She married a dying prince and she won three babies.
Chapter 26 Making Pills
"As for me, I'm planning to make a lot of money, so I can be generous with my monthly salary in the future."
"Really? That's great." Zi Yue was very happy when she heard that she could get more monthly allowance.
The girl is only fifteen years old, and even though she is precocious, she is still a bit naive.
"Okay, nothing is decided yet. From now on, you will all be my biggest helpers. I plan to make pills and sell them." Yu Yuanzheng finally told her plan.
"But there are all kinds of pills for sale in the pharmacy, and it's not easy to make a lot of money." Jiang Hua has been to the pharmacy many times and knows the situation.
"What I want to do is: I have what others don't, and I am better than others in what I have. Doesn't this make me money?" Yu Yuanzheng has many excellent formulas in his mind, and the efficacy is definitely better than the pills of this era.
"Okay, don't I have a shop that happens to be a pharmacy? Let's go take a look and buy some medicine. I'll try to make some first, and you can all follow me and learn. Then I'll teach the Liu family."
"Princess, if we do it in the palace, others will know." Zi Yue said worriedly.
"We'll do it quietly at night. Don't worry, I don't need to boil the medicine when making the pills, so there's no smell."
The two maids finally felt relieved.
Come to Minhe Street, Baicaotang.
This shop was Yu Yuanzheng's mother's dowry shop, and now it is her dowry.
But she never came.
After getting off the carriage, I saw people coming in and out, and business was pretty good.
"Excuse me, madam, are you here to see a doctor or get some medicine?" A waiter immediately came forward to ask when he saw a new customer.
"Waiter, is the shopkeeper here?"
"Madam, are you looking for our boss? He is in the back hall. Please follow me." The waiter saw that Yu Yuanzheng was well-dressed and did not dare to neglect her.
Invite the person into the back hall.
"Boss, there's a customer looking for you." The waiter shouted.
Hearing the shouting, a middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the main house.
He was wearing a navy blue gown, had a goatee, a square face, and a pair of bright eyes. He looked like a shrewd man.
It seems that my mother is good at employing people.
This person's name is Dong Shike.
"Hello, young lady." Dong Shike immediately greeted the host when he saw that he was the one coming.
When he went to the uncle's house to settle accounts with his wife, he had seen the young lady several times and recognized her at a glance.
"Don't be polite, Mr. Dong."
"Please sit inside, miss."
They came to the inner hall and sat down. Dong Shike personally poured her tea.
"Uncle Dong, does Baicaotang sell pills?" Yu Yuanzheng asked first.
"Yes, but not many. Pills are generally more expensive than prescription medicines of the same efficacy, so ordinary people generally don't buy them. Only some wealthy families will buy them."
Hearing this, Yu Yuanzheng frowned. If that was the case, then making ordinary pills wouldn't make much money. So, they could only focus on improving the efficacy.
For the same effect, if taking a pill only takes two or three days to show results, while taking a decoction takes half a month, people will choose pills.
"Uncle Dong, where do the pills in the store come from?" Yu Yuanzheng was not quite sure whether pills had been produced in a workshop style in this dynasty.
"Our doctors in the shop prescribe the medicines, and the guys make them themselves. We mainly serve the needs of our customers who travel far away."
"Oh, I see. So there's no supply channel."
"No, each pharmacy makes and sells its own medicine." Dong Shike answered truthfully.
"Uncle Dong, could you please bring some of the pills in the store for me to see?"
Dong Shike went next door and brought over five porcelain bottles.
Yu Yuanzheng looked at the label on the bottle and saw that it was mainly used to treat colds, diarrhea, promote blood circulation and relieve pain.
Then take it out and taste it.
I feel the formula is average, the effect is there but not significant.
If the prescription she prescribed could be made into pills with the same effect, it would definitely be much better than this.
With a clear mind, she also made a plan to enter the high-end market.
"Miss, are you a doctor?" Dong Shike asked in confusion when he saw Yu Yuanzheng's actions.
"I've read a few medical books in my father's study, but I can't say I know anything about medicine." Yu Yuanzheng just came to investigate the market today and didn't want to reveal that he knew medicine.
"Uncle Dong, please send the account books to the palace from now on. You should know that my mother has given me this shop as a dowry."
"Yes, Miss. Madam has already given instructions."
After returning to the palace, Yu Yuanzheng immediately wrote down several prescriptions and the necessary tools.
Some tools might not be available for purchase, so she drew a picture and asked Chunlei to go out and find someone to do it.
Chunlei worked quickly and bought everything except a few custom-made tools that night.
Jianghua and Ziyue were very curious. They had never done it before and wanted to see how the young lady made the pills.
"I'll teach you tonight, don't look so ignorant." Yu Yuanzheng found it funny to see the two maids eager to try.
This is physical work.
In order to avoid being discovered by others, they secretly made the pills.
The three women chose to do it in the inner room, right in front of the prince's bed, and waited until late at night when everyone was asleep.
Qingfeng and Mingyue served the prince well and left early.
The princess had someone build a small house for them outside the courtyard so that they could keep watch at night.
As long as the maidservants shouted quietly in the courtyard, they would be heard. Both of them were martial arts masters and could jump in without opening the gate.
But this matter cannot be made known to the public.
"Miss, let's get started." Zi Yue had already moved all the things to the middle.
Choppers, grinders, stone pestles, fine sieves, etc. for cutting medicinal materials.
Yu Yuanzheng planned to make the Bu Tian Da Zao Wan first, which she would prepare for Old Master Jin, and weighed various medicines according to the recipe.
"Ziyue, you're responsible for chopping the herbs first. We'll grind them into powder tonight. Don't complain about being tired."
The three women started playing ping-pong.
Shangguan Ziqi, who was lying on the bed, became aware of the outside world through this wonderful tinkling sound.
He had only regained consciousness, or rather woken up, last night after he fainted from the blood clots caused by Yu Yuanzheng's silver needles.
He felt his head wasn't as heavy as before, and as he listened to the three women talking, he knew what they were doing.
The three women kept talking about Mr. Jin's illness, and then they talked about him.
"Miss, I heard from Qingfeng that you drained a lot of blood from the prince last night. He was so scared that he couldn't sleep all night." Jiang Hua said with a smile.
As a grown man, has he never seen blood?
The two maids watched the servant serve the prince every day, and they became very familiar with each other in just a few days.
"Well, there's blood clots in his brain that are pressing on the nerves, so he can't wake up."
"Miss, what is nerves?" Zi Yue asked.
"Well, for example, you can cut herbs with a knife, but why do your hands do that?
This is because your brain is directing your hands, and this command is through the nerves that extend from the brain to your hands.
Your hand receives the command, and it moves according to your thoughts.”
"Oh I got it."
Shangguan Ziqi on the bed also listened to this sentence carefully, and then he wanted to give it a try.
He concentrated his mind and used all his strength to direct his hands to move.
