Ah Tie suddenly fell silent.
Doctor Liu seed sowhat awkward, "Haha, I shouldn’t have asked."
Every doctor has their secret redies, so discovered by themselves, others passed down from ancestors or masters.
If you tell others, how would you earn a living?
There’s an old saying, teach your apprentice well and the master starves.
Not just dical recipes, even a pickle recipe is often kept secret by many households.
Manager Wang listened thoughtfully on the side, does this an the girl’s dical skills are stronger than her father’s?
Perhaps it was just a coincidence.
He cleared his throat, "Girl, you didn’t finish your sentence earlier; you said you needed my help?"
Yun Jiao then spoke with so embarrassnt, "I was just saying, after the new year, I plan to open a pharmacy in the provincial capital."
"Ah Tie is an honest boy and literate, so I want him to follow as an assistant. But currently, it’s inconvenient at ho, so I hope he can learn with you first."
Manager Wang pondered for a while and shook his head, "Girl, it’s not that Uncle Wang won’t help you, but in our trade, you learn from a master starting as an apprentice. You plan to open a shop after the new year, what can you learn in a few months? It might damage the master’s reputation, and no one will take over."
Yun Jiao nodded, "Uncle Wang, I was too naive, thank you."
Manager Wang advised again, "You said you want to open a pharmacy in Prefecture City. It’s not that I underestimate you, but you don’t know how deep these waters run."
"Using dicine is a matter of life and death; it’s not sothing to joke about. You must be very cautious."
"I started as an apprentice at twelve and opened this shop only at thirty. Without ten years, you can’t grasp the intricacies."
Yun Jiao bowed to him, "Thank you, Uncle Wang. I know you’re looking out for ."
She then pulled Manager Wang aside and took out a brocade box from her luggage, opened it, revealing a piece of wild ginseng, "Will you accept this wild ginseng here?"
Manager Wang took the box, examining it while asking, "Are you sure it’s wild ginseng?"
Artificially cultivated ginseng has been around not just in modern tis but also in ancient tis.
An item with huge profits naturally attracts people to it.
Artificially cultivated ginseng includes types such as forest ginseng, which involve planting lab-grown seedlings in the mountains, and this is relatively better.
Then there’s the ginseng grown to a certain stage in nurseries and later transplanted to the mountains, also daring to call it wild ginseng.
It’s akin to a crab taking a bath in Yangcheng Lake and daring to be called Yangcheng Lake hairy crab.
Even these two types are not cheap because ginseng is extrely delicate, hard to grow, and only the climate in Northeast is suitable for its growth.
In modern tis, there is also garden ginseng, cultivated with fertilizers and pesticides, growing thick and tall with a short growth cycle.
Yun Jiao nodded seriously, "It’s definitely over fifty years old wild ginseng."
Her dicine storehouse has two top-grade wild ginsengs.
One was over three hundred years old wild ginseng, auctioned at Christie’s.
Back then, there were many bidders, and her grandfather spent over ten million to win it.
The one Manager Wang is looking at now is also top-grade, fifty-plus years old. It’s smaller than the other one and much cheaper, costing only around eighty thousand when purchased.
If she wasn’t certain now that items used in the dicine storehouse could be restored, she wouldn’t have been willing to sell this one.
Old ginseng is hard to find; it’s sothing that can save lives in critical monts.
