In the following three days, Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun had to prepare two large basins of medicinal balls every day. Despite the overwhelming aroma of the herbs, they were happy. After deducting all their costs, they made a daily net profit of 960 yuan. Adding the initial 148 yuan, they had earned a total of 3,000 yuan in just four days. Earning money so effortlessly made Jiang Yexun, who had never been fond of studying, suddenly realize the importance of knowledge.
Finally, on the third day, after enduring the taste of their medicine and food, Jiang Yexun and Su Xiaoxiao brought their new formula and freshly gathered herbs to the large courtyard.
As they arrived at the yard, Aunt Lin greeted them with a smile. "The old master knew you'd come today. He had me prepare snow pear stewed with rock sugar. Should I get it for you now?"
"Thank you, Aunt Lin," Su Xiaoxiao said politely but somewhat distant. Then they went into the small building.
