The fragrance of medicine is alluring, the farm elder sister is cool and cool

Wen Qingcheng came over with a cloth bag in her hand. "I ran into Aunt Song Jiao when I came back. She said our donkey-hide gelatin is delicious. She made some steamed buns today and sent us a bag."

"When I return the square plate, I'll bring some donkey hide gelatin to your aunt." Ye Xiuying took the steamed buns and asked with a smile, "Qingcheng, how should we sell donkey hide gelatin? I always feel that one tael of silver per pound of donkey hide gelatin is too expensive. How can farmers afford it?"

"We still have so much labor costs. When Brother Mo and Brother Axuan are not around, we can't do it with just the three of us. We still have to outsource the work. When we open up the market, we will produce on a large scale and hire workers. They are all costs. Besides, donkey-hide gelatin works quickly, so everyone thinks it's good and naturally doesn't think it's expensive. Many tonic medicines in the county are not cheap now."

"But, with so much money, other people don't know the effect. It's useless just relying on us to talk about it." Ye Xiuying said worriedly.

She was just an unknown peasant girl. Even if she knew some medical skills, she was best known for acupuncture and was only famous in the village. Now she made donkey-hide gelatin, which had never been made before in the Great Qi Dynasty. Who would believe it?

"I've thought about this. I plan to go to the county town this afternoon and put it in Lianjitang, and ask Doctor Wang to help me sell it."

"Yes, ordinary people would not think of buying this to take home, but if it is prescribed by the doctor, they will accept it no matter how much it costs."

"Yes, you think one pound and one ounce of silver is expensive. If each person only needs a few coins, then it will only cost a few dozen or a few hundred coins, which is acceptable."

Ye Xiuying's brows relaxed. If there is really no problem with sales, this is really a good business. Their family is full of girls, and Zicheng is the only boy. Even if they buy land, they can't do farm work. This way they have a business to make a living. They don't rely on anyone and can support themselves. If they can really grow bigger and bigger in the future as Qingcheng said, and let everyone in the village come to work in their workshop, that would be great.

The more Ye Xiuying thought about it, the happier she became: "I think it will definitely sell well. This is the essence of donkey skin, so it is naturally very nutritious."

"Oh, mother, today I told my aunt Song Jiao that you spent 700 coins on the donkey skin, and she said you paid too much. A large one costs 500 coins, and a small one costs 400 coins."

Ye Xiuying clapped her hands, "Yeah, when I was walking back, I regretted not bargaining with him more."

"This is our first time buying, so we don't have a clear idea. We'll know next time we buy. Since Aunt Song Jiao has a clear idea, it means she has connections in this area. After we sell these, we can ask her about it." Wen Qingcheng suddenly remembered and said, "Mom, when Brother Mo left, he left me a thousand taels of silver."

Ye Xiuying staggered, her eyes widened in surprise, she looked around, and pulled Wen Qingcheng into the house, "Speak softly, don't let others hear. This Chuyi is really something, even if he has money, he doesn't have to be so lavish. How can he spend so much money to renovate the workshop and invest in equipment?"

"I told Brother Mo that this counts as his investment."

"What is a shareholding?"

"It means that we all contribute money and effort to do a business together. He provides the money and we provide the house and the effort. Mom, you also have an important task."

"Me? I'll just shave the donkey hair and wash the donkey skin for you."

"You can hire workers to do these things. You have a more important task, which is to manage the finances of Wen Kee."

"finance?"

"You can think of it as an accountant."

Ye Xiuying laughed, "How can I be an accountant? I need to be able to read and write, and be able to keep accounts."

"You can learn if you don't know. I'll buy you a reference book. If that doesn't work, I'll find someone to teach you."

Ye Xiuying smiled so hard that her eyebrows were not visible. "Don't make fun of your mother. I'm already 37 years old. How can I learn to be an accountant at this age? I also need to learn to read. I can't do it."

"Who picked it up to have fun? What's wrong with thirty-seven? Thirty-seven is the right age to make breakthroughs. Zicheng can learn to read, so why can't you?"

Seeing that Wen Qingcheng was serious, Ye Xiuying took a breath and said, "Si...can I really do this?"

"Of course, you are my mother. With a daughter as smart and capable as me, how bad can you be? You just don't dare to think about it. I suggest that you must have dreams, no matter how big you can dream. Do you want to live a mediocre life? Don't you want to benefit your fellow villagers and contribute to the country?"

Ye Xiuying's blood boiled after hearing Wen Qingcheng's words, and she was eager to do something. The job of accounting is usually done by trustworthy people, so how could it be handed over to outsiders? If she could learn it, she would be able to help her daughter.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll learn to read first. When I can write some common words, you can hire an accountant to teach me."

"That's great, you are such a good mother. When Zicheng comes back and knows that you want to learn calligraphy, he will definitely be happy. Then let him teach you. He will definitely study harder in school!"

Wen Qingcheng considered that since they were going to be sold in the clinic, they could not just be carried around loosely like this, and they still had to be packaged. She sat down in the main room and together with Ye Xiuying, they wrapped the remaining donkey-hide gelatin blocks with gold paper and stacked them together, making them look like glittering gold bars.

"The plate is now empty. I'll return it to your Aunt Song Jiao and take a few gold bars with me." Ye Xiuying picked up the gold bars and couldn't let them go. "By the way, Qingcheng, how do you eat this donkey-hide gelatin?"

"You can ask my aunt to make donkey-hide gelatin cakes, donkey-hide gelatin eggs, and donkey-hide gelatin longan soup according to our recipe."

"Okay, I'll make a note of it. It's noon now, so I won't go over there. I'll go after I have lunch."

After feeding Wen Yuxue, the mother and daughter had lunch, and Wen Qingcheng found an exquisite box to pack the donkey-hide gelatin. After riding for half an hour, they finally arrived at the county town, walked along the familiar streets, and came to Lianjitang.

As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a strong aroma of Chinese medicine. To Wen Qingcheng's surprise, there were quite a lot of patients this time. There were seven or eight people waiting outside the clinic alone.

Wen Qingcheng walked in. A bald man in his fifties was concentrating on getting medicine in front of the medicine cabinet. When he saw Wen Qingcheng pushing the door in, he just looked up and continued to get medicine.

Wen Qingcheng hadn't been here for a long time, and the doctor had changed again. I walked to the door of the clinic and looked inside through the crack. Fortunately, Doctor Wang was there. The bald uncle who was dispensing medicine saw Wen Qingcheng peeking through the crack of the door and said in a calm voice, "Come here to get a number plate. Didn't you see that everyone is queuing up?"

Wen Qingcheng knew that with so many patients, Dr. Wang couldn't just ignore them, so she talked to her about the business first, and then she got a number plate with "eight" written on it. Seeing that there were no seats around, Wen Qingcheng stood in front of the medicine cabinet. Perhaps it was because of her occupational disease, Wen Qingcheng looked at the several medicinal materials on the table and began to check them.

"......Gypsum, Rhizoma Anemarrhenae, Licorice, Radix Ophiopogonis." Wen Qingcheng muttered to herself. The middle-aged bald man noticed her.

"Do you know medicinal herbs?"
