The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 134 Patent Buyout (1)
"I've seen the miracle today, why don't you ask Miss Leng to bring me some moxibustion and show me?" said the shopkeeper.

Leng Ping nodded, and gave the moxibustion to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper invited Leng Ping inside to discuss in detail.

Hua'er has been holding Leng Ping's hand tightly, pursing her lips along the way.

In the back hall, the horse shopkeeper opened the cloth bag, carefully looked at the structure inside, and suddenly realized, "Miss Leng is really smart. In this way, the moxa is burned inside, and the heat is transferred to the outside through the iron box. Wrapped in a cloth bag, the heat of the moxa sticks can be transmitted to the patient, and it is not easy to burn the patient, which kills two birds with one stone!"

Leng Ping immediately pulled the rope and said with a smile: "It kills three birds with one stone, this rope can also be tied to the acupuncture points, moxibustion as you go, without wasting time at all!"

Shopkeeper Ma nodded, "Things are good things, but our pharmacy has the rules of pharmacies. Generally, the medicinal materials are from the big ones. Miss Leng's things are not regular, in case something goes wrong..."

Leng Ping asked with a smile: "What could be wrong? Didn't the shopkeeper have seen it just now, the old woman used it without any problems, and you also said that your wife used it too!"

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll make an exception to accept the girl's things today. I wonder how much the girl wants to sell this for?" The shopkeeper Ma said with a strong determination.

"I don't know if the shopkeeper wants to monopolize this patent? Or buy goods batch by batch?" Leng Ping knew that the horse shopkeeper was deliberately pushing and pulling, so she was not in a hurry, and slowly negotiated terms with the horse shopkeeper.

"What do you mean by patent?" Shopkeeper Ma was taken aback.

"I just bought the method of how to make this portable moxibustion. Let's sign a contract. I will only sell it to your family. Naturally, the price will be higher! In the future, you can produce and sell it yourself! If you think it's troublesome, if you want If you buy from me, you have to set a price, and this moxa stick, I wonder if there is any moxa stick in the shopkeeper's pharmacy?" Leng Ping folded her hands on her chest, as if negotiating.

Shopkeeper Ma said with a smile: "Moxibustion is almost lost. I saw it once from Master. How can there be moxa sticks in our pharmacy?"

Leng Ping nodded, "In that case, let's talk about the price of this moxa stick by the way!"

Shopkeeper Ma nodded, "Please bid, girl!"

Leng Ping also said: "If the shopkeeper buys it out, then it will be 200 taels of silver, not a penny less. If you want to buy a box from me, you will need two taels of silver each. Now I have about twenty taels of silver. One, which is 40 taels of silver, and I will give you twenty more moxa sticks. As for the moxa sticks, it is twenty cents a piece, but we have to sign a contract. Buy it elsewhere!"

Hua'er at the side turned pale with fright when she heard the 200 taels of silver, she quietly tugged at Leng Ping's skirt, but Leng Ping pretended not to notice.

Shopkeeper Ma also opened his mouth wide in surprise, and said after a long time: "Miss Leng, is your price a bit high? How can an iron box and a cloth bag be worth so much?"

In fact, Shopkeeper Ma was thinking in his heart, he had already seen the iron box just now, why spend 200 taels to buy some patent, he can just find someone to do it himself!

Leng Ping was not afraid of him stealing the lessons. In fact, the openings and bayonets in the iron box had their own advantages. The shopkeeper just glanced at it. It was so easy to imitate, but it was hard to say after a long time, so Leng Ping still hopes that shopkeeper Ma can buy the patent, and she will just supply moxa sticks in the future!

The price of moxa sticks is not expensive at all.

"I found someone to polish this iron box. The openings and bayonets inside were made with special craftsmanship. It took a lot of effort, not to mention that the materials alone cost hundreds of dollars!" Leng Ping laughed. "It's fine if shopkeepers don't care about horses. Anyway, there is a Sifang Pharmacy in Licheng. I heard that Mr. Gu of Sifang Pharmacy is a famous doctor in Licheng. He will know the goods!"

As soon as Leng Ping mentioned Mr. Gu of the Sifang Pharmacy, Shopkeeper Ma’s expression turned a little ugly. These days, Ping’an Pharmacy is fighting with Sifang Pharmacy, and the target is Eunuch Wan, a big man in Licheng. This Eunuch Wan’s background is not small. In the past, he was serving the late emperor. After the late emperor passed away ten years ago, the new emperor ascended the throne. He thanked him for his hard work in serving the late emperor, so he was extrajudicially allowed to return to Licheng to retire. Now Eunuch Wan’s mansion is looking for a The famous doctor, the two pharmacies in Licheng - Sifang pharmacy and Ping'an pharmacy, both saw this opportunity, so now that shopkeeper Ma heard that Leng Ping was going to Sifang pharmacy, he was afraid that Sifang pharmacy would get it first, so he hesitated and said : "Well, 100 taels, I accepted your patent for portable moxibustion, how about it?"

Seeing that shopkeeper Ma took the bait, Leng Ping stopped panicking and shook her head, "The lowest price is 150 taels, no less!"

The horse shopkeeper gritted his teeth and had to say: "Okay, then 150 taels, but there is one thing, your portable moxibustion can only be supplied to our Ping An Medicine Store, and moxa sticks are also available. Can you do it?"

Although the portable moxibustion has been made now, the reputation is still not good, and it may not be easy to promote it on a large scale, so I agreed, "Okay, but our contract can only be signed for three years. After three years, I will take back the portable moxibustion." The patent right of moxibustion!"

Shopkeeper Ma also nodded, three years, this opportunity is enough, so he agreed immediately.

Hua'er watched Leng Ping put a 150 tael bank note into her arms, her small mouth remained open.

Although she is only four years old, she also knows how big a sum 150 taels is.

Shopkeeper Ma was still a little reconciled, and told Leng Ping again and again, "Leave those twenty moxibustion moxibustions first, and I'll see if the effect is good. If the effect is good and you use it a lot, you will hand over the method immediately, you understand?" ? And the moxa sticks, also prepare more, now it’s past the season for collecting moxa, don’t fool me with the moxa leaves!”

The curative effect of moxa velvet and moxa leaf is too far apart!

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Ma. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, I have prepared a large amount of moxa, and your goods are absolutely indispensable! As a thank you for accepting my portable moxibustion, today's 150 sticks of moxa will be treated as free gifts! "Leng Ping was full of joy when she got the [-] taels of silver, so naturally she would not be stingy with the moxa sticks.

Shopkeeper Ma nodded and sent Leng Ping out now.

In the lobby of Ping An Pharmacy, the doctor sitting in the hall was still sitting straight, no patients came, and he didn't seem to have moved at all.But when Leng Ping came out, the doctor suddenly raised his eyes to look at Leng Ping, there was some coldness in his black and white eyes.

Leng Ping took Hua'er's hand and said goodbye to shopkeeper Ma, but felt the man's gaze, turned around quickly, and saw the man was buried in his book.

Leng Ping thought she was wrong, so she didn't take it to heart, and went out happily with Hua'er.
