After bidding farewell to the two of them, Shen Yue started making potions.
It is much better to have medicine than to take medicine with a prescription. For common colds and coughs, it is much more convenient to directly prepare pills or powders.
Shen Yue asked Luo Mu to help her boil some rice paste and steam some glutinous rice.
Luo's mother happily agreed, and Luo Qingjiu also put down the fan she had just made and approached Shen Yue, "What about me? What can I do to help you?"
Luo Qingjiu suddenly approached, making Shen Yue's heart tremble.
Looking straight at Luo Qingjiu's clear and handsome face, Shen Yue's face became slightly hot, and she stretched out her little hand to push him, "What are you doing so close, you scared me!"
Luo Qingjiu was stunned by Shen Yue's words, but then she realized that Shen Yue was shy.
This made Luo Qingjiu feel happy and a smile bloomed on her face.
Luo Qingjiu raised her eyebrows, held her chin and sat opposite Shen Yue, "Don't I want to come over and help you? My wife is so tired every day, I will feel bad for you."
"I..."
Shen Yue felt that things were going wrong. Why was Luo Qingjiu becoming more and more flirtatious?
She even didn't understand why the original person was so resistant to Luo Qingjiu before.
Ahhhh, she can't resist!
While Shen Yue was immersed in her own thoughts, Luo Qingjiu had already separated the items in the basket in front of her into each category and stacked them neatly.
Shen Yue came back to her senses and looked at the neatly stacked medicinal materials placed aside. Shen Yue stared blankly at Luo Qingjiu.
"Mr. Sir, how did you tell the difference?"
There are several medicinal materials that look similar, so it is easy to make a mistake, especially Duhuo and Qianghuo. Even doctors who have been practicing medicine for many years may make a mistake.
And Luo Qingjiu not only admitted no one was wrong, but also let out all the ones with poor appearance...
"You can tell at a glance that they look different. Of course, there is also a difference in smell." Luo Qingjiu put the bamboo basket within Shen Yue's reach and asked, "Is there anything else I can do to help my lady?"
Shen Yue looked at Luo Qingjiu funny and rolled her eyes, "Of course you can! My husband, please help me find the medicinal materials!"
Since the boss has such a strong ability to distinguish, then she shouldn't train his ability to grasp medicine in advance?
So, Shen Yue held the stone mortar and pounded the medicine, and Luo Qingjiu found the corresponding medicinal materials and put them in according to what she said.
Soon the medicinal materials were ground into fine powder, and the rice paste cooked by Luo Mu was also ready. Luo Qingjiu went into the kitchen and brought it out.
Shen Yue prepared the medicinal powder according to the prescription in her mind, and Luo Qingjiu used rice paste as the excipient and mixed it into shape.
Under Shen Yue's demonstration, Luo Mu kneaded the pills into thumb-sized and uniform pills, and placed them in a basket to dry.
Pills have long-lasting potency and are small in size, making them convenient to take, carry and store. They are a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine dosage form in modern times.
However, one drawback of pills is that they are slowly absorbed, so they are only suitable for some patients with mild symptoms.
In Qingshui Town, there are many people who are afraid to see a doctor. Their symptoms are definitely not something that pills can solve.
After making some pills for common symptoms, Shen Yue made some powders and wrapped them one by one in butter paper.
Especially for the Fenghan Powder, Shen Yue prepared a little more and did not stop until all the medicinal materials on hand were finished.
The glutinous rice was cooled to a comfortable temperature. Shen Yue used the distiller's yeast given by Uncle Yuan, made another jar, and worked with Luo Qingjiu to set it aside for fermentation.
"Let's go, it's already noon and it's time to rest!" After putting away the jars, Luo Qingjiu took Shen Yue to clean her hands.
Seeing this scene, Luo's mother couldn't help but smile and shake her head. The relationship between the two children was getting better day by day, and she was also very pleased.
…
The afternoon sun shines brightly, and the pills glow with a unique woody fragrance.
After a midday exposure to the sun, the pills have all taken their shape.
After Shen Yue had a lunch break, the first thing she did when she got up was to put away these pills. The small medicine jar she bought a few days ago came in handy.
After Shen Yue put it away, Luo Qingjiu took a brush and dipped it in ink and wrote names on the jars: Shangjindonggu Pills, Shujinghuoxue Pills, Fenghanmao Pills, Qingreliangxue Pills, Tiankui Zhitong Pills...
After writing everything down, Shen Yue kept part of it at home, waiting to be used in the medicine store, and put part of it in a backpack to check the efficacy of the medicine tomorrow.
I still need to purchase some more medicinal materials, and prepare for the opening of the pharmacy.
…
Early the next morning.
Shen Yue woke up, turned over and went outside to wash up. Luo Qingjiu also got up soon after.
After Shen Yue had breakfast, she was ready to take a bullock cart to the town. It was time to visit Suyuanzhai and Yaochang.
There is also a decision on the drug store.
Luo Qingjiu wanted to go with him, but Shen Yue didn't agree and asked him to rest at home. The Tongsheng exam had just ended, so he should have a good rest at home and relax.
Besides, following her, how will she experiment with the usability of space...
Luo Qingjiu seemed to have thought of something and did not follow him.
Not long after Shen Yue left, Luo Qingjiu also went out, waving her fan.
…
Qin family.
"Yue'er, Uncle Qin hasn't had time to ask, how is Xiaojiu's exam going?" Qin Lizheng asked Shen Yue about Luo Qingjiu.
"I didn't ask, I wanted to let my husband relax for a few days, but I guess the result will only come out in these two days, so there is no rush."
"That's true, Xiaojiu has been smart since he was a child, so he must be good at it!" Unlike the one from his family...
He got angry when he thought of Qin Dalang and asked him how he did in the exam without even saying a word.
It’s really a waste of all the efforts that Xiaojiu’s mother has been seeking.
Shen Yue smiled after hearing this. She naturally believed in Luo Qingjiu's strength, so she was not anxious about the result.
After arriving in the town, she said goodbye to Qin Lizheng and the others, and came to Suyuanzhai alone.
When passing by the alley, Shen Yue saw that no one was there, took out the mushroom skewers from the space and put them into the backpack.
This space is quite easy to use and can save a lot of effort.
Xiaofan became proud, "That is, Xiaofan's product must be a high-quality product."
Shen Yue: "..."
You are so arrogant, does the Lord God System know?
…
Arriving at Suyuanzhai, Uncle Yuan immediately settled the banknotes for the past few days to Shen Yue.
Especially on the day of the private order, her income increased sharply. In addition to the rice wine and distilled water brought from the Luo Family Courtyard, she had as much as four hundred taels in her hands!
You can see how much revenue has been generated these days.
Shen Yue and Uncle Yuan checked the accounts of the past few days and made personal customizations for several aunts who had made reservations.
After asking about the situation in the kitchen and leaving some ingredients behind, Shen Yue set off for the medicine warehouse.
We arrived at the Cui family medicine warehouse with ease.
Uncle Ren said that Band-Aid sales are extremely popular in Beijing! So he and Shen Yue discussed whether they could expand production?
"The supply of these band-aids exceeds the demand. The price has been raised again in Beijing, and there is still an endless stream of people coming to buy them."
"I'll try to make as many as possible later. Uncle Ren might as well take a look at my newly developed pills. The efficacy is on the bottle. At most, three pills will give you initial results."
"Oh? Then this is good stuff!" Uncle Ren put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, with a smile on his brows.
This child is really just like her mother, and the medicines she makes are impressive.
"Baizhu, go and pay the money for the top-grade medicine to Miss A Yue."
"Yes." Baizhu responded.
Shen Yue always felt that something was wrong, so she immediately told Uncle Ren that she wanted to open a pharmacy.
"Uncle Ren, I don't just supply you with these pills, I also use them in my own pharmacy, and they are sold by ordinary people, so the price doesn't have to be so high."
Uncle Ren was startled for a moment, then smiled heartily, "So that's what you're worried about. It doesn't matter. Except for things like band-aids that can be seen at a glance, you can set the price of other medicines at your own discretion. What Uncle Ren values is the efficacy of the medicine."
Shen Yue understood that she had thought too little.
