Chapter 925 Purchasing New Drugs [2]
"Wow, even the military officers are buying medicine from the Qin family. This new medicine is amazing!"
"Good heavens! With so many people in the Liang family army, the Qin family's herbal medicine workshop must be making a fortune!"
"More than that, it can earn at least a mountain of gold... The Liang family army is His Majesty's confidant, and it was separated from the Northwest Army. Once the Liang family army uses this new medicine well, they will report to His Majesty, and His Majesty will issue an order that all the major camps in various places must come to purchase the medicine?"
"Since the Wei army has bought them, the government must buy them too."
"The government and military have bought them both, so shouldn't the people in various places buy some to use? If you do the math, wow, I can't even imagine how much profit the Qin family's herbal medicine shop can make!"
"Not only our Great Wei, but also many vassal states throughout the vast world. If the Qin family sells the new deworming medicine to these vassal states, a steady stream of gold and silver will flow into our Great Wei!" One of the students shouted this in the group of students, trying to show off his knowledge.
Upon hearing this, the villagers became even more excited and shouted towards the platform, "Master Qin, our village needs medicine from your herbal medicine shop. We're all neighbors, Master Qin, you must sell to us first!"
The loudest shouts came from the Cao family, the village chief of Caojiatun.
Old Village Chief Zhou glared at Village Chief Cao's family... "Latercomers, get out of here! Our Zhou family has the best relationship with Brother Qin's family."
Village Chief Zhou hurriedly called out, "Mr. Qin, our Zhou family village needs to purchase one thousand doses of the new deworming medicine from Qin's herbal medicine shop!"
Wow!
The villagers were shocked: "A thousand doses of new medicine, how much money would that cost? Zhou Lichang is really generous!"
Immediately, a student quoted the price: "One dose of the new deworming medicine is eighty coins, and one thousand doses is eighty taels of silver."
"Eighty taels of silver is enough to build two brick houses. Village Chief Zhou, don't be impulsive. Think it over before placing the order."
The villagers advised, including Zhoujia Village's Old Master Zhou, "Dad, buying a thousand portions at once will increase this month's expenses, and it might not look good in the clan's public accounts."
"Bah! Today is the opening of your niece Qin's herbal medicine shop. As an old friend, our Zhou family is only buying a thousand portions of new medicine, which is already a small amount. You still don't want to buy? How can you act like an elder? Do you deserve to be called Uncle Zhou by the Qin family girl?" Zhou Village Chief scolded his second son in public.
However, since the people on both sides were from Zhoujia Village, it wasn't too embarrassing.
Master Zhou hurriedly said, "It's because my son is too easily swayed. Alright, let's buy a thousand portions... Here's the deposit, Father, take it and place the order."
Master Zhou hurriedly handed over the silver notes. He only wanted to buy medicine in batches so that the clan's public accounts could be balanced this month. However, he was scolded by his father. Alas, he was truly wronged.
"Mr. Qin, my village, Lüjia Village, is also seeking to purchase one thousand doses of the new deworming medicine!" Chief Lü shouted, publicly seeking to purchase the new medicine.
Village Chief Zhou grumbled... Old fox Lü really knows how to behave; he only bought a thousand doses of the new medicine, not trying to outdo the Zhou family.
Master Zhao: "Young Master Qin, my Zhao family cotton shop is looking to purchase three thousand doses of a new deworming medicine for the Zhao family members, tenants, and employees of the cotton shop!"
Three thousand doses of the new medicine, two hundred and forty taels of silver, are affordable.
Master Dai: "Young Master Qin, my Dai family in the prefectural city is seeking to purchase three thousand doses of new medicine for our clansmen, the people in our various estates, and the people in our shops!"
Xue Mingyi also shouted, "Young Master Qin, my Xue Family Trading Company is looking to purchase five thousand doses of our new deworming medicine for the entire Xue family and all the employees of the Xue Family Trading Company!"
Five thousand portions would only cost four hundred taels of silver.
His younger brother, Li Zhiyuan, naturally chimed in, "The Li Family Trading Company in the capital is requesting five thousand doses of the new deworming medicine from the Qin Family Pharmacy..."
In the blink of an eye, the Qin family's medicinal herb workshop received an order for a thousand taels of silver. The villagers, students, and merchants were all astonished... They had witnessed the Qin family amass a fortune!
Slap! Slap! Village Chief Miao slapped himself hard in anger. He was so stubborn and useless at the crucial moment, letting so many people get there first.
Village Chief Miao hurriedly shouted, "The Miao clan requests one thousand doses of the new medicine from the Qin family!"
Miao Lizhang's heart is bleeding.
But the Miao family is one of the four major village chiefs. The Zhou and Lü families both bought a thousand doses of the new medicine. If the Miao family buys less, wouldn't that tell everyone that the Miao family is weaker than the Zhou and Lü families? Would the Miao family be doomed?
As for the Kong family, the village head is still in jail, and there is no one in the Kong family who can make the decision to place an order.
Today, Lei Village Chief and Shi Village Chief also arrived. They finally realized what was happening and hurriedly placed an order: "The Lei family of Leibao Town requests one thousand doses of the new medicine from the Qin family!"
"The Shi family of Junshi Town requests the Qin family to purchase one thousand doses of the new medicine for the Shi clan to use as a parasite expellent!"
Seeing the scene of everyone scrambling to buy the new drug, Ah Ling was filled with envy. Grabbing Ah Hei's arm, she said excitedly, "Sister Qin really has a way to make money in the long run, but she won't take us with her. If I had known this would happen, I should have pestered her for the past few months so that she couldn't leave us to work on her own."
Ahei was also impressed by Qin Xiaomi's ability to make money; this woman from outside the mountains was indeed very good at causing trouble.
but……
Ahei looked at Ah Ling and said with a smile, "Wife, your medical skills are also excellent, and you can also make medicine. If you concoct a new medicine, I guarantee it will sell better than the Qin family's daughter."
“Although I’m happy that you praised me, you can’t blindly worship me…” A-Ling looked at Qin Xiaomi and said seriously, “In every aspect, I am no match for Sister Qin.”
Ahei couldn't stand these words. He thought Ah Ling was the best in the world: "But when it comes to having children, you, my wife, are definitely ahead of the Qin family girl."
A-Ling's eyes lit up, and she nodded with a smile: "That's right, that's right. We're already married and will have a baby soon, but Qin-mei hasn't reached marriageable age yet. It will be a few years before she gets married and has a baby. Our child will definitely be older than her child, and her child will have to call our child 'brother' and 'sister' for the rest of their life."
The young couple were overjoyed, feeling that they had finally won.
The next moment, A-Ling also shouted, "Sister Qin, we mountain people also want to buy the new insect repellent. We'll buy 10,000 doses and trade you for valuable medicinal herbs or hides!"
Ten thousand copies?
The villagers were shocked by the number.
Families who wanted to buy just one dose of the new medicine to try it out dared not ask, fearing that the Qin family would think the deal was too small and wouldn't be willing to do it.
Dangdang Dangdang!
The servants of the Qin family banged the gong loudly, and after a while, the whole place fell silent.
Qin Xiaomi mustered her courage and shouted, "Thank you all for supporting the Qin family's new medicine. However, the herbal medicine shop has just opened and we are still short-staffed. You will have to queue to buy this new medicine!"
"besides……"
"Xiaomi, let Grandma say it, you mustn't say it." Grandma Qin jumped up and hurriedly interrupted Qin Xiaomi.
Let’s do it.
Qin Xiaomi shut up and let Grandma Qin speak: "The new deworming medicine from Qin Family Pharmacy has contraindications: pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children under four years old, and people recovering from serious illnesses should not take it. If any problems arise after taking it, Qin Family Pharmacy will not be responsible!"
Grandpa Qin then asked Commander Zhong to have the messenger shout this message for a full quarter of an hour, so that the taboo against using the new deworming medicine for pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children under four years old, and people recovering from serious illnesses could be heard by everyone present.
