Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside Chapter 608: Almost Died of Anger

Elder Wu picked up the bowl and drank the dicinal soup inside, smacking his lips a couple of tis afterward, nodding in satisfaction.

Gu Jinli didn’t stop him; this kind of dicine for treating cold, cough, and fever is harmless even if taken without illness, and given the cold weather today, it also helps prevent colds.

Elder Wu continued to scan the pharmacy and noticed a row of stoves by the window, with pots similar to dicine jars placed on them.

He walked over, saw so black gelatinous substance in the pot, scooped half a spoonful into his mouth, and after a mont, said, "It’s the sa as the pills I just took. You use these pots to boil the dicinal soup into pills?"

Gu Jinli nodded. "Yes, actually the thod is similar to how malt is boiled into sugar."

After hearing this, Elder Wu turned and glanced at her: "You must be fooling an old man, you definitely added sothing that speeds up solidification. Just boiling couldn’t produce these pills."

However, he couldn’t tell what was added, it seed not to be dicine, but also nothing harmful.

Gu Jinli laughed after hearing this: "You are indeed knowledgeable, nothing can be hidden from you."

"What knowledgeable, I just lived long enough and saw enough things, that’s how I gained experience to spot issues." Elder Wu stood by the window for a while, then turned and walked up to Gu Jinli: "Girl, what did you add? Can you tell the old man?"

He paused for a while before continuing: "I know my request is excessive. When you made Convenient dicine before, I said I just needed to review the prescription, confirm there’s no issue, but now... the old man swallows his pride to ask you, can you..."

"Of course." Even before Elder Wu finished speaking, Gu Jinli had already nodded in agreent: "I will share with you the thod to solidify the dicinal soup and allow you to participate in making Convenient dicine."

Elder Wu was shocked, hardly believing her: "Little Xiao Yu, are you serious? This is risky for you, what if the old man leaks your Convenience dicine secret?"

Gu Jinli smiled and shook her head: "You won’t. I trust you, you’re trustworthy, if we didn’t have this trust, we needn’t continue our business."

She agreed to let Elder Wu participate in making Convenient dicine for two reasons: he is trustworthy, and he is a true physician. His dical skills have saved many lives, and his caution with dicinal materials is admirable.

Gu Jinli is not going to be a physician in this life; she rely wishes to be a layperson making money with dical knowledge, but she respects physicians like Elder Wu.

Elder Wu’s eyes reddened, ever since his daughter and grandson suffered misfortunes, he had fled to Qingfu Town, and it was his dical skills that kept him going. Now, finally finding soone he liked to make dicine with, he was so moved he wanted to cry.

However, Gu Family’s daughter just loves to spoil the mood; while he was touched, she said: "However, you will have to sign a contract with , ensuring you don’t reveal the Convenience dicine secret; otherwise, you’d have to compensate with five hundred thousand taels."

Elder Wu: "..."

He nearly didn’t catch his breath and was almost angered to death by her!

"Five hundred thousand taels, do you want half of Yuanzi Pharmacy!" Elder Wu pointed at her: "I must have been blind. I thought you had changed and were no longer driven by money, but it turns out you never erged from the money pit."

Gu Jinli laughed: "So, do you agree?"

Elder Wu snorted coldly: "Agreed! Forget about those five hundred thousand taels; I will not reveal the making of Convenient dicine."

Gu Jinli smiled as he brought over paper and ink, and began drafting a contract. Once done, he handed it to Doctor Wu: "Please sign here, and press your handprint."

Doctor Wu, looking at the contract before him, asked perplexedly, "Why do you like going to the governnt office and signing contracts so much? Do you know what people outside say about Gu’s Workshop? They say you are weird; everyone fears the governnt, yet your family always rushes to the governnt office. And why sign contracts? In rural areas, most just have a reputable elder vouch to settle things."

Few people sign contracts.

Gu Jinli’s smile remained unwavering as he handed Doctor Wu the brush, "Going to the governnt is the fastest and most effective way to resolve disputes."

If you don’t go to the governnt, rural farrs would bring their whole family to argue over a few cents. Does she really have to stand with hands on her hips and argue back every day?

Besides, with the Jiang Family supporting her family, why wouldn’t she go to the governnt? If waiting for the day when going to the governnt becos useless, she would resort to poisoning as a last resort, which also resolves problems permanently but constantly resorting to poisoning isn’t good, she is a kind person.

Doctor Wu took the contract and the brush, signed his na, and pressed his handprint, then handed the contract back to Gu Jinli, "What did you add? Tell quickly."

Gu Jinli then pulled out a small piece of paper, the size of a palm, wrote a few words on it, and handed it to Doctor Wu.

Doctor Wu’s eyes widened upon seeing it, "Just added this? You really have so nerve; this contract I signed is pointless."

Gu Jinli, still smiling broadly, said, "How could it be pointless? Think about it, many years ago, Lingzhi was seen just as a poisonous mushroom growing in the mountains. But once people recognized its benefits, what’s the price of Lingzhi now? It’s beco as valuable as ginseng."

"The important thing is not the item itself, but how you use it. The one who discovers wonderful uses for mundane items is the real winner."

Doctor Wu laughed, then sternly said "Alright, enough with the chatter, old man. Hurry up and show this Convenient dicine."

"Alright." Gu Jinli imdiately washed her hands and started making Convenient dicine in the pharmacy.

This Convenient dicine she made is essentially like modern White Phoenix Pills, Bezoar Pills, and Rehmannia Pill, considered early types of dicine that could be swallowed as is. Although different from Western pills, they are still very convenient. In an era without Western dicine, such Convenient Pills were used for hundreds of years, up until her passing.

Doctor Wu watched her very closely, not missing a single step. She worked for a few hours, until finally in the afternoon she finished a pot of Convenient dicine paste.

Gu Jinli stopped the fire, "Let it cool for half an hour, roll it into pills, then package them up and it’s done."

Doctor Wu waited until the paste cooled before rolling it into pills and after tasting one, he nodded, "Not bad, tastes just like the pills I had before, the craftsmanship is nearly the sa."

The similarity ensures consistent dicinal effects.

Doctor Wu felt quite reassured.

Then, Gu Jinli began lting wax, "Uncle Dai, put the pills into bottles, twelve per bottle, neither more nor fewer. This is precisely a two-day dose."

For common cold, having one bottle can control the illness, and another bottle would typically cure it completely.

"Alright." Uncle Dai and the others began packing the waxed-paper-wrapped pills into bottles, then softened thick, moisture-proof paper and stuffed it into the bottles before sealing with a lid.
