Chapter 38


s.p.a.ce and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman - chapter 38 - Medicine-Making Maniac (制药狂人)


It was Jing Yunzhao’s first time doing this (T/N: being in the medicine business) so she nodded, confused . She kept thinking that these people’s eyes were looking at her weirdly .


As expected, that old man laughed, “Little girl, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you . We don’t buy medicinal materials here . These things of yours, unless you go to a personal medicinal spread…but even then, they probably wouldn’t dare to take too much…”


Jing Yunzhao’s body stiffened . She couldn’t understand .


But then she heard that old man continue, “This is a TCM pharmacy . If we were to buy medicinal materials, it would have to be very rare materials or TCM beverages . And most of those TCM beverages all have medicinal plant factories they’re contracted with . Unless the medicine you make is better and cheaper than theirs . ”



Jing Yunzhao’s mind clicked and she instantly understood .

Medicinal plants belong in three categories . Type one has never been altered and is freshly pure . Type two has been parched, roasted, baked, steamed, soaked, simmered, or etc and can be concocted for use right away . And type three are made into medicine using the materials from type two, like the already packaged powdered medicine (you consume it after mixing it with water) sold in stores .


Jing Yunzhao was a bit worried . She had a lot of things stored in her brain, but she didn’t have the knowledge of how reality and these relations worked . That was why she made a mistake .


“Thank you, senior, for your pointers . I now know what to do . But senior, would you accept already cooked medicinal plants (type two) if I bring them?” Jing Yunzhao asked .


Her voice was refres.h.i.+ng, making it pleasing to listen . Along with her brilliant looks, others easily have a good impression of her .


“As long as the quality is good, the store will consider . Oh, little girl, if you’re in a rush to sell those materials in your hands, I know a good place…” The old man thought about it for a while . Looking at how cute and smart Jing Yunzhao seemed to be, he added another sentence .


Jing Yunzhao’s eyes quickly lit up .


“In this county town, there is a grumpy old man who is a medicine-making maniac . No matter the quant.i.ty, as long as the quality of the materials is good, he’ll take it . But his pricing might be cheaper than all the other places . You can give it a try . It’s not very far from here…” The old man said and then told her the address .


(T/N: The grumpy old man is written as 糟老头 which translates to “rotten old man . ” decided not to leave it as rotten old man cuz i know he’s going to be some people’s favorite character later on . )


Jing Yunzhao was a bit hesitant . It was nighttime after all . The place indeed wasn’t far, but it was surrounded by alleyways . There weren’t many people pa.s.sing by .


However, after thinking more about it, Jing Yunzhao decided to go .


She had her s.p.a.ce and she had also practiced some martial arts moves . The chances of something terrible happening to her was quite small . There was no need to worry too much .


After leaving some Pilose Asiabell Roots as thanks, Jing Yunzhao left for the place old man told her .


The lanes had twists and turns . It was nighttime and unlike the big streets, the alleys weren’t brightly lit . She heard the sounds of nightingales from time to time . It was something that would bring chills down people’s spines . If this was in her past life, Jing Yunzhao naturally wouldn’t have to courage to be there . She realized that she now was much braver than she was in her past life . Being in that completely unfamiliar place, she didn’t have a single feeling of fear .


After 30-40 minutes, she finally found the place .


The area had a strange smell . There was the smell of medicine, but there were also other smells, like a burnt smell and corrosive smell . Smells were mixed together . It was strange .


In front of her was a big, s.p.a.cious house with an enclosed yard . The front doors were black and tall, making the place appear heavy yet calm . It gave off a very gloomy vibe . Jing Yunzhao kept noticing noises from the yard, so she chose to knock .


(T/N: I’m a.s.suming it’s not a modern house . It’s more of a traditional Chinese house with a yard in the middle of the property and not in front/back of the house . )


After ten seconds, the doors opened and a not-so-old face appeared .


The person was only in his thirties and looked quite spiritless . He gave Jing Yunzhao a few glances and said, “You have business here?”
