Shengjing Noble

Chapter 335: Arty

Word spread quickly, and soon the Qi-invigorating and kidney-nourishing pills sold by Beicheng Shan De Tang became popular in the streets and alleys.

Mr. Li had many concubines in his early years, and he also kept many mistresses, but he stopped taking concubines after he turned 35.

Some people said that the Li family had invited many doctors to come to the mansion to treat Mr. Li's illness and had prescribed many medicines, but to no avail.

In a blink of an eye, Mr. Li was nearly fifty years old. He no longer went to red-light districts, but instead became interested in fishing and making tea.

On the surface, everyone said that he had changed his nature and was becoming more cultured, but everyone knew behind the scenes that he was not capable of that aspect.

But today, Aunt Liu, the most favored concubine in the Li family, proudly attended the tea party hosted by other ladies.

I heard that during the dinner she boasted that she was trying to get pregnant and might soon give Master Li another boy.

Now, what else don’t everyone understand?

Mr. Li is suddenly fine again?

The heads of the families who were on good terms with or were rivals of the Li family all sent people to inquire.

After all, men's blooming period is short, and once they are over 35, they will be somewhat inferior to before.

Besides, who doesn’t want to feel majestic and powerful in such a situation?

As soon as the news spread at noon, in less than half an hour, a long queue formed outside the Shan De Hall in the north city.

Even ordinary people came to join in the fun.

Although they may not be able to afford it, Su Lanyin has also developed some other affordable medicines for them to choose from.

No matter if you are rich or poor, as long as the medicine can help people, you must make the money you can.

Looking at the money flowing into his account like water, Ye Xi smiled so much that the corners of his mouth were sore. He was so busy that he wished he could split himself in half and grow ten hands to greet the customers.

At this time, there was no one outside the Shan De Hall in Nancheng.

The Ye family father and son were so anxious that they paced back and forth in the room, like ants on a hot pan.

"I heard that our neighbors all went to the North City to buy medicine. This damn bitch actually used such a dirty medicine to attract people."

"If I had known she was so promiscuous, I would have sold her to a brothel! Their business in one day is equal to ours in a month. What should we do now?"

The two looked at each other, suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked at "Su Lanyin" at the counter.

"Miss Su, please think of a solution for us. If we lose, we will be homeless!"

"Yes, yes, Miss Su, aren't you a disciple of the Divine Doctor? You should develop a better herb than these!"

Although "Su Lanyin" was a fake, she also knew a little about medicine. She had been studying it since the servant brought her the prescription.

Just when it came to the critical step, the father and son of the Ye family came and made a noise, making her upset.

"Will you two shut up? I'm busy making medicine!"

Hearing her say this, although the Ye family father and son were unhappy, they did not dare to get angry. They just shut up and waited aside.

About half an hour later, "Su Lanyin" slapped the table and shouted happily: "It's done!"

"What's done?"

The Ye family father and son were almost falling asleep while waiting, and were startled by the shout.

"Su Lanyin" held the bottle of medicine and said, "The stuff is ready. I promise it's exactly the same as what Ye Xi and the others are selling. Put up the sign quickly. Oh, and the price must be lower than theirs too."

"How much do they sell for?" asked Mr. Ye.

The servant who brought the prescription immediately replied, "One hundred taels of silver per pill!"

"So expensive?"

"This is still a discounted price. If the price returns to the original price tomorrow, it will be sold for several hundred taels."

"It's too dark! It's so dark!" Ye Lang couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

This tiny pill was sold at a sky-high price, but there were still some unscrupulous people who were eager to be deceived.

"Su Lanyin" said: "The medicinal materials here are all very rare and precious. One hundred taels per piece is fair. No matter how cheap we sell it, it cannot be lower than the cost."

Ye Lang chuckled and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, we'll make a profit even if we sell it for fifty taels."

Su Lanyin was puzzled: "Fifty taels? Are you kidding? The thousand-year-old ginseng alone must be several dozen taels!"

Ye Lang was about to say something, but was pushed aside by Old Man Ye.

"Oh, I'm familiar with the people in the pharmacy, and the purchase price is cheap."

"Su Lanyin" nodded and put aside her doubts after hearing this.

"That's good, this way we're sure to win!

Ye Lang frowned, wondering why his father didn't let him tell the truth?

The reason why their medicinal materials are cheap is that a large part of them are counterfeit, and the rest are all of the lowest quality products, costing less than one or two taels of silver.

Therefore, Ye Xi and his friends only made a dozen taels from selling one pill, but they were different. They could make a net profit of forty-nine taels from fifty taels!

If they continue like this, their profits will soon exceed Ye Xi's. Wouldn't they be a sure winner in three days?

Even if the customer who buys the medicine finds that it has no effect, it will take ten days or half a month before it works.

By then, they had already won the bet, and Ye Xi was married to the Liu family.

In short, the father and son can rest easy!

Thinking of this, Mr. Ye immediately ordered: "You guys go to North City Shan De Tang with signs and shout, tell them that we have the same kidney-nourishing pills here, and they are half the price!"

"Yes!"

Several servants immediately headed towards the north of the city.

……

Ye Xi's business is booming, and many servants from wealthy families come to buy medicine.

In less than two hours, all the kidney-nourishing pills developed by Su Lanyin were sold out.

Adding some other medicines, her profit today is almost over 10,000 yuan.

But Su Lanyin said that only fifty were made every day and each person was limited to buying two, so once they were sold out we would have to wait until tomorrow.

Those who were waiting in the back of the line, when they saw they couldn’t buy it, immediately became angry and started making a fuss outside.

But Su Lanyin ignored him and said that if he was looking for trouble, she would not sell it to him tomorrow.

Only then did the noisy crowd quiet down and dare not cause trouble anymore.

After all, their master had ordered that they must buy this medicine. If they couldn't buy it, they, the servants, would be in trouble.

Just when he was worrying about how to report back, the servant from the Ye family father and son came running over, banging the gong and shouting.

"Everyone, we also have the Kidney-Nourishing Pill here. It has the same formula and the same efficacy. We only sell it at cost price of 50 taels! Everyone is welcome to come and buy it. The quantity is limited and it’s on a first-come, first-served basis!"

This made those who didn't buy the medicine very happy, and they rushed over to buy it.

Those who bought the medicine immediately quit.

"Did you hear that? With the same formula and efficacy, they sell it for fifty taels, which is still the cost price."

"That means we can earn fifty taels for one pill of this crappy medicine. If we get two pills, that's a hundred taels. Isn't that too shabby?"

"Oh my god, if I had known I would not have bought it. The shopkeeper has to give me a refund. I don't want this crappy medicine of yours anymore!"

……

The people who had just bought the medicine started making a fuss. Suddenly they were so numerous and powerful that the pharmacy guy couldn't resist them.

Ye Xi was also panicked when she saw this, but at this time she was the owner of Shan De Tang, and she had to face these situations and stand up to take responsibility.
