Hearing that Jiang Zhi needed to leave the mules, Miss Huo Er laughed and said, "They are already here with me, so there is no need for you to feed them outside.
I asked my friend to prepare some food and water in the backyard. If I have more time, I can explain the matter clearly as soon as possible. "
Miss Huo Er was fickle in doing things, but she was also temperamental towards Jiang Zhi.
So Er Rui and his waiter went to wait on the old mule, while Jiang Zhi and Miss Huo Er went to the backyard of the medicine store.
There is a room here where the second lady works. Apart from half a wall of locked wooden cabinets, there is also a large window, and outside the window is a yellow orchid tree.
It is summer now, the flowers are in full bloom on the trees, the branches and leaves are lush, and the fragrance is fragrant.
Also known as white orchid, the whole flower is used as medicine. It is said to be very effective in treating chronic bronchitis, fatigue and chronic cough, and prostatitis. You can also extract flavors and fragrances and smoke scented tea.
Jiang Zhi took a deep breath: "No wonder you can smell this smell in the front shop, it's so fragrant!"
In modern times, every summer, there are aunts on the streets selling flower strings strung with needlework.
In Bajun, where it is taboo to wear white flowers, only gardenias and yellow orchids can be worn casually.
From the 99-year-old grandmother to the little baby crawling on the ground, they will all wear it on their heads and bodies, euphemistically saying: to remove the smell of sweat!
One flower can be fragrant for a day, and one flower can be fragrant for the whole summer.
Every time you smell the fragrance of Huangjue Orchid, you can find a person wearing the flower.
Since Miss Huo Er has a yellow oak tree at home, she naturally wears a hairpin with flowers.
Hearing Jiang Zhi's praise, the second lady smiled and said, "If Mrs. Jiang likes it, you can transplant one back after winter!"
Jiang Zhi immediately thanked: "We need to plant some flowers and plants at home, so thank you very much, Miss Second."
There are few trees in Xujia Village now. If you plant some yellow orchids, it will not only beautify the environment, but you can also pick the flowers and exchange them for money when the trees grow up.
“Since we are going to plant flowers and plants, why not plant more!”
Miss Huo Er said something with another meaning. Without waiting for Jiang Zhi to ask, she turned around and took out an account book from the wooden cabinet next to her.
"Mrs. Jiang, you have land there. Apart from food, do you want to grow some medicinal materials?"
Jiang Zhi raised his eyebrows. This is a good thing. Compared with food, medicinal materials are the most profitable economic crops.
But she couldn't agree outright. Many medicinal materials were not harvested that year, and the technology was high and the villagers had no experience. Once the planting was wrong, there would be no harvest.
For the villagers who have not yet settled down, having a full stomach is the top priority.
But the opportunity is rare, so you need to ask yourself.
"Miss Huo Er said about growing medicinal materials, but I wonder what kind of medicines can be grown? We have land, but the village has no experience in growing medicines, and there is no food storage at home. We can't withstand the time and have no income." Jiang Zhi didn't hide anything, and told the basics of Xujia Village Make the situation clear.
It's okay to let villagers grow crops, but it's difficult to grow medicinal materials.
Miss Huo Er said: "The last time my man came to buy green grain from you, he said that you were the village chief and there was enough land in the village.
I just want to ask, would you like to grow Ophiopogon japonicus and Angelica dahurica in the future? You can learn even if you don’t understand, and I can send people to teach you! "
Ophiopogon japonicus! Angelica dahurica!
These are medicinal materials with Sichuan characteristics, such as Jiangyou’s aconite, Mianyang’s Ophiopogon japonicus, Suining’s Angelica dahurica, Zhongjiang’s Salvia, Tianquan’s Sichuan Achyranthes, etc. are all famous brands.
Jiang Zhi pondered for a moment: "This is a good thing, but I need to go back and discuss it with everyone first!"
Tian Gui and Xu Gen were still in charge of the farming matter. Before agreeing to the Huo family, he needed to discuss it with the village.
Miss Huo Er nodded: "That's right. I'm not in a hurry here. If you want to plant medicine, you need to choose a land first. The season is not yet here. It's not too late for you to discuss it slowly.
There’s just one thing that’s too late…”
Speaking of this, she suddenly laughed: "Mrs. Jiang, I have to tell you the good news first!"
Jiang Zhi was thinking about how to convince Tian Gui and the others to plant several acres of medicinal materials, so he was a little stunned: "Second Miss, if you have anything to say, just say it. What am I happy about?"
Miss Huo Er smiled happily: "The isatis root granules from Huojia Pharmacy have been sold for a month, and the news from all aspects is very good."
Merchants are different and will not let their money go to waste.
It has only been more than two months since I got the formula. The Huo Family Pharmacy has made the granules and sold them in various drug stores.
Good news is a good thing. Jiang Zhi also became happy: "That's really good!"
Now I am a seller, and the customer feedback is very satisfactory, so I am naturally happy as a seller.
Miss Huo Er was just a good news. She didn't say the specific sales volume or price at this time, and Jiang Zhi didn't ask in a hurry.
She is not in a hurry now and is not ready to make medicine yet.
First, the conditions in all aspects are insufficient. Things in the village are complicated and there is no time to spare.
In addition, if the Huo family needs to open up the situation first, then they can win by themselves.
Jiang Zhi had previously written a contract with the Huo family that in the future, his pharmaceuticals would be sold by the Huo family at the same price.
Now that Baba is getting closer, it looks so ugly.
Jiang Zhi was not in a hurry to make medicine, but remembered that Miss Huo Er said that she wanted to make more mosquito coils: "Miss Er said that she would make more mosquito coils. Did the sales increase again?"
Mosquito-repellent incense seems to be cheap, costing only two cents per plate, but in fact not many people are willing to use it. Ordinary people still smoke a handful of mugwort in the middle of the night.
Therefore, mosquito-repellent incense is only sold in the county town, not in the town, and it is not sold further away for the time being.
There are thousands of households in Pingchuan County, and it takes ten days to sell 500 properties.
Now that I have sent a thousand plates, I thought I would have to sell them until autumn. Why do I suddenly need to increase the quantity?
Miss Huo Er nodded, opened the account book, pointed to the record above and said: "Several grocery stores came to pick it up. They all bought dozens of trays of mosquito coils, so naturally they didn't have enough to sell."
"And I even asked about it. They got the goods from us and sold them for five cents a plate!"
"Oh, I only sold it for two cents, and they sold it for five cents!" Jiang Zhi was surprised.
Isn’t it said that Berkshire’s business is underdeveloped?
Why do those grocery stores have such a keen sense of smell? They can think of buying goods from drug stores and flipping them to make money.
Miss Huo Er said: "Don't you think that there are so many mosquitoes during this period that people dare not stop biting during the day? Even I need some incense here."
The black mosquito is a small bite several times smaller than a mosquito, only as big as a mosquito's toe.
It is probably another specialty of Berkshire. It bites silently and unconsciously, and is more poisonous than mosquitoes. One bite can cause a big bump, with unbearable itching and redness and swelling.
The number can also be calculated by overwhelming the sky, clustering in clusters on a person's exposed skin, like a patch of ink.
In Berkshire, on days when there is less rain in the summer, small bites during the day can become a disaster, leaving people with nowhere to hide.
There is too much rain, and mosquitoes are rampant at night.
After the heavy rain a few days ago, it was sunny and there were more mosquitoes.
Therefore, those families who can afford mosquito coils need to use them at night and during the day, and sales will naturally double.
And compared to pharmacies, grocery stores are the place where people come into contact most often, and it is easier to sell them.
Jiang Zhi laughed dumbly. Mosquito-repellent incense was sold in various grocery stores.
Once selling mosquito coils becomes a habit, the Huo family will not have to do anything from now on, just smoke it in the middle.
However, Jiang Zhi did not regret or feel distressed. Without the platform of Huojia Medicine Store, he would not have been able to open up the mosquito-repellent coils so easily.
Compared with growing medicinal materials, making mosquito coils is the best way to make money at this stage. If you need to go back, start immediately.
Therefore, Jiang Zhi agreed to deliver 10,000 plates in ten days.
