Chapter 900: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 900: A Large Sum of Money
"Not an exaggeration, not an exaggeration. Since you've become the Village Lord, I'm honored to be associated with you. After all, we're still collaborating to sell scar-removing ointment, right?"
Speaking of scar-removing ointment, Shu Yu couldn't help but ask a few questions. "How is the ointment selling now?"
"Good, very good." Doctor Xu stood up. "Just wait a moment, I'll fetch the account book for you to take a look."
"Huh? I didn't..." She didn't expect to see the account book now.
However, Doctor Xu had already gone out. After a while, he came back with the account book and a familiar box.
He placed the account book in front of Shu Yu and opened the box, pushing it forward. "Here, this is your share of the money you earned during your absence. I heard that the Emperor rewarded you with a grand mansion. I suppose you'll need money for various expenses, and this sum can come in handy."
"So much?" Shu Yu couldn't be bothered to look at the account book. She immediately took out the silver notes from inside.
After counting, she found that there were five thousand taels of silver.
Doctor Xu happily took a sip of tea. "I found a merchant route to Jiangnan. There are many wealthy people there who are willing to buy, so the orders came in all at once."
However, scar-removing ointment was not an everyday product. While there were many orders in the beginning, they would need to find other routes for future sales.
But Doctor Xu's acquaintances were limited, and he couldn't expand too quickly, as it could easily invite trouble. If someone stole the formula for the ointment, it would be disastrous.
Fortunately, things had taken a turn for the better now that Shu Yu had become the Village Lord. They could consider expanding further.
Thinking of this, Doctor Xu asked her in a low voice, "Miss Lu, you've been in the southwest for a while. You must have met many people, right?"
Being attentive to his words, Shu Yu immediately understood Doctor Xu's intentions.
"Do you want to sell the scar-removing ointment in the southwest?"
"Do you think it's feasible?"
Shu Yu pondered for a moment and said, "It's feasible, but the southwest is remote and impoverished. There aren't as many wealthy people as in Jiangnan, so the sales volume might not be as good as in Dong'an Prefecture."
"That's fine. One route is enough."
Shu Yu actually thought about selling it in the capital, but she had just sent a sincere letter to Xiang Weinan, admitting her mistake. It wouldn't be appropriate to make big moves at this time, so she didn't mention it to Doctor Xu.
However, the two of them discussed the business in the southwest quite a bit. After Doctor Xu formulated a general plan, Shu Yu would send a letter to the Heichang County's Huifeng Escort Agency.
She didn't know many merchants in the southwest, but the Huifeng Escort Agency had broad connections and a certain amount of influence. They could receive a share, and the deal could still be done.
Shu Yu had spent quite a long time at the medical clinic, discussing with Doctor Xu. When she realized how late it had become, she immediately got up to bid farewell. "I should be going now. If there's anything, have someone come to Liufang Lane to find me."
"Alright."
Doctor Xu saw Shu Yu off at the door and hurriedly returned to the backyard.
He needed to quickly devise a plan, and the first issue to address was the distribution of profits. Previously, Shu Yu had sold him the formula directly, and he handled the production and sales, so she only received a 10% share.
Now, things were different. They relied on her for the sales in the southwest, so her share couldn't be so small anymore.
As Doctor Xu pondered over this, he began to write it down rapidly. After finishing, he realized a problem—he was a doctor, not a businessman!
Shu Yu didn't care about Doctor Xu's thoughts. With 5,000 taels of silver notes in her arms, she couldn't wait to hurry home.
