After hearing this, Song Yu looked at Ding Yao with admiration. “Sister Ding Yao, you still make sugar pills?” In his opinion, sugar pills were similar to pills and could only be made in some big pharmacies.
Ding Yao smiled and nodded. She still wanted to rely on sugar pills to make a fortune. She did as she was told. She let Song Yu boil a big pot of thick medicinal juice, then added sugar according to the ratio. She ground the cooked japonica rice into powder and added sweet medicinal juice. after mixing it evenly, it could be pressed on the special mold to form small, semicircular sugar pills.
These small sugar pills were similar to fried rice cakes. They were fragrant, sweet, and had medicinal effects. The most important thing was that it was convenient to eat. On the second day after the sugar pills were made, they wrapped the sugar pills in paper bags. Each bag had a two-day portion. Whether to eat one or two depended on the patient’s condition. The points to note when eating the sugar pills were the same as before, and the price was the same.
At the beginning, the villagers who received the sugar pills were skeptical. It wasn’t until two days later when they saw that their children had really excreted the worms that they clapped their hands and praised them. They also helped Ding Yao promote them. Later, more and more people bought the sugar pills. Even Manager Xu, from One Side Sky Pharmacy, came to them. Manager Xu had a good attitude as he discussed with Ding Yao, “Can you sell us the formula and the method to make it? We can negotiate the price.”
One Side Sky Pharmacy was located all over the country. If they had the formula for the sugar pills, they would earn an immeasurable amount of money. Therefore, it didn’t matter if they offered a higher price. However, Ding Yao directly shook her head and refused. Manager Xu knew that Ding Yao was very creative. Previously, when he wanted to buy her Snake Swallow Stone, she had said that she wouldn’t sell it for 100,000 yuan. However, this time, it was the task given to him by the boss. He had to buy the formula for the sugar pills.
Manager Xu smiled apologetically. He first tried to persuade Ding Yao from the perspective of a doctor. “You don’t have your own prescription. The sugar pill has its limitations in terms of sales. Your manpower and material resources are also limited. You can’t benefit the people all over the country. You will definitely regret it. If you sell the prescription to us, we guarantee that we won’t raise the price. We will continue to maintain your original price to benefit the people. We will only earn a small profit. This should be your wish. As long as you are willing to sell the prescription to us, you can name your conditions.”
Ding Yao smiled and gestured. “It is impossible to sell the prescription. We will not sell it for any amount of money. However, we can cooperate.”
After Ding Yao gestured, Song Xiuyan translated the words to Steward Xu. Steward Xu had a headache. The boss had given him the task of buying the prescription, but Ding Yao didn’t bother to negotiate with him about the price. However, when it came to cooperation, he definitely didn’t have the right to decide. He would also be scolded by the boss for not doing a good job. Steward Xu wasn’t reconciled, so he gritted his teeth and offered a sky-high price. “How about I give you 150,000?”
Ding Yao was unmoved and gestured. “I said I won’t sell it, so I won’t sell it. If you don’t want to cooperate, then please go back.”
Steward Xu’s expression wasn’t very good, but he didn’t dare to offend Ding Yao. Ding Yao looked at him with a cold gaze. She gestured and asked, “Did you tell my stepmother about the Snake Swallow Stone?”
Manager Xu’s heart skipped a beat. So the little girl was holding a grudge over this matter… he quickly explained, “Miss Ding Yao, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t specifically tell your stepmother because the staff in the pharmacy accidentally spilled the beans.”
Ding Yao stood up. “It’s not for the best. I’ve already made it very clear. The prescription is not for sale, and cooperation can be negotiated. If Manager Xu can’t make the decision, then go back and ask your boss.” These words were equivalent to a dismissal order. Manager Xu had no choice but to leave the Song family.
As soon as Manager Xu left, Ah Jie came over to look for Song Yang. “Song Yang, you know about the group of wild boars that came to the mountain nest, right?”
Song Yang nodded. “I heard about it.”
The mountain nest was located between two mountains, and the mountain was where the dead were buried. From the foot of the mountain to halfway up the mountain, the land of the Song family village was filled with all kinds of crops. It was now summer. The soybeans that had a relatively short growth period had already been collected. However, the peanuts that had a longer growth period would take about half a month to mature. At this time, a group of wild boars came. A male and a female brought seven to eight piglets that hadn’t yet matured. They didn’t eat the peanut seedlings. Instead, they ate the peanuts in the field. The peanuts that hadn’t matured were scattered all over the place.
The villagers of Song family village were about to die from the anger at the wild boars. They asked their men to drive the wild boar away at night. However, as soon as their people left, the wild boar would come back to wreak havoc. They couldn’t send people to guard the field every day, moreover, the wild boar weighed about 400 to 500 kilograms. It was tall and big. Its long fangs were exposed. Whenever it saw people, it would ferociously rush over.
