Chapter 1095: Chapter 174: Effectiveness
Shopkeeper Zheng chuckled and said, “Alright, I’ve purchased this ointnt on behalf of the shop. You can use it yourself, but don’t sell it to other shops.”
He pondered for a mont and then suggested, “As we’re acquaintances, let offer you a lucky number, how about eighty taels?”
Manbao was startled and said awkwardly, “That seems inappropriate…” After all, the recipe wasn’t her own creation; it was Teacher Mo who found it in a book to treat Second Madam Cheng.
Shopkeeper Zheng misunderstood, assuming she was hesitant to negotiate, so he smiled warmly and said, “Although we have a connection, business is business, and we need to keep that clear.”
He insisted, and Manbao reluctantly accepted.
Then, she took out a silver ingot from the eighty taels, bought many delicious foods, and various prepared dicinal herbs and stuffed them into the system.
Once she got ho, she sent these items to Teacher Mo.
Items sent from her needed to go through strict screening, and only qualified people could trade living organisms internally on the forum.
Sending items privately not only required strict screening but also high shipping costs.
Thus, Manbao only traded knowledge with Teacher Mo; she bought courses with points, Teacher Mo taught her, and she provided various case data needed by Teacher Mo, who helped resolve her doubts.
Or, if she ca across a good dical text that Teacher Mo didn’t have, she would transcribe a copy and send it to him.
Within the system, the exchange and dissemination of knowledge were supposed to be the most convenient.
This ti, Manbao sent so many things to Teacher Mo all at once that he was astonished and hastily asked her in a voice ssage, “Manbao, what’s going on?”
Manbao said sowhat sheepishly, “Teacher Mo, that ointnt recipe you gave made so money. Silver isn’t very useful where you are, so I bought you a lot of food. You ntioned last ti that you wanted to see so of these prepared dicinal herbs, so I sent them to you.”
Teacher Mo was both surprised and pleased, but also a bit helpless, “That recipe wasn’t mine either; it was from a book. Now that you’ve made money and sent things, should I also send sothing to the person who wrote the book?”
Manbao asked, “Is the author still alive?”
“No, long vanished in the river of history,” Teacher Mo replied with a laugh, “So you don’t need to send things in the future; well, the food can be left out, just send so dicinal herbs or the like.”
Manbao regretted, “I bought quite a lot, but a lot was held back during screening. They said your place doesn’t have these species, even if they are processed and inactive, they can’t be sent.”
Teacher Mo, foreseeing this, said indifferently, “No worries, I just checked, and the processing of the dicinal herbs you sent has so differences from those here, I’m quite interested.”
But actually, she could have just sent him the thod of processing instead of sending a heap of dicinal herbs.
Teacher Mo sighed, looking at the items in front of him, and said to Manbao, “This is that ancient saying you talked about before, right? ‘Tasteless, yet a pity to discard.'”
Manbao: …
This being the first ti her gift had been so disparaged, she couldn’t help but say, “Teacher Mo, look at the food, I bought you what I think is the tastiest.”
Teacher Mo glanced at it and said, “I have a nutritionist to arrange my als, but I will try what you sent.”
Manbao: … Teacher Mo’s life is so dull.
Avoiding this topic of lifestyle, Teacher Mo asked, “By the way, how’s the treatnt of Second Madam Cheng going?”
Manbao replied, “It has been effective.”
Manbao exited the system, took out the casebook, and went to discuss it with Teacher Mo.
At this mont, the effects on Second Madam Cheng were not just apparent—they were visibly growing at a rapid pace.
She hasn’t been going out recently, but her sisters-in-law could see her, even Old Madam Cheng couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her, smiling and asking, “You seem different every day, haven’t you been skipping als?”
“No, I’ve been eating.”
“Mother, just look at her rosy cheeks and you’ll know, she might be eating even better than us.”
“That’s not the case,” Second Madam Cheng laughed, “I haven’t been eating much at lately, instead, I’ve been having so dicinal als, which I find quite good.”
“Is it prescribed by Doctor Zhou Junior?”
Second Madam Cheng smiled and nodded.
First Madam Cheng curiously asked, “Is she really as impressive as the rumors say?”
Second Madam Cheng blushed slightly, waved to have the servants leave, and then leaned close to First Madam Cheng’s ear to whisper.
Third Madam Cheng also leaned in to listen.
Old Madam Cheng was half-closing her eyes, sitting on the kang bed ditating, pretending not to see the actions of her daughters-in-law.
Both madams, having seen the changes in Second Madam Cheng, also beca intrigued.
When Manbao carried a jar of ointnt to see Second Madam Cheng again, coincidentally, First Madam Cheng and Third Madam Cheng were both in Second Madam Cheng’s room.
That day, Manbao stayed in the Cheng Family until the sunset, and the Cheng Family servants took three prescriptions to Jishi Hall to get the dicine, and also bought two jars of ointnt to take back.
Just after Manbao left the Cheng Family, the Yin Family’s servants were waiting outside with a carriage, and they quickly approached her as soon as they saw Manbao, saying, “Doctor Zhou Junior, our Old Madam requests your visit to examine our young master.”
Manbao curiously asked, “What’s wrong with your young master? Wasn’t he fine yesterday?”
“Yes, but today the young master said he’d go to school tomorrow, Old Madam is worried about his injury and does not agree, and the young master threw a temper tantrum. Old Madam hopes you could co to persuade him.”
Manbao calculated the dates; today was already the third, and in six days it would be Double Ninth. Considering how the Yin Family values Yin Huo, it was indeed ti to start resisting.
Manbao nodded her head, turned to Shao and said, “Let’s go to the Yin Family first.”
Shao agreed.
Daji then turned the carriage to follow the Yin Family’s carriage.
Upon arriving at the Yin Family, Manbao and Daji also saw another very familiar carriage.
Manbao jumped off the carriage and went around that carriage first, and the Yin Family’s servant hurriedly said, “Young Master Bai Shan and Young Master Bai Cheng are here too, they haven’t left yet.”
Manbao nodded her head and went to find Yin Huo in his courtyard.
Yin Huo was fasting, refusing to eat even when Bai Shan and Bai Cheng tried to persuade him.
Actually, Bai Shan and Bai Erlang didn’t really try to persuade him much, just a word, and seeing him not eating, each picked up so food and started to eat beside him.
Considering Yin Huo’s health, the Yin Family made him food that was fairly bland, and probably the tastiest thing was that small bowl of mixed noodles.
Bai Shan directly picked it up to eat, Bai Erlang eagerly watched him, reluctantly Bai Shan shared half a bowl with him, and then the two of them ate up all of Yin Huo’s noodles right in front of him.
Yin Huo: …
When Manbao arrived, the two were picking food from the table, eating with great relish, not leaving even the side snacks untouched.
Old Madam Yin was sitting angrily at the other side of the room.
