After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 760 This deal is both treacherous and overbearing
"Master Craftsman Gong, is it difficult to build this herbal medicine shop?" Qin Xiaomi asked.

Gong's ancestors had worked in the Ministry of Works, so he had the final say in building the medicinal materials workshop this time.

Master Liu is a member of the local craftsman team, responsible for doing the hard work, but Master Liu and the entire team of craftsmen are very happy because they can learn things from Master Gong.

Gong Da, the craftsman, took the blueprint and said as he looked at it, "Your house is built one medicine house at a time. Except for the strict requirements on ventilation and stoves, everything else is not difficult."

Buildings with carved beams and painted buildings, pagodas and pavilions, and underground palaces are considered difficult. Building the Qin family's medicinal materials workshop is like building a large blue brick house for a farmer, which is not difficult at all.

In order to facilitate the preparation of medicinal materials, the medicine house built by the Qin family is two or three times larger than an ordinary farmhouse.

"We have already used lime to draw the entire complex of the medicinal materials processing workshop. Take a look around and see if there is anything that needs to be changed. Is the size enough?"

"Okay. Everyone, take a car and follow." Qin Xiaomi got in the car, and her car started moving first.

Master Craftsman Gong, Master Craftsman Liu, Mr. Xun, and Doctor You followed behind in another donkey cart.

The medicinal materials processing workshop is divided into two large workshop groups, one for men and women. Each large workshop group has ten large medicine houses. The entire medicinal materials processing workshop has a total of twenty large medicine houses.

The medicine shop in the men's workshop is mostly used to prepare poisonous and blood-activating medicinal materials.

The ten medicine rooms in the women's workshop are used to prepare safer medicinal materials to prevent pregnant women from coming into contact with blood-activating or toxic medicinal materials that would affect the fetus.

Therefore, the business of preparing medicinal materials is really not easy to do, but medicine is very important for food, clothing, housing, transportation, and medicine. Controlling a pharmacy is equivalent to controlling the lifeline.

Qin Xiaomi wanted to pinch.

"Each medicine house is eight meters by eight meters, so only three medicine houses can be built on one acre of land." Gong Da, the craftsman, asked: "Master Qin, are you really not going to change the size of the medicine house? Even Doctor You said that this medicine house is a bit too big. If it is changed to six meters by six meters, one more medicine house can be built on one acre of land!"

Eight meters and eight meters is really big, which is equivalent to sixty-four square meters in modern times.

Qin Xiaomi asked Zhu Yiqing to stop the car. She and Aunt Qin got out of the car, walked into the "drug house" with lines drawn on it, and looked around.

After a moment, he said, "No need to change it, keep it this size. A bigger size will help prevent fire, improve ventilation, and disperse the medicinal smell."

"Okay." Master Gong replied, and asked his son and apprentice to confirm and record: "The size of the medicine house will not be changed."

Doctor You looked at the size of the 'medicine house' and was very envious: "There is plenty of land in the countryside. If it were in the city, who would dare to build such a large medicine house? A four-meter size is good enough. But it is better for the workers to build a larger medicine house."

The preparation of medicinal materials will produce medicinal odors. If the medicine room is too small, these odors will be lingering in the room and will affect the human body to some extent.

"Master Gong, are the three most remote rooms the medicine houses without roofs?" Qin Xiaomi asked.

Craftsman Gong looked at the blueprint and nodded: "Yes, those three rooms are the roofless medicine houses."

Some medicinal materials are highly poisonous, so you cannot prepare them indoors. You have to prepare them outdoors. Therefore, in addition to the twenty large medicine houses with roofs, three more large medicine houses without roofs will be built in remote areas of the medicine shop.

"In addition to the pharmacy, there are also warehouses and dormitories for male and female workers. They are eight meters long and have large bunk beds."

Some medicinal materials need to be steamed for several days and nights, so we have to prepare accommodation for the workers.

"The bathhouse, dining hall, and toilets should be built near the accommodations of male and female workers, and should be separated for both sexes."

"Not only should the men's and women's workshops be separated by walls, but a large driveway should also be built to separate the two workshops. The separation of men and women should be done well."

This is a very important thing nowadays, so if she wants to give women a job, she has to pay attention to these details.

"Dig four wells. One for the men's and women's workshops, and one for the men's and women's accommodation." Qin Xiaomi said as she inspected, making sure everything was finalized today so she could start building the medicine house.

"Yes, yes." Gong Da, the master craftsman, responded, and his son took notes quickly with his pen. The construction site of the pharmacy was very large, and there were many buildings to be built. After the inspection, it was already past noon.

Grandma Qin and Jiang Dalang were carrying food boxes, and Grandpa Qin was holding Uncle Qin by the back of his clothes, waiting in the distance, not daring to come forward to disturb them.

The craftsman from Gongda calculated the cost for her: "Twenty normal medicine houses, three roofless medicine houses; warehouses, warehouses for storing unprocessed medicinal materials, warehouses for storing processed medicinal materials; accommodation houses; wells..."

"These houses are all very large, and they are made of blue bricks, so the cost of building one house is estimated to be fifty taels of silver, and a well costs at least one hundred taels of silver..."

The more the bills were tallied, the more Doctor You wanted to sneak away... If the boss hadn't forced the deal on the Qin girl, she wouldn't have had to spend so much money.

"Three thousand taels of silver." Master Gong looked at Qin Xiaomi and said, "To complete the work, Master Qin had better prepare three thousand taels of silver."

what!
Qin Xiaomi smiled, and felt a pain as if her heart was being ripped out alive.

Doctor You shrank his neck and didn't dare to look at Qin Xiaomi...the three thousand taels were just the construction money for the medicinal materials workshop.

There are also fees for purchasing medicinal materials, labor costs, and firewood. So...

"My goodness, this business needs tens of thousands of taels of silver to be successful! Are you, Wu Ze Medicine Store, deliberately cheating my niece?" Uncle Qin was furious. He rushed over and grabbed Doctor You's collar, spitting and asking, "I don't want to do this crappy business anymore. I'm breaking the contract!"

"No, no, we can't break the contract. Otherwise, even if our boss doesn't pursue it, the local government, the mountain people, and the Wei army will tear the Qin family apart." Doctor You's voice became lower and lower as he tried to persuade.

Uncle Qin was about to explode with anger: "You bastards, my niece is a hero after all, and you guys are just cheating her like this?!"

He asked again, "How long will it take to make a profit from this medicinal materials business?"

Ah this?

Doctor You wanted to die, so he looked around, trying to find Shopkeeper Pang, but he was not there.

Mr. Xun, who never mind taking risks, answered from the side: "If there is no powerful new drug that is the best in the world, we will continue to lose money!"

Hey, this business is so deceptive, overbearing and unreasonable.

This?
Uncle Qin, a scoundrel, was so frightened that he was speechless for a moment.

Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin were anxious, and Jiang Dalang immediately ran over to ask, "Mr. Xun, Doctor You, is this business really going to keep losing money?"

Qin Xiaomi raised her eyes and glanced at him...Don't you understand?
"Mr. You, my Qin family and your Wu Ze Pharmacy are irreconcilable!" Uncle Qin was really angry. He didn't expect that the business of preparing medicinal materials was so deceptive.

"I'm sorry." Doctor You said with a guilty conscience, his eyes shining, "But if the Qin family can make some unique and powerful new medicines, we can turn losses into profits!"

Uncle Qin: "Bah, you still want to cheat my family? If the powerful new medicine is so easy to make, how can your Wuze Pharmacy be so poor?!"

Well, Dr. You couldn't refute it.

"Okay, second uncle, please let Dr. You go. Since you have taken this business, I will definitely not keep losing money." Qin Xiaomi gave everyone a reassurance.

Grandma Qin asked, "Xiaomi, are you sure?"

Since purchasing medicinal materials at the end of last year, my granddaughter has been spending a lot of money, and a lot of the dividends from the new dyes have been spent.

Qin Xiaomi nodded and gave her a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, grandma, your granddaughter won't do business at a loss."

Hearing this, Grandma Qin and Grandpa Qin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "The food is here. Let's eat first and then get busy after we finish eating."
