From afternoon to evening, the goods placed in the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce by the Zhang Brothers, even the stock in the backyard was sold out.
In the evening, in a mansion in the city, Li Mubei, Feng Bailing, Ouyang Chenchen, and the Zhang Brothers were taking inventory.
To facilitate future activities, they chose Li Mubei’s residence in the city as their meeting place.
Li Mubei himself was not often in Chu City, and few people knew that this mansion belonged to him, making it very concealed.
"Feng San, we earned a total of 300 taels today. It turns out that being a merchant is so profitable, I don’t want to be a mercenary anymore."
After calculating, Zhang Erfa was very excited.
taels might not sound much, but this was only the first day of business.
Fruit canned goods and aromatherapy candles had not yet been sold elsewhere, and such income was already made.
Compared to initially being mercenaries where they risked their lives daily, this income was just too easy.
Although Zhang Dafa was also excited, he was calmer than Zhang Erfa.
taels, calculated, the brothers could each get thirty taels a day.
"At Xinqi Village, the villagers are slowly getting used to breeding insects, I plan to see the market response. If everything is stable, Brother Li will sell the goods to other countries."
Feng Bailing also took a deep breath.
The local people were quite receptive to new things.
After inventory, Ouyang Chenchen and the Zhang Brothers left first.
After everyone had left, Li Mubei’s expression became somewhat solemn.
"Bai Ling, I have formulated the antidote for Orchid Poison. But, are you really sure you want to do this? You need to think it over carefully. If used carelessly, it might bring you a fatal disaster."
As he spoke, he took out a packet of medicine and placed it in front of Feng Bailing.
Once it was confirmed that Emperor Yongye was afflicted with Orchid Poison, Feng Bailing entrusted Li Mubei to formulate the antidote.
Li Mubei inquired about Emperor Yongye’s condition and carefully deliberated before producing this packet of medicine.
Feng Bailing opened the medicine and smelt it, her expression also changed.
The packet of medicine Li Mubei had, contained several herbal medicines.
Other medicines were no problem, but one of them was Gelsemium, known in Great Chu’s medical books as Heartbreak Grass.
"From how you described it, Emperor Yongye hasn’t been completely controlled yet. At most, he is at the second stage. At this stage, using Heartbreak Grass can detoxify him. But if it reaches the third stage, there’s no Method, only the extremely risky Heart Blood Method can be used. The difficulty will be much greater. If you really want to detoxify Emperor Yongye, it is better sooner than later."
The monarch of a country, afflicted with a love poison, is a very dangerous matter.
But detoxifying Emperor Yongye is even more dangerous.
This is Heartbreak Grass, and Orchid Poison is a poison not even listed in medical books; using Heartbreak Grass rashly might bring suspicion.
Moreover, if used imprecisely in a battle, it could exacerbate Emperor Yongye’s condition.
"It’s not easy to bring Heartbreak Grass into the Imperial Palace."
Feng Bailing pondered; entering the Imperial Palace required a body search, once discovered at that time, she would be unable to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River. After thinking, she still kept the packet of antidote.
"Remember, if you don’t treat it now, when it reaches the third stage, only Heart Blood treatment can be used, and it must be the Heart Blood of the person who applied the poisonous insect after consuming Heartbreak Grass to be effective."
Li Mubei spoke gravely.
But right now, both Feng Bailing and Li Mubei still do not know who the person who applied the poison was.
