Mr. Big Air's First Lady

Chapter 5 Alternative Sales Methods
The old man came to the front hall, found the clerk, and after explaining the whole story to him, he asked him to find the shopkeeper.

In order to demonstrate the efficacy of Zhengqi Ointment, the old man deliberately showed the man that the ointment had been applied to his legs, and walked in front of him twice.

The man looked at the old man in disbelief.

The guy knows that the old man has old cold legs. When he walked into the pharmacy, he was still trembling, as if he was about to fall to the ground at any time.

Now, he was able to walk as usual, with steady steps!
It can be seen that the effect of this ointment is really good!

After being amazed, the buddy decided to find the person who rejected him.

So, the buddy picked up an oiled paper umbrella, rushed into the rain, and went to the shopkeeper's house to find the shopkeeper!
The shopkeeper also has old cold legs, and he can't bear it when it's rainy, so he lies on the bed.

In winter, the brazier should be raised early.

The old cold legs of the shopkeeper are more serious than the old cold legs of the old man.

The man went to invite the vacancy in charge, and the old man returned to Wan Ning's side again.

Song Gu still didn't follow, he was waiting for the guy to invite the shopkeeper.

If the shopkeeper doesn't come, there's no way to talk about the sale, so he simply stays here, waiting for the shopkeeper to come over, and then follow.

On Wan Ning's side, the stove has been cleaned up again, ready to brew the last ointment - heat-clearing ointment.

The old man thought that Wan Ning was boiled with righteousness ointment, so he sat down and helped to light the fire.

The ointment was effective, and the old man was in a good mood, so he started chatting with Wan Ning: "Little girl, how old are you? What do you usually like to do at home?"

He was very tactful and didn't ask about the exile, but only about life.

Wan Ning answered the old man's words intermittently.

Halfway through the cooking, the shopkeeper came over with the help of a waiter, leaning on a cane in one hand.

Behind them, Song Gu followed.

Wan Ning quickly moved the stool she was sitting on to the shopkeeper's side and let him sit down.

After a simple exchange, it is time to test the efficacy of the medicine.

Song Gu didn't follow into the room, the room couldn't accommodate so many people.

He stood in the corridor outside the door, pricking up his ears to listen carefully to the conversation in the room. The sound of the rain was a bit loud, and it was a bit difficult for him to listen.

On the surface, Song Gu has a serious face, but he is very happy in his heart. If the little girl's prescription can be sold, he can get half of the money!

Half!It should be quite a lot - so now he is willing to stand outside, even if it is a bit cold outside.

The shopkeeper looked calmly at the young girl in front of him, and then at the official servant guarding the door, feeling a little uncertain about the identity of the little girl.

Judging from the clothes, the little girl is either rich or noble, but there is an officer guarding her personally, so there must be a senior official in her family, otherwise there will be no officer protecting her.

The shopkeeper didn't think about the exiles, without it, have you ever seen exiles come out to sell medicine prescriptions?
No!It is also impossible!
The shopkeeper believed that the little girl in front of her should have sneaked out to play, and the officers and soldiers protected her safety, but they could not restrict her freedom. Thinking that her judgment was correct, the shopkeeper couldn't help smiling.

Wan Ning picked up a box of Zhengqi ointment, which is an ointment for treating old cold legs, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The buddy took the ointment and helped the shopkeeper apply the medicine.

The only one of the shopkeeper's leg is the old cold leg, which was hit by a falling tree when he went out to the doctor on a rainy day when he was young, and it broke at that time.

On Wan Ning's side, continue to boil the ointment.

After the shopkeeper applied the ointment, he began to chat with the old man, asking him how his legs felt now.

The old man chatted happily with the shopkeeper.

After nearly a quarter of an hour, Wan Ning's ointment boiled to the last moment, and the ointment that the shopkeeper put on her legs also showed its effect.

The shopkeeper is experiencing the miraculous slight heat from the leg injury, which is offsetting the coldness of the leg little by little, and the long-lost comfort comes from the pain!

Surprise bloomed on the shopkeeper's face: "That's great!"

"Great! Great!" The shopkeeper looked at Wan Ning, a seven-year-old girl: "Are you really going to sell this prescription?"

He was afraid that if the little girl's family found out, they would come to trouble him!
He thought that the little girl had no money when she came out to play, so he wanted to sell the prescription to earn some money.

"Yes, it's called Zhengqi Ointment. It's a prescription I saw in a fragment of an ancient book. How much money are you willing to pay?" Wan Ning cut to the chase.

Hearing what she said, the shopkeeper understood why there was no reputation for such an easy-to-use ointment. It turned out that the little girl read it from the fragments of an ancient book, so he wouldn't have to worry about being caught by the little girl's family after buying the prescription. Looking for trouble.

Hearing the talk of silver in the room, Song Gu stopped standing at the door, turned around and walked into the room, leaning against the door, from this angle, he could clearly see Wan Ning and the shopkeeper from the side.

The shopkeeper thought for a while, and asked, "Has this prescription for Zhengqi ointment been sold before?"

Wan Ning shook her head very positively: "No, this is the first time."

"Then are you going to sell the prescription completely, or sell a few more? Or just sell the prescription ownership for a period of time?"

Old cold legs are just a popular name, and the causes are different, but as long as they hurt on cloudy and rainy days, they are collectively called old cold legs.

There are not a few people with old cold legs in Dayang country, basically one in ten people has old cold legs.

Especially in places where rice is grown, and in the north where winter is covered with ice and snow, almost everyone has old cold legs.

In this case, the sales of Zhengqi Ointment are predictably booming!
The owner of the showcase knew the preciousness of this prescription, and he was afraid that the family behind the little girl would cause trouble, so he thought of a more compromise method.

This method is not to directly buy out the ownership of the prescription, but only buy the ownership of the prescription for a period of time. In this way, he can earn money and build up the reputation of the pharmacy without offending the big officials behind the little girl.

After Zhengqi Ointment's reputation spread far and wide, Bu Mian would attract the covetousness of powerful people. At that time, he could use this retreat to get in touch with the officials behind the little girl and seek asylum.

This is really a multi-tasking ah!

The shopkeeper was proud of his wit in his heart.

Wan Ning didn't understand, she had never heard of such a transaction, and asked, "Is there any difference?"

The shopkeeper patiently explained: "For example, if you go to a pawn shop to pawn things, one is a live deed, and the other is a dead deed."

"Death contract means that after you pawn something, this thing has nothing to do with you."

"As for the deed of living, you just mortgage the item in the pawnshop and take the money, but the item is still yours, do you understand?"

As for the fact that the item cannot be redeemed with silver within the agreed time limit, the item will be returned to the pawnshop.

Wan Ning nodded: "Understood."

The shopkeeper continued: "There are two ways to sell this prescription. One is similar to a dead contract in a pawnshop. Once sold, this prescription has nothing to do with you."

"You can no longer make this Zhengqi ointment in the future. Even if you use it yourself, you have to go to the pharmacy to buy it."

"The other way of selling is equivalent to a contract of living. After a period of time, I can still use this prescription. The difference is that you can also make Zhengqi ointment and sell it, and the prescription can continue to be sold."

"The way of selling is different, and the price is naturally different."

Wan Ning understood, her eyes sparkled, and there is such a way of selling?
"It means that the price of the dead contract is higher, and the price of the living contract is lower?"

The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes."

Song Gu was also a little excited when he heard the words, and he suddenly said: "Sell the deed to death!"

No matter how much he sells, he can get half of the silver. It is better to get more than less!

As soon as he opened his mouth, the shopkeeper's expression was a bit wrong, and he looked at Song Gu strangely, not sure what he meant by that.

Wan Ning was not affected by Song Gu's words, and asked the shopkeeper, "If it's a contract of living, how much money will you give? How soon can I sell Zhengqi ointment again?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while: "If it is one year, it will be 200 taels of silver, if it is two years, it will be 500 taels of silver, and for three years, it will be 1000 taels of silver."

He gave Wan Ning three choices, and the prices were not low.

Wan Ning thought for a while, "That's three years! Within three years, the prescription of Zhengqi ointment belongs to you. After three years, I will sell the prescription again."

Shopkeeper: "OK."

This result, Song Gu can also accept, 1000 taels of silver, he can get 500 taels, can you not be happy?

Once happy, Song Gu felt that he could take more care of the little girl's family in the future.
