Zhang Huai said with a smile, "Relying on just yourself to gather herbs won't do. I think you should open an apothecary in town to buy all kinds of herbs and just hire someone to manage it. Our family has a shop space; we can clear out a room for you to use."
"Yes, that's what you should do," Juhua chimed in, nodding eagerly. "That way, when you write prescriptions, you won't have to go to another person's shop if you're short on herbs. Doctor Qin, please let me help you set up this apothecary. Consider it my contribution."
'That was a bit of a stretch. The Clear Condensing Dew alone came from the Imperial Palace; the other medicines must be just as priceless. I made it sound good, but how could I possibly afford them? Besides, his junior sister already lost all that medicine. No matter how expensive tomorrow's prescription is, I'll just have to do my best to help him more in the future to make up for it.'
