Chapter 22: The Pill Business

From listening to Liu's words, Chunxin realized that the biggest obstacle that prevented them from getting rid of Yexian and this pile of pestering relatives was the problem of funds. If you rashly sell your house and shop and go elsewhere, can you live there, and what do you have to rely on to make a living there? It is necessary to open a pharmacy, but the land price in a big city is definitely not comparable to a small county like Ye County, and their savings are simply not enough.

If you don't commit adultery, is there any way to get money quickly? Listening to Sister Qing'er's unintentional words, Chunxin's heart lit up, pills, dear pills.

After staying in the pharmacy for so long, she learned that in ancient times, patients took medicine mostly and took it back to cook, and there were few ready-made pills and tablets, and even if there were pills, they were the kind of pills that were carefully prepared with good medicine and put them away for emergencies, while pills taken for ordinary diseases were rare.

The medicinal soup is laborious and bitter to cook, but the pills are different, and half a bowl of water can be sent down.

Until she entered the shop, Chunxin was still thinking about the pills, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was a lot to be done about it. It is not a precious pill that uses rare medicinal materials such as ginseng and shou wu to prolong life, but a pill for ordinary minor illnesses and illnesses, which is convenient to take and easy to carry, and I think many patients will be willing to try it. At that time, it will be easier to sell medicines in batches like modern pharmacies, and it will save trouble and time compared to catching medicines according to prescriptions, and some people will buy some and store them at home even if they don't need them for a while. Moreover, in ancient times, people were sometimes a little uncomfortable, and in order to save trouble, they would rarely seek medical advice, either endure it themselves, or grab a little medicine indiscriminately, and this kind of pill for common diseases should have a market.

“…… Spring, Koharu! Chun He's face sank, Xiao Chun what's wrong with him today, he was stunned from the moment he entered the door, he didn't respond after a few calls, what was he thinking in his head.

Chunxin finally came back to her senses, hurriedly ran to her grandfather in three or two steps, and asked with a dry smile: "Hehe, I didn't hear it just now...... Grandpa, what to do? ”

"What are you thinking about there by yourself, you don't look at the prescription, and you don't catch the medicine." Chun He Blowing His Beard looked at Chun Xin with a glare, and said with hatred that iron is not steel, "How many times have you told you, you have to concentrate on practicing medicine and medicine, what can you do in such a trance?" ”

Khan, thinking so much about it, forgot to work. Chunxin secretly glanced at his grandfather, and saw that his eyes were round, and he quickly lowered his head and honestly admitted his mistake: "I don't dare anymore, I will definitely concentrate on my heart and mind in the future." ”

"Well, go ahead, your Aunt Wang's prescription today has more medicine than the day before yesterday, don't make a mistake." Chunhe sat back in the chair, watching Chunxin grasp the medicine and pack the medicine with a familiar way, and couldn't help but sigh again, I didn't expect that there was only such a granddaughter left after all, Yu'er's child is not the material for studying medicine, and it doesn't matter if he got married early, if Xiaochun is not a girl, the matter of the shop will be much easier.

Sending Aunt Wang away with a smile, Chunxin saw that there was no one left and right, and touched his grandfather from the counter. She thought about it for a long time, although she had that idea, but even if the pill was made, she couldn't sell half a pill in her hand, and it had to be a respected old doctor like her grandfather to be convincing.

"What the hell are you doing?" Chunhe lowered his head and took a sip of tea, looked up and saw his granddaughter squirming in front of him, looking like he wanted to say but didn't dare to say it, he couldn't help but straighten his face and said, "Speak and act fairly, concise and straightforward, what do you look like?" Isn't it a joke for people to see? ”

I was scolded again...... Chunxin pursed her lips, she hadn't figured out how to explain to her grandfather, how to persuade her grandfather, and she was scolded by her grandfather like this, and she was even more bottomless.

"Say whatever you want, don't spit it out!"

Okay, you let me say, then I'll say, Chunxin gritted his teeth, and simply said his thoughts, and then stared nervously at Chunhe's face, wanting to see some clues from his expression.

Pills? Chunhe lowered his eyes and stared at the teacup in his hand and was silent, at first he heard Chunxin talk about it, he just thought it was a child's whimsical idea, but after listening slowly, he heard some doorways. At the beginning in Beijing, he did not make pills, but only some nobles could afford to use them, and after returning to Ye County, only those patients who had been taking drugs for a long time would save some pills. But according to Koharu's statement, all the medicines used for minor illnesses are made into pills and sold in large quantities by category......

"Grandpa, do you think, if it is a serious illness, then you must be careful to use the medicine after hearing and asking, but if it is just an ordinary cold, or diarrhea, the patient doesn't even need to ask for a consultation, and he will come directly to grab the medicine, in this case, wouldn't it be easier to give them the pills directly? The patients also have to go back to cooking medicine, don't they? Seeing that grandpa muttered for a long time but did not open his mouth to object, Chun Xin couldn't help but be happy in her heart, it seemed that there was a door, she hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "With grandpa's medical skills, naturally there will be no mistakes, and patients will definitely think that such a pill is more suitable after using it, and then I am afraid that if I am not sick, I will save some for emergencies." For example, if you have a bad stomach all the year round, you will buy more pills to treat your stomach and put them, and once you get sick, you will take one pill......"

It's a lot like a quick-fix pill. Chunxin said as he spoke, and his thoughts spread. No, no, that kind of medicine still can't be sold for the time being, if the patient doesn't have time to rescue him, and only blames the cause of death on the pills, they can't tell it all over their mouths, or it's safer to only give some cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine and the like.

Chunhe was noncommittal, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Chunxin fixedly for a while, but asked another question: "How did you think of making pills?" ”

"This ......" Chunxin scratched her head, did she answer nobly, "In order to bring good news to the majority of patients", or did she honestly answer "In order to sell more medicines and make more money"?

"I don't think you're thinking about it all day long, and it doesn't seem like you came up with this idea to help the patients." Chunhe looked at Chun Xin coldly, and said angrily, "Are you tired of grabbing medicine, so you came up with such a lazy idea?" ”

Well, grandpa, you're really going to help me find a reason. Chun Xin flattened her mouth, she really didn't think it was so annoying to grab and dispense medicine, but she thought it was quite interesting. Look at the grandfather who has been waiting for his reply, forget it, just explain it directly. Licking her lips, she said carefully: "Because...... I don't want to stay here. ”

I didn't expect Chunxin to say this, Chunhe couldn't help but be stunned, and the hand that was originally stretched out to the teacup turned to Chunxin, patted the top of her head and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Because our family has a shop, they are worried about our family property, so it is only three days and two ends of the trouble, if we move away far away, even if they make trouble again, it will be less far away, and it will be easy to deal with it." Chun Xin looked at Chunhe's expression as he spoke, and saw that he was not displeased, so he continued, "People say that there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, but those people are also relatives, and it is not good to make a mess after all, and if you can't kill them all, you can only prevent it, can't we provoke it and hide it?" ”
