Chapter 6 Making Money

"What's the matter, isn't the income and expenditure about the same, how can there be no money?"

Zheng Xiong was thrilled to listen to Wu Wei's words, I just want to fish quietly and don't do anything.

"Well, it's a bit too much during this time, the price is fair, and it's more expensive than the general pharmacy purchase, after all, it's not a money-making institution. Many of the commonly used medicinal materials that they heard the news went to dig up and sold to us. There are also some cherished medicinal herbs that have also been acquired. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Xiong also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then stop the purchase, and wait until this batch of medicinal materials is sold out."

"Yes, sir. However, the supply of medicinal materials in the crude medicine warehouse is getting smaller and smaller, and this is not a solution. The subordinates inquired, and Huimin pharmacies in various places have been prepared, and they all need the support of crude drug depots. Huimin Pharmacy under Ying Tianfu Tai Hospital has also been prepared, and I am afraid that it will be difficult in the future."

Zheng Xiong also listened to the big head, but the problem in various places is not big, and there are local mountain people to supply. Now that the green and yellow are not connected, it is good to get through this time. It's too difficult to get the son of the hospital. I am a subordinate of Ying Tianfu, not too a hospital. In the end, it still depends on the payment of the Tianfu locality. But we have to wait for the next year, and now these few months are sad.

"Do you have any good advice?"

Wu Wei was stunned when he said this, what else do I have to suggest, I want to make money and use it for this mess. Of course, that can't be said. After a moment's consideration, he said

"This way of making money, my subordinates are really not proficient, but there is a way to make money, and it is inseparable from open source, throttling, and robbing business. It's better to have an exclusive secret recipe to do business better. Our conditions are limited, but it is possible to throttle, and our level is not enough if we open source."

Zheng Xiong thought about it for a while, and this is also the truth, with the memory of later generations, open source is not a problem, you have to think about it.

"Then let's do it, send some cases over, I'll see if there's a way first"

Hearing this, Wu Wei walked out, and after a while, he brought a large stack of books and placed them on the table next to Zheng Xiong's recliner.

Zheng Xiong lay on the recliner and looked through it slowly. The level of traditional Chinese medicine has always been a mystery, sometimes everything can be cured, and some diseases are very weak, such as traumatic infection. In ancient times, the fatality rate remained high, and it basically depended on personal physical fitness.

In modern times, it is simple, and if you do a good job of disinfection, there will basically not be much danger to complications caused by other bacterial infections, such as colds and fevers. Traditional Chinese medicine has experience, and the most important thing is to disinfect and not let the wound worsen.

There are many ways to disinfect, none of which are realistic under the current conditions, but there is one that can be achieved.

Travelers know, yes, it's alcohol disinfection. And it's not difficult, you can use it when you buy some liquor and distill it.

The first step is to distill the alcohol first, and with an idea, Zheng Xiong continued to look at it, but the rest was half-understood and could only be skipped.

In the afternoon, the cases were turned over. There is a way of thinking, modern medicine is to treat headaches, foot pain, and to solve problems is to solve the problem part, and it is directly gag. However, even with alcohol disinfection, the risks are still significant.

However, it can be considered that if the acute disease is not treated in time, it will kill people, such as appendicitis.

Step by step, get the alcohol first.

It's not early, go home first.

The next day, Zheng Xiong called Zhao San and took out the money to ask Zhao San to buy wine. I specially instructed that you don't need to buy good wine, you can buy any wine, always money, and buy as much as you can.

He called Wang Er again and asked him to call his hair boy over, and then bring the guy who was eating, and also bring a batch of materials. On the way, I brought a big iron pot back and some iron sheets.

After the order, the two went out.

At noon, the two rushed back one after another, and Zhao San brought back fifty catties of wine. About ten cents of grain can make a pound of wine, and the price has doubled. Wang Er brought Zhang Yi and a bunch of tools.

Zheng Xiong found a random place in the backyard and made a small stove with a few people. and made stones and some mud. Paste it and forget it, and then put it on the pot. The iron sheet is enclosed and sealed, and a pipe is made above, and the steam circulates and then condenses out the high liquor.

The four of them worked all afternoon, and Zheng Xiong also asked them to come back tomorrow.

On the third day, the pot was officially boiled, coarse wine was poured in, and then the guy boiled slowly, and the melting point of the alcohol was about 75 degrees. I can't estimate this condition, so I can only boil slowly.

Slowly, the aroma of the wine became stronger and stronger, and the condensation pipe began to pour out the alcohol drop by drop. Busy from morning to evening, Zheng Xiong rarely worked overtime.

Fifty catties of liquor produced twenty catties of high-altitude wine, and the twenty-catty high-altitude liquor was distilled again, and finally it was seventeen or eighteen catties.

There is still some about a pound of liquor left in a distillation, mainly to make a comparison, and the best way to compare is to drink it.

During the day, many people came in to ask about the situation, but they were all sent away by Zheng Xiong. Although everyone's economic situation is not very good, there are still many people who love wine.

Wu Wei went to the day shift, but he didn't have this blessing, and the rest of the drinkers were called. The main thing is to compare, listen to the feedback, if the distillation effect is not large, it will not take much effort.

Two small glasses of wine and a sip were placed in front of each person, and they were not specially asked to drink.

The associate physician and the other doctors raised their wine glasses, drank them all, and coughed for a while. Accustomed to low-alcohol wine, a high-alcohol rush will inevitably cause discomfort. There are also those who are forbearing, savoring them, and then swallowing them, rushing straight to their stomachs like fire. A blush appeared on his face.

I breathed a long sigh of relief and praised it, good wine. Next glass of wine. The people have been taught a lesson, and they savor it.

Seeing that everyone had finished drinking, Zheng Xiong interrupted their intoxication. Asked

"How about these two wines, what are the differences"

Hearing Zheng Xiong speak, everyone reminisced, and Li Si was the first to speak.

"The first cup was strong, and the second cup was even stronger, like a fire. Savor it, the aftertaste is endless, my lord, can you allow the officials to buy some of this wine. Xia Guan really likes it very much."

After Li Si finished speaking, everyone nodded yes. After drinking this wine, other low-alcohol wines are like water. It's a bit boring, and they want to buy some.

After listening to this, Zheng Xiong's heart was settled.

"Don't think about this wine, it's healing, what do you want?"

After hearing this, everyone felt a little regretful, and they couldn't help it.

Zheng Xiong waved his hand and sent everyone away.

For the remaining few people, Zheng Xiong gave each person a reward of 300 wen and issued a gag order. even got a contract document and a sky-high liquidated damages. Giving a little more reward is always convincing. even pulled Zhang Yi into his team and promised a job. Although the household registration of artisan households is troublesome, the transfer within the system is just one sentence.

Zheng Xiong doesn't plan to sell alcohol either. This thing is really a waste of food, especially in this era of not having enough to eat, starvation still happens from time to time. It's nothing to use to cure diseases, it's a bit too wasteful just to satisfy your appetite.

But things don't always depend on personal will.

Zheng Xiong went home.

But the people who had drunk in the pharmacy were quite uncalm and very excited.

Especially for the old food who loves this mouthful, it is inevitable to brag when you meet a drinking friend.

However, in a few days, the circle of drinking friends knew that Huimin Pharmacy had a kind of wine, which was wine, and the rest was water.

Zheng Xiong doesn't know all this for the time being. told my sister another episode of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, and went back to the house to sleep. It's been a long time since it's been so hard, and you can only make up for it by getting some sleep.

A new day, full of energy.
