, as if the air around him was a pollution.
“Doctor Ye, can this kind of pill also work with our Spiritual Medicine Hall?”Feeling the effects of the medicine, Jiao Yuchun’s face showed excitement.
“Sure. I can still give you the formula, just split it as usual!”Haoden Ye was very generous.
Upon hearing this, Jiao Yuchun smiled bitterly and shook his head, “There’s no need to give us the formula!”Saying that, he sighed, “I’ve carefully observed your process of refining pills, it’s really too tedious, it’s very difficult to master the fire and so on!”
Nowadays, people relied too much on modern science, and even more so on medicine, and medicine alchemists like Haoden Ye were pretty much gone.
The Spiritual Medicine Hall is considered to be a traditional Chinese medical school, but they only know a little bit of this traditional alchemy technique.
The fire, the rationing of drugs, the time to add drugs, all must be strictly controlled, these alone will take years to learn, not to mention mastered.
“So!”Haoden Ye was somewhat disappointed, he also wanted to spread the medicinal formula inside the Koi fish.
Chapter 253
“Well then, how about refining the herbs at my place and rationing your Spiritual Medicine Hall’s supply every month?”As things turned out, Haoden Ye could only refine the medicine himself.
“Haha, I knew you were righteous, Doctor Ye!”Jiao Yuchun laughed and said, “For the sake of you being so righteous, I’ll give you a few reductions on the number of times you work for our Spiritual Medicine Hall on a voluntary basis!”Jiao Yuchun was also very righteous.
Dumbfounded, Haoden Ye remembered that he had promised to oblige him to work for him, and his mind couldn’t help but smile.
“Let’s forget about that for now, give me one of these pills!”After the business discussion, Jiao Yuchun picked up the pills and swallowed them in one gulp.
A fresh and natural feeling surged through his body, especially his lungs, as if he was soaking in cool spring water, and the impurities were all clear.
“The effect is truly magical!”Jiao Yuchun took a deep breath, when he felt as if the air around him carried a fragrance: “This lung-clearing medicine sells for ten or twenty thousand a piece!”
Shaking his head for a bitter laugh, Haoden Ye smiled and said, “This herb is mainly for smokers, taking one can clear the turbid air from the lungs, and within three, it can remove the damage that tobacco gives to the lungs, it can also help quit smoking!”
“So that’s it!”Jiao Yuchun nodded lightly at the words.
“I don’t think this herb is just for smokers, now that the sandstorm is so bad in Kyoto and the air quality is very poor, this herb is definitely selling well!By the way, how much are you going to price it?”
Haoden Ye had also been very hesitant about pricing.
On the one hand he wanted anyone, rich or poor, to have the opportunity to take this herb, but the amount of herbs he could refine on a daily basis was really limited, and until a good alchemist was trained, this herb supply was a problem.
But if it’s too expensive to sell, there are a lot of people who really need the herb and can’t eat it.
“Let’s see, priced at two thousand, what do you think?”Haoden Ye hesitated.
“Two thousand?”Jiao Yuchun stared at it and shook his head repeatedly, “Of course not, this medicine is so effective, the starting price is at least 10,000 yuan, otherwise how can we sell the Qingfeng Dew from the Spiritual Medicine Hall?”
Haoden Ye smiled bitterly, he really couldn’t make up his mind, so he could only say, “The price you Spiritual Medicine Hall set, it’ll be fine if the price is uniform on my side then!”
The discussion was settled, and Jiao Yuchun left happily with a pill in hand.
Haoden Ye wanted to refine some jade dew pills again, and suddenly thought of Lin Yao.
Even if she was cured, she would need to refine some of her own medicine in the future, and if she taught her her own medicine refining skills, she might be able to save more effort in the future.
Thinking of this, he asked Lin cheng to close the pharmacy and teach him the secret of making medicine himself.
At the same time, inside the Universal Hotel in Kyoto, Professor Hua held a silver needle in his hand and inserted it into the middle of the chest of a beautiful woman lying across the bed.
Beautiful suddenly heavenly posture, the young woman charm is charming, and she is now not a piece of upper body wisp, let a few men look around, pretty face has a scarlet one.
But those men had no fascination on their faces, not even bothering to look at the beautiful woman’s perfect body.
“Subtle!It’s so subtle!”Seeing Professor Hua place the needle, a gray-haired old man clapped his hands and praised, “I never thought there would be such a subtle needle technique in this world, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it!”
A few middle-aged people beside him also nodded, and one of them looked at Professor Hua with jealousy in his eyes.
“Professor Hua is worthy of being the pillar of our Spiritual Medicine Hall, and was able to research such an exquisite needle technique!This moment Miss Xu’s illness is saved!”
The beautiful woman on the bed had surprise in her eyes at the news, and since she had the disease, she had launched into show business, her flourishing acting career almost cut short.
In the past two years, I’ve traveled all over the world and tried both Chinese and Western medicine, but no doctor has been able to treat it.
“Professor Wahl, thank you so much!”Miss Xu’s eyes were moist.
“Oh!”Professor Hua accepted the needles, beads of sweat falling from his forehead, “Miss Xu is over-praised, the person who gets the most credit for your recovery is not me, but the person who taught me this set of needles!”
“Huh?”A few people around them were surprised at the news.
Several of them were the leading practitioners of Chinese medicine in China, people who could rival Professor Hua in their medical skills, but none of them knew this needle technique.
“Professor Hua what are you joking about, your medical skills are evident to us all, who else can instruct you above kind?”The middle-aged man from just now left his mouth open, taking it only as a sign that Professor Hua was being modest.
“Professor Li, you’ve really misunderstood, this set of needles was indeed taught to me by a little brother, and his needle technique is unknown how much higher than mine, if he were to treat Miss Xu, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to use it for three minutes!”Professor Hua was very sincere.
At his words, everyone in the room stared at him.
Professor Hua is not only an excellent doctor, but also a highly skilled acupuncturist, even he needs three hours to complete the acupuncture technique, but someone can complete it in three minutes.
“Professor Wahl!You’re a highly respected figure in the TCM world, so you can’t say anything nonsense!”
“We all know how hard acupuncture is to learn, even if someone started learning it from their mother’s womb, it would take them thirty or forty years to learn to our level, how could they be the little brother you’re talking about?”Professor Lee was immediately displeased, and the others nodded along.
It’s just that Miss Xu on the bed is also curious, she’s been in the entertainment industry for really many years, she’s also considered an older sister, if there’s such a powerful person, she wouldn’t know?
Seeing the distrustful looks from everyone, Professor Hua laughed bitterly for a while, “Hey, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, if this little brother hadn’t been so low-key, I would have wanted to tell you guys his name!”
“Well, in the end, it’s still a cover-up!”Professor Lee’s eyes narrowed, his mind pondering.
“With Professor Hua’s identity, he shouldn’t be lying to us, I never thought he would have such a powerful friend, if we find out who he is, with my connections in the capital, I can guarantee that he can soar to the top, and he won’t teach me all his skills?”
But wanting someone with such skills, how could Professor Hua tell them, Professor Li’s eyes rolled back and he laughed.
“That’s right, our Spirit Medicine Hall’s Young First Generation Chinese Medicine Competition is about to begin, and my good disciple Lin Feng would love to compete with your disciple Jiao Yuchun!”
Hearing his words, the faces of the crowd became embarrassed.
Who didn’t know that Lin Feng was a member of the Lin family, and relying on the Lin family’s wealth, he had obtained a lot of Chinese medical texts and studied even more under the Lin family’s Chinese medical experts.
In all the previous TCM competitions, Lin Feng was always first, and Professor Hua’s disciple Jiao Yuchun was second at most once.
Chapter 254
After a day of making pills, he finally managed to teach Lin Xiang some basic techniques.
He had a lot of herbs anyway, so she’d just have to let her practice on her own at night.
In the evening, Haoden Ye brought a few pills home with him.
“Pills?”At the table, Robert Shen frowned at the red mass in the palm of Haoden Ye’s hand and said, “You said this is a pill?”
Milda Hao and the others also each had one in their hands, and all of them were looking at the Yulu Pill with their eyes raised.
“Well, I just made this pill, it’s very effective in clearing the lungs and relieving coughs, and there are many more that will be officially sold tomorrow after we get the paperwork from the FDA!”Haoden Ye was filled with joy.
“Bang!”As soon as the words fell, Robert Shen’s face darkened and he glared at Haoden Ye.
“Haoden Ye, I can’t believe you’ve learned these falsehoods now, do you think your father is a feudal superstition?Would you believe in something like pills?Which of the immortal alchemists is not mercury poisoned?”
It was Maya Shen who also had a shady face, “Haoden Ye, did you read some weird book again and get tricked, those ancient alchemy techniques were all lies, although the refined pills tasted good, but they were all chronic poisoning!”
Seeing the family’s faces, Haoden Ye couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
How could he forget that his family couldn’t keep up with him in concept!
Hastily shaking his head, Haoden Ye said, “Dad, Mom, Maya, don’t worry, this herb of mine is approved by the FDA, and the people from the Spiritual Medicine Hall have personally come over to appraise it, to ensure that it’s not dangerous!”
“FDA approved?”
“An appraisal from the Hall of Elixir?”
Hearing his words, the family all stared at him, and Robert Shen looked incredulous, “You said that the people from the FDA and the Spiritual Medicine Hall think your medicine is fine?How is that possible?”
Although Milda Hao also found it untrustworthy, but thinking that Haoden Ye didn’t have to lie about such things, she thought for a moment, “Old Shen, since people from the FDA have said so, why don’t we give it a try!”
“No!You’re not allowed to eat this stuff, and tomorrow I’ll go to the FDA and ask them how the hell they regulate herbs!”Robert Shen doesn’t even believe in the FDA anymore.
“Just you can, people from the FDA are worse than you!”Milda Hao didn’t buy her husband’s account, and swallowed the pills without saying a word.
Robert Shen and Maya Shen were both shocked and stared at Milda Hao.
After taking the medicine, a comfortable look appeared on her face, and the whole person seemed to relax instantly, like being in a refreshing place surrounded by mountains and rivers.
Soon, however, she frowned, her face became embarrassed, and she opened her mouth to dry heave.
“What’s going on!”Robert Shen was shocked and walked up to Milda Hao, looking angry at Haoden Ye, “Look at what you’ve done, I told you there was something wrong with this medicine!”
Maya Shen looked nervous and turned her head to look at Haoden Ye, hoping that he would give an explanation.
Haoden Ye didn’t have any panic, and Lin Xiang had the same reaction after taking the pills.
Sure enough, soon Milda Hao shook her head and pushed her husband away, “It’s not the medicine, it’s that after I took this medicine, I smelled a particularly foul sweat!”After saying that, she pushed Robert Shen again, “Did you eat stinky tofu, it stinks so bad!”
“Huh?”Robert Shen stayed, he had indeed eaten stinky tofu this morning.
He was from Sandcastle, and the Sandcastle-style snack was deep-fried stinky tofu, which Milda Hao had always hated, so he didn’t need to eat it.
Robert Shen can only secretly eat a little bit in the morning, and then chew gum all day to cover the taste of the mouth, usually at night Milda Hao can not smell out.
“Do you smell me eating stinky tofu?”Robert Shen looked embarrassed and surprised at the same time.
Maya Shen was also surprised and looked at the herbs in her hand, hesitantly finally swallowing them in one bite.
Soon, a fresh, natural smell irrigates the entire body, especially the chest, and it feels very relaxing.
“Well…Comfortable!”Maya Shen couldn’t help but let out a comforting whisper and inhaled, and indeed the smell of stinky tofu came out.
“Dad, the stinky tofu you’re eating smells awful!”Maya Shen also covered her nose.
Robert Shen looked even more embarrassed, while looking down at the pill in his palm, mentally wondering, “Is this medicine really this effective?”
Only here did Robert tentatively take one and immediately felt the effects of the medicine.
A man’s lungs are more vulnerable than a woman’s, and Robert Shen felt it especially strongly.
“Comfortable, indeed!”Robert Shen was pleasantly surprised to find that he could breathe easier and was much more sensitive to the smell sensations around him.
Seeing the family reveal their comfortable identities, Haoden Ye was relieved.
“Little Leaf, where did you learn to make this medicine so powerful!”
“It must be very costly for this medicine to be so effective!”
Milda Hao and Maya Shen surprised Haoden Ye at the same time, Milda Hao was concerned about where her son-in-law had learned the recipe for refining this medicine, while Maya Shen was more concerned about the business side.
“I learned this kind of medicine from that man, and as for the cost, it’s only three to five hundred!”Haoden Ye answered their questions one by one.
“That guy?”Robert Shen revealed a confused look, “Which one?”
Maya Shen and Milda Hao, however, knew who Haoden Ye was talking about, and simultaneously revealed a look of being in the clear.
“At a cost of three to five hundred dollars, based on the efficacy, I should be able to sell it for one to two thousand, how many of these pills do you refine every day?”Maya Shen looked agitated.
“The selling price will have to be set by the Spirit Medicine Hall, but the minimum cannot be less than twenty thousand a piece!”Haoden Ye thought about it.
“What?Why are you letting them price your drugs!”Maya Shen immediately pursed her lips, “They must be drawing a very large percentage!”
With a cost of three to five hundred dollars and selling for over twenty thousand, the Spiritual Medicine Hall draw must be surprisingly high.
Now do business are like this, for example, jade, in fact, after mining and polishing jade sellers are very low, but to the store inside the marriage is several times higher!
“Yeah, can’t we sell this medicine ourselves?Why should I work with them!”Milda Hao also fought injustice for Haoden Ye.
“Wait, you guys say who that guy is first!”Robert Shen frowned.
“You’ve misunderstood, the Spirit Medicine Hall draws according to profit, they take 20% of a pill and give me 80% of the profit!”Haoden Ye quickly answered his mother-in-law and wife.
“What!”Both of them were very surprised to hear this, and Milda Hao dumbfoundedly said, “Would Spiritual Medicine Hall give up such a large profit?You can’t be fooled!”
Maya Shen also didn’t believe that the Spiritual Medicine Hall would give up such high profits, feeling as if Haoden Ye was being screwed by the Spiritual Medicine Hall.
