The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 215 All-Purpose Ointment

Wu Ba is also known as Wu Kai, a nickname given to him because of the scar on his face.

When Wu Kai heard someone calling him, he turned around and generously showed everyone the faint scar on his face that was almost invisible.

The raised scar has smoothed out and blends in with the rest of the skin on my face. The faint line running from the corner of my eye to my right cheek, more like a light stroke of rouge on my face than a scar.

Everyone stared at them, and someone asked uncertainly, "Are you Wu Ba, the one who lives in Baima Lane?"

Wu Kai nodded. "It's me."

"Wu Ba... no, Wu Er, where did the scar on your face go?"

"I used the multi-purpose ointment from Lingyao Pavilion."

Wu Kai reached into his pocket and pulled out the box of multi-purpose ointment that was almost empty, then opened it to show everyone.

Ever since Shang Wan gave him a box of multi-purpose ointment, he had been applying it every day without fail, as if he had nothing to lose.

He was slightly disappointed when the scar didn't change much in the first two days, but then he thought that his scar had been there for nearly ten years, and it couldn't be healed in just two days, so he continued to apply the medicine.

After about ten days of applying the medicine, the scars on his face had faded significantly.

The first to discover it was Wu Kai's older brother.

Wu Dalang and his wife went to help at his father-in-law's house. They hadn't seen his younger brother for almost half a month, and when they returned, they immediately noticed the changes in Wu Kai.

Wu Kai was both surprised and suspicious when he heard this. His sister-in-law ran to get him a mirror, and when he looked at himself carefully, he found that the scar had indeed sunk quite a bit, as if someone had flattened it with a millstone.

The family was overjoyed, and Wu Dalang even specially sent Shang Wan a thank-you gift.

Wu Kai used to use water to reflect his face, but after discovering that the ointment was truly effective, he bought a small mirror to carry with him.

Seeing the scars on my face fade day by day made me incredibly happy.

Even his nephew laughs at him for looking in the mirror eighty times a day.

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at, because with this scar on my face, I'm over thirty and still haven't gotten married."

Luckily, Brother He recommended me to work for Manager Shang. Manager Shang is a kind man; seeing the scar on my face, he gave me a box of all-purpose ointment without asking for any money, telling me to tell everyone how it worked for me.

Wu Kai pointed to his face, "You all know what my face used to look like, right? Not to mention girls, even I was disgusted by it. But now it's great. Come closer and take a look. I didn't put anything on my face. It's flat, flat."

He rubbed the area where the scar used to be vigorously with his fingers.

His fingertips were calloused, and he rubbed them so hard that they turned red, as if he had applied rouge.

"Look, I really didn't put anything on it. My scar has faded even after ten years. This all-purpose ointment is really effective. You should all buy a box and try it. I, Wu Er, dare to guarantee that there is no better scar removal medicine in the whole city than this all-purpose ointment."

It was rare for someone who was usually quiet to speak so much in one go.

Wu Kai said excitedly, "I'm getting married next month, everyone is welcome to come!"

This remark immediately brought the atmosphere to a climax, and everyone burst into laughter. Wu Kai blushed, scratched his head, and quickly slipped into the shop.

Shang Wan was surprised by Wu Kai's eloquence; she hadn't needed anything she had prepared.

With nursery rhymes circulating and Wu Kai's testimonials following, many people are crazy about the multi-purpose ointment.

"Manager Shang, when will we be allowed to go in?"

"That's right, we've been standing here for ages and still haven't seen what the Spirit Medicine Pavilion looks like."

"I need to buy multi-purpose ointment, hurry up!"

Shang Wan waved her hand, "Everyone, don't rush, let me say a few words first. Today is the grand opening of our Spirit Medicine Pavilion, and to establish good relations with everyone, all customers who buy medicine at the Spirit Medicine Pavilion today will receive a 50% discount. This offer is only valid today, so don't miss it." As soon as she said this, the crowd erupted in excitement, and some even shouted from the crowd.

"What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and go inside to buy medicine!"

"Once you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another one!"

"Don't block the way if you're not going in!"

The crowd clamored and scrambled into the Spirit Medicine Pavilion. Even those who had originally come simply to join in the fun were now swept up in the lively atmosphere and felt that they would be missing out if they didn't take advantage of the cheap prices.

Among the crowd, the atmosphere-creating team hired by Shangwan, whose contributions were kept hidden, followed them into the shop.

Upon entering 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 commissioned to be made at a high price.

Shangwan is designed in the style of a modern pharmacy, with floor-standing cabinets displaying medicine boxes and bottles. The top and the side facing the customers are made of transparent glass, and when light shines from all sides, the various colored porcelain bottles shimmer and sparkle, making it very beautiful.

The crowd couldn't help but go over to take a look, but they didn't dare to touch the clean and translucent countertop, worried that they would damage it.

Yuan Qiao stood behind the glass cabinet, introducing the effects of various ointments to the guests.

She has a pretty face, speaks fluently and is not shy, and has a crisp voice with a sweet, youthful quality that is very pleasant to hear.

Shang Wan gave her three days of intensive training and then put her on the job.

Yuan Qiao pointed to the medicine boxes on the top of the medicine cabinet and explained, "These square boxes contain all-purpose ointments. There are three types, with the red box having the strongest effect, suitable for those with serious injuries. Brother Wu Kai uses this one, which costs ten taels of silver per box."

The blue box medicine is of slightly lower efficacy and is suitable for those with minor injuries; it costs five taels of silver per box. The white box medicine is of slightly lower efficacy and is suitable for those with minor injuries; it costs two taels of silver per box.

The three ointments are only suitable for different types of injuries, but with prolonged use, they all have the effect of reducing scars, beautifying the skin, and promoting wound healing.

The price of the ointment is really not cheap, and many people who came for the multi-purpose ointment hesitated.

Yuan Qiao smiled and said, "The shopkeeper said it's half price today, so everyone can buy a box to try. This multi-purpose ointment is very effective for burns, scalds, and other wounds. It even works for mosquito bites. If your child has a rash, you can buy the white box to try. It works after just one use, and I guarantee you'll come back to buy it again."

Wu Kai chimed in from the side, "Don't let the small size of the medicine box fool you, it's incredibly durable. I apply it twice a day, and it's been going on for over a month with some left over."

The two were exchanging pleasantries when someone couldn't help but say, "Give me a box of the white ones."

Once someone started, others followed suit.

"I want a box of the white ones too."

"I want the red box, two boxes, please."

"The blue box."

"A red box."

In the blink of an eye, about twenty boxes were sold, and Yuan Qiao smiled even more happily, introducing the products with even more enthusiasm.

Several women, led by Aunt Zhou and Aunt Yao, were responsible for guiding the customers who had received their medicine to the counter to pay.

Lu Chengjing kept accounts and collected money behind the counter, while Shang Wan strolled around the shop with her hands behind her back, catching several troublemakers who were trying to cause trouble. She tied them all up and threw them into the backyard, planning to deal with them later.

The atmosphere-building team randomly appears in various corners where crowds gather, and its effect on stimulating consumption is outstanding.

"Sisters, this is Yu Rong San (a traditional Chinese medicine powder). Mix it with the medicine and apply it to your face. Your face will be so tender, like tofu."

The restaurant owner, Mrs. Lou, stood among a group of women and loudly introduced herself, "Look at me! I've only used it three times, and I just applied it this morning. Isn't my face white and radiant?"
