Chapter 3437: Extra 17 that went astray

Lu Xiaofo opened the letter sent by Bai Shanzhuo and was startled when he saw the Qiuli ointment prescription attached.

Mrs. Lu stepped forward, "What's wrong?"

Lu Xiaofo handed the recipe to her and said with a smile: "Zhishan sent it. They gave us a big gift."

Mrs. Lu took it and took a look, "What's the use of this?"

"It will be of great use," Lu Xiaofo said, "You prepare some money, and I will ask the steward to find a drug dealer in the city."

He smiled and said, "Just think of it as having an extra income for your family."

But it is more than just an income. If this business is done well, it will not only solve the pear accumulation in the village now, but also be planted in nearby villages in the future, which will give many people an additional income.

Mrs. Lu worriedly said: "It's just a recipe. If we don't say whether we can make it, will it really be sold after we make it?"

How can business be so easy to do? Their family has never been in the medicine business.

Lu Xiaofo smiled and said: "If someone else gave me a recipe, I would naturally consider it, but this was given by Zhou Man. As long as I spread the word, many people will come to ask for it. Don't worry, I don't have to worry about selling this pear paste."

Mrs. Lu just went...

Lu Xiaofo's guess was good. The pear ointment hadn't been made yet. The stewards of the governor's office just talked to a few drug dealers. Lu had a prescription for the ointment written by Zhou Man himself, so they expressed their interest one after another.

After private inquiries, they found out that Lu Xiaofo and Bai Shan were classmates. Some time ago, Bai Shan and Zhou Man appeared in Lingnan and were entertained by Lu Prefect in Liuzhou. Therefore, the pharmacists became even more convinced that the prescription was written by Zhou Man.

Several people no longer hesitated and came to discuss the pear paste business with the Lu family's manager.

Mrs. Lu, who had been worried about this, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, and hurriedly asked people to prepare the workshop and purchase pears.

Although Ashan and the others were dubious about Zhou Man's words, they still went up the mountain to tidy up the messy orchard.

After waiting for several days, no one came, and when I was about to be disappointed, a steward who claimed to be the governor's office came with a group of people in a car and wanted to buy their pears.

The steward said: "Two cents per catty, as long as it is good, we will take as much as you have."

Ashan's eyes lit up, he pushed through the crowd and stepped forward, asking, "Did Mrs. Zhou ask you to come?"

"Mrs. Zhou, that's Master Zhou," the steward said, "Do you know who Master Zhou is? That was the former order of the Imperial Medical Office. She opened the medical offices all over Jin Dynasty now."

The villagers marveled, and Ashan's father regretted: "Oh, I have neglected our distinguished guest."

The steward said: "Will you sell these pears? Our master is still waiting for the pears to be made into pear paste."

"Sell, sell, sell, you can sell it for two cents a pound."

This price was also promised by the original merchants when they encouraged them to plant pear trees.

After the pear paste was made, it was quickly sent to various parts of Shanxi through the hands of pharmacists in Liuzhou.

Two months later, when it was the coldest time in Chang'an, the palace also bought a can of pear paste.

The emperor took people out for hunting some time ago, and he had a cough when he came back. The imperial doctor prescribed medicine. The emperor drank it for two days. Although he felt much better, he still coughed from time to time, so the people below donated this jar.

Pear paste.

The emperor looked at the pear paste that Eunuch Wu had sent him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this what Zhou Man made in Liuzhou?"

"Yes," Eunuch Wu bowed and said with a smile, "People outside say that this pear paste is very useful. Children don't like to take medicine when they are sick. This pear paste is very sweet. After soaking it for two spoons, they all like to drink it."

The emperor sneered, "Good medicine tastes bitter, how useful can this sweet pear paste be?"

But I still ate it.

However, "Do I still need to buy Zhouman's prescription from outside? It's not too troublesome to check layer by layer, let Taiyuan Hospital make some on its own and save it. If the queen, princes and princesses need it, they can go directly from Taiyuan Hospital."

Ritori."

Eunuch Wu smiled and said: "I heard that this is a recipe given to Liuzhou Governor Lu by the princess. It is brand new and is slightly different from the pear paste sold outside now."

The emperor looked at Eunuch Wu quietly.

Eunuch Wu understood it at a glance, bowed in agreement, and left to find Zheng Yuanzheng from Taiyuan Hospital.

Zheng Yuanzheng: "What do you want?"

"Recipe, recipe for Qiuli ointment," Eunuch Wu whispered, "How can the finished product be imported from outside when His Majesty has imported it? Naturally, it is safe for Taiyuan Hospital to make it itself."

He said: "Zheng Yuanzheng, you have a close relationship with the princess. This recipe..."

Zheng Yuanzheng: ...Thank you. The person who has a close relationship with Zhou Man is not him, but his nephew.

He had a headache, but he still responded, "Please tell your Majesty that I can give it a try."

After returning home, Zheng Yuanzheng did not look for Zheng Gu, but wrote a letter to Zhou Man after his own consideration.

When Zhou Man received the letter, she was writing a letter to Yang Heshu.

Through her several months of wandering and investigation, she circled several plots of land in Lingnan that were suitable for growing medicinal materials, and people from the Imperial Medical Office came down to investigate.

Zhou Man asked Yang Heshu if he needed advice from her and Zheng Shuling?

With her coming forward, it was easier for Yang Heshu, a superior official, to gain the support and trust of the Imperial Medical Office.

After all, Lingnan is too far away from the Central Plains. Even Zhou Man, a former official, could not guarantee that the officials of the Imperial Medical Office would agree to locate the medicinal garden in Lingnan.

As a result, before the letter to Yang Heshu was sent, the letter from Doctor Zheng arrived first.

Zhou Man opened it and looked at it, clicked his tongue twice, then unfolded a piece of white paper and wrote down the recipe for pear paste.

She thought for a while and wrote a letter to Imperial Physician Zheng. However, she did not mention what Yang Heshu asked her to do. Instead, she wrote that she was living in Lingnan and found that the climate and soil here were very suitable for growing medicinal materials. Now that Jin Dynasty is short of medicinal materials, the imperial physician

Has the Department ever considered setting up medicinal gardens to grow medicines in Lingnan?

There are some medicinal materials that can only be grown in the Lingnan area, such as Panax notoginseng, which is in short supply at the moment.

Zhou Man wrote a long letter to Dr. Zheng before he stopped writing. Before he could seal it, Bai Shan called from outside, "Ziqian, please hurry up. I'm waiting for you."

Zhou Man hurriedly stuffed the letter into the envelope and took it out. He handed it to the guard and said, "Seal it and send it back to the capital."

She trotted out. Everyone's luggage was ready. Bai Shan stood by the car waiting for her. When he saw her coming out, he reached out and helped her into the car. "Isn't the letter to Senior Brother Yang already written?"

"I just remembered that my three children are all in the capital for the New Year. I entrusted Senior Brother Yang to help take care of them. Unexpectedly, a letter from Dr. Zheng just arrived, so I replied to him with a letter."

Zhou Man got in the car, turned around, lifted the curtain and looked outside, and asked excitedly, "Did Lu Xiaofo agree to us?"

Bai Shan responded and said with a smile: "We have helped him a lot, so naturally he will also help us."

He said: "The people he sent have arrived. Let's meet at the city gate and go directly to the Liaozi Department."

There were only Zhou Man and Bai Shan in the car, so Zhou Man lowered the curtain and lowered his voice and asked, "Is there really an elephant in Liaozi's department?"
