Chapter 211 Universal Ointment
Wu Ba, also known as Wu Kai, was given this nickname because of the scar on his face.
When Wu Kai heard someone shouting, he turned around and generously showed everyone the scar on his face that was so faint that it was almost invisible.
The raised scar had been smoothed down, and it looked like the rest of the skin on his face. There was a shallow line from the corner of his eye to his right cheek. It was more like a line lightly drawn on his face with very light rouge than a scar.
Everyone stared at him, and someone asked uncertainly, "Are you the Wu Ba who lives in Bai Ma Lane?"
Wu Kai nodded, "It's me."
"Wu Ba... No, Wu Er, how did the scar on your face disappear?"
"I used the multi-purpose ointment from the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion."
Wu Kai reached out from his arms and took out the box of multi-purpose ointment which still had a little bit of liquid left, and opened it to show everyone.
Ever since Shang Wan gave him a box of multi-purpose ointment, he had been applying the ointment on time every day, without missing a single day, with the attitude of trying everything possible.
There was no change in the scar in the past two days, and he was a little disappointed. But thinking that his scar had been there for nearly ten years, it was impossible to heal it in just two days, so he continued to apply the medicine.
After applying the medicine for about ten days, the scars on his face had faded significantly.
The first person to discover it was Wu Kai’s eldest brother.
Wu Dalang and his wife went to his father-in-law's house to help. He hadn't seen his younger brother for almost half a month. When he came back and saw him, he noticed the changes in Wu Kai.
Wu Kai was shocked and suspicious when he heard this. His sister-in-law ran to get him a mirror. He looked carefully and found that the scar was indeed much smaller, as if someone had flattened it with a roller.
The whole family was so happy that Wu Dalang even sent Shang Wan a thank-you gift.
Wu Kai used to use water to look at his face, but after discovering that the ointment was really effective, he bought a small mirror to carry with him.
Seeing the scars on my face fading day by day, I feel so happy.
Even his nephew laughed at him for looking in the mirror eighty times a day.
“I’m not afraid of being laughed at because of this scar on my face. I’m already over 30 and still haven’t found a wife.
Fortunately, Brother He recommended me to work for Shopkeeper Shang. Shopkeeper Shang is a kind-hearted man. Seeing the scar on my face, he gave me a box of multi-purpose ointment without asking me to pay. He told me to tell everyone if I found it useful.
Wu Kai pointed at his face and said, "You all know what my face looked like before, right? Not to mention girls, even I disliked it when I saw it. Now it's better. Look closely. I don't have anything stuck on my face. It's flat, flat."
He rubbed his fingers vigorously where the scar had been.
His fingertips had calluses and he was very strong, so he rubbed them until they turned red, as if he had applied rouge.
"Look, there's really nothing stuck on it. My scars have been gone for ten years, this multi-purpose ointment is really effective. You all buy a box and try it. I, Wu Er, can guarantee that there is no scar removal medicine in the city that is better than this multi-purpose ointment."
It is rare for a usually taciturn person to speak so many words in one breath.
Wu Kai said excitedly, "I'm getting married next month, everyone is welcome to come!"
This sentence directly pushed the atmosphere to a climax. Everyone burst into laughter. Wu Kai scratched his head with a red face and quickly slipped into the shop.
Shang Wan didn't expect Wu Kai to have such eloquence, and nothing she had prepared was used.
With the nursery rhymes being sung in the past and Wu Kai's empirical evidence behind it, many people were crazy about the all-purpose ointment.
"Shopkeeper Shang, when will you let us in?"
"That's right. I've been standing here for quite some time, but I still haven't seen what the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion looks like."
"I want to buy the all-purpose ointment, quickly!"
Shang Wan waved his hand, "Everyone, don't be anxious, listen to me first. Today our Spiritual Medicine Pavilion is newly opened. In order to establish a good relationship with you, all customers who buy medicine in the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion today will get half price. Only today, if you miss it, it will be gone."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people were immediately excited, and some people even shouted in the crowd.
"What are you waiting for? Go in and buy some medicine!"
"If you miss this village, you will miss this shop!"
"Don't go in front of you and don't block the road!"
Everyone was clamoring and heading towards the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. Even if they had originally come simply to join in the fun, now that they were swept up in the lively atmosphere, they all felt that they would be missing out if they didn't buy some while the prices were low.
The atmosphere group hired by Shang Wan was well-known among the crowd and followed them into the shop.
As soon as they entered the shop, the people couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
What amazed them was not anything else but the glass cabinet that Shang Wan had hired at great expense.
Shang Wan imitated the design of modern drug stores, with floor-to-ceiling cabinets for storing medicine boxes and bottles. The top and the side facing customers are made of transparent colored glass. Light shines in from all directions, and the colorful porcelain bottles shine brightly, which is very beautiful.
Everyone couldn't help but walk over to take a look. They didn't dare to touch the clean and translucent cabinet surface, for fear of damaging it.
Yuan Qiao stood behind the glass cabinet and introduced the effects of various ointments to the customers.
She has a pretty appearance, speaks fluently and is not afraid of strangers. Her voice is crisp and has the sweetness unique to a young girl, which is very pleasant to hear.
Shang Wan gave her three days of urgent training and then brought her to the job.
Yuan Qiao pointed to the medicine box on the top of the medicine cabinet and introduced, "These square boxes are all-purpose ointments. There are three types in total. The red box has the strongest efficacy and is suitable for those with serious injuries. This is the type that Brother Wu Kai uses, and it costs ten taels of silver per box.
The blue box has the second best effect, suitable for those with less serious injuries, and costs five taels of silver per box. The white box has the third best effect, suitable for those with minor injuries, and costs two taels of silver per box.
The three ointments are only suitable for different injuries, but they all have the effect of removing scars and beautifying the skin after long-term use, and can also promote wound healing. "
The price of the ointment is really not cheap, and many people who came for the all-purpose ointment hesitated.
Yuan Qiao smiled and said, "The shopkeeper said it's half price today, you can buy a box and try it. Whether it's burns or other wounds, the universal ointment is very effective, even for mosquito bites. If your child has a rash, you can buy the white box and try it. It works in one go, I guarantee you'll come back for more."
Wu Kai chimed in, "Although the medicine box is small, it is very durable. I apply it twice a day and there is still some left after more than a month."
The two of them sang in unison, and someone couldn't help but say, "Give me a white box."
Someone started talking, and others followed suit.
"I want a box of white ones, too."
"I want the red boxes. Two boxes please."
"The blue box."
“The red one.”
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 boxes were sold. Yuan Qiao smiled even more happily and introduced the products more enthusiastically.
Several aunts, led by Aunt Zhou and Aunt Yao, were responsible for taking the customers who had received the medicine to the counter to pay.
Lu Chengjing was keeping accounts and collecting money behind the counter, while Shang Wan was walking around the shop with his hands behind his back. He caught several people who were trying to take advantage of the situation and cause trouble. He tied them all up and threw them into the backyard to be dealt with later.
The atmosphere group appears randomly in corners where people gather, and its effect in stimulating consumption is outstanding.
"Sisters, this is Yurong Powder. Mix it with the medicine and apply it on your face. Your face will be as tender as tofu pudding."
The restaurant owner, Madam Lou, stood among a group of women and introduced loudly, "Look at me, I have only used it three times, and I just applied it this morning. Isn't my face white and bright?"
