Doctor Lin prescribed several kinds of medicine and put them in the room. They could barely reduce the number of mosquitoes, but there would still be some that slipped through the net and came in to bite us.

After waiting for two days, the mosquito repellent made by Ye Qing was ready. Old Man Ye helped make a few thin bamboo buckets to store the mosquito repellent.

Wei Xin was pregnant and worried that alcohol would be bad for her health. She added some cold boiled water to her mosquito repellent, which reduced its effectiveness, but was still very useful.

But after two days, Ye Qing discovered that the mosquito repellent still had a drawback and its mosquito repellent effect was average.

After being bitten by mosquitoes, apply it to the red and swollen area to relieve itching.

This is a bit like an anti-itching lotion. You should try other methods to repel mosquitoes.

She borrowed the method of fire stick, dried the mugwort leaves and crushed them into powder.

Then crush the charcoal from the mountain and use a sieve to sift out the powdered charcoal.

Add charcoal powder or mugwort powder, some realgar, and glutinous rice flour, and water to make a paste.

Then rub the mud into thin strips, roll it into a mosquito coil shape, and put it in the sun to dry.

The summer sun is very strong, and the mosquito coils will dry up in a day.

At night, Ye Qing first took it to his room and tried it. After lighting it, it smelled like mugwort.

After waiting for about quarter of an hour, Ye Qing went back and checked carefully, and found that there were no mosquitoes in the room.

Ye Qing took the unburned mosquito coils to the backyard and put them in the cowshed.

There are the most mosquitoes in the cowshed, and several cows are bitten and feeling uncomfortable. I come here every day to light some mugwort, but by the second half of the night, there is no effect.

Ye Qing made more than a dozen dishes today, and ordered three of them first, placing them where the cows couldn't reach.

He then called out to the man who was taking care of the livestock and gave him the other plates, asking him to wait until the first three plates were burned before lighting these ones.

After giving the instructions, Ye Qing returned to the front yard and told Boss Ye about the mosquito coils.

Boss Ye was very interested. After dinner, he went to the backyard and walked around the cowshed several times. There were really no mosquitoes.

When it was time to go to bed, Boss Ye went there again, and this time the mosquito coil was burned out.

He ordered a few plates of leftovers himself, looked at the cows lying on the ground, squinting their eyes and sleeping, and went back happily.

He raised several cows in his family by himself. Seeing the cows suffering from being bitten, he felt bad too.

Now with mosquito coils, we no longer have to worry about the cows not getting enough rest and not being able to exert their strength when working during the day.

Ye Qing made some more and experimented in the backyard for a few days. After confirming that it was effective, he took the mosquito coils to the city.

I went to see Dr. Lin first and confirmed that it was safe to use in the room before I brought the mosquito coil back with confidence.

After returning home, Ye Qing gave some mosquito coils to his grandpa and aunt's house, taught them how to use them, and then went home.

Ye Dalang went to deliver mosquito coils to his two uncles' homes, and also delivered a few plates to several elderly people in the village.

Everyone in the village said that the effect was good, so Ye Qing began to consider whether to produce more mosquito coils.

Before Ye Qing could think clearly, Doctor Lin called him over.

During this break, he returned to the village. Liu Jing's family kept the house tidy, and he also liked coming back.

"Qingya, I used the mosquito coil you gave me twice in the clinic. Our shopkeeper is very optimistic about this mosquito coil and asked me to ask you if you are interested in cooperating."

Ye Qing was worried about the lack of sales and whether to produce in large quantities. This pillow came just in time.

Ye Qing wanted to make money. Many people could use this job and it was seasonal, so it would not affect the charcoal burning in the village in winter and all the people in the village could come to work.

She made an appointment with Doctor Lin to go to the clinic tomorrow to discuss cooperation matters with the manager.

The next morning, Ye Qing and Ye Lao Da sent Doctor Lin into the city and tried to find out what the Bai family was thinking.

As soon as I entered the clinic, I saw Manager Bai waiting at the door. He was also worried that the Ye family would not cooperate with them.

Doctor Lin introduced the two parties to each other and they greeted each other.

Manager Bai led the two of them to the living room in the backyard, where several managers were waiting.

Mosquito coils were invented by Ye Qing. Boss Ye just opened his mouth to say hello and left everything else to Ye Qing.

"Boss Bai, I heard from Doctor Lin that you want to cooperate with us on mosquito coils."

Shopkeeper Bai was a little surprised that Ye Qing was discussing business with him. After taking a look at Ye Qing, Boss Ye had no intention of saying anything. He put away his surprised look and began to take Ye Qing seriously.

"Yes, we have seen the effect of mosquito coils, and this is suitable for use now. We have negotiated a cooperation and can make a profit this year."

"Manager Bai, how do you plan to cooperate?" Ye Qing went straight to the point. To deal with these shrewd people, he had to follow her pace.

Shopkeeper Bai didn't expect Ye Qing to be so direct and tell him the planned cooperation plan.

"We looked at the mosquito coils, which are made of mugwort, and they don't look very difficult to make. We don't want to study the formula, so we just buy them out with ten taels of silver."

The smile on Ye Qing's face disappeared. She could make back the ten taels of silver by selling them for a few months.

"Boss Bai, at this price, it seems that you are not sincere in cooperating. Why don't we just forget it and talk to someone else."

After saying that, she pretended to stand up and leave. Boss Ye completely listened to his daughter and stood up as well, preparing to say goodbye and leave.

Shopkeeper Bai was anxious and stood up to stop her. "Little girl, doing business is all about bargaining. If you are not satisfied, we can talk slowly."

Ye Qing didn't really want to leave, so he sat back down.

"Boss Bai, I'm young and inexperienced, so I speak a little bluntly. Please don't be angry."

Shopkeeper Bai also acted like an elder, "Young people are full of energy, they just need to exercise more."

Ye Qing didn't want to beat around the bush. "I want 30% of the profit from the mosquito coils. I'll provide the mosquito coils, and you'll be responsible for selling them."

This was a share that Ye Qing had carefully considered. She had no sales channels. The Bai Family Clinic was well-known in several nearby cities. Her family had no one to protect them, so it was great for her to get 30%.

Shopkeeper Bai and several managers looked at each other and were a little undecided. The share was too high and they could not make the decision.

Ye Qing was not in a hurry. He said goodbye to Ye Lao Da and went to Ye Erlang's place. He hadn't seen his second brother for several days.

Ye Erlang was very happy to see them. The store was too busy and he was the only pastry chef, so he was usually unable to get away.

"Brother, do you want to find someone to help you? It's too energy-consuming to do it all by yourself. If you want to open a branch in the future, there won't be a master chef."

Ye Erlang also discovered this. This shop tied him here. As long as the store was open, he couldn't go anywhere else.

"Qingya, I'm so young, how can I accept a disciple?" Ye Erlang was not very confident. After all, he had only been an apprentice for a few months.

“Find a few young ones and train them so that what they learn can be put to use.” Ye Qing suggested.

Ye Erlang was still a little hesitant. The store was still busy enough for now, so he was thinking about it carefully.

There was no movement at the Bai family clinic. Boss Ye felt that they were asking for too much and the cooperation was not concluded.
