Chapter 18 A Week Later
After the auction at the merchants' guild, we returned to the shop with 170 white gold coins and 123 gold coins. Previously I had been able to exchange all gold coins into white gold coins at the merchants' guild after knowing that i could exchanged coins there. I thought in this city we could not exchange coins because I did not see any bank here, if I did not ask Adelia, I have to carry more than 400 gold coins weighing more than 15 kg from selling spices, plus there is 168 white gold coins too. It will be very troublesome to carry it.
"Looks like I have to buy a safe from the internet, I can't put this money in Cloud Storage, it would be very suspicious if this huge amount money disappeared."
I plan to buy a safe to keep all the money I got from my business.
After we arrived at the shop, we spent time as usual. After closing the shop, I gave energy drinks to Depa and Fina. They were both surprised after feeling the effects of energy drinks, like Selvi did when she drank them for the first time.
When they all left, I bought a safe from the internet. I searched for a long time because everything that appeared on the search was a safe with an electronic key.
After nearly an hour of searching, I found a classic safe for 800 $ and bought it. I put all the money I got today into it.
--------------------------------------
One week has passed since the auction I did at the merchants' guild and I prepared to buy all orders today. Three days after the auction, I continued to consume adderall and did not feel any side effects, and 3 days later I stopped consuming adderall to see the side effects from stop consuming adderall, but I did not feel any side effects. I have proven one drug has no side effects and I will find information on other drugs.
To fulfill all orders from the previous auction, I had to spend $ 24100 and I had to use 8 wagons to deliver all the orders. As usual I only need to sell 15 gold coins to meet all the costs of this purchase.
After paying for all the orders, I also set the delivery location at the merchant's union and Trading Firm's warehouse at one-hour intervals. I invited Selvi to go with me to complete all contracts with merchants.
For two hours Selvi and I moved from one place to another to deliver all orders. After all the orders were fulfilled, Selvi and I returned to the shop with more than 170 white gold coins.
"Selvi, is there still a friend of yours who wants to work with me again? With the same conditions as before. I plan to open around two more shops in this city. " I asked Selvi
"There are some who are still working, I will ask them later." Selvi answered
I plan to open a cafe and liquor store. Besides selling wine in there, I also plan to sell various other types of liquor, such as whiskey, brandy, rum, vodka and others. As usual, all the shops I open will become luxury shops. I planned to open a shop with low price items but not now, maybe later.
-----------
The next day when Selvi and the others came to the shop they immediately spoke to me.
"Nine, can we receive our salary this month today?" Selvi asked
"No problem, what's wrong?" I ask when I look at their slightly anxious expressions.
"Many children in the orphanage have a high fever and cough, initially only a few of them, now almost all of them are sick." Selvi explained
"Are you sure you can take all of them to the doctor?" I asked again considering the current price of treatment that can only be paid by rich people.
Hearing my question they just bowed and more worried.
"Alright, today we close this shop. I have some medicine that I brought before, take me to the orphanage later. Wait here." Then i went upstairs and bought some medicine on the internet.
I bought 100 capsules of 250 mg Amoxicillin (Antibiotic) and 100 Paracetamol (Fever medicine) pills from the internet. After that we went to the orphanage.
When I got there I saw many children who were treated by several older children and two adults. I see the physical condition of the children there seems like they don't get enough nutrition.
After asking about their condition, I suspect some of them have pneumonia. Like they feel pain in the chest that gets worse when they breathe deeply or cough, breathing fast and shallow, nausea and vomiting and fever, sweating and shivering.
'Luckily I bought antibiotics before, if these drugs have a strong effect like before, then they will recover quickly.'
I asked for other help to give Amoxicillin and Paracetamol to them.
In less than an hour, children who had been sick began to improve. Their fever starts to disappear quickly and those who have symptoms of pneumonia have no pain when they breathe and cough.
"They seem to lack nutrition so their immunity decreases, which is why they can get infected very quickly."
I secretly bought an immune booster and gave it to everyone here so that they would avoid other infections that might happen again.
"Thank you very much Mr. Nine for using this very valuable medicine for the children here." A middle age woman talk to me. It looks like she is the head of this orphanage.
"It doesn't matter Aunty, I'm quite close to Selvi and the others. I can't let them work with anxiety. " I answer with a smile.
Actually this is also a good time to try the effects of other drugs from the internet, luckily everything works fine without side effects.
"Aunty, I hope that everyone here does not tell to anyone that I have this medicine. Since I don't have it anymore, it will be very troublesome if they come to my shop to buy medicine. "
"Of course, I will let the others know." She answered
After that Selvi, Depa and Fina approached me along with 4 other people.
"Nine thank you very much, you can cut our wages for the cost of these medicines." Selvi
"There's no need, I gave it voluntarily. Besides, I don't want you all to work while worrying about something. " I answer Selvi
"Thank you very much Nine, again."
"Oh, the four of them are willing to work in your new store later." Selvi introduced them. 3 women and 1 man.
"Hello, nice to meet you. Selvi can you teach them how to record inventory to help you work when two new stores open later. "
I asked Selvi to train them while I looking for the shop I want to buy.
