Traveling through the daily life of raising a family in ancient times

Chapter 192

Someone looked at the neatly arranged medicine bottles on the table and asked, "Little lady, are you here to sell medicine for the family?"

Song Yeqing shook her head with a smile, and said, "I know how to do medicine, and I did these myself. You can see, this is for treating bruises, and the effect will definitely not disappoint..."

The medicine must not only be good, but you must also be able to speak it in order to sell it.

However, in terms of sales, Song Yeqing was still no match for Ah Hua.

"I don't need to say much about the efficacy of this medicine. It's good to say after using it. It uses Panax notoginseng as the main ingredient, which reduces swelling, relieves pain and removes blood stasis..."

She counted down some things Song Yeqing had taught her when she asked her to help grind the medicine.

"This is in Fucheng, at the feet of all the Lord Qingtian, we dare not lie. If you take the medicine back and it doesn't work, then you take us to see the official..."

Under the recommendation of the two, several people who are in need of these medicines are also ready to move.

"Is this effect really as good as you say?"

"It just so happened that I hit my foot while carrying something. If it really works, then try a bottle."

"I heard you say it's so amazing. It's filled with this and that. How much does it cost per bottle?"

"Yeah, don't you want a few taels of silver?"

Hearing someone asking for the price, the people who just wanted to buy medicine also retreated and became vigilant.

The prefectural city is full of fish and dragons, and there are many swindlers. These two young ladies look at each other, so they must be swindlers, right?

Song Yeqing patiently answered these questions one by one.

Shopkeeper Huang also stood outside, verifying her identity.

When everyone heard that she was the owner of this shop, they were much less vigilant.

Regarding the price issue, Song Yeqing said:
"My medicines are not expensive. A bottle of activating blood ointment is [-] cents a bottle, and a box of flea medicine is [-] cents a box. A bottle of blood-stopping pills is half a coin, but there are five medicines in it. There is absolutely no deception."

The not cheap Panax notoginseng is indeed added to the blood-activating ointment, but after dilution, the content of each bottle is not too much.

It is also considering the lack of sterile conditions and the issue of shelf life, so the medicine is only enough to apply seven or eight times.

And these small jars were custom-made by Chen Changqi, Shen Qinqin's husband.It's only five cents a piece, which is considered a friendly price.

If only the cost is removed, then a bottle of activating blood ointment can earn about eight cents.

Also, the hemostatic pills sold now are different from the Linge pills sold to Weicheng Escort.

The audience of this batch is ordinary people, who usually have minor bumps, most of which are scratches, and do not need such strong medicinal properties.

The medicinal materials used are different, and the price is naturally much cheaper.

Speaking of Weicheng Escort Bureau, during the days when Song Yeqing went to Qizhou, Steward Wang in the city went to He Yanxin a few times, just to buy Linge Pills.

It is said that the twenty pills bought back last time saved several seriously injured people.

Seeing that there are not many such good medicines in stock, it is natural to stock up on some.

So Song Yeqing finished setting up the stall in the morning, and after returning home, he had to deal with the medicinal materials he just bought, and complete the forty Linge pills ordered by Weicheng Escort this time.

"Thank you for your patronage, please go slowly." Song Yeqing took the money, and Ah Hua handed the blood-activating ointment to the guest.

When it was almost noon, the people in front of the stall completely dispersed. After all, no matter how much you like to watch the excitement, you can't delay eating, right?

Although many people came to take a look around when they had nothing to do, there were still some people who chose to buy medicine after listening to their explanation.

Song Yeqing didn't expect that on the first day in the city, the business of seeing a doctor was not opened, but some medicines were sold.

In the shop, the shopkeeper Huang looked at the lunch box that the family had just sent him in embarrassment.

He hadn't asked Song Yeqing how to deal with lunch before, and he forgot to tell his family.So the meal he sent was only for him.

Harmful!I also blame myself for not being careful enough, and only now think of it.

He walked up to the two who were packing up their things, and said:
"Miss, it's getting late. Why don't you give Huang some thin noodles today, please go to the restaurant with Mrs. Hua for a light meal."

Shopkeeper Huang secretly felt pain for his small treasury while talking.

After all, Song Yeqing is his boss, since he wants to treat him to dinner, he can't go to a cheap restaurant.

Although the monthly payment of four taels of silver sounds high, it is not easy to support a family in Fucheng, especially his eldest son is studying in a school in the city.

Song Yeqing was stunned, and said: "Before we came, we had ordered lunch for the three of us at Lai Kelou, but we forgot to tell you when we got busy. It's my fault."

The previous two times, they came and went in a hurry, but now that they are officially here to set up a stall, it is really time to invite shopkeeper Huang to have a meal.

"What you said is that I didn't think carefully, and it's my fault..." Shopkeeper Huang said immediately.

On the other side, Ah Hua put the remaining medicine into the carriage and said with a smile:
"It's only now that I realize that my stomach is growling with hunger. Now I think of the dishes Sister Qing ordered in the morning, and the screams are even more joyful."

When she said this, she distracted the two of them from expressing their apologies to each other.

"You should eat more at that time." Song Yeqing was also a little hungry, so the movements of her hands were a little faster.

They had to go back to grind medicine in the afternoon, so they took the tables and chairs directly to the shop.

After asking the people from the shop next door to help watch over the carriage, the three of them walked to the restaurant.

During the banquet, shopkeeper Huang naturally couldn't sit still.

When he stood up for the second time to refill Song Yeqing's tea, she covered her tea bowl with her hands, "Shopkeeper, you're welcome, let's take care of ourselves."

Then he said to Ah Hua who was fidgeting because he was eating at the same table as him: "You eat quickly, I don't need to wait. We have to go home and get medicine after eating."

After Song Yeqing finished speaking, the two of them ate their meals properly.

Laikelou is a time-honored restaurant in Fucheng, and Mrs. Song used to like the signature dish here - salted duck.

Song Yeqing tasted it and thought it was very good, so she decided to buy another one and take it home for the children to eat.

Because there were only three of them, they didn't choose a box, but an inconspicuous location by the side of the lobby.

It was the meal time, and there were quite a lot of people, so Song Yeqing listened to these people gossip while eating.

After hearing some insignificant things, I finally heard an important news.

"Hey, have you heard that King Qi was defeated again, and he was directly beaten by the court to the ravine where no one could find him..."

"When did you get the news? I found it a long time ago! Where is Shangougou? It's a county town surrounded by General Jiang. It is said that he fled with a concubine..."

"What about Princess Qi?"

"I was thrown down by King Qi, and even the women in the palace, I'm afraid they have been escorted back to Beijing long ago."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you really are someone who is despised by God. This wife can throw it away as soon as she says it..."

"What I'm more curious about is how beautiful is the woman he took away?"
