After returning home, I immediately contacted Lin Xiaoyu’s cousin and asked him to help make another batch of black films.
The uncle looked a little embarrassed on the other end of the phone: "This is a bit difficult to handle. The process of making black slices is too cumbersome, and it is not easy to get suitable aconite now."
I answered the call immediately, "It's easy to talk about the price. I'll give you a price of 1,000 yuan per kilogram."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.
Huge rewards must be rewarded by brave men, so my cousin finally agreed: "Okay, I'll try my best to collect some good monkshood and make a batch for you."
Although my cousin agreed, I knew in my heart that the market has not yet fully opened up, so I didn't dare to order too many goods at once.
Fortunately, each medicine only requires a few grams of Heishun tablets. This batch should be enough to support the early trial activities and the first batch of sales.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when I returned to the rental house.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw four women sitting around the hot pot in the living room eating lively. Lin Xiaoyu, Lin Xiaoqing, Han Mengyao, and even Su Yan were there.
"Have you eaten all day?" I remember that when I went out in the morning, Lin Xiaoyu was preparing the ingredients.
"How is that possible! We just started." Lin Xiaoyu immediately denied it.
Lin Xiaoqing swallowed the food in her mouth: "My sister took me to the newly developed scenic spots on the outskirts of the city today. I just came to the city to study and have never been to many places."
Han Mengyao considerately put some green vegetables into the pot: "You've been busy so late, haven't you eaten yet? Sit down and have something together." Su Yan smiled and moved out of the way for me, with a bit of playfulness in her eyes: "Yes, we deliberately left a lot of good ingredients."
I sat down between them and took the bowls and chopsticks handed over by Han Mengyao.
In this crowd of women, I am extremely careful about what I say, for fear of causing any misunderstanding if I say something inappropriate.
Su Yan put a plate of shrimps into the pot and suddenly suggested: "How about we find a place to camp when we have a long vacation next time? I heard that there is a new camping base in the northern suburbs that is very good."
Lin Xiaoyu took a piece of tripe and rinsed it in the pot: "That's a good idea! It can just relax."
Su Yan looked at me with a smile: "We happen to be short of a driver and coolie, some people should be obliged to do it, right?"
"At that time, you should take a taxi. I have been busy recently and really can't spare the time."
“It’s boring!” Su Yan put her chopsticks on the bowl.
Because of my straightforward refusal, the warm atmosphere just now suddenly cooled down.
The hot pot is still steaming, but there is obviously less chatter and laughter around the table.
Han Mengyao silently added some vegetables to the pot, Lin Xiaoqing lowered her head and sipped the drink, and even Lin Xiaoyu became much quieter.
This is also very helpless. Now is indeed not the time to relax and enjoy yourself. When your career becomes stable in the future, there will naturally be plenty of opportunities.
"Camping is boring, there are so many mosquitoes that you have to sleep in a tent. When I start selling these new drugs and make money, I will take you to the beach for vacation and stay in a five-star hotel. That is called enjoyment."
Su Yan then turned to resentment. Hi: "Really? That's a done deal!"
"When did I lie to you? But let me finish this time first."
He drew a big cake for them, and the atmosphere finally returned to its previous relaxed state.
A night of silence.
The next morning, while the four girls were still enjoying their comfortable weekend time, I had already gone out to work on my career.
First I went to the takeout station, finished processing the backlog of orders and schedules, and then hurried to the pharmacy.
Qin Xue came up to report that two of the people interviewed yesterday had good conditions and she stayed on both.
In this way, the store has resumed its three-person duty configuration, and two people can be on duty at the same time even if they take turns.
I thought in my mind: Only when the staff is stabilized can we be free to promote new drugs.
I called Qin Xue aside and handed her the prescription and a bag of Chinese medicinal materials.
"This prescription will be the flagship product of the store from now on. You must keep the prescription well, it is the secret of the store."
Qin Xue opened the prescription and took a look, and immediately recognized the familiar handwriting: "This is Teacher Huang's handwriting."
“Are you selling Chinese medicine directly?” She carefully checked the appearance of the medicinal materials.
"I observed several pharmacies when I was doing takeout. They did not sell raw materials, but provided decoction services. They packed the cooked liquid into bags. Customers can take it back and heat it up before drinking."
Qin Xue nodded thoughtfully: "This is indeed more convenient. We can provide decoction services."
Qin Xue and I discussed the specific details of the decoction service.
Qin Xue suggested: "Since we are going to take a high-end route, the frying process must not be sloppy."
"We need to strictly follow the ancient method and adhere to the traditional frying method of one medicine and one casserole."
"No problem, just do what you say!" I knew that this shot was about to start. If there was a problem with the decoction link, everything would be in vain.
Qin Xue continued: "Since so much thought has been put into it, why not customize a batch of special thermos cups. In addition to the convenience of delivering takeout, it also preserves the medicinal gas to the greatest extent."
"This is a good idea. I will buy casseroles and thermos cups." I really don't know much about professional matters. Since I have used Qin Xue, I should fully trust her judgment.
I drove to the city’s largest daily wholesale market and selected a batch of casseroles and thermos cups.
Although the cost will be higher, since it is about word-of-mouth, the investment is worth it.
I bought everything and returned to the drugstore. Qin Xue and two clerks quickly came out to help.
Everyone moved the casseroles and thermos cups into the back room. It was originally a simple kitchen, and it was suitable to be used as a decoction room.
I thought about the prescription: "I need to give it a louder name to promote it on the platform."
I thought about the prescription: "Huichun Guben Decoction." I had an idea, which not only pointed out the efficacy, but also had the charm of traditional Chinese medicine.
I uploaded the detailed introduction of Huichun Guben Decoction to the takeout platform and carefully checked the health product category.
In the efficacy description column, the wording is particularly careful: "It is suitable for regulating and improving sub-health conditions such as weak waist and knees, mental fatigue and fatigue caused by insufficient kidney qi."
Qin Xue stood aside and reminded: "The platform review is very strict, please do not use words such as treatment and cure."
"Don't worry, I have specifically consulted. All descriptions comply with the standards for health product promotion."
When setting the price, I hesitated for a moment, and finally settled on 198 yuan/pair, seven pairs per course of treatment.
"Consider adjustments after word of mouth has built up."
Submit for review, and then it's time to wait for market testing.
I am not going to wait and see, I decided to take the initiative.
Thinking that Huang Li needed more medication data, I picked up my phone and clicked on WeChat.
Find the contact person with the note "Mr. Gu": "Mr. Gu, there is a new secret Gubentang in the store, which is milder and longer lasting than those little blue pills. Successful people like you need maintenance the most, do you want to try a course of treatment first?"
Not long after the message was sent, the other party sent an interested expression: "What's the reason?"
"Improved from the ancestral secret recipe, the medicinal materials are carefully selected. Now we can give you a priority trial price."
Although this kind of active promotion is direct, this old customer often buys Viagra in the store, and this medicine can be said to be tailor-made for him.
