Chapter 53: Child Labor Pharmacy

Sun Yi was not used to "resting at sunset" like the people of the Ming Dynasty, and he had to find something to do for himself at night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But Sun Yi has gradually begun to adapt to "working at sunrise" like the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Yi found that the period from early to dinner every day was actually very efficient.

As soon as Sun got up today, he went to visit the orphans.

Gathering orphans was Ha Laocai's idea. Boiling nitrate, boiling salt, and boiling salsuin are low labor intensity and high repetition, and half-grown children can fully undertake them, so that adults can be freed up to do other work.

Sun Yi agreed with both hands.

He secretly pinned great hopes on this group of orphans, and Sun Yi planned to teach these children literacy and arithmetic in his spare time, and instill some knowledge from later generations, maybe these children would become the pillars of Langshan River in the future.

In the open space not far from the camp in the woods, there are seven or eight iron pots borrowed from the people's homes, and there is a fire under the iron pot, and in the steaming water vapor, Ha Laocai and Huatou Cabinet are leading eight or nine children to be busy, and the figures appear and disappear in the water vapor.

Ha Laocai was temporarily responsible for taking care of the lives of this group of children and organizing production, and Huatou Cabinet came early in the morning to urge the production of "Saulicyl Dan".

The flower head cabinet followed Ha Laocai's buttocks, complaining vigorously,

"Lao Ha, you can boil willow bark in a pot with more wind, okay? Forehead gave a big word to Lord Lidel, Zang and the two still know so many mothers, you have to help! ”

Of these seven or eight pots, only two are boiling willow, two are boiling salt, and the rest are all boiling salt.

Ha Laocai's head shook like a rattle, "No, no, no." There are already two pots, and the pills can't be eaten as a meal. These pots have to be returned to the township party for the rice before rushing, boiling an extra pound of Jia fat, and taking advantage of the fact that the crops are being jointed, and sprinkling them in the field after autumn, they will beat an extra 15 catties of grain. Which one is light and which one is heavy, you still can't understand it at such an age? ”

The flower head cabinet was deflated, and his mouth was still muttering, "Then can you make Liu Su's Yang color into the original good-looking, red, and that kind of Yang color." ”

Ha Laocai stopped, turned around and said bluntly to the flower head cabinet Zhengse: "Slippery ghost! It's medicine! The color of willow is lighter because the dirt has been refined, and the medicinal properties are better. ”

Huatou Cabinet was a little anxious, "Ha Laocai, your tongue is good, you treat this as medicine, and tell you that your performance is a wild medicine!" Whether your wild medicine can be sold or not, only one mouth is relied on, and the appearance is not good, why do you call the wild medicine tongue for you! ”

Ha Laocai didn't do it anymore, "This is not a wild medicine!" This is a serious 800 medicine! You see, salicylated pill is a medicine for people! Potash is the medicine for crops! Nitrate is the medicine for the three-eyed gun! I'm a pharmacy here! What is a pharmacy, do you know it? -- Human life is at stake, although the taste is expensive, we dare not reduce material resources, and although the production is complicated, we dare not save labor! Did you know or not? ”

Sun Yi took over Ha Laocai's words, "Well said! Don't look at these few pots, but this is a pharmaceutical factory! ”

Ha Laocai and Huatou Cabinet hurriedly gave Sun Yi who emerged from the water vapor, and the two of them said in unison: "Have you eaten?" ”

Sun Yi was stunned, and realized that they were actually just greeting, so he answered not what he asked: "The two of you are early." ”

Ha Laocai and Hua Tou Cabinet also naturally forgot about their questioning.

Sun Yi said to Ha Laocai and Huatou Cabinet: "But what Huatou Cabinet said is also reasonable, we are afraid of deep alleys when we talk about good wine." No matter how good things are, no one will know about them. In my opinion, let's not sell the first batch of salicylated pills, and give them away for nothing, just as advertising, uh...... No, I mean it's just a loss, what do you think? ”

Huatou Cabinet immediately smiled, "This is good, this is good!" Who can not want the things given for nothing, as long as he has eaten the first time, the second forehead can make him happily buy Yingzi. ”

Ha Laocai calculated in his heart, if the water Yangdan of the Wolf Mountain River does not spread the capital, it is said that he will not lose money, but will only make money. However, the problem of Langshan River is that the raw materials of the water-bearing stone are not stored much, if the master is given away in vain, sending someone to pick up the water-bearing stone is actually the capital.

Ha Laocai said to the flower head cabinet: "That's the case, it's okay to make money for free, but the caravan can't go for nothing." You'll have to make a trip to the salt lake and get some more watery stones, gypsum stones, and salt. ”

Huatou Cabinet rolled his eyes and said, "No problem!" When my caravan went, I gave them a good tongue, and if they still wanted it, they would wait for the water stone and salt to come back in exchange, and those nomads themselves would go to the salt lake to dig for them, so as to save them from taking a detour to dig all the way with strange sinks. ”

Sun Yi secretly praised, one of these two people is better than the other.

Ha Laocai knew that the main purpose of Lidel's visit was to see the children, so he introduced it to Sun Yi.

There were nine children in this group, all of whom were orphans wandering in the Ironwood camp, and there was no one to take care of them.

Last night, Wang Erniu had already set up a few shacks for the children, and they also made a special meal of rice soup. I don't dare to say that I have eaten too much at once, for fear of breaking the children's stomachs.

Because whether it was nitrate, willow, or Jia Fei, the camp was waiting for it, so the children began to work as soon as it was dawn.

Ha Laocai introduced on the side, Sun Yi observed these busy children, and came to the conclusion at a glance: the children have been malnourished for a long time.

Seven of the nine children are in their teens, and the other two are seven, eight or nine years old.

This would be 100% illegal child labor in the Hereafter.

Ha Laocai pointed to the two children who were boiling Liu Su and introduced to Sun Yi, "These two are too young, but if they have to follow, I will arrange some light work for them." ”

Sun Yi approached the youngest-looking one and asked, "How old are you?" ”

This child is skinny and skinny, with a big head and big eyes all over his body.

The child timidly replied, "Eight years old." ”

The child immediately continued, "I can work, I don't have much to eat." ”

Sun Yi asked,

"What's your name?"

"My name is Pomegranate."

"What about your parents?"

The child shook his head.

I don't know if the child's parents died, or if the child didn't know at all.

Ha Laocai said: "No one knows when this kid will start, so he will be mixed in the camp." If he hadn't said it today, no one would have known that his name was Pomegranate. ”

Pomegranate's tears fell, "Lord Lidel, please keep me, I promise not to eat much." ”

Sun Yi's heart seemed to be pricked by a needle and shrunk into a ball,

"Stay, stay."

In later generations, child labor was exploitation, and in the five years of Chongzhen, child labor in the Tiemu camp was relief.

Sun Yi looked at the other children, who were so dirty that they couldn't see their skin color, and their eyes flashed and looked at Sun Yi in the moisture.

Sun Yi turned to Ha Lao Cai and said, "Mr. Ha, it's hard for you to be this home." After dinner, let's arrange for the children to take a bath in the pond. In the future, try to give the children a better meal, a better rest, if you have time, you teach the children arithmetic first, and when I am free, I will teach them literacy. ”

Ha Laocai sighed and agreed.
