Chapter 173: The ointment prescription (for book friend Hua Xu Can Mengshang
Mrs. Cheng Er: ...We have invited people to come to the house, but it’s not like we have cured the person, and if we don’t pay him, why should we beat him out?
It's only ten taels or five taels of silver. No one is short of that little money. It's just for carriage fare. Isn't this a lot?
Man Bao, who had earned a penny from a young age, and Mrs. Cheng Er, who had lived in fine clothes since childhood, looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and they couldn't understand each other.
Mrs. Cheng Er coughed lightly, skipped the topic, and said with a smile: "Little doctor Zhou, I do one set every day as you asked. Although I feel a little sore, I feel it, and my body seems a little lighter. Then
Is it useful for someone who has been very fat after giving birth for a long time?"
Man Bao said: "Everyone's situation is different. Since it has been a long time since she gave birth, she may still be obese because of the birth. I have to take a look, but this is not suitable for her. There is always a treatment method suitable for her."
Mrs. Cheng Er nodded slightly and stopped discussing this topic.
Man Bao smiled and was not in a hurry.
Mr. Zhuang said that she was young after all. Although she was famous, everyone was very cautious about seeing a doctor, so everyone was waiting.
Once it was confirmed that she was a worthy person with a high reputation, naturally many people came to invite her.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da also thinks so, and as a doctor, he knows Man Bao's background.
She may not be as powerful as the rumors say now, but she is not yet thirteen years old, and her talent is so high that she will have unlimited possibilities in the future.
The most important thing is that she has a natural advantage in the inner courtyard of the high-rise house.
She is a woman. How many female patients, even if they have wealth and power, do not like to call a doctor when they are sick. They would rather ask Taoist nuns, nuns and women to ask questions.
He knew that this was just the beginning. Once Manbao cured Mrs. Cheng's second wife, even if it was just a minor illness, her reputation would be known and many patients would come to her in the future.
The hostess of a family is used to seeing doctors from their Jishi Hall for medical treatment. In the future, if the male host gets sick, or someone else in the family gets sick, the doctor from their Jishi Hall will be called first.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da thought so and happily made the ointment recipe that Man Bao gave him.
He smelled it and thought it was quite fragrant. He looked at the prescription and pondered it, but he only saw that it had the effect of whitening skin, and he couldn't tell much about it.
He was a little curious. When Man Bao came to the drug store again, he gave her the medicine jar and the bill, and asked, "Where is this ointment used?"
"On the belly." This was one of several prescriptions that Teacher Mo found for her to remove stretch marks. After a comprehensive look, she found that the price of this prescription was moderate, and the medicinal materials used were not uncommon and could be found.
It is very troublesome to deal with.
Man Bao also smelled it and found it quite fragrant. The color was a little red, but it was the color of medicinal materials, so it was not unusual.
Man Bao wiped it on the back of his hand and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, Mr. Shopkeeper, how much is the labor cost?"
When the big shopkeeper saw her wiping it on herself, he said: "It doesn't count your labor costs, just pay for the materials. No, your belly is black?"
Man Bao: "...This is not for me, but for Madam Cheng Er. She had a mark on her belly after giving birth. She used her own homemade honey. I thought it was average, so I prescribed this prescription."
son."
She said cheerfully: "Doctor Ji told me before coming here that prescriptions such as ointments and pills should not be given to anyone casually, so I didn't prescribe her any prescriptions."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da: ...If you don’t feel comfortable giving it to her, don’t give it to me either!
You gave it to me, should I take advantage of it or not?
Shopkeeper Zheng Da was only troubled for a moment, then coughed lightly and asked: "Is this ointment durable?"
Man Bao looked at the jar, considered it, and said, "Let it last for a month."
“Approximately how many cans will it take to remove?”
Man Bao shook his head, "It's hard to say, I haven't tried it."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da thought for a while, and then said: "Then let's tentatively decide on five taels of silver per jar? We will see the effect of Mrs. Cheng's use."
Man Bao opened his mouth and said, "Big shopkeeper, this is not good, the total cost of these medicinal materials is more than 800 yuan."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da coughed slightly and said: "It takes a lot of effort to process the medicinal materials. Adding the cost of brewing, Lin Lin finally made it more than one or two."
"Then it's okay if you make more than half. How come you still make more than four times?"
"Ahem, selling medicines and purchasing medicinal materials also require labor. This shop also requires rent. Isn't this all money?" Shopkeeper Zheng Da softly comforted: "You can just go and tell Mrs. Cheng,
She can rest assured at this price, it is much cheaper than the fragrant honey she used."
"She makes the fragrant honey at home, so she doesn't spend any money."
"Nonsense, this kind of flowering takes no effort and money, doesn't it? There's also honey added, by the way, the one we use is fine wild honey, it's very expensive..."
Man Bao looked at Shopkeeper Zheng's mouth and said to himself: That's not what you said to me just now...
But she slowly came to think of it, this was business.
But this business actually makes nearly five times the money. Isn’t this too deceptive?
Shopkeeper Zheng Da saw her frowning in thought and knew that she was too naive. He was afraid that she would leak the recipe in the future, so he quickly said: "Man Bao, don't think our price is high. In fact, people like Mrs. Cheng Er and others are
I won’t dislike the high-priced ones, but if the price is low, they won’t dare to use it.”
"But I don't just sell to them, I also want to sell to many people."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Who in the world would go out of their way to remove those traces?"
"Everyone has a love for beauty, who says they can't?" Man Bao said: "Every spring, when the flowers bloom, my second sister-in-law goes to work in the fields, and she even pinches wild flowers and wears them on her head. As long as they buy
If you can afford it, you will buy it.”
Shopkeeper Zheng Da held out a finger and said: "Even if I sell it at a low price and only earn some hard-earned money, if I sell it for one tael of silver, how many people do you think will come to buy it? One tael of silver is just an errand boy in a restaurant outside."
Man, you only have a little over 20 taels of silver a month. Who is willing to spend a tael a month to buy a jar of this ointment?"
Man Bao rummaged through the medicine box, pulled out a piece of paper, and wrote a prescription directly for him, "Here, this one is cheap and not as effective as this one, but it is of some use."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da took the prescription and opened it. He was speechless for a while. He folded it and put it in his sleeve, and said to Man Bao: "If you take it out at a reasonable price, it will cost 500 yuan a jar."
"Okay, then this one is only 500 Wen. You can sell this one a little more expensively, maybe 50 Liang."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da didn't expect her to be so straightforward. He always felt that something was wrong, but now was obviously not the time to think about this.
He coughed lightly and asked, "Are you going to give this ointment recipe to other shops in the future?"
Manbao shook his head. She was not familiar with other shops, so why should she give it to them?
