Doctor Xu resisted the urge to roll his eyes and pointed at her. “I knew there would be more trouble.”
Shu Yu argued, “Doctor Xu, don’t accuse me. I haven’t said my request yet.” “Then tell me.”
“I think so. About the recipe, I can sell it to you at a lower price. But…” Before Doctor Xu’s eyes lit up, Shu Yu quickly changed the topic. “In the future, if you sell a bottle of this scar removal cream, give me 5% of it. How about that?” 5% was not a lot.
According to Doctor Xu’s standard of charge, she estimated that her scar removal cream would cost at least ten or twenty taels. If she asked for 5% of it, it would only cost one tael at most.
It was already very few.
Shu Yu mainly wanted to give her family another way out. The shop was not on the right track yet, and she did not know what would happen in the future. She had to leave a way out for the Lu family.
Doctor Xu was startled and began to ponder carefully in his heart.
The cost of this scar removal cream was not high. The medicine that he saw Shu Yu grab last time did not require many precious medicinal herbs.
His profit was still very large, 5%…
Although it was a little painful, it was not impossible.
“If it’s half done, then how much is this recipe worth?”
“One hundred and fifty taels.” Shu Yu clicked her tongue.” How is it? Cheap, right?”
Listening to the side of the whole process, Lu Erbai was speechless. Was this cheap?
Doctor Xu felt that it was within his acceptable range. After all, his medical center had always charged high fees. Moreover, this scar removal cream could be sold to the capital in the future. At that time, the price would increase several times.
This thing was a rare good thing for those rich and powerful families.
His original estimate was three hundred taels, but now that it was halved, he was still very happy.
“Alright, I’ll get you some silver.”
Lu Erbai stared blankly at his departing back and sighed, “Doctor Xu is a straightforward person.” He didn’t even know how to bargain.
Shu Yu drank a cup of tea. Today was indeed the day of the G.o.d of Fortune’s visit.
However, she had spent almost all the money she had on her, and now she had made up for it.
Doctor Xu quickly took out the banknote and Shu Yu prescribed in front of him.
The transaction between the two parties was very pleasant. Shu Yu happily put away the silver notes in her hand. “Then I’ll count on Doctor Xu’s business to be prosperous so that I can share the profits.”
Doctor Xu snorted lightly. “You’re opening for business tomorrow. I wish you a great opening as well.”
“Thank you.”
Shu Yu once again helped Lu Erbai onto the mule carriage. However, this time, she didn’t get on the cart. Instead, she led the mule forward slowly.
When she pa.s.sed by the hawker selling candied haws, she bought seven sticks of candied haws and gave one to Sanya. Lu Erbai kept the rest so that they could each get a stick when they got home.
Sanya looked at the candied haws in her hands, her eyes shining.
“Second Sister, candied haws, I have never eaten it.” In the past, every time Aunt came to the county town, she would bring back a stick of candied haws for Dabao.
Dabao was very detestable. Every time, he would deliberately run in front of her and her brother and bite them in front of them with a look of enjoyment.
Every time Sanya ran away, but when there was no one, she would lick her lips, fantasizing about herself eating candied haws, sour and sweet, as if it was a delicacy in the world.
Today, she finally got to eat it.
Lu Erbai looked at his little daughter, feeling a little sour in his heart.
Of the seven sticks of candied haws, Shu Yu had bought one for each of them.
Lu Erbai took out his skewer. “Sanya likes it. I’ll share mine with you and
Dahu..”
