Song Zhiqing was surprised, "Is this still effective?"
Wenwen explained to her, "Nowadays, women with good conditions use menstrual belts, which is considered good, but it is also unhygienic. Even if you wash it every day, germs will still remain on it."
"Those days are also the most vulnerable to infection, and inflammation can easily occur. People in the countryside who are not well-off don't even use menstrual belts, and use wood ash instead to save money on toilet paper."
Song Zhiqing questioned, "These sanitary napkins are more expensive than toilet paper, right? Then the country folks can't afford them."
Wenwen nodded and said, "In theory, that's right, so we should popularize it in towns first, and then in rural areas." The raw materials are in short supply, mainly cotton, which is scarce now.
Wenwen thought that one day she should ask the commune leaders to come and discuss the development of planting and breeding industries in nearby villages. Now that industrialization has officially started, the raw materials needed are dozens of times more than the original ones. It is time to plan everything.
She stroked her forehead and said, "We'll try to make sanitary napkins more affordable for women. Right now, we can only supply them to the supply and marketing cooperatives in major cities."
You can only take the next step after you earn back your capital.
She stood up and said, "Let's go to the General Pharmaceutical Institute and see if the researchers are used to the equipment."
The news that Lijiawan spent a huge amount of money to purchase equipment in the United States has spread to the top leaders.
The military hospital in Beijing immediately sent several researchers to the General Hospital of Pharmacy to study.
The director of the military hospital called He Hongchi and stated that the first batch of medical equipment produced by the General Hospital of Pharmacy must be given to the military hospital first.
In recent days, all major hospitals have had the same requirements.
He Hongchi was so troubled by this that he finally didn't even dare to answer the phone.
After the production line was put into use, the pharmaceutical factory has implemented a three-shift system, with machines running 24 hours a day, and the production capacity of the pharmaceutical factory has made a qualitative leap.
Wenwen and Song Zhiqing had just stepped into the General Pharmaceutical Institute when they heard cheers coming from the laboratory.
The two walked towards the sound with doubts, and heard a few people couldn't contain their joy, "It's done, finally succeeded..."
After they changed their clothes and pushed the door open, He Hongchi waved at her and handed her a glass container. "The cholera vaccine was finally successful."
"That's great, congratulations." Wenwen said happily to the researchers.
He Hongchi pointed at the equipment in the room and said, "Thanks to these devices, I never thought that the problem that had been holding us back for months could be easily solved with these advanced devices. No wonder they say: sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood."
“Is this vaccine oral or injectable?”
"We have conducted repeated experiments and found that oral administration is significantly more effective."
"Okay, you should organize the information as soon as possible and put it into production as soon as possible. How is the progress of the 'meningitis' vaccine?" 'Meningitis' is the 'encephalitis' epidemic with a very high infection rate in the past few years. Now they call it 'meningitis'.
In the past few years, the number of people who died from meningitis infection reached hundreds of thousands, but this data has not been made public. If He Hongchi and his apprentice had not developed penicillin, who knows how many more people would have died.
One of the researchers said: "Progress is very fast, and I believe there will be results soon."
'Meningitis' is an infectious disease of the central nervous system, mainly caused by neurotropic viruses, purulent bacteria, and other pathogens. It is a diffuse inflammatory change of the pia mater.
Penicillin tablets alone cannot cure meningitis. In the past, we were unable to develop more drugs due to the lack of advanced equipment.
Now with advanced equipment, scientific researchers are ready to show their skills.
Wenwen looked at these ambitious researchers, noticing dark circles under their eyes, and said to them, "Work is important, but your health is even more important. Don't just dive into the lab and be reluctant to leave. Remember to balance work and rest."
"Master, and you, they are all young people, but you are different. You are older and can't endure it even more."
He Hongchi glared at her and said, "You're still talking about me, but what about you? I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't seen you come home."
Wenwen was helpless. "I'm just busy during this period. The food factory has already made arrangements, so I can have some free time."
"We have Comrade Xiao at the food factory. Don't you know his abilities? Why should you bother with that?" He Hongchi looked at her dark circles. She was talking about others, but her own dark circles were darker than anyone else's.
At the food factory, Xiao Heng asked Chen Yuelian to guide the production of instant noodles, and successfully produced packs of delicious instant noodles.
The only drawback is that due to the lack of raw materials, we can only produce large bone soup packets and sauerkraut soup packets.
But the taste is absolutely amazing.
Because the ham sausage lacks meat, it tastes good after being improved by Chen Yuelian. Although it is not as good as the one made with only meat, the addition of cassava flour, corn kernels and a small amount of pork gives it a unique flavor.
Pearl milk tea is also available in finished products, small packages of milk tea powder, which can be brewed in paper cups, which is very convenient.
There are also family packs without paper cups. There are 24 packs in a box, which is economical and delicious.
Those potato chips are a bit troublesome. Although there is a method to make them, I failed after trying several times.
I can only wait for Wenwen to deal with other things before asking her for advice.
"Uncle Xiao, how are the products of the food factory?" Wenwen's voice came, and she and Song Zhiqing came in from the workshop door.
Xiao Heng greeted him with a smile, "Speak of the devil, the devil will appear. The instant noodles and instant noodles are already finished. I've tried potato chips several times but they haven't worked. They're either too soft or too hard. I can't get the crispy feeling you mentioned."
"I know you've been busy these days, so I didn't mention it to you. There's no rush. I'll tell you when you're done."
Wenwen thought about it and said, "Today I'll make a pot of fried cassava chips. Soak the cassava in water for a day before slicing it. This way the starch content will be lower and the fried chips will taste better."
"Ah? Do I need to soak it in water? They are all sliced directly." Xiao Heng was a little annoyed. It was such an insignificant step that resulted in the food being unsatisfactory.
Wenwen comforted him, "Uncle Xiao, I'll do it next time you experiment. If it doesn't work, we can try other methods." There are endless snacks like Cheetos... but cassava chips are the simplest at the moment.
Xiao Heng nodded, "It's just that instant noodles and potato chips use too much oil, so it's hard to buy them."
Wenwen knows that material scarcity is the biggest problem right now. "I plan to sell these products to Hong Kong first, and then buy some cooking oil from Hong Kong."
She has already contacted Mrs. Ding, and with Mrs. Ding's help, several products will be available in supermarkets and shops in Hong Kong.
Xiao Heng was surprised. "Doing export business? Is that even possible?"
Wenwen nodded, "I've already contacted Mrs. Ding, it's not a big problem."
Not only food will be sold to Hong Kong, but sanitary napkins, also female products, are planned to be sold to Hong Kong.
If there is a chance, Su Anqiao could go to the United States, which would allow her to meet her family and see if she could find sales channels in the United States. After all, the Su family is a big businessman.
