Within a few days, the reputation of the Mo-style tavern’s medicinal wines, especially the half-summer wine, spread far and wide throughout the third district.
The limited daily production of the half summer wine made many wealthy merchants rush to the hotel, and the hotel benefited from the good business of the tavern, with rooms fully booked several days early every day.
Lin Mo and Black Liu decided to continue to expand their operations and build Mo’s business empire as the next step.
On this day, Curator Liu went to Hui Chun Hall to buy the herbs for the Half Summer Wine as usual.
“Why did you come in person again? For a big shot like you, just send a waiter to let you know and I will arrange for the herbs to be delivered to you. It’s too degrading for you!”
“Doctor Hui Chun, you also know that the Half Summer Wine is the same medicinal wine as the Tang Clan Chief, so if anything goes wrong, the entire Mo’s Hotel and Tavern will suffer a loss.”
“You are making too big a deal out of it, don’t you trust the medicinal materials of my Hui Chun Hall? You are in a different position now, and the director of the Mo’s group has taken the top credit for the development of the group to what it is today.
If you are still working as a waiter every day, it means that Boss Mo has never given you a higher regard!”
Liu curator was so confused by the Hui Chun physician’s compliments that he felt his stature had indeed become extraordinary, and now even a medicine shop physician could see that he was still diligently serving the front line.
A fall in stature indeed!
“Physician Hui Chun, you have rather put me straight today, how about this, I have other important things to do today, so I won’t wait here for you to equip the herbs, you can then just deliver the herbs directly to Mo’s Tavern at the pier.”
“Good, don’t worry, I’ll deliver it to you in a moment.”
Liu stroked his neatly-knitted beard on his chin and swaggered out, while Dr. Huichun of the pharmacy was looking like a villain.
In the herbs equipped for the half summer wine, the Hui Chun physician replaced the half summer with Tian Nan Xing.
Although these two herbs have different names, they are very similar in appearance and taste, but their efficacy is a thousand miles away.
The two herbs were similar in appearance and taste, but their effects were very different. Moreover, Tian Nan Xing and Bai Bai Bai Zi in the pharmacy were incompatible, so taking them together would aggravate coughing, and long-term use would lead to a deficiency of Qi and blood, making them bedridden.
Lin Mo could not see the difference for a while, but by the time the guests had consumed it for a long time and found that their coughing problems had worsened, it would be too late!
By that time, the entire Mo’s would have collapsed in a sea of curses.
As he thought of this, Dr. Hui Chun thought that the game he had set up was perfect!
Ever since Lin Mo had come to Block 3, his own reputation had been tarnished because of Patriarch Tang’s remark about quackery, and no one came to him for treatment anymore.
Now he could only rely on Mo’s Tavern’s supply of half-summer wine herbs as the only source of income for the medicine shop.
This made Dr Hui Chun hold a grudge against Lin Mo and had always wanted to take the opportunity to bring down Lin Mo’s shop.
This time he had to seize the opportunity firmly, and with Lin Mo defeated, he would return to his former glory.
Dr. Hui Chun personally delivered the tampered herbs to Mo’s Tavern, and the waiter was still amazed as to why it wasn’t Director Liu who delivered them today.
The waiter was still surprised as to why the herbs were not delivered today. Dr. Hui Chun explained that it was Mr. Liu who had entrusted him to deliver them.
The waiter didn’t ask any more questions, took the herbs and was about to send them to the tavern where the medicinal solution was developed.
Lin Mo had already taught a few reliable pharmacists to make the recipe for the half summer wine, so as long as Lin Mo did not go to inspect it, with the level of those pharmacists they would not find any problems with the herbs.
After watching the herbs being sent in smoothly, Dr. Hui Chun was still unsure, in case Lin Mo went in, he would be exposed and could only wait until all the half summer wine was finished before leaving.
He simply sat down at the tavern and ordered a table of food, so that if Lin Mo did go in, he could find a way to distract him.
Soon, the faulty half summer wine was processed and ready to be put into the wine cabinet for sale.
At this time, Lin Mo was inspecting the wine cabinet, and Dr. Hui Chun was not afraid, after all, Lin Mo would not detect any abnormality in the wine that was put into the bottle.
