Faced with such a complicated situation, Ye Dimin was confused. It was obviously a fake medicine, but it could cure diseases. Many patients who took the medicine were cured, as evidenced by the piles of banners. If fake medicines were not prescribed, the patients'
His illness worsened, and in severe cases, he died of the plague. There was no solution to this problem, so he could only ask the Bodhisattva. "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, my disciple encountered a problem. It is clear that the medicine is not suitable for the patient, but it can cure the disease. Prescribing fake medicine and medical ethics
If it doesn’t match, the patient’s illness will be more serious if we don’t prescribe it. Please give me clear instructions.”
After saying that, he shook the bucket of lottery tickets loudly. After a while, a lottery ticket fell out with a bang, indicating that he had won the lottery. Before asking for the lottery, Ye Dimin secretly prayed in his heart, if the lottery was successful, he would sell the medicine.
, I won’t sell it if I place a lottery, and now I win the lottery, which means there is no result. This is a big problem that even a Bodhisattva cannot solve. I am just an ordinary person, and I can only follow my own ideas. Sell, continue to sell.
, put out a notice stating that this medicine is ineffective in curing the plague, caveat emptor. A good business can make a lot of money and give the family a better life. You can also use the money to build bridges and pave roads and do good deeds. I figured this out.
Finally, he no longer stopped the clerk from selling medicine without prescription.
A month later, the epidemic passed. The couple finally breathed a sigh of relief and took stock of their income and expenditure. They found that the income from the treatment of carbuncle was more than 400 taels of silver. Most of this money was resold by patients. The income from plague treatment
It is 2,343 taels of silver, and the total expenses are more than 600 taels of silver. In other words, treating people with the prescriptions passed down by the lame immortal cannot support the medicine hall and the medicine shop. What can really support the medicine hall and the medicine shop?
Or is it the fame effect brought about by the medicine given by the Immortal Monkey. But this medicine is actually ineffective.
"Asking for Signs"
If you feel uneasy, ask Guanyin,
Give spiritual lots and end doubts.
Medicine does not treat the symptoms but treats the disease,
There is nothing more wonderful than this in the world.
Winning the lottery when the bucket rings,
It is equally difficult to decide between gods and Buddhas.
The confusion in my heart can only be solved by my heart,
It is better to seek help from gods and Buddhas than to seek help from yourself.
The epidemic has passed, and Xianju is such a big place with limited foot traffic. The income of medicine halls and drug stores has plummeted. After four months, the money they originally made has been lost again. The family can live on its laurels for a few years.
But the clerk's salary still needs to be paid, and the rent of the drug store still needs to be paid. How should we open this drug hall and drug store? There are only so many carbuncle patients, and most of them are poor. During the epidemic, I have declared that this medicine can treat the epidemic.
It doesn’t work, people must buy it, and no one will want it if they continue to sell fake medicines after the epidemic is over. Moreover, Ms. Zhou was born in a wealthy family, and it is difficult for people who are used to a good life to go back to live a hard life.
"What should we do?" The guests also became anxious for the couple: "The loss of many secret recipes of traditional Chinese medicine has a lot to do with the fact that too few people are sick and the doctors cannot support themselves. Doctors are like parents, but they only have good intentions.
If you can’t solve the problem of eating and survival, you must first be able to fill your stomach.”
Jin Huabin laughed and said: "Yes, let's fill up our stomach first and then talk about it. What kind of main dish will we have this time?"
"A full stomach comes first, let me have a hard dish." The guest pointed to the signature dish on the menu: "This is the one, Braised Da Shizi."
"Unlocking the Link, Braised Elbow"
On New Year's Day, the fat pigs are screaming miserably, but the people and horses are rejoicing. Buy the meat, an elbow, and stew it over low heat until the meat is rotten, moist and fragrant.
Cinnamon bark and star anise have a small aftertaste, so cook it with it. Add soy sauce and old wine to enhance the color and flavor, making you salivate after eating.
When the food arrived, it was shiny and looked very appetizing. As he was eating, Jin Huabin continued the story: "At this time, shopkeeper Zhou came in and said to him: "Xian son-in-law, my father has an idea and wants to share it with you.
Let’s discuss it, is it feasible?”
Seeing that it was his father-in-law, Ye Dimin blushed and said, "My son-in-law is ashamed. I hope my father-in-law can give me some advice."
"You see, our monkey medicine is very famous and is featured in the play. Among the medicines they make, there are also nourishing medicines such as Tiepi Fengdou. These medicines have mild properties and are good for people to take. Why not choose some of these medicines?
, add auxiliary drugs to make pills? There are many rich people in the world, and they are willing to pay high prices for longevity and health. This is harmless to people and does not violate medical ethics."
After hearing this, Ye Dimin felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it. Although it was harmless, it was not necessarily beneficial. After discussing it with his wife, she said: "Daddy's proposal is very good. The money you make is the money of the rich.
In the end, we can use more money to do good things, such as providing rice porridge for disaster relief, building bridges and paving roads, etc."
It made sense when I heard it, but it didn't make sense when I thought about it. Could it be that rich people's money can be defrauded? After thinking about it again, he nodded and agreed. The only place with a collection of books nearby was Tongjiang Academy. Two scholars
Seeing him come in, I heard that he was borrowing medical books to make pills, and then I thought of the drama. At that time, it brought them a lot of reputation, and maybe it could be passed down to future generations. I hurriedly agreed to help borrow the book and promote it for free.
In a few days, the first batch of pills were produced, and the scholar's propaganda and play were also performed in Chunhuayuan. The play said that the reason why the First Emperor did not find the elixir of life was because he was cruel to the people and God refused to give it, so
, although the prescription was obtained, there was always one missing ingredient. Although the people of Yedi had a low status, they were dedicated to good deeds and received God's blessing. The immortal transformed himself into a lame man and passed on his magical recipe. Eating it can prolong life, and eating it can lead to longevity.
The last time the plague was cured in the whole city with the herbs sent by the monkey, it was not that long ago, and the people still remembered it deeply. After being promoted by the play, they naturally believed it.
"Pills to Extend Life"
In all affairs of the world, virtue comes first.
If you rely on its power, you will definitely miss it.
In the past, the First Emperor sought immortality,
Although the fairy prescription lacks one flavor.
Today the local people have a strange encounter,
One pill increases longevity.
Those who eat it will be strong and healthy,
Those who take it more will live longer.
The drama spread from Chunhuayuan to the outside world. Of course, shopkeeper Zhou was behind it. He knew that as long as wealthy businessmen had a dubious attitude towards this and bought it a few times and tried it, the reputation of the tonic would be established.
, it is more or less beneficial to the body. If you believe it, it will be effective. If you don’t believe it, it will be ineffective. The medicine the monkey made is good medicine, and there are enough legendary stories. They continue to strengthen this propaganda, and unknowingly, they
You will gradually believe it.
Shopkeeper Zhou won the appreciation of the county magistrate for suppressing the plague. Once, when he was performing a play at Tongjiang Academy, he specially invited the county magistrate to watch it. The script of the play came from the academy, and he used all his skills when given the opportunity. The county magistrate watched.
After the play, Shopkeeper Zhou presented the pills again. Partly as a courtesy and partly as a genuine belief, the county magistrate took them with a smile and wrote a poem about them. Gradually, this opera became a must-do in every village's god-rewarding opera.
one.
The county magistrates all took it and wrote poems about it. The effect of this medicine was absolutely amazing. After hearing about it, the rich people in the county came to order one after another. Two boxes of this one and one box of that one came in an endless stream, and business was booming.
At this time, a strange patient came to the medicine hall.
