Chapter VII Chinese Patent Medicine and Crossing Welfare
Since Zhao Gongming had the idea of improving the operation of pharmacies through the development of Chinese patent medicines, a five-finger thick "Pharmacopoeia" has been read by him to three fingers thick. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In his previous life, he was accustomed to understanding the whole picture of books through the table of contents, and Zhao Gongming could only read the "Pharmacopoeia" in his hand, which did not have a catalog page, page by page.
Zhao Gongming holds the attitude of "it is a medicine with three poisons", and he does not dare to be sloppy about the Chinese patent medicine that is related to the life and health of patients and his future career development, after all, Niu Da's "lessons from the past" are not far away.
According to the "Pharmacopoeia", this kind of hemostatic medicine only needs to be mixed with two common herbs in a certain proportion, and then ground into powder, and sprinkled on the bleeding area when used.
When Zhao Gongming proposed to use this prescription as the first over-the-counter medicine made by the pharmacy, the shopkeeper only asked Zhao Gongming one sentence, "Have you ever seen someone come to the store to buy medicine with the prescription prescribed by the hospital to stop bleeding?"
Zhao Gongming thought about it carefully, and in his memory, there was indeed no patient who came to buy hemostatic medicine, and it seemed that he had never encountered a traumatic patient like hemorrhage who came to the pharmacy to buy medicine.
The shopkeeper quickly gave the answer, "Those in the town who go into the mountains to collect medicine and hunt, it is common to see blood when injured, and the herbs needed to stop bleeding are not rare, as long as you enter the mountain, you can find it with a little effort, and every family has already prepared their own, so why do you need to prescribe additional prescriptions to catch medicine." ā
Zhao Gongming forgot that this world was different from the previous life, and that Caoxu Town, as a town with gathering and hunting as its leading industry, was obviously far superior to the previous life in terms of self-sufficiency.
The only major consumption items in Caoxu Town are grain and salt, which are not produced locally and are transported from abroad, while the consumption of other commodities is extremely limited, and the town's population makes it easy to saturate the consumer market.
Zhao Gongming's plan for Chinese patent medicine, unless a low-cost, wide-applicability, and very low-substitution drug variety can be found, the plan is bound to fail.
Zhao Gongming did not back down from the obstacles he encountered in his first business plan in another world, and the Pharmacopoeia in his hand, which was two-fifths thick, supported his remaining beliefs.
Unconsciously completed the fight against his apprentice's belief in the money shopkeeper, since the daily affairs of the pharmacy to the apprentice, these days he has spent most of his time in the backyard, except for Zhao Gongming occasionally asked questions in the "Pharmacopoeia", he will only show up.
After the failure of the hemostatic drug plan, Zhao Gongming once again immersed himself in studying the "Pharmacopoeia", until a girl who collected medicine came to the store, which lifted Zhao Gongming, who was reading a book and was dazed.
It is rare to see a girl today, only to see this medicine picker wearing a common coarse cloth short shirt, the neckline, cuffs, and feet are tightly tied, only a little wheat-colored skin is exposed behind the ears, which is the dress of a typical medicine picker.
The reddish face, the beads of sweat on her forehead, and the slightly anxious look in her eyes indicated that the girl might have encountered something urgent.
A medicine basket behind it, in addition to a basket full of various medicinal materials, the top of the basket also pressed a medicine hoe and a medicine sickle, and the remaining soil traces on it still carried a bit of moisture.
The girl obviously came to the Qian family pharmacy to sell medicine for the first time, at least in Zhao Gongming's memory, she didn't leave any impression.
"Man, isn't the shopkeeper there?" the girl stared at Zhao Gongming, obviously not trusting this young guy, maybe she was used to dealing with older people.
"Girl, the Qian family's pharmacy has always been undeceived in purchasing medicinal materials, and you don't need the money shopkeeper to come forward with this basket of medicinal materials, I can call the shots. Zhao Gongming felt the contempt of the other party, and immediately indicated that he had the authority to purchase medicinal materials.
"I have a lot of herbs in this basket, can you guarantee that you can divide them clearly? I get the price wrong, be careful that your shopkeeper deducts your wages." The girl still expressed doubts, but she still carefully took out the herbs in the basket and sorted them in the lobby of the pharmacy.
Zhao Gongming secretly thought that he had never been paid, but he didn't want to continue to quarrel with his sister, after all, the business was important, the first pass for pharmacies to purchase medicinal materials was to test the medicine, and different varieties, different years, and the completeness of the medicinal materials and other standards determined different purchase prices.
"Three-year-old swift grass, the stems, leaves and roots are complete, one charm money and ten plants, these are counted as your five charms. ā
"Five-year-old kudzu, the original price is two fu money and one catty, these are damaged, and two catties are counted as your three fu money. ā
"Ten years of floating mushrooms, good things, in good condition, three fu money one tael, these count you thirty fu money. ā
Zhao Gongming checked the color while weighing the medicinal materials, and the price quoted casually made the girl's face change constantly.
"Hey, and the snake? I'll see what kind of species it is. Zhao Gongming picked up a curly snake and looked at it carefully, this thing is not common, since he took over the purchase of medicinal materials in the store, he has only received one snake molt, and this is the second time.
The snake was dark green as a whole, and the fine scales on the surface had long lost their luster, and they were crumpled and curled into an inconspicuous mass.
If it is lost in the mountains and forests, Zhao Gongming estimates that it will be difficult for ordinary people to notice, it seems that if it is not for this girl's luck to happen to meet, then she must have extraordinary eyesight, and it is possible to find this snake in the chaotic environment in the mountains.
This snake molt is completely different from the one acquired by Zhao Gongming last time, the snake molt last time has very obvious characteristics, it is easy to see that it belongs to the common seven-ringed snake in the mountains and forests, and the seven ring-shaped patterns on the snake skin are clearly visible.
In addition to the dark green color, the snake in front of him can't find other characteristics at all, you must know that only with the dark green characteristic, Zhao Gongming can find more than ten kinds of snakes from the "Pharmacopoeia".
Obviously, the test of this snake is beyond his ability, and Zhao Gongming can only call for support, although the Haikou he boasted before made him very embarrassed in front of his sister.
The money shopkeeper, who was a little angry about getting up, was obviously dissatisfied with the behavior of disturbing his rest, and it was not until Zhao Gongming brought the dark green snake to him that he settled down to take a closer look.
Zhao Gongming watched his shopkeeper turn over and over to inspect the snake molt, and even came to his nose to smell the smell, and then cut a small piece with a knife and crushed it and put it into the water to stir to observe the changes in the water.
After several inspections, the shopkeeper finally announced: This snake belongs to an unknown species of snakes in the Tiandu Mountains, which has not yet been named, and the specific medicinal effect is unknown, but the pharmacy still buys it.
The money shopkeeper said that he had done his best, and Zhao Gongming said that the purchase price of the snake was negotiable.
The girl silently expressed her contempt for the shopkeeper and the two of them: After checking for a long time, I didn't understand anything, I think I'm so foolish, right?
Fortunately, the medicinal materials brought by the sister, except for the snake molt, the other herbs have successfully completed the inspection procedure, and after calculating the price, only the snake molt has not yet been priced.
"Although I don't know what kind of snake moult this is, but you don't pay a big price, don't think about me selling it to you, it's a big deal that I sell it to the Zhao family's Huairentang, their shop is bigger than yours, I must know what this is." ā
The girl obviously recognized Zhao Gongming's profiteer attributes, and with the idea of a strange commodity to live in, she wanted a high price. The shopkeeper stayed out of the matter, saying that he had handed over the acquisition of the pharmacy to Zhao Gongming.
Zhao Gongming suddenly sat on the wax, so he had to calculate the price of medicinal materials other than snake molt, and at the same time think about how to buy the snake molt from the girl, and never allow this unnamed snake molt to fall into the hands of the competitor Huai Rentang.
Just as Zhao Gongming took out the talisman money from the counter, he was going to pay the price of medicinal materials other than snake molt to the other party first, and then slowly discuss the price of snake molt with his sister.
The shell-shaped scar on his chest began to get hot, and a balance appeared in Zhao Gongming's mind, on one end of the tray was a miniature three-dimensional figure of an unnamed snake, and on the other end of the tray was an image of a talisman in Zhao Gongming's hand.
As the image of the talisman on one end of the tray gradually increased from one to one, the balance gradually began to balance until the number of talismans on the tray increased to fifty.
Zhao Gongming hadn't woken up from the vision in his mind, and suddenly heard the girl's voice in his ears, "Man, can you still accept this snake?"
"Collect! Of course, how about fifty runes, girl?" Zhao Gongming couldn't help blurting out, and the price given was exactly the number of runes on the scale.
