Chen Xia had to go back to Ke Town because the next day was July 1st, which was the first day of summer vacation for Chen Qiu and Chen Dong, and also the first day that 666 Weitai went on sale.
The ideal situation is to supply 200 pills a day, but it is unknown whether they can be sold out in one day. He is somewhat worried, and he feels uneasy if he doesn't go home and watch over him.
It was already very late when Chen Xia got home, and it was completely dark. After entering the house, he quietly took out all the appliances and snacks in the space, piled them at the door, and then took out the key to open the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Chen Fang washing clothes under the electric light, while Qiaogu and the others were sitting in a row watching TV, and there was an electric fan over there.
Seeing Chen Fang's face covered in sweat, Chen Xia thought that she was a really honest child and that he had chosen the right nanny.
When Chen Fang saw Chen Xia open the door, she called out in surprise, "Brother Xia, you're back?"
Upon hearing that Chen Xia was back, Chen Dong was the first to run out, holding a report card in his hand. "Look, second brother, I got 90 points in both math and Chinese this time. Is there any reward?"
Chen Xia was grumbling inwardly, "Shouldn't elementary school students get 100 points? This poor student is so satisfied with 90 points."
But on the surface, he still pretended to be happy and hugged him, "Old Four is awesome, come, close your eyes, I'll give you a gift."
After saying that, he brought Chen Dong to the door and said, "Okay, you can open your eyes now."
“Wow~~~~”
Chen Dong screamed and saw snacks all over the floor, all of them were foreign snacks.
After hearing Chen Dong's scream, everyone in the room ran out, and then more screams were heard.
Chen Xia waved his hand and said, "Don't just stand there. Move everything home. Don't let the neighbors see you, or you'll be criticized for living a decadent capitalist life."
That night, the Chen family also installed an 18-inch color TV, a refrigerator, and a washing machine.
The country girl had never seen so many "luxury" home appliances. She touched the TV and refrigerator one by one as if they were some treasures, her eyes shining.
Chen Xia and everyone else carried the refrigerator to the restaurant and taught the girls how to use it. Chen Dong only heard one thing: the upper compartment of the refrigerator was a freezer, so they could buy popsicles there in bulk and no longer had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them whenever they wanted.
The washing machine was a little troublesome to use. There was no running water in the plum garden, so Chen Xia carried the washing machine to the well in the front yard, plugged it in, and then pumped water from the well into the washing machine along with the dirty clothes.
Then he told them where to clean, where to spin dry, and where to set the timer, which amazed these country girls and they exclaimed that it was magical.
That night, except for Chen Xia, everyone was fascinated by the show and watched it until the TV station finished its work.
Early the next morning.
When Chen Xia was sleeping soundly, Chen Qiaogu came to call for help.
"Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia, hurry up and get up. There are a lot of people gathered outside the side door. Go and see what's going on."
The front yard is the living area and requires privacy, so Chen Xia specially opened a small door in the backyard of the plum garden. In the future, anyone who wants to buy medicine can only enter and exit through the side door.
Chen Xia shuddered. He looked outside and saw it was still dark. Could there be a thief? This was too blatant, wasn't it?
Thinking of this, Chen Xia took out an electric baton from the bedside, ran to the side door, and shouted outside:
"Who's outside? What's he doing?"
I heard footsteps, and then a lot of people answered: "We are here to buy medicine. When will you open the door? We have been waiting for half the night and are almost being bitten to death by mosquitoes."
Chen Xia was a little stunned after hearing this, and Chen Qiaogu was also a little confused. Why was buying medicine like burning the first incense stick in a temple, and they had to line up before dawn?
Chen Xia opened the door and could see more than ten people lined up outside in the dim light. He shone his flashlight and saw that many of them were old acquaintances.
Chen Xia was now completely relieved and jokingly said, "Hey guys, our health center opens at 7:30. You're here too early."
A middle-aged man smiled and said, "Why early? If it's any later, I guess we won't be able to buy the medicine. Didn't your notice say that the sales limit is 200 pills per day? We'll buy all of these."
"ah?!"
Chen Xia was really surprised. Even if the price of stomach pills had dropped, these 200 pills would still cost 800 yuan. Are these people really rich, or are they really sick?
But this is a good thing. Yesterday I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to sell all of them today, but now it seems that there won’t be enough to sell.
Chen Xia said cheerfully, "Okay, everyone who comes is a guest, but you guys have to wait a while while we wash up."
"Sure, sure. We'll just wait."
Chen Xia closed the door and told Chen Qiaogu:
"Hurry up and wake everyone up. Also, you'll be the only one who'll be charged for the medication later. Each pill will be 4 yuan. Put as many pills as they want in a small glass bottle and write the expiration date and dosage on the label."
Chen Qiaogu nodded and said, "Okay, this job is easy. I have no problem with it. Don't worry."
Half an hour later, it was already dawn and the Shangsitou Medical Health Center was officially opened. The first batch of "patients" were all gastritis patients. Now they have all been arranged in the backyard of the plum garden and lined up obediently.
Fan Leshan ranked first.
After receiving the news, he rode his bicycle from Yuezhou city overnight and arrived at Meiyuan at 3 o'clock.
As for why he came to line up so early, it was simple, because he was also one of the many "speculators" of this era.
He was also an educated youth who went to the countryside back then, and after returning to the city, he was unable to find a job.
As mentioned earlier, Jiangnan region did not discriminate against merchants, so he quietly became a middleman, buying low and selling high, selling whatever made money, and earning a hard-earned living.
During the years when he was sent to the countryside to work, Fan Leshan often did not have enough food, so he developed stomachache. Once, when his stomachache came, nothing worked. It was his friend, an educated youth in Ke Town, who gave him a stomach pill.
I took the medicine on the same day and it worked on the same day. It was amazing.
The clever Fan Leshan saw a business opportunity. Since the stomach pills were manufactured and sold in Ke Town, about 20 kilometers from Yuezhou City, he would go to Ke Town to buy the pills and sell them to stomach patients in the city for a fee of 1 yuan, earning a considerable monthly income.
Later, Chen Xia stopped selling medicine because of a report, which caused him to lose a lot of money. This time, he heard from a friend that Meiyuan was going to sell medicine again, so he rushed here early in the morning.
He was a smart man and knew how precious the medicine was. 200 pills were not enough and he could only buy it if he arrived early.
Chen Xia stood at the door of the pharmacy and shouted, "First person in, everyone, don't rush, take your time."
How could the people in line not be anxious? There are only 200 pills in total and if they sell out, their trip will be in vain. After all, every pill represents profit.
Many people secretly made up their minds that they must queue up in the middle of the night in the future and never be lazy because there are too many competitors.
