Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were indeed so herbs that Village Chief Zhao could not plant well. They would either die when they sprouted, rot halfway through their growth, or not bloom at all.
Bai Wutong’s idea was good. Going to the local area to plant suitable herbs could not only increase the economic benefits of the local area, but also ensure the quality of the herbs.
If the herbs were in a suitable environnt for growing, it was also convenient for research to increase production. Village Chief Zhao said, “Alright, I’ll bring everyone to plan during this period of ti.”
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Bai Wutong was already the Great Empress. Village Chief Zhao was flattered. “No, it’s sothing I should do.”
The herbs in the dicinal field were quickly harvested. After being sorted, washed, and dried, a portion was sent to the Chinese dicine hall. The rest was made into various over-the-counter dicines that could be bought according to the prescription.
Over-the-counter dicine was dicine that could be bought without a doctor’s diagnosis but with just the patient’s own judgnt.
So of the prescriptions for these dicine ca from doctors like Gu Zhongxun and Wen Renhua, while most of them ca from Bai Wutong’s modern prescriptions.
They were all prescriptions that had been developed after many years of clinical experintation. The risk of harm after taking them was very low.
With over-the-counter dicine, they could greatly reduce manpower required to brew dicine during war.
The sale of over-the-counter dicine in Carefree City could also greatly reduce the pressure on the doctors. The cost of taking dicine would also greatly decrease by more than a few tis.
Most people had minor ailnts such as catching a cold and pain in their waist and legs.
If they could be cured by directly buying dicine, everyone would definitely be happy to buy the dicine themselves.
Sotis, when there were too many people looking for a doctor, they still had to roll the dice and spend a lot of ti waiting.
There were many types of over-the-counter dicine. It was extrely convenient.
They were packaged in glass bottle, porcelain or waterproof paper bag that was clean and ensured a long shelf life.
If anyone had any ergency dicine at ho, they could take it directly to treat serious conditions.
Over-the-counter dicine was officially put on sale in the pharmacy. The lively opening ceremony attracted many people.
Everyone surrounded the pharmacy and said, “Hasn’t it been open for a long ti? Why are there gongs and drums again?”
The pharmacy staff said enthusiastically, “We’re selling over-the-counter dicine now. If you have any illness, you can buy your own dicine.”
When the commoners heard this, they were amused and teased, “If 1 knew what was wrong with , I wouldn’t have fallen sick. I would have beco a divine doctor!”
The pharmacy staff said patiently, “If you have a headache and fever, how can you not tell? If your stomach or legs hurt, or if you have burns or cold, as long as it’s not serious, there’s no need to look for a doctor. You can just go to our pharmacy to buy dicine.”
“If you buy now, there’s still a promotion. If you buy a tael of silver worth of dicine, you’ll be given 50 eggs, if you spend five taels of silver, you will get 50 eggs, two rolls of paper, for 10 taels of silver, you will receive 50 eggs, two rolls of paper, and a bucket of peanut oil that has just been produced this year!”
They would even get a gift if they bought dicine from the pharmacy. The commoners imdiately surrounded over. “Really? Is this dicine effective?”
They were going to see a doctor anyway. When they heard that there was a free gift for buying dicine, they were imdiately tempted.
The pharmacy staff struck while the iron was hot. “Of course, our dicine is not expensive and you can even save the money to see a doctor. Especially since our over-the-counter dicine can be taken directly, you don’t have to spend ti and effort to brew the dicine at all. If there are patients at ho who need to be taken care of, you can also be more relaxed.”
It was indeed good not having to boil dicine. Everyone was puzzled. “Over-the-counter dicine? Then what is prescription dicine?”
The pharmacy staff smiled and explained, “If you can’t tell what’s wrong with you, the dicine prescribed by the doctor is called prescription dicine.”
“But don’t worry. Our over-the-counter dicine has been developed by the best doctor. It will definitely be effective.”
“If we don’t see the doctor and buy the dicine, what if we take the wrong dicine?” an auntie asked worriedly.
The pharmacy staff smiled and said, “Madam, even if you don’t go to see the doctor, our pharmacy still has a professional apothecary. Tell her about your physical problems and she will only recomnd you to buy dicine based on your condition. It’s not that you can just take whatever dicine you want. Even if you want to take it, we won’t give you a chance.”
After the pharmacy staff finished explaining, everyone was much more relieved.
The auntie from before imdiately said, “My waist often hurts. Then what dicine should I buy?”
The pharmacy staff said, “Madam, with your waist, it’s very likely that your lumbar spine is damaged. You must have hurt it when you were young. If you go in, we have several dicines for you to choose from. Let the apothecary recomnd them to you.”
The auntie was a little hesitant. “Is it expensive?”
If it was expensive, she wouldn’t buy it. In any case, it wouldn’t hurt when she entered the coffin.
The others pricked up their ears.
The pharmacy staff said sincerely, “I can guarantee that there’s no cheaper dicine than our pharmacy. Auntie, go in and take a look. If it’s not suitable, it’s fine even if you don’t buy it. Just treat it as coming in for a walk.”
The auntie’s heart was burning. When she entered the pharmacy, the Apothecary welcod her warmly.
Not only did he recomnd her to take bone-strengthening dicine internally, but he also recomnded a poultice that would take effect quickly.
A bottle of bone-strengthening dicine cost one tael of silver per bottle and could be eaten for two months. The ointnt patch cost ten copper coins for two patches. It could be used when she was feeling uncomfortable.
Comparing one tael and ten copper coins, the auntie imdiately said, “Then give two patches first.”
Even if it did not have any effect, she could still afford ten copper coins.
The auntie bought two patches of ointnt, and the others who were in pain squeezed forward to watch the commotion. “Try applying it. If it works, we ll buy so too.”
The auntie rolled her eyes. “Do you think you can look at put it on?”
Everyone laughed. “You can stick it inside.” Who would want to look at you?
The auntie also wanted to know if the dicinal patch was effective. If it was not, the remaining patch could be returned to them.
She went into the inner room of the pharmacy, tore open the ointnt, and applied it. In an instant, a warm comfort crawled into her lower back. Her eyes widened.
The effect was imdiate!
This ointnt was too useful!
When the auntie ca out, everyone rushed forward and asked, “How is it? How is it? Is it useful?”
The aunt took a deep breath, her expression abnormally solemn.
Everyone held their breaths nervously. “It’s useless? Tell quickly!”
Seeing that they were anxious, the auntie imdiately laughed out loud. “It’s too useful! 1 feel like I’ve returned to my youth.” She turned around and said to the Apothecary, “Give another ten patches and a jar of the calcium tablets you ntioned.”
If she could be cured, so what if she spent a little more money?
The people around her looked puzzled. Why did it sound like she was paid to market this?
The apothecary bead with joy. “Madam, don’t you need to keep so dicine for fever and cold at ho? We are having a promotion now, so you will be given 50 eggs as long as you buy a total amount of one tael of silver!”
“You won’t have the chance after three days!”
50 eggs were worth three taels of silver. The auntie rolled her eyes. “My husband coughs often. What dicine should I buy?”
The husband had a cough from smoking a pipe all year round. The Apothecary hurriedly recomnded dicine to the auntie to treat his cough.
The auntie and granddaughter often caught a cold, so the Apothecary recomnded the child to have a cold dicine.
In total, the auntie, who had only planned to co in for a walk, finally spent one tael of silver and got 50 eggs.
The auntie bought a pile of dicine and only spent one tael of silver and got 50 eggs for nothing. Compared to finding a doctor to prescribe dicine, it was too cheap.
Soon, the pharmacy was filled with people..
