In the morning, Claire woke up first and saw Ahes lying not far from her. Claire was slightly startled, and then snorted a little bit angrily.
"Hey, wake up." Walking to Ahs, Claire stepped on Ahs' face with her foot and said.
Ahes sat up, stretched and yawned.
"Have you forgotten what you said last night?" Claire asked, crossing her arms.
"Of course not." Ahs asked as he rubbed his eyes, then opened a rift in space and took Claire out of the space.
Even though it was morning, the air was still very cold, and there was frost on Ahes' eyebrows and hair the moment he came out.
"Huh, it's so cold." Ahs exhaled, looked at Claire's white neck, thought for a moment, and stretched out his hand.
"Ji!" Claire cried out as Ahes' cold hand reached into her clothes.
"You, what are you doing?"
"It's nothing, I thought you weren't afraid of the cold."
"How is it possible? I am a human and not a demon. How can I not be afraid of the cold? Are you stupid?"
As they talked, the two came to a herbal medicine shop.
The shops in the herbal medicine shop were covered with a thick layer of quilts, probably because the weather was too cold and I was afraid that the herbs would be frozen.
Like the cashier at the supermarket last night, the salesperson at the herbal medicine shop was also wrapped in a quilt and squatting in the corner motionless.
"If you want anything, just pick it out yourself. Just leave the money on the counter." The salesperson shivered and coughed from time to time.
Seeing the salesman's look, Ahes knew that the isatis root method was absolutely feasible.
Soon, Ahes found a plant that was exactly the same as Isatis root.
"I want all of these." Putting all the herbs into the bag, Ahes put down the money on the counter and left the herbal shop with Claire.
Then came the medicine jar, sucrose, dextrin, starch and other things. After buying them all, Ahes had used up all the money.
"If we fail, we will be penniless." Claire said as she watched Ahes light a fire under the medicine vat and start boiling the herbs.
"Don't worry, I don't need to cooperate this time. This thing can bring me as much profit as cigarettes." Ahes said confidently.
It took a day for Ahes to turn these herbs into granules and put them into bags one after another.
The next step is to find a way to sell it.
It's so cold in Ekhattan now that residents have begun to stay indoors. Even if someone is sick, they just lie at home. Unless the illness is too serious, they will not go to the hospital.
In this case, if you just find a place to set up a stall, you won't be able to sell at all.
After thinking about it carefully, Ahes decided to go directly to the hospital and wait.
As expected, there was no one in the hospital. Ahes sat directly next to the steps of the hospital and began to wait for the person he wanted.
After waiting for a while, a young man helped an old man walk out of the hospital. The old man coughed violently and seemed to have a cold.
Although it is just a common cold, it is not comfortable for such elderly people. In this world, it can be fatal if not treated in time.
"Hello." Ahes immediately stepped forward to stop the two of them, "Excuse me, are you also here to seek medical treatment?"
"Yes, my father has a cold and is coughing day and night. It is really unbearable." The man bit his lip and said, "But now, treatment is too expensive, so I simply...
..."
"Fifty karks, can you afford it?" Ahs suddenly asked.
"Fifty...Kirk?" Hearing Ahes ask this, the man was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Of course, but what's the matter?"
"I know a famous doctor. The medicine he makes can cure early colds at only fifty kilograms, especially for sore throats." Ahes said, "If you want, I can give you that medicine."
Brought to you."
"Famous doctor? But don't say it's me. The whole of Ekhadun has never heard of such a famous doctor."
"Of course you don't know that the famous doctor came to Ikhtun recently." Ahs thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll bring you the medicine first, and you let your father finish it first and see.
How about whether it works or not, and then we pay for it later?”
"Um, of course."
Ahes breathed a sigh of relief and took out twenty-one packs of isatis root from his pocket.
"Take it once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once in the evening for seven days, and drink it with hot water," Ahes said.
As soon as the man was about to take the medicine, Ahes retracted his hand.
"What, what's wrong?"
"Do you know anyone like your father who just came down with a cold or a sore throat?" Ahs asked.
"Of course, most residents of Ekhtun are not adapted to this climate, so with these symptoms, the people around me are the same." The man nodded and said.
"Very good. In that case, I hope you will give these medicines to them." Ahes said, handing all the medicines to the man. "After seven days, I will wait for you here."
After saying that, Ahes turned and left.
"Do you just believe him that much? What if he runs away with the medicine?" Claire immediately approached and asked.
"It's impossible. First of all, we don't know each other at all, and he doesn't know how the medicine works. He will definitely try it first." Ahs shook his head and said, "Moreover, Isatis root cannot be cured, and it will be infected in the future.
They will still get colds, and they will still need to get isatis root from me, and running away with these medicines is not a wise move at all."
"To put it bluntly, even if he really didn't come to keep the appointment after seven days, Ikehadun is so big, do you think I can't find him?"
"Okay, okay, what should we do now?" Claire asked, "What should we do in these seven days? We don't have a penny now, right?"
Hearing this, Ahes was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his temples.
"I, I don't know either."
"........."
At night, Ahes asked Claire to wait for him outside, and he decided to steal something to eat in the supermarket.
When he arrived at the supermarket, he glanced at the shivering cashier wrapped in a quilt, and Ahes secretly stuffed the bread into his clothes.
When he saw the yogurt, Ahes hesitated again. After thinking about it, Ahes decided to get a bottle.
However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, another hand was also stretched out towards the yogurt. The two hands touched each other, which startled Ahes, and the other's hand suddenly retracted.
