Chapter 215 Bargaining
In the backyard, the children all ran to the front to play.
Shang Wan had just coaxed Yuanyuan to sleep, so she didn't have to worry about the things ahead for the time being. She planned to stay in the backyard to interrogate the five people who tried to take advantage of the situation.
These people include both men and women. They are all dressed very simply and have no special looks. The common feature is that they are all very stubborn and either know nothing about anything or just keep their mouths shut and remain silent no matter what is asked.
Shang Wan was thinking about how to deal with these people when Lu Chengjing led Doctor Sun into the backyard.
Looking at the five people tied up in the yard, Doctor Sun asked in surprise, "Who are these people?"
"Here to cause trouble." Shang Wan kicked them one by one to the side of the millstone and threw them into a pile. He then waved his hand and asked Doctor Sun to sit down.
The tea was just brewed and it’s just right to drink it now.
"Good tea." Doctor Sun praised.
Tea is a product of Lingtian. Shang Wan specially planted it and it cannot be drunk outside.
Seeing that Old Doctor Sun liked it, Shang Wan could treat his customers like gods, so he immediately said, "I'll pack you a pound of this year's new tea to take back later."
Doctor Sun didn't bother to be polite with Shang Wan, he really liked this tea.
Lu Chengjing went into the house to find the booklet and handed it to Mr. Sun for review.
The booklet is filled with the unit prices of medicinal herbs. Shang Wan asked Lu Chengjing to prepare it so that he could save some words when introducing them to others.
After all, Doctor Sun was old and his eyesight was not as good as that of young people. It was very difficult for him to read the small print on the booklet, so he simply asked Lu Chengjing to read it to him.
Of course, he didn't read out each one one by one. He named a few herbs and Lu Chengjing quoted their prices.
Doctor Sun took a sip of tea before saying, "It's more expensive than other pharmacies in the city."
"Old sir, you know my medicinal herbs best." Shang Wan picked up the teapot and offered it to Old Doctor Sun. "You are an expert in medicinal herbs. You must understand the principle of you get what you pay for better than I do."
"For the sake of our past friendship, the price my husband just quoted you is the real price. No one else can get this price."
Doctor Sun has been practicing medicine for many years and knows the difference between good medicine and inferior medicine.
He snorted. After all, he didn't really want to bargain, so he just went through the motions to give an explanation to his boss.
The price was set with almost no discussion.
Shang Wan and Lu Chengjing sent Doctor Sun out together. They not only gave him tea, but also some preserved fruit cakes made by Xiaohuan.
The old gentleman didn't like to join in the fun. He could have come at any time, but he chose the opening day. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Shang Wan still understood the consideration and was grateful in his heart.
Madam Lou came out of the restaurant and saw Shang Wan standing at the door. She raised her hand and called her, "The food is ready. While there are fewer people here, let everyone come over to eat."
"Okay." Shang Wan agreed and went in to call for help.
Someone had to stay in the store to watch over the food, so we ate in two groups.
Shang Wan was not hungry, so she let Lu Chengjing go first and she took over the accountant's job.
Shang Wan calculated the inventory of medicines by adding and subtracting according to the account book.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, business in the morning was unexpectedly good, with sales volume more than twice what Shang Wan had expected.
Among them, Wanyong Paste, Yurong Powder and Baiyu Paste are the best-selling ones, and they can still make a lot of money even if they are sold at half price.
Shang Wan did a careful calculation and found that he had earned 312 taels and 7 qian of silver this morning alone. After deducting costs, hiring people, tea and other miscellaneous expenses, the profit was about 240 taels.
The reason for such a high profit is that Shang Wan did not include the herbs produced by the spiritual fields into the cost.
The first day of opening was a good start.
However, it takes some time to use the wound medicine after buying it, so the sales of the multi-purpose ointment is expected to decline in the near future.
Shang Wan took a pen and circled two beauty products, Yurongsan and Baiyugao.
Don't underestimate women's purchasing power.
These two are fast-consumable items with moderate prices. If those who buy them today find them useful, there will probably be many people who will repurchase them.
By then, her good reputation will spread, and those women living in large mansions will be her new gods.
She felt that she had to research some more good things for the gods, such as floral water, facial cream, body lotion, and shampoo and bath products.
Which woman doesn’t want to have flawless skin and lush, seaweed-like hair?
As for men, who says men don't like to be coquettish? There are still people wearing flowers in their hair on the street, and there are men who buy Yurong powder today.
Also, Shang Wan really wants to research aphrodisiacs. It is said that there is a huge demand for this thing.
With all sorts of thoughts in his mind, Shang Wan felt that the most urgent thing was to find a good doctor to be his formulator.
Lingquan water is indeed very useful, but a good formula combined with Lingquan water is the real killer.
How come others can meet a miracle doctor when they travel through time, but she can't even see a hair of the miracle doctor?
Of course, Shang Wan had thought about using a hoe to dig into the corner of Gu'an Hall.
But the corner was too hard to dig. Old Doctor Sun just wanted to stay in Gu'an Hall to retire and not go anywhere else.
As for others, Shang Wan thinks Dr. Mei is also good, but isn’t it better for him to open his own clinic than to work for others?
Now we can only make do with Doctor Yuan.
I hope Dr. Yuan can still stimulate some of his potential.

There were obviously fewer customers in the afternoon than in the morning, and many people were free. Shang Wan prepared tea and snacks for everyone.
When Manager Zhong came over, he was also given a piece of date paste cake.
Shang Wan poured him a cup of tea. The tea soup was rose red and fragrant, perfect to drink with snacks.
After finishing a piece of jujube paste cake, Manager Zhong wiped the snack crumbs from between his fingers and got down to business.
"One hundred boxes of all-purpose ointment, three hundred bottles of golden wound medicine, shopkeeper Shang, please calculate the price."
Shang Wan said: "The red box of all-purpose ointment, I will charge you eight taels per box, and the golden wound medicine per bottle is one tael, adding up to one thousand one hundred taels."
Manager Zhong opened his mouth and chopped, "Six liang of universal ointment, seven qian of wound medicine."
Shang Wan curled the corners of his lips: "Manager Zhong really loves to joke."
"The boss has said that if Manager Shang is willing to pay this price, he should order another 2,000 boxes of Yurong Powder and 2,000 bottles of Yurong Cream."
Manager Zhong believed that Shang Wan would agree to his offer.
Shang Wan was indeed very moved.
She asked carefully: "When will the latter want the goods?"
Manager Zhong said, "First, sign the contract and pay the deposit, and then get the goods in batches, 200 boxes of Yurong Powder and 200 bottles of Baiyu Cream at a time."
Shang Wan asked: "Where are you going to sell this, Boss Zhong?"
It is impossible to use so much by yourself.
Manager Zhong seemed to have received instructions and did not hide it from Shang Wan, "The capital and the Jiangnan area."
Shang Wan was calculating in his mind, and he turned around and called Shitou over, "You go and talk to Manager Zhong, I'll be back soon."
Shitou sat down as he was told and grinned at Manager Zhong with his big white teeth.
Manager Zhong: “…”
This guy looks quite energetic, why does he look so silly when he smiles?
Shang Wan stood up and said, "Manager Zhong, this is my brother Shitou. You two can talk first. I'll be gone for a moment."
Manager Zhong knew that Shang Wan might want to discuss it with someone, so he nodded and watched Shang Wan leave.
