Half an hour later, Boss Yao personally escorted Song Wan Yue and Song Shen out and saw them get into the carriage and walk away before turning around and hurriedly going back inside, closing the door behind them, sitting down on a chair and closing his eyes, carefully reciting the recipe many more times.
The first thing that I did was to give him the prescription for the treatment of smallpox that I had read in a medical book. ”
Song Shen did not doubt it, just ……
He glanced at Song Wan Yue and still spoke up, “How come I look at him with a few resemblance to Dr. Yao’s face?”
“Huh?”
Song Wan Yue’s face was unchanged as she thought about the two’s appearance in her head very carefully and shook her head, “I don’t see it.”
Song Shen scratched his head, “Then maybe I just misread it.”
Song Wangyue digressed, “Let’s not talk about them, when we meet Grand Master Sun later, you say this ……”
Song Shen nodded his head as he listened.
The carriage stopped in front of Liangji Hall.
The two men got off the carriage and walked in.
Liang Ji Tang has been enlarged by half, with the part on the left side being used to sell pills, while the original side for seeing patients and taking medicine has been left untouched.
“Girl, you are ……”
The servant came up to ask, and when the words left his mouth and saw that it was Song Wan Yue and Song Shen, he immediately turned towards another servant and said, “Quickly go and tell the proprietor that Miss Song has come over.”
The fellow heard the sound and quickly ran towards the backyard.
He had been to Qingping County with Grand Master Sun and knew both Song Wan Yue and Song Shen.
He had just reached the entrance to the backyard, where the medicine hall was connected to the backyard, when Grand Master Sun came out with quick steps to welcome them. He had heard about the Gu family and his heart sank for several days, wondering if it was his visit to the restaurant that had led the Third Prince to guess that the Gu family was in the pill business, thus costing the lives of so many people.
He led the two men to the parlour and took their seats, and ordered the fellows to serve good tea, but the Grand Master Sun opened his mouth but did not know what to say for a while.
Song Wan Yue opened her mouth first, “Your business is good.”
Grand Master Sun forced a smile, “It’s all thanks to Miss Song. Without the pills, my Liangji Hall wouldn’t have expanded in another ten years.”
“You’ve said too much, the good business is your own doing, it has nothing to do with us, my second brother and I made a special trip to re-sign your contract.”
A new contract?
Hearing these words clearly, Grand Master Sun’s face was pleased, “Miss Song means to still do business with me for the pills.”
“Of course.”
The heart that Grand Master Sun had been carrying for days fell back, stroking his beard and saying three good words in a row. Ever since he had learned of the Gu family’s accident, he had worried day and night that Song Wangyue would no longer do business with him in the pill business. Especially just now when he heard the man report that Song Wangyue and Song Shen had come, his legs were weak.
It wasn’t that Liang Shan Tang would collapse if he didn’t do business with the pill business anymore, but that he had already ordered out many pills and if he couldn’t deliver the goods, his Liang Shan Tang would have to be smashed.
“Let my second brother tell you exactly.”
Grand Master Sun looked eagerly at Song Shen.
Song Shen said, “We intend to put the pills into a regional agency system.”
Grand Master Sun did not understand.
Song Shen explained, “For example, Qingping House is considered a region, and after signing the contract, the pills you then purchase can only be sold within Qingping House. ”
Grand Master Sun understood and was anxious, the pills he came in could be sold everywhere, even the goods in the capital were sold by him, if they were restricted, he wouldn’t be able to sell so many.
“This, this is not right ……”
“You take it easy, hear me out, if you think one place in Qingpingfu is too small, you can sign a contract for two, three provinces.”
“You mean I can sign whatever I want.”
Song Shen nodded his head.
Grand Master Sun was delighted and was just about to say something when Song Wangyue reminded on the side, “You can think carefully, a big tree attracts the wind.”
Grand Master Sun froze, and then thought of what had happened to the Gu family.
Even if he had Sun Jin as his nephew’s sidekick, he would not be able to stop the imperial prince or the court officials from plotting against him, and then he would end up in the same situation as the Gu family.
Thinking of this, he stirred and looked at Song Wan Yue, “Miss Song thinks it would be good for me to act for a few provinces.”
“I think you have to take the capital, young master Sun is there and can act as a caretaker for you.”
Grand Master Sun nodded, the capital was the main sales place for the pills of the tonic, and he did not want to give up.
“Apart from Qingping House, you can choose two other nearby neighbouring houses, that will be enough.”
“Let’s do as Miss Song says, we’ll sign a contract here, but I still owe someone else for the goods, you see ……”
“That’s a good deal, you have someone count a quantity and see how much is needed, I’ll fill these up for you first.”
The grand master Sun was grateful and ordered his mate to bring over a pen and paper and signed the contract, which had a clause clearly written on it that agents from all over the world could only sell in the area they had signed the contract, and once someone was found to be colluding with the goods, they would immediately withdraw their agency rights.
The contract was signed and both parties collected their share.
Song Wan Yue said, “Please send a letter to Master Sun, I am also prepared to do so for the herbal tea and hot pot base business.”
Master Sun replied and was about to call for someone to come in and deliver the letter, but was stopped by Song Wan Yue, “There is no need to be so hasty, the family is building a workshop now, it will take quite a few days.”
“Then, I will have someone send him a letter in a couple of days.”
Song Wan Yue thanked her, “There is one more thing I need to trouble you with.”
“What’s the trouble or not, Miss Song, just say it.”
“I would also like to ask you to help me spread the word about my family’s business agency.”
Grand Master Sun immediately responded, “No problem, I’ll take care of it.”
……
The two of them thanked Grand Master Sun for staying, got out of Liang Shan Hall, got into the carriage and went to find the inn.
It was just after Shenyang, and the summer heat was just about to subside, so people who had been bored at home were coming out and walking around, and there was a noticeable increase in the number of people on the streets.
The guards rushed slowly for fear of bumping into people, Song Shen still lifted the curtain of the small window to look out, and was surprised to see several long lines from afar, “Little sister, look, that one’s business is really hot.”
Song Wan Yue looked over, it was a pastry shop, thought of something and said with a smile, “It should be selling snow maidens.”
“Snow mille-feuille?”
Song Shen thought it was a woman and was surprised, “How pretty does that woman have to be, so many people clamouring to buy it.”
Song Wan Yue was so amused by his words that she laughed, “Xue Mei Niang is not a woman, it’s a kind of pastry.”
“A pastry?”
Song Shen was even more amazed.
“Second brother doesn’t know, right, this recipe for making snow maiden is kind of what I indirectly sold them.”
