The canteen started construction. The staff canteen that Wu You was in charge of was more refined than the big pot rice in the glass factory. If it is completed as early as possible, it can save a ration for the family as soon as possible, and it can save a lot in a year.
The wood and bricks arrived the next day, and Wu You also hired some craftsmen. The staff canteen was built in a few days. It had one more process than the large canteen. It changed from outdoor to indoor, and it took some time to build walls and tiles.
Wu You finally understood Zheng Xiong's intention and added a lot of tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans. At a glance, it looked like a later employee restaurant.
The cook hired a master chef who knew the basics. Human society is like this. If you can't jump through a circle, then you have to help each other and stumble forward.
With two helpers and a senior chef, the pharmacy's staff canteen is a perfect match.
On the day it was completed, the canteen was officially opened for business. Except for a few people on duty, a group of people came and queued up to wait for their meals.
A big bowl of rice, a big spoonful of fresh food, not very good, but everyone was very satisfied with it.
Building a canteen is not expensive, but laying the foundation for this nearly a thousand acres of land is a big project. Zheng Xiong can only take his time.
After dinner, we went to the printing factory. During this time, Ying Tianfu's books have been printed. Most of them are textbooks and commonly used Confucian classics, which are not difficult. The books from Taiyuan Hospital are a bit more sophisticated. Not only are they large in volume, but they also contain many folk remedies and commonly used medicines.
The workload of Taiping Huimin and Jiju Prescriptions alone in the Song Dynasty was very large.
"Taiping Huimin Heji Bureau Prescription" was compiled by Taiping Huimin Heji Bureau in the Song Dynasty. It is the world's first patent medicine standard compiled under the official leadership.
A work on traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, with a total of 10 volumes and 3 volumes of general guide. It is divided into 14 categories such as cold, typhoid, all qi, phlegm, and various deficiencies, etc., and contains 788 prescriptions. The collected prescriptions are all traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, describing their main treatments, compatibility and specific preparation methods. It is a widely circulated and influential clinical prescription book, and many of the prescriptions in the book are still widely used in clinical practice.
There are also four recognized medical books: "Huangdi Neijing", "Difficult Classic", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", and "Shen Nong's Materia Medica".
"Huangdi Neijing": also known as "Nei Jing", it is the first of the four classics of traditional Chinese medicine. It is divided into two parts: "Lingshu" and "Suwen". It is the earliest medical classic in China. "Huangdi Neijing" is a comprehensive medical book that lays the foundation for understanding human physiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatment. It is a medical work with great influence in China and is known as the ancestor of medicine.
"Difficulties Sutra": formerly known as "Yellow Emperor's Eighty-one Difficulties Sutra", also known as "Eighty-One Difficulties", it is an earlier existing classic work of traditional Chinese medicine. The "Difficult Classic" proposes eighty-one issues for focused discussion based on "Su Wen" and "Ling Shu", and then summarizes them into a book. The book "Difficult Classics" has a total of eighty-one difficult questions. It uses a question and answer method to explore and discuss some theoretical issues of traditional Chinese medicine, including pulse diagnosis, meridians, internal organs, yin and yang, causes of disease, pathogenesis, Yingwei, acupoints, acupuncture, diseases, etc. Certificates, etc.
"Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases": is one of the traditional Chinese medical works. It is a medical classic that mainly discusses exogenous diseases and internal diseases. The author is Zhang Zhongjing in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" is a special book that collects medical theories since the Qin and Han Dynasties and is widely used in medical practice. It is one of the most influential classical medical works in the history of medicine in my country and is also the first major work on clinical therapeutics in my country.
"Shen Nong's Materia Medica": Also known as "Ben Cao Jing" or "Ben Jing", it was written under the name "Shen Nong" and was actually written in the Han Dynasty. It is the earliest known work on traditional Chinese medicine. "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" is said to have originated from Shennong and was passed down orally from generation to generation. It was collected and compiled into a book during the Eastern Han Dynasty. This book is the first systematic summary of Chinese traditional medicine. Most of the traditional Chinese medicine theories and compatibility rules stipulated in it, as well as the principle of "harmony of seven emotions", have played a huge role in thousands of years of medicinal practice.
The four major medical books and the Taiping Huimin and Pharmacy Prescriptions alone cost the printing house a lot of energy, not to mention the large number of accumulated medical classics obtained from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
If he didn't have a large amount of movable type in hand, Zheng Xiong wouldn't have dared to take over this matter. Now that he has taken it over, it won't be completed within a few months.
I found the old man who had a higher prestige at the time, asked for his name, arranged for a position as the director of the printing factory, and briefly inquired about the situation.
"Are there enough movable types here? Are there any difficulties in printing?"
Lin Shizheng, the newly appointed factory director, was in a daze when he heard Zheng Xiong's question. It took him a while to react and reply.
"Sir, there are more and more movable types, and they don't consume much. Yingtianfu's printing is large, and they print in large quantities, so the speed is very fast. Taiyuan's printing is in small quantities, and the typesetting masters can't arrange it, so It’s not very efficient. It would be nice if we could find more typesetting masters.”
Zheng Xiong nodded when he heard this.
"Since I made you the director of the factory, you will have to take care of these things for me from now on, arrange them well, and recruit people if you want."
"Yes, sir, I don't know how many people are suitable to recruit."
"It's up to you. I'll give you a month to finish the work in the hospital. It's up to you to recruit as many people as you think. Just make arrangements and bring them to me for my signature."
"The work you are doing now is a loss-making business. If you finish it earlier, you can make money earlier. I also asked you to print a few more copies of these medical books and bring them to the pharmacy. Are you doing it?"
"Sir, what is being printed now are ordinary classics with a small number of words. I have sent a few copies to the pharmacy after printing. The four major medical books, Taiping Huimin and pharmacy prescriptions have not been started yet."
"The four major medical books, the Taiping Huimin and the prescriptions of the Pharmacy Bureau were printed for me first, and more were printed. One hundred copies of each were printed. They were proofread by me when they were printed. One word difference could make a huge difference. No, if something goes wrong, I will have to settle the score with you."
"yes."
Zheng Xiong also wanted to talk about laying the foundation, but it seemed unnecessary. Let's wait until the printing factory is on track.
"Send a message later to purchase some wooden boxes. Find someone to take my warrant and go to the specialty store by the Qinhuai River to get a piece of soap and make a wooden box in that style. The acquisition standards should be unified, and I will collect them and give them to the specialty store. , let them put it in wooden boxes and sell it.”
"yes."
"It's okay, you can go."
Hearing this, Lin Shi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left.
The reason why soap is not selling well is not only because there are a large number of substitutes on the market, but also because the packaging has not kept up. If it were not for the higher grade along with the glass bottles, it would be even harder to sell. Since we have come to the printing factory, we will outsource a batch of wooden boxes to try out the soap packaging.
Palace Jade Wine, one hundred and eighty cups, ask me how it is and look at my packaging.
The goods are genuine and fair. If you want to sell them at a high price, packaging is indispensable.
