Rebirth: My Healer Wife Owns Superpowers

Chapter 116: Chapter 116 This Price Increase is Good.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue smiled slightly.

“It seems that you two bosses haven’t had the medicinal liquor I gave you!”

As soon as Boss Zhang and Boss Li heard this, they were cursing inside!

When did you ever give us medicinal liquor to drink?

Just the other day we were queuing to buy it, and you said you wouldn’t sell it to anyone who didn’t have rheumatism!

Qi Yue noted the expressions on their faces and had a pretty good idea of the situation.

Indeed, because her medicinal liquor was in short supply and sold in limited quantities, how could the servants have handed it over to the bosses?

Playing with her teacup, she said indifferently, “On the day of the full moon last month, Shopkeeper Zhang and Shopkeeper Li came to my house one after the other to ask for the recipe. When they left, I gave each of them a jar of Invigorating Yang Tonic, a gentle and neutral recipe that is very beneficial for men and can be consumed by almost everyone.”

“Would you like to go back and ask them about the effects they experienced?”

Saying that, she glanced at the more than ten bosses seated around her.

“Some of you came personally last time, didn’t you try the medicinal liquor I gave you?”

At her words, a few of the lesser bosses sheepishly stood up.

Initially, they felt awkward speaking to Qi Yue, a great beauty, afraid of provoking her, but seeing her openly mention the ‘Invigorating Yang Tonic’ as if it were nothing, they grew bolder.

“So that’s what the medicinal liquor does; I thought… I thought it was because my new concubine would be… you know…”

Upon hearing this, another lesser boss opened his mouth wide in shock.

“Old He, so you took a new wife for that reason?”

Saying this, he slapped his thigh hard, looking a mix of regret and resentment, “Damn it, when I left your place that day, I ran into my father-in-law on the street and gave the liquor to him! No wonder the other day when I saw him, he was glowing and kept praising my filial piety. So that was the reason!”

Suddenly a lesser boss rushed forward to Qi Yue and knelt down with a thud!

“Divine Doctor, please save me; sell me that Invigorating Yang prescription, no matter the cost, I’ll pay!”

Qi Yue was surprised at this outburst when Mother Zhang whispered to her, “Miss, this man is named Yang Dawei; he has a hundred hectares of land and is a mid-sized wine merchant, but, unfortunately, he’s over forty and has no children. It’s rumored that he’s impotent!”

At this, a few bosses in the know began to whisper among themselves.

“No wonder Yang Wei’s concubines haven’t been out flaunting themselves lately; it turns out he’s gotten hold of this fine liquor.”

“Indeed, that fellow was bragging to me just yesterday that he’s about to have a son!”

“…”

A group of lesser bosses who had tried the liquor huddled together, whispering and occasionally grinning mysteriously, betraying an indescribable look on their faces.

The complexions of Boss Zhang and Boss Li, the two giants, had turned from red to black to green.

They stomped their feet in anger and summoned their attendants for a few words.

Whatever news they got, their expressions turned murderous in an instant.

Qi Yue wasn’t in a rush; she leisurely sipped her tea, itching to count the money she anticipated collecting.

The storage space was still empty, after all!

“Miss Qi Yue, I’ll take the recipe!”

Suddenly, a robust voice rang out in the chaotic hall!

It was Boss Li making his move!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He looked around the room with pride and declared from his vantage point, “But I have one condition; once I purchase this recipe, Miss Qi Yue must not sell it to anyone else, I must have the exclusive rights to it!”

“And any gifts that come with subsequent purchases can only be enjoyed by me alone!”

The room fell silent in an instant, but soon two bosses stood up in opposition!

“Boss Li, you’re going too far monopolizing Miss Qi Yue’s recipe like this! Just because you buy it doesn’t mean that others can’t buy it!”

“Exactly, you’re too calculating, trying to dominate us all, but it’s up to us to agree or not!”

“….”

All the bosses caused an uproar, each one no longer crying poverty, clinging to Shopkeeper Li they engaged in a verbal tussle, none willing to be outdone by the others.

Qi Yue watched this from the sidelines, her heart brimming with joy.

She had initially wanted to set the price at 500,000, but to her surprise, the old lady Zhang said it was too cheap.

She said that although these people have their differences in status when gathered together, compared to the average person, each one of them was exceedingly wealthy, with even the least of them losing a single hair valued at several hundred thousand Silver.

Since ancient times, those who sell alcohol have food, and they have food because they have land, and having land means being a wealthy landlord; these people truly have money!

So Qi Yue steeled herself and soared the price to 1 million.

Looking at it now, this price hike was a good move.

Shopkeeper Zhang’s round eyes already shot out a cold gleam. He stared at Old Li and, with a wave of his hand, said, “Miss Qi Yue, I’ll take the recipe. But I have a condition, the promotional recipe must be given to me in two copies.”

Qi Yue raised an eyebrow and readily agreed.

“Alright, you may choose any two, and in addition, I will give you a bottle of Life-Extending Pill. If you take it, you won’t feel dizzy or restless anymore, especially in the mornings and evenings.”

As she spoke, she pulled out a bottle of candy made from Spiritual Spring Water and handed it to old lady Zhang.

Old lady Zhang lowered her eyes and passed the bottle of medicine to Shopkeeper Zhang.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Zhang was stunned.

“How did Miss Qi Yue know that I often feel weak and restless both morning and evening?”

Qi Yue gave a faint smile.

“I also know that you’ve been feeling dry-mouthed and your throat parched recently, unable to swallow down your food, often experiencing blurred vision, having difficulty sleeping at night, and feeling as if someone is talking inside your head, constantly buzzing.”

Shopkeeper Zhang shuddered slightly as if he had seen a ghost.

“How do you know? Have you been spying on me?… Oh, no, even spying you couldn’t know these things…”

Qi Yue rolled her eyes and pointed to the medicine bottle in his hand.

“Shopkeeper Zhang, I suggest you try one of the pills to see how they work first.”

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhang had a sudden realization and quickly took a pill from the bottle and swallowed it.

The hall instantly fell silent, everyone watching him with bated breath.

Once more, Shopkeeper Zhang’s eyes bulged out.

But this time it was not anger, but shock and joy.

“Hahaha… I feel lighter all over, as if something has left my body… ah… and my mind is so much clearer…”

He eagerly looked at Qi Yue, “Can I take another pill?”

“Of course, the medicine is yours now, just don’t exceed five pills a day!”

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhang immediately took four more pills, laughing while he ate.

“This pill… really tastes so good, it’s akin to a Miraculous Medicine…”

“This feeling is too wonderful, it’s like I’ve become ten years younger!”

Shopkeeper Zhang excitedly paced around the room, making everyone else look on with envious and racing hearts.

“Miss Qi Yue, I also want the recipe, could you also give me a bottle?”

“Miss Qi Yue, give me one too, my symptoms are somewhat similar to Shopkeeper Zhang’s!”

“Miss Qi Yue, I’ll take the house, I’ll pay first, can you give me two bottles?”

“I’ll pay first! Give me two bottles!”

“…”

Watching the lively scene in the hall, Qi Yue silently glanced at old lady Zhang.

They really do have money.

I almost believed their nonsense about being penniless!
