Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?
Chapter 20 More Than Just Excellent Medical Skills
The next morning, Ji Nuan finished practicing her powers early and tiptoed into the cabin at the foot of the cliff. She placed food and a water bottle by the bed, ensuring they were easily accessible to Song Jinbai. To avoid further misunderstandings, Ji Nuan left before he woke up.
After breakfast, Ji Nuan followed the path along the mountain and arrived at the city in just a few minutes using her supernatural powers.
She had already prepared several samples of the finished medicine that she had discussed with Shopkeeper Song last time, and she planned to bring them to Shopkeeper Song to have a look first.
At this time, there were no patients in the clinic, and two waiters were busy cleaning the front hall. When they saw Ji Nuan coming, they hurried to the backyard and called for Manager Song.
"Miss Ji, did you bring the finished medicine?" Shopkeeper Song asked anxiously as soon as they met, obviously looking forward to the finished medicine in Ji Nuan's hand.
Ji Nuan pulled three medicine bottles from her cloth bag and handed them to Shopkeeper Song. Shopkeeper Song looked at them one by one. On each bottle were small slips labeled "Hemostatic Powder," "Yan Yan Pill," and "Yang Shen Pill," their respective effects clearly visible. The dosage instructions were conveniently marked on the bottom of the bottle. Shopkeeper Song poured out each one, sniffed it, and nodded.
"The price of hemostatic powder is one hundred coins per bottle, the price of beauty pill is twenty taels of silver per bottle, and the price of health pill is twenty-two taels of silver per bottle. If these medicines are sold in the clinic, the clinic can take 10% of the profit. What do you think, Manager Song?" Ji Nuan discussed with Manager Song directly and clearly.
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Song paused for a moment and said, "The price of the Hemostatic Powder is quite reasonable, but aren't the prices of the Beauty Pill and the Health Pill a bit high?"
Ji Nuan smiled and explained confidently, "Shopkeeper Song, Hemostatic Powder is mainly used for emergency treatment of serious injuries. If the price is too high, ordinary people may not be able to afford it. As for the Beauty Pill and Health Pill, they are both made with precious medicinal herbs, so they are naturally aimed at wealthy families with extra money."
Shopkeeper Song said with a smile: "Miss Ji is indeed thoughtful. However, the clinic will only take 10% of the profits..." The implication was that there were some considerations on the profit distribution.
"Manager Song, please listen to my detailed explanation. A 10% profit is actually a lot for the clinic. After all, the clinic does not need to bear any costs and only needs to provide a place for sales. Moreover, imagine that in the entire city, Ping'an Clinic is the only one that exclusively sells this kind of medicine. As sales increase, the overall profit will naturally increase." Ji Nuan analyzed clearly.
Shopkeeper Song lowered his eyes upon hearing this, obviously considering the matter carefully.
"If Manager Song is having trouble making a decision, you might as well try selling these medicines in the clinic first to see how their effects compare to market demand." Ji Nuan said as she handed over a small cloth bag containing ten bottles of each medicine, which she had specially prepared for the clinic's trial sale.
Shopkeeper Song took the cloth bag from Ji Nuan and said solemnly, "Okay, then I'll listen to you, young lady. Let's try selling it first to see the effect."
"Since Shopkeeper Song has nothing else to do, I'll take my leave first." Ji Nuan said goodbye to Shopkeeper Song politely and turned to leave.
The main purpose of going into the city today was to find suitable clothing for Song Jinbai. Previously, his injuries were too severe to move, so lying in bed covered with a quilt was fine. Now, with the blessing of the vitality water, his wounds will heal quickly, and he will be able to get out of bed and walk again in just a day or two.
Ji Nuan walked into a ready-made clothing shop and was greeted by a dazzling array of clothing. Her eyes were drawn to a silver-white robe with wide sleeves and flying shoulders. The collar of the robe was embroidered with delicate light gray bamboo patterns, and it was quite similar to the one Song Jinbai had worn before, perfectly matching his aristocratic temperament.
Before the shopkeeper approached, Ji Nuan turned to look at the cotton robe beside her. She didn't want to spend money on fine silk and brocade for him after saving him, and she also wanted to avoid being misunderstood as having ulterior motives.
"Miss, do you like this dress?" The shopkeeper had sharp eyes and noticed that Ji Nuan stayed here for a little longer, so he walked over and asked.
Ji Nuan smiled and pointed at the cotton robe, saying to the shopkeeper, "Take this one." Then, she turned and pointed at the silver-white long-sleeved robe she had previously taken a fancy to, and asked curiously, "Shopkeeper, do you have that silver-white one in my size?"
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Ji Nuan to ask such a question. But he soon regained his smile and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, yes, miss, please wait a moment. I'll go get it for you in the back hall." After saying this, the shopkeeper turned and walked towards the back hall.
This clothing store really has everything. In addition to a wide variety of ready-made clothes, it also sells shoes and various accessories.
Before the shopkeeper came out, Ji Nuan had picked out a pair of men's shoes for herself to match the silver robe she had just chosen. She also chose a simple and elegant headband.
The shopkeeper quickly brought a silver-white robe that fit Ji Nuan's size from the back hall and handed it to her. Ji Nuan took the robe, examined it carefully, and was very satisfied. She signaled the shopkeeper to also check out the cotton robe, men's shoes, and headband she had previously selected.
After paying the money, Ji Nuan left with the clothes packed by the shopkeeper.
In Taohua Creek, Song Jinbai woke up in the wooden house at the end of the morning hour. Perhaps due to his injuries, especially the deep wound in his chest from the arrow, he had slept a lot during the past two days of recuperation.
In the wooden house by Peach Blossom Creek, Song Jinbai slowly woke up at the end of the morning hour. Due to multiple injuries, especially the deep arrow wound to his chest, he had to rely on sleep to recover his strength during the past few days of recuperation.
Song Jinbai listened quietly. Silence reigned, save for his own breathing and the occasional rustle of the wind. Enduring the sharp pain in his chest, he slowly sat up, his gaze involuntarily drawn to the vibrant peach blossoms outside the window. He had spent most of the past few days in bed, oblivious to news from the outside world, and inevitably felt a surge of anxiety.
Glancing at the food and water on the bedside table, Song Jinbai knew that the girl who saved him had come quietly while he was sleeping.
After finishing his meal and drinking some water, Song Jinbai felt much better than yesterday.
Song Jinbai was fully aware of his injuries. He knew they were serious, especially the arrow wound to his chest. If treated by a regular doctor, it would likely take seven or eight days before he could even attempt to walk. However, he felt his body was recovering incredibly quickly, almost able to get out of bed and move around. This extraordinary recovery speed made him admire the girl who had saved him.
Song Jinbai pushed back the quilt, took a deep breath, and prepared to get out of bed. He slowly moved his legs out of bed. Although the wound on his leg was aching, it had not split open, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked slowly towards the door, and it seemed that his body became more flexible the further he walked.
Walking out of the cabin, he was surrounded by a boundless peach forest. The pink and white blossoms swayed gently in the breeze, emitting bursts of floral fragrance. He looked up into the distance and could vaguely see the place where he fell from the cliff.
The girl who saved him might have more than just excellent medical skills.
When Ji Nuan appeared in front of the cabin, Song Jinbai was standing there. Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, casting a faint golden glow on him. He was wearing only a pair of white shorts and several white bandages. He looked much more energetic than yesterday.
Song Jinbai heard the noise and turned to see the girl who had saved her slowly approaching from the depths of the peach forest. Sunlight filtered through the gaps between the peach branches, casting a shadow on her. A snow-white mink lay on her shoulder, and a tiger cub followed closely beside her, occasionally looking up at her with eyes full of dependence.
"Why did you get up? Is the wound not open?" Ji Nuan walked up to him and asked with a smile.
Ji Nuan's eyes inadvertently swept across Song Jinbai's shirtless body, and she pretended not to notice to avoid embarrassment to everyone.
Song Jinbai was completely unaware. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "Thank you for your concern, my wound is fine. It's because of your excellent medical skills that I can recover so quickly."
"I used up a lot of good medicine, so it's normal that you can recover quickly." Ji Nuan said with a smile, gently shaking the basket in her hand, "I brought you some food."
Ji Nuan walked towards the wooden house first.
Song Jinbai didn't say any more words of thanks and followed Ji Nuan back to the wooden house.
Ji Nuan took out the food from the basket one by one and placed it on the table. Two light side dishes, a small pot of white porridge, and two kinds of fruit. She had just bought them from the capital.
