Chapter 194 Research Begins
The door slowly opened, and Li Ming walked in, holding a pot of tea in his hand, with a respectful look. "Miss, are you busy? I brought tea, please take a rest."
"Thank you, Li Ming." Chen Fang took the teapot, poured a cup gently, and savored it carefully. "This research is very comprehensive. We can optimize the formula based on this data." Her eyes sparkled with excitement.
Li Ming sat opposite her and listened carefully. "Miss, what aspects do you think need improvement?"
"First, the proportion of herbs." Chen Fang turned a page and pointed to the data on it. "According to the research, the effects of some herbs are not as good as we expected. On the contrary, the effects of some ingredients are more significant."
Li Ming nodded, a hint of approval in his eyes. "I noticed that, too. The herb called 'Qingling Grass' in particular seems to have performed particularly well in the survey."
"That's right." Chen Fang smiled slightly, secretly relieved in her heart, "We can consider increasing the dosage of Qingling Grass and reducing the proportion of other herbs in order to achieve the best effect."
"Miss, you are really smart." Li Ming praised sincerely, "If we can implement this data into the formula, it will definitely make our medicine more effective."
"But this is not an easy task." Chen Fang sighed, "We need to conduct multiple tests to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the formula."
"I will do my best to assist you in the experiment." Li Ming said firmly, "No matter how tedious the work is, I am willing to stay by your side."
Chen Fang looked at him gratefully, feeling warm in her heart. "I feel safe with you by my side. We must act quickly and strive to showcase our results at the Chinese Medicine Expo next month."
Li Ming smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "I will sort out the materials needed for the experiment as soon as possible to ensure that everything goes smoothly."
"Okay." Chen Fang nodded, her heart full of confidence, "We want to let more people know about our medicines and help those in need."
At this moment, there was another sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then Uncle Wang pushed the door open and walked in with a serious look on his face. "Miss, Li Ming, something happened outside, you need to be careful."
"Uncle Wang, what happened?" Chen Fang immediately put away his smile and his expression became serious.
"I heard that there are a few criminals who specialize in stealing other people's formulas at the medicinal materials expo and even threaten those participants." Uncle Wang's voice was low and urgent. "I am worried about your and Li Ming's safety."
Li Ming frowned, and was secretly alert. "How should we deal with it?"
"I will send people to strengthen the guards around to ensure your safety." Uncle Wang said firmly, "At the same time, Miss, you must be careful at the Expo and do not reveal your formula easily."
Chen Fang's heart tightened. Although she was confident in her formula, anything could happen in this turbulent era. "I understand, Uncle Wang. Thank you for your reminder."
"I will arrange everything as soon as possible to ensure your safety." Uncle Wang said, turned around and left in a hurry.
"It seems we have to speed up the process." Chen Fang said to Li Ming, with a determined light in her eyes, "Before the Expo, we must complete the test to ensure that our formula is good enough."
"Yes, Miss." Li Ming nodded, a hint of urgency in his eyes, "I will start preparing immediately and make sure everything is ready."
"Come in." Chen Fang looked up and spoke in a gentle voice.
The door slowly opened, and a burly businessman walked in, smiling and holding a roll of parchment in his hand. "Ms. Chen, Mr. Li, I'm here today to discuss the purchase of medicinal materials with you."
"Welcome, Boss Zhang." Chen Fang smiled and motioned for him to take a seat. "Excuse me, have you brought the list of medicinal materials we need?"
"That's right." Boss Zhang spread the parchment on the table and said seriously, "This is the list of medicinal materials I compiled according to your previous request. It lists the source and price of each herb in detail."
Li Ming approached and looked at the list carefully. "The prices of these herbs seem to have increased compared to last time. Can you explain why?"
Boss Zhang nodded, his expression becoming serious. "The recent abnormal weather has caused a decrease in the production of some medicinal materials, especially the 'Qingling Grass' you need. The supplier's supply is tight, so the price has been raised."
"I understand." Chen Fang pondered for a moment, his eyes firm, "But we must ensure the quality of the medicinal materials and cannot compromise because of the price."
"Of course." Boss Zhang responded quickly, "I will personally go to various herbal medicine markets to ensure that every herb you need is of top quality."
"Is there anything else you want to add?" The businessman smiled and glanced over the list.
"We also need some special herbs, such as 'Frost Flower' and 'Silver Vine', which have shown good results in research." Chen Fang said seriously, with a firm tone in his voice.
"Frostflowers are expensive, but the supply of golden and silver vines is sufficient." Boss Zhang quickly flipped through the information in his hand. "If you need it, I can contact a reliable supplier for you as soon as possible."
"Please hurry up." Li Ming interrupted, "We are under time pressure and must complete all preparations before the Chinese Medicine Expo."
"I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Boss Zhang nodded, his expression becoming serious. "However, Miss, you also know that the quality of medicinal materials is often proportional to the price. If you want high-quality herbs, the cost will inevitably increase."
"I understand." Chen Fang sighed slightly, weighing the pros and cons in her mind, "But we can't affect the effect of the formula because of the cost. If the medicine fails to meet expectations, the loss will be even greater."
"You're right." Boss Zhang nodded in agreement. "I will try my best to get you the best price, but I hope you can understand the fluctuations in the market."
"We will try our best to control the budget, but quality comes first." Chen Fang said firmly, "If you can guarantee the quality of the medicinal materials, I am willing to pay a reasonable fee."
"Deal." Boss Zhang smiled with satisfaction, secretly rejoicing in his heart, "I will prepare all the necessary herbs as soon as possible and ensure that they are delivered to you before the Expo."
"Thank you, Boss Zhang." Chen Fang smiled slightly, feeling relieved. "With your support, our plan will go more smoothly."
"Then I won't bother you any more." Boss Zhang stood up and straightened his clothes. "I will contact the suppliers as soon as possible and try to deliver the herbs in the shortest possible time."
"Thank you." Li Ming also stood up and watched Boss Zhang leave, his outlook for the future becoming more determined.
"Li Ming, we need to speed up the progress of the experiment." Chen Fang turned around, his eyes determined, "Before the herbs arrive, we must ensure that every detail of the formula is verified."
