“Master, what do you mean by that?” Yuansheng was immediately curious, putting aside his work and looking at Doctor Wei: “Master, please explain to me.”
“I mean, Manager Zhuang is not exactly as you imagine, living paycheck to paycheck,” Doctor Wei chuckled, “Those who come to our shop to buy the mosquito repellent herbal packs either buy the prepared ones directly or, if they find it expensive, they just leave the herbal packs behind.”
“But Manager Zhuang bought mugwort leaves, calamus, and mint. These are things that anyone with a little bit of sense would grow by themselves. Few people would spend money to buy them. If Manager Zhuang is willing to pay for these, it means he finds it troublesome to grow and sun-dry them by himself.” “So you mean, Master, that Manager Zhuang has plenty of money?” Yuansheng scratched his ear: “But if he’s not short of money, he should have just bought several of our herbal packs, which are reasonably priced, why would he only buy these ingredients?”
And he even said those words about saving wherever he could.
He didn’t seem to have a lot of money at all.
“Well…” Doctor Wei coughed lightly: “I haven’t figured it out yet. But it seems quite unusual. Perhaps he has his own purposes that we can’t guess.”
“Okay then…”
After all the talking, he still didn’t understand, Yuansheng felt like he was out of breath and felt like he was being teased by his master, so he just pouted and went back to his work.
Doctor Wei shook his head with a smile and continued to prepare the prescriptions.
After Zhuang Qingning and Qingsui had bought these herbs, they started making the herbal packs at home after returning with Zhuang Sifu’s bullock cart.
The proportions were all one-to-one, but the mosquito repellent medicine powder provided by the system was mixed into each portion a little bit at a time.
The light yellow medicine powder disappeared almost instantly after being sprinkled on the dry herbs.
It probably soaked directly into the herbs, so no trace could be found if it fell into someone else’s hands for examination. This was a good precaution, keeping it hidden well.
“It smells really good.” Qingsui sniffed the little herbal packs they had made and smacked her lips: “The smell of mugwort is not too strong, with a faint floral scent. It’s even a little sweet. Anyway, it smells nice.”
“Smelling good is one thing; the main thing is to see how it works tonight.” Zhuang Qingning chuckled: “When I’ve prepared these, I’ll send some over to Auntie’s house later.”
“I remember we brought back a piece of brown cloth a few days ago. Could you help me fetch it? I’ll give it to Auntie to have her sew some bags for us. I’m afraid these ones we have won’t be enough.”
“Alright.” Qingsui went into the house to fetch the cloth and handed it to Zhuang Qingning: “Then I’ll prepare for dinner now. The crispy pork Sister made last time was really good, and we bought some meat today. Should I cut it?”
“Go ahead.” Zhuang Qingning finished preparing the herbs too and headed for Zhuang Yonghe and Mrs. He’s house with a large bag of herbs and the piece of cloth wrapped in oil paper.
