walk with penguins

The weather in June is like a steamer. If you move a little, the sweat on your body will be like washing. In this kind of weather, Duan Jie will never walk dozens of miles to the town to deliver medicines while staring at the sun. He would not even go by bullock cart.

It just so happened that someone was in the village right now, and it was the same to hand over the medicine to him. Duan Jie packed the watermelon cream early and put it outside, waiting for that person to deliver it to his door.

Not long after breakfast, Han Zhengyi brought Qianxi to the door of Duan Jie's house on time. As soon as Qianxi was put down, she ran towards the back room where Duan Jie and Tuantuan were sleeping.Tuantuan was lying on the bed, Duan Jie pushed him, the little guy twisted his body, pushed again, his face was buried in the mattress, only his chubby butt was exposed.

Reluctantly, Duan Jie took off Qianxi's shoes and carried the little guy onto the kang, "Qianxi will play by himself first, Tuantuan is still sleeping." Qianxi nodded and quickly crawled to Tuantuan's side.

Duan Jie came out of the door, and Han Zhengyi was staring at the grape trellis in his house. There were only a few bunches of green and small grapes hanging on it.

"Mr. Han, you came at the right time. The throat clearing cream was prepared a few days ago, and you just came here to get it today." Duan Jie took out the bottles of medicine from the room with a smile on his face. Put it on the small stone table in the courtyard.

Han Zhengyi looked at the large bottles of throat clearing cream, then at Yu Shi, and said hesitantly, "Isn't this handed over to Guang Shan Tang?"

"You are Shaodong from Guangshantang, so it's the same for you." Just kidding, he was not crazy to run dozens of miles to the town on such a hot day.

Han Zhengyi finally understood what Duan Jie meant, and sighed, "I'll send someone over to take it tonight."

"Well, please write me a note to collect the medicine, which proves that I have already given you the medicine." Duan Jie said, and found a pen and paper from the room.

Han Zhengyi wrote the receipt and stamped it with his own seal. Duan Jie took the receipt, "Should I go to the shop to get the money for the medicine, or?"

Yes, there is still money for the medicine. Han Zhengyi touched his purse, and there were only a dozen taels of silver, and said, "When I get the medicine at night, I will ask someone to bring you the money."

"Of course that would be the best." Duan Jie laughed, then fished out half a watermelon from the well and cut it into slices, "Come, eat a melon to quench your thirst." Naturally, this melon is not from his space, but Duan Jie would not take out the melons bought from outside, in the space, because the taste is too good, and it is too conspicuous to take out.

Han Zhengyi wasn't too polite, he squeezed a piece, um, it was cold and sweet.The two of them ate watermelon and chatted, which was quite pleasant.It's just that the topic turned to Qinghoushuang after talking.

In fact, Duan Jie has always been skeptical about whether Watermelon Cream can make money. When he went to Guangshantang to deliver the medicine a few months ago, he also tried to ask the waiter about the price of the Throat Clearing Cream. Jie was taken aback. It wasn't that he was tall, but that he was a little low.

Guangshantang sells it according to cents, one cent of throat clearing cream only costs two cents, and one tael is fifty cents, that is to say, Guangshantang only earns seventy cents for one tael of throat clearing cream.The common people in the neighborhood only buy a few pennies once they go to buy it.A tael of throat clearing cream will take about seven or eight days to sell.Duan Jie silently calculated, such a shop can sell a few catties a year.Of course, there are quite a few shops in Guangshantang, so it’s no problem to sell out the two hundred catties, but the shipping fee will also increase. For places a little further away, the cost plus shipping fee will not make much money with this pricing money.

Duan Jie took this opportunity to ask this question, Han Zhengyi glanced at him, and said quietly: "If you are willing to sell the prescription, then we will naturally have no shipping fee."

Duan Jie rubbed his nose and said with a dry smile, "Actually, one or two or seventy Wen is quite a lot of money."

"To tell you the truth, our shop didn't intend to use it to make a lot of money. We just wanted to add a signboard to the pharmacy. Later, people said, what kind of medicine is only available in our Guangshantang, so it will damage the reputation of the pharmacy. It's excellent. But don't worry, we can still make a little profit from this medicine, although we can't make much money, there is still a small profit." Han Zhengyi sighed.

Duan Jie thought for a while, "I saw that your pharmacy sells this throat clearing cream directly for sale. Haven't you considered processing it and then selling it?" It is the signature drug of a certain modern manufacturer——Watermelon Frost Lozenges.This thing is made of watermelon frost, mint, borneol and other medicines for reducing fire.The drug content is not much, it tastes not bitter, not astringent, but also has a bit of sweetness, it is ice cold, and it will be much more comfortable to eat when the throat is dry and sore.People in this era probably wouldn't buy this kind of thing, but not necessarily the rich.

This may be a way to make money. Of course, it’s not that there are pills and the like here, but those are pills. It seems that such lozenges have not appeared yet, and it may be that he has little knowledge, but if there are any, just ask Shaodong, the pharmacy, naturally knew about it.

"Processing? How to process it? Can this throat clearing cream be used to produce new medicine?" Han Zhengyi immediately became interested.

"Naturally, new medicine cannot be made, but it can be made into something else. Young master, let me ask you, do you have the kind of medicine that can be gradually absorbed?"

Han Zhengyi thought about it for a while, ginseng tablets can contain it, but they can't dissolve it, and pills can contain it, but no one wants to contain it, so he shook his head, "I haven't heard of this kind of medicine yet."

Duan Jie smiled and said: "I thought of a way, if this way can make money, the young boss will share [-]% of the profit from my new medicine."

Looking at Duan Jie's smiling face, Han Zhengyi felt as if he saw those old cunning people doing business with him, "You say it, and if it's easy to make money, I'll never let you down." The [-]% profit of the new medicine is still on him within the scope of being in charge.Of course, if the method is not good, then this matter will be forgotten.

"This throat clearing cream, add some ice skin, mint, powdered sugar or honey, can it be made into something that can be swallowed?" It is said that there are many kinds of drugs in modern throat clearing lozenges , but Duan Jie only remembers two or three. This is because he often eats.

Han Zhengyi just wanted to say that this method is just nonsense, but when he thought about it, the medicinal properties of these few things are almost not compatible, maybe it is really possible to do it.

Duan Jie continued to draw big cakes for people, "Look, these pills are made, and then some exquisite small porcelain bottles are made to order. Each bottle puts [-] or [-] tablets. They are sold to rich people. When the throat is dry and sore Contains one piece, it tastes sweet and cool, and you can carry it with you anywhere. There must be many people who buy it, and the price doesn’t need to be too low, one tael of silver per bottle.” This price is completely a lion’s mouth.However, Han Zhengyi didn't think there was anything wrong. A tael of silver seemed normal to him, and there were too many rich people in the capital.The various tonics sold in Guangshantang every month are a big part of their profit.A tael of silver is not only not expensive, but also a little cheaper. Han Zhengyi is thinking about whether to make it more refined, or add some more expensive medicine to raise the price a little higher.

"Only add these kinds?"

"Others can also be added, such as fat sea, honeysuckle, heat-clearing and fire-removing, and medicines that do not conflict, you should be able to add them. However, I don't know much about the properties of medicines, so I have to rely on you Guangshantang to verify it. " Duan Jie pushed the ball back as a matter of course, "By the way, can you give me a taste of what you made first."

"Well, I'll bring you a bottle after I've made it. But all the costs of the pre-test drug are included in the cost of the drug." In terms of business, Han Zhengyi is not at a loss. Willing to eat.

Duan Jie nodded: "Naturally, but the contract must be written first."

The two studied for a long time, and came up with a contract with no loopholes. Duan Jie pressed his fingerprints, and Han Zhengyi stamped his own seal, and each of them got a copy.

After sending Han Zhengyi away, Duan Jie could hardly hold back his joy, ran into the house, hugged Zhengxiang who was sleeping, and kissed him hard.Tuantuan's face almost became his father's special celebration item, every time Duan Jie was happy, he would come over to harass his son.

Qianxi fell asleep not long after she came in, and after Duan Jie woke up with a kiss, the little guy also woke up, rubbed his eyes, and stretched out his hand to Duan Jie, meaning that he wanted a kiss too.

Duan Jie kissed Qianxi again, and dressed Tuantuan.Today, Tuantuan is wearing a small skirt. People here have never seen a modern small skirt. Duan Jie shamelessly made a short skirt for his son.The little guy felt quite comfortable, wearing a small skirt and running around with his bare buttocks.

"Eat first, then we can see the sheep bleating." Duan Jie wiped Tuantuan's hands, and then asked Qianxi, "Has Qianxi eaten this morning?" Qianxi glanced at Duan Jie, "Eat, Still want to eat."

Very good, the little guy also knows that the food here is good. Duan Jie went to the kitchen, took out the fish balls he had prepared earlier from the farm, boiled two bowls, and kneaded the noodles separately with carrot juice and celery juice. There are plain buns in red and green, and the ingredients are naturally from farms.Duan Jie makes almost all the food that the children in the family eats from the farm. Even if the cooking skills are mediocre, the taste is incomparably delicious.

The two little guys were full of delicious food, Tuantuan finished their share, looked at a steamed stuffed bun that Qian Xi hadn't had time to eat, and then looked at Duan Jie, seeing that his father really didn't intend to bring out a new steamed stuffed bun, they twisted silently. Turned his face, as if he didn't see the bun.Qianxi had already eaten in the morning, and a steamed bun and a bowl of soup were enough. The little guy took the initiative to push the steamed stuffed bun to Tuantuan.

Le Tuantuan gave Qianxi the picture album he just got yesterday, which was some modern fairy tales drawn by Duan Jie specially for him.While Sang Feng was shopping for brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, Duan Jie asked him to buy some paints and paper, cut them out and bound them, and it took a long time to finish the painting. Of course, the painters were not very good, but they were colorful and colorful. There is a story, it is enough to coax the children, last night this picture book was still a treasure of Tuantuan, but this morning it was let out for a steamed stuffed bun!After a few days of hard work, the result was not as good as a steamed stuffed bun, Duan Jie scratched the wall.
