Chapter 674: 674 Pharmaceutical
The three men liked the roasted duck so much that they finished all three they ordered.
"Life in the capital is truly better," sighed Zhan Yunzhao.
Zeng Yixin and Wei Guangxiang both nodded. Although they were from the South, the roasted duck suited their taste.
Indeed, several people were waiting in the hall, so the five of them left after they were full.
"I went to the pharmacy to buy some wax pills this morning and only got a hundred, which isn’t nearly enough. You guys should try it."
Wei Guangxiang nodded, "I’ll take a look."
The other four people waited outside. Mainly because they had to come buy them in the future, and if people recognized them, how would they keep coming?
About ten minutes later, Wei Guangxiang came out holding a cardboard box.
"This is a hundred as well. They won’t sell more than that."
Su Yuanyuan laughed, "You’re much better than me. I had to coax for a long time just to buy a hundred."
Back at home, they continued to work. This time, Su Yuanyuan had to help with mixing, which required strength, but it was during this task that she could sneak in some Spiritual Spring Water.
She added just half a cup before she dared not add more, fearing it would be too obvious.
They were busy until past five, making a hundred pills. There would be some left to make dozens more at night, and they could divide more among Daqing and the others.
Su Yuanyuan was never stingy with those who treated her well.
"Yuanyuan, let’s have dinner at home tonight; there’s still duck frame left."
"Sure, but I’m really average at making soup."
"Yixin can do it; let’s wait for the pancake duck frame soup."
Just then, the door was knocked on, and Wei Guangxiang went to open it.
Su Yuanyuan knew it was Yang Chunsheng who arrived.
"Yuanyuan, have you returned?"
"I’ve been back for three days. Are you off work?"
"Yeah, off work, came out to check. Your family’s place, surprisingly, is occupied."
After washing her hands, Su Yuanyuan went to the living room with Yang Chunsheng.
"How’s it been this year?"
"Not bad. I’ve already bought a house, and our director introduced me to someone. She’s a salesperson at the local supply store."
"How is it?" Su Yuanyuan poured Yang Chunsheng a cup of hot water.
"Not bad. I’m planning to take her home to meet my family these days."
"You should let Uncle and Aunt take a look. They must be eager."
"My mom has been rushing me a few times. Yuanyuan, aren’t you going home?"
"Just tell them my work is really busy."
"Yuanyuan, if you keep not going home, I think my mom will come visit."
"I’m leaving in a while too. Tell Aunt not to come over. The chances of coming back in the next few years aren’t high either."
"Yuanyuan, are you going out again?"
"Yes, there’s still some things to do. Are you having dinner at home tonight?"
Yang Chunsheng shook his head, "Going to my girlfriend’s house for dinner tonight. Not staying."
After seeing off Yang Chunsheng, Zeng Hongling came over, "Is that your relative?"
"Yes, we’re from the same village. When I was abandoned as a child, it was his mother who treated me well."
"Your family really has no vision, abandoning you like that?"
"I was born on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. In the North, it’s considered inauspicious for women to be born on that day."
"So they abandoned you? No real parents would do such a thing."
Dinner had just been served when the door was knocked on again. This time it was Qin Zhiyuan who came over.
Su Yuanyuan went to open the door herself, "Secretary Qin, is there something you need?"
"Mr. Su, the leader asked me to tell you that the pills he used were very effective, and the main leader wants me to bring people over tomorrow."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Got it, I’ll be waiting at home tomorrow."
She did not keep Qin Zhiyuan for dinner. At the table, she mentioned that people would come by tomorrow.
They worked until eleven at night, mainly to finish making the Blood Stopping Pills, so that from tomorrow onwards they could start with the health preservation pill.
The next day, the five of them went out for breakfast. They couldn’t get used to the tofu pudding here. After all, they were used to eating it sweet.
"Yuanyuan, can this stuff really be salty?"
"This is the difference between the North and South, I can’t stand the sweet taste from your place."
Waiting for Qin Zhiyuan to arrive, the five of them began studying other elixir formulas.
"Yuanyuan, will we be making these in the future?"
"What’s wrong with that? It can dispel your karmic wrongdoings and make money."
Zhan Yunzhao wrote out three elixir recipes. They didn’t understand them.
"Seems like we have to start learning pharmacology afresh."
"There are some books in my study; you can go take a look yourself." Indeed, they should learn pharmacology, or else they wouldn’t understand the compatibilities and conflicts, and things might go wrong.
It wasn’t until after nine that Qin Zhiyuan arrived with three others.
Su Yuanyuan spoke quite frankly, "Guys, these are the secret formulas from Daoist Zhan, meaning even if you know the formula today, we’ll pursue the matter if it’s found on the market later. We are making things clear from the start."
The three of them looked every bit the veteran traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, but no matter what, what’s said must be said first.
"We guarantee it, and Mr. Qin is here to testify."
"Thank you very much. Were it not for the main leader’s needs, we wouldn’t have revealed the formula."
Zhan Yunzhao felt a faint sense of gratitude. This was truly for his benefit. He had thought that once the formula was out, it would be gone, but Xiao Su had already thought this through.
Although it was just a verbal agreement, these should all be talents in the industry. Even if they took a liking to the formula, they probably wouldn’t do anything contrary to their principles.
Su Yuanyuan didn’t understand these matters and left the discussion to the other four.
Qin Zhiyuan watched Su Yuanyuan with a smile, "Mr. Su, the leader said you would definitely be like this."
"Yeah, this is my friend’s formula. Why should I demand someone give it away? It’s just for the main leader; I wouldn’t give it to anyone else."
"Hehe, that’s even better. Rest assured, we won’t treat your friend unfairly."
"That’s best. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to explain to my friend."
"Su Yuanyuan, this morning Zhang Chunsheng brought over all the confessions."
"I only want double retribution for the Cao Family, and also double for those three main ones, the rest I don’t care about."
Qin Zhiyuan understood what Su Yuanyuan meant: anything related to Tan Shaoting was something she wouldn’t let go of.
"Leader Zeng has already given instructions; no one in the Cao Family will be spared."
Su Yuanyuan nodded. It wasn’t that she was venting anger unnecessarily, but those three kids were so innocent, so there were no innocent parties. Also, after learning that Cao Minzhu was the one giving advice to Hou Wanzhong, her hatred for the Cao Family surpassed that for the Hou Family.
She was also self-aware enough not to blame solely because they harmed Tan Shaoting, but achieving her goal was enough.
