Chapter 60 Sanjiu Cold Spirit
After allowing all the medicinal powder in the medicine mill to form crystalline particles, Gu Chan secretly withdrew her spiritual energy.
Zhou Dachuan came to his senses, stared at her and asked, "Who is this miracle doctor in our Tiancang Kingdom that you are talking about? Our Tiancang Kingdom has been established for more than a hundred years, and I have never heard of any miracle doctor recorded in history who said this Words!”
"Does a miracle doctor have to have historical records? Since he is called a miracle doctor, he must not be interested in fame and fortune." Gu Chan responded quickly.
When Zhou Dachuan heard this, he felt it was reasonable and nodded.
Little did he know that Gu Chan was deceiving him!
Gu Chan didn't say much on this issue and quickly changed the subject, "Okay, the newly developed medicine is ready."
"What's the name of this medicine?" Zhou Dachuan asked.
"Let's call it... Sanjiu Cold Ling!" Gu Chan tilted her head and thought for a moment before opening her mouth.
Zhou Dachuan looked at her blankly, "This name is so weird! I've never heard of it! I know Sanjiu is a number, but what does the word "cold" mean?"
"Cold means wind-cold, but it's just a different way of saying it." Gu Chan explained with a smile.
Zhou Dachuan was speechless.
Gu Chan ignored him and immediately went to the counter to find a small palm-sized cloth bag. She picked up the crystallized medicine granules in the medicine grinder and put it in. She filled most of the bag and handed it to Zhou Dachuan, "This bag sells for at least RMB 8. Ten articles.”
"Ah? So expensive? A pair of medicines for treating wind and cold only costs twenty cents! Yours is four times more expensive. Can you sell it?" Zhou Dachuan was surprised.
Gu Chan nodded affirmatively.
Just then an old woman came into the drug store with a cane.
"Ah sneeze!"
As soon as she came in, she opened her mouth and sneezed, and then her nose ran down.
Zhou Dachuan immediately asked, "Old lady, what's wrong with you?"
"I didn't cover myself with a quilt last night, so I caught a cold. Shopkeeper, please give me some medicine!" the old woman explained uncomfortably.
Gu Chan didn't wait for Zhou Dachuan's reply and immediately seized the opportunity to sell it, "Grandma, our pharmacy has just developed a special medicine for treating wind and cold called Sanjiu Ganmaoling. Do you want to try it?"
"How much does it cost?" the old woman asked.
"Not much, eighty cents."
"It's too expensive. I'll just have something ordinary."
"Okay, grandma, I'll just give you a bag to eat. If you feel better after taking it, please help me promote this new medicine. If you don't feel good after taking it, I'll pay you eighty cents. What do you think? "Gu Chan rolled his eyes and said with a sly expression.
When the old woman heard that there was such a good thing, she quickly nodded in agreement.
Gu Chan stood up happily and helped her sit on a chair nearby. She took the bag of medicine from Zhou Dachuan's hand and shouted to the store clerk, "Brother, bring me half a bowl of hot water." Come here with a pair of chopsticks.”
"Okay!" The waiter responded from a distance and immediately ran to the kitchen.
Soon he came over with half a bowl of hot water, put it on the table, and handed a chopstick into Gu Chan's hand.
Gu Chan directly poured half of the bag of medicine into the hot water, and then stirred it up with chopsticks.
The medicine quickly melted into the hot water, turning the white hot water into a gray-brown liquid.
The old woman lowered her head and smelled the bowl of medicine. "Don't tell me, your new medicine smells good. It has a refreshing and sweet taste."
"You drink it first! You will know after you drink it." Gu Chan said with a smile.
Then she picked up the bowl of medicine and handed it to the old woman. The old woman held the bowl with both hands, put the medicine to her mouth and drank it. After only taking the first sip, her eyes lit up and she said, "Yeah! It's quite sweet, not bitter at all, and easy to swallow. It's great." It’s a bit like drinking sugar water.”
"Hurry up and finish your drink before we talk." Gu Chan urged.
The old woman said no more and quickly drank the entire bowl of medicine.
Gu Chan took the empty bowl from her hand and put it on the table. She looked at the old woman with a smile on her face and said, "Sit and wait for a while! Don't leave in a hurry. Although this medicine is a special medicine, it doesn't mean you should drink it right away." It will take some time for it to take effect.”
"Okay, I happen to be tired." The old woman nodded in agreement.
Then she sat on the chair and waited.
Zhou Dachuan quickly pulled Gu Chan aside and whispered in her ear, "Will this medicine work? Don't drink people to death in a while, or I will be in trouble."
"Don't worry, there's no way anyone could die. At worst, the medicine won't be effective."
"I hope it will be effective." Zhou Dachuan looked worried.
Gu Chan seemed very calm.
This medicine was originally made from cold grass and refreshing fruit. It just added sugar. How could it kill someone?
Just like Gu Chan said, at worst, the medicine is not very effective and it is absolutely impossible to endanger people's lives.
It's just that now that the old woman has just drank the medicine, the effect of the medicine does not take effect so quickly. After a while, the effect of the medicine kicks in, and you will know whether the effect is good or not.
Just when Zhou Dachuan was worried, Ma Zheng came down from upstairs wearing new clothes.
When Gu Chan looked back, her eyes suddenly brightened.
In the past, Ma Zheng looked shabby every day and wore shabby clothes. He looked like a poor boy from the countryside, and he could not be seen in a crowd.
But now that he took a shower and put on new clothes, he suddenly became much more handsome, and his energy level also improved a lot.
Gu Chan had to admit that as expected, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. In the future, they should make more money and buy more good clothes for themselves. Otherwise, the local dog will only become more and more stupid and will never become a phoenix.
Ma Zhengze walked up to Gu Chan and asked stupidly, "Boss, why are you staring at me? Does this suit of clothes not fit you and I look weird?"
"It's okay. You look good in your clothes. We have to treat ourselves better in the future. We spend the money we earn, so we can't treat ourselves badly."
"Yeah! I'll listen to the boss." Ma Zheng agreed obediently.
Gu Chan nodded with satisfaction, calmed down, walked to the chair next to him, sat down and waited.
After one stick of incense.
The old woman who had just been sitting quietly on the chair suddenly began to have sweat beads on her forehead, and her face turned red. She gasped and said, "It's so hot! It's so hot that I'm covered in sweat. This medicine It seems to be working."
"It's over. Is the effect of the medicine a bit strong?" Zhou Dachuan hurried forward to ask, preparing to check the old woman's physical condition.
Gu Chan stretched out her hand to stop him, "Don't worry, this is a normal process of sweating. The fact that she can be so hot proves that this medicine is indeed very powerful. Once she finishes sweating, the cold will be gone."
"But she doesn't look right like this!" Zhou Dachuan was still worried.
Gu Chan held him tightly and wouldn't let go.
The old woman was getting hotter and hotter, and soon she collapsed on the chair, her eyes wide open and she couldn't move.
Zhou Dachuan's face turned pale with fright, and he kept reaching out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
