Chapter 219 Jade Bone Shengji Pills
Li Xia Xia put on her dress, with a smug look on her face: "Our Li family has a very high status among the many royal merchants in Beiling."
Shang Ruoyi nodded after hearing this and said, "Since there will be surplus, where will the remaining Dongzhu be sold to?"
"Since they are made into jewelry, those Dongzhu pearls are small in size and some even have flaws, but they are still sought after by people."
“Do you sell pearl oysters?”
"Eastern pearl clams?" Li Xia Xia understood her intention instantly and said with a smile, "Of course I sell them, but for the sake of this dress, I kindly remind you not to think that you can raise Eastern pearl clams by yourself."
"how do I say this?"
"The growth of the Dongzhu clams is very slow. Our Li family's ancestors made a living from this, and it has been passed down for hundreds of years before we have today's heritage. Some clams need to be raised for dozens or even hundreds of years before the better Dongzhu clams can be opened. In the early years, some merchants wanted to buy Dongzhu clams and raise them themselves, but they all ended in failure." Li Xia Xia smiled and said, "If Dongzhu clams were so easy to get, they would not be so loved by the royal family."
Shang Ruoyi nodded. Dongzhu is indeed rare, but in the previous life, Dongzhu had long been turned into jewelry that ordinary people could afford, which means there are still ways to increase the productivity of Dongzhu.
Thinking about the spiritual spring in my own space, if I use the spiritual spring water for cultivation, there might be unexpected surprises.
"It doesn't matter. If others can't raise it, it doesn't mean I can't. I wonder how this clam is sold?"
Seeing that she insisted, Li Xia Xia stopped trying to persuade her.
"Since you insist on buying it, come to Huifu Inn tomorrow and discuss the details with my father."
She picked up the porcelain bottle containing the spiritual spring water and asked, "How much is this medicine and the robe? I'll buy it."
"Since you want to cooperate with Miss Li, these two things are my gifts to you." After she finished speaking, Shang Ruoyi took out a porcelain bottle and said, "Although the pain on your skin has disappeared, the effect of the potion is mostly on the surface of the skin. This contains the Jade Bone Regenerating Pill. After taking it, your skin will be as white as snow and as smooth as cream. I guarantee that your skin will be several times better than it is now."
Li Xia Xia's eyes fell on the porcelain vase. How many women dream of having such beautiful skin and bones?
If someone else had told her, she would not have believed it easily, but after seeing the effect of the potion with her own eyes, she was now very interested in the pills that Shang Ruoyi took out. If the effect was really so good, she could take the pills back to Beiling. With the influence of their Li family, these pills and potions would surely be sold out in a short time.
"If I want to buy a large amount of these pills and potions, how much silver will it cost?"
"The potion is five taels of silver, and the pills are thirty taels of silver."
Li Xia Xia's eyes lit up, it was so cheap!
The burn ointments used by the nobles of Beiling all come from a pharmacy called "Renxintang". The pills and ointments are very effective, but the prices are extremely high. Only high-ranking officials or wealthy children can afford them. A small jar of ointment costs more than ten taels of silver, not even half the amount in this porcelain bottle. Each pill costs at least five taels of silver.
She looked at the porcelain bottle containing pills in her hand. There were at least ten pills in it, and each pill was only three taels of silver. If it could really make jade bones grow flesh, how could it be worth only five taels of silver per pill?
Come to think of it, the pills she sold were really too cheap.
"Okay! I'll ask my father for permission. If you come tomorrow, let's talk about this pill."
She straightened her dress and walked outside. The woman who spilled milk tea on her stood there, not at all embarrassed. Seeing Li Xia Xia coming out, she stepped forward and said, "Miss Li, please forgive me. I didn't know it was you and I offended you. Are you okay?"
Li Xia Xia saw who was coming, the smile on her face disappeared, and her tone was slightly deep: "Is it you?"
"I'm Xia Ling, my humble servant, nice to meet Miss Li." She had a slight smile on her face: "A few days ago, our lady said that she wanted to invite all the ladies for a boat ride. I didn't expect that Miss Li would also come to Tianshun." Xia Ling looked at what she was wearing and paused.
"Zhang Ruru actually wants to invite me for a boat trip? It must be like a weasel paying a New Year's greeting to a chicken, with ulterior motives." She sneered, "The man she has been thinking about day and night is finally engaged to me, and she hates me so much, but she still wants to invite me for a boat trip? Is she planning to take advantage of the boat trip to throw me into the lake and drown me?"
Most of the customers who were buying milk tea in the shop were from Tianshun. Hearing her explicit words, they all looked over at her.
The people of Beiling are tough and speak sharply, without caring about the opinions of those around them.
When Xia Ling heard this, she felt awkward for a moment. She didn't expect that everything her young lady said was guessed correctly.
"Miss Li, what are you talking about? You and our girl are close friends. Our girl would never do such a thing." Xia Ling was sweating profusely.
"Forget it, don't talk nonsense with me. Your daughter and I are close friends, so what? You poured scalding milk tea on me today. My dress cost three hundred taels. It's not too much to ask you to compensate me according to the price! And the wound on my body." She glanced at Xia Ling and said, "If the shopkeeper hadn't been here today, I would have scars on my body. Go back and tell your daughter that although you made the mistake today, I will blame her for it all."
Xia Ling's face changed when she heard this. She was about to explain, but Li Xia Xia didn't give her a chance to speak. She said hello to Shang Ruoyi and walked out.
Xia Ling blushed and hurried away. She had gotten into a big trouble today, and when she returned, the young lady would definitely punish her severely.
Early the next morning, Shang Ruoyi came to Huifu Inn. There were two maids standing at the door of the inn. They were the servants who followed Miss Li to the milk tea shop yesterday.
Seeing Shang Ruoyi getting off the carriage, he hurried over to greet her: "Shopkeeper Shang, our young lady has been waiting for a long time."
Following the maid to the room on the third floor, Li Xia Xia was still wearing the warm satin from yesterday, which showed that she really liked it very much.
"Sister Shang, you are finally here." She walked forward with a smile and took her hand: "I thought you forgot, and was thinking of inviting you to your shop!"
Shang Ruoyi looked at the sky outside and couldn't help laughing. It was only a short time since dawn, and she was so anxious.
Li Xia Xia lifted up her sleeves, revealing a piece of her fair wrist. Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly. Her skin seemed to be much whiter than yesterday.
"Sister Shang, my dear sister, I'll take as many of these Jade Bone Regenerating Pills as you have. I only took one last night." She paused, looked around, and said softly, "Not long after I took them, some black sticky stuff appeared on my body. After I washed them off, I felt that my skin became much whiter."
