Su Li’s red lips parted slightly as she said, “Surgery anesthesia!”
“You know how to make anesthesia?”
Cheng Yu’s eyes flickered as he looked at Su Li. He looked like a wolf that had seen meat.
Su Li nodded. “My method might be different from yours.”
“That’s fine!” Cheng Yu said.
It didn’t matter if it was different. As long as it could numb people, it was fine. He didn’t even dare to tell Su Li. He didn’t even know what to do with the numbing powder!
Cheng Yu rubbed his palms and said shamelessly, “Um, why don’t I take you as my master and you teach me how to make anesthetic boiling powder?”
Su Li rolled her eyes. “I don’t accept disciples!”
“Huh?”
Cheng Yu was a little disappointed, but he did not give up. “Then make an exception this time. My talent level is high, and I will definitely bring your medical skills to greater heights! ”
Su Li rejected, “I won’t take in a disciple, but I can give you the anesthetic potion.”
The Su family had a family rule that they could not accept outsiders as disciples. Although they could not accept disciples, it should not be a problem for her to teach them some medical skills!
“Really?” Cheng Yu raised his voice.
The people from the medical center looked at Cheng Yu one after another. They really did not expect the usually mature and steady Doctor Cheng to have such a side.
Su Li changed the topic. “But I have a condition…”
“Tell me.”
Not to mention one condition, as long as Su Li told him the formula for the numbing potion, he would agree to all ten conditions.
Su Li said, “Anyone who uses this anesthesia must be charged at the cost price. You can’t use this as a tool for profit.”
She wanted anesthesia to help more people in need, not for others to use it for profit.
Cheng Yu thought for a moment and nodded. “No problem!”
If he could learn this method, it did not matter if he earned money or not. It was also his initial idea to help more people.
Su Li voiced her thoughts. “I’m afraid you can’t make the decision on this. I need to meet your boss. If he agrees, I’ll sign an agreement with him.”
“Let’s write it clearly in black and white. I don’t mean anything else. I just want us to trust each other.”
When Cheng Yu heard Su Li’s words, he thought highly of her again. He did not expect Su Li to be so thoughtful despite her young age.
Cheng Yu said, “Our boss has gone to Beijing and hasn’t returned yet. This might take a few days.”
“Sure, there’s no hurry.”
This was not something that could be done in a day or two. Before signing the agreement, she would not teach Cheng Yu the method.
Cheng Yu smiled. Su Li was not in a hurry, but he was. Now, he wished he could learn the method immediately.
“Physician Su, when are you going back? I’ll send someone to send you back!” Cheng Yu was solicitous.
Su Li rejected, “I still have something on. Don’t worry about me!”
Cheng Yu said, “It’s fine. When you’re done, I’ll get someone to send you back. The He Family Village is quite far from here.The ox cart is not as comfortable as a horse carriage.”
“I will trouble you then.”
Su Li didn’t reject him again. After all, who wouldn’t enjoy good fortune?
Su Li went to the pork store to buy some lard. She could continue making fragrant soap and soap, but this time, she did not plan to do it herself.
As long as she controlled the most important part and left the rest to others, she could just pay the wages. This way, she could earn a sum of money.
Su Li came to the pork shop she had visited the last time and said generously,
“Give me 50 catties of pork lard!”
The boss of the pork stall glanced at Su Li and kindly reminded her, “The price of pork lard has increased. It’s 30 copper coins a catty.”
“What?” Su Li was stunned.
Why did the price increase again?
The pork shop owner said, “There are fewer people raising pigs now. Moreover, each pig is thinner than the other. How can there be so much lard? The price increased two days ago. It’s just that you didn’t come!”
Su Li was speechless.
If the price of raw materials increased, could the price of her soap also increase?
The pork shop owner asked, “Do you still want the lard?”
“Yes!” Su Li nodded.
How to make soap if you don’t?
Anyway, she still had money in her pocket. It was not a problem to buy dozens of catties of pig oil.
The owner of the pork store smiled brightly. “I’ll give you these pig intestines today. For free.”
It was also very fragrant to take it back to make pork lung slices. They could have a good meal tonight.
The pork store owner was speechless. She was pushing his luck!
This time, Su Li bought 50 kilograms of lard and spent a total of three taels of silver. Su Li’s heart really ached a little, but this time, she planned to make all of it into fragrant soap. The price of fragrant soap was high, and the profits were higher.
The pork store owner said, “Do you want me to send it back for you?”
Su Li did not show off when it came to things weighing more than 50 catties.
She asked the pork shop owner to help send them to Huiren Hall.
This time, it was also because Cheng Yu said that he wanted to send her back that she bought so many things. If she was going to take the ox cart, she would not have dared to buy so many things at once.
“I’ll get my son to send it to you later,” the pork shop owner said with a smile.
Su Li nodded and did not think too much about it. She still had something else to buy. She left after informing the pork shop owner.
Recalling that the two children loved to eat pastries, Su Li went to the pastry shop to buy some pastries. She had to admit that pastries nowadays were really expensive. There were only a few pastries that cost a hundred copper coins.
Just as she turned around, Su Li bumped into Guan Xiyue.
Guan Xiyue was stunned when she saw Su Li. She did not expect to meet Su Li here. She smiled at Su Li and said, “Physician Su, what a coincidence!”
Su Li flashed her white teeth at her. “Yes, what a coincidence!”
Guan Xiyue’s complexion was much worse than last time. It was starting to turn dark under her nose. It was obvious that she had not slept well at night. Her face was still tired and she looked listless.
Could something have happened to Sun Yuangui?
That shouldn’t be the case!
Su Li asked with concern, “Mrs. Sun, is there anything wrong with Old Master Sun’s body?”
Guan Xiyue smiled and said, “Master is in good health. The effects of your medicine are very obvious. Now that he’s sleeping soundly at night, the pain has completely disappeared.”
“That’s good.” After hearing Guan Xiyue’s words, Su Li was relieved. Guan Xiyue held Su Li’s hand. “It’s all thanks to you this time.”
Su Li smiled and said, “I’m just doing what a doctor should do.”
Guan Xiyue wanted to say more to Su Li, but the maidservant beside her reminded her softly, “Madam, it’s time for us to go back after we’re done shopping. Otherwise, Old Madam will be angry later.”
Upon hearing the words ‘Old Madam’, the smile on Guan Xiyue’s face froze.
Guan Xiyue adjusted her mood and smiled brightly at Su Li. “Physician Su, I won’t chat with you anymore. I’ll go back first. We’ll talk when you come to check on Old Master.”
Su Li nodded. “Okay.”
Su Li had already roughly guessed the reason why Guan Xiyue couldn’t sleep well. Since ancient times, mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws have had a difficult time getting along with one another. No one could avoid such things, she was an example herself..
