Only one hundred pills were produced, and production was stopped.
Jiang Zhi immediately went down the mountain and entered the city with Er Rui to personally deliver the medicine to Huo Family Pharmacy in Pingchuan County.
It's been almost a year, and Miss Huo the Second still hasn't returned. This time, it was once again the old acquaintance, Steward Huo, who received her.
When Jiang Zhi claimed that the new drug had antipyretic and analgesic effects, Manager Huo did not doubt it but carefully accepted it, saying that he would test the drug's efficacy before discussing further.
Medicine is not a game; every new drug requires a validation process.
Even though Jiangzhi's various granules are selling like hotcakes, they still don't trust new drugs.
The Huo family pharmacy had its own set of procedures for testing medicines, so Jiang Zhi recorded the main indications, pharmacological reactions, and side effects of the medicine and handed it over to the Huo family.
Manager Huo carefully put away the medicine instructions and said with a smile, "If this medicine can really cure persistent high fever as Madam Jiang says, then it is a life-saving miracle drug."
Jiang Zhi shook her head: "Hey, Manager Huo, we both run pharmaceutical businesses, so we should know that medicine can save lives or kill people. There is no such thing as a miracle drug in the world."
This medicine is effective at reducing fever, but taking too much can cause profuse sweating and heartburn. It's best to take it with thick rice water; you need to make this clear to the doctor who prescribed it.
Although the instruction manual had already listed the adverse reactions as much as possible, Jiang Zhi still explained them clearly once again.
Manager Huo smiled and said, "It is our pharmacy's good fortune to have met such a prudent person as Madam Jiang. We believe everything you say."
Unlike some people who spout nonsense and boast wildly.
Yesterday, someone brought in some medicinal powder, claiming it was a family secret recipe that could bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh from bones.
Jiang Zhi laughed. Such words might be acceptable for someone selling miracle pills at a roadside stall, but they were absolutely unbelievable for a leading enterprise like Huo Family Pharmacy.
Even if it really can regenerate muscle and flesh, it would still require verification by at least a hundred people.
After discussing the new drug, Manager Huo then settled the three months' worth of profit sharing plus the drug cost.
The total was eighty-six taels, which the Huo family had already converted into silver notes.
Steward Huo handed over the silver notes and said meaningfully, "The Second Miss's letter has been sent back again. She said that those powders are selling very well in the capital and she plans to build a pharmacy in the capital."
Jiang Zhi blinked: "This means... Miss Huo isn't planning to come back!"
Manager Huo smiled and said, "The Huo family will go to the capital sooner or later. Second Miss, opening a pharmacy first will allow you to build up connections early, and Madam Jiang's Zangchun Incense can also be sold."
Jiang Zhi's heart skipped a beat. The Huo family was still making medicine for the new army, and now the second young lady of the Huo family was opening a shop and setting up a workshop in the capital. Was she doing business or acting as an undercover agent?
However, what does this have to do with me?
I, an old woman, should just be a good researcher. Let the young people do the scary things!
"That's good. Now that the second young lady has opened a shop, I can share in the profits and make a fortune!"
Seeing that Jiang Zhi's reaction was calm, Steward Huo smiled and took out a letter: "This was brought back by someone from the Second Miss a few days ago. There is a letter for you inside. I was just thinking about when to send it to you. Today is just right."
Jiang Zhi: "...!"
What a convenient "just right"! If I speak ill of the second young lady, she won't give me the letter, right?
The letter was thin and sealed with an unfamiliar wax seal. Jiang Zhi didn't open it; she took it and put it in her bosom to keep it safe.
Errui went to the county government office, and Jiang Zhi didn't bother Dejin's family. Instead, she waited for him at Huo's pharmacy while drinking tea.
Bored, I watched as a man across the street, who had set up a herbal medicine stall, loudly hawked his wares: "Moneywort and silver moneywort, you can't even recognize them if they're broken into pieces. Soak them in wine if you have wine, soak them in urine if you don't have wine, and chewing them dry is also effective!"
Pfft! Jiang Zhi laughed.
This is probably what Manager Huo was talking about. That guy who wanted to sell a family secret recipe that could make bones grow flesh again was really shameless, eating from all sides, directly robbing people outside the pharmacy.
After Errui finished handing over his duties at the yamen, he drove over to pick up Jiang Zhi: "Mother! Are we still going to Rice Market Lane?"
Jiang Zhi got into the car: "I'm not buying anything, let's go straight home!"
Errui said "Oh" and drove off.
In March, the breeze was warm and the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, but Jiang Zhi felt as if she had a fire burning in her heart. As soon as she left the city, she took out the letter to read it.
The seal was very tight. Jiang Zhi first took off the hairpin in her hair to pry open the sealing wax before taking out the letter inside.
Her eyes narrowed as soon as she saw the first line.
"Dear Aunt..." This letter was written by Nie Fantian. The handwriting was messy and illegible, which showed that the writer was very anxious and excited at the time.
The letter was very brief, even stingy with just a few words, but it revealed an uncontrollable grief and indignation: "Those two despicable people harmed my cousin and uncle, and now they have finally received their just deserts, but it is impossible to undo their past evil."
As if afraid that his aunt might not understand the resentment and pain in his heart, Nie Fantian deliberately emphasized the words "bitch" and "retribution," making them seem to penetrate the paper, as if he wanted to convey all his resentment to his aunt far away through these two words.
"I am deeply grateful to my aunt for raising me. I will repay her kindness in the future. I hope my aunt takes good care of herself. Your nephew, Xiaotian, kneels in gratitude!"
Jiang Zhi held the letter, somewhat lost in thought.
While I was still making medicine on the mountain some time ago, Errui sent me a letter, which was delivered by the Nie family of Jincheng Prefecture through the post station.
The letter contained shocking information: Du Baolin and Xu Xiaolan had actually committed suicide in prison!
Before this, Nie Fantian had not taken any action against the two in Jincheng, and both the Nie family and he himself thought that Nie Fantian's revenge had ended there.
However, the letter from the Nie family stated that after he left, Nie Fantian immediately began to dispose of all the shops and properties under Du Baolin's name.
Not only that, Du Jinying was also driven out of her husband's family, and now the three siblings have no choice but to temporarily live in their uncle's house outside the city.
In other words, Xu Xiaolan's three children also had to live a life of dependence on others.
Upon learning that they had lost all their property and their children were homeless, Du Baolin and Xu Xiaolan, filled with remorse, committed suicide.
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Zhi couldn't help but feel a sense of sarcasm. Du Baolin and Xu Xiaolan were involved in multiple murder cases, so how could they be let go by Nie Fantian? He was probably just secretly investigating their assets before.
The letter from the Nie family was one thing, but what puzzled Jiang Zhi was that Nie Fantian would suddenly write a letter.
He even wrote in the letter, "Thank you so much!"
Nie Fantian did not personally express his gratitude to him, nor did he show such affection.
Could it be that she had a change of heart and was still grateful to her aunt?
Furthermore, Nie Fantian could have easily sent a letter through the government's messenger, but he instead had Miss Huo secretly deliver the letter.
Clearly, he was unwilling to reveal more about his relationship with his aunt in front of others, keeping it all mysterious.
Jiang Zhi thought about it for a moment. The male protagonist must have his reasons for doing this. She wouldn't guess if she couldn't.
Getting involved with the male lead always carries risks; becoming strong yourself is the best defense.
I should just focus on being a good farming heroine, and I'll be able to turn bad luck into good!
Jiang Zhi folded the letter and put it back into the envelope, then said to Er Rui, who was driving the carriage, "Xiao Tian wrote a letter saying that we should live a good life and that he might come back in the future."
