Yang Hewei went to the county town yesterday and invited an old friend who worked at the salt field to have a meal together. The cooperation was reached. He stayed there for one night and came back the next day carrying 20 kilograms of salt.
His wife Li Li and Qiao Zhiyi were both very surprised.
Yang Hewei said: "I have reached a cooperation with the county salt field. If we need salt in the future, we can go there to get it..."
In fact, there is overproduction now, not only in the salt industry, but also in other industries, such as cotton and cloth.
However, because it was a planned economy, the controls were very strict and ordinary people had to buy with coupons. On the one hand, there was excess production capacity, and on the other hand, there was huge market demand. This was bound to become an irreconcilable contradiction at present and in the future, and it also meant that social and economic reforms were imperative.
But now that the problem of coarse salt has been solved, the hot omelet can be sold.
Not long after, the captain of the Meixi Brigade came to buy medicinal materials for the hot pot.
Because the team leader learned that Qiao's father's old back pain had greatly improved, he asked and found out that the Qiao family was using the hot medicine packs made by Qiao Zhiyi. When the team leader heard Qiao's father and son say how good the medicine packs were, he was very tempted. When Qiao Zhiyi came home that day, the team leader asked Qiao Zhiyi for the prescription, thinking that he would buy it when he had time.
Just now, I took a break from my busy schedule to come to the commune to buy some things and some medicinal herbs. As a result, I ran into Qiao Zhiyi who was working here.
The captain was naturally happy.
Qiao Zhiyi quickly prepared the medicine for him, along with coarse salt.
This medicine requires a large amount of coarse salt. In order to make it affordable for farmers, Yanghetang sells it at a reasonable price of eight cents per catty.
Moreover, coarse salt can be reused four or five times, which is very cost-effective.
After giving the captain three packets of medicine to try first, Qiao Zhiyi taught him how to use it, "This is made with coarse salt. Be careful not to eat coarse salt as table salt. When you go back, heat the loose salt in a pot and put it in a large cloth bag.
This bag is about 30 centimeters wide from side to side and 20 centimeters wide from top to bottom. It can be made of coarse cotton cloth. Sew three sides tightly, leaving one side unsewn to hold the salt. Leave the unsewn side a little longer so it can be folded over to prevent the salt from leaking out.
Qiao Zhiyi's instructions were very detailed, but the captain didn't quite understand. "It's okay, I'll go back and ask your parents how to do it..."
"That's fine."
Qiao Zhiyi added, "This coarse salt is mixed in a 1:1 ratio, meaning the amount of herbs is the same as the coarse salt. This coarse salt can be reused several times. If you notice that the coarse salt turns black or has a strange smell, you can no longer use it, as this may be a sign of bacterial growth, leading to infection..."
“I understand, I understand…”
The team leader gave him 38 cents and left with three days' supply of medicine and salt.
In fact, it would be best to provide a cloth bag when selling medicine kits, but their small shop does not have the conditions for that now, so they can only let customers go home and get useless rags of clothes to cut and make them themselves.
In order to make it easier for everyone to make the products, Qiao Zhiyi drew the production process when he had time and posted it on the wall so that people who came to buy would have an idea of what to do.
Next, Qiao Zhiyi and Li Li prepared medicine according to different symptoms behind the counter to make it easier to sell. Yang Hewei wrote a promotional advertisement for the hot-packaged medicinal materials with a brush and posted it at the door to tell the surrounding residents what Yanghetang had launched for sale.
Qiao Zhiyi looked at it but was not satisfied.
Because there are many illiterate people nowadays, not everyone can understand a bunch of words written on it, so she added illustrations to the promotional text.
Qiao Zhiyi has strong painting skills, and promotional illustrations are a piece of cake for her. She finished the drawing in a short time. Yang Hewei and his wife applauded after seeing it.
Because the painting is so good, for example, the character's back pain, stomachache, etc. are all clearly drawn at a glance, and with just a few simple strokes, you can see Qiao Zhiyi's solid skills.
Yang Hewei secretly thought that Qiao Zhiyi was indeed a well-rounded talent! Not only was he an excellent doctor, he was also well versed in business.
Qiao Zhiyi certainly knows how to advertise, but the domestic economy is closed now and there is no awareness of advertising.
She also asked Yang Hewei to put up additional explanations next to each character's symptoms, such as what kind of disease it is specifically used for, and to use a larger font to highlight the efficacy of the hot pot.
This hot bun is suitable for symptoms such as menstrual pain, joint discomfort, cervical discomfort, waist discomfort, stomach pain, indigestion, stomach bloating, and lochia discharge. It is accompanied by picture descriptions so that residents passing by can see it at a glance and will be attracted to it according to their own conditions.
Yang Hewei immediately went to get additional explanations.
Yang Hewei's calligraphy is very good. The characters are like a moving dragon and are very beautiful. But Qiao Zhiyi doesn't let him show off his skills. She wants the characters to be neat and straight.
As soon as this promotion was posted, it immediately attracted a lot of people to come into the store and ask questions.
When Qiao Yufei came back from the brigade, he heard from the brigade leader that Qiao Zhiyi had come to work at Yanghetang, so he brought a watermelon to visit her today and cut some for the Yang couple to eat.
Of course, as an older brother, he also supports his sister's work.
In order to support his sister's work, he actively promoted Yanghetang where Qiao Zhiyi worked. Of course, he went to the glass factory to promote it. He also bought some hot buns to give to his leader to flatter him.
The leader's cervical spondylosis problem has been going on for a while. He often frowns in pain and sometimes can't sit still during meetings. After listening to the third brother's description, Qiao Zhiyi gave him the right hot pot buns and also provided a cloth bag.
Qiao Zhiyi also knew that Qiao Yufei would not be able to make cloth bags extra, so she prepared ready-made ones.
At the same time, she said to her third brother, "The hot buns are effective for cervical spondylosis for a while, but if you want to relieve it in the future, have your leader come here to find me."
