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

Wen Qingcheng was sitting at the table entertaining guests. She heard someone outside the door. She thought that everyone who should be invited had been invited, so who else might be there? She stood up and walked towards the door.

When he opened the door and looked through the lantern, he saw that it was Doctor Wang. "Doctor Wang, please come in."

"Madam Wen, I hope I didn't disturb you by coming here without your permission." Doctor Wang heard voices outside the yard and knew that she had guests at home tonight.

"No, you came just in time. We are having a dinner party. The pharmacy is finished today, so we are inviting the workers to dinner." Wen Qingcheng ushered Doctor Wang in. Ye Xiuying also stood up and squinted her eyes to look over here. "Mom, Doctor Wang is here, hurry up and move another chair."

"Hey, don't worry, I'll just say a word and leave."

"Why leave? Let's eat here. More people means more pairs of chopsticks." Wen Qingcheng led Doctor Wang to the table.

Wen Qingcheng briefly introduced Doctor Wang to the people at the table. Doctor Wang said, "I haven't seen Madam Wen go to Lianjitang these few days. I was worried, so I came here directly."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Wen Qingcheng asked seriously.

"It's like this. Didn't your donkey-hide gelatin cure a young lady's cough? The young lady has an aunt who suffers from anemia and has been taking medicine all year round. So the young lady gave her aunt a pound of donkey-hide gelatin. The aunt said it was very effective after taking it for a few days and has been asking around for more."

Everyone present was very happy when they heard this. Some people asked about buying, saying it was a good thing. The more orders they received, the more money they would make. Some positions offered commissions, which were calculated based on how many pots of glue they boiled or how many donkey skins they processed. For a moment, everyone was full of confidence.

Doctor Wang continued, "Your pharmacy is now complete. What date has been set for its opening? Please prepare as soon as possible. They are all wealthy families and need a lot. They also want to order more to send to their relatives."

"The opening is in three days. I asked someone to check the date, but production will start tomorrow. The official opening is in three days."

"That's great. Do it as soon as possible. I really didn't expect that this donkey-hide gelatin would be so effective. Many people are not afraid of spending more money to treat their illnesses, but they are afraid that the illness won't be cured after spending the money. Although this donkey-hide gelatin is expensive, it is nothing for some wealthy families. Ordinary people can afford it if they grit their teeth. As long as it works, people will buy it. Word of mouth will spread, and there will be more people wanting it in the future. You can't run out of stock."

Upon hearing this, Wen Qingcheng and Ye Xiuying looked at each other, and they were both very happy. A few days ago, Wen Qingcheng was still negotiating business all over the world, but was rejected by major medical clinics. However, in just a few days, things turned around and so many orders came in. Once the market is opened, there will definitely be more orders.

Ye Xiuying smiled and said, "Doctor Wang, we have just built a large glue boiling pot. Qingcheng said that one pot can boil ten donkey skins, and we can get thirty or forty kilograms of glue. But we have also received a large order from Kyoto. If you are in a hurry, we can give you some first and you can sell it first."

"Well, this is the best. They will ask around. If some big pharmaceutical factories find out, they will definitely do it, and then they will steal your customers."

Wen Qingcheng is not worried about this. She adds space spiritual spring water into her donkey-hide gelatin, so the effect is particularly good. If she uses ordinary pharmaceutical water to boil the gelatin, the effect will be greatly reduced, and the patients will be able to tell the difference.

"I have a secret recipe and they can't replicate it." Wen Qingcheng said mysteriously.

"Madam Wen, sometimes you have to be on guard. Those big pharmaceutical factories, relying on their old brands, often copy the drugs developed by others and put their own brands on them. This has happened before, and the county government has been involved in a lawsuit for a long time."

Ye Xiuying's face showed a worried look. Yes, their Wen family was just an ordinary family. They originally thought that making donkey-hide gelatin would not compete with those big pharmaceutical factories. They didn't expect that if donkey-hide gelatin became famous, they would definitely imitate it. People believed in authority, and then they would think that Wen's donkey-hide gelatin was plagiarized.

Those big pharmaceutical factories all have lawyers who specialize in handling lawsuits. How can a small pharmaceutical factory like Wen Ji compete with them?

Although Wen Qingcheng was not afraid of them doing that, Doctor Wang's words reminded her that she should register with the Qihuang Patriarch Association as soon as possible after opening the business and apply for a patent.

The men at the completion banquet drank, with Uncle Wen Zhuo entertaining the guests. Doctor Wang sat with the women, and after the meal he said goodbye and went home.

The women at the table didn't drink and finished their meal early. A few women gathered together to eat melon seeds and chat.

"I didn't expect that Wen's Pharmacy would be opened so quickly. From taking the junior pharmacist exam to decorating the pharmacy and designing the big copper pot, it would take someone else half a lifetime to accomplish this." Song Jiao looked at Wen Qingcheng with pride and praised. Wen Qingcheng was the daughter of the Wen family, and as an elder of the Wen family, she was also proud of it.

Mrs. Ruan laughed heartily and said, "Yes, Qingcheng has been smart since she was young. When I first married to Yueya Village, Qingcheng was only seven or eight years old. At that time, I felt that this little girl was very smart."

"Indeed." Mrs. Ruan also nodded with a smile.

Wen Qingcheng knew that they were all her friends and relatives. In their eyes, she was of course the smartest and most capable. However, everyone liked to hear good words. Wen Qingcheng smiled implicitly and said modestly, "This is all thanks to everyone. The success of Wen Ji is all due to everyone."

Ye Xiuying said: "We have a lot of orders now. We have to rush the order from Kyoto and the order from Doctor Wang. Let's start early tomorrow morning." Ye Xiuying was afraid of delaying the work and wanted to boil the glue tonight.

Wen Qingcheng nodded and looked at Song Jiao, "Aunt, how are the raw materials that my uncle contacted?"

"We have contacted two families, and someone will come from the town to deliver it directly tomorrow."

"Oh? Which store in town?" Wen Qingcheng was very happy when she heard that it could be delivered.

"It's not a certain store. We found a man in town who used to collect hair everywhere. He promised to buy donkey skins for us and then sell them to us. There are many such people. Your uncle is negotiating with them." Song Jiao was afraid that Wen Qingcheng would think that the price would be too high, so she added hurriedly: "Your uncle has agreed with him that a large skin will cost 350 coins, and a small one will cost 300 coins. We don't care how much he charges."

When Ye Xiuying heard that it was so cheap, she thought about how she had spent 700 coins on donkey skin for the first time, and she felt like a big complainer. She said regretfully, "Oh, I paid 700 coins for donkey meat at the shop in town."

When Song Jiao heard 700 coins, her eyes widened. "700 coins! Second sister-in-law, you've been ripped off. Those donkey skin dealers only charge 200 coins at most for one. If you sell it to us for 300 coins, you can still make a lot of money."

"Mom, don't think about it now. We just want one at that time, and it will be difficult to bargain." Wen Qingcheng comforted her. She knew that Ye Xiuying had been brooding over the fact that she had spent a few hundred extra coins.

Song Jiao saw Ye Xiuying's regret and said no more, "At least four skins can be delivered tomorrow. Your uncle also said that after the business is over, he will go to other counties to find a few more dealers who buy skins like this."

"That's great. Four pieces are not a small number. One piece of skin can produce about four pounds of glue, and four pieces of skin can produce sixteen pounds of glue. I will give a few pounds to Doctor Wang's clients first." Wen Qingcheng was delighted.

Ye Xiuying was also very happy. She was worried about the pile of orders, but now it was good. "Then we will start processing the donkey skins from tomorrow. It would be great if we could get more raw materials the day after tomorrow. For such a big copper pot, we must have more skins to cook."

"Mom, tomorrow I'll leave this place to you. My two sisters-in-law, you will start work tomorrow. The others can wait until the official opening day. I'm going to the county town tomorrow. I've customized work clothes for everyone at the clothing store before. Tomorrow it's time to pick them up."
