Miss Huo Er is in her twenties, has an oval face, wears a red dress, and has lively eyebrows when she speaks. Although she is not glamorous, she has a special charm, which is the aura of a mature professional woman that Jiang Zhi is particularly familiar with.
For a blink of an eye, Jiang Zhi thought he saw the vice president of his hospital, and reflexively stretched out his hand: "Hello! My name is Jiang Zhi!"
Miss Huo Er was surprised. She looked at Jiang Zhi's hand stretched out in front of her and held it tentatively: "Mrs. Jiang, is this...?"
"Haha!" Jiang Zhi suddenly realized how he could shake hands with people.
But the outstretched hand was already held by Miss Huo Er. She could only hold Miss Huo Er and said with a smile: "It's rare to see such a well-behaved and capable girl, so I just want to touch you!"
Miss Huo Er also laughed out loud. She did not let go after hearing Jiang Zhi's rude words. Instead, she held hands and walked into the courtyard: "I heard from my uncle that Mrs. Jiang is also very powerful and wants to make medicine in our store in the future. sell?"
Jiang Zhi nodded: "Yes! The Huo family's business is doing so well, I also want to get some credit..."
In everyone's surprised eyes, the two met for the first time, but they seemed like old friends for many years, holding hands and walking side by side, talking while walking!
Miss Huo Er came specifically to take Jiang Zhi to the Huo Family Pharmacy. She had originally promised to give guidance to the Huo Family Pharmacist in making medicines, but before going to the pharmacy, Jiang Zhi needed to go to the county government first.
But before Jiang Zhi said this, Miss Huo Er had already said with a smile: "I heard that Mrs. Jiang went to the county government yesterday and talked with Magistrate Zhang for a long time!"
Her tone was affirmative, and she had obviously received the news from the county government.
Come to think of it, the Huo family is a big merchant in the city, so it is normal to have connections in the county government.
Jiang Zhi didn't hide it, smiled slightly, and only said half of what he said: "County Magistrate Zhang is very satisfied with the contract between our two families. He said things that benefit the people should be encouraged and supported!"
Miss Huo Er blinked: "Mrs. Jiang is very familiar with the people in the county government!"
Some words just hit the mark.
The woman in front of her was still very rustic in clothes, but the calmness in her eyebrows and her temperament were already extraordinary and comparable to that of a village woman.
Miss Huo Er didn't mention the county government again, she just said that the time needed to be changed.
The group of people went to the medicine shop first.
The Huo family's medicine shop is also in the city, and the thick courtyard walls reduce the losses suffered by refugees when they enter the city.
When I entered, I discovered that the medicine shop was very large. Several tall warehouses were built independently. In the open space for fire protection in the middle of the warehouse, there were rows of shelves, which were filled with medicinal materials that needed to be dried.
Walking along the corridor beside the courtyard wall, the back room is the pharmaceutical room.
Jiang Zhi, an outsider, was definitely not allowed to enter the Huo family's pharmacy, so they only made a vacant room next to it for her to use.
The Huo family arranged for four pharmacists, two men and two women, of varying ages.
Miss Huo Er pointed to the four people and introduced them to Jiang Zhi: "These are Huo family pharmacists who know how to measure. Mrs. Jiang will do it once first, and they will learn from the side. If there is anything that is not done well, just point it out. "
Although the four people didn't show anything on their faces, they were a little perfunctory when they saluted Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi didn't seem to notice, still smiling.
Skilled people are like this. They are not slaves serving tea and water and need to watch their words.
All the tools in the pharmacy are neatly arranged.
There are several types of bamboo sieves: chrysanthemum sieve, Yuanhu sieve, large medium eye, small medium eye, large tight eye and small tight eye.
Luo is the difference between horsetail, copper wire and silk silk, which are used to sift medicinal powders of different thicknesses.
Then there are dustpans of various sizes, bristle brushes, doulu (fire-resistant clay pots used for forging medicine), ovens, copper steamers, and steamers for steaming and drying medicinal materials.
It made Jiang Zhi's eyes look like they had claws, and he wanted to catch them all.
The items I had on the mountain were too crude.
There was no point in being greedy, so Jiang Zhi honestly started making isatis root granules.
She didn't use anyone from the Huo family, she just had enough people around her.
In the next day, Jiang Zhi took Er Rui and Xiao Man to weigh, crush and boil the medicine.
Once the potion is out of the pot, mix it with powdered sugar to make granules.
The Huo family pharmacist is watching from the side!
Jiang Zhi asked: "Where is the machine you usually use to shake pellets?"
She thought that the Huo family had all the equipment, including a pill rolling machine.
But the pharmacist from the Huo family shook his head: "We only have these sieves and dustpans, you can use them as you like, there is no one who shakes granules, and we don't know what granules are!"
This is a bit weird!
Xiaoman had been boiling medicine all day, and he had long since lost his patience. He stared and said, "Such a big medicine shop doesn't even have the ability to shake pills!"
The Huo family pharmacist suddenly turned dark.
Jiang Zhi stopped Xiao Man who was still about to complain: "Stop talking, these are all trivial matters!"
I am here to teach, and it is better to do less than to do more.
She adjusted the powdered sugar until it was dry and wet, held it into a ball with her hands, pressed lightly to disperse it, put it into a suitable sieve, and quickly shook it out into small, uniform particles.
Because he was teaching, Jiang Zhi didn't need to make many pellets, and it only took five hours. After the finished product came out, Miss Huo Er drank her first cup of "bitter coffee."
"Xin Yu, what do you think of Mrs. Jiang's place?" Miss Huo Er only tasted briefly and put down the medicine cup.
Xin Yu is the youngest pharmacist in the study and looks to be less than twenty years old.
Xin Yu said: "Second Miss, this is nothing special. The money was spent too much."
I spent one hundred and fifty taels of silver to learn how to make medicinal soup, but it seems like I lost money.
The four pharmacists of the Huo family felt a sharp pain in their hearts, so when Jiang Zhi wanted to use the vibrating machine, they said no.
It is true that Jiang Zhi's operation is not a profound skill for pharmacists like them.
Miss Huo Er smiled and shook her head: "You are still so virtuous. You must know that learning a new medicine is like breaking a layer of window paper.
It seems simple, but if no one demonstrates it in front of you, you won't know how to exert it.
If it was so easy, why didn't our Huo family think of it before, right? "
Looking at the second lady's half-smiling face, Xin Yu blushed and shut her mouth obediently.
However, I was still dissatisfied: the second lady was still too generous, and she was defrauded of a large sum of money casually.
After the teaching was over, Jiang Zhi rejected Miss Huo Er and wanted to hold a banquet for him, and took Er Rui and Xiao Man back to the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying.
After coming back, Xiao Man was still a little angry: "Then what do the Huo family want to do? They came to the village to learn from it. Now, the nose is not the nose and the face is not the face. Who can show it?"
Jiang Zhi beat his waist and said calmly: "If it doesn't look good, don't look at it. Our business is over. We can go shopping tomorrow and buy whatever we want."
She didn't do anything today.
But I was used to this kind of freedom, and suddenly staying in a small room for a whole day made my back and legs hurt.
It's not that she doesn't want to go out for a walk, it's the Huo family's medicinal material warehouse, which is considered an important place and outsiders are not allowed to enter at all.
As soon as he moved his feet, the Huo family next to him stared at him with wide eyes.
But this trip is not in vain.
Learning is always mutual.
In modern pharmaceuticals, all machines are automated and controlled, and the most primitive tools are rarely seen anymore.
After reading it today, I will know what to add in the future.
