"We don't need to recruit people for the time being. There are only a few people to use the machines. It's hard to arrange for too many casual workers." Liu San said, "If you have the skills in the drug store, you might as well recruit a few more - the medical bureau can use them."
"
Liu San told him not to recruit any more people in the near future, and that it would not be too late to expand the number of people according to demand after the factory is completed.
In fact, it was Wu De who had greeted him and asked him to keep the personnel of the traditional Chinese medicine factory in check. Now the workers in Runshitang were recruited from across the group, and some were recruited from Guangdong by Runshitang themselves. The ingredients are complicated and it is not easy.
Management. Wu De hopes that Liu San will take back the personnel rights as soon as possible. In the future, the workers of the pharmaceutical factory will be uniformly deployed from the refugees in the quarantine camp.
"Brother, you are right." Yang Shixiang did not expect that there were twists and turns. He knew nothing about how to organize machine production, so he obeyed everything Liu San said. "From now on, all matters in this factory must be entrusted to brothers."
Already."
Liu San agreed and started talking about the opening of a branch of Runshitang. After Li Mei became the deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce and the director of the cooperative, she immediately became very interested in Chinese patent medicine, a highly profitable flagship product, specializing in health and hygiene.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has held several coordination meetings to discuss the issue of expanding drug sales. The Foreign Intelligence Service also hopes to add new foreign bases.
Pharmacies are no more expensive than luxuries. They are things that everyone needs and will not attract attention wherever they are opened. Runshitang became a suitable target.
Yang Shixiang didn't know the reason, but he was also a very ambitious person. He thought about it secretly, but shook his head repeatedly: "It's better not to open the semicolon for the time being."
He went on to explain the whole story: "Opening a semicolon involves employing people. The only person I can trust and have the ability to do is Liu Benshan, and the others are not capable of being a shopkeeper. Besides, the Runshitang brand is not well-known in Guangdong."
No, the pharmacy should be a time-honored brand, and the older the patient is, the more trustworthy the doctor will be.”
"I have an idea," Liu San said, "What can Runshitang rely on to get back on its feet?"
"Of course they are your two prescriptions, dear brother."
"That's right, this is called Yi Trick, which can be eaten all over the world. If we sell herbal medicines in decoction pieces, the name of the brand must be old and well established. But as long as we have a few special pills and powders, we don't have to worry about the sales not coming to our doorstep or the decoction pieces not being sold."
Yang Shixiang was startled, how could he call a drug store if he didn't sell decoction pieces? He was a merchant after all, and he understood after a little thought: If he didn't sell decoction pieces and only sold patent medicines, the patent medicines would be shipped directly from Lingao, and there would be no need to store a large amount in the store.
Crude medicine does not need to hire many pharmacists to concoct the medicine, nor does it need a large house for storage and processing. It only needs a cabinet room and a few clerks to sell the medicine in the cabinet. The shopkeeper only needs to be experienced and reliable.
By using it, you can save a lot of costs.
This is a wonderful idea. Yang Shixiang thought about it and shook his head: "It's a pity that there are not many patent medicines to sell."
"Having a pharmaceutical factory, why are you afraid that there will be no medicine?" Liu San was confident. In fact, Liu San and Li Mei noticed that it was a chain drugstore similar to Watsons.
The two discussed how to open this pharmacy, the sources of prescriptions for patent medicines, etc. After the discussion was settled, Yang Shixiang asked when the Australians would prepare to "divide women."
"To tell you the truth, my eldest brother has quite a few secret recipes for nourishing yin and strengthening yang," Yang Shixiang said. "Master Wang has agreed to use them!" As he said that, he stood up, opened a cabinet behind him, and took out some jars and jars from it.
Come.
"This is medicinal wine, this is nourishing ointment," Yang Shixiang pointed to several jars on the table, "They are all made according to family recipes." He pointed to one of the jars, "This is what Master Wang eats.
, very effective.”
"He is a middle-aged widower. Of course he will use this when he takes a concubine." Liu San smiled and said, "It's okay not to do this business as much as you can." The problem for these 500 people now is that they have no place to vent, not to vent.
Overdoing it requires nourishment. Besides, almost all time travelers are young and strong, so eating this will probably only make you angry.
"Brother is willing to give all these nourishing medicines a try," Yang Shixiang said.
Liu Sanyi was startled. This gift is not light. Although there are many gimmicks in the nourishing ointment, real and precious medicinal materials must be used. And the nourishing ointment is not just a portion, but at least one or two.
Yes, it’s a lot of expense.
"I can't do it." Liu San refused without hesitation. The medicine is three parts poisonous, and there are many black Chinese medicines in Chuanzhong. If there is any adverse reaction, it will become a handle for attack, affecting him and Runshitang.
cooperative relationship between.
But he couldn't say this directly. He thought for a while and said: "Brother's wish has been accepted by me, but most of our people are young and strong, so it would be too early to eat this."
"My dear brother, don't worry," Yang Shixiang said, "There is absolutely no tiger or wolf medicine in it, it's just a warming tonic."
"No, no," Liu San refused firmly. Seeing his sworn brother's sincere attitude, he had to remind him, "Brother, nourishing ointment is also medicine. Since it is medicine, it is not an ordinary food..."
Yang Shixiang was a smart man and immediately understood what he meant. Brother Xindao was really thoughtful! He nodded immediately.
"If someone needs it, I will naturally let him buy it." Liu San said, "This is more appropriate."
"Brother is still thoughtful."
The dinner lasted until late at night, and the two discussed many things to do. By the end, Liu San was already half drunk and her face was red. Yang Shixiang asked the maid to bring sour bamboo shoots and leek sprout soup, and the soup was dripping again.
Twenty duck meat wontons made him sober and full. Liu San felt very good after eating. He felt that living in his sworn brother's house was much better than living in the dormitory.
Seeing that he was already half drunk, Yang Shixiang asked the maid to help him take a rest in the inner room. Liu San was still a little sober, so he first took off his holster and put it on the inner bed, then lay down and let the maid take over for him.
He took off his clothes and immediately fell asleep.
I slept until midnight, and suddenly I felt unbearably hot and stuffy in my heart. I was sweating profusely, and even my shirt collar was wet. My mouth and tongue were extremely dry.
Liu San stretched out his tongue and licked his dry lips, opened his eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and felt that his mouth was dry and tight. The room was very bright, and the moonlight projected in from the paper window, giving the room a hazy feeling.
There was a hazy halo. For a moment, he almost forgot where he was. It took him a moment to remember that he was in the courtyard of Yang Shixiang's outer study.
He quickly touched his pistol and felt relieved that he had all the ammunition. From now on, it would be better to leave the pistol in the dormitory. There are infantry companies, police and special commissioners in the county. It is no different from the Green Zone. They carry guns.
Walking around is really causing trouble for yourself.
I was so thirsty that I got up and prepared to pour a glass of water. There was a tea set on the table in front of the window. I got out of bed and walked to the table under the moonlight. The moonlight outside the window was so bright that I could barely read under the window.
However, although there were tea sets, there was no tea. The teapots and teacups were all empty, and the tentacles were cold. Liu San sat back on the edge of the bed with some disappointment. Suddenly he remembered that there was no such thing as a thermos in the Ming Dynasty. To drink tea, you had to boil water and brew it.
A sophisticated family just has water boiling in the tea room at all times.
It was just that he was thirsty after being drunk and urgently needed water. Liu San didn't know if there was anyone else in the yard, so he was helpless for a moment. Suddenly he heard the door curtain ring, and the candlelight in the room flickered - a woman walked away holding a candlestick.
Come in.
"Master, why don't you ask your slave to pour tea?"
She spoke in Cantonese vernacular, a dialect that Liu San could understand. Knowing that she was probably a maid or something like that, she immediately said: "It doesn't matter."
"If you don't call me slave, won't slave be useless?" The woman's voice was clear and crisp, and she put the candlestick on the table. Liu San looked at it carefully and saw the person who was about twenty-seven or eighty years old, wearing green clothes.
Wearing a cloth skirt and jacket, wearing a vest, and combing her hair, she has a pretty face and exudes the charm of a mature woman.
Liu San was secretly surprised that a woman in her twenties and seventies was still wearing a girl's hairstyle. The charm revealed in every move she made was something that a young virgin could not expect.
Moreover, he did not know this person: there were not many servants in Yang Shixiang's family, and he had seen almost all of them, but he could not remember such a woman.
He asked warily: "Where did the girl come from?"
"I recently joined this house," the woman said generously, "My name is Xuanchun, and I came from Zhangzhou."
"You are from Fujian, how come you speak Cantonese vernacular?"
"My servant is from Guangdong, and my previous master's family was from Zhangzhou." As she spoke, she brought in a small copper basket from the outhouse, took a teapot and tea cup and made tea there.
"No need to make tea. I'm just thirsty. I'll be fine if I have some warm water."
Xuanchun didn't answer. After working for a while, she brought a tea cup over and said, "Third Master, let's have some tea."
"Third master?" Liu San was surprised, and suddenly thought that he was addressing himself. He was Yang Shixiang's sworn brother, and even his wife had to call him "uncle". Of course, this maid had to call him master.
The outside of the tea cup is warm, neither ice nor hot. When you drink it, you can only feel the fragrance of tea, which is refreshing and sweet. Liu San raises his hand to wipe the tea from the corner of his mouth. Xuanchun hands him a handkerchief and asks him to wipe his mouth.
He thought to himself: "No wonder the people stationed abroad are so happy to be there. This kind of enjoyment is much better than living in a dormitory and eating in a public cafeteria."
Xuanchun put away the tea set and dangling baskets and touched his bedding. Liu San fell asleep after drinking, and the bedding was stained with sweat and wine. She turned around and left, and then came in with the bedding in her arms and put the bedding on the bed for him.
The bedding was put away and laid out again.
"This is a very clean bedding that has been freshly washed and dried," Xuanchun said.
"No, no need." Liu San was a little embarrassed. This was too extravagant. The bedding in the study was originally clean. He didn't vomit due to alcohol. There were just some wine stains on it and he was sweating profusely.
Xuanchun knelt on the edge of the bed to make the bed for him, adding sheets to the mattress and tucking it in, which was very troublesome.
