Chapter 996 The First Snow
As soon as the medicines from Fengwu Pharmaceutical Factory were finished, they were quickly shipped to pharmacies across the country.
There are more than a dozen types of diseases, including wind-cold type, wind-heat type, and cold-damp type.
In order to make the medicine affordable for more people, the price was not set high, and people who got the news came to buy the medicine.
Mild cases can be cured with twenty or thirty cents, and even severe cases will not cost more than two taels of silver.
This can be said to be very affordable for those pharmacies that require at least a dozen taels of silver as a base.
For a while, long queues formed in front of the drugstore, and most of them were people wearing old and patched clothes.
At first, everyone was skeptical about the effectiveness of the medicine, after all, the price of the medicine was too cheap, but many people bought it and used it.
Not only did the cold heal, but some old illnesses were also alleviated, which gave everyone hope.
There were even more people waiting at the door of Huimin Pharmacy, which made other pharmacies jealous.
They thought they could make a fortune during the peak period of colds and flu, but now, everyone has gone to Huimin Pharmacy to buy medicine, and their clinic and pharmacy have become deserted.
The angriest person was Han Mulei, as the pharmacy was also a relatively profitable business under his name.
I thought I could make more money during this period, but after Huimin Pharmacy released its special medicine, business became slow.
Other pharmacies could no longer sit still and came to Huimin Pharmacy one after another, hoping to purchase some finished medicines from him.
In order to enable people to buy medicines quickly, Huimin Pharmacy gave up 30% of its profit on the original price.
This is a pleasant surprise for the pharmacies that come to purchase goods.
They all come here to buy cold medicine and sell it back home. The effect is really good, but it’s a pity that it is sold too cheaply.
I can't raise the price, otherwise people will go to Huimin Pharmacy to buy it.
As a result, the cheapest cold medicine ever appeared in major pharmacies, and it was also the most popular product among the people.
The news quickly reached the palace. The emperor was extremely happy when he heard about it. Chen'er put the safety of the people first. Nothing could make him more gratified than this.
Even the court officials admired him from the bottom of their hearts. Logically speaking, this was an excellent opportunity to make a profit.
Not only did King Chen not take the opportunity to make huge profits, but he reduced his profits instead. This kind of vision is not something that ordinary people can do.
But there were also those who sneered, including the Queen and Han Mulei.
Such a good opportunity to make money, but he doesn't even take advantage of it. That little bastard is just being generous even though he is poor.
But they seemed quite happy, as they wouldn't make much money no matter how much they sold.
What's more, the pharmacy under their name also purchased goods and made some profit.
Only Marquis Yongning was clear in his mind. Listening to the people's praise of King Chen, King Chen was afraid that his weight in the hearts of the people would become more and more important.
The second prince's chances of ascending the throne are becoming increasingly difficult.
As pharmacies everywhere were doing a booming business, Fengwu's pharmaceutical factory became increasingly busy.
In order to increase production, we implemented a two-shift system and started working day and night.
In order to control the quality of the medicine and also out of concern for his nephew, Old Sun brought his two sons to help as soon as he finished his work.
This also gave Feng Wu a lot of relief.
The busiest people these days are Emperor Beihan and Xiao Shitou.
I spend all day helping everyone install furnaces, motors and engines, and I'm always on the front line.
Not only did Emperor Beihan and Xiao Shitou put aside their noble status, but even Eunuch Xishan put aside his ups and downs and worked with them all day long.
If no one told them, no one would be able to tell that they were royals of noble status.
My skin is dark all day long, and even my lips are chapped because I stay outside for too long.
From installing the engine to installing the electric motor, he not only followed others' instructions personally, but also took notes.
For fear of any mistakes, I even drew a blueprint to avoid making mistakes when installing it.
Even the secret guards protecting the surroundings were called out, and they worked hard all day long, acting as the main force.
This made Feng Er and Xu Zhele very happy. Someone would do everything for them, and they could just stand there with their hands on their hips and give orders all day long.
Seeing that he was not needed here, Han Muchen started to busy himself with farming.
As soon as the ground temperature in the greenhouse rises, I lead everyone to start growing vegetables.
These days, the division of labor has been clear, and everything is proceeding in a tense and orderly manner.
Qin Chuchu has the most free time, but it's a bit boring, except when she sees her father and others during meals.
Moreover, each of them was dirty and looked like unearthed cultural relics, and they were too tired to talk to her.
I wanted to hang out with them for a whole day, but I ran back after a while because it was too cold and I couldn't stand outside.
Occasionally, I would go to the greenhouse and hang out with the living devil for a day, and get some roasted sweet potatoes or something.
Finally, on the seventh day, all the furnaces in the one thousand greenhouses were installed, and Beihan Huang and his team successfully completed their training.
I have memorized the entire installation process firmly.
Now that the motor and engine have been built, there is no place left.
The next morning, he couldn't wait to lead the convoy back.
"Father, have a safe journey. Remember to write me a letter when you get home."
Qin Chuchu waved goodbye to Beihan Huang and the others reluctantly.
I left after only staying for a few days, and I didn't see him every day. I felt reluctant to let him go.
"Okay, it's cold, you guys go back! Father will come again when he's free!"
Emperor Beihan also waved to his daughter reluctantly, but he was very happy in his heart, especially when he saw the carts of things behind him, he could not stop smiling.
This trip was not in vain, I gained a lot. It seems that I should come here more often in the future when I have nothing to do. My daughter must take advantage of me.
When he returned to Beihan Country with his convoy, he and everyone started working again, but that is a story for later.
After seeing off Emperor Beihan and his men, things got busy at the base.
Han Muchen led everyone to start growing vegetables. Except for the variety planted in Greenhouse No. 1, the others were mainly beans and cucumbers.
Within two days, all the greenhouses were planted, and the next step was the maintenance stage.
Each greenhouse is staffed with four people working in two shifts to monitor the temperature of the greenhouse. Once the temperature drops, they start burning the furnace to try to maintain a constant temperature.
Feng Yi led everyone to continue digging the pit, Feng San was still in charge of the glass factory, and Feng Si went to the market as usual every day to manage the silver bank.
Feng Wu and Old Sun were busy in the pharmaceutical factory all day long, while Feng Liu and Feng Qi ran around their master.
Feng Er and Xu Zhe are the ones who have the most free time. Since the greenhouse is still in the trial stage, there is no need to produce furnaces.
There is also no need to produce engines and motors anymore. It can be said that the two of them are now the most idle people in the entire Far North except Qin Chuchu.
Xu Zhe finally had the leisure to study other things. Feng Er was also very interested and had been busy working beside him these days.
Qin Chuchu was still an idle person. Sometimes she would go to the greenhouse, and sometimes she would go to class with April. The days passed one by one, and finally the first snow in three years came.
