Suddenly he thought of another idea. Since 666 Weitai was subscribed by the pharmaceutical company, he could produce other pills, such as cough pills.
Respiratory diseases, especially coughs, are common diseases, and the people have a huge demand for medicines in this area. As the saying goes, if the east is dark, the west will be bright.
And to be honest, Chen Qiaogu and her colleagues only produce 200 to 300 pills a day. This workload is too easy and they have plenty of room to expand production.
Thinking of this, Chen Xia smiled and nodded: "This cooperation is fine, but I have a condition. My secret recipe requires some precious Chinese medicinal materials. Can your pharmaceutical company help me to purchase some?"
Zhang Guozhi didn't mind: "Leave it to our company. Just tell us which ones you want. If we don't have them, we can always go out and buy them."
"I want ginseng that's over 30 years old, and a century-old is even better. I also want winter and summer grasses grown on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, as much as I can get. I also want natural bezoar, natural musk, donkey-hide gelatin, tiger bones, and so on."
Zhang Guozhi was shocked. "You need so much? Is this what you use to make Weitai?"
Chen Xia said with a bitter face:
"Of course, due to the lack of raw materials, production can't be increased. Even though I sell it for 4 yuan a pill, I don't really make much money. If I couldn't bear to see the patients suffer, I would have set a higher price."
Originally, Zhang Guozhi had some doubts about the cost of Weitai, but now he is somewhat convinced.
Cordyceps sinensis is okay, it is a common Chinese medicinal material, but ginseng is different, especially ginseng that is more than 30 years old, the cost will go up.
In fact, he had no idea that Chen Xia was completely misleading by making this request. He just wanted to stock up on some precious Chinese medicinal materials such as ginseng and cordyceps before the prices skyrocketed, so that they could serve as a "financial product."
"By the way, Brother Chen, our pharmaceutical company needs your help. We need 20,000 norfloxacin capsules. Do you have any way to get them?"
"So many?"
"What's the big deal? These 20,000 pills are only a fraction of what a dozen hospitals in the region can provide, so they'll be gone soon."
Chen Xia was secretly delighted. The victim had finally given him money. "Okay, I'll go to the provincial capital myself. You can come to Plum Garden to see me next week."
Zhang Guozhi was happy after completing his mission: "Brother Chen is straightforward, it's a deal."
In the plum garden.
Today is a very meaningful day for the seven little girls in Qingfeng Village, because today is the first day they receive their salary.
While making medicine during the day, everyone had imagined countless times what they would buy after getting the money.
While rolling the meatballs, Chen Chunyu was planning:
"Didn't Fourth Grandpa tell us to leave half for us? When I get my salary, I'm going to buy a Dacron skirt. Shufen, what are your plans?"
Chen Shufen waved her hands: "See, I have nothing on my hands. I'm saving up to buy a watch. I can't afford something like Sister Chun, so I want to buy a Shanghai brand. If I wear a watch, I'll be looked at with more respect when I find a partner in the future, right?"
"Haha, Shufen, you are so shameless."
"What are you ashamed of? Do you still want to go back to the countryside, marry a farmer, have a few children, and work in the fields and harvest rice every day? I don't want to live that kind of life anymore. Look at the life of Xiaoxia and the other city people. This is what life is like."
After these words were spoken, several girls became thoughtful, even the youngest Chen Zhen was thinking about this problem.
Now I have a ceiling fan at work, I can watch color TV at night, and if I’m interested, I can go to the cinema to watch a movie. Life is so comfortable.
What was there in the countryside? Rural people didn’t even have electric fans, let alone televisions. Having seen the dazzling world outside, they could never go back.
"Sister Qiao, what do you want to buy?"
Chen Qiaogu smiled and said, "As for me, apart from handing over my first month's salary to my family, I used the rest to buy a few packs of cigarettes for my grandfather and father, some nice clothes for my grandmother and mother, and some candy for my younger brothers and sisters."
Chen Qun said in surprise, "If you buy so many, won't all your money be spent in one go?"
"Yeah, spend it all. That's the kind of feeling we want. In the past, we had to think for ages before buying something worth just a few cents. Now we have a rare opportunity to enjoy the feeling of spending a fortune, so of course we can't miss it. Besides, we'll have a fixed income every month, so it's not too late to save more."
This proposal excited everyone.
Seeing Chen Fang picking vegetables nearby, Chen Qiaogu asked, "Xiaofang, what are you going to do with this money?"
"Me? I plan to give all the money to my father. You all know my family's financial situation. We still owe a lot of debts."
If the seven sisters of the Chen family still have their own thoughts, then the three temporary college students are a little worried.
This summer, they felt very embarrassed to follow Chen Chunlai to his house and "eat and drink for free", so they took the initiative to ask to join the "pharmaceutical workers" team.
Because of the joining of these three people, the sales of Sanliu Weitai increased from 200 pills a day to 300 pills, which means an extra profit of 400 yuan a day.
But they had stated in advance that their help was voluntary. But now when I heard a few girls discussing a monthly salary of 50 yuan, I felt a little jealous.
Shen Huishan whispered, "Do you think Chen Xia will pay us wages?"
Fang Meizhen said uncertainly: "I don't think so. We are living and eating here for free, so it's only natural that we can help out."
Zhan Aiju rolled the meatballs and said, "Stop daydreaming and get to work. Chen Xia isn't a stingy person. Did you forget about the New Year's money last year?"
Shen Huishan and Fang Meizhen immediately stuck out their tongues in embarrassment, feeling ashamed of their greed.
When Chen Xia came back in the evening, he wanted to laugh when he saw that the girls were a little absent-minded while eating, but he just didn't say anything, trying to make them anxious to death.
Sure enough, the group of people who usually laughed and joked while eating were particularly quiet today.
Chen Xia didn't gather everyone together until after dinner and the "News Broadcast" was over.
"Come on, it's time to get your salary."
Several little girls screamed and ran over quickly to sit together.
There were several envelopes on the table, with everyone's name written on them. Chen Xia read them out one by one, and the girls stood up and took them.
Everyone's face turned red with excitement, and they were obviously very happy.
She took the envelope and ran out immediately, as if someone was going to snatch it away. Country girls are so petty.
Chen Xia was still teasing from behind: "Slow down, slow down, don't fall, we don't produce bone-breaking pills."
When all seven envelopes were distributed, Zhan Aiju and the others swallowed their saliva. There were still three envelopes on the table, which meant that they also had a share.
Sure enough, Chen Xia called out again, "Classmate Zhan Aiju, come and take it. Classmate Fang Meizhen, why are you standing there like an idiot? Hurry and take it. Here, this belongs to classmate Shen Huishan."
The three girls' eyes lit up.
