058 Prescription Sharing
Three days later.
Sun Sicheng finally felt relieved.
After three days, everything was normal and the girl's condition had improved. She felt much better than before, which was a good thing.
Come to think of it, how could such a wonderful prescription be bad? It was just that some insignificant herbs were added after the Shuxin Pills, just to confuse colleagues, and it did not affect the medicinal properties at all.
As soon as he felt relieved, he remembered that the recipe was given to him by his apprentice. As a master, the Sun family had already received great benefits and would gain both fame and fortune in the future, so he could not let his apprentice suffer any loss.
The Sun family is not short of money, what they lack is a good recipe like this.
Isn’t it that what people compete for in medicine is good prescriptions?
There are many common prescriptions among colleagues. They are nothing special and every family has them.
But if you have something that others don't have, and the disease you target is particularly difficult to treat, then congratulations, you will become the envy of your peers, and many hidden benefits will come one after another.
Sun Sicheng was confident that these two prescriptions would bring a lot of benefits to the Sun family and Baicaotang, not just financially.
The Sun family has a simple population, and the prescription was obtained by him, so he can make the decision directly unless it is particularly important.
The agreement was written in two copies. After finishing them, he took Da Wu and Xiao Wu to the pharmacy.
Wan Changsheng was called back. When he heard about this, he waved his hands repeatedly, "Master, this is Ping An's gift to you as your disciple. How can you ask for money? You are not worthy of anything I say."
Ping An Min Min said: "Master, there is really no reason to ask for money for a gift that has been given away."
Mei Niang also said softly: "Young Master, please don't be like this. They are just two prescriptions, not worth anything."
Sun Sicheng smiled and shook his head. What a weird family! A good prescription can be passed down from generation to generation, so what is it worth?
There may not be much profit in the first two years, but in the long run, it will add up to a lot in a year. The key is to have it every year.
Even if he did not intend to set a high price for these two medicines, he still had to at least double the net profit. In other words, if the cost was 200 wen per bottle, the price of the medicine would be more than 500 wen.
"Brother Wan, the prescription may not mean much to you. If you really sell it to someone else's shop, they may even lower the price to you by several dozen taels. But for us at Baicaotang, a good prescription is very precious. Ping An is my apprentice, and I don't want to treat him unfairly."
One insisted on giving it, while the whole family insisted on not taking it.
Finally, Sun Sicheng lost his temper: "Brother Wan, listen to me. If you study medicine safely, you will have some money in the future. Otherwise, you won't even have the money to open a clinic. You need to buy medicinal materials to open a clinic, right? Where will the money come from? I am his master, and I have to consider him. To be honest, Baicaotang is not mine alone, so I can't say anything else."
Wan Changsheng was silent.
With his annual income of thirty taels and the need to support his family, how much could he save in a year? How much could he save in ten years?
He couldn't help his son.
Ping An quietly picked up the agreement on the table and quickly read it through. "Master, you wrote a 40% to 60% split. I'll take 40% and you'll take 60%. The cost of making medicine is not small, and there are many untold expenses. If you insist on me taking it, I'll insist on taking 10%, otherwise I won't take it at all."
The couple kept nodding and saying yes.
"Ping An, 10% is too little, at least 30%."
"Master, please either give me 10% or a few hundred taels of silver. I really can't take more than that, and my parents won't take it either."
Sun Sicheng thought about it again and again, and decided, let it be what it is. After all, he is his apprentice, and he will take good care of him in the future.
Later, we can ask Lao Ge to help buy them a small courtyard with two entrances in the capital city, and add thirty to fifty acres of good farmland, and that will be enough.
Soon, he rewrote the agreement in duplicate, and both parties signed and sealed it with the Baicaotang seal.
Ping An wanted Wan Changsheng to sign, but Wan Changsheng insisted that the contract be under Ping An's name, which made Sun Sicheng look at him with a higher regard.
In this case, the purchased house must be under the name of Wan Changsheng, otherwise it will be difficult to become his apprentice.
Sun Sicheng had selfish motives in putting the shares in Ping An's name. Baicaotang has been established for decades, and as long as it survives, there will be profits every year. After Wan Chang's birthday, he had his own children, so it's hard to say whether he is biased or not.
At that time, Ping An was the poor one who suffered the loss.
After signing the agreement, Sun Sicheng rushed back to Baicaotang without stopping and instructed Sun Wen and Lao Ge to go to all the pawnshops in the city to look for suitable houses and good farmland, and try to secure them before leaving.
Three days before the end of the month, he went to the Bai Mansion. Bai Jiaxuan was recovering very well. After three to five months of recuperation, he would be completely normal without any sequelae.
Magistrate Bai and his wife were so grateful that they burst into tears.
Sun Sicheng said that he would go to Jiangnan in three to five days, and would ask the doctor from the clinic to come and see him every few days.
When he left, Sun Sicheng took away the gifts and medical expenses that the Bai family insisted on giving him, and he had gained a lot.
He didn't want to accept these, but the Bai family insisted on giving them to him, and he was really not good at refusing.
Then they went to Qi's house again. The little girl was already able to play with the maids in the yard, and her face looked more rosy.
Qi Shanxing said, "Sicheng, you see Ping'er has gotten much better after taking the medicine. Do you think this medicine can cure her illness?"
“Uncle, it’s hard to say. If the condition is well controlled, you can be like a normal person in the future, but it’s difficult to cure it completely.
I still say that, take Shuxin Pills for half a month, and if the child doesn't feel uncomfortable, you can stop taking them for a while, but you have to keep the Quick-acting Heart-saving Pills with you at all times in case of any emergency. My second brother is in Huainan Prefecture, and he will take the child to the doctor every few days."
"Then I feel relieved. Sicheng, can you come and see the child before you leave?"
"Of course, I'll come back the day after tomorrow."
Qi Shanxing took out a purse and said, "Sicheng, I heard from your cousin that you accepted a disciple a few days ago. Unfortunately, I didn't catch up. You can take this back to your disciple. It's a token of my appreciation."
Sun Sicheng took it with a smile: "Thank you on behalf of Ping An."
Since his apprentice's family was not well off, he did not refuse. This cousin's family had been doing business for many years and their conditions were still very good.
Not long after returning to the clinic, Wu Min came unexpectedly.
Sun Sicheng took the man to the back hall and asked, "Cousin's husband, is there anything wrong?"
Wu Min sighed, "My wife saved me by the river in Huainan Prefecture. I was seriously injured and it was the end of the year after I recovered. I lost my memory again. Last time I asked you to give me acupuncture. I feel much better and my mind is much more relaxed, but I still can't remember anything. I still want you to help me."
Sun Sicheng took the small medicine pillow and helped him take his pulse.
"Brother-in-law, the pulse is still good. The blood in the brain should be gone. There are many people with amnesia. Some will remember after a short time, some after three to five years, and some even for a lifetime. It's hard to say."
Wu Min's eyes turned red: "I have tried my best to find clues in Huainan Prefecture over the years, but unfortunately I have gained nothing. I feel like I was blown here by the wind, without any roots or foundation.
Cousin, to be honest with you, every time I think of my parents at home waiting for their return, I can’t rest day or night.”
He was rescued in early August. He was studying again, so it was very likely that he was preparing for an exam. He must have been a scholar from Huainan Prefecture, and he tried every possible way to find someone in Huainan Prefecture.
Although he tried his best to help earn money in addition to studying, his income was not much. Finding someone required a lot of manpower and resources, and he couldn't ask his wife for help for everything.
One can only hope that by passing the provincial examination, the newly-crowned juren can still earn some money.
"Brother-in-law, look at this. After your provincial examination, it will be October. I should be back by then. I will give you acupuncture for a few days to see if it works. For now, you'd better focus on studying. I'm not sure if there will be any side effects from acupuncture on your head in the short term."
Wu Min stood up and bowed: "Then I'll have to trouble you, cousin."
