Guo Dong agreed readily, but there is an old saying: Every failure makes you wiser.
For example, now, she was about to go up the mountain with Qiao Qiao under the scorching sun, and suddenly asked cautiously: "How much is your honey?"
Qiao Qiao raised a finger happily: "One thousand yuan a bottle."
"One bottle is..." Guo Dong couldn't help but look at the, no, half bottle of honey on the shelf in the middle of the living room.
Qiao Qiao's eyes followed suit: "Doctor sister, have you found it? It's like that, 500 grams per bottle."
Guo Dong’s eyes went dark.
"Thanks."
She sat down calmly: "I don't think I deserve it."
If it were an ordinary person, the sales focus would definitely be on the price, the product, but Qiao Qiao was different. He just sat down curiously and asked, "Why is it not worthy?"
"Because I have no money."
Guo Dong said with a vicissitudes of life.
"1,000 yuan for just this small bottle of honey - do you know what I'm going to do with the honey?"
"What?"
As a suitable supporter, Qiao Qiao would never let the guests be lonely and talk to themselves.
At this moment, his inquiring eyes somewhat eased Guo Dong's anxiety.
She then sighed deeply and patiently explained to Qiao Qiao:
"I bought this honey to make honey pills. Before making honey pills, I have to refine the honey. I don't use much old honey here, so I only refine the medium honey - but a bottle of medium honey will lose 1/10."
"That is to say, out of 500 grams of honey, I only get 450 grams of medium-quality honey."
"But the ratio of honey to medicinal materials is generally 1.5:1, so 1,000 yuan worth of honey only has 300 grams of medicinal powder."
"How much will the price of my medicinal materials increase to?"
"The patients who buy medicine are not fools. I am a serious Chinese medicine practitioner, and I write down the prescriptions clearly. Can't they just take the medicine to any place they want?"
Now people can not only make decoctions for you, but also help you prepare granules, and also make pills and pastes...
"so… "
Guo Dong could only shake his head heavily at this moment: "I really can't afford it."
Qiao Qiao received a lot of new messages and was sitting there thinking.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "Doctor sister, don't you have any rich patients?"
Guo Dong was stunned.
But Qiao Qiao started counting on her fingers: "Just like the aunties in our vegetable market, they are only willing to buy wild vegetables and are unwilling to buy tea. My sister said that the consumption concept is different."
"But some customers buy tea as if it's free, so straightforward! Vegetables cost 20 yuan a pound, tea costs 10,000 yuan a pound, can't your medicine be 20 yuan a pill or 10,000 yuan a pill?"
Guo Dong laughed out loud.
She thought, if I sell a pill for 10,000 yuan, what should I sell? Da Huan Dan
But on second thought, what Qiao Qiao said makes sense!
There are always some high-end customers who neither want nor trust cheap medicinal materials.
So, if this company mixes expensive golden cherries with expensive honey to make pills and sets the price a little higher... there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that, right
"yes."
Qiao Qiao nodded and said seriously, "Just like when Ultraman deals with small monsters, he only needs to use biubiubiu. To deal with particularly large monsters, you need the power of light!"
Guo Dong: …
Although, your analogy seems very strange, it is unexpectedly quite appropriate.
She was eager to do something: Then... how about going to take a look
Just as this thought came to my mind, Qiao Qiao suddenly said, "Oh!" "I forgot! Doctor sister, we are out of honey."
"Do you want to just watch them work?"
Guo Dong: …
Do you think this is outrageous
I see them working, can they give me a bottle of honey
Besides, your honey is so expensive and sells so quickly, it can’t be hunger marketing, right
"But it's really effective! I'll buy it again after I've bought it."
Qiao Qiao smiled sweetly at her:
"Doctor sister, are you going to stay in our village? I heard the secretary sister tell my mother that if you become the village doctor, I can secretly give you a spoonful. If I get sick in the future, you must not give me an injection."
Guo Dong: … This sentence contains so much information that she couldn’t figure out what the main point was.
I had to answer them one by one: "I haven't agreed to stay in the village yet. Why do you eat a spoonful secretly? If you are sick, we can not give you acupuncture, but do you want to try the legendary acupuncture?"
Qiao Qiao was stunned: What is acupuncture
He seemed to have never seen it.
As for not staying in the village...
He could only shake his head regretfully: "Our honey is for sale. If you don't become the village doctor and treat me, I can't give you a spoonful. It's too expensive."
His distressed look instantly left Guo Dong speechless.
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel conflicted: Although this village is ordinary, the food is really delicious.
And it is true that if you go to the city to rent a house, there are not many short-term rentals in their small town. At the very least, you have to pay a deposit of 1% and 6% in advance. Even that is hard to find... At least you have to prepare a budget of 10,000 yuan, right
In addition to the herbs I bought, I also bought some new things to carry with me, such as clothes, shoes, socks, and even a notebook...
When you think about it this way, life is so stressful!
At this moment, Qiao Qiao asked curiously, "Why do you need to use honey to make the pills? Can't you boil sugar?"
"My seventh cousin said that the candy I made was also very sticky and very sweet."
"Of course not!"
Guo Dong said seriously: "You see, people don't put sugar in Chinese medicine. It's because sugar has medicinal properties and it's easy to conflict with other herbs, or it's bad for the body and affect the efficacy of the medicine."
As for why honey is used - because honey has many benefits.
"First, it is very mild in nature and will not conflict with anything."
"Secondly, it can act as a natural preservative to preserve the efficacy of the medicine."
"Third, honey can relieve irritation. Some herbs have strong medicinal properties and can cause great irritation to the stomach and intestines. Honey can relieve the medicinal properties."
"And the most important point is that if you use honey to rub the pills, they won't all break down all at once after entering the stomach and intestines. Just like the current sustained-release medicines, they will be released continuously, which is more beneficial to the efficacy of the medicine and the body."
Qiao Qiao didn't quite understand what was said, but that didn't stop him from opening his mouth in surprise.
“Is our honey so magical?”
Guo Dong disagreed: "All honey in the world is so magical."
"impossible!"
Qiao Qiao said confidently: "Our honey must be the best. If you don't believe me, I'll show it to you!"
He turned around, took the half jar of honey from the shelf, unscrewed the lid, and scooped up a spoonful with a spoon to show Guo Dong.
