Wen put down the account book in his hand and thought for a while: "Do you deserve it?" Do you know the secret ingredient? But even if you know the secret recipe, you don't need to bother with it, right? If you really want to, send someone to deliver a letter to the caravan's people, and the next time the caravan will deliver it from the south, and bring it by the way. I still have forty or fifty bottles in stock at home, so I can barely survive until then. ”

Xie Mulin said with a smile: "Under normal circumstances, of course, this is the case, but as soon as the eldest sister is about to get married, I think that when she leaves the cabinet, she can still take a batch of ointment prescriptions with her, even if she takes office with the brother-in-law of the Huang family, and the journey is tiring, she can also take some ointment to moisten her throat, don't get sick easily, and leave a few bottles for Mrs. Huang; Second, our family consumes one or two hundred bottles every year, which sounds like a lot, but in fact, compared to the ointment sold by the Du family medical hall every year, it is nothing at all, and his family also looks at the in-laws, and only charges our family's cost, and does not make any money at all.

"This ointment recipe was developed by Mr. Du for my father and mother to adapt to climate change in the north, but it may not come in handy in Huyin's hometown. The Du Family Medical Center is busy enough to treat patients who come to the door on weekdays, not to mention making other plasters that are more useful. Our family doesn't live in our hometown now, so why bother the Du family to spend time and energy on these two hundred bottles of ointment? Anyway, I know the formula, as long as our family can receive all the materials in Beiping, and boil it ourselves, it doesn't take much effort, and it can be more convenient, when you want to use it, just boil it now, you don't have to prepare hundreds of bottles in advance, and you have to worry about whether it will be broken. ”

Xie Yinghui said softly on the side: "This ointment is the most useful in spring and autumn every year. Two months ago, I heard that Mrs. Huang had a cough, so I sent her two bottles, and she got better quickly, and asked me which pharmacy I bought them from. I heard that our family brought it from our hometown in the south, so I didn't say anything. If our family can make it ourselves, it will be cheaper. ”

Xie Yingrong was on the side: "Actually, the eldest sister wants to go to Beijing with her husband after she gets married, and I am the same, I can actually bring a batch of ointments to marry, no...... It's the same with the recipe for me, I just make it myself. "She knows the effect of this ointment, and if she uses it to please the old lady of the Pingchang Hou Mansion in the future, she will definitely get a lot of benefits?

Xie Mulin smiled at Xie Yingrong: "What is the third sister worried about?" From the capital back to Huyin's hometown, only a few days away? There are also people in the clan in Beijing, you bring a few bottles with you, and when you finish eating, send someone back to Huyin to buy them. You and your third brother-in-law are two younger, and the personnel are simple, so there is no need to boil it up by yourself. The family is different, my father and mother still take this ointment every year, and the amount is large, so I think I want to make it myself. ”

Xie Yingrong opened her mouth and wanted to say that Wanjia is not simple, but Xie Yinghui opened her mouth one step ahead of her: "What do you want the formula for?" The recipe of the Du family, only because the second sister made the effort to give the medical books collected in previous years to the old man Du for reference, so the Du family shared the secret recipe with the second sister. You don't have any strength at all, so you want to take the recipe, don't you still want to make money with it? Or are you going to use it to please your future parents-in-law?! I'm the eldest daughter, and I didn't open this mouth, thinking that I either asked the family to have a ready-made ointment, or sent someone to Huyin's hometown to buy it, but you are thick-skinned, and you hit the idea on the formula with one mouth?! ”

Xie Yingrong's face suddenly turned red. Xie Mulin hurriedly said: "I promised the old man of the Du family that I would not pass on the anointing prescription." He no longer paid attention to the lawsuit between her and Xie Yinghui, and continued to say to the Wen family, "Daddy probably also mentioned to my mother the news that I got from the Yanwang Mansion, if our family can come up with a freshly boiled ointment, it may not be impossible to offer it." This thing is much milder than medicine, even if you don't get sick, you can soak it in water and drink it, and your throat will be more comfortable. ”

Wen did hear Xie Pu say that the Queen Mother was about to arrive in Beiping City, and the reason why the trip was so hasty was because the Queen Mother was ill and wanted to rush to her youngest son as soon as possible to recuperate. She also sighed that the royal family took the parent-child for the incense of the Yan Wangfu, but she was so tired that the queen mother and the child were separated, and they could not be commensurate with the mother and son when they met, so they could only be a monarch and minister, and the queen mother should feel how uncomfortable she should be as a mother? It's no wonder that she is so anxious to see King Yan.

Now hearing Xie Mulin's words, Wen thought that his daughter wanted to take the opportunity to offer the anointing prescription, if she could be praised by the Queen Mother, the Xie family would be more decent, and Xie Xianzhi's relationship with the girl of the Ma family would definitely be more certain......

Wen thought that he had figured out his daughter's idea, so he smiled and said, "You kid, you have a lot of thoughts, but it's not a bad thing." Our family's ointment recipe is also well-known in Beiping City, and we have never eaten bad people, and those who have eaten it are said to be good. In the past, when Mrs. Zhou was still there, Mrs. Zhou would send someone to ask me for a few bottles every time the season changed. Even when the old lady was there, she also ate the ointment of our family's filial piety. ”

In the matter of boiling the ointment, Wen nodded, and things were much easier. Xie Mulin volunteered to take the messenger, and asked Wen to ask a few experienced people to help collect medicinal materials. You don't have to find someone else to do the work. After Mrs. Zhang returned from the Forbidden City, she took a three-day vacation and has been idle. Her man has few old and sick crimes in the summer, and his actions are quite convenient, and the couple are very careful and patient in their daily work, so they can be transferred to help Xie Mulin.

Wen Shi allocated a few people to his daughter according to his words, but he still couldn't help laughing and said: "It's not to do business, you can make a lot of it if you collect a few catties of medicinal materials and come back and slowly boil them." Why overstock too much material? If you can't finish eating it, beware of it being spoiled again. The family may not have the ability of the Du Family Medical Center, and they can still seal the jar of paste tightly, and they can save it for a year and a half. Make a batch first, and then boil it after eating. ”

Xie Mulin said with a smile: "After all, it is the first time to boil, so prepare more materials to avoid mistakes." Besides, it's impossible for me to buy ingredients according to the formula, so wouldn't someone guess the formula? Since my mother said that this ointment recipe is also well-known in Beiping City, it is difficult to guarantee that some people will be greedy and want to take this recipe to make ointment and sell it. We can't ruin the Du family's business, so we simply buy more irrelevant medicinal materials and mix them in, so as not to let people guess the real formula. ”

Xie Yinghui asked with a smile: "If the medicinal materials I bought can't be used, won't it be in vain?" ”

Xie Mulin said: "What are you afraid of? It's a big deal to let the caravan people take it back to the south and sell it afterwards, anyway, you can't ask people to guess the recipe. ”

Everyone has no opinions anymore, and Wen still thinks that it won't cost a lot of money to buy a few more medicines. It's just that if she really made the idea of offering anointing to the queen mother, this container of anointing could not be ignored, she specially allocated two hundred taels of silver to her daughter as funds, and asked her daughter to ask for it when she was not enough.

Xie Mulin accepted his mother's kindness with a smile, and was already thinking in his heart about how many other medicinal materials he wanted to add to the list of medicinal materials, which would confuse the public.
