One hundred and thirty-fourth chapter lure with medicine
Chapter 134: Lure him with medicine
"I went to Fucheng to purchase goods a few days ago, and I will be back in the next few days." The so-called Fucheng is the seat of Qiongshan County and the seat of Qiongzhou Prefecture.
"Going to restock?" Liu San felt a little strange. The business of this drug store was average, and the goods moved very slowly. Shopkeeper Yang told him last time that there was a lot of inventory in the store.
"Yes," Liu Benshan said, "you told him last time that in addition to authentic medicinal materials, a pharmacy must also have a few unique ointments and pills as its signature. Our shopkeeper thought about it for a few days and felt that you
That makes sense. I recently dug out some old prescriptions at home. The store didn't have all the goods, so I went to Fucheng to dispense medicine."
Damn! Liu San thought to himself that he just said it casually, but he didn’t expect that the shopkeeper would take it seriously. He really wanted to prepare some kind of panacea for him. The business was booming, so wouldn’t his acquisition plan be ruined? Liu San knew: There are many people in the traditional Chinese medicine industry.
The century-old store made its fortune by relying on its own unique elixirs. Lei Yunshang's Liushen Pills and Ma Yinglong's eye drops are typical examples.
I really wanted to ask what the recipe was, but it was taboo. So I pretended not to care and asked Manager Liu how the store's recent business was.
"It won't be closed down." Liu Benshan said with a calm look on his face, "This year is actually better than last year. There are no pirates and bandits. I heard that the road market is much calmer, and there are more people coming to get medicine. Even the
Many people have inquired about the tonics that people take, so the shopkeeper came up with this idea."
"Would anyone here think of taking tonics?" People who take tonics need to have some spare money to be able to afford the expense of "taking pills for fun"; secondly, they must also have leisure time and leisure to monitor the long-term workers in the fields all day long.
Living landlords have no interest in eating. There are really not many such people in Lingao County. Let alone taking tonics, there are not even a slightly higher-end restaurant and brothel, which shows the consumption level here.
"I think it's strange even when I'm young." Liu Benshan said, "To say that those who originally took the nourishing plaster were only a few lords in the county and several old men with the title of lord in each village. You can count them on your fingers.
clear."
"What about now, local?"
"They are all from this county. There is one doctor Liu who may recognize him, Mr. Lin."
"Which Mr. Lin?" Liu San thought, I don't recognize Mr. Lin.
"It's Lin Quan'an, Mr. Lin, who runs a warehouse in Dongmen City."
"It's him." Of course Liu San knew this Fujian guy. It was he who was the first to do business with Chuan Chuanzhong who carried a cart. In just one year, he quickly grew from a hawker who carried a cart to sell vegetables.
The owner of a goods store, his activities cover all parts of the island, and he specializes in purchasing for the Chuan Chuan Group. He has a large-scale shop in Dongmen City. He wants to make a fortune. If you are rich, you will inevitably be poor.
Se, it is true both at home and abroad in ancient and modern times.
"There is also Master Wang from the county government office. He must have been favored recently."
This is quite a piece of news! Although Liu San is a modern person, he still gossips: "Why do you see this?"
"In the past, he also took tonics, but as usual every year he would get some prescriptions to replenish the body, replenish qi, remove dampness and strengthen the spleen," Liu Benshan said. "This time he wants to get a plaster that strengthens the kidneys and yang - Dr. Liu, what do you think:
He is a middle-aged man who has been living alone in a foreign country for many years. He has no place to relieve his anger, so what is he doing with this?"
"It makes sense! It makes sense!" Liu San thought that this was important information. Did the intelligence department get the information? Although he couldn't see what Master Wang's seeking a mistress had to do with the Time Travel Group, but he always knew the other party's information.
Trends are always good.
Just as they were talking, there was a noise outside, and Manager Liu hurriedly went out to greet him. Shopkeeper Yang arrived just in time to purchase goods.
Shopkeeper Yang's name is Yang Shixiang. He is in his early thirties. He is fair-skinned and has three strands of clear beard. He is very elegant. He is dressed in a solid gauze robe. Even though he has just come out of the sun, he is still not messy and looks elegant and energetic.
.
"Doctor Liu!" Seeing Liu San in the shop, he didn't care about the waiter who came up to help him change clothes, and hurriedly came up and offered his hands as a courtesy. Both parties had their own politeness.
Although Yang Shixiang is the shopkeeper and owner of a medicine shop whose family is not very prosperous, the young master of the aristocratic family has quite a lot of habits. When he went in, he changed his clothes first, and the waiter came over to fetch water to wipe his face, drank a cup of tea, and went through all the formalities.
After that, Liu San wanted to inquire about his purchase, but didn't know how to ask. Just as he was hesitating, Liu Benshan came in and reported that he had developed the money for a sedan bearer and asked when the porter to transport the medicine would arrive.
"There are no more porters." Yang Shixiang looked dejected, "If you want to get some medicine, there are no familiar pharmacies in Qiongshan County. The entire Qiongzhou Prefecture is out of ginseng and pine nuts, so we have to go to the mainland to have any hope.
.But do you have this much cash?”
"If you really need it, you'd better go to Foshan. There are always a few uncles there, and it's always suspicious to ask them to share some medicinal materials."
"If they are willing to help, why would my late father come to this barbaric frontier land?" Shopkeeper Yang sighed. At this point, Manager Liu also sighed. Liu San heard Liu Benshan vaguely say something about Yang Shixiang's
My father was originally the son of the owner of a large drug store in Foshan town. He moved to Lingao because of the quarrel between his brothers. Although the two parties exchanged condolences, there was no relationship between them. Asking them for help would probably be
Paint cake.
Liu San said deliberately: "Since you have a fellow sect here, you can always help me a little bit, right?"
"Not only are we from the same clan, my boss over there and I are also direct cousins. There are also several uncles and uncles who are still alive. Speaking of relatives, we can't be closer to each other. It's just a common friendship, and we need to borrow some.
It’s a valuable item, and I can probably nod it. I want Liaodong ginseng, and the price is now as good as gold. It’s no use negotiating with me – besides, they may not have it!”
"The officers and soldiers in Liaodong are also useless!" Yang Shixiang couldn't help but scolded, "The Guanning cavalry was beaten like a turtle with its head reduced, and the prices of Liaodong ginseng, pine nuts, and amber were soaring day by day, not to mention the price increase.
Out of stock everywhere!”
Liu San's ears perked up when he heard "Liaodong" and "Guanning Iron Cavalry". Ginseng and pine nuts are both goods from Guandong. Now that the two sides are at war, goods outside the customs cannot circulate, so the price has naturally skyrocketed. He wants to come to Houjin for goods within the customs.
It won't be much cheaper. I wonder if the commercial department has this idea?
However, when he heard that there was no hope for him to transfer goods, Liu San knew that what he was worried about would not happen. There was a way to acquire Runshitang. He already had an idea in his mind on how to acquire Runshitang. A young master from a wealthy family like Yang Shixiang would not If the horse doesn't fall, if he starts talking about buying shares or making acquisitions, it's definitely not going to work. Fortunately, he has another trump card in his hand, which can slowly lure him into submission.
After making a few casual remarks, Liu San took out two small glass vials from his schoolbag - these vials were empty bottles of 800,000 units of penicillin that he specially approved from Shi Niaoren. Pretend that he makes medicine in order to boost his own worth.
"Shopkeeper Yang, please take a look."
Yang Shixiang looked surprised when he saw such a delicate glass vial. He took it and looked at it, then carefully studied the aluminum skin covering the mouth of the bottle, and then asked: "What is this?"
"These are some homemade medicines I made." Liu San was confident.
The medicines in these two small bottles are Zhuge Xingjun Powder and Piwen Powder. These two medicines are common medicines in summer. Among them, Zhuge Xingjun Powder is particularly effective. Detoxification function. It is suitable for cholera, swollen fever, mountain miasma, and heat and filthy evils. It can cure aphthous sores and sore throats. Use marching powder to mix water and instill in the eyes, which has the effect of removing wind and heat obstruction. Take a small amount of the medicine and put it in the nasal cavity to prevent heatstroke. Plague. It is especially suitable in places like Lingao where the weather is hot, humid and muggy in summer.
Biwen Powder is a similar medicine, but its efficacy is far inferior to that of Zhuge Xingjun Powder, but its refreshing and cooling effect is used. It is a summer herbal medicine created by Changchun Hall in the late Qing Dynasty. Because of its low price, it is widely marketed.
The raw materials of these two medicines, except for the expensive medicines such as musk, pearls and Feijin used in Marching Powder, are mostly common medicinal materials and are easy to obtain. Most of the raw materials for the medicine prepared by Liu San were bought from Runshitang Yes, a small part - mainly spices, which were confiscated from Goujiazhuang.
Liu San explained the wonderful uses of two Chinese patent medicines one by one. Based on his limited knowledge of the history of traditional Chinese medicine, Biwen Powder definitely did not exist in 1629. Even Zhuge Xingjun Powder was only published in Qifang Lei in the Qing Dynasty. "It was only summarized in the book. It is estimated that this prescription also existed in the Ming Dynasty, but not many people knew about it, and no one made it into a patent medicine for sale. Otherwise, in a place like Lingao, this would be a very popular medicine, and the raw materials are not counted. It is extremely rare and hard to find. With Shopkeeper Yang’s medical skills, I know that this prescription should be made.
Of course, Liu San refused to reveal these details. He only said that these were two kinds of summer heat medicine specially made in Australia. He saw that the climate in Lingao was hot and humid, and the people suffered from the heat and filth, so he wanted to prepare and sell it locally. It can be regarded as saving the world and saving people.
I heard Liu San say that these two medicines were so miraculous. Yang Shixiang didn't believe it, but this medicine bottle looked priceless, and the medicine probably wasn't too bad. After getting Liu San's consent, he gently sprinkled some of the medicine. The plague spread on the back of my hand and I sucked it in. For a moment, a refreshing look appeared on my face:
"Good stuff!" Yang Shixiang praised, "It refreshes the mind and really makes the whole body feel cool."
"It's ridiculous. The weather in Australia is hot. This anti-fungal powder can sell hundreds of thousands of bottles a year..."
"Hundreds of thousands of bottles? There are so many!" Yang Shixiang exclaimed, "Australia is really a good place for people to be rich and prosperous!"
Liu San thought to himself that this had nothing to do with Australia, the key was that we did not have this awareness in this time and space. During the war in the Republic of China, Changchundang could still sell 2.5 million boxes a year.
Yang Shixiang sniffed Zhuge Xingjun Powder again and pondered for a moment: "The two sides are quite similar. They both use borneol and cinnabar. Biwen Powder seems to have the most spices, including mint and sandalwood. The medicinal effect should not be as good as Marching Army Powder."
Disperse."
Liu San secretly admired it. It was not easy to know the main formula just by smelling it. Shopkeeper Yang really had some real talent.
"Shopkeeper Yang is smart! He can tell the truth at a glance. To be honest, to avoid the plague is to make it cheap so that ordinary poor people can afford it." Liu Sancun actually had the idea of "matching high and low".
Yang Shixiang nodded repeatedly and said that Liu San had the heart to help the world by hanging the pot. Liu San took the opportunity to propose cooperation in this area. Liu San would make the recipe and Runshitang would be responsible for the processing and sales.
"Easy to say, easy to say." Yang Shixiang originally wanted to sell some cheap and easy-to-use patent medicines, but he couldn't find a suitable prescription - there were ancient prescriptions in medical books that ranged from eight hundred to one thousand, but generally he didn't dare to take it lightly.
Use it, but who knows if it will be effective? Runshitang is not like a big drugstore. It has strong capital and can keep trying. You must be sure before taking action.
Liu San was willing to cooperate with him by providing a prescription for the powder, which Yang Shixiang naturally wanted. The two hit it off immediately.
Seeing that he was willing to cooperate, Liu San took out two prescriptions from his pocket. The medicine, dosage and preparation process of the two powders were clearly written on them.
However, Yang Shixiang refused to accept it, waving his hands repeatedly: "I can't do it, I can't do it. This is your recipe, Dr. Liu. Why don't you just give it to me? I can't afford it."
"If you don't get the prescription, how can you ask the guys to prepare the medicine?" Liu San wondered.
He expressed his thoughts: Of course Liu San’s secret recipe should be used, but he was not required to disclose the recipe to the public. Instead, he was asked to prepare and prepare the medicine by himself. Runshitang was only responsible for concocting the medicine and post-processing. As for the role of "monarch, minister and envoy"
Which herbs? How much weight? How to prepare it? Only he knows, so that the recipe will not be leaked.
Liu San thought to himself that Shopkeeper Yang was really sincere and always considered others. He was an upright gentleman. However, there was nothing unusual about these two prescriptions. It would be time-consuming and laborious to make them by yourself, so it would be better to be more generous and let Runshitang handle them. Liu San
San is extremely confident that these two patent medicines will open up the market. By the way, let’s take a look at the popularity of Runshitang - he has many patent medicine prescriptions in his hand. If this shop can rely on the winner, it will be able to cooperate in depth in the future. If it is unreliable,
, the maximum is just a loss of two cubes.
"Shopkeeper Yang, you are worrying too much about this." Liu San said, "I live here as a guest, and I am too busy just to see a doctor every day. How can I have any spare time to concoct medicines? The reputation of Runshitang and your old credibility
Put it there, what else can't I trust? When doing business in partnership, everyone has to work together, so it would be pointless if you guard me and I guard you."
"I'm afraid this is not appropriate." Yang Shixiang was still hesitant.
"It's okay. I can't do it for you. I won't come to shopkeeper Yang to discuss this matter with you today."
Having said this, Yang Shixiang couldn't help but refuse, took it, and took a look at the compatibility on the recipe.
"The shops like Musk, Borneo, and Feijin don't have any stock, nor pearls, and there are many spices..." Yang Shixiang said, "I have to go to Qiongshan County again to buy some goods - I'm afraid there are some in Qiongshan.
The county may not have it." He frowned and counted with his fingers, and then asked cautiously: "How many doses should be prepared for the first time?"
