MTL - Song Tan Jishi-Chapter 445 The Miracle of Honey
Guo Dong agreed very readily, but there is an old saying: A fall into a trap will give you a wisdom.
For example, now, she was preparing to go up the mountain with Qiao Qiao in the scorching sun, when she suddenly asked vigilantly, "How do you sell your honey?"
Jojo joyfully raised a finger: "One thousand yuan a bottle."
"A bottle is..." Guo Dong couldn't help looking at the one, ah no, half a bottle of honey on the shelf in the middle of the living room.
Qiao Qiao's eyes also followed: "Doctor sister, have you found out? That's it, a bottle of 500 grams."
Guo Dong's eyes darkened.
"Thanks."
She sat down calmly: "I don't think I deserve it."
If you want to release ordinary people, the focus of sales at the moment must be on what you get for what you pay for, but Qiao Qiao is different. He just sat down curiously, and asked, "Why is it not worthy?"
"Because I have no money."
Guo Dong said vicissitudes.
"1000 yuan is only a small bottle of honey - do you know what I want to buy honey?"
"What are you doing?"
As a suitable supporter, Qiao Qiao will never make the guests lonely and talk to themselves.
At this moment, his eyes seeking knowledge somewhat relieved the anxiety in Guo Dong's heart.
She let out a long sigh, and patiently explained to Qiao Qiao:
"I bought this honey to make honey pills. To make honey pills, you have to refine the honey before taking the pills. I don't use much old honey here, and it's enough to practice medium honey—but even a bottle of medium honey will be lost. 1/10."
"That is to say, for 500 grams of honey, I finally got 450 grams of medium honey."
"However, the ratio of honey to medicinal materials is generally 1.5:1. Then, 1,000 yuan of honey is only mixed with 300 grams of medicinal powder."
"How much will the price of my medicine be increased?"
"The patient who buys medicine is not an idiot. I am a serious Chinese medicine doctor, and I have to write clearly when prescribing prescriptions. Can't they prescribe medicine wherever they want?"
Now people can make decoction, help with granule preparation, and also make ointment by rubbing pills...
"so…"
Guo Dong could only shake his head heavily at this moment: "I really can't afford it."
Jojo has received a lot of new news and is sitting there thinking.
After a while, he suddenly asked: "Then sister doctor, don't you have any rich patients?"
Guo Dong was taken aback.
But I saw Qiao Qiao counting with her fingers: "Just like the aunts in our vegetable market, they are only willing to buy wild vegetables, but they are not willing to buy tea. My sister said that the concept of consumption is different."
"But for some customers, it seems that they don't need money to buy tea, but it's refreshing! Vegetables cost 20 yuan a catty, and tea leaves cost 10,000 yuan a catty. Your medicine can't be 20 yuan a piece, and 10,000 yuan a piece." ?"
Guo Dong had a "puchi" joy.
She thought to herself, if I sell a medicine for 10,000 yuan, what will I have to sell? Da Huan Dan?
But after thinking about it, what Qiao Qiao said makes sense!
There are always some high-end customers who neither care for nor trust cheap medicinal materials.
Speaking of which, this expensive golden cherry seed is paired with expensive honey rubbed into a pill, and the price is a bit more expensive... There seems to be nothing wrong with it?
"yes."
Jojo nodded, and said with a solemn metaphor: "It's like Ultraman only needs biubiubiu to deal with small monsters. To deal with particularly large monsters, you need the power of light!"
Guo Dong:…
Although your analogy seems to be very strange, it is unexpectedly quite appropriate.
She was a little ready to move: Then... why don't you go and see?
Just when this thought came to him, Qiao Qiao suddenly said "oh" again: "I forgot! Sister doctor, our honey is out of stock."
"Do you want to just see how they work?"
Guo Dong:…
Do you think this statement is outrageous?
I see how they work, can they send me a bottle of honey?
Besides, your honey is so expensive and sells so fast, so it’s not hunger marketing, right?
"But the effect is really good! If you have bought it, you will buy it again."
Jojo smiled sweetly at her:
"Sister doctor, do you want to stay in our village? I heard the branch secretary tell my mother that if you become a doctor in the village, I can secretly give you a spoonful. If I get sick in the future, you must not Give me a needle."
Guo Dong: ...This sentence contains a lot of information, and she couldn't figure out what the point was for a while.
They had no choice but to answer one by one: "I haven't promised to stay in the village yet. Why did you secretly eat a spoonful? If you are sick, we don't need to have needles, but do you want to try the legendary acupuncture?"
Qiao Qiao was stunned: What is acupuncture?
He doesn't seem to have seen it yet.
As for not staying in the village...
He could only shake his head regretfully: "Our honey is sold for money. If you don't become a doctor in the village and treat me, I won't be able to give you a spoonful. It's so expensive."
His heartbroken look instantly made Guo Dong speechless.
At this moment, she couldn't help but get entangled: Although this village is ordinary, the food is really delicious.
And indeed, if you go to the urban area to rent a house, there are not many short-term rentals in this small town. At least you have to deposit 1 to pay 6, and it is even hard to find a 1 to pay 6... No matter what, you have to prepare a budget of 10,000 yuan, right?
Plus the medicinal materials I poured out, and repurchase some portable things, clothes, shoes and socks, including notebooks...
With such a calculation, life is so stressful!
But at this moment, Qiao Qiao asked curiously again: "Why do you use honey to rub the pills? Can't you boil sugar?"
"The seventh cousin said that the sugar I boiled is also very sticky and very sweet."
"Of course not!"
Guo Dong said seriously: "You see people don't put sugar in Chinese medicine, because sugar has medicinal properties, and it is easy to conflict with other medicinal materials, or it is not good for the body and affects the efficacy of the medicine."
As for why honey is used—because honey has many benefits.
"For one thing, it's very mild in nature, and basically won't conflict with anything."
"Secondly, it can also act as a natural preservative to preserve the efficacy of medicine."
"The third reason is that honey has the effect of relieving irritation. Some medicinal materials have strong medicinal properties and are relatively irritating to the stomach. It can play a role in relieving the medicinal properties."
"The most important point is that if you rub the pills with honey, they won't break down all at once after entering the stomach. Just like the current slow-release medicine, the continuous release is more beneficial to the efficacy of the medicine and the body."
Jojo didn't quite understand, but it didn't prevent him from opening his mouth in surprise—
"Is our honey so amazing?"
Guo Dong disagrees: "Honey in the whole world is so amazing."
"impossible!"
Qiao Qiao said confidently: "Our family's honey is definitely the best. If you don't believe me, I'll show it to you!"
He turned around, took down the half-jar of honey from the shelf, unscrewed the lid, and picked up a spoonful for Guo Dong to see.
