CHAPTER 71 - MEDICINE BOOTH
Translated by Luxican
After returning to the medicine hall, Yun Sheng noticed that there was a small courtyard behind the medicine hall.
The courtyard wasn't large, there was a well, a few acres of barren herb fields and several rooms, one for Doctor Fan, one was a pharmacy and kitchen, and the remaining two rooms were empty.
Yun Sheng put their luggage and her father into one of the rooms. The remaining room, would be for her and Xiao Hei.
"Including the cost for the two Dream Cloud Arrays, it's a total of 20 silver coins, remember to hand the money over at the end of the month. The meals for the Medicine Apprentice is included, but you have to get the food for your dog yourself. You have to get up at 6 o'clock every day, sort the herbs in the medicine hall, cut the herbs and dry them, you have half an hour rest in the afternoon, and the medicine hall will be closed at 6 o'clock in the evening," Doctor Fan was very efficient. He wouldn't go easy on Yun Sheng at all.
Yun Sheng didn't have too much business in the medicine hall itself, but something surprised her in the pharmacy of the medicine hall, she found that the herb collection was quite complete, and there were many herb seeds.
"Doctor Fan, in my hometown, there were a few acres of herb fields at my house. Would you please lend me some of the herb seeds in the storehouse? I will plant them in the herb fields." Yun Sheng saw that the herb fields were deserted. It was a pity, so she simply proposed to take care of them.
Doctor Fan didn't mind, thinking that the seeds left were also moldy, it would be quite nice if Yun Sheng could actually grow something.
***
In the early morning of the next day, at four o'clock, the cry of a rooster sounded and Yun Sheng got up to meditate.
For magicians, the best time to meditate was the morning and dusk, Yun Sheng felt refreshed after meditation.
She went out of her room and looked into Yun Canghai's room.
A blue magic array flashed with icy blue light. Inside the magic array, Yun Canghai's entire body was covered with a layer of blue ice.
"Father, Sheng'er will one day find a way to save you," Yun Sheng promised secretly in her heart.
Then she went into the kitchen to prepare some breakfast.
After that she loosened the soil for the herb field and planted some seeds.
Not to mention Doctor Fan's medical skill, even his eyesight for herbs was very good. The herb seeds he collected were all middle-grade herbs.
On the Wu Ji Continent, herbs were divided into the most common low-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, and peak-grade, the Hemostatic Flowers of Jiao Ye Village for example were the most common low-grade, the price was low, and true profit could only be made after processing them.
Spiritual medicinal herbs were much more expensive than ordinary medicinal herbs.
After making hemostatic agent and meditation water, Yun Sheng already possessed a certain pharmaceutical ability. She planned to wait for the successful growth of the herbs and would then start developing finished medicine.
In Yun Sheng's previous life, because her parents died early, and her grandfather was busy in the clinic all year round, her ability to take care of herself had always been very good.
She stayed in Yujing City partly because of Yun Canghai's illness, but on the other hand, she also wanted to enroll in the Magic Academy in Yujing City.
Although Yun Sheng had a five-elemental Magic Soul, Yun Canghai hadn't had time to teach her the basic magic spells, before he became a vegetative.
She wanted to learn the basic magic spells by enrolling in the Magic Academy and become a real magician, but for the tuition and her living expenses, Yun Sheng first had to earn money.
***
Doctor Fan woke up early in the morning. After he went out of his room, he smelled a scent of food. Looking at the yard, the field were orderly and some herbs were neatly exposed to the sun for drying.
"Oh, the little girl is very clever, but unfortunately, no matter how clever, she can't save her father. The Beast Blood Curse of the Summoner Temple..."
On this day, no patient came. And Doctor Fan was taking a nap on the counter most of the time.
Around noon, Yun Sheng had half an hour of leisure time. She informed Doctor Fan that she would leave for a while, and ran to the most prosperous street in the city.
The sun was shining brightly, Yun Sheng had run all the way, and her small face was red.
These hemostatic agents were made by Yun Sheng when she was in Jiao Ye Village. She had also made three bottles of Qiqisan and meditation water while travelling.
Yun Sheng intended to sell these finished medicines and earn some money.
Seeing that she hadn't much time left, Yun Sheng took out the medicine bottles and chose a medicine hall opened in the northernmost part of the street and walked in.
"Selling medicine? Are you a qualified Pharmacist?" The doctor at the medicine hall saw this little girl, and couldn't help wondering.
"I worked as a Medicine Apprentice at the Magic Temple. These medicines were taught to me by local pharmacists," Yun Sheng presented a bottle of hemostatic agent.
The pharmacist took the medicine bottle and sniffed its scent, his expression slightly changed, but he didn't let it show for long, "This hemostatic agent is not very good, I will buy it for five copper coins."
Yun Sheng sighed. She took back the bottles and said, "I won't sell them, if that's the case."
She would never let others exploit.
Her lunchbreak was only half an hour. Even after she hurried to get here, time was running out.
Yun Sheng held the medicine bottles and walked down the street, she found a few stands at the corner of the street, where the hawkers shouted from time to time.
She originally wanted to sell the medicine at a medicine hall, but she realized, the bigger the store, the darker the heart.
Yun Sheng no longer believed in selling to medicine halls and the like, it was better to simply set up a mobile drug booth, and sell as much as she could sell.
After looking around, Yun Sheng picked a clean and shady place, and then put the hemostatic agent and the other medicine bottles in front of her.
The price of Yun Sheng's hemostatic agent was nine copper coins, the price of the Qiqisan was fifteen copper coins, and the price of the meditation water was twenty copper coins. It was much cheaper than the market price.
This street was the liveliest in Yujing City. Many people were passing by, including some warriors and magicians.
Yun Sheng was young and she wasn't an official pharmacist. Occasionally, a few passer-by looked at her booth, but after seeing that she sold medicine, they shook their head and walked away.
About a quarter of an hour later, an unusually slender "woman" walked in front.
"Sister, are you going to buy medicine?" Yun Sheng asked the "woman".
The corner of the "woman's" mouth shook, she turned around, and scolded: "Who said I was a woman, which of your eyes sees me as a woman!"
T/N:
