Chapter 43 Shunfu Pharmacy
Ran Li's injury was not very serious, and he took a medicine in the morning, and then applied some medicine mud to the injury. By the time the two returned to the Shunfu pharmacy opened by Yue Zhang's family in the afternoon, the injuries were almost healed.
When Yue Yu opened the linen cloth that was temporarily used for bandaging for Ran Li, he couldn't help but sigh in amazement. On the one hand, he was surprised by the amazing recovery power of this monster in front of him, and on the other hand, he was impressed by the wound medicine of this century, which was almost catching up with the military minor injury spray of his time. And what is even more commendable is that the side effects of this drug are so small that they can be ignored, which is far from being comparable to the world in his previous life.
Due to the reason of going out of the city to purchase medicines, Yue Zhang did not stay in the store. There was only one shopkeeper and a few guys in the lobby, and there was also a supernumerary Yue Bingqian, a twelve-year-old villain, sitting behind the counter with a serious face. Seeing Yue Yu's admiration in his stomach, he laughed secretly,
Yue Bingqian ignored him, and when she saw the two of them coming in, she turned her eyes away, looking extremely delicate. Yue Yu shrugged his shoulders indifferently and went straight to the back hall with Ran Li. It's not that he doesn't want to be close to this little girl, but seeing the other party's rejection of people thousands of miles away, he doesn't want to come over and make himself bored.
And just when the curtain of the back hall was opened, Yue Yu's eyes were out of the corner of his eyes, but he saw Yue Bingqian's puffed up Huo Ran standing up, with a look of wanting to speak and stopping with his face facing this side. The smile in Yue Yu's heart was even stronger, but he walked into the curtain without stopping.
Their family's Shunfu pharmacy is also not far from the south city gate. Due to the high cost of the land, both the storefront and the back hall are far smaller than the Yue family's pharmacy in the clan. However, it may be because of the small scale of the business, coupled with Yue Zhang's talent in management, it seems that it is much more orderly than the messy situation in the clan pharmacy.
The first entry is the medicine storehouse, which is not as exaggerated as the thousands of medicine cabinets and tens of thousands of drawers in the big medicine warehouse where Yue Yu stayed half a year ago, but in total, there are five or six thousand. Yue Yu would always take a few days out of his month to come here to identify the medicine. But he didn't stop this day, but went straight to the back door and arrived at a patio in the backyard. Here, three large medicine stoves are standing here.
As soon as they saw the two of them coming, the dozens of apprentices who were busy here all stopped what they were doing and bowed over here.
"Young Master Yu, our side is almost ready, just wait for you to open the furnace when you come!"
The one who spoke was about seventy years old, with white hair and white beard, and it was the old pharmacist that Yue Zhang's family had invited back last time. His name is Zhuang Song, although he is old, his voice is like a bell, and his steps are even more vigorous, like his prime.
Yue Yu nodded and motioned for the rest of the apprentices to continue their work. Then he frowned and turned around and looked to the other side of the patio. As early as when he entered the pharmacy, he could already faintly hear the sound of tapping over there. At this time, I saw a large amount of dust in the sky above it.
Zhuang Song observed his words and looks, and knew Yue Yu's meaning, and immediately explained with a smile beside him: "So that Young Master Yu knows that a few days ago, the master mother had bought the neighboring courtyards in the back, a total of thirty-two tiled houses, all of which were ready to be used as medicinal places. Honestly, we do have a little less of this area. ”
Yue Yu's eyebrows suddenly raised slightly, it seems that the incident that Yue Zhang's family was doing a few days ago may have already happened. Half a year ago, he was wondering why Yue Yunjie suddenly changed his attitude. It wasn't until I returned that night that I asked for advice that I understood. The ambition of his mother was really amazing, Yue Yu only thought about buying medicine in Yue's city, but Yue Zhang's family planned to build a sales network in the entire Northern Malaysia Plains. And at that time, through the relationship between the mother family, some of the wound medicine produced was transported to Licheng for sale by Zhang's pharmacy over there. And some small cities around are also being negotiated.
In fact, after deducting labor, costs and freight, the profit is actually not much. But once this network is completed, it makes a lot of sense. According to Yue Yu's own estimates, in the eyes of the patriarch, I am afraid that what is more important is not the low-level martial artists hired by their family, but the impact on the entire regional pharmaceutical industry after Yue Zhang's family has set up the sales network.
Yue Yu came to the pharmacy this time, in fact, he was going to teach the prescription of the Qi Replenishing Pill that had been completed to the pharmacists and apprentices here. However, even if it is added to the manufacture of Qi Replenishing Pills, there is no need to expand. The only explanation is that Yue Zhang's family has reached an agreement with those medicine companies in the surrounding cities.
"But what about the ashes?" Ran Li looked at the smoke and dust in the sky. He has been with this Yue Yu for almost a year, and he knows the pharmaceutical process well. I know that the most taboo thing to avoid when boiling medicine is to mix it with dust and other debris.
Zhuang Song heard the words and gave another salute: "Please rest assured, before the start of work today, the master mother has asked someone to see the weather, today is the north wind, and the ash over there can't blow here." ”
Yue Yu was relieved when he heard this, although he looked a little worried. However, he also knew that although this Zhuang Yu did not have much talent in medicine, he could not be more upright and strict, if there was really a problem. The first one who would jump out to stop Yue Zhang's construction was this Lao Zhuang.
At that moment, Yue Yu didn't pay attention to it anymore, and walked straight into the empty side room on one side. There were dozens of barrels of thick medicinal juice that had been boiled early, and what Yue Yu had to do was to add them to several large medicine barrels in the center according to the proportions. Then the rest is poured into the gutter, and some of them are even poured out in whole buckets.
In this era, there is no sense of patents, and if some secret recipes are not imitated, the only way to do so is to use this stupid method. Originally, this was his mother's job, but Yue Zhang's family was too busy these days, and he hadn't learned the concoction of qi replenishing pills yet, so Yue Yu had to go into battle in person for the time being.
When all this was done, the barrels were carried out in separate categories, but they were scattered and kept in the ice cellar as a 'mother medicine'. In terms of quantity, they make up only a small part of the drug, but they are the key to making a drug. Once dispensed, it can be used for about five days.
And when Yue Yu walked out of this side room again, those apprentices had already poured a part of the mother medicine into a large medicine furnace that was already filled with various kinds of medicinal juices, and then began to stir vigorously. Yue Yu walked over and put his hand on the medicine stove, inspected the ingredients in these medicinal juices, and then nodded secretly, this Zhuang Song is worthy of being the person personally invited by Yue Zhang's family, and he is really dutiful. The proportion of this drug is not bad at all, but it also exceeds the minimum standard in his heart.
Next was the last three processes before the medicine was completed, but when the lid of the medicine furnace was just closed, Yue Yu's ears suddenly moved slightly, and he heard a quarrel in front of him. He looked at Ran Li again, only to see that the latter was also stunned. The two of them reacted instantly, and they both hurried towards the direction of the storefront, and just halfway through, they saw the shopkeeper calling the names of the two of them anxiously and running towards the backyard.
Seeing this, Yue Yu first shook his head secretly, this shopkeeper's ability is good, but he doesn't have that kind of atmosphere that is shocked. However, in this small city, it seems to be very good, and I am afraid that I can't find it if the requirements are too high. And then, Yue Yu laughed even more.
"You say someone is making trouble in our shop? hehe, that's really unusual—"
Yue Yu was indeed surprised, how could he say that he was also the eldest descendant of the Yue family. In the entire city, except for those in the clan who hold great power, he is the only one who oppresses people with power. Even those martial artists, as long as they are not members of the Yue clan, they all have to be people with their tails between their legs in this city, and who dares to come to him for trouble?
What's more, since the Yue Zhang clan's business has grown, the number of martial artist-level powerhouses in the pharmacy has increased to eight. If ordinary people want to go wild, they have to weigh their own weight.
"Young Master Yu, this time it's really a bit prickly!"
Seeing that Yue Yu was still relaxed, the shopkeeper was even more anxious. "There are at least three martial artists who make trouble this time, and there are also young city lords of Light Cloud City-"
When he heard the previous sentence, Yue Yu was still unmoved. However, when he heard the word Danyun City, Yue Yu's face finally became solemn.
