Rescue the party and benefit the people

Su Ze only heard this woman in brocade clothes disguised as a man talking to the old man in hospital clothes:

"Huang Tiju, under our government's system, the Huimin Pharmacy will set up anti-fungal (prevention of infectious diseases), Baoji (obstetrics and gynecology), Huimin (cheap medicine), etc. Why does our Huimin Medical Bureau here only have cold and fever (

(cold) together?"

"Fang, Mr. Fang, you don't know something. The income of the medical bureau is too low. All the doctors have gone to Shaw Hospital. Hanretang relies on the old man and his son to support it. It is really impossible to open another clinic."

The woman in gilded clothes frowned and asked: "After the new prefect took office, didn't he already make up the money he owed to the medical bureau for life insurance? Why do you still look like this?"

"As soon as this life-saving money arrived at the pharmacy, several drug dealers came to visit us. We have owed too much medicine money over the years, and it is not enough for these drug dealers to share."

This old man was promoted by the Huimin Pharmacy. The promotion by the Pharmacy was not an official, not even an official. Like the hundreds of households in the health department, it was a position passed down from generation to generation by medical households.

The Huang family is the contemporary promotion of Nanping County Huimin Pharmacy. Before Su Ze crossed over, he was the director of a third-class hospital in a prefecture-level city.

However, Huang Tiju's clothes were full of patches, and his hands were covered with calluses and burns. Su Ze used his [medical skills] to see at a glance that these were traces of long-term preparation of traditional Chinese medicine.

Such a large Huimin Pharmacy, Tieju, even had to concoct its own medicinal materials, which shows that this Huang Tieju was really having a miserable time.

The woman in brocade clothes asked: "How can there be such a deficit?"

Huang Tiju said with a bitter face: "When the medicine is applied at the beginning of every month, the rogues in the city will block the door of the pharmacy, get low-price medicine and then sell it on the street. If the medicine is not applied enough, they will also

I'm bothering the little old man to go see the official. When I apply medicine at the beginning of every month, most of the medicinal materials purchased by the pharmacy will be consumed, so there is no income."

Huimin Pharmacy is a welfare institution. It distributes medicines at the beginning of every month, usually some mixtures to treat diarrhea or colds.

Originally this policy was considered a good policy, but soon rogues targeted the pharmacy for charity.

Every time alms are given, these gangsters will rush into the pharmacy, snatch the donated medicines, and then sell them at high prices on the street in front of the pharmacy.

People who really need medicine can't get free medicine, and these ruffians regard monthly medication as welfare. If the free medicine provided by the pharmacy is less, they will beat and scold Huang Tiju.

The woman in brocade clothes asked in surprise: "Does the Yamen not care?"

"Yamen, how can the yamen manage this? Most of the gangsters in the pharmacy are from the Bawang Club. Together with the Luohanjiao at the city gate, they are known as the two major clubs in Nanping County. They are backed by rich people. It is not Huang who was promoted by the pharmacy at all.

Can offend."

Huang Tiju sighed again and said: "I have also taught several smart apprentices, and now they all go to medical clinics. With the income from Huimin Pharmacy, it is difficult to support the family."

"Even if there weren't these gangsters robbing medicine, the pharmacy wouldn't be able to make any money. I don't have all the medicines here, so how can I treat people?"

In Huang Tiju's father's generation, Huimin Pharmacy had medicine fields. At that time, Huimin Pharmacy could still be maintained relying on the output of the medicine fields. When officials and squires in the city got sick, they would politely ask for help.

His father went to see a doctor.

But in Huang Tiju's generation, all the drug fields of the pharmacy were sold by the government, and the "life insurance money" specially allocated was often in arrears. It was actually delayed for a whole year before the new prefect took office!

In order to keep the pharmacy going, Huang Tiju even broke into his own property.

If it weren't for his own son still helping out in the pharmacy, this pharmacy wouldn't even be able to treat cold and fever patients.

The woman in Jinyi finally believed what Huang Tiju said, the Huimin Pharmacy in Yanping Prefecture really couldn't sustain it anymore.

In fact, this pharmacy is pretty good, and Huimin Pharmacies in some areas have closed down.

"If I withdraw one year's life insurance money first, can I replenish the medicinal materials?"

"It is possible to replenish the supply of commonly used medicinal materials, but now that everyone in the city goes to Shaw Hospital for difficult and complicated diseases, it is difficult to maintain the supply of medicinal materials alone."

"You can make up for it first, and then I will find a way to call on the nobles in the city to come to your place for medical treatment."

Pfft, Su Ze couldn't help laughing.

Huang Tiju and the woman in brocade clothes both looked at Su Ze.

Then the woman in brocade clothes asked with a smile on her lips: "Why are you laughing, Master?"

After being discovered by someone eavesdropping and laughing at the other party in public, Su Ze could only hand over his hand and said, "I accidentally overheard the conversation between the two of you. It's really rude, so I'm leaving."

"Wait a minute, are you laughing at what I said?"

Seeing that although the woman in brocade clothes was smiling, her words were full of guns and sticks, Su Ze was not prepared to coddle her and said directly:

"There are restaurants that open and encourage people to eat and drink, but I've never seen people ordering people to go to the hospital. What's the use if the disease can't be cured?"

Huang Tiju lowered his head in shame. In fact, his medical skills were not bad, and he was good enough to treat patients in this city. However, it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. There were too many medicinal materials, and there was no way to prescribe medicine.

The woman in brocade clothes was a little dissatisfied, but Su Ze was telling the truth. Seeing a doctor was not a meal, so there was no way he would tell others to go.

She rolled her eyes and said, "Young Master, I just heard that the pharmacy is like this. Do you have a good way to bring the dead back to life?"

Want to make your own ideas work for nothing?

Su Ze said without interest: "The disease is in the bone marrow, where the commander belongs, there is nothing we can do."

Su Ze was about to leave like this, but he didn't expect this woman in brocade to stand in front of him and ask, "Han Feizi?"

Su Ze then remembered that the ancient prose in his school textbook was not knowledge that ordinary scholars could access in this era.

The ancient texts of the Pre-Qin Dynasty were very popular in the Ming Dynasty, but they were lost too much in the past dynasties, and major bibliophiles treasured them for themselves. They were not as widely disseminated as they were in the information age.

The woman in brocade clothes felt that Su Ze was extraordinary when she heard Su Ze casually say Han Fei's words.

I only saw this woman in brocade clothes bowing to Su Ze and saying, "Huimin Pharmacy was established to benefit the people. If you really have a way, please give me some advice."

Su Ze was a little surprised. The woman in brocade clothes was able to be promoted by the pharmacy to accompany her, and she was also able to ask a big family in the city to come to see a doctor. She obviously had an extraordinary status.

But she did not use her status to suppress herself, but humbly asked herself for advice.

And she really wants Huimin Pharmacy to "benefit" the people.

The Huimin Pharmacy is open, so it can still benefit some people.

If it really goes bankrupt, ordinary poor people will have to wait to die if they get sick.

Su Ze thought of this and decided to do something for Huimin Pharmacy.

He responded with a salute and said: "Tiji, please have a pen and paper."

Huang Tiju immediately said: "Yes, yes!"

Huang Tiju guided Su Ze and the woman in brocade to the counter, took out a pen and paper and spread them in front of Su Ze.

Su Ze was tall and extraordinary, and Huang Tiju had some vague expectations in his heart. He wanted to know what he could do to bring the pharmacy back to life.

Su Ze picked up the pen and quickly wrote down several medicinal materials and their proportions.

With his current level 1 medical skills, he naturally doesn't have any powerful prescriptions.

But to solve the medical bureau's predicament, it doesn't take too drastic a prescription.

Su Ze wrote the first prescription, which became a very common therapeutic drink in later generations and the most popular drink in Fujian and Guangzhou - herbal tea.

Herbal tea was very popular in Fujian and Guangzhou in later generations. It can clear away heat and detoxify, produce body fluids and quench thirst, remove fire and remove dampness. It is suitable for all ages and is considered a therapeutic drink.

Although herbal tea without sugar is bitter, it has a unique sweet taste. If you add more sugar, it will be a drink with a unique flavor.

Moreover, as a common drink in Fujian and Guangzhou, herbal tea requires common medicinal materials, which are not expensive.

After writing down the recipe for herbal tea, Su Ze took up the pen and wrote down the recipe for sour plum soup.

The main ingredients of sour plum soup are processed black plums and hawthorns, which are also common medicinal materials in pharmacies and are very cheap.

This drink is also very popular across the country. The recipe Su Ze wrote was improved in the Qing Dynasty, which is just suitable for the Fujian area with hot summers.

Su Ze wrote down the two recipes, handed them to Huang Tiju and said:

"Every day, follow these two recipes, brew two large cans of soup and tea and put them at the door. Within the first ten days, people will drink them for free, and then you can bring them back and sell them after ten days."

"You can set the selling price yourself. You can put the soup and tea in a bamboo tube first and have someone buy it back together with the bamboo tube. If you want to buy it next time, you only need to bring the bamboo tube over and the bamboo tube will not be charged."

Huang Tiju and the woman in brocade looked at each other. After looking at each other, Huang Tiju asked:

"Excuse me, sir, what do these two prescriptions treat?"

Su Ze said: "The first prescription is to clear away heat, disinfect, remove fire and remove dampness. You can drink it even if you are not sick."

"The last recipe is a sweet soup. If you add sugar, it will taste better. But your pharmacy can't afford to add sugar. This is a summer drink to relieve the heat. At most, it has the effect of strengthening the stomach and digestion."

Huang Tiju thought for a while. From a pharmacological point of view, Su Ze's two prescriptions were indeed effective. But wasn't he a pharmacy? Why did he start selling soup and tea?

The woman in brocade clothes' eyes lit up. In fact, drinks were already very popular in the Ming Dynasty.

In "Neng Duo Shi Shi" written in the early Ming Dynasty, the preparation methods of many kinds of drinks were recorded, and the fourth volume of dietary prescriptions for treating diseases was devoted to health-care diets for the elderly and introduced dietary therapy methods that use food to treat common diseases in the elderly.

Nowadays, the great Confucian scholars in the field of mind also pay attention to "eating in accordance with the weather" and eating corresponding foods in the four seasons to purify the body and mind.

Although I don’t know how Su Ze’s two prescriptions taste, Huimin Pharmacy sells dietary drinks, and there seems to be nothing wrong with them.

With my own connections, I can also use some connections to attract the patronage of dignitaries in the city.

The raw materials in this recipe are not very valuable. They are all common medicinal materials. Huimin Pharmacy also stocks them. If the price is reasonable, you can still make money.

As long as it can make money, Huimin Pharmacy can hire more doctors and purchase more medicinal materials, and the pharmacy can continue to operate.

The woman in brocade clothes bowed to Su Ze sincerely and said, "Thank you sir for the prescription."

Then she added: "May I ask Mr. Gao's name? If you can really bring the pharmacy back to life, I will definitely send you a reward."

Although they were just two drinks, they seemed to be family secret recipes. The friendship between Su Ze and Su Ze was quite strong.

However, the woman in brocade didn't know that this was just a recipe for Lv1 skills, and Su Ze had a better drink recipe behind him.

If Huimin Pharmacy can really open up the situation and develop the beverage market, Su Ze will also consider asking people from Changningwei to set up stalls on traffic thoroughfares to sell tea.

Moreover, Su Ze was also moved by the woman in brocade's heart to benefit the people, so he came up with a solution for the pharmacy.

As for whether it would work, and whether he would be blackmailed by the gangsters of the Bawang Club after making money, that was not what Su Ze wanted to think about.

However, it was not Su Ze's style to do good deeds without leaving his name behind. He returned the greeting and said, "I am Chang Ning Wei Su Ze. Meng Hai taught Qing Yan to study at the county school."

Originally, Su Ze just casually reported his name and address. Unexpectedly, the woman in brocade clothes said: "It turns out that it is Mr. Su Ze who is the 'Guan Qi Book of Benevolence and Righteousness'. You are rude."

Su Ze was stunned. He didn't expect this woman in brocade to have heard the question he asked Magistrate Bai.

Is the circle of scholars in Nanping County so small?

Then the woman in brocade clothes said with a smile: "Since Mr. Su gave me the prescription, please name these two drinks."

Su Ze thought for a while and said: "The first tea drink is called Huimin herbal tea, which means benefiting the people."

"The second drink already has a name, let's call it sour plum soup."

The woman in brocade clothes repeatedly chanted: "Huimin herbal tea, good! It is a thing that benefits the people. The sour plum soup makes people salivate as soon as it is heard. It must be a good way to relieve the heat. Mr. Su's talent is admired by young students."

Su Ze then remembered that he came here to practice his skills, so why did he come up with a recipe and a name?

This woman is poisonous!

Under her courteous appearance, she can always achieve her goals through words.

I'm afraid she's not a fox!

Su Ze thought of this and said simply: "There are still classes in the afternoon, Su takes leave."

After saying this, Su Ze left Huimin Pharmacy without looking back.

Huang Tiju held two prescriptions and said anxiously: "Master Fang, can this method work?"

Mr. Fang took the prescription and said, "In this case, if I pay half of the silver, this business can be considered a partnership between us."

"partnership?"

Huang Tiju was stunned for a moment, only to hear Mr. Fang say:

"If there is a loss, the pharmacy and I will share the responsibility. If there is a profit, I will also share half of the profit."

Huang Tiju thought about it. If he wanted to buy a teapot, the bamboo tube would also cost money. This was a solution that had both ends.

The woman in brocade clothes added: "If you make money, send 20% of the profit to the county school and give it to Mr. Su."

"Why is this?"

"People come up with prescriptions out of the desire to benefit the people. Repaying kindness with kindness is the long-term solution. Can't we give up this little benefit?"

Although Huang Tiju was somewhat reluctant, he did not dare to disobey Mr. Fang and could only nod in agreement.

Mr. Fang then said, "You can make a copy of it, and I will take back Mr. Fang's original copy."

How dare Huang Tiju disobey this person's wishes? He quickly said: "I obey!"

"Young Master" Fang looked at Su Ze's Level 3 calligraphy, shook his head and said: "This character is not even as good as father, it is indeed a bit worse, but the person is interesting."

"I want to go back and write a letter to my uncle, but I can still do this business!"

Su Ze walked quickly towards the county school, but he didn't expect that when he got to the gate of the county school, the carriages and horses blocked the Lingxing Gate, and the queues reached the Town God's Temple at the entrance of the alley.

When did the county school become so lively?
