Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

Now that we have the prescription, those people can be saved.

It turns out that my younger sister has a way.

Thinking of this, Su An's eyes curved into crescent shapes and he exchanged glances with Su Yue.

Then she turned around and thanked Xie Qingfeng with a smile.

"Then I'd like to thank the miracle doctor on behalf of those people. I know that the miracle doctor has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Even though he says they deserve to die, he will still come to their rescue out of justice!"

Hearing her flattering him, Xie Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, folded his arms and turned his head away, snorted softly, and said arrogantly: "Who saved them? It was Su Yue who saved them, it has nothing to do with me."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Su Yue was pretending to know everything just to provoke Xie Qingfeng into revealing the prescription. He was as smart as a fox, so how could he not understand?

Seeing that he was being so stubborn, Su An felt a little amused and nodded, agreeing perfunctorily.

"Yes, yes, you are right. It was my little sister who saved me."

Having achieved his goal, Su An did not linger any longer. He simply gave Su Yue some instructions and left with Fu Zhun.

In the carriage, Fu Zhun looked outside and asked suddenly.

"Now that you have the recipe, what are you going to do with it?"

Speaking of this, Su An became interested.

There is still no clue about the case of the emperor's assassination, but she came to ask Xie Qingfeng for the prescription. She got this prescription at the risk of her life. If she doesn't get some benefits from it, wouldn't it be a loss?

"The mountain man has his own clever plan."

Su An blinked at him mysteriously and smiled brightly.

There is no doubt that she must have come up with some strange tricks.

Fu Zhun shook his head helplessly and didn't ask any more questions.

When she returned to the shop, she went straight into the room.

When she came out again, she had a notice in her hand.

After about half a quarter of an hour, the entrance was crowded with people in three layers inside and outside.

Those who could read began to read it word by word.

"From today on, anyone who spends over 20 taels of silver in our store will receive free herbs and prescriptions..."

Upon hearing this, everyone started talking at once.

"Is there such a good thing? Normally, just going to the shop to have a doctor take a look would cost at least two taels of silver, and getting some herbs would cost at least ten taels. But this is great, it's given away for free in the time it takes to eat a meal."

"So what are you waiting for? Give me some more stir-fries, man."

……

Everyone rushed to take out their money and rush into the shop.

For a time, the shop's business became extremely popular, and people in the streets and alleys were all praising Su An.

It was not until midnight that the number of guests gradually decreased.

The flickering candlelight in the room shone through the cracks in the window, adding a soft touch to the darkness.

Sitting at the desk, Su An was fiddling with the account book recording the shop's expenses in one hand, and holding a brush in the other, scribbling on the paper and calculating the shop's profits.

Seeing the number she had circled on the paper, she put down the brush with satisfaction and murmured with a curved lip.

"The results are good. If I keep doing this for another month, I'll be able to open a branch and gain both fame and fortune. I'm worthy of being mine."

It's good to have a good plan, but it's obviously far behind the changes.

The next day, she was taking a nap in her room when she heard a commotion outside.

Then there was a burst of loud noises, including banging and smashing.

Su An was just about to go out to take a look. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the guy in charge of buying medicinal herbs running towards him with an anxious look on his face.

"Boss Su, something bad has happened. We're running out of herbs in the shop. The customers can't get any, and they're making trouble downstairs, clamoring to see you!"

After hearing this, Su An couldn't help but frown, and his words contained a hint of reproach.

"If you don't have the herbs, go buy some! Didn't I tell you a long time ago that these herbs can't be out of stock?"

The waiter looked at her with difficulty, lowered his head and sighed deeply.

"Hey, Boss Su, it's not that we don't want to buy it, it's just that we can't find it! We've searched all the pharmacies in the county, but not a single one is willing to sell us the herbs."

How is that possible? Who doesn't like money?

Su An didn't believe it at all. He waved to the waiter and gave him careful instructions.

"Okay, I'll take care of this."

"Give the guest some free tea and snacks first, and ask him to wait for a moment. I'll go buy some herbs."

Afterwards, she took some banknotes and went out to buy medicinal herbs.

Unexpectedly, before she could even stand firmly in the pharmacy, the pharmacist recognized her at a glance and drove her away without saying a word.

"It's you? You'd better leave quickly. Our shop doesn't have the herbs you want."

But Su An happened to recognize the word "aconite" at a glance.

She took a few steps forward, grabbed one directly from the box, and questioned the medicine boy angrily.

"Then what is this? You clearly have the herbs. It doesn't matter who you sell them to. Why don't you sell them to me?"

Seeing that she had seen him, the medicine boy simply stopped pretending and snatched the aconite from her hand in annoyance and put it back.

"How dare you ask? People are eating at your place and getting free herbs. How could anyone buy herbs from our shop? Since you're running a restaurant for a living, why are you trying to compete with our shop for business?"

"Our boss has already said that we will never sell these herbs to you even if they get moldy in the shop."

Su An was suddenly speechless.

No, it doesn't matter who sells these herbs. If the people in the city don't buy them, then isn't she the one who buys them?

What's more, she bought more than those common people.

She really couldn't understand their thoughts until she accidentally looked down and saw the price tags of the medicinal herbs.

The medicinal materials that originally cost only one tael of silver per set are now priced at one hundred taels!

Su An's eyes widened, and he scolded in shock.

"No, are you crazy? These herbs only cost one or two taels before. Even if they are in short supply now, the price can't go up to one hundred taels! Aren't you guys just robbing me?"

But the medicine boy sneered at her without blushing or beating his heart.

"You also said that was in the past. In the past, this herb was only used to balance yin and yang and regulate the body. Now it is used to detoxify and save lives. Of course, the price is different."

"Go, go, go, hurry up and don't interfere with our business."

After saying this, regardless of her reaction, the medicine boy reached out and pushed her out the door.

No wonder they didn't want to sell the medicinal herbs to her. It turned out that it was because she had robbed them of their way to make money.

Su An went to several more shops in anger.

But as if they had agreed on it, they all kicked her out.

After a lot of trouble, she had to return empty-handed.

The customers in the shop had been waiting for the herbs for a long time and were getting a little impatient. When they saw Su An, they all rushed over.

"Miss Su, I'm about to vomit my tea. Are you guys still going to send me these herbs?"

"Yes! Yesterday they said they would send me herbs, but today they stopped. If I had known they wouldn't send me herbs, I wouldn't have come here to eat. Now I've spent the money and still haven't received the herbs. Isn't this obviously a scam?"
