The Marshal’s Wife is Wild

Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Big Clients Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Big Clients Less than three days had passed, and Qu Tong had finished building her simple living space. She made herself a lunch.

For her solo housewarming celebration, Qu Tong made just two dishes.

Green pepper shredded pork, hot and sour cabbage, served with steamed white rice.

On interstellar colonies, only a very few animal and plant species could adapt to the environment. Rice and soybeans were among them. Their taste hadn’t been affected too much, and they had a relatively low pollution index. However, not many people cultivated them, so their prices were slightly higher.

In this life or the previous one, it seemed she had no one with whom she was particularly connected.

Qu Tong took some photos and shared them on her livestream account.

Almost instantly, there were responses, which somewhat surprised Qu Tong.

Luoluo Bufang: “Wow! Miss, you finally came online. I’ve been waiting for you so long the flowers have wilted.”

Awakened by my own coolness: “Girl, why haven’t you been livestreaming? I even got my family to squat and wait for you.”

Forever Love Crown Prince: “Miss, the energy fruits you sent last time were so delicious. Does your family sell them? I really want to buy some!”

Luoluo Bufang: “The dishes today also look so appetizing. Are they made from energy plants as well?”

Qu Tong recognized the ID; it belonged to one of the only three viewers from her previous broadcast.

Qu Tong chose a couple of comments to reply to.

“Thank you for the support. I use this account mainly to share everyday moments, and I livestream sporadically. No need to wait on purpose.”

“These are fruits and vegetables I’ve grown myself. Due to limited manpower, the scale isn’t large and there’s not much surplus. I’ve listed some on my homepage; if you’re interested, you can go buy them yourselves.”

Qu Tong did not expect to make much money from this account just yet. She listed ten portions each of cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and apples.

The prices were set in line with those of the Agricultural Science Institute and weren’t particularly cheap.

Right after listing the items, she received a notification from the Quality Inspection Bureau informing her that her Potion had passed the inspection, and they attached an electronic copy of the official Pharmacist Selling License stamped with the official seal.

There was also a letter of invitation from the Royal Family seeking to recruit Pharmacists.

The letter paper was designed beautifully, with the Royal Family’s unique stamp on the bottom right. The signature belonged to Crown Prince Si Yufan.

Qu Tong did not fully understand the convoluted relationship between the Alchemist Association and the Royal Family, so she decided not to reveal her identity for the time being.

Her knowledge of the Crown Prince came only from the praise she’d seen online.

She had heard he was a good Crown Prince – gentle and courteous, diligent in governance and loving towards his people.

Qu Tong logged into her shop and uploaded the inspection report and license, waiting for verification.

Noticing an incoming message, she casually clicked on it.

It was from a customer who had bought her Potion before, querying politely:
“Hello shop owner, do you have any more Potions for sale? I’d like to buy some more.”

Although she had enabled privacy mode, the system defaulted to treating the two as friends since they had chatted before, allowing the message to come through normally.

Qu Tong: “How much would you like?”

The message was sent and the customer replied almost instantly, “How much do you have, shop owner? I want it all!”

Qu Tong sat up straight. This was a big customer!

“Are you sure? I have 18 bottles left, 3.6 million Star Coins in total. Are you sure you want them all?”

This time, the customer was slower to reply, “Please wait a moment, shop owner. I need to ask.”

Qu Tong understood, as such a big transaction definitely required discussion. She didn’t mind waiting for a while.

“Sure.”

In Donggang Garden on Capital Star, Fei Wenxing sprang up from the sofa and dashed towards the laboratory as fast as the wind.

The lab door was kicked open with a loud “bang.”

The voice of Old Master Fei, full of vigor, could be heard from inside the room.

“You little rascal, are you itching for a beating? I’m discussing important matters with your father and brother, what’s with all this commotion? In your twenties and still so rash, where are your manners?!”

Apart from the three members of the Fei Family, there was also a military officer in the room, who appeared to be around the same age as Old Master Fei.

Fei Wenxing touched his nose and then quickly got excited again, “Grandpa, the shop owner has replied to my message!”

“She did? What did she reply?” Old Master Fei suddenly stood up, visibly excited.

“The shop owner asks how many we want?”

“Of course we want them all! Hurry, hurry, display it on the screen,” Fei Ze directly instructed.

Having experienced the benefits of the potion, Fei Ze had also become excited.

As the concerned party, he had the most direct and clear feeling that the effect of this mere 200,000 Star Coin potion was even better than the best and most expensive potion he had ever taken, so they had to act quickly.

“Commander, your opinion?” Fei Ze had not forgotten to consult with Gong Yun, who was beside him.

He had been too caught up in his triumph just now, and with Gong Yun personally coming over, he definitely couldn’t monopolize this batch of potions; the thought was a bit regrettable.

Gong Yun looked solemnly at the conversation displayed on the screen, pondering in his heart.

The reason he personally came to the Fei family was because of the application to return to duty that Fei Ze had submitted to him today.

Fei Ze’s injuries were far too serious, and although targeted by the Lan Family, he was, after all, the deputy commander he had personally brought up, so he initially intended to assist discreetly.

However, the military hospital had issued the final ultimatum: high-grade spiritual power stabilizing potions were already in short supply in the military, and with the Lan Family obstructing and finding excuses to delay this month’s potion delivery, he was temporarily unable to reallocate any from their supplies.

A man who had been condemned to death, now suddenly applying to return to duty in perfect health, how could he not be shocked?

Upon hearing it was a new potion, he was extremely concerned, and immediately brought a medical officer from the military to rush over.

It was just a pity that the only bottle the Fei Family had was already used, leaving him no starting point for tests.

He had also examined Fei Ze’s Spirit Sea, which indeed had recovered very well, with not a single trace of sequelae from the upheaval.

Moreover, according to Fei Ze’s description, the chronic pain in his Spirit Sea that he had suffered for many years had temporarily eased. He hadn’t felt anything these past two days, feeling light and comfortable all over, as if he had returned to the feel of his teens or twenties.

This made him even more curious about this new potion.

Gong Yun: “Ask if she is willing to communicate, I will talk to her.”

Fei Wenxing acted accordingly: [Shop owner, my elder wishes to speak with you over a call, would that be convenient for you?]
Qu Tong: [Sure.]
The communication was quickly established through the shop’s customer service channel.

“Hello,” Qu Tong was the first to greet them.

Upon hearing a lively and pleasant female voice, everyone was slightly surprised.

“Hello, Miss Ali,” Gong Yun’s voice was steady, carrying an air of strict military discipline.

“Have you made your decision? Do you need all the potions?”

Qu Tong got straight to the point.

“Yes, I plan to purchase all the potions that Miss Ali has,” Gong Yun said, pausing briefly before asking, “I hope you don’t mind me asking, did you prepare these potions yourself, Miss Ali?”

Realizing the politeness of the other party and sensing their possible further needs, and thinking of her own goal and the debt she owed, Qu Tong quickly responded, “No, they were prepared by my master.”

“We have a considerable need for potions. I wonder if Miss Ali and your master would consider a collaboration with us?”

Gong Yun didn’t beat around the bush and directly voiced his intention.
