The two of them didn't have to wait long before the burly man arrived at the door. He nodded at the two of them and turned to open the door.
Ren Baqian passed the cloth bag he was carrying to that person. Inside the bag was the 130 taels of silver that he and Caretaker Shi had pooled together. It was indeed a little tiring to carry something that weighed more than 10 kilograms for almost an hour.
After checking, the man nodded at the two of them and finally revealed a smile.
Caretaker Shi took out the strips of paper and red clay that he had prepared beforehand. The man took a look at them and pressed his fingerprint on them. From now on, this shop would belong to Ren Baqian and Caretaker Shi for a year.
"How should I address you? Where can I find you if there's anything? "Ren Baqian asked with a smile after seeing him press his fingerprint.
"Zhendong General's Residence. I have something to discuss with Caretaker Xi," the man said to Ren Baqian and tossed the key over.
After he left, Caretaker Shi said, "So it's the property of General Zhendong."
Ren Baqian had no idea about the court officials of Dayao. However, there was one thing he remembered. Those who could become generals were all capable of fighting. To be able to sit in the position of General of the East, one had to be able to fight.
"What rank is the East Vanquishing General?" Ren Baqian asked curiously. Dayao's official ranks were modeled after Great Xia's, which was a nine-rank system.
"Primary Grade 2." Caretaker Shi gestured with his fingers.
"Brother Shi, what level are you at?"
"Ninth-class minor class."
"Then, as a steward, I can't even be considered as a minor ninth rank steward?"
"Dayao is the same as Great Xia. There are nine ranks in the system, and there are eighteen ranks in total. Yours is called unattainable, "Caretaker Shi explained.
Ren Baqian smacked his lips. In the past, he had never even been a class monitor. Now, at least he had ten subordinates.
Moreover, he had so many good things in his hands. No matter what, he would be able to get an official position.
Dayao respected martial arts. If he brought the ancient military books over, would he be able to fool a few people?
"What do you think? What should we do next? "Caretaker Shi asked.
"Recruit people. Set up this place first. Brother Shi, don't you hate the people of the Yun Nation? In the future, the people of Dayao and the people of the Yun Nation will have one price. "
"Heh, let's do as you say." Caretaker Shi was elated when he heard this.
"Everything else is easy, and it's easy to make. You can add more flavors, and you can make any kind of fruit. Try not to leak the information about making ice with saltpeter, "Ren Baqian warned. The matter of saltpeter could not be concealed, but the longer it could be concealed, the longer it could be used.
Once the streets were filled with them, they wouldn't be able to make money anymore.
"Understood! This matter is definitely not bad. "Caretaker Shi patted his chest and said.
After the two of them walked around the room, Ren Baqian gave them some ideas. They would set up a bar counter in the corner, a row of benches at the side, and tables and chairs in the other empty spaces.
This way, people who came to buy shaved ice could sit here and eat, or they could sit down and rest for a while, waiting to take it away.
There was nothing else.
"Brother Shi, we can also sell ice. A piece of shaved ice costs five copper coins, and a piece of ice the size of the one we use for storage can be sold for thirty copper coins. "
"Alright!"
"The people of Yun Nation will double!"
…
After the two of them settled the matter, they left the shop and went straight to the Chen Medicine Shop that they saw last time.
The shop wasn't considered big, but there were quite a lot of people. At the entrance, they saw a few aborigines going in and out. Some of them were injured, and some seemed to be sick.
There was a middle-aged man sitting in the shop, and there were three to four helpers.
"Are you the boss?" Ren Baqian stood at the side and asked after the man finished prescribing medicine.
"What's the matter?" The man raised his head and took a glance at Ren Baqian. He then ignored him and shouted, "Next."
"I have a business transaction to discuss with you."
"I only treat patients here, I don't do any other business."
"It's a business related to treating patients." Ren Baqian wasn't anxious at all.
After the middle-aged man saw another two patients and saw that there was no one waiting behind him, he raised his head and said to Ren Baqian, "What's the matter? Speak. "
"I want to use my medicine prescription to exchange for your prescription. My prescription can save a large number of patients suffering from tetanus, which is also known as qiqi. "
After hearing Ren Baqian's words, the middle-aged man's face became a lot more solemn. He said to the two of them, "Come in with me, let's talk inside."
There were two chairs and a table in the inner room. The middle-aged man first gestured to the two of them, then he sat on a chair.
"How do I address you?" The middle-aged man asked casually.
"My surname is Ren. Ren Baqian, the person beside me is my companion. May I know how to address you? "Ren Baqian asked. Up until now, he still didn't know Caretaker Shi's name and called him Brother Shi every day.
"My surname is Chen, Chen Zisheng. Now tell me, what kind of prescription do you want to exchange for? "Chen Zisheng asked.
"The black mud cream!" After Ren Baqian finished speaking, he stared at Chen Zisheng attentively. As long as the other party was willing to exchange, Ren Baqian would definitely give him something that would satisfy him. He was just afraid that the other party wouldn't be willing to exchange. That would be troublesome.
Chen Zisheng muttered to himself for a while and said, "The black mud cream is passed down from generation to generation in my Chen family. Although the production isn't high, its effects are amazing. However, medicine is used to treat people. It's not impossible to exchange with you, but the thing you are offering must have a corresponding value. Furthermore, it can't be the kind that is circulated everywhere. "
After hearing Chen Zisheng's words, Ren Baqian was instantly elated.
As long as you are willing to exchange, anything is fine.
There were so many kinds of medicine in the modern world, including Chinese and Western medicine. There were also various medical treatments that exceeded Chen Zisheng's imagination. There must be something that he was willing to exchange.
In any case, Ren Baqian didn't feel any heartache for selling his father's farm.
"Tell me what I can offer. Penicillin can be used as an antibiotic to treat many diseases, including qiren. When people fall sick, it is caused by bacterial invasion and inflammation. The main symptoms are redness, swelling, heat, pain, and dysfunction.
The most obvious symptom is inflammation of the wound.
Secondly, tonsillitis, sore throat, coughing, pneumonia, and bronchitis are all effective.
The most important thing is to treat the wound, as well as women giving birth. It can greatly reduce the chances of inflammation and qiren.
This medicine isn't difficult to produce, takes a short time to produce, and can be widely used. Other than me, no one else knows about it. I think its value shouldn't be any lower than the black mud cream. "
After Ren Baqian finished speaking, Chen Zisheng first asked a few questions about the diseases that Ren Baqian mentioned. After all, he didn't understand many of the terms that Ren Baqian mentioned. However, after combining his many years of medical experience and asking Ren Baqian about the parts that he didn't understand, he understood everything.
There was no doubt that the medicine that Ren Baqian mentioned was valuable. The effect of the black mud cream was indeed good, but its greatest value lay in the fact that the so-called qiren would not appear during an extreme period. In his eyes, the length of the recovery process was secondary.
After all, he was a doctor and not a businessman.
The disadvantages of the black mud cream were also very obvious. The raw materials were scarce, the price was high, and it couldn't be widely used. A large number of patients who couldn't afford the black mud cream would either die or have their limbs amputated due to infection and qiren.
The medicine that Ren Baqian mentioned was the most important point of the black mud cream. In Chen Zisheng's eyes, it was easy to produce, the raw materials were cheap, and it could be widely used.
Chen Zisheng pondered for a long time and asked, "How difficult is it to produce this medicine?"
"It's not difficult. I can teach you the entire set of cultivation, separation, and manufacturing methods of penicillin."
"If what you said is true, I can exchange the formula with you." Chen Zisheng nodded his head.
