Chapter 49: Insufficient Supply
"Why?" Steward Sun asked, he knew that Li Mumu must have a reason.
"Because we can't eat it!" Li Mumu analyzed, "Although only we can make this pill now, after a while, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not get the ingredients from our pill, and even if they can't make exactly the same pill at that time, they can make the same." β
"But the effect of the medicine is definitely not as good as ours."
"That's the reason", Li Mumu took over Steward Sun's words, "but as long as they sell cheaper than us and have a therapeutic effect, our business will definitely be affected." β
"Then you have to divide it and sell it?" Steward Sun still didn't understand
"It's not for nothing, but for them to be our agents......"
"What is an agent?" Steward Sun interrupted anxiously.
Li Mumu glanced at him, "The agent just sells our medicine to them at the lowest price, and then allows their store to sell it!" The price of each pill is also priced, and they can't be lower than the price we sell, but if it is higher than that price and can be sold, it's all up to you. To put it bluntly, it is to give them profits and let them earn the difference. β
Steward Sun understood this time.
"Rather than having the market mixed, we should control the source. You can rest assured! In this way, we can earn more. β
Of course, Steward Sun can figure out this account.
"Also, if you can, you can only allow two agents in a county, as for how to fight for this place, I believe I don't need to teach you."
Steward Sun's eyes lit up, and Li Mumu was always unexpectedly surprised.
Steward Sun was happily preparing to arrange these things, but Li Mumu stopped him.
"Wait, I'd better find two trusted medicine boys to help me." Li Mumu really can't do such a large amount by himself.
"What? Can you trust me again? Steward Sun said in a weird manner.
"I didn't want to hide it, but I really need money! Now if you want to make money, you have to rely on me! We're in the same boat, and there's nothing to hide. β
Li Mumu explained patiently, "But people must be safe!" If the recipe is leaked, we won't have any advantage! β
"I know that!" Steward Sun himself was not really angry, and now Li Mumu explained to him again, and he was no longer hypocritical.
Li Mumu is to see a doctor and make medicine every day! I don't care about anything else at all, anyway, Steward Sun will give her money every few days!
Li Mumu is now considered to be out of poverty and well-off!
Although Li Mumu's pill is a secret recipe to the outside world, the prescription she gave to the county magistrate before is not!
Because the situation in Shiqing County was well controlled, and the number of deaths was decreasing day by day, County Magistrate Liu copied several copies of this prescription and distributed it to several surrounding counties.
In less than half a month, with Shiqing County as the center, a large area of Mocheng has been effectively alleviated.
......
The war is tight, and people are worried about the return of the plague! I don't know when people consciously began to hoard drugs.
"Steward, there are no more herbs in our storehouse." The medicine boy at the bottom suddenly came to report.
"Got it! Let's go down! Steward Sun frowned, "Mu Mu girl, I'm afraid this pharmaceutical business will have to stop for a while." β
"Why? Or is it a problem with medicinal herbs? There is a shortage of medicinal materials from time to time, and Li Mumu has not been so busy recently, "Has no one come to deliver medicinal materials recently?" β
"As soon as the county magistrate's prescription is promoted, where there are still people who send medicine, they all know that those few flavors of medicine can cure diseases, who doesn't leave some life-saving." And the few flavors of medicine in the county magistrate's prescription are also what he needs.
Although it is very common, this special period is also picked by everyone.
"Don't we have people here who specialize in growing herbs? Can't you buy from them? Li Mumu was a little confused, do herbs still depend on the sky?
"It's as simple as you say, it's not like no one has tried to grow herbs before, but I don't know where the problem is, I can't always survive! At present, the herbs in the various medical halls are either picked by the villagers or bought from the imperial city. β
"Then go to the Imperial City and buy it! There is no lockdown now! β
"Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, you see that we have been treating the epidemic for more than 20 days, although the imperial court has sent people down, but look, where do you see the shadow?" Steward Sun felt that Li Mumu was still too naΓ―ve.
"It doesn't work, it doesn't work either! What a hassle! Li Mumu didn't expect that there would be problems with the supply, and he couldn't be irritable at the moment.
"In fact, there should be stock in the medical centers in the nearby counties, and they don't need to make pills, so the consumption should not be so large. But..."
Steward Sun hesitated, "But if you buy from them, they should take the opportunity to kill us!" If that's the case, the cost of the pill will be high! β
"Then go with our agent and buy it!" Li Mumu thought for a while, "Use herbs to offset the payment of pills, if they wait for the opportunity to increase the price, we will also rise!" Whoever can provide us with affordable medicinal materials will give him the right to sell. β
"That's right! How I didn't think of it! Steward Sun slapped his thigh, but he also held their lifeblood.
Li Mumu felt that the number of herbs in this way could not last in winter.
Although the epidemic has been controlled, people are still infected every day, and the rate of transmission of the disease can only be reduced when the weather gradually cools down.
The growth cycle of these herbs is very short, so you can try it yourself, and if the planting is successful, you don't have to worry about the herbs in winter.
"Mu Mu? Mu Mu? Steward Sun said for a long time and found that Li Mumu was actually in a daze, "What do you want?" So fascinating! β
"How... What's wrong? Li Mumu came back to his senses, "What did you just say?" β
"I said I'll arrange it, the herbal matter should be in place in the next two days, you can rest for two days first, anyway, there are no patients in the hospital now." Steward Sun repeated what he had just said.
Li Mumu responded, "Oh, okay." β
"You've been working too hard lately, let's go home and get some rest!" Steward Sun is too tired to be Li Mumu, after all, he is only a teenager.
......
Li Mumu really wanted to go back and accompany her mother.
Although the Chengxi Medical Center was later admitted to the patient Liu County Magistrate did not close the museum, Li Mumu could actually go home every day, but after she was busy every day, she found that it was very late, so she didn't plan to go back to disturb them, and carefully calculated that she hadn't gone home for more than ten days.
It's still early today, so Li Mumu simply cleaned up and went back......
