“Why? You want to know the formula for the hemostatic?”
Mo Ruyue raised an eyebrow. She had indeed misunderstood his meaning.
However, she wasn’t afraid that the ingredients in her prescription would be found out because even if the required dosage and types were exactly the same, the effect would be greatly reduced without the most critical ingredient, the spring water.
Although that prescription was more effective than ordinary hemostatic drugs, it was far less effective than the one she was concocting now.
“No, no, no, that’s definitely not the case!”
The young master quickly waved his hand and said, “I know the effect of that prescription. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s worth thousands of gold. How can I ask for it just by opening my mouth? Wouldn’t that be too shameless?”
“It’s just that the medicine is really magical. I was wondering if I could buy some of this medicine from you, Sister-in-law. After all, for people like us who open a restaurant, things will happen from time to time in the kitchen. If we prepare better medicine, it can also help my family’s cooks, and servants recover faster once they are injured.”
“How much are you going to spend on my medicine?”
Mo Ruyue threw out another question. It seemed like an easy question to answer, but it made the young master feel troubled again.
If this was a medicine that already existed on the market, then it would be fine. At least there would be a suitable price. But the problem was that this medicine was the exclusive secret of the woman in front of him. It would not be circulated in the world.
As long as he could get the powder, he could find a pharmacist who could analyze most of the ingredients’ dosage. At that time, even if he couldn’t replicate it 100%, he would definitely be able to get medicine that was better than the current medicine on the market.
To the other party, it was equivalent to taking the risk of their own secret recipe being decrypted, so how to set this price was indeed a headache.
Just as he was caught in a dilemma, unable to set the price but also reluctant to give up, Mo Ruyue took out a porcelain bottle from her arms and threw it at him.
The young master subconsciously caught the porcelain bottle and heard Mo Ruyue say, “I’ll take it as ten taels of silver per bottle. You should know very well whether it’s worth it or not. ”
“This… Sister-in-law, aren’t you worried that your secret recipe will be leaked when this medicine is in my hands?”
He really didn’t expect Mo Ruyue to give him the medicine for only ten taels of silver. Based on the value of this prescription, it was equivalent to giving it away for free!
“If you can crack it, then it’s your ability.”
Mo Ruyue wasn’t blindly confident. The water that was mixed in there could only be found in her dimensional space. If he wanted to get medicine with the same effect, he would have to have another Mo Ruyue in the world.
“Okay, I can swear to Sister-in-law that this medicine will only be used for healing and will not be used for other purposes. If I break the oath, I wish that my “Guang Lai Lou” will be deserted by my friends and family, and I will lose all my money!”
His oath could not be said to not be malicious, but it did not mean anything to Mo Ruyue.
If swearing worked, then what was the point of laws and regulations?
When Mo Ruyue brought Da Bao out, the young master of Guang Lai Lou personally sent them off. This scene also fell into the eyes of the shop assistant of Heavenly Fortune Tower opposite.
Ever since she had gone to the other side, he had been paying attention to the other side’s movements, hoping that she would also be driven out. He did not expect that this woman would actually save the owner of Guang Lai Lou and be personally welcomed into the restaurant by the young master.
The shop assistant noticed that when Mo Ruyue left, the two baskets she and her child were carrying were empty. It seemed that the game had been sold.
No, it should be that they only bought the meat because she had saved the master’s life.
He thought viciously in his heart and deliberately ignored the fact that the meat Mo Ruyue brought was extremely fat and delicious.
Mo Ruyue suddenly had ten more taels of silver in her hands. This way, the money she earned from selling a bottle of special hemostatic medicine was more than the money from the herbs and game combined.
Sure enough, the finished product was profitable, and it was also a way to make money.
Guang Lai Lou gave her silver notes, which Mo Ruyue stuffed into Da Bao’s arms again. She was a spendthrift and wanted to buy everything she saw. It was good to have such a small butler to take care of them. After all, the five children in the family were crying for food, and they had to spend money on every mouth.
This time, Mo Ruyue only bought some rice, flour, oil, and daily necessities and didn’t buy anything else. However, when she passed by a pastry shop, she still bought a jar of candy.
Da Bao did not say anything about this.
The two of them then spent some silver on renting a cart from the grain store. They put down 50 copper coins and promised to return the cart the next time they entered the city.
On the way back, Da Bao was still pulling the cart. The cart was full of things, but it was a piece of cake for him.
Originally, he was born with divine strength. Even when he was starving, he could help Mo Ruyue drag a big wild boar down the mountain. Now, he had meat to eat for almost every meal. Not only did he grow taller, but his strength was also greater than before.
Nowadays, he was fighting to do almost all the heavy work at home. Mo Ruyue never stopped him, but every time he was served a big bowl of medicinal cuisine, it would not be long before he finished it.
The two of them did not speak along the way. Seeing that the village was in sight, Da Bao suddenly turned his head and said, “Why don’t you go hunting and picking herbs this time?”
Mo Ruyue was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted. Last time, in the same situation, she had wanted to go into the space to drink some spring water because she was weak, so she had made up an excuse. She didn’t expect this kid to still remember it.
“What’s the rush? There’s still food at home, but it’s time to go deep into the mountains.”
Mo Ruyue also felt that it was about time. Only in the deep mountains could she hunt for large prey. If she only relied on wild rabbits and pheasants, they would only earn a small amount of money. Even if they ate it once every few days, they would get tired of it.
“You’re going deep into the mountains?”
Da Bao stopped in his tracks and looked at Mo Ruyue with a serious expression.
“When are you going into the mountains? I’ll go with you.”
Mo Ruyue had no intention of bringing Da Bao into the mountains. She had her own way of surviving and hunting in the wild. Although Da Bao’s natural divine strength could help her a little, she was still used to acting alone. It was better not to teach the child some tools and methods.
She didn’t speak and just kept walking forward. Soon, she passed Da Bao, and after a while, she said, “It’s getting late. Go home early to prepare dinner. We’ll talk about the future later. ”
In the next few days, Da Bao kept a close eye on Mo Ruyue, afraid that she would go hunting alone.
Although she was able to kill a ferocious wild boar the last time, Da Bao attributed it to dumb luck. Besides, there were not only wild boars in the deep mountains but also tigers, leopards, and bears. If she encountered a wolf pack, she would not even leave a corpse behind.
However, Mo Ruyue only took the little ones to the vegetable field every day to weed and water them, or she would chop some bamboo and pile it in the yard without cleaning it up. But in the blink of an eye, the bamboo had disappeared. This made Da Bao really unable to guess what she was thinking and doing.
There were now two more rooms in Mo Ruyue’s mushroom house. One of them was a gym filled with all kinds of fitness equipment. There were even 18 types of cold weapons such as knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and so on. When Mo Ruyue came in to visit, she had curiously picked them up and played with them. They were not light, but it was not a problem to use them to kill a fox or a wolf.
The other room was a tool room. There were all kinds of manufacturing tools in it, from hardware to building materials, from small to large precision instruments. It didn’t matter if she knew how to use them or not. They all appeared in this room.
The mushroom house didn’t look very big from the outside, but the rooms inside seemed to be infinitely large.
Most of the instruments were covered in a layer of faint white light, and the ones further away were just a vague outline without a physical body.
Mo Ruyue was very familiar with that white light. Back when the refrigerator couldn’t be opened, it was covered in this layer of light, which meant that those devices hadn’t been unlocked yet.
