The meaning behind Liao Mingxin’s words was actually quite simple—she was telling Ye Shaohua that she and Ye Shaohua were separated by thousands of years of culture.
The sarcasm in her words would have made anyone else wish they could find a hole to crawl into.
However, not a ripple showed on Ye Shaohua’s face, as if she hadn’t heard what Liao Mingxin was saying at all.
Liao Mingxin found herself at a loss.
After leaving the Ye Family Medical Hall, her mood was naturally not very good, "I’ll go back and keep an eye on making some adhesive bandages."
The Ye Family Medical Hall wanted to sell their golden sore medicine?
Well then, they would have to see if they could actually sell anything under Revival Hall’s shadow.
Liao Mingxin naturally had her own points of pride. After all, the modern era was thousands of years ahead of this ancient civilization, and all that had been passed down were the best ways to survive. The medicines too were the essence of thousands of years of development.
However, making adhesive bandages in ancient times was too costly, firstly for lack of suitable glue and waterproof cloth.
These things that were so easy to come by in the modern world were extremely difficult in ancient times. Liao Mingxin wasn’t a chemistry major, and she didn’t know how medical glue was extracted, so she needed to find substitutes.
On top of that, other expenses for researching medicinal herbs made her adhesive bandages, although very innovative, also very expensive.
Liao Mingxin later felt that it was too far beyond the capabilities of the present era and decided to be more discreet, to avoid revealing her origins from another world.
This was also why Revival Hall was not making these adhesive bandages.
But now, because of Ye Shaohua, Liao Mingxin had decided she would no longer keep a low profile.
Ye Shaohua’s announcement of reopening the Ye Family Medical Hall was no joke.
Yet on the first day, aside from onlookers, hardly anyone else visited the Ye Family Medical Hall.
When she left, the group of onlookers who had been nearby dispersed at once as if she were some kind of plague, wishing they could stay as far away as possible.
Although she had anticipated it, seeing their expressions still made Ye Shaohua sigh—the Ye Family’s situation was indeed bad. Everyone in Jiangnan knew that her father had been beheaded by the Emperor, and no one dared to approach the Ye Family.
But it didn’t matter. She would definitely inherit the Ye Family Medical Hall properly and show these people just how incredible the Ye Family’s medical skills were.
"Dong Xue, watch the house well," Ye Shaohua said to Dong Xue.
Dong Xue thought the young lady was upset and going out to clear her mind, "Lady, where are you going?"
Ye Shaohua smiled: "The lady here is just going out for a stroll."
What she said was true, but it was not as Dong Xue suggested, going out to clear her mind; she was just going out to deal with a few people.
When Chu Yunmo and Sikong Mingchen arrived, Dong Xue informed them that Ye Shaohua was not at the Ye Family Medical Hall.
The two men waited all night and Ye Shaohua did not return, so they had no choice but to leave, making Sikong Mingchen feel even more that Ye Shaohua was a fraud.
With that thought, Dong Xue stopped following that line of questioning and instead brought up Chu Yunmo and Liao Mingxin.
"We needn’t worry about Chu Yunmo; I’ve already sent someone to inform him to come the day after tomorrow," Ye Shaohua said as she joined Dong Xue to heat water, getting ready for a bath.
That Lord Chu and his companion had a floating gait, clearly practitioners of deep Internal Strength from Jianghu.
Such unpredictable people were hardly known by others, and without leaving an address, how could the average person inform him?
But seeing Ye Shaohua, Dong Xue didn’t speak the obvious, thinking it was better not to dent her lady’s confidence.
As soon as the bandages from Liao Family Medical Hall were released, they caused a sensation. The line of people almost reached the street corner every day, presenting a stark contrast to the Ye Family Medical Hall.
Because of its sensational reputation, Dong Xue sent someone to buy a bandage from Revival Hall.
"Lady, look, this is it. It can only be used once and costs 200 copper coins," Dong Xue presented the bandage to Ye Shaohua, "But it’s truly amazing, this oilcloth is waterproof, though it doesn’t last very long."
Although Dong Xue didn’t like Liao Mingxin, she admired her intelligence.
Being able to come up with such a novel item, she said, "Lady, although that Liao person is not that great, she does have a brilliant mind. Now we’ve met our match. With their bandages around, it will be hard to sell our golden sore medicine."
Ye Shaohua took the bandage from Dong Xue’s hand, glanced at it, and then tossed it casually onto the table, "Impressive?"
"Eh?" Dong Xue did not expect to see such an indifferent expression on her own lady’s face. freёwebnovel.com
"It’s a decent imitation, but she must not have learned her chemistry well. She’s actually using a refined rice paste for the glue, which not only has weak adhesion but can also breed bacteria," Ye Shaohua said casually as she scooped water into the pot, "You need to combine animal glue with fatty acid salts to create a medical colloid, which would be much better than this rice paste. Take for instance, the stuff in your room that I used last time for pasting window decorations; even that improved stuff can’t be used here."
