Chapter 200 - 200 196 What Happened to That Flower
?Chapter 200: Chapter 196 What Happened to That Flower? Chapter 200: Chapter 196 What Happened to That Flower? The highest quality herbs are reserved for high officials and nobles, with their prices being exceedingly high, especially as the age of the herbs increases, so does their price.
There are a few rather expensive herbs in the fetus-preserving medicine, and they are not available in the south; they have to be transported from the north.
Ruo Xuan, having grown a considerable amount of herbs, had learned about the prices of various herbs from her fifth uncle.
Her fifth uncle had also mentioned that sometimes, the purchase price for high-quality herbs from the harvesters isn’t necessarily very high. However, many herbs need to be processed and graded, and to satisfy the vanity of some wealthy households and to give them peace of mind, of course, the medical hall would also like to earn more silver, so they set high prices.
He said that some wealthy households, if a prescription is too cheap, would suspect it lacks efficacy and dare not use it. They feel more at ease using more expensive medicine. And sometimes, how quickly a patient recovers is related to their mood, due to various reasons leading medical halls and pharmacies to sell herbs in several different grades.
A dose of fetus-preserving medicine costing over a hundred wen generally only contains one expensive herb, and it’s not even of the highest quality.
Indeed, as soon as Jia Shijie loudly demanded the best herbs and offered to pay for them himself, he became reluctant.
This is precisely what Divine Lord Xuanyuan described as selfish human nature.
Ruo Xuan had observed Ruo Shan dispensing herbs; he would weigh each type of herb and divide them into doses based on experience, depending on how many doses the customer needed. Therefore, the time it took to prepare one dose of medicine was similar to that for several doses, as each type of herb was weighed only once.
He was unwilling to spend too much silver. By tomorrow, when it was time to get more herbs, he would probably find an excuse not to go.
Then it would fall to either Granny Zhang or his maternal uncle to go, and whoever went would be spending the hard-earned silver of his maternal aunt.
Why should they seek to harm his aunt with a miscarriage, yet his aunt should spend silver to help her with preserving the fetus?
