Chapter 3874 A Tactful Approach

Brother Fu didn't know when the young girl would finish her work. He first entertained guests at "Jiu De Tang" and waited for half an hour without seeing the young girl come. Then he went to the back room to get some nuts.

The back room of "Jiu De Tang" became the little girl's storage room, with many boxes piled up, each with a label indicating whether it contained fruit or nuts.

Brother Fu chose to serve the snacks on a large plate, with four kinds of nuts on one plate: small walnuts, wild chestnuts, pumpkin seeds, and pine nuts.

After adding nuts, Brother Fu went to get some fruit and refilled the fruit platters on each table.

There were fruits, nuts, and tea. A group of people chatted freely and discussed with great interest the materials used to make the beaded curtains.

Le Xiaotong did not abandon her job to entertain the official visitors; she stayed by the green jade cauldron and slowly brewed the medicine.

As the medicine simmered, the liquid thickened and eventually became a paste.

Watching the ointment cook to the right consistency, Yueyun turned off the heat, then scooped out another spoonful of ointment and bottled it.

Xuan Shao also helped. When there was only half a potion left in the medicine furnace, he heard the little girl shout to stop, so he stopped too.

After the little girl called for a stop, she scooped some medicinal soup from the other two medicine stoves, and poured out some medicinal soup and ointment from the porcelain jars where she had collected the medicinal soup before, and mixed them again.

Even after being mixed, the ointment seemed to have a slightly bitter taste, even in its aroma.

"What is this again?" Young Master Xuan asked in astonishment, bombarding him with a million questions.

"The mortal version of the Lesser Marrow Cleansing Pill, which is the most common version of the Detoxifying and Nourishing Pill." Yue Yun smiled and tossed out a Flame Bead.

Flame Beads are very common in the cultivator cities of the Cloud Ripple Realm. The spheres are filled with fire spirit power injected by cultivators with fire spirit roots.

Many junior cultivators in Yunlan use Flame Pearls as fuel to boil water and brew tea.

Little Loli scavenged ordinary supplies and also acquired a large number of Flame Orbs, which now have a place to be used as heroes.

The Flame Pearl landed inside the fire chamber of the Green Jade Cauldron, drawing out the fire elemental power, which then transformed into flames.

"Huh, the Flame Pearl can be used to refine pills?" Xuan Shao's attention was diverted, and he stared at the fire chamber of the medicine cauldron with great curiosity.

Good heavens, how could he not have thought of that?
When he saw the Flame Beads in Yunlan, he didn't think much of it and only bought a few hundred, thinking that if he was short on time and didn't have much time to start a fire to boil water for tea, he could use them as fuel.

He hadn't considered using the Flame Pearl as fuel for alchemy because, as far as he knew, it was best to use one's own contracted spirit fire when refining pills.

If a contracted spirit fire is unavailable, one must settle for natural fuel.

Natural fuels are not as convenient and precise to control as one's own spiritual fire, but they are formed under natural conditions and have a certain affinity, so they are rarely rejected by the cauldron.

If the medicine cauldron is also a magical artifact bound by a master alchemist's contract, it will generally reject external flames.

"The Flame Pearl can be used as fuel for brewing tea, and of course it can also be used for refining pills, as long as the alchemist isn't afraid of the furnace exploding." Yue Yun laughed as she controlled the flame, then closed the lid of the medicine furnace and used her divine sense to condense the pill.

"So it turns out it's not advisable to use other people's fire elemental power to refine pills. I can have fun again." Xuan Shao was immediately relieved. Otherwise, he would definitely want to beat his chest and regret not getting more Flame Beads.

He hesitated for a few seconds, then asked, "Little beauty, may I ask, how many Flame Beads have you acquired?"

"Not many, maybe just a few million."

"What? You mean millions, or hundreds?"

Xuan Shao almost doubted his ears, wondering if he had misheard.

"What can a few hundred beaded do?" Le Yun wanted to roll her eyes at Xuan Shao. A few hundred flame beads wouldn't even be enough to burn as firewood.

"..." Young Master Xuan looked like a cabbage that had been hit by frost, extremely dejected. If a few million is not a lot, then how many would be considered a lot?
Rich and self-willed!
This little girl is from a wealthy family, so of course she can be willful.

There's no comparison.

Xuan Shao accepted his fate. He also owned a mine, but even so, he was only generous when it came to buying grain. He was still reluctant to spend lavishly on other things.

He was only frustrated for a few seconds before he was back to his usual self, nagging and pestering the little girl, trying to get her to share some of the supplies she had looted with him.

Le Xiaotong ignored Xuan Shao's request, condensed a batch of medicinal paste into pills, removed the fire, put the pills in a jade box, and went to meet her guest.

When the cute and sweet little girl with a huge head of hair and smelling of medicine stepped into "Jiu De Tang", the medical staff had already been sitting in "Jiu De Tang" for a full hour.

The little girl finally popped up, and Brother Fu was overjoyed. He quickly got up, pulled out the chair that was reserved for the little girl, and poured her a cup of tea.

"I'm sorry to have kept the leaders waiting." Although she had left the guests for over an hour, Yue Yun showed no remorse and calmly walked into the council hall.

"It's alright, it's alright, the young lady's work is important."

The staff of the Medical and Health Department greeted their host with smiles. Le Yun walked to the table where the heads of the Medical and Health Department were sitting, and without any formalities, sat in the main seat, picked up the tea that Brother Fu handed her, and took a few sips to moisten her throat.

Brother Fu refilled the young lady's cup, put down the pot, went to the side to get a folder, and prepared to be her secretary.

When Xu saw Fu Ge's actions, he felt extremely resentful. The young girl had just arrived, and the veteran was already preparing to take notes, clearly urging them to get down to business. How could they possibly chat with the young girl about everyday things?

The veterans at the amusement park are so dedicated!

His dedication was so great that he wanted to punch him.

There was no way he would hit someone. Xu Bu chuckled and moved the fruit plate closer to the little girl, then picked up a small walnut and peeled it: "Little dumpling, you've been through a lot in the pharmacy, you must be tired. Take a break and have some fruit."

"Yes, yes, young lady, you've worked hard. Have some tea first."

The staff of the Ministry of Health and Medical Affairs echoed this sentiment.

Le Yun glanced at the group of leaders and got straight to the point: "Boss Xu, let's get straight to the point. Are you all free to have lunch at the amusement park today? If not, don't beat around the bush, just say you have something good to tell me."

Let's be frank. If you're looking for free medical consultations or anything like that, don't even bother asking. And if you're thinking of doing something like Boss Qin's collaborations with me, forget about it."

Chao Jiaxiao's grandson went straight to the point, leaving all the leaders of the Ministry of Health and Medical Affairs completely bewildered.

Xu looked at the little girl and smiled: "Little dumpling, can you be a little more tactful?"

"Oh, is that so? Alright then. Mr. Xu, you and all of you have graced my humble abode with your presence, presumably to inquire about the condition of the seriously ill children in Songhai City and to oversee the progress of the medicine production here. I can give you a definite answer: it will take about another week to refine all the medicines, and it will also take about another week to manufacture the finished medicine."

The leaders' concern for seriously ill children is truly touching. I will do my best. To complete the pharmaceutical work as soon as possible, I will not entertain the leaders further. If the leaders have any work-related requests, please contact the handsome guys at the amusement park.

The little girl instantly became serious, which amused and exasperated Xu Bu: "Little dumpling, I told you to be more tactful, but you just gave us a roundabout way of asking us to leave, and now you're trying to kick us out?"
Even if you don't care about your elder brother's reputation, at least give your uncle some face.

"It was you who told me to be tactful," Yue Yun said, grinning.

"I told you to be tactful, but I didn't tell you to be tactful in seeing us off." Xu placed the peeled walnuts in front of the little girl, his smile warm: "Alright, let's not be tactful anymore. If we're any more tactful, I'm worried you'll immediately say we're busy with work and you don't want to delay our work, so you just see us off from the park like that."

Since we're here, we'll definitely be hoping to get a meal at your place before we leave. So, let's talk things over slowly, no rush, we have plenty of time.

"Boss Xu, I guess it's not a good thing that you're saying this. Anyway, just one sentence: if you want me to bleed money or do free medical consultations or anything like that, forget about it."

Yue Yun didn't care what others thought; she cut off their escape route first.

If it is an official free clinic, she only accepts free clinics for families of martyrs, families of military and police personnel, active/retired military and police personnel, researchers who have contributed to the country's science and technology and defense research, and teachers who have devoted themselves to education.

If you want her to make selfless contributions, such as providing free medical consultations for high-ranking officials or their families in various government departments, then forget about it.

With neither her handsome brother nor the elders of the Chao family present, Le Yun wasn't afraid of offending anyone. To be honest, she knew all too well that if she were more agreeable, she would definitely be taken advantage of.

The little girl looks sweet and gentle, but she has a stubborn temper!

No one in the medical department spoke, leaving Director Xu, who was familiar with the girl, to talk to her.

Director Xu had already explained that he would be staying at the amusement park for a meal. Brother Fu called Brother Chai, Brother Jie, and Brother Qian to inform them to make preparations. He himself stayed to be the young girl's secretary.

The girl's meaning was clear: she was rejecting anyone's advances. Director Xu didn't immediately reveal the purpose of their visit from the Ministry of Health and Medical Affairs, and continued peeling walnuts.

As he placed the shelled walnuts in front of the little girl, he chatted on and on, talking about the flowers, plants, and trees he saw in the courtyard when he entered, and how each one resembled something else.

He was the head of the Ministry of Health and Medical Affairs, but he didn't have a formal medical background. He wasn't proficient in medicinal herbs, nor did he know any medicine.

However, he also knew some common sense and recognized medicinal herbs such as honeysuckle, violet, polygonatum, and notoginseng. He also knew that flowers such as peony, herbaceous peony, and hibiscus were also medicinal herbs.

The little girl's "Langhuan Blessed Land" courtyard is planted with honeysuckle, making it easy to spot.

As soon as the department opened the box, everyone from the medical department joined in the discussion.

We chatted about everything under the sun, including the flowers and plants in the park; the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

When the conversation got lively, Xu kept saying that he wanted to see the little girl's BMW, her fish, and the plant corridor, etc.

Since Boss Xu wasn't getting down to business, Yue Yun smiled and chatted with him. As long as she wasn't asked to make selfless contributions, everything else was negotiable.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say he wasn't in a hurry, but Director Xu remained calm and chatted for a while without getting to the point. He then slowly steered the conversation back to the topic of seriously ill children at Songhai City First Hospital.

When discussing the situation of seriously ill children, medication is naturally an essential part of the conversation.

When talking about medicine, the conversation naturally turned to the core point about how Qin Nian, the head of the Internal Security Department, and several other leaders provided the young girl with medicinal herbs.
