Chapter 420: Immediate Impact

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were indeed some 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 environment 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 time.”

Bai Wutong smiled and said, “Thank you.”

Bai Wutong was already the Great Empress. Village Chief Zhao was flattered. “No, it’s something I should do.”

The herbs in the medicinal field were quickly harvested. After being sorted, washed, and dried, a portion was sent to the Chinese medicine hall. The rest was made into various over-the-counter medicines that could be bought according to the prescription.

Over-the-counter medicine was medicine that could be bought without a doctor’s diagnosis but with just the patient’s own judgment.

…..

Some of the prescriptions for these medicine came from doctors like Gu Zhongxun and Wen Renhua, while most of them came from Bai Wutong’s modern prescriptions.

They were all prescriptions that had been developed after many years of clinical experimentation. The risk of harm after taking them was very low.

With over-the-counter medicine, they could greatly reduce manpower required to brew medicine during war.

The sale of over-the-counter medicine in Carefree City could also greatly reduce the pressure on the doctors. The cost of taking medicine would also greatly decrease by more than a few times.

Most people had minor ailments such as catching a cold and pain in their waist and legs.

If they could be cured by directly buying medicine, everyone would definitely be happy to buy the medicine themselves.

Sometimes, when there were too many people looking for a doctor, they still had to roll the dice and spend a lot of time waiting.

There were many types of over-the-counter medicine. It was extremely 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 emergency medicine at home, they could take it directly to treat serious conditions.

Over-the-counter medicine 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 time? Why are there gongs and drums again?”

The pharmacy staff said enthusiastically, “We’re selling over-the-counter medicine now. If you have any illness, you can buy your own medicine.”

When the commoners heard this, they were amused and teased, “If 1 knew what was wrong with me, I wouldn’t have fallen sick. I would have become 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 medicine.”

“If you buy now, there’s still a promotion. If you buy a tael of silver worth of medicine, 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 medicine from the pharmacy. The commoners immediately surrounded over. “Really? Is this medicine effective?”

They were going to see a doctor anyway. When they heard that there was a free gift for buying medicine, they were immediately tempted.

The pharmacy staff struck while the iron was hot. “Of course, our medicine is not expensive and you can even save the money to see a doctor. Especially since our over-the-counter medicine can be taken directly, you don’t have to spend time and effort to brew the medicine at all. If there are patients at home who need to be taken care of, you can also be more relaxed.”

It was indeed good not having to boil medicine. Everyone was puzzled. “Over-the-counter medicine? Then what is prescription medicine?”

The pharmacy staff smiled and explained, “If you can’t tell what’s wrong with you, the medicine prescribed by the doctor is called prescription medicine.”

“But don’t worry. Our over-the-counter medicine has been developed by the best doctor. It will definitely be effective.”

“If we don’t see the doctor and buy the medicine, what if we take the wrong medicine?” 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 recommend you to buy medicine based on your condition. It’s not that you can just take whatever medicine 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 immediately said, “My waist often hurts. Then what medicine 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 medicines for you to choose from. Let the apothecary recommend 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 medicine 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 welcomed her warmly.

Not only did he recommend her to take bone-strengthening medicine internally, but he also recommended a poultice that would take effect quickly.

A bottle of bone-strengthening medicine cost one tael of silver per bottle and could be eaten for two months. The ointment 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 immediately said, “Then give me two patches first.”

Even if it did not have any effect, she could still afford ten copper coins.

The auntie bought two patches of ointment, and the others who were in pain squeezed forward to watch the commotion. “Try applying it. If it works, we ll buy some too.”

The auntie rolled her eyes. “Do you think you can look at me 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 medicinal 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 ointment, and applied it. In an instant, a warm comfort crawled into her lower back. Her eyes widened.

The effect was immediate!

This ointment was too useful!

When the auntie came 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 me quickly!”

Seeing that they were anxious, the auntie immediately 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 me another ten patches and a jar of the calcium tablets you mentioned.”

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 beamed with joy. “Madam, don’t you need to keep some medicine for fever and cold at home? 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 medicine should I buy?”

The husband had a cough from smoking a pipe all year round. The Apothecary hurriedly recommended medicine to the auntie to treat his cough.

The auntie and granddaughter often caught a cold, so the Apothecary recommended the child to have a cold medicine.

In total, the auntie, who had only planned to come in for a walk, finally spent one tael of silver and got 50 eggs.

The auntie bought a pile of medicine and only spent one tael of silver and got 50 eggs for nothing. Compared to finding a doctor to prescribe medicine, it was too cheap.

Soon, the pharmacy was filled with people..
