Mr. Liu’s real name is Liu Geng. He has a considerable family business in Gaochuan and is at least in the top five on the list of the county’s richest people.

The only unsatisfactory thing is that there are few offspring.

He had one wife and two concubines, but none of them gave birth to a child for him.

Later, he burned incense everywhere to pray for a child, built bridges and roads, and did good deeds. Perhaps his sincerity was seen by God, and his wife, Mrs. Liu, gave birth to a son for him when she was 36 years old.

That's why he and his wife were so worried when their son fell into the water yesterday.

If Jiang Sining hadn't rescued the man, his Liu family would have been extinct.

In order to repay the kindness of saving his son, Liu Geng prepared a large table of sumptuous food and also prepared a thank-you gift of 100 taels of silver.

"I am just a businessman. These are the only vulgar things I can offer as a thank you gift." Liu Geng pushed the silver forward. "Please don't despise it, young master."

When Jiang Sining saw the money, he really wanted to take it all.

But after thinking about it, she said, "No need for money. I have something I want to trouble Brother Liu with."

Liu Geng said quickly, "Mr. Xiao, please speak up. As long as I, Liu, can do it, I will definitely do it."

"It's not a big deal." Jiang Sining said, "I travel around the world just to collect more medical books and medicinal materials to improve my medical skills. I wonder if Brother Liu has any help?"

"Haha..." Liu Geng laughed, "Sir, you have found the right person!"

Gaochuan County and several neighboring counties are not only rich in tea, but also in medicinal herbs. However, most of these herbs are bought by local merchants and then sold to other places.

How could Liu Geng not get involved in such a big money-making business?

Jiang Sining thought that this was the right trip.

Liu Geng was originally selling medicinal herbs, so it was normal for him to buy medicine everywhere. There was no way that Master Liu and his gang would suspect him.

So she made a list, writing down more than twenty ingredients in total.

Liu Geng took a quick look and said, "Most of them are common medicinal herbs. I have some ready-made at home. I wonder how many you need?"

"I need to study some prescriptions. The dosage of medicine is very large. I will order 10 kilograms of each first, and then 100 kilograms of each." Jiang Sining said, "As for special medicinal materials, I will trouble Brother Liu after I think about it."

With the various natural and man-made disasters that will follow, medicinal materials will be extremely hard to come by. Now that there is still stock on the market, Jiang Sining naturally has to stock up more.

"No trouble, no trouble at all!"

Liu Geng never expected that today he wanted to thank Jiang Sining for saving his son, but the other party did not want the 100 taels of silver and instead gave him such a big deal.

Anyway, the medicinal herbs he collected were to be sold, so wouldn't he be making money no matter who they were sold to?

Not long after, two guys brought over several baskets of medicine.

"Mr. Liu, please calculate how much silver it will cost."

"it is good."

As a qualified businessman, you should naturally separate friendship from business.

Liu Geng took out his abacus and clacked away for a while, and soon he had figured it out clearly.

"The total is 376 taels and 3 cents."

Jiang Sining was slightly stunned. Liu Geng gave her wholesale prices, but they were still so expensive.

But think about it, the medicine in the pharmacy is sold by gram, and a prescription costs at least several dozen coins. She bought more than 200 kilograms in one go, so more than 300 taels of silver is not too much.

"Master Xiao," Liu Geng said, "I will cancel the change of 6 taels and 3 qian for you, and subtract 100 taels. You only need to give me 270 taels."

"Isn't this bad?"

"What's wrong with that?" Liu Geng said, "You saved my son's life. If I, Liu, can't even bear to give you 100 taels of silver, then am I still a human being?"

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Jiang Sining said this as he took out banknotes and silver from his pocket.

Last time I sold the glass for 300 taels, and I took out 40 taels when I bought Si Chen'an. Plus the money from selling mushrooms, I still have some left, so it's enough to scrape together all the money.

As a result, she only had more than two taels of silver left.

But it’s okay.

Money is like a dog, the more you spend it, the more it has!

Just earn more after you spend it.

After finishing the business, Liu Geng said, "As for Mr. Xiao's collection of medical books, it's not difficult, but it will take some time."

"Thank you in advance." Jiang Sining said, "As long as it's a medical book, Mr. Liu can buy it for me."

After lunch, the money and goods were settled and both the host and the guests were very happy.

Liu Geng called for an ox cart and loaded more than 200 kilograms of medicinal materials.

Before leaving, Jiang Sining prescribed another prescription for him.

"This is……"

"This is a folk remedy," Jiang Sining said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, if you insist on taking it for a month, you might get an unexpected surprise."

The prescription she prescribed was to regulate Liu Geng's body, or to assist in the treatment of infertility.

None of Liu Geng’s three wives could give birth to children, and the problem was probably with him.

Help him cure this problem, and he will work harder when you ask him for help in the future.

After leaving Liu's house on the ox cart, Jiang Sining went directly to an inn in the town, asked for the cheapest room, and asked the driver to help move all the medicinal materials in.

After resting for a while, she put the herbs into the space, left the inn and went home.

Si Chenan was poisoned by three kinds of poison, but the acacia bean that she knew was very tricky.

This is a protein poison that is difficult to eliminate without modern medicine. Fortunately, she has been learning Chinese medicine from her grandfather since she was a child, and has profound attainments. She also knows skillful acupuncture. Coupled with her extensive medical knowledge, there should be no problem.

As for the other two unknown poisons, she would study them carefully after Liu Geng helped her buy the medical books.

Somehow, it kind of took her back to her PhD days.

What she was looking forward to most at that time was that her supervisor would give her a difficult topic. The feeling of finally completing it perfectly after searching through massive amounts of information and literature and undergoing dozens of clinical trials would give her a greater sense of accomplishment than having a paper submitted to The Lancet directly approved.

Now Si Chenan is her new subject.

And she will definitely take it down completely.
