I just didn't expect that when I first came to the dock, I would meet Lin Shirong, who has great influence here. Naturally, such a great resource must be put to good use.
The effect is also quite obvious...
I earned more than 500 copper coins in half a morning. I'm afraid I could earn about one tael of silver in a day, and the net profit would be about 700 copper coins.
This level of income is quite astonishing, and it would cause trouble if word spread about it.
As for the actual cost of the decoction, a pot of medicinal decoction only costs eleven or two copper coins.
It’s really no joke!
The reason why the cost of the decoction is so low is because the prescription comes from the basic medical books of previous lives.
Just kidding, martial arts were prosperous in the world in the previous life, and history could last tens of thousands of years.
It is said that there is no separation between medicine and martial arts, and medicine is also quite advanced.
The reason why decoctions and prescriptions are openly listed in basic medical books is because they are widely used.
It is mainly used for ordinary workers, allowing them to have more energy and physical strength to participate in labor in all walks of life.
In the world of martial arts, martial artists who have just started practicing are already considered members of the ruling class, and naturally cannot participate in basic labor.
In order to improve the labor efficiency of ordinary laborers, decoctions that can relieve mental and physical fatigue in a short time were naturally devised.
It just so happened that Wu Dong had studied hard in his previous life and had solid basic medical skills, so he was naturally very familiar with this type of decoction.
After traveling through time, he also tried configuring it when he was in the ruined temple, and it was successfully configured easily.
Such decoctions, which were promoted on a large scale in previous lives and could even be said to be on the street, are naturally made from the most common medicinal materials.
Looking at the current world, it is similar. This is the main reason why Wu Dong considered it as his first livelihood.
Because the targets are coolies and hard-working small traders, at least it will not attract the attention of big forces for a long time.
Besides, he would not be stupid enough to reveal to the public that what he was selling was a decoction, but a specially brewed soup.
Anyway, here in Guangdong Province, there has been a tradition of making soup for a long time. He came up with a special cheap soup that is not too eye-catching.
The most important thing is that the function of medicinal decoction is really just to get rid of physical and mental fatigue.
Once the equivalent effect is gone, it is still the same as it should be. It has no nourishing or nourishing effect on the body, so it will naturally not attract the attention of some Xinglin colleagues.
According to Wu Dong's estimation, as long as he can successfully trade medicinal soups at the dock, he will be able to accumulate enough funds in less than half a year, and it will be much easier to start other businesses.
There was no need for him to explain these to his younger brothers, and Yan Zhendong would not ask.
As long as you know that this kind of business is really effective and you can make a lot of money, you don't have to worry about your future life.
The little beggar and Yan Zhendong, who have just come out of poverty, do not have many requirements for the quality of life. They just need to be able to maintain their current status.
As for the convenient charcoal stove used in the medicinal soup business, it had been commissioned as early as the ruined temple period, and it does not look out of place at all when it is taken out.
As for the cooking pot specially used for making soup, you can buy it here in Foshan, so you don’t need to worry too much.
"We'd better rent a stable place to live. It's a waste to stay in inns all the time!"
After making real money, Wu Dong naturally had more say. After the boys had packed up all the coins, he said: "In the future, we must purchase various herbs in large quantities to make decoctions. I'm afraid the inn will not allow us to do this.
!”
The little beggars and Yan Zhendong nodded in unison. If they were the innkeepers, they would not allow the guests to make the entire inn smell of medicine. What would other guests think?
Of course, even if Wu Dong didn't mention it, they would still make this suggestion.
Just kidding, making decoctions is their livelihood at this time. What if an outsider figures out the formula through the purchased medicinal materials?
…
On the other side, Lin Shirong, who had had lunch, came to Baozhilin as usual.
After meeting Master Huang Feihong, he briefly recounted what happened that morning in a joking tone.
"Oh, you mean that young man who is quite popular with Mr. Liu went to the pier to sell soup this morning?"
Huang Feihong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said with a smile: "This guy really has a character. Mr. Liu didn't agree to the two invitations back then!"
"Who says it isn't!"
While Lin Shirong was moving his body to prepare for exercise, he said with a smile: "This kid really jumps at the opportunity when he sees it, and he even asked me to borrow a stall directly!"
After hearing this, Huang Feihong couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head. He didn't expect that the arrogant young man that day had such a cunning side.
"So how's his business going?"
"Pretty good!"
Speaking of this, Lin Shirong became interested and said directly: "Especially his soup, it can actually relieve mental and physical fatigue. I drank a bowl and the effect was obvious!"
"Oh, then the soup he sells must be very expensive, right?"
Huang Feihong is not only a master of boxing, but also has good medical skills. He is a well-known Xinglin master in Foshan.
He is also a leader in treating bruises and injuries, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
Naturally, he also has prescriptions for removing physical and mental fatigue, but the required medicinal materials are not cheap.
In his opinion, Wu Dong made a similar soup and it had obvious effects, so the price would definitely not be too bad.
"It's very low, ranging from three to ten copper coins!"
Unfortunately, Lin Shirong gave an unexpected answer.
"impossible!"
"I have experienced this personally, and the price is like this. Could it be that the master still can't trust me?"
"That……"
Now it was Huang Feihong's turn to be confused. He simply did not believe that such a good thing would happen. It was beyond his common sense.
At the same time, my heart suddenly moved, and I thought of a direction that made my heart tremble.
If the soup with obvious effects that Lin Shirong said can be provided to the army officers in large quantities, it will greatly improve the army's combat effectiveness.
At this time, as the chief instructor of the Black Flag Army, he naturally wanted to improve the strength of the Black Flag Army soldiers.
Of course, this matter is not something he can decide easily, and it requires Liu Yongfu's approval.
But before that, it must be confirmed that the soup brewed by Wu Dong really has obvious effects, otherwise it would be inappropriate to report it rashly.
"Ah Rong, if Wu Dong is still doing soup business at the dock tomorrow, you should observe carefully and see the reaction of the people who drink it!"
Huang Feihong's face was serious and he solemnly said: "This matter is very important!"
Hearing this, Lin Shirong's expression became solemn and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, master, I will continue to let Brother Wu do business at my stall. Nothing can be hidden from my eyes!"
"That's good!"
Huang Feihong chuckled and said: "Don't show any trace, I will go there in person in a few days!"
