Chapter 39 Invite Zhang Qingshan
"Ah, then I'll go out and have a look," Zhihua hurriedly went out.
Jin Cheng saw that the rabbit had ended up like this, and there was no point in pursuing it again, so he comforted the cooking aunt and said: "Forget it, the rabbits are our pets, don't kill them in the future."
Seeing that the young master was so reasonable, Aunt Housing said happily: "Okay, young master, don't worry, I will never kill rabbits in the future" After speaking, she went out to work.
Xiao Dengzi was greedy just now, and ate a lot, and said hurriedly: "Young master, what, I eat the most, will I really not lift it, I don't want to be a eunuch."
Jin Cheng was also speechless, he had eaten a lot, and muttered: "Hehe, I have to ask Senior Sister Yifang, she is an anesthesiologist."
Yifang laughed and said, "These medicines are really possible" After speaking, he looked at Jin Cheng directly.
Jin Cheng and Xiao Dengzi exclaimed at the same time: "Ah".
Jin Cheng was even more speechless, he was originally a joke, who knows, Yifang said this, and he was scared.
Yifang laughed even more and said, "Look at your face, I lied to you."
Jin Cheng said: Only people and women in the world are difficult to raise.
Zhihua came in and said, "There are many people lining up outside to say what five flavor pills to buy, I told them that our Jinjia pharmacy is diagonally opposite, Jinfu is not selling, they still don't believe it, they just refuse to go, they also said that they know we don't have it, and they want us to hurry up and make it, they all take the money to make a reservation, you tell me if there is something wrong with these people."
Jin Cheng thought to himself, this is called the lost east corner of the harvest of mulberry elm, just now the "patient" was eaten by himself, but the advertisement of the five flavor pills was out, and now it seems that the effect is still good, this celebrity has been so popular for thousands of years.
He instructed Zhihua: "Oh, the five flavor pills I said last time, they came to order, you go and tell them one or two silver for a bottle, during the promotion period, buy one get one free, and ship it in about a week."
"Ah, it's too expensive," Ichifang exclaimed.
Jin Cheng said with a smile: "This pill is a good product for nourishing yin and replenishing yang, if you want to sell it, you can sell it to rich people, think about it, no matter how many people have money, it will be sad, so we must first position ourselves in the high-end."
Zhihua took the order and left.
In the evening, Yifang was giving Jin Cheng a needle, and Zhihua came in with excitement and reported: "Young master, Sister Yifang, it's amazing."
"What's wrong, don't be surprised every time," Jin Cheng said.
Zhihua smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, that's the case, today the five flavor pills alone are scheduled to exceed six hundred bottles, and more than three hundred taels of cash have been collected."
Yifang was shocked: "There are so many in one day."
Jin Chengxin said with a heart: "Maybe there will be it tomorrow, especially as soon as this medicine is delivered to these dignitaries, as soon as they take it, the effect is good, then we will be developed."
Zhihua also said happily: "Well, young master, you are really amazing."
Yifang was originally a golden phoenix and was not very sensitive to money, but as a doctor, of course she knew that if this pill worked well, there would be a large medical market in the country, so she also nodded and agreed: "Indeed, when the time comes, everyone will spread the word of mouth, these pills will sell well, and if these pills are put in our Jin family pharmacy, it will be even worse."
On the second day, Jin Cheng stopped tossing rabbits.
After breakfast, many people came to the door to order Gomi Pills.
Jin Cheng didn't expect that these sons and brothers had such a great demand for health, and he said that these dignitaries and nobles had three wives and four concubines, and there were no good big tonic pills on the market.
Jin Cheng from morning to afternoon and everyone is rushing to make five flavor pills, buy materials to buy materials, pack bags, Jin Cheng also designed a manual, which is unique in the Tang Dynasty, the instructions are written clinical indications, usage, and there is an advertising slogan on it: This year's holiday will send health, and only five flavor pills will be accepted as gifts.
Everyone worked hard all day, everyone worked at full speed, and only then did they rush to produce eighty or ninety bottles of five-flavor pills, which made Jin Cheng tired, and it was difficult to make a fortune, and the cost of manpower and material resources in the handicraft workshop was too high.
was busy until late at night, everyone was too tired, Jin Cheng gave everyone a subsidy of 500 yuan of silver, and everyone cheered again.
Yifang also said happily: "This is the first money I have earned, although it is not much, but it is of great significance."
Jin Cheng said: "Well, you were originally the second generation of the rich and the second generation of officials, and I will give you dividends after the pill is sold."
Yifang said disdainfully: "Forget it."
Seeing her disdainful, he said solemnly: "Don't say it, forget it, this is making money above board, not selling dog skin plasters, don't worry, don't let you be so tired in the future, I'll invite more people to do it, you just need to be the shopkeeper, I'll give you a dividend of 10%, otherwise you will be a rich woman."
Yifang smiled and said, "I think you're afraid that I'm revealing your classic prescription, you're trying to gag me, isn't it Senior Brother" After speaking, he looked at him stunned.
Jin Cheng was seen as weak and explained: "I'm not that kind of person."
Yifang played with the taste: "You are not that kind of person, but you are such a person, you are giving, I will accept it in embarrassment."
Jin Cheng was speechless, I'm going to give you money on the pole.
He asked, "Do you calculate how much money we can make per bottle of medicine?"
Zhihua calculated it in the notebook for a long time, raised his head and said: "Young master, excluding the cost of medicine, bottle cost, honey cost, and labor, the cost of each bottle of pills is at most 100 yuan, is the price too high."
Jin Cheng said: "Gold is priceless, medicine is priceless, the price is just right, Senior Sister Yifang, look at it, snowflakes and silver, you don't want it yet."
Yifang was also shocked, she didn't expect the profit to be so big, and wondered: "It's so expensive, I'm afraid that the people will not buy it."
Jin Cheng explained: "Then it depends on how effective a pill is, if it is good, no matter how expensive it is, someone will buy it, and if the effect is not good, no matter how cheap the price is, no one will care" He is confident in his prescription.
Yifang said: "You are robbing, I think the price should be set cheaper, so that the people can afford it."
Jin Cheng said: "Don't worry, my next pill is called Pain Hundred Ointment, that medicine must be cheaper, so that the people can afford to use it, and benefit the people, I have been taking action, but this five-flavor pill is a tonic after all, a health care medicine, and it must be expensive."
Yifang said: "Ah, senior brother, you still have a reserved program."
"Of course, there are a lot of them, keep it secret now, oh, what, Zhihua, you put up a notice at the door tomorrow, each person is limited to five bottles, and the top 200 are limited to a day, we still have to pay attention to ensuring quality at the beginning, don't pay too much attention to quantity for the time being" Jin Cheng ordered.
On the second day, a notice was posted at the entrance of Jinfu: There were too many people to book Wuwei Pills, and in order to ensure its superior quality, Jinfu would book a maximum of 5 bottles per household, and limit 1,000 bottles per day.
In the past few days, as soon as the restrictions come out, everyone's enthusiasm is higher, hunger marketing can strengthen consumers' desire to buy, and it is easy to create the illusion that supply exceeds demand.
For this reason, everyone has been busy for several days, and after a few days, the number of bookings has slowly decreased.
Jin Cheng wanted to perform rabbit surgery again, but everyone really didn't have time, and this important work could only be put on hold temporarily.
In addition to instructing everyone to make pills, Jin Cheng went to Zhiweixuan to check the decoration progress when he had time, and Li Ziqi also came twice, and the rest of the time was basically the shopkeeper.
Half a month later, with the delivery of batches of Gomi Pills, the number of reservations began to slowly rise again, and many people who queued up and didn't buy them still complained.
In addition, Zhiweixuan in neighboring counties also opened, and this opening ceremony was not as fanfare as in Jingkou County. Jin Cheng and Yifang and others had a meal together on the third floor, which can be regarded as a good start, for which Jin Cheng also arranged an advertising method, specially rented four carriages around the neighboring county for a week, the carriage on three sides have done the publicity of the neighboring county Zhiweixuan, the content is also simple and specific: the neighboring county Zhiweixuan is open, welcome everyone to come to taste, so that more than a dozen employees have issued thousands of vouchers, each voucher can be worth two hundred dollars, free drinks, and other operating models are exactly the same as Jingkou County Zhiweixuan. This kind of strong advertising in the Tang Dynasty is the first time, attracting a lot of attention, although it did not make much money in the early stage, but everyone knows that there is also a high-end hotel in Jingkou County Zhiweixuan grade in neighboring counties.
Jin Cheng finished eating at Zhiweixuan and took Yifang back to Jinfu together.
The two passed by the corner of a street and found a middle-aged man in front of him walking with a little lameness, coaxing a little girl at this time.
Yifang stopped and said: "Senior brother, this is our senior sister's lover Zhang Qingshan, his foot was still split by our master, he used to be a suave son, now life is difficult, our senior sisters used to hate him for deceiving our senior sister, but now it seems that he is still good to his senior sister, but he has broken his leg and can't find a suitable job, he has read a lot of books before, relying on Xie couplets and keeping accounts for people to live, the family lives in a relatively tight situation, and from time to time the master has to help live."
Jin Cheng saw that this man was about the same height as himself, wearing coarse cloth clothes, but he was relatively clean, where did he not know about Zhang Qingshan, last time Naxia Zhenren also threatened himself to be like Zhang Qingshan, thinking that we were all bad people who seduced her apprentices, from this point of view, he looked at him differently.
The two stopped, Jin Cheng said in his heart that he had always wanted to visit him, but he forgot about it, the years are a pig-killing knife, at this time, where is his appearance and the freedom of a wandering scholar, his back is a little rickety, looking at his down-and-out appearance, he feels uncomfortable, a man can't rely on himself to let his wife and children live a decent life, but also rely on people who have hurt him to live, thinking about the disdainful attitude of Xia Zhenren towards himself that day, he also has to help him.
Jin Cheng hurriedly walked up, Yifang was puzzled, and followed.
Zhang Qingshan talked about a young brother with silk and satin and a beautiful woman coming over, and was stunned for a moment, obviously he shouldn't know this junior sister. The little girl was crying, but now that she saw two strangers, she stopped crying, and looked at Jin Cheng and Yifang with tears in her eyes.
Jin Cheng stepped forward and saluted: "Dare to ask Your Excellency if it is Brother Zhang Qingshan."
Zhang Qingshan was about to talk, a young woman came out of the house, now a little fat, originally in her twenties looked like a thirty-year-old person, judging from the appearance, she was not a big beauty when she was young, and it should be not bad.
Yifang saw that Senior Sister had suddenly aged so much, and her mouth was a little choked and said: "Senior Sister" Thinking that when she first entered Wuweiguan, Senior Sister Qingxuan was still a teenager and took good care of herself, so many years have passed, I really didn't expect Senior Sister to look so old.
Senior Sister Qingxuan looked at it, it turned out that it was the little junior sister who came, and said happily: "Ah, Senior Sister Yifang, come and come into the house" Seeing that it was her little junior sister who came, her happiness was overflowing.
Senior Sister Qingxuan saw a young brother next to her, and asked curiously: "Senior sister, this is your Langjun, it's really a talented woman."
Yifang was so ashamed that her face flushed and said, "No, he is my senior brother, Jin Cheng."
She said enthusiastically: "Oh, it turned out to be Jin Dagongzi, please come in, please come in, we are relatively simple here, Jin Dagongzi is not strange" After speaking, she went to Zhang Luo tea.
Jin Cheng also sat down unceremoniously when he entered the room, the room was relatively small, and there was a small kitchen, which was indeed simple.
It's a small room, but it's very clean.
Zhang Qingshan and his wife saw that the golden prince took the teacup and began to drink tea, there was no shelf, and the mood was also very happy, and several people began to chat.
Jin Cheng saw that they were a little restrained in their words, and he didn't want to stay too long, so he said to Zhang Qingshan: "Senior sister, we came today to ask for something, I have heard for a long time that Brother Zhang is proficient in pen and ink abacus, we have a dose of medicine in Jinfu, and the demand has been particularly large recently, this pill bottle needs to write a manual in a fixed format, and I haven't found a suitable candidate recently, I am very troubled, I saw Brother Zhang just now, I want to ask him to help me" and then handed him a manual.
Zhang Qingshan saw that he copied these instructions and precautions, which was very simple, and said without hesitation: "I am good at copying and writing, you say how much you need, I will copy it for you."
Jin Cheng saw that he was refreshed, and immediately said: "That's it, Brother Zhang, you can help me copy two or three thousand copies a month, and the cost is tentatively set at two taels of silver per month, what do you think."
Zhang Qingshan and his wife were shocked when they heard him say that he had not been given two taels of silver. It's only a few hundred dollars a month to save expenses, and now I suddenly have two taels of silver a month, so it's not surprising that I am not surprised.
Senior Sister Qingxuan immediately clapped her head and said: "What money do you want, you are Yifang's senior brother, and you are also my junior brother, don't want money, how much do you want, Qingshan will help you copy it, what money do you want."
Zhang Qingshan also echoed: "I won't tell you, I don't have anything to do anyway, I have a lot of free time, just spend some free time, your politeness makes me a little embarrassed, and I will see the outside world if I give so much money."
Jin Cheng didn't expect these two to be so sincere, and said seriously: "Senior sister and Brother Zhang, I am also half a businessman, in business, if you want Brother Zhang to help me, I am embarrassed to help me once, but this is also a long-term job, it is impossible to trouble you every time, in addition, Brother Zhang, I also want to trouble you to be the shopkeeper of the Jinfu in the neighboring county County, and I also help me manage the affairs of the big and small, so this salary is not high, I don't know if you have any intentions."
Yifang Bingxue was smart, she didn't know what he meant, and echoed: "Well, the Jin Mansion does lack a shopkeeper, Brother Zhang, don't shirk it."
Zhang Qingshan saw him say this, thinking that I can do more things in the future, all along, my feet are inconvenient, I can't do many things, and the taste of being helped to live is really uncomfortable, now I can use my labor to make money, why not, no matter how tired I am, I am willing, and immediately said: "Young Master Jin, then I will not shirk, it is better to be respectful than to obey my fate, I will be able to do a good job for you after taking this errand, but the salary is enough for one or two silver."
Jin Cheng was no longer verbose, and said conclusively: "Okay, one tael of silver in the first month is considered a probationary period, if it is done, two taels of silver from the second month, Brother Zhang, please come to work tomorrow."
The two said goodbye and went home.
Yifang looked at Jin Cheng emotionally and said, "Senior brother, thank you for taking care of my senior sister."
"Where did I take care of her, I asked his husband to do things for me, to put it bluntly, it is to exploit his labor force to create surplus value for me," Jin Cheng said.
Yifang said: "I can still understand your thoughts, you just want to help Brother Qingshan, do you think I can't see it, last time the master ridiculed you, you hold a grudge, don't you."
Jin Cheng smiled embarrassedly: "Do I have such a small family, of course, there are indeed factors in this regard, but, Zhang Qingshan I think he is still talented, after all, he is a scholar, but there is no platform, now give him a platform, he will be able to do a good job, rather than icing on the cake, it is better to send charcoal in the snow, he is talented, for my use, don't be too moved, and then insist on making a promise, then I will be so irritable."
Yifang said: "Don't be flamboyant, no matter what you say, I want to thank you, you don't know, in the past, Sister Yiren and I quietly gave money to Senior Sister, and she didn't want it anyway."
"Hehe, you are little children, you can understand the world of our adults," Jin Cheng said mischievously.
Yifang glared at him and said, "Get out, don't give you the sun to shine."
Jin Cheng said: "Okay, junior sister, I'm just joking, oh, this five-flavor pill formula, you can't write it in that prescription."
Yifang didn't answer positively, and teased: "You think I'm as stupid as you, oh, I'll go home tomorrow and return to Wuweiguan."
Jin Cheng said strangely: "It's so good here, why do you want to go back."
"I've been out for too long, and I'm afraid that my parents will be suspicious, so I have to go back to the capital for a day tomorrow, and then go to Wuweiguan for a meal the day after tomorrow, and come back in the afternoon the day after tomorrow," she said.
"No, in this way, your parents think that I am doing nothing, and the master thinks that I have returned to the capital, the best of both worlds, and it feels like I brought you badly, one day, your parents blame me, you have to testify for me" Jin Cheng smiled.
She won't leave now, not for anything else, through this period of contact, I found that this guy in front of me is like a bonanza, and there are some inexhaustible feelings, especially this medical knowledge can't be said to be a surprise, it's just a fright, the medical feeling in his head is similar to that of himself and even his father, Uncle Imperial Doctor Jin is not the same, it is completely different, some prescriptions are the same, especially the rabbit was stabbed, it was really alive, to say that there is only one rabbit, maybe it is the luck component, it turns out that both rabbits survived, this kind of operation is simply a groundbreaking medical achievement.
She simply said: "I'll treat you" Although she said this, she found that after the senior brother recovered this time, it was like a different person, and she sometimes thought, don't forget it, just be the current Jin Cheng, and it's good to be the current senior brother, after piercing the needle for so long, I feel that he has not changed much, it seems that his needle piercing skills are not good, but sometimes he thinks evilly that he is not easy to calculate.
Jin Cheng said: "That's too, I feel good lately, give me fewer needles next time" Xin said, Lao Tzu is not sick, just to keep you, I have suffered a lot of needles every night.
The two guys have their own agendas.
Yifang said happily: "Okay, you don't have to pierce so often in the future."
Jin Cheng thought she was going to give up on herself, and said hurriedly: "Don't mind, it's okay to prick less, or insist on piercing every day" Heartbeat, I don't see you every night, how can I fall asleep, and now I feel like I have pricked the needle.
Yifang sneered: "Didn't you cry out in pain, do you have masochistic tendencies now?"
Jin Cheng said embarrassedly: "That's not it, I mean you still have to insist on curing the disease, you go back and see your sister Yiren."
"Don't worry, I'll go and see it, if you don't talk about it, I'll go too" Yifang said irritably, now as long as he listens to him Yiren, he will be a little resistant from the bottom of his heart, and he is a little uncontrollable, he used to have a very good relationship with his cousin, but now I don't know what's wrong.
Jin Cheng said: "I don't mean anything else, you help me see her movements" originally wanted her to find out if she had a new partner, but she really couldn't say it.
Yifang said with a cold face: "Are you afraid that she will break the marriage contract with you, and you are afraid that she will have a family, okay, I'll go back and help you inquire about it, and tell me what is good for me."
Jin Cheng was speechless and said, "This is also a benefit."
"Of course, information isn't valuable, so I won't help you with it," she pouted.
Jin Cheng immediately said: "Tell me, what benefits do you want, or I will give you some silver, you will have to spend money when you go."
Yifang said disdainfully: "You think I am a person who loves money, so let's do it, next time you have to tell me about that pain 100 ointment prescription, do you say it's good."
Jin Cheng said without hesitation: "Okay, no problem, I promise you."
Yifang thought that he would refuse, but he didn't expect him to be good, so he accepted it without considering the exam, didn't want to pay attention to him, and stopped talking on the road behind.
Jin Cheng was puzzled, and when he saw her walking in front in a hurry, he couldn't speak again.
When he was about to arrive at the Jin Mansion, Yifang suddenly stopped, stared at Jin Cheng and said, "Senior brother, there is something I am more curious about."
Jin Cheng didn't want her to be dizzy at this startle, and said, "Tell me something."
