Chapter 228: Chapter 227 Settling Cooperation Matters_1

In the study, Jun Ruochen and Lui Ming were whispering to each other. Meanwhile, in the side hall, Su Pan’er and Old Xue were chatting away merrily.

Old Xue led Su Pan’er’s group into the side hall, laughing heartily as he said, "You ugly girl, I’ve been anxiously waiting for you to visit."

"Don’t worry, Old Xue, you don’t have to be so formal. We’re not strangers."

With a smile, Su Pan’er responded and then noticed that the table in the side hall was piled high with a decent amount of medicinal ingredients. There were also several medicine jars, wafting out the fragrance of medicine, placed under the eaves, with decoctions being cooked inside.

"Oh? Has someone fallen ill?"

Curiosity sparkled in her eyes.

"You’re right, someone is sick. Come on, let’s have tea."

Old Xue repeatedly invited Qin Yi and Su Pan’er to drink tea. "One of my apprentices went to Changze County for a couple of days and arrived just yesterday evening. As soon as he arrived, he became bedridden. By the time I returned from the county government office, he had been feverish for quite a while and he continues to be unconscious until now. Sigh."

This sounds serious.

Su Pan’er pushed away her teacup and stood up.

"Where is this apprentice of yours, Old Xue?"

"He’s in the inner room. There’s no hurry, you can have a cup of water first and then go check on him."

Old Xue quickly said.

"Rescue like fighting fire, we can’t afford to delay. You all rest here, I’ll go check on him first."

Su Pan’er said and walked towards the inner room.

"I’ll accompany you."

Old Xue quickly followed. "I’ve tried many medicines, but his high fever just doesn’t recede. Take a look..."

In the inner room, a middle-aged man was lying on his side on the bed. A wet towel was placed on his forehead, his face was still flushed and his breathing was short.

Su Pan’er stepped forward and meticulously examined him for a while before stepping out.

"So how is it? Ugly girl, what do you make of his condition?"

Old Xue quickly followed her out, looking at her expectantly.

"Old Xue, are you intentionally testing this little girl?"

Su Pan’er was all smiles. "We have traveled a long way to reach here, we didn’t even finish a cup of water, and you deliberately induced Pan’er to examine the patient. Moreover, you clearly knew what you were doing and yet you put on this play. Really now..."

"Hahaha!"

Loud laughter erupted from Old Xue. "You clever and ugly girl, I initially wanted to test your medical skills, but you saw through it at a glance. It’s true that the new generation surpasses the old."

At these words, everyone sitting in the side hall widened their eyes. They glanced at Old Xue and then at Su Pan’er, all baffled.

"Ugly girl, you go ahead and tell, what is his condition?"

Old Xue asked, his face solemn.

"Pff."

Unable to hold back, Su Pan’er burst into a soft laugh. "You’re really relentless! Since you’re so keen on testing, Pan’er will casually analyze it. If I am not mistaken, and I’m fairly certain I’m not, he appears to have contracted that particular condition."

"Pan... Doctor Su, Old Xue, what riddles are you trying to solve? Just spit it out." Lui Muyi complained instantly.

Qin Yi too had locked his eyes wide, hoping the two could clear up the confusion.

"Don’t rush, let the ugly girl speak!"

Old Xue hurriedly stopped them.

"The patient presents with a floating pulse, severe head and neck pain, and chills. He experiences body aches, nausea, and both yin and yang pulses are tight."

Su Pan’er carried on in a slow and steady tone: "Based on his pulse phase and the presenting symptoms, he has indeed contracted typhoid fever. Prescribing the ephedra soup should help, it’s not a serious illness."

Typhoid is not a serious illness?

Lui Muyi’s mouth twitched a bit, and he couldn’t help but cast an admiring look at Su Pan’er.

"Good! Very good. You really do know what you’re doing, you little girl. Haha.. Now, I can assure everyone, and Lui Ming doesn’t need to worry about whether there’s a problem with his Bamboo Leaf Green Wine recipe"

Old Xue started laughing heartily again.

"So, Old Xue was testing Pan’er on behalf of Uncle Lui. Uncle Lui really was worried about the accuracy of the Bamboo Leaf Green Wine formula, as Pan’er had said!"

Su Pan’er squinted her eyes.

"That’s not it."

Old Xue stroked his beard and smiled, "He has always been worried, which is why he had the dubious idea of entrusting me to test your medical skills."

Su Pan’er shook her head, smiling.

"Old Xue, that scare you gave us just now requires some compensation."

Lui Muyi quickly said with a laugh.

However, he secretly gave Old Xue a look of gratitude, then relaxed and said, "Pan... Doctor Su, we mentioned before that the formula for this Bamboo Leaf Green Wine..."

Su Pan’er’s gaze flickered. She understood. "You represent the Lui Family fully, on behalf of your father? You need to think carefully. Once we have invested in this business, there’s no turning back."

"Rest assured about that, young lady. As for Lui Ming, ever since he started suffering from chronic headaches last year, he has already handed over all his assets to Muyi to manage."

"Although outsiders still believe that the Lui Family is ruled by old Lui Ming, in reality, the power has been handed over to Muyi. Any discussions can be held with him."

Old Xue quickly chimed in, "You two chat. I’m going to check if the decoction is ready."

With that, he promptly took his leave.

"So that’s how it is."

Su Pan’er’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Lui Muyi. "I can deliver the prescription at any time. But I wonder, Young Master Lui, how do you propose we cooperate?"

"I remember that you mentioned that the Bamboo Leaf Green Wine required a large quantity of medicinal ingredients?"

His frivolous smile vanished when Lui Muyi spoke of business. "Let’s do this. From now on, we will provide the medicinal ingredients and the main ingredient, Yellow Wine (Huangjiu), for the Bamboo Leaf Green Wine. You’ll be in charge of the subsequent processing. How about that?"

"It sounds good, but I have a condition."

"Whatever it is, just say it out. I’ll do my best to meet your needs," Lui Muyi said, his eyes brightening.

"It’s quite simple. After we sell the Bamboo Leaf Green Wine, I want a 10% cut of the pure profit."

Su Pan’er smiled calmly.

Lui Muyi was puzzled. She only wanted such a small amount?

He remembered the reaction of the Qin Family when they learned about the Bamboo Leaf Green Wine formula during the Qingming Festival. He had seen it all.

"10% is too little, isn’t it? How about 20% of the pure profit?" Lui Muyi tentatively suggested.

"No, 10% is more than enough."

Su Pan’er changed the subject, "However, the quantity of several ingredients required in the formula may be too large for ordinary measures. You should start gathering them as soon as possible."

She had figured it out clearly.

The cost of doing business was not just material costs. Oftentimes, expenses like gifts for goodwill, transportation logistics, establishing sales channels, etc., weren’t small either!

By taking a 10% cut of the pure profit, she had already gained quite an advantage.

But, she was the one who came up with the formula for the Bamboo Leaf Green Wine, so she didn’t feel guilty taking that 10%.

"That’s fine. Honestly speaking, that area near your Luoyan Village is where our Lui Family grows medicinal herbs. You can simply say what you need," Lui Muyi decided on the spot. Then he immediately raised an objection, "If the flavor of the concoction...

"You don’t have to worry about that. If the taste doesn’t satisfy you, I won’t take a penny," Su Pan’er confidently assured him.

"Doctor Su is indeed decisive! However, there is one more thing,"

Lui Muyi gave a thumbs up. "Since you and our Lui Family have signed a treaty, the formula for this Bamboo Leaf Green Wine..."

Su Pan’er smiled slightly.

"Rest assured, the contract that will be signed later will also include this clause. It will ensure that the formula will not be leaked. How does that sound?"

"Good! It’s settled then," Lui Muyi decided on the spot.
