This is also the reason why Chu Yi proposed to go to the town to find out first, mosquito repellent kits are not difficult to make, those who know some medicinal materials may be able to think of it, as long as someone wants to get it, someone will definitely sell it.

Shen Luzhu listened to his brother's words and fell into deep thought.

Shen Songjie saw that his sister didn't speak, so he hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, Luzhu, you can help me think of something else, and I'm not in a hurry." ”

"Second brother, you and your cousin have seen those mosquito repellent bags, what do they look like?"

Shen Songjie slightly recalled: "Look, it's almost the same as what A-Niang did, they are all fist-sized purses, but there are some differences in color." ”

"That's right." Shen Zeqi also nodded in agreement.

"In fact, I also thought about it last night, mosquito repellent kits are not the best choice, now that someone is selling them, we might as well think of a way, they are also mosquito repellent, you can change the look."

"What kind of thing is the best?"

The best, of course, is the toilet water and mosquito repellent, and what mosquito repellent bracelets, mosquito stickers, and grass paste and the like, not to mention convenient, small size and good-looking!

"Second brother, can the medicinal materials in our mosquito repellent bag be made into potions or ointments?"

Shen Songjie scratched his hair: "I really don't know this, do you know Zeqi?" ”

"I don't know, I have to ask the lobby brother and grandpa about this! Cousin has an idea? ”

"It's a little, but I haven't thought too much about it, cousin, you go back with the second brother, first ask the eldest brother if he can do it, will it affect the effect after doing it, and let me think about the rest."

"Cheng, it's been a morning, I'll go back with my cousin first, and come back in a few days!"

Seeing this, Chu Yi hurriedly stopped someone: "It's not too late for the second brother and cousin to leave after lunch." ”

"That's right, Chu Yi didn't say that I didn't pay attention, it's noon soon, I'll leave after dinner!" Shen Luzhu also persuaded him.

Shen Songjie glanced at his cousin Shen Zeqi and waved his hand: "No, the two of us came out in the morning, and the family probably remembered it, so let's go back first, and come back to you another day to eat!" ”

I didn't have any ideas before, but now I have a general direction, and in the next few days, Shen Luzhu will focus on the matter of mosquito repellent.

If you can make a potion like mosquito repellent, how can you use it without a small watering can? Without the antiseptic technology of the previous life, how can it be stored for a long time? Or how can you make something that can be worn with you like a mosquito repellent bracelet or a mosquito repellent patch?

These are all questions to be thought about and solved!

Less than ten years later, the second brother Shen Songjie came to the shop and brought two small things to Shen Luzhu.

"What I said last time, Grandpa flipped through some books and found a few new recipes, which the eldest brother helped to do in his spare time. This is a medicinal juice made from fresh herbs, and this is a pill made from dried herbs! The ointment is easy to make, but Grandpa said that making the ointment will affect the effect, so he made pills, sister, take a look! Shen Songjie said as he put two small medicine jars on the counter!

One is filled with dark green medicinal juice, and the other is filled with small pills with a smooth color and some blackening, all with a unique fragrance of plants, which smells good!

Shen Luzhu looked at the two things in front of him and determined the thoughts in his heart.

"Second brother, wait a minute. I closed the shop with Chu Yi and went to the house with you! ”

"It's okay, there's no hurry!"

The young couple closed the shop in advance this afternoon, and went to Shen's house with Shen Songjie, planning to study and study with their brothers.

"Big brother, how long can this potion be stored?"

Shen Chuanbai explained: "This kind of weather is at most three days, and if it is hotter, it will be even more difficult to say." ”

"Then can this be made into medicinal wine or medicinal oil, like grandpa's bone-setting medicinal wine, can it be left for a longer time?"

Shen Chuanbai nodded: "It's not difficult, and it can indeed be kept for a while longer!" ”

"Will the wine cover up the original medicinal taste?"

"There will be a little bit of it, but if you control the proportion well, there is no big problem, just like the medicinal wine for the treatment of bruises, after using it for a while, you won't smell any wine!"

Shen Luzhu understood, this is probably like the truth of adding alcohol to some skin care products, perfumes, and toilet water, and if it is applied to the body, the body temperature is high, the alcohol will volatilize first, and the rest is only the smell of medicine!

After getting the eldest brother's affirmative reply, Shen Luzhu smiled: "Then I know how to do this business!" ”

"How?"

"I think we can use medicinal juices, medicinal oils, medicinal wines, and pills! Medicinal wine and medicated oil can be sold directly in a small porcelain bottle, or a small medicine jar, and one does not need to be too much, so that with your fingers, or a small wooden stick or the like, you can apply it directly to the body, wrists, ankles, back of the neck, anywhere, with the smell on the body, it will naturally repel mosquitoes! ”

After that, Shen Luzhu dipped his fingers in some medicinal juice, applied it to his wrist, and showed it to everyone: "Just like this, if you don't like the smell of wine, or if you are a child, you can use medicinal oil, if you are afraid that the medicinal oil will stain your clothes, you can use medicinal wine, the two of them are a complementary choice!" ”

Shen Songjie learned from his sister's appearance, and also wiped it on his wrist, and smelled it after it was dry: "It's a good way, what about the medicinal juice and pills?" ”

"Medicinal juice, I originally wanted to soak in oiled paper or something, the paper is convenient and not in the way to carry with me, but the paper, I'm afraid it will be tasteless after a while, and I love it.

It's still the way Chu Yi thought, we can dry the wood and make it into a palm-sized, half-finger-thick piece of wood. Then soak it in the medicinal juice, soak it thoroughly and then dry it, or repeat it several times, so that the wood chips will have a medicinal fragrance, tie the red rope and tassels, and hang it on the body!

But this is just my idea for the time being, and I have to try to do it before I know if it will work.

The pills are simpler, made smaller and drier, and sold in small jars, which can be hidden in the collar, cuffs, or waist, and the same effect can be achieved! ”

After Shen Luzhu finished speaking, he pursed his lips and looked at his brothers with wide eyes. Chu Yi saw that she was a little nervous, quietly held his wife's hand, waited for her to turn her head to look at herself, and said to her silently, "Awesome." ”

Shen Chuanbai patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "Our Luzhu is so smart, but it's a pity that he is not a son, otherwise he may come back with a champion for our old Shen family!" ”

Shen Luzhu pretended to be angry and looked at his brother: "What did the eldest brother say, what's wrong with the girl?" ”

"It's the eldest brother who said the wrong thing, our family has a lot of Luzhu, don't be angry."

Shen Luzhu smiled at her eldest brother: "Second brother, cousin, what do you think, is it feasible?" ”

"I think it's okay, none of these are much better than the mosquito repellent kits sold in the town!"

Shen Zeqi also nodded: "It's good, and it's our own craftsmanship, just go up the mountain to pick medicinal materials or something, at most there are some bottles and cans of cost!" ”

"It's just sister, you said a few at once, if we all take them to the town to sell together, isn't it too much?"

Shen Luzhu looked at his second brother: "You can only do one or two of them first, and the rest will wait for the business to be stable, and then launch new ones one after another." By the way, I just thought of another one, the eldest brother can be paired with some anti-itching and swelling ointment, and sell it together, maybe it can also be. ”

Everyone discussed in the Shen family for a long time, and the Shen brothers finally decided to make mosquito repellent wine and medicinal oil first, these two recipes are the same, the previous process can be prepared together, but there are some discrepancies in the end, which is actually equivalent to two branches of a product.

After setting these, the next step is the preliminary preparations, first to go up the mountain to collect a large number of medicinal materials, but also to buy a batch of small porcelain bottles for backup, and when making medicinal oil and medicinal wine, you can also try to do it by the way, the mosquito repellent wood chip that Shen Luzhu said, in short, the Shen family was busy all of a sudden.

finally helped the second brother think of an idea, Shen Luzhu's paper ingots also accumulated a certain amount, and finally at the end of May, they were placed on the counter of the paper money shop!

The hardness and support of the finished paper ingots are good, Shen Luzhu is at both ends of the counter, one gold and one silver, and two ingots are placed out, round and shiny, eye-catching and attractive, and when you swing there, it seems that the house is brighter.

Now there is no need for Shen Luzhu to take the initiative to introduce, anyone who enters the shop, there is no one who does not ask!

"Oh, the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, you have earned more money, why did you put all this gold and silver in the shop?"

Shen Luzhu laughed after hearing this, took another paper ingot from behind him, and handed it to the person: "Aunt Zhou, take a closer look, what kind of gold and silver is this?" If this were true, we wouldn't have to sell paper money! ”

Aunt Zhou checked it with her hand, the weight was wrong, and pinched it again: "No, this is a paper?" ”

"Aunt Zhou, you are so smart, this is a paper ingot!"

The aunt of the Song family on the side also leaned over and touched it: "Paper ingots, don't say it, isn't this the gold ingots mentioned in the excerpt!" What's the matter, this is also paper money for the dead? ”

Shen Luzhu took the opportunity to lobby: "Of course, isn't our shop just selling paper money!" Aunt Zhou, Aunt Song, do you want to buy some back? ”

"What kind of selling your ingots are?"

"If you buy this single, it's five cents a piece, if you buy more, hardware and silver, I'll charge you forty wen, how about it?"

When Aunt Zhou heard this, she hesitantly put back the ingots in her hand: "Why is this more expensive than the silver ticket paper money?" ”

"It's more expensive, not to mention that it's troublesome to do, and it uses a lot of raw materials, otherwise how can it be made so similar!"

Aunt Song took the paper ingots that had just been put back, looked at them carefully, if she hadn't held them in her hand, she would have looked like the real thing: "You gold and silver, how can you pay a price?" ”

Shen Luzhu smiled: "Auntie, the raw materials are all the same, but the color is different, so I can't ask you more gold, right?" ”

"This thing in your house is made like the real thing! It looks really eye-catching, you just said that the hardware and five silver are forty Wen? ”

"That's right, buy more cheaply."

"Cheng, then ten! Just in time for the anniversary of the old man's burning, he also burned some gold and silver for him, and then gave me two copper coins to burn paper. ”

"Okay, wait a minute." Shen Luzhu said, took out a piece of yellow burnt paper, wrapped ten paper ingots, and then took two copper coins to burn the paper, and handed them to Aunt Song together.

Aunt Zhou saw that Aunt Song bought it and left happily, and she was also a little moved, but she felt that it was a little expensive, what if it was not good to burn it when she bought it back, she was hesitating, and someone came to the shop again.

As soon as the visitor entered the house, he saw piles of paper ingots: "Yo, this is the new paper money on your house?" This looks more eye-catching than the previous silver ticket paper money, and it looks like real gold! It's expensive, how can this be sold? ”

"Five cents for one, hardware and five silver for forty wen."

"Daughter-in-law of the Chu family, if I just want to buy five gold and try it back, will I give you twenty wen?"

"This ......"

didn't wait for Shen Luzhu to finish speaking, Aunt Zhou, who had been watching from the side, opened her mouth: "Every time your family has new paper money, it is better than the previous one, this time this is the most likeable, the daughter-in-law of the Chu family, do you think this will work, I will also take five, and we will take ten with you together?" It's ......"

Shen Luzhu smiled: "Aunt Zhou, do you want gold too?" ”

"Yes, or they all say you're a smart person!"

"Cheng, then what else do you two want? I'll wrap it up for you! ”

It may be that there is a foreshadowing of the previous copper money burning paper and silver ticket paper money, Shen Luzhu's trial sale of paper ingots this time is much smoother than before, everyone seems to be used to it, and the Chu family's paper money shop has some new things when it comes to everything, and it is a lot easier to explain.

The appearance of this paper ingot, gold and silver, is indeed very eye-catching and attractive, compared with the previous paper money, there is a sense of physical object, everyone accepts it, it seems to be much faster than Shen Luzhu expected, and it didn't take long to get on the right track.

And the Shen family's business is also actively preparing, and Shen Songjie will come from time to time to chat with the young couple about the progress.

As soon as he sent off his second brother Shen Songjie on this day, Chu Yi called his wife aside: "There is something I want to discuss with you." ”
