Chapter 8, The Mysterious Patient
The vampire beside immediately displayed an expression of anger
Mr. Yang, there is a patient who is currently unable to come here. I wonder if you have time to make a house call?" The vampire slightly bowed and then spoke
I am but a humble person. Is there anything you need assistance with? Yang Feng looked at the old man, who had a stern expression and was dressed entirely in black. His pale and emaciated face made him appear as if he had crawled out from some ancient castle like a vampire
"Alright, one bag for one thousand pounds, and the consultation and medication fees amount to five hundred pounds," Yang Feng said with a shrug. To be honest, he felt somewhat guilty stating this figure, as he had sold it for one thousand francs in France, and now the price had increased by more than ten times, which indeed felt a bit excessive.
Yang Feng looked at him helplessly and said, "Go find a living creature."
He then lost interest in playing the fool. The vampire informed him that their young master had unfortunately contracted syphilis, which had remained untreated for many years. A few days ago, he heard from a French friend that he could cure this illness with a single remedy, which is why he sought them out.
Of course. Yang Feng said, he had made several house calls these days. After giving some instructions about the shop, he sent off Xue Fucheng and others. This fellow took his medicine box and got onto his own carriage. Before leaving, he called out to Lin Luoke, who was getting into a taxi with her classmates: "Caroline, my jewelry will officially go on sale this Sunday. If you're interested, you can bring your classmates over."
This price made Xue Fucheng gasp in shock, looking at Yang Feng with an incredulous expression
What does "cure with medicine" mean? This is what is meant by "cure with medicine"! Let's see the effect tomorrow morning; it may be necessary to administer a few more injections. Yang Feng said as he handed him a business card, "In the future, if anyone suffers from the illnesses listed on this website https://www.hetushu.com, they can come directly to me."
Lin Luoke did not hesitate to take out her small wallet, count out thirty-two pounds, and hand it to her, while the other girls behind her kept urging her to hurry up and step aside
The vampire quickly instructed someone to go out and bring in a sheep.
The next morning, he was once again taken by the vampire to that small manor. At this point, the condition of that fool had shown significant improvement. Yang Feng administered another injection to him and then hurried back to the company
"I can indeed set aside some items from the orders placed by other customers for you, but doing so would entail a significant risk on my part. As you know, my reputation is of utmost importance to me," Yang Feng said.
The Baroness gave him a deep glance, took out five pounds from her small handbag. Yang Feng looked at her and shook his head with an almost imperceptible motion. The Baroness then took out two one-pound coins, but Yang Feng continued to shake his head. The Baroness pushed that pile aside and then directly pulled out a ten-pound note. Yang Feng nodded with the same slight motion. The Baroness glared at him and then took out a fifty.
The Baroness pointed to Olay, Head & Shoulders, and Rejoice body wash, and then extended two fingers
However, to his surprise, the other party showed no objections at all; the fool didn't even pay attention to his words, merely taking the bag of hemostatic powder and curiously admiring it. The vampire then led him out of the study and expressionlessly handed him a check for one thousand five hundred pounds
Two carriages, one in front of the other, quickly left the city. After turning onto a quiet forest path and traveling for nearly half an hour, they arrived at an old-looking manor. After disembarking in front of the door and being led by the vampire, Yang Feng met his patient in a study filled with a cultural atmosphere. The patient was a young man in his early twenties, with a pallor on his face indicative of excessive drinking, clearly a debauched young master who evoked a sense of sympathy in him.
"Is it really that simple?" the vampire said incredulously
"Do you not need to check the condition?" the vampire asked with suspicion, while the fool curiously leaned in.
Although Yang Feng said this, the girls, who are generally quite strict with their upbringing, still feel embarrassed to go to the bathroom to experiment with those shampoos and body washes. However, products like Olay and lipsticks are quite popular among them
May I ask who Mr. Yang is? At that moment, a cold voice suddenly echoed at the door
"There is no need, but I must conduct a skin test, as there is a possibility of drug allergies," Yang Feng said淡淡地说道.
It is evident that you have found the right person, just as your friend mentioned, the right medicine will cure the ailment. Yang Feng said this while taking out the medicine, and he was well-prepared, even bringing along the adrenaline for allergies.
"Dear Madam, I sincerely apologize. I did not anticipate that these products would be so popular, and as a result, the supply has become very tight. If you truly wish to acquire them, you will have to wait for a period of time, and you must place a reservation first," said Mr. Yang, the owner, elegantly dressed in a high-end suit, addressing an angry baroness.
This is only for external use; there is another type for internal use. Hemophilia is caused by a deficiency of a certain clotting factor in the human body, and that medication can supplement this factor. However, it requires refrigeration, so I cannot carry it with me.
Dozens of youthful and beautiful young girls gathered in groups of three or five, playfully teasing each other while applying cosmetics to one another's faces. This scene made Yang Feng involuntarily reflect on the passage of time, realizing that his youth was no more. After all these years of turmoil, he was almost becoming a middle-aged man.
"Can the bones of the dead really be used as medicine?" The young scion asked with an eager expression, clearly looking forward to practicing this issue with Yang Feng.
"Then how long do I need to wait!" the baroness asked through clenched teeth, looking at him with a gaze full of hatred
Yang Feng looked at her with a questioning gaze
I believe this point does not require further explanation His gaze left Yang Feng quite dissatisfied, so he responded in a stiff tone However, observing his expression, Yang Feng always felt that something was amiss
"Madam, you must understand that for the sake of beauty, any woman would go to great lengths, and the same applies to young women," Yang Feng said with a composed expression.
How much is it?" Lin Luoke's excited little face turned red as she piled two bottles of Olay, three bottles of nail polish, two bottles of Head & Shoulders, and a bottle of body wash onto the checkout counter, eagerly saying.
"I heard that people from your place can perform witchcraft. Is that true?" The young scion continued to eagerly entangle him in questions beyond his illness.
The subsequent process went smoothly. After the skin test showed no allergic reaction, Yang Feng administered a dose of penicillin to the fool using an old-fashioned steel syringe. After observing for a while and finding no unexpected issues, he began to tidy up the medicine box
The effectiveness of the experiment is naturally beyond question. Although the upper class in this era still maintains a resistant attitude towards makeup, this cannot hinder the trend of young women loving beauty. Unfortunately, the options available for them to choose from are indeed too few. It is important to note that the truly popular skincare product, Pond's Snow Cream, will take another five years to be developed, and crossing the Atlantic from the United States also requires some time.
Lin Luoke and her group of classmates had a tremendous advertising effect. By the next day, Jinyuan Company was already bustling with customers, and as time went on, the number increased and the clientele became more upscale. Initially, it was just female students from Cambridge, but later, ladies from London also joined the rush to purchase, forcing Yang Feng to make another late-night trip to restock.
"Four pounds per bottle," said the young and beautiful cashier, carefully selected by Yang Fengqian, with an elegant smile.
I am very pleased to serve you!" Yang Feng said with a beaming smile.
We want this thing!" the vampire said without hesitation
"Yes, I intend to use witchcraft to cure you. You should be cautious, as my medicine might very well be concocted from the bones of the dead," Yang Feng suddenly said with a sly smile.
Damn it, this is an idiot! This person couldn't help but think to himself.
"Ladies, how is the effect?" Yang Feng said with a smile, resembling a peculiar old man as he squeezed into their midst. No sooner had he finished speaking than the young women roughly pushed him aside, and then he watched as these girls pounced on the shelves like hungry wolves, instantly clearing all the skincare products, leaving Xue Fucheng and his group of old men dumbfounded.
Make a cut on the blood vessel!" Yang Feng said as he took out a bag of hemostatic powder
The wealthy, truly wealthy! On the way back, Boss Yang looked at the check in his hand with deep emotion, contemplating how to exploit more in the future, for instance, next time he must ride in an aluminum alloy carriage.
So is there a method to obtain it in the shortest time possible The other party is not foolish and certainly understands this person's intentions
Lin Luoke nodded at him with a satisfied smile
Of course not, it was just a joke. Yang Feng immediately restored his elegant smile
It is not feasible! In the future, we must control the quantity; we cannot continue selling like this. We need to adopt a model where payment is made before goods are collected, and additionally, prices need to be increased. The booming sales immediately revealed the true nature of Yang, the unscrupulous businessman. After selling a total of 3 tons of daily chemical products, Jinyuan Company had no choice but to inform the customers who came to purchase.
The next scene nearly made the vampire and the fool's eyes pop out; who has ever witnessed the sight of a fountain-like stream of fresh blood stopping within a matter of seconds?
Are you Chinese? The young scion looked at him with great curiosity, much like a child who has just discovered a fascinating new toy
Now, the noblewomen in Europe, at most, only seek the pharmacist to prepare some oils and waters for them. Items like Baqi Lan are reserved exclusively for royalty. As for the young girls, they have no access to such products. When they apply Yulan Oil to their faces, it is as if the parched earth is suddenly drenched by a torrential rain. Within a few minutes, they each let out exclamations, looking at each other's visibly more delicate faces as if in a dream. They have no access to such products.

"Your mother, who has the interest to see your filthy sores?" this person thought to himself
"Can you really cure hemophilia?" the vampire asked with a strange expression.
This will take at least two months. You probably do not know that these goods need to be shipped from distant China. It takes several days for a telegram to be sent from here to there, and then it takes even more time to load the ship and transport it here
"A bottle of powder made from one or two taels of gold applied to the face?" Xue Fucheng said to Yang Feng in a low voice, almost gritting his teeth
