"We don't need to recruit people for the time being. There are too few people to use the machines. It's difficult to arrange for casual workers to be hired." Liu San said, "If you have the skills, you might as well recruit a few more clerks and pharmacists in the pharmacy - the medical bureau can use them. "
Liu San told him not to recruit any more people in the near future, and that it would not be too late to expand staff according to demand after the factory is completed.
In fact, it was Wu De who had greeted him and asked him to keep the personnel of the traditional Chinese medicine factory in check - now some of the workers in Runshitang were recruited from across the group, and some of them were recruited from Guangdong by Runshitang itself. The ingredients are complex and not easy to manage. Wu De hopes that Liu San will take back the personnel rights as soon as possible, and in the future, the workers of the pharmaceutical factory will be uniformly deployed from the refugees in the quarantine camp.
"Brother, you are right." Yang Shixiang did not expect that there were twists and turns. He knew nothing about how to organize machine production, so he obeyed everything Liu San said. "From now on, all matters in this factory must be entrusted to brothers." ”
Liu San agreed and talked about the opening of a semicolon in Runshitang. After Li Mei became deputy minister of the Ministry of Commerce and director of the cooperative, she immediately became very interested in Chinese patent medicines, a highly profitable flagship product, and held several coordination meetings with the Ministry of Health to discuss the issue of expanding drug sales. The Foreign Intelligence Service also hopes to add new foreign bases.
Pharmacies are no more than luxury goods. They are things that everyone needs, and they will not attract attention wherever they are opened. Runshitang became a suitable target.
Yang Shixiang didn't know the whole story, but he was also a very ambitious person. He thought about it secretly, but shook his head repeatedly: "It's better not to open the semicolon for the time being."
He went on to explain the whole story: "Opening a semicolon involves employing people. The only person I can trust and have the ability to do is Liu Benshan, and the others are not capable of being a shopkeeper. Besides, the Runshitang brand is not well-known in Guangdong. No, the pharmacy should be a time-honored brand, and the older the patients are, the more trustworthy the doctors will be.”
"I have an idea," Liu San said, "What can Runshitang rely on to get back on its feet?"
"Of course they are your two prescriptions, dear brother."
"That's right, this is called one trick that can be eaten all over the world. If we sell herbal medicines in decoction pieces, the name of the brand must be old and well-established, but as long as we have a few special pills and powders, we don't have to worry about the business not coming to the door, and the decoction pieces not being sold."
Yang Shixiang was startled. How could it be called a medicine shop if it didn't sell decoction pieces? He is a businessman after all, and he figured it out after a little thought: If he doesn't sell decoction pieces but only sells patent medicines, the patent medicines will be shipped directly from Lingao. There is no need to store a large amount of crude medicines in the store, and there is no need to hire many pharmacists to concoct the medicines. There is no need for large buildings for storage and processing. As long as there is a counter room and a few clerks are hired to sell medicine in the counter, it can be used as long as the shopkeeper is experienced and reliable. A lot of costs can be saved by default.
This is a great idea. Yang Shixiang thought about it and shook his head: "It's a pity that there are not many patent medicines to sell."
"Having a pharmaceutical factory, are you afraid that there will be no medicine?" Liu San was confident. In fact, Liu San and Li Mei noticed that it was a chain drugstore similar to Watsons.
The two discussed how to open this pharmacy, the source of prescriptions for patent medicines, etc. After the calculation was settled, Yang Shixiang asked when the Australians would prepare to "divide women".
"To tell you the truth, my eldest brother has quite a few secret recipes for nourishing yin and strengthening yang," Yang Shixiang said. "Master Wang has agreed to use them!" As he said that, he stood up, opened a cabinet behind him, and took out some jars and jars from it. Come.
"This is medicinal wine, this is nourishing ointment," Yang Shixiang pointed to several jars on the table, "They are all made according to family recipes." He pointed to one of the jars, "This is what Master Wang eats. , very effective.”
"He is a middle-aged widower. Of course he has to use this when he takes a concubine." Liu San smiled and said, "How much money can be made in this business, it's okay not to do it." The problem for these 500 people now is that they have no place to vent, rather than venting. Too much needs nourishment. Besides, almost all the people who travel through time are young and strong, so I'm afraid they will only get angry if they eat this.
"Big Brother is willing to give all these nourishing medicines a try." Yang Shixiang said.
Liu Sanyi was startled. This gift is not light. Although there are many gimmicks in the nourishing ointment, real and precious medicinal materials must be used. Moreover, you don’t just need to eat one serving of nourishing ointment, you have to take at least one or two servings, which is a lot of expense.
"No way." Liu San refused without hesitation. The medicine is three-part poison, and there are many black Chinese medicines in Chuanzhong. If there is any adverse reaction, it will become a handle for attack, affecting him and Runshitang. cooperative relationship between them.
But he couldn't say this directly. He thought for a while and said: "Brother's wish is for me, but my younger brother has received it, but most of our people are young and strong, so it would be too early to eat this."
"My dear brother, don't worry," Yang Shixiang said, "There is no tiger or wolf medicine in it, it's just a warming tonic."
"No, no," Liu San refused firmly. Seeing his sworn brother's sincere attitude, he had to remind him, "Brother, nourishing ointment is also medicine. Since it is medicine, it is not an ordinary food..."
Yang Shixiang is a smart man and immediately understood what he meant. Brother Xindao was really thoughtful! He nodded immediately.
"If someone needs it, I will naturally let him buy it." Liu San said, "This is more appropriate."
"Brother is still thoughtful."
The dinner lasted until late at night, and the two discussed many things to do. By the end, Liu San was already half drunk and his face was red. Yang Shixiang asked the maid to bring sour bamboo shoots and leek sprout soup, and added twenty duck wontons to the soup, which made Liu San feel sober and full. I feel that living in my sworn brother's house is much better than living in the dormitory.
Seeing that he was already half drunk, Yang Shixiang asked the maid to help him take a rest in the inner room. Liu San was still somewhat conscious, so he first took off his holster and put it on the back bed, then lay down and let the maid undress him. I fell asleep immediately.
After sleeping until midnight, I suddenly felt unbearably hot in my heart, my body was dripping with sweat, and even my shirt collar was wet. Abnormal dryness of mouth and tongue
Liu San stretched out his tongue and licked his dry lips, opened his eyes, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and felt that his mouth was dry and tight. The room was very bright, and the moonlight shone in from the paper window, bringing a hazy feeling to the room. Hazy halo. For a moment, he almost forgot where he was. It took him a moment to remember that he was in the courtyard of Yang Shixiang's outer study.
He quickly touched his pistol and felt relieved that he had all the ammunition. From now on, it would be better to leave the pistol in the dormitory. There are infantry companies, police and special commissioners in the county. It is no different from the Green Zone. People with guns Walking around is really causing trouble for yourself.
I was unbearably thirsty, so I got up and prepared to pour a glass of water to drink. There is a tea set on the table in front of the window. Under the moonlight, I got out of bed and walked to the table. The moonlight outside the window is so bright that I can barely read under the window.
However, although there were tea sets, there was no tea. The teapot and teacups were all empty and cold to the touch. Liu San sat back on the edge of the bed with some disappointment. Suddenly I remembered that there was no such thing as a thermos in the Ming Dynasty. To drink tea, you had to boil water and make it immediately. The most sophisticated people just had water boiling in the tea room at all times.
It's just that after being drunk, he was very thirsty and urgently needed water. Liu San didn't know if there was anyone else in the yard, so he was helpless for a moment. Suddenly I heard the door curtain ring, and the candlelight in the room flickered - a woman came in holding a candlestick.
"Master, why don't you ask your slave to pour tea?"
She spoke in Cantonese vernacular, a dialect that Liu San could understand. Knowing that she was probably a maid or something like that, she immediately said, "It doesn't matter."
"If you don't call me slave, wouldn't slave be useless?" The woman's voice was clear, and she put the candlestick on the table. Liu San unconsciously took a closer look and saw that the person who came was about twenty-seven or eighty-years-old. He was wearing a green cloth skirt and jacket, a vest, and a maid's hair. She has beautiful features and beautiful eyes, and exudes the charm of a mature woman.
Liu San was secretly surprised that a woman in her twenties and seventies still wore her hair in a girl's hairstyle. The charm revealed in every move she made was something that a young virgin could not achieve.
Moreover, he didn't know this person: there were not many servants in Yang Shixiang's family, and he had seen almost all of them, but he couldn't remember such a woman.
He asked warily: "Where did the girl come from?"
"I recently joined this house," the woman said generously, "My name is Xuanchun, and I came from Zhangzhou."
"You are from Fujian, how come you speak Cantonese vernacular?"
"My servant is from Guangdong, and my previous master's family was from Zhangzhou." As she spoke, she brought a small copper basket from the outhouse, took a teapot and tea cup and made tea there.
"No need to make tea. I'm just thirsty. I'd just like some warm water."
Xuanchun didn't answer. She worked hard for a while and brought a tea cup over: "Third Master, let's have some tea."
"Third Master?" Liu San was surprised, suddenly thinking that he was addressing himself. He is Yang Shixiang's sworn brother, and even his wife has to call him "uncle". Of course, this maid has to call him master.
The outside of the tea cup is warm, neither ice nor hot. When you drink it, you can only feel the fragrance of the tea, which is refreshing and sweet. Liu San raises his hand to wipe the tea from the corner of his mouth, and Xuan Chun hands him a handkerchief to wipe his mouth. Liu San thought to himself: "No wonder the people stationed abroad are so happy to miss Shu. This kind of enjoyment is much better than living in a dormitory and eating in a public canteen."
Xuanchun put away the tea utensils and touched his bedding. Liu San fell asleep after drinking, and the bedding was stained with sweat and wine. She turned back and left, then came back with a bedding in her arms, put away the bedding on the bed for him, and laid it out again.
"This is a very clean bedding that has been freshly washed and dried," Xuanchun said.
"No, no need." Liu San was a little embarrassed. This was too extravagant. The bedding in the study was originally clean. He didn't vomit due to alcohol. There were just some wine stains on it and he was sweating profusely.
Xuanchun knelt on the edge of the bed to make the bed for him, adding sheets to the mattress and tucking it in, which was very troublesome. Xuanchun stuck out her round and plump ass, moving east and west, and Liu San's eyes didn't feel that they were moving with her. v! ~!
