Chapter 568: Chapter 572: No Need to Disturb Him_1
She remembered that musk, beyond being used in medicine, was also a fine fragrance. In the palace dramas she watched in her previous life, musk was frequently used for contraception and causing miscarriages. She wanted to ask clearly now to better plan its uses in fragrances.
Tan Zhenghong said indifferently, "Duo’er is my wife, don’t get any wrong ideas. We’re just here to buy medicinal herbs."
Because it involved a recipe, they could only buy the medicine at Deji Hall.
Otherwise, Yin Yinyue could simply grab the pharmacy owner and give him a little interrogation, and she would know exactly what they had bought.
Li Mu’er sneered, "You’re the only one who would believe her. You should ask around and see how many people in town don’t know about her feelings for Bai Yifan!"
The people who were stopped outside were unhappy.
"What’s going on here? Are you still doing business or not? My master is waiting at home to take his medicine!"
"Can you take responsibility if you delay someone’s illness?"
"Looking at your clothes, your families must be either rich or noble. Why are you stopping people at the door like a shrew? Don’t you know how to manage your household?"
"Doctor Bai will be unlucky for marrying this woman!"
"She speaks her mind even with her husband right beside her."
Tao Xiang said impatiently, "If you can drive her away, my mistress would definitely let you in!"
"Miss Li, with the pharmacy full of nosy people, if the young master finds out, it will definitely cause a misunderstanding. Why don’t you let me invite them in? If it’s a trivial matter, I can handle it privately. What do you think?"
The store manager spoke in a low voice, trying to persuade her earnestly and patiently.
Tao Xiang also said, "Young Master Bai went out to see patients and won’t be back until the evening. If they want to wait, they can wait."
Young Master Bai prized medicine as much as life itself and would certainly not return in the middle of seeing patients.
The last time her mistress suddenly got a fever, Young Master Bai only allowed the doctors from Deji Hall to see her first.
However, it was uncertain what would happen if it were Qiao Duo instead.
It was only then that Li Mu’er nodded and turned to walk towards the inner hall.
The store manager quickly signaled to the clerk to remove the bench blocking the front door.
"Fourth Master Tan, Madam, I am truly sorry. Our young master is not here, and no one can control Miss Li. Please forgive us; don’t take it to heart."
"It’s fine, come with me. If you have the authority, there’s no need to disturb Young Master Bai," Qiao Duo said lightly.
The store manager wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I was just speaking casually a moment ago."
"My wife didn’t mean it that way, she just doesn’t want to cause trouble," Tan Zhenghong explained.
Now, if people were to bring back Bai Yifan, Miss Li would definitely not stay calm.
He really wanted to shout that with him around, his wife wouldn’t spare a glance for any other man!
Only then did the store manager nod and quickly lead the two to the reception room.
"Please wait a moment, I will have someone make tea immediately."
Qiao Duo shook her head, "Store Manager, let’s get straight to the point. I want Deji Hall to invest in Duo Meifang, providing all the herbs. In addition to the cost of the herbs, an extra twenty percent of the profits will be given to you each year. How does that sound?"
The store manager said awkwardly, "I can’t make this decision on my own. It depends on what the young master thinks."
"Then we’ll leave that matter for another time. First, tell me about the uses of musk, and also, please prepare some medicine for me," Qiao Duo said.
Preparing medicine was the store manager’s expertise; these two matters were not difficult for him at all.
"Musk is truly a treasure, with the naturally matured scent considered the best quality, worth more than gold. It can be used in medicine and for making incense..."
The store manager shared everything he knew, speaking very comprehensively.
