Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Developed Sinister Thoughts

He Hongmao gradually discovered that there was actually a pattern hidden among these characters. Once he grasped the secrets, identifying them became as smooth as flowing clouds and water.

When all was settled, He Hongmao respectfully handed over a heavy silver note of one hundred Silver Taels. Far from feeling any reluctance, his heart was filled with full anticipation and confidence for the future.

Meanwhile, Su Yu strolled leisurely inside the building, her gaze sharp, easily spotting possibilities for enhancing space utilization efficiency.

Every suggestion she proposed hit the mark precisely, like sharp arrows.

"The front and back courtyards are spacious. Why not refurbish the back into a dedicated stable, providing fodder to solve the issue of customers’ horse accommodations? The front yard can have a clear parking area outlined with white lime, facilitating convenient parking for guests arriving by carriage or sedan chair."

Her words revealed a delicate consideration as though she had already foreseen the bustling scene of guests crowding the place in the future.

Regarding the first floor, she remained cautiously reserved, but for the private rooms on the second floor, she put forth bold innovative ideas, "The second floor should reshape its appearance, aiming for a fresh, refined, private, and elegant look. Thus, when VIPs step onto the second floor, we could appropriately charge a private room service fee, as for the fee structure, it entirely depends on your business acumen, Boss He."

As He Hongmao listened, he was all ears, afraid of missing any detail that could elevate the class of the building.

Seeing his dedication, Su Yu knew he was genuinely eager to do well, so she generously shared her promotional strategies, "New decorations, new dishes, and on the reopening day, we must create a buzz to attract a crowd. As long as the taste of the dishes is well-received, good reputation will naturally spread."

He Hongmao nodded repeatedly, eager to know the specific methods, admitting that in this area of creativity, he was far inferior to the nimble-minded Su Yu.

"Right, how exactly should we do it?"

he asked eagerly, his eyes full of anticipation.

Yet Su Yu smiled mysterially, "No hurry. After the building is completely revitalized, we’ll discuss in detail. For now, I must rush home to reassure Xie Xinghua, as I didn’t return all of last night, and she must be extremely worried."

However, He Hongmao misunderstood Su Yu’s intention, thinking she was deliberately avoiding the subject, which inadvertently made him feel somewhat disappointed and helpless.

Little did he know, Su Yu’s thoughts were all about planning more comprehensively for the next steps.

He quickly adopted a sincere posture, his eyes gleaming with a solemn promise, assuring, "Miss, please be assured that once this building’s business flourishes and gold and silver are plentiful, I will never forget your kindness and will definitely provide a generous reward."

Su Yu, seeing his anxious expression, slightly curved her lips into a gentle smile, knowing that he had misunderstood her. So she softly explained, "Boss He, you worry too much. My cooperation with you is based on long-term considerations. I have already accepted the payment for the menu, and I ask for no more. Today is an exceptional case; there are some urgent matters at home that require my attention, and I must return immediately. On the market day in Sijiu Town, I will be at Huichun Hall to offer medical consultation. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to find me, and I will spare no detail."

Su Yu’s words, direct and sincere, unwittingly made He Hongmao feel a wave of embarrassment, chastising himself for suspecting her of lesser intentions.

He was even more amazed to learn that this seemingly fragile lady was practicing medicine at Huichun Hall, with extensive medical skills, respectfully admiring her in his heart: truly a remarkable woman!

Since both had been open with each other and left contact information, He Hongmao found it inappropriate to detain her any further.

Thus, amidst a harmonious atmosphere, Su Yu bid farewell to Drunken Immortal Building and embarked on her journey to Tongren Hall.

Upon arriving at the gate of Tongren Hall, the carriage Su Yu was riding in had just come to a stop when the alert Changliu greeted her quickly like a breath of spring, wearing a professional smile.

"Miss Su, are you here to see Doctor Shen?"

His voice was clear, and his attitude was enthusiastic.

As for Su Yu, her impression of Changliu was neither good nor bad; she simply found him too slippery and thus did not engage in much small talk, stating her purpose directly.

"Indeed, I have matters to discuss with Doctor Shen."

Faced with Su Yu’s coldness, Changliu did not mind but responded even more respectfully, "Master Cao is currently examining the medicinal herbs in the inner room, please wait a moment."

With that, he smoothly took the reins Su Yu handed him, his movements skillful and humble.

Su Yu nodded slightly and immediately stepped into Tongren Hall.

Inside a plainly dressed man, who looked like a farmer who tills the fields, was talking to Zheng Jun, with several new scrapes on his cheeks, seemingly caused by tree branches in a hurry.

This man was unfamiliar, most likely from a neighboring village.

"Doctor Shen, could you perhaps add a bit more Silver? My family is really too poor to get by, and we’re counting on the goods this time to earn some money, to keep the family stable for a few days."

The man’s tone was filled with hope and helplessness.

Hearing this, Zheng Jun furrowed his brow, seeming a bit troubled, but his words were unusually righteous, "I truly can’t offer more. I know how much your mother’s yearly medical expenses are. I would not consider taking this if what you brought this time wasn’t passable."

Seeing that the other party was still hesitant, Zheng Jun changed his strategy and continued in an almost cajoling tone, "Look, for this kind of goods, I can only pay two Silver Taels at most. Calculate it for yourself, how much would it cost for your mother’s medication for a year? You need to figure out which is more cost-effective."

For most hard-working farmers, two Silver Taels were undoubtedly a considerable fortune, enough to solve many urgent needs.

The man gripped the two Silver Taels, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

These substantial Silvers, although not enough to completely change the dire straits of his family, were enough to bring a smile to his hard-working wife and to clothe his children in the new clothes they dreamt of.

Yet, whenever it was deep into the night and all was quiet, the thought of his mother’s pain-twisted form made his heart ache as if being cut by a knife.

At this moment, he resolutely decided that for his family’s livelihood, he would overcome any danger that came his way.

The forest was fraught with dangers, but as long as he thought of the warmth of home, everything seemed worth it.

Su Yu, with her keen gaze, noticed that what the man pulled out from his sleeve was not ordinary and was immediately intrigued.

The Purple Ganoderma, with its rich color resembling the radiant light blooming in the deep night, although slightly inferior to the Red Ganoderma, its rare size alone indicated its extraordinary value.

Her brows furrowed slightly, internally weighing, such a rare item, only exchanged for merely two Silver Taels, not to mention that it was traded for lifesaving medication money, was truly outrageous.

When Su Yu’s crisp challenging voice cut through the noise, the entire pharmacy instantly quieted down, everyone’s gaze seemed to converge, all turning toward this outspoken woman.
