Chapter 993: Reselling Life-Saving Miracle Drugs
Xie Yi decided to find another pharmacy and scrape off some more elixir powder to sell.
The last pharmacy was in the west of the city, but this time he went to the east of the city and found the largest pharmacy.
As soon as he walked in, he heard a man who looked like a servant talking to a pharmacy clerk.
"Sigh, the doctor said that my master is probably going to pass away in the next day or two. Buying this medicine is just to show our young master's filial piety."
The shopkeeper nodded in agreement, "Your young master is indeed filial. This dose of medicine costs more than ten taels of silver, but it's all just thrown into the water."
After a few sighs, the servant picked up the medicine bag and prepared to leave the pharmacy.
Xie Yi quickly stopped him and asked, "How old is your husband?"
If they are too old, even if they are saved, they won't live for more than a few years, and they might not be willing to spend too much money. He needs to find out first.
Seeing his appearance, the servant knew he was no ordinary man and hurriedly replied respectfully, "Our master is only fifty-two years old."
Upon hearing that he was so young, Xie Yi immediately asked, "Is your master wealthy? I have some life-saving items here that can save your master, but they won't be cheap."
The servant's eyes lit up, but then he asked suspiciously, "Money is not a problem, but even the best doctor in the county, Dr. Hu, is helpless. My master is on his last breath. Can you save him, young master?"
Xie Yi immediately said happily, "Take me there, and we'll know soon enough whether I can be saved."
If someone else had said that, the servant certainly wouldn't have actually taken the person back.
But Xie Yi's appearance as a wealthy young master made the servant dare not offend him, so he had no choice but to take him back.
The servant's master was surnamed Luo, and he was one of the wealthiest families in Shou'an County.
When Xie Yi was led inside and saw the carved beams and painted rafters, and the large number of servants, he knew that his business deal was secure.
Seeing Xie Yi's extraordinary demeanor, the young master of the Luo family asked with some curiosity, "I wonder why Young Master Xie is willing to bring this life-saving medicine to save my master?"
Xie Yi showed just the right amount of embarrassment. "My elders at home are very strict. I went out to travel, but I gambled away all the money my family gave me. I had to sell my life-saving items to get money. Since your father is beyond saving, why not let me give it a try?"
"If this medicine can save your father, you will pay me 1,500 taels of silver as a life-saving fee. If it cannot, I will not take a single tael. How about it?"
Since it was a desperate gamble and he wouldn't lose anything, the young master of the Luo family immediately agreed.
Then came the moment to witness a miracle.
Mr. Luo, who had been in a coma and was barely clinging to life, miraculously opened his eyes after his son gave him medicine.
The young master of the Luo family cried out in surprise, "Father, Father, how are you feeling?"
Mr. Luo felt a surge of heat flowing through his body, and he suddenly became more energetic.
She sat up on her own without her son's help.
Such a miracle stunned Mrs. Luo and her family members in the room.
Everyone rushed over to ask how Mr. Luo was feeling.
Fearing that his father's condition was a final burst of energy before death, Young Master Luo hurriedly ordered someone to invite Doctor Hu back again.
After taking his pulse, Dr. Hu was also shocked.
This robust vitality is definitely not a last gasp before death!
Xie Yi said impatiently from the side, "Young Master Luo, it's time to pay."
Young Master Luo was not stingy with the 1,500 taels of silver to buy his life, and immediately ordered someone to bring him the silver notes.
Upon hearing this, Doctor Hu immediately bowed to Xie Yi and said, "I wonder if you, young master, still have this life-saving elixir? Or perhaps you could let me smell the bottle containing it."
Young Master Luo looked at Xie Yi with sparkling eyes, "If Young Master Xie has any more of this miraculous medicine, I would be willing to buy another bottle."
Xie Yi's eyes darted around, and he said, "Actually, I divided this life-saving elixir into three portions. The one you gave your father was only one portion. The other two portions are at the inn. If you want them, I'll sell them to you for three thousand taels of silver."
Then he showed the empty bottle that had just contained the medicine to Dr. Hu.
Doctor Hu took the bottle and sniffed it carefully. He then exclaimed, "I can't tell what kind of medicinal herbs were used to make this, but just from the lingering smell in this bottle, I know that this is definitely a miraculous medicine."
Young Master Luo was now in the mood to care about other things. When he saw that the jade used to make the empty jade bottle was a precious jade that he had never seen before, he said, "Young Master Xie, is this jade bottle for sale? I am willing to pay a thousand taels for it."
Xie Yi: What a huge loss! I sold it to the owner of the pharmacy in the west of the city, along with the medicine and the jade bottle, for only a thousand taels.
After agreeing, he pretended to return to the inn, scraped off some more powder, and made two bottles of elixirs.
However, he didn't have many empty jade bottles in his storage bracelet, so Xie Yi had to buy a few ordinary small porcelain bottles to keep on hand.
Young Master Luo spent another two thousand five hundred taels of silver, including the bottle and the medicine.
Dr. Hu bought a bottle of the miracle medicine, which was packaged in an ordinary porcelain bottle.
Xie Yi felt he had found a way to make money.
In just half an hour, he earned 5,500 taels of silver. What business can make money as fast as his?
This is just a small county town. If he were to sell his life-saving medicine all the way to the capital, how much silver would he earn?
And Xie Yi actually did just that.
On his journey to the capital by carriage, a trip that should have taken twenty days, he covered in three months.
By the time they arrived in the capital, they were carrying a huge sum of money, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
After Xie Yi left Shou'an County, Xiao Han could no longer know his whereabouts.
When Xie Yi arrived in the capital, he found Zhao Qingwen's residence according to the address Xiao Han had given him. Xiao Han, acting as the wisp of soul in the system, immediately took over Zhao Qingwen's body upon seeing Xie Yi.
"I am Xiao Han now. How come it took you three months to get to the capital?"
Hearing Zhao Qinghe speak in an unfamiliar yet familiar tone, Xie Yi knew that it was Xiao Han's wisp of soul at work.
Unable to resist teasing, he said, "You still call yourself a deity? Zhao Qinghe looks like she's possessed by a ghost."
He saw the unfamiliar woman opposite him glaring at him, but her eyes were clearly familiar.
Xie Yi quickly added with a smile, "Actually, I've been making money the whole way, which is why it only took me three months."
After saying that, he proudly pulled out a large stack of silver notes and showed them to Xiao Han.
"What kind of business do you run that can earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in just three months?"
Xiao Han was genuinely surprised.
After all, Xie Yi didn't have much capital, and besides, where else could you find such a highly profitable industry?
After Xie Yi finished explaining his way of making money, Xiao Han was completely speechless.
She wants Xie Yi to make money in a respectable way, with a stable industrial chain and sustainable development, not this kind of one-off deal.
But then I thought about it again. Scientific research is the most expensive thing. I should first earn my first pot of gold from the rich, open a factory, and then use the money I earn to invest in scientific research.
However, Xiao Han found herself in trouble again.
She only remembered the name of the spinning jenny and only knew the most basic steam power principle of the steam engine. So, could she really drive the Industrial Revolution?
Xiao Han suddenly felt that she, as a deity, was absolutely terrible!
