Chapter 38

Bai Jing: "That's it?"

Song Xiaozhu nodded.

Bai Jing:"..."

For the first time in his life, he truly felt the gap between chaebols and ordinary people.

This is truly... this is truly...

The old man sighed deeply, his gaze flickering slightly as he looked at Song Xiaozhu.

This young lady ended up in Garbage Mountain...

It seems more like the god of fate's favor upon the people at the bottom of society.

After Bai Jing down for a while, Bai Jing composed herself and said to Song Xiaozhu, "In that case, I'll contact Mu Qing tomorrow and have him post a request to collect some... um... foxtail grass. You can make a batch of medicine, and I'll take it to Liu Family Village."

Upon hearing this, Song Xiaozhu nodded and said, "No problem."

Bai Jing continued, "You set the price of the medicine; Liu Family Village will pay for it, but..." He paused, then looked at Song Xiaozhu and said, "I don't recommend you reveal too much. Let me handle the medicine-making."

Song Xiaozhu: "!"

Bai Jing knew that Song Xiaozhu wasn't one to seek the limelight, but since he had stolen her credit, she explained earnestly, "I won't hide anything from Xiao Tong, but as for the others..."

Song Xiaozhu realized he had misunderstood and quickly said, "Just keep it a secret!"

It's great that someone has taken the blame.

She doesn't want to be in the limelight...

Besides, what's the point of making a splash with such a low-level medicine?

Once she's made a name for herself, the biggest challenge will be how to avoid standing out!

However, Xiao Tong could not hide it any longer.

This man's vitality was truly remarkable. Despite being tormented to the point of near death, he slowly regained consciousness and asked in a hoarse voice, "Senior, can you make medicine?"

He did not judge people by their appearance.

The girl who looks sixteen or seventeen might actually be sixty or seventy!

Chapter 38

senior?

Is this young village head of Liu Family Village being so polite?

He looked a few years older than her.

Song Xiaozhu hadn't gotten used to the fact that the ages of Awakened were so unpredictable, and had no idea what Xiao Tong was imagining; she just thought he was being polite.

Bai Jing saw right through her. "No need to call her 'senior,' she's two years younger than you."

Xiao Tong was clearly taken aback, and then the light in his eyes dimmed again.

Two years younger than him...

A 16-year-old girl...

Even if she were Awakened, it wouldn't help; she didn't have enough experience and knowledge to make such a complex medicine.

He must have misheard.

In his despair, he hallucinated and actually believed there was hope.

Bai Jing saw through his thoughts, but he never bothered to coax people. He ignored the half-dead Xiao Tong and said to Song Xiaozhu, "If you have no objections, then think carefully about the price of the medicine, and tell me when you have an idea."

As soon as he spoke, Xiao Tong's eyes lit up again.

After a slight hesitation, Song Xiaozhu asked, "Approximately how much medicine do you need?"

Xiao Tong: "!!!"

Luckily he was exhausted, otherwise he could have jumped up.

Bai Jing: "Well, the pills aren't as effective as antibiotics, and I can't activate their effects. They need to be taken for a relatively long time... If we're talking about 170 wounded soldiers, the daily dosage would be around 4 pills, so..."

Song Xiaozhu quickly provided the figures. "680 tablets are needed per day. How many days constitute one course of treatment?"

Bai Jing: "At least 5 days."

Song Xiaozhu understood. "That means we need a total of 3400 pieces, which can be delivered in 5 batches over 5 days, right?"

Bai Jing glanced at Song Xiaozhu, her voice low. "You haven't forgotten any of this."

Song Xiaozhu knew what he was implying, and she stated matter-of-factly, "These are common sense."

Amnesia is simply forgetting past experiences; however, the knowledge you've acquired will definitely not be forgotten.

She's the daughter of a wealthy tycoon, after all. If she can't even do this basic math, then the world's education system is seriously flawed.

Bai Jing, mindful of the others, didn't say anything more, only stating, "Let's have some extra; let's say 4000 pieces, which will take 6 days."

Song Xiaozhu nodded and said, "Okay, then it'll be 400 yuan."

Bai Jing was taken aback.

Xiao Tong exclaimed in surprise, "400 yuan a piece?"

After saying that, he realized he was being foolish, but the next answer was even more unbelievable, "4000 pieces for 400 yuan?"

How could that be!

That's medicine!

You need to know about antibiotics...

The fairest price is 10 yuan per bottle.

Judging from what Master Bai said, these anti-inflammatory pills are not as effective as antibiotics, but after a course of treatment, they should be quite effective.

Four tablets a day, a course of treatment consists of 20 tablets, which only costs 2 yuan...

Bai Jing ignored Xiao Tong. He thought that Song Xiaozhu, as the daughter of a wealthy family, would have the talent of a capitalist even if she lost her memory, and that making money was ingrained in her bones. Little did he know that she was very good at math, and when she quoted a price... Xiaozhu became a pig.

400 yuan?

Not even enough to cover costs!

Bai Jing reminded her, "This money isn't even enough for the commission on rush orders."

Although foxtail grass is worthless and much easier to collect than logging, the workers needed it urgently and in large quantities. Without a reasonable commission, the workers busy logging wouldn't even give it a second glance.

Song Xiaozhu had already thought of this. She had considered more than just this; she had even considered the potential backlash that might result from shaking up drug prices.

But...

She can't earn that kind of money.

Song Xiaozhu said, "I've roughly calculated it, and 400 yuan is just enough to post an urgent order."

Bai Jing: "And what about you...?"

Song Xiaozhu looked at Bai Jing and said, "I'll keep the rest of the Raw Material for myself."

At this point, Bai Jing understood Song Xiaozhu's meaning perfectly.

It's not that she doesn't know how to quote prices, but rather that she never intended to make a profit from it in the first place.
