Seeing Sun Fu coaxing him like a child, Zhu Qing couldn't help laughing.
But she is indeed a child now, but her mind is already that of an adult. But she still has to try her best to hide this.
"Qingya, why are you laughing? Do you think your father is praising Haikou? Your father is right! As long as you study hard, you will definitely become a good doctor." Wang said looking at Zhuqing.
Zhuqing nodded: "Well, I think so too!"
As for what she will do when she comes next year, Zhuqing thinks it’s better to act with camera then!
Zhushan had been silent until now, but now he spoke: "I will finish reading the Analects of Confucius with Cousin Zhuang next year."
This can be done. Zhuqing, Wang and Sun Fucheng agreed.
Speaking of the Analects of Confucius, Zhuqing remembered that she had memorized a few passages in modern times. But she didn’t know if the translations and annotations of the Analects here were similar to those of her time.
If it's similar, she can discuss it with him in time when Zhushan learns it next year.
There are many good philosophies on life in the Analects of Confucius. Zhuqing has learned them and found them very helpful.
Because Zhushan was in poor health, he felt a lot about the warmth and coldness of the world, and he was a precocious child. After he learned the Analects, he should have more understanding. Zhuqing felt that she could guide him appropriately and secretly.
The weather in early winter and late autumn is already relatively cold.
Although a charcoal fire had been lit in the room, the chill still couldn't stop.
After the four people in Zhuqing's family finished chatting, they still couldn't help but feel the cold. At Wang's urging, they went to bed early and covered themselves with quilts.
This year the family has gained income, so except for the fact that the mattress on the bed is still covered with a thick layer of straw like most homes in the village, the two quilts on the bed have been replaced with cotton quilts made of this year's new cotton. And
, there was also a steaming hot brass bathtub soaked in the bed.
Therefore, Zhuqing didn't feel cold at all when she was under the quilt.
Of course, such equipment on this bed is considered a big deal for Wang.
Mrs. Wang, who has always lived frugally, was so generous to her son and daughter. On the bed between her and Sun Fucheng, one quilt was old and used, and the other was made from a worn-out quilt from the previous family, with new cotton added to it.
The brass Yubazi naturally does not exist.
In her own words, she said: "We adults are very angry and don't need Yuboshi."
But Zhuqing knew that her body was damaged when she gave birth to Zhushan, and her confinement period was not done well, so she was actually very afraid of the cold. Therefore, after making the soup every day, she would put the soup in the
In Wang's bed, let her bed warm up first.
When Zhushan saw his sister doing this, he would also learn from her and warm Mrs. Wang's bed first. Therefore, Mrs. Wang was very pleased with the thoughtfulness of her two children.
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. When I wake up in the morning, my mouth is full of white gas.
Climbing out of the quilt with the biting cold is really a test of willpower.
Zhuqing got up almost shivering, put on the heavy cotton clothes and trousers made by Wang herself, and then put on a pair of reed boots on her feet. The so-called reed boots are straw sandals made of straw and reed poles.
The shoes are stronger and more durable than ordinary cotton shoes. They are also said to have higher warmth retention. However, Zhu Qing secretly thought that they were completely different from the snow boots in his previous life. But they were better than nothing!
According to Wang, as of last year, the original owner's little girl was still wearing a pair of broken cotton shoes with open toes. So after one winter, all ten of her toes were covered in frostbite.
Of course, this is proven by the fact that Zhuqing's own toes started to itch when they got hot this year.
Zhuqing was secretly glad that it was summer when she traveled over. If she had traveled across in such a cold weather, she would not have enough food and clothing to freeze to death!
Now at least, thanks to my hard work over the past six months, I can finally live a life without worrying about food and clothing.
Because of the frostbite on her feet, Zhuqing began to think about how to make frostbite ointment.
Mr. Liang's pharmacy and Huichun Tang both sell frostbite ointment, but the prices are relatively expensive. Ordinary people are reluctant to buy it.
In people's words, what does chilblain have to do with it? It will grow every year anyway. When it hurts or itches, can't it be cured by just rubbing it? It will go away as soon as the weather gets hot.
That's true. But chilblains really affect people's comfort. Moreover, who wants to be in pain and cold if they can avoid pain and itchiness?
Zhuqing thought that he should be able to think of a way to make a cheap and affordable chilblain ointment.
Among the frostbite ointment prescriptions in drug stores, snake oil is commonly used, and some contain borneol, so the price is relatively expensive.
Zhu Qing thought that the easiest thing to do was to wipe her hands with ginger slices to prevent it in advance. But even such a simple operation made Wang feel like it was a waste.
Therefore, Zhuqing felt that he had to think of more affordable ways.
Of course, Zhuqing is definitely not the only one who suffers from frostbite in Cuizhu Village. Almost all men, women and children in the village have some frostbite to one degree or another.
If Zhuqing can make an easy-to-use and cheap chilblain cream, the market demand will definitely be huge.
Therefore, on the basis of diligently reading medical books and medicinal classics, she also tried to find a way to ask her husband, Dr. Mo.
Hearing Zhuqing ask about chilblain ointment, Doctor Mo glanced at the female disciple who was wearing half-worn cotton clothes and trousers, then looked at her carrot-like hands, and couldn't help but patted his forehead: "Oh!
, I was negligent! You girl, why didn’t you tell me earlier when you had chilblains? I have a plaster here that is specifically designed to treat chilblains. It will be effective with just one application! Come on, take two bottles back! I think you and your family should have some too.
Bar?"
Zhuqing declined his kindness: "Thank you Master! But I want to make chilblain ointment not for myself, but for people from poor families like me. In our situation, it is impossible for us to have the opportunity to receive the cream from you personally, Master."
The frostbite ointment you made. Master, even if I take your ointment back and give it away, it still won’t be enough."
Zhuqing then explained her idea to him in detail, and finally said: "Master, generally everyone is not willing to owe favors to others. I just want to make an affordable chilblain ointment so that even poor people can use it.
Of course, this way I can also earn more."
"Good, great good! Girl, your idea is very good! Indeed, if more people can use chilblain cream, it is indeed a good thing! I will definitely support this!" Mr. Mo was very happy with Zhu Qing's idea.
Agree.
Immediately, he analyzed the ingredients of the frostbite ointment he made with Zhuqing, and then based on Zhuqing's request for high quality and low price, he advised her on how to choose affordable medicines that could replace them with similar medicinal properties.
Zhuqing followed him and worked on it for more than half a month before she finally got the cheapest chilblain cream she could make. Of course, Zhuqing tried it, and it was not much worse than Mr. Mo's secret preparation.
.
This makes Zhuqing particularly happy.
After making the finished product, Zhuqing began to consider large-scale production. However, she considered that her time was limited and everyone in the family had their own things to do. It was no longer feasible to do it by herself like making peppermint oil.
It’s realistic.
So, after discussing with Mr. Mo, Zhuqing decided to hand over the production of chilblain ointment directly to the Liang Family Pharmacy.
Firstly, the Liang Family Pharmacy has the basis for making medicines, which makes it more convenient to make. Secondly, Mr. Liang’s character, Zhuqing also trusts him.
She believed that Mr. Liang would not cut corners or raise prices at will, so her original intention of seeking benefits for everyone would not fail.
When Zhuqing told Mr. Liang her plan and handed the formula of chilblain ointment directly to Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang simply didn't know what to say to the little girl in front of him.
"Miss Sun, how can I bear this? How can I bear this?" Mr. Liang was very moved by Zhuqing's trust in him.
"Mr. Liang, what you said is out of context. What is our relationship? My peppermint oil was selling so well before. Isn't it all your fault? You have sold most of my peppermint oil here.
!Now I still need to rely on you for this chilblain ointment!" Zhu Qing was not polite to him, and directly explained the reason why she chose him.
Mr. Liang didn't expect Zhuqing to be so direct, so he didn't say any more polite words. He waved to the shop's new apprentice Zhang Hancheng and said, "You heard what Miss Sun said! This time she took the initiative to come.
To cooperate with us, we must also cooperate well with her. This frostbite ointment will be the main medicine in our shop in winter!"
Hearing what Mr. Liang said, Zhang Hancheng couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Ever since Zhuqing's peppermint oil was sold in the store, it has gained popularity in the store because of its high quality and low price.
Now that the business in this shop has finally started to improve again, Mr. Liang actually agreed to Zhuqing to sell chilblain ointment. Moreover, Zhuqing's chilblain ointment was sold so cheaply. He intuitively felt that Mr. Liang's business was not big this time.
Profits can be earned.
As an apprentice who was kindly taken in by Mr. Liang, what he was most worried about was whether Mr. Liang would lose money because of this frostbite ointment.
He wanted to persuade Mr. Liang a few words, but seeing Mr. Liang's excited expression, he still couldn't
He didn't speak. He nodded in agreement.
Of course, he would never have imagined that this wave of frostbite cream would definitely bring unprecedented profits and good reputation to his Liang Family Pharmacy! This allowed the Liang Family Pharmacy to completely establish a foothold in Ping'an Town, and it was also vaguely related to Doctor Qian.
The trend of fighting against each other in Huichun Hall.
Of course, this also caused the madness in Huichun Hall
Counterattack.
There was a big fight between Huichuntang and Liang’s Drug Store.
Price war. Of course, by doing this, the people who ultimately benefited were the ordinary people of Quanpingan Town.
Therefore, Zhuqing feels that this is definitely a good thing for everyone.
What she most wanted to hear was that when the villagers in the village who were close to her came to chat with her, they thanked her for the frostbite cream she made.
"Qingya, you see the effect of that chilblain ointment is really good! This life was really uncomfortable in the past years, but this year with this chilblain ointment, I and my two boys have suffered a lot less. And this
The price is still so cheap, which I would have never been willing to buy in previous years!" The aunt in the village thanked Zhuqing for the frostbite ointment, which made Zhuqing and Wang very happy.
Privately, Mrs. Wang was also very impressed and said to Zhuqing: "Qingya, you are such a capable girl! Mom likes how smart and capable you are! Sometimes we can't just look at money when doing things. This chilblain ointment
Mom is really happy about this!"
Zhuqing was of course very happy that she had accomplished this. She never thought that such a small thing could achieve such a good effect.
Chilblain ointment seems to be just a small thing. But because it is very close to the daily needs of ordinary people, it is particularly popular among everyone.
Zhuqing's cooperation with Mr. Liang this time on chilblain ointment was 50-50. Originally, Zhuqing felt that she was just providing a prescription, and Mr. Liang would be responsible for all the raw materials and production in the later period. So she only planned to get 30% of the profit.
Enough. Who knew that Mr. Liang insisted on a 50-50 share? Otherwise, he would not be willing to help Zhuqing make and sell it.
So Zhu Qing could only agree to his suggestion. With the hot sales of chilblain ointment, Zhu Qing's family's profit this time was no less than that of peppermint oil.
It can be said that the profit distributed this time is completely enough for Zhuqing's family to live a good year. Zhuqing did not expect such benefits at all.
However, Zhuqing did not take all the five points of profit as her own. She thought that the recipe was finalized by her master, Mr. Mo, together with her, so every time she received a profit, she would also take out a share.
Send it to Mr. Mo. Let him help those he wants to help according to his own preferences.
Zhuqing's approach also made Mr. Mo very happy. He found that although the female disciple he had accepted was still young and looked stunted, in terms of understanding of people and worldliness and cleverness, he felt that she
All the disciples he had taken seemed to be inferior to Zhuqing.
He insisted that if Zhuqing practiced medicine in the future, his achievements would not be too low.
His expectation is exactly what Zhuqing hopes for. After Zhuqing traveled here, what he wanted most was to regain his identity as a doctor.
Now with strong support like Mr. Mo, Zhuqing believes that his dream will be realized soon.
Wang and Sun Fucheng are increasingly convinced of this.
But now, Zhuqing is thinking about how to distill alcohol again.
Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, some families in the village who have some surplus food will make rice wine to entertain guests during the Chinese New Year.
But Zhu Qing wanted to go to Huangni Village and have a good chat with the Zhang family about the refining of alcohol.
He also talked to Mr. Mo about the alcohol matter. Mr. Mo showed great interest. He asked Zhuqing to try it first and then show him the results.
