In the end, Lu Jiaoer sold 42 bottles of rheumatism and leg pain ointment that cost three yuan a bottle.
Why three yuan for the first ten places? !
No, not at all.
The guys didn't listen at all, and each gave her three yuan. They also insisted on asking her to take care of the neighbors in her own alley. They didn't care about other alleys, but this alley had to be discounted.
Lu Jiaoer only brewed a total of seventy bottles. She gave Aunt Fang one bottle before, plus she bought five more bottles. Aunt Cai and Aunt Ma each ordered one bottle, so there were fifty bottles in total.
No, just yesterday, Lu Jiaoer went to the nearby post office to mail all the remaining 20 bottles of ointment to her home. In addition to this ointment, there are also 20 bottles of cold medicine, cough and phlegm medicine. , five bottles each of headache medicine, diarrhea medicine, and fever medicine. I also stuffed a letter inside to tell my family how to use it.
Not only that, Lu Jiaoer also told Su Yulan to sell fifteen of the twenty bottles of ointment, keep one bottle for her own use, and give the other four bottles to her eldest uncle, second uncle, brother-in-law, and aunt.
The same goes for other medicines, keep a portion for yourself, and give the extra to your uncles and aunts.
This is Lu Jiaoer's thanks to them for taking care of themselves and their family. Although they are all relatives, it is not strange to be polite to so many people. As for the idea that it is unlucky to give medicine, country people do not have so many scruples and thoughts. After all, medicine is not cheap. The medicine sent back from a big city like Beijing is almost a miracle medicine in the eyes of country people.
"Xiao Lu, is this ointment really gone?!"
Just when Lu Jiaoer said that her ointment had been sold out, people who came after hearing the news and didn't buy it started chasing her and asking questions with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"There really aren't any anymore. I'm not going to lie to you. I don't survive much, and the medicinal materials are limited and expensive. I don't make any money at all for these three yuan a bottle. After all, most of the medicinal materials are bought at traditional Chinese medicine purchase stations. If you don't believe me, just ask I asked about the price of Chinese medicinal materials, and I paid ten cents for this bottle."
She used firewood instead of briquettes to make the medicine. This thing was not as good as firewood, so it cost a lot of money to buy firewood. Lu Jiaoer was telling the truth.
After thinking about it, Lu Jiaoer felt that she had suffered a huge loss and that her work was all in vain.
She shook her head, she couldn't do this again next time.
"Okay, Xiao Lu won't lie to you. A bottle of the ointment she sells is bigger than those creams. Those creams only cost five yuan for a small box. Xiao Lu's ointment costs three yuan, let alone making money. , it’s fine if you don’t lose money, don’t bully others too much, people have to live a good life, good medicine is worth buying not only five yuan, but ten or eight yuan.”
"I'm telling you, don't push your nose and face. Even if you take advantage, you can still have people make medicine for you for free?! What a shame. Xiao Lu said before that only the first ten people can buy it for three yuan. Ping, in the end, you all only gave me three yuan, and I’m getting upset for you?! Xiao Lu, just leave them alone and do whatever you want.”
"Also, Xiao Lu, the cough and phlegm medicine you gave me was very good after your uncle used it. I plan to buy some to prepare. I heard that you also have cold medicine, fever medicine, and diarrhea medicine. I want some of them. , I will give you the total amount."
As a result, Lu Jiaoer didn't say anything yet, but Aunt Fang, who had not left, saw this and almost got angry on her behalf.
In the past few days, she had been getting medicines from Lu Jiaoer one after another. Some of them were free of charge, but they were sold to her so cheaply. She felt bad if she didn't speak up for Xiao Lu.
"Aunt Fang, we have them all. I'll get them for you. This time it's at a discounted price, two yuan a bottle."
In fact, it has to be sold for at least three yuan. However, Aunt Fang has always supported her and will not take her money. After receiving her kindness, she will give herself something.
Lu Jiaoer felt that such a person was worth keeping company with, and she would be willing to do it even if the income was less.
"Okay, I believe you."
Although Lu Jiaoer's medicine is more expensive than the medicine prescribed by the hospital, Aunt Fang still trusts her more now. Even if she is fooled, it is only once.
Just a few bucks.
Lu Jiaoer brought out three bottles of medicine and gave them to her. Each bottle of medicine had the name, usage and dosage written on it.
Aunt Fang had already decided to come to Lu Jiaoer to buy other medicines before she went out, so she had enough money with her. She immediately counted six yuan and gave it to her.
"Xiao Lu, I also want these three bottles of the same medicine as your Aunt Fang, no, plus another bottle of cough and phlegm medicine."
An old man who was not short of money took the ointment and did not leave. When he saw Aunt Fang asking for other medicines, he immediately followed suit. He could afford to spend a few dollars.
"Xiao Lu, I also want the same medicine as your Uncle Niu. I want whatever he wants."
"Then I want a bottle of cough and phlegm medicine, a bottle of cold medicine, and a bottle of fever medicine."
"I'll also take a bottle to relieve cough and reduce phlegm."
"Xiao Lu, two yuan a bottle, right?! Then I'll get a bottle of cold medicine too."
"If it costs two yuan a bottle, I'll also take cough and phlegm-reducing medicine and cold medicine."
Uncle Niu had just finished speaking domineeringly, and immediately there were people following his lead, but not everyone was as wealthy as him. After all, their pension was not as good as his, and their family wealth was not as good as his.
Everyone must have more than ten yuan, but in some families not everyone receives a salary. The three or four adults in a good family receive a salary and only raise two or three children. However, some families only have two workers and have to support the elderly and children, so the burden is different.
Therefore, I will not spend money on Lu Jiaoer's medicine unless necessary, because it is more expensive than the medicine in the hospital.
Although he had given Aunt Fang this price and other people wanted it, Lu Jiaoer thought about it and stopped thinking about it, and did not forcefully say not to sell or raise the price. Anyway, she decided that after she finished selling the medicine in her hand, she would not make any more pills for the time being. She would have to go to the mountains to collect herbs after spring before making pills again.
So, after everyone left, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. Lu Jiaoer didn't plan to cook anymore, so she made a pot of noodles, beaten two eggs, and added two leaves of cabbage. That's her supper.
After finishing dinner, she took inventory of the medicines and found that except for ointments, there were not many medicines left. She was afraid that they would be sold out tomorrow.
The next day, just as she expected, the remaining medicine was used up in just one morning.
Several small groups of people came one after another in the afternoon and evening. They all came excitedly and then left disappointed. They kept asking Lu Jiaoer when the medicine would be made.
"Medicine?! That will have to wait until next spring. I will go to the Fragrant Mountain in the suburbs to collect medicine. You can come back then."
No matter who came to inquire or who asked, Lu Jiaoer always said the same thing, "We'll talk about it in the spring."
"Xiao Lu, can't you take this medicine now?! We can't wait that long until next spring."
"Yes, Xiao Lu, doesn't the Chinese medicine station have medicinal materials?! You can buy them and make them."
Lu Jiaoer naturally shook her head without hesitation, with a look of unwillingness on her face, and she said it very straightforwardly.
"It's expensive to buy medicinal materials directly. I won't make any money at all. It's better to save some money by collecting the medicinal materials myself in the future. At least I can have something to eat."
So, please wait slowly. Anyway, she is not in a hurry at all. She doesn't feel panic when she has money and food in hand.
Everyone: "..."
