Quick Pass: Start a grocery store

Chapter 42

"Didn't I say it before, you have to be prudent in doing things in the future."

"Don't be so impulsive about trivial matters. How can you make good medicine if your temper is unstable?"

The little apprentice lowered his head in shame.

He murmured for a long time without opening his mouth.

Pharmacist Zener sighed. After all, he was the student he taught himself, and he didn't want to punish him for such a trivial matter.

"Forget it, tell me, what happened?"

The little apprentice heaved a sigh of relief, and then spoke the language he had just formed.

"It's like this... Now there seems to be a very special potion circulating on the market. It is said that this potion..." Before the little apprentice finished speaking, he was interrupted by Pharmacist Zener.

"The effect of the medicine is better than ordinary primary potions, even reaching the level of intermediate potions, right?"

Hearing the first half of the sentence from the little apprentice, Pharmacist Zener already guessed what he wanted to say.

If he guessed correctly, this potion should be the potion from Boss Su's side.

The little apprentice was taken aback, as if he hadn't thought about how Pharmacist Zener knew about it.

He nodded, and asked directly what was in his mind.

"Teacher, how do you know?"

Pharmacist Zener glanced at him lightly, then opened the drawer.

I saw rows of 'Primary Healing Potions' and 'Primary Magic Power Potions' neatly placed inside.

"Because I know where these potions come from... The owner of this house is a wonderful person..."

Pharmacist Zener's tone was a little emotional.

In his mind, he unconsciously recalled the contents of the pharmacist's notebook he saw earlier.

In fact, he has already researched the specific materials and refining methods of this primary healing potion.

It's just that it has been technically missing the point.

So every refinement will fail.

The only time it succeeded, although the efficacy of the medicine was higher than that of ordinary primary healing potions, it was far inferior to the one bought by Boss Su.

If the efficacy of the primary potion on the market is '1', the efficacy of the primary potion on Boss Su's side is '2', and the one he refined to the best of his ability is only '1.2~1.5'.

"So that's how it is..." The little apprentice nodded ignorantly.

Then Pharmacist Zener seemed to have thought of something, and turned to look at him with a frown.

"Just because of this, you came to tell me in such a hurry?"

Although the temper of the little apprentice is relatively escaping.

But Pharmacist Zener didn't think he was a person who would show his appearance for such a trivial matter.

"Of course not!" The little apprentice shook his head quickly, "Actually, this potion is not that good... Although the potion is indeed very effective, people outside are complaining that it is too expensive."

too expensive? !
Pharmacist Zener looked like he had seen a ghost.

It is comparable to an intermediate healing potion with only one gold coin, and an intermediate magic potion with only three gold coins.

Is this still expensive?

Isn't the price of the previous intermediate potions sky-high!
Pharmacist Zener vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Tell me in detail how 'expensive' this potion is!"

This is from a few days ago.

There is a place in the city called the black market.

Ordinary people often come here to look for things they need but can't buy in the market.

The sellers put things on the black market because they don't want to disclose their information, or because the goods are too expensive.

In the past few days, a man and a woman suddenly appeared on the black market.

They come to the black market each time wearing black cloaks.

And each time the sale is the same --

Minor Healing Potion and Minor Fel Potion.

Originally, this kind of thing was quite common in the market, so there was no need to sell it on the black market.

Those who were curious asked these two people.

In the end, they said that it was an intermediate healing potion and an intermediate magic potion.

The person who asked the question naturally didn't believe it.

Because the bottles containing the medicine are transparent.

So everyone can clearly see that the potion inside is the most common primary, no matter in terms of color or transparency.

This person raised a question, and the couple was not angry, and directly distributed the intermediate magic potion to the onlookers for them to try on their own.

Some people are timid, afraid that they will be poisoned, so they don't drink.

The courageous ones felt that no one would dare to kill people in the black market, so they drank it in one gulp.

Only after drinking it did I know the power of this potion.

Although it looks like an ordinary primary potion on the outside, it is really an intermediate potion!
So they immediately snapped up the potion.

Although they are expensive, it is only based on primary potions.

They ordered a bottle of five gold coins for the healing potion, and 25 gold coins for the magic potion.

As I said before, the market price of an intermediate magic potion is twenty gold coins.

But because there is a price but no market, the price will often exceed a lot.

So even if they are so expensive, people will always buy them.

Since the two of them appeared, until now, they have been selling fifty bottles of healing potions and magic potions every day.

It was reduced to thirty bottles in just two days.

Even so, they have already sold at least six hundred bottles of potion.

The accumulated amount earned is nearly tens of thousands of gold coins.

There are also people in the black market who are greedy for money and have good intentions.

These people want to know the source of their potion, and they are going to follow the two of them.

It turned out that they were only halfway through the track, but found that the person had disappeared.

The next day, when they went to the black market to buy potions, they got a warning from the couple.

They said that if the stalking happened again, the two of them would stop selling potions in the future.

Although others disliked the fact that the potion was too expensive, it was better to be expensive than not to be able to buy it.

So after that, no one does this kind of thing anymore.

……

Listening to the little apprentice's words, Pharmacist Zener became angrier the more he listened.

He never thought that there would be such a brazen person in this world.

He bought the potion from Boss Su at such a low price, but ended up selling it at several times the price.

No!

He has to tell Boss Su about this!

If the grocery store becomes famous in the future, this incident may not become a black store that others attack the grocery store.

Because of the cloaks they were wearing, no one knew them.

This made it easy for everyone to think that Boss Su knew these two people, and then deliberately let them sell things at high prices on the black market.

The most important thing is that Pharmacist Zener also discovered that these two people still have a trick.

At least they found a mark on the potion bottle they bought at the grocery store.

So they either erased the markings, or replaced the bottle with the potion.
