Chapter 221 Pharmaceutical Factory
Time flies by in our busy and fulfilling life.
Lin Zisu blew out a breath, and the warm air turned into white mist. It was December, and the Chinese New Year would be here in a little over ten days.
Lin Zisu got out of the RV, rubbed her hands together, and stuffed them into her cotton-padded jacket pockets. "It's so cold when I get off the car!"
Lin Xianwen: "Yes! It's hard for these workers to build houses in such a cold weather!"
After training at the outpost and having dinner, the two siblings drove past their home in their RV without entering. They went straight ahead, turned right, entered another street in Qingxi Town, and then turned left into the uninhabited area of the forest.
It cannot be considered an uninhabited area. There used to be several families living in Qingxi Bay. During the war, the people left and the houses collapsed, making it an uninhabited area.
Now the collapsed houses have been cleared away, the area on the original site has been expanded, and a pharmaceutical factory has been built.
Qingxi Bay was discovered by Lin Zisu's family accidentally. It is not far from Qingxi Town and is part of Qingxi Town. Qingxi Bay is surrounded by mountains on both sides. There is a very spacious flat land between the two mountains. There is a large stream at the foot of one of the mountains.
At the foot of another mountain range, a pharmaceutical factory was built. The original dirt road was widened and turned into a spacious cement road.
The land for the construction of the pharmaceutical factory was approved by the land management department of the Xinghai government in early autumn.
The construction and management of the pharmaceutical factory was the responsibility of Lin Zisu's family of four, and the cement road was built by the government.
The pharmaceutical factory was specially approved by He Zhaoyu, not because the four members of the Lin family got in through the back door. Instead, Shen Xianglan made several common medicines at home and submitted them to the government for inspection. The medicines passed the inspection and were effective.
Xianglan submitted an application that included plans for the construction, management, and use of a pharmaceutical factory that would provide medicines and pay taxes to the country.
It is a win-win situation for the country and the Lin family.
Medicines are very important resources, whether in ancient, modern or contemporary times.
Especially now is a time of war and chaos, and there are no large-scale formal pharmaceutical factories in various countries and forces. Pharmaceutical factories and drug research institutes are both very important parts of a country.
The two siblings walked towards the office building. The entire pharmaceutical factory was in the final stage of renovation. After the Chinese New Year, it would be open for business and put into drug production.
Lin Zisu knocked on the office door, "Excuse me, is Ms. Shen here?"
"Come in." Shen Xianglan didn't raise her head, and the pen in her hand moved smoothly on the paper.
Lin Xianwen: "Ms. Shen is still busy! Has Ms. Shen had lunch yet?"
Shen Xianglan stopped writing, looked up at the two people, then lowered her head and continued writing, "Let's eat later. Are you two free? If you are free, go to No. 69 and take a look!"
"Really? I miss you so much that I came to see you first!" Lin Zisu took out two oranges from her pocket and put them on the desk.
"I have two here too. Ms. Shen, you have worked hard. Ms. Shen, please take more vitamins!" Lin Xianwen put down the two oranges, and the two siblings sat down in front of the desk.
After waiting for a long time, Shen Xianglan stopped writing, looked at the two siblings and said, "What did the teacher give you? Not bad!"
Lin Zisu: "It's OK. It's not too difficult to eat fruits in the south."
Shen Xianglan stood up and said, "That's the army. Even if ordinary people have money, they have nowhere to buy it."
Lin Xianwen: "It is shipped by sea and sold in official stores, but the stock is limited. It is almost the New Year and it is out of stock."
Lin Zisu: "Try it, it's quite sweet."
"I need to wash my hands first!" Shen Xianglan was followed by two followers, and the three of them came outside under the eaves.
There is a big spring on the mountain behind the pharmaceutical factory, and three large pools were built at the foot of the mountain to store water. Pharmaceutical production requires a lot of water, and this location was chosen not only for its secluded location, but more importantly, because there is a big stream and spring water on the mountain.
There is a hole in the reservoir, and spring water will flow down. The ditch was originally there. A waterwheel was built in the ditch at the back. When the waterwheel turns, it drives the spring water up, and some of the water flows into the bamboo pipe.
The water in the bamboo pipe flows down to the washbasin, the water in the washbasin flows into another artificial ditch, the water in the artificial ditch flows into the reservoir, and the water in the reservoir is used to irrigate the medicinal fields.
All the farmland that could be reclaimed nearby was intended to be used to grow medicinal herbs. Of course, a large amount of medicinal herbs still had to be purchased from various places.
Shen Xianglan washed her hands under the bamboo tube, walked back to the office to peel oranges and eat them. Lin Xianwen ran to the cafeteria to get food for his mother and brought it back to the office.
The pharmaceutical factory is fully equipped. In addition to the pharmaceutical manufacturing area, it also has office buildings, canteens, staff dormitories, duty rooms, and security rooms.
Butcher Zhao’s calico dog gave birth to a litter of puppies. Two months later, the seven puppies came to their new home: the pharmaceutical factory.
Sanhua would come over from time to time to take a look, play a little, and have a meal.
Shen Xianglan plans to wait until the puppies are 6 or 8 months old and then take them to Qingshui City for sterilization, where there is a professional veterinary hospital.
Xinghai City is still under construction and the conditions are not yet met.
Lin Zisu thinks that Dahei might be the father of these puppies.
There are two little black dogs, as well as calico, tabby, yellow, and little white dogs.
Lin Zisu: "Is it sweet?"
"Sweet! Sweet words, sweeter heart." Shen Xianglan looked at her daughter with amusement, "You guys go to No. 69 later, your father and I don't have time to help you keep an eye on it."
Lin Zisu: "Got it, I'll go there later."
Lin Xianwen: "The meal is here, the dishes are pretty good today!"
The chefs and kitchen helpers in the canteen are all from Qingxi Town, including locals, people who used to live in Nanlin Village, and new residents who moved here later.
In terms of hiring, the main focus is mutual supervision and a probation period.
In addition to core technical personnel, the pharmaceutical factory also has many other places where people are needed. Shen Xianglan also spent a lot of time selecting people.
Shen Xianglan sat aside to eat so as not to dirty her desk.
Lin Zisu sat down in the chair behind her mother's desk and opened the document she had been writing.
"Wow~ You want to make your own antipyretic pills!" Lin Zisu looked at the title on the paper: Antipyretic Pills.
If this medicine is mass-produced, it can save a lot of people!
Recipe for antipyretic tablets: honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum, belamcanda chinensis, aspirin, etc.
Preparation method: Weigh and mix the Chinese medicine, then boil it.
Soak the Chinese medicine, boil it, add water repeatedly, filter the liquid, let it stand, boil it again to concentrate it. Then add high-concentration alcohol to the concentrated Chinese medicine solution and soak it for 2 days.
The source of this prescription is the modern Beijing Pharmaceutical Factory.
Modern pharmaceutical factories use salicylic acid as raw material and then add acetic anhydride, concentrated sulfuric acid, etc. to make aspirin with fewer side effects.
There is no condition to produce chemical aspirin tablets here, so we can only use the ancient method to make medicine. Honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum and Belamcanda are easy to get, but aspirin can only be extracted from the thin white wood layer under the willow bark, salicylic acid.
Although the salicylic acid extracted in this way is very irritating to the gastric mucosa, long-term use can cause severe gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding.
But who would take antipyretics for a long time? Antipyretics are only used for emergency treatment to reduce fever and save lives! What's more, human life is more important than the stomach. If you lose your life, what's the point of having a stomach?
