Chapter 927 The secret of the new drug is the preparation method
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
The celebratory drums sounded again, and Qin Xiaomi shouted down, "The Qin Family Herbal Medicine Workshop is officially open! Let's distribute celebratory cakes!"
"Wow, they're distributing wedding cakes! The Qin family is distributing wedding cakes!"
"Line up, line up! No cutting in line, or we'll become the second Kong family! How terrible!"
"Yes, yes, line up! Don't cause trouble, or you'll be publicly beaten by the clan chief and village head when you get back!"
The children in the town were both excited and scared. They chattered amongst themselves, reminding each other to be careful, and then rushed to the tables where the wedding cakes were being distributed to start lining up.
The village chiefs were still afraid that someone would cut in line and cause trouble for the village, so they kept shouting: "Line up, line up! No cutting in line like the Kong family! Anyone who dares to cut in line will be beaten! Even your parents and grandparents will be dragged out and beaten! Those who don't teach their children and grandchildren well, or who mistreat their granddaughters, will all be beaten in the ancestral hall!"
The village chiefs of all twenty villages shouted the same thing, and when the children's parents and grandparents heard it, they also scolded their own children. You have to admit, it made quite a big scene.
"Yes, yes, yes, we won't cut in line! We definitely won't cut in line!"
The children agreed and lined up obediently, while the first person in line had already received the opening ceremony cake.
"Wow, it's a whole set of wedding cakes! There are four pieces, each as big as a palm... Wishing the Qin family's medicinal herb workshop a grand opening, and may wealth come from all directions!"
The children were overjoyed, feeling as happy as if it were Chinese New Year.
The children's elders were also happy, but they still scolded the children: "Don't cut in line, don't cause trouble for the family!"
Zhong Baihu, who had been watching all this, said, "Deep down, he's still a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong."
But the Qin family woman was indeed formidable; she managed to reform the tempers of these villagers, who then spontaneously restrained themselves from provoking the Qin family, who were outsiders.
"Commander," his subordinate, the army doctor Lin, came over and pleaded, "Commander, could you please ask Qin Xiaodong if our army could try making this new deworming medicine?"
Zhong Baihu frowned upon hearing this and refused, saying, "No, that's not fair."
Doctor Lin was anxious: "But the prescription has been made public, and others will definitely make new deworming drugs to sell... Why don't you remind the Qin family that other families will rush to make new deworming drugs to make a profit, and ask the Qin family if our military camp can also make new deworming drugs? If the Qin family does not agree, I will give up and never bother you again."
As he spoke, fearing that Zhong Baihu would not agree, he bent his knees, ready to kneel down and beg the other party.
Unexpectedly, Commander Zhong strode towards the Qin family and said, "You're right, we need to remind the Qin family."
But Jiang Dalang had already given a heads-up.
Therefore, Commander Zhong only asked, "Should we send a message by carrier pigeon to General Liang, so that he can issue a decree prohibiting other families from stealing the Qin family's new insect repellent?"
Qin Xiaomi smiled and said, "Thank you, Commander Zhong, but this is a trivial matter. There's no need to trouble General Liang. Let them handle it."
"However, we need to trouble Commander Zhong to spread a word for the Qin family's herbal medicine workshop that anyone who makes the new deworming medicine according to the prescription will have to bear the consequences themselves and should not come looking for the Qin family."
Jiang Dalang also clasped his hands and said, "Commander Zhong, I'm counting on you."
His seniority was low, while Zhong Baihu was a genuine Northwest Army veteran who had fought in major battles and had extensive experience. Therefore, Zhong Baihu's words were more likely to intimidate all parties and he was less afraid of retaliation from them.
"Is this even a big deal? Is it worth asking you for a favor? I'll send someone to deliver the message right away." Commander Zhong immediately went to instruct his soldiers.
Very quickly, ding ding ding!
"Anyone who attempts to secretly manufacture the Qin family's new insect repellent will bear the consequences themselves, and the Qin family will not be held responsible!"
They shouted for at least a quarter of an hour, until the children receiving the opening cakes were covered in their ears, before finally stopping. The clerk was also worried that various parties might secretly produce new insect repellent and cause trouble for the Qin family if something went wrong. Therefore, he immediately wrote two documents, stamped them, and had Lü Pangsan take them to the Qin family's herbal medicine workshop gate and the town's notice board to remind them.
Ah Ling was getting anxious and ran to Qin Xiaomi: "Qin, what do you mean by this? Are you tacitly allowing everyone to make and sell new deworming medicine based on your family's published formula? How are you going to make any profit then? Aren't you just letting them profit for free?!"
Dr. You also had this concern, but he believed in Qin Xiaomi's abilities and said, "If Boss Qin dares to publish the prescription, she must have a winning strategy and is not afraid of all parties developing new deworming drugs."
Dr. You was dying of curiosity... What was Qin Xiaodong's family relying on? Could there be some undisclosed secret in the new deworming drug that prevents other parties from producing a new deworming drug with the same effect, even if they have the formula?
"Hey, little You, you're quite clever," Old Man Xun praised Doctor You.
Dr. You guessed correctly.
There is indeed a winning secret in the new deworming drug that no one knows.
The secret to this victory lies in the processing method of medicinal materials.
Although Old Man Xun wasn't entirely clear on the specifics of this processing method, the young master had told him half of it... saying that the current processing method of thunder mushrooms in the Great Wei was incorrect.
Therefore, as long as major pharmacies continue to use their own processed mushrooms, they will not be able to produce truly new deworming drugs, but will only produce useless drugs.
Only mushrooms from the Qin family's processing workshop can be used to make a truly new deworming medicine.
"Let them do whatever they want, there's no need to worry." Qin Xiaomi looked at A Ling and smiled, her eyes seemingly hiding schadenfreude.
"Hiss!" Ah Ling jumped, quickly grabbing Qin Xiaomi and whispering, "Girl, what's the secret to your new deworming medicine?"
Qin Xiaomi retorted, "Otherwise what? Do you really think I'm that generous?"
So generous that I let my enemies come and steal my money?!
After hearing this, A-Ling was finally relieved, but then she was still eager to know: "Dear sister, what's the secret to your new drug's success? Can you tell me?"
"Not so great. If you want to know, trade me your mountain's 'winning secret'." After saying that, Qin Xiaomi walked directly towards Grandpa Qin and Uncle Qin.
Jiang Dalang followed.
"Commander Zhong, this is your order contract. Sign and put your fingerprint on it, and our herbal medicine shop will give you priority in shipping." Uncle Qin was extremely busy, but when he saw Qin Xiaomi coming over, he complained, "Why didn't you have Zhu Xuewei and the others write more of this order contract? I had to write it on the spot!"
Qin Xiaomi laughed: "Writing it on the spot is great, it also allows Second Uncle to practice his left-hand writing speed."
"Good morning, young master. Second Master, the order contract is finished. It has been checked three times to ensure there are no errors or omissions. Please take it and use it." A very handsome boy of about twelve or thirteen years old presented the completed order contract to Second Uncle Qin.
This young man was one of the servants bought by the capital city, Shi Qiu, a young man from the Shi family.
He also has an older sister who is literate and is helping out at Aunt Qin's place.
"Okay, keep writing, write more, we'll need it for the next few days." Uncle Qin took the completed order contract, quickly checked it, and after confirming there were no errors, he used it directly.
He filled in the blank space with the buyer, quantity, order date, shipping date, total amount, deposit amount, and balance amount, then handed the order contract to Aunt Alan: "Eighth Chieftain, the order for the new insect repellent medicine in your mountains is ready. Come over and sign and put your fingerprint on it!"
"They've arrived." Aunt Alan, the chieftain, and Aling came over together to confirm the order. After confirming that everything was correct, they signed and pressed their fingerprints on both orders and took one of them.
The remaining portion was kept by Qin Family Herbal Medicine Shop.
