Chapter 396 Blow hard! (Please subscribe)

In 1994, there were not many nutritionists in China, and there were even fewer professional nutritionists.

At that time, nutritionists were basically medical workers, doctors or nurses in hospitals. It would be easier to get a nutritionist qualification certificate and be promoted to a professional title in the future.

Therefore, members of the Nutrition Society are basically doctors or nurses from major hospitals.

Peng Jianghuai, deputy chief physician of the Endocrinology Department of Beijing Xuri Hospital and a member of the Nutrition Society, tore open the letter sent by the Nutrition Society.

"Essay competition with prizes, the nutritional content of soy milk and the benefits of drinking soy milk to the human body. Isn't this common knowledge in nutrition? Is there still a need for an essay?"

Peng Jianghuai shook his head with some disdain. For endocrinologists, the nutrients and trace elements contained in those foods are very familiar. To Peng Jianghuai, the nutrients of soy milk are even more childish.

Peng Jianghuai then looked down and saw the bonus setting part.

"The first prize is five thousand yuan, and the second prize is two thousand yuan!" Peng Jianghuai's heart moved. This bonus sounds really tempting.

"With my level, if I participate in this prize-winning essay competition, even if I don't get the first prize, I can still get the second prize! The second prize is also worth two thousand yuan, which is more than half a year's salary of mine!"

Peng Jianghuai thought to himself.

In 1994, most hospitals still relied on financial allocations. The salary of doctors was not high, almost the same as that of ordinary civil servants. However, because doctors generally had higher professional titles, the base of the salary was higher. It seemed that the salary was very good.

.

In fact, even in 2021, the basic salary of medical staff is not high. Doctors' legal income mainly depends on performance.

In an era when performance-based pay was not implemented and there were no medical representatives selling with money, doctors relied on legal income and could at most live a moderately prosperous life.

What's more, Peng Jianghuai is still an endocrinologist, mainly treating diabetes and hyperthyroidism. He doesn't have the opportunity to go to the operating table, so naturally he doesn't have much gray income. For him, a bonus of 5,000 yuan is really a big deal.

Quite a few.

…

In addition to Peng Jianghuai, other members of the Nutrition Society also received letters soliciting papers for prizes.

The first prize of 5,000 yuan is indeed very tempting, and the second prize of 2,000 yuan is equivalent to several months' salary.

Even if you miss the first and second prizes, you can still compete for the third prize and the winning prize. Although the bonus is more, the advantage is that there are more places to win. There are 70 places in total. If you are lucky, you can get the winning prize, which is 100.

Yuan, at least you can go to restaurants a few more times.

The key is that the topic of this prize-winning essay is too simple. For medical staff who have obtained nutritionist qualifications, the nutritional content of soy milk is similar to common sense. Anyone can write a lot of things based on this topic.

.

As a result, many people wrote articles and sent them to the Nutrition Society in the spirit of hitting three poles when there are jujubes but no jujubes.

…

At the Nutrition Society, the selection process has also begun.

The Nutrition Society did not lack nutrition professionals, and it didn’t take long before six articles were sent to Li Weidong.

"Director Li, these six articles are very well written and of high quality. Can you choose one as the first prize and the rest as the second prize?" the staff of the Nutrition Society said.

Li Weidong took the article and started reading it from the first copy.

The staff next to him introduced: "This article was written by Director Peng Jianghuaipeng of the Endocrinology Department of Xuri Hospital. Director Peng has extensive research on nutrition, and this article is also very professional."

Li Weidong read it once, shook his head, and put Peng Jianghuai's article aside, obviously not satisfied with the article.

"This second article was written by Liu Zhiyuan, director of the Department of Pediatrics of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Beijing. The content is unique and has very unique insights." The staff of the Nutrition Society continued to explain.

However, Li Weidong still shook his head and was not satisfied with Director Liu Zhiyuan's article.

"This third article was written by Director Chen Guangji of Jiangnan Hospital..." The staff of the Nutrition Society introduced again.

I read all six articles, but none of them caught Li Weidong's discernment.

The staff of the Nutrition Society were a little puzzled. These six articles were all carefully selected by them, and they were all written by domestic experts in nutrition. Their professionalism and logic were impeccable. How could Li Weidong not write any of them?

Don't like it?

The staff of the Nutrition Society couldn't help but ask: "Director Li, aren't these appropriate?"

Li Weidong nodded and explained: "These articles are indeed very professionally written, but I am not doing this essay collection to do academic research, but to popularize the benefits of soy milk to ordinary people.

So there is no need to write it in such a professional way, and there is no need to use so many professional terms. It is best to make it easy to understand, so that even people without medical knowledge can immediately understand the meaning."

The staff of the Nutrition Society nodded: "I understand, then I will go back and select a new batch."

Li Weidong is the father of the funder, so of course he must comply with the request of the father of the funder. This competition for prize-winning essays is not an important issue of principle. The Nutrition Society is purely paid to do things, and there is no need to go against Li Weidong.

However, Li Weidong stopped the staff of the Nutrition Society and continued, "Our prize essay competition is not an academic paper writing after all, so I think it should also have a certain literary quality, don't you think?"

The staff of the Nutrition Society was a little confused. He asked: "Director Li, what do you mean by literary nature? Can you say it more carefully so that I can know how to choose."

"Literary creation comes from life, but it is higher than life. In other words, literary creation requires some processing based on real life. For example, the appropriate use of some exaggerated narrative techniques is very good

It’s processing and creation!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"Exaggerated narrative technique?" The staff of the Nutrition Society still didn't understand what Li Weidong meant.

Li Weidong had no choice but to make his words more clear: "Let me give you an example. For example, soy milk is rich in calcium, and calcium is indispensable to the human body. So we can think about it a little and say soy milk.

Growth is an indispensable thing for the human body.”

"But there are many foods that can also supplement calcium!" The staff of the Nutrition Society is obviously a fool.

"Of course I know that there are many things that can supplement calcium, but didn't I say that this is literary creation and should be processed based on real life." Li Weidong said immediately.

The staff of the Nutrition Society nodded in understanding, but seemed to still not understand what Li Weidong meant.

Li Weidong had no choice but to continue explaining: "Let me explain in more detail. Let's take calcium as an example. For example, calcium supplementation for the elderly can protect bones, and drinking soy milk can supplement calcium. At this time,

You can combine the two together and emphasize that drinking soy milk can protect the bones of the elderly and prevent osteoporosis.

Another example is that calcium supplementation for minors can promote the growth and development of bones. At this time, we can combine drinking soy milk with the growth and development of teenagers. Let’s focus on introducing that drinking soy milk can make teenagers grow taller, with a height of 1.5 meters.

Children who drink soy milk every day can grow to 1.8 meters.

For example, calcium can maintain the excitement of nerves and muscles, maintain the normal function of the heart and the integrity of myocardial cell membranes, enhance the secretory function of gland cells, promote blood circulation, etc. These can all be consumed by drinking soy milk.

Let’s go together!”

"Director Li, your professional knowledge is not bad! One element of calcium can provide so many benefits." The staff of the Nutrition Society said.

"But it's useless what I said. It has to be said by experts to be useful!" Li Weidong continued; "Please follow the ideas I mentioned and go back and search to see if there are any similar articles. There is no need to be professional.

, even if it’s taken out of context, it doesn’t matter, the key is to be able to brag!”

"Can you blow it?" The staff of the Nutrition Society blinked.

"Yes," Li Weidong nodded shamelessly: "You have to blow hard to bring out the effects of soy milk!"

…

In the Endocrinology Department of the People's Hospital, Peng Jianghuai once again opened the envelope sent by the Nutrition Society.

Inside the envelope was a letter congratulating Peng Jianghuai on winning the winning award, a bonus of 100 yuan, and a display of the winning work.

"Is it just the winning prize?" Peng Jianghuai suddenly felt a little angry.

Peng Jianghuai felt that based on his own level, even if he didn't get the first prize, he still had to get the second prize! But he didn't expect that he would only get the worst prize in the end.

This winning prize is actually just a consolation prize.

The consolation prize also comes with a bonus of one hundred yuan. However, Peng Jianghuai looked at the brand new one hundred yuan bill and couldn't be happy. For Peng Jianghuai, the one hundred yuan was more like an insult!

"Why should I only get one winning prize!" Peng Jianghuai thought angrily. He couldn't help but pick up the winning work and display it, muttering to himself: "I want to see if I can win the first prize.

What on earth was written!"

In the display of award-winning works, there were a total of six articles, one first prize and five second prizes.

Peng Jianghuai started by reading the first-prize work. After a while, he couldn't help complaining: "What the hell are you writing? The whole article talks about drinking soy milk to supplement vitamin B. Do you even need to talk about such basic common sense?

There is no technical content at all, it is far worse than my article, how can it win the first prize? The judges must be blind!"

The first prize entry started by introducing the nutrients in soy milk, then focused on what would happen if the human body lacks vitamin B, and then boasted that drinking soy milk can supplement vitamin B. In Peng Jianghuai’s eyes, this was simply too much.

It's a pediatrician, at most a technical secondary school level.

Then Peng Jianghuai started to look at the winning works of the second prize.

"How can you still win the second prize for writing so poorly?"

"Even if the function of plant protein is not mentioned, can it still win an award?"

"Are the judges really blind? Drinking soy milk to cure stomach problems and writing such unreliable things can win awards?"

The more Peng Jianghuai looked at it, the more annoyed he became. The quality of these works was far inferior to his own. Some even made common-sense medical mistakes, but they still won the first and second prizes. This was a bit difficult for Peng Jianghuai to accept.

At the end, there is an invitation letter, which invites Peng Jianghuai to participate in the second prize-winning essay contest. The theme of the essay is still the benefits of drinking soy milk, and the first prize of the second prize-winning essay contest has become two.

and the second prize will be increased to ten.

"With this useless essay competition, you still have the nerve to hold a second session?" Peng Jianghuai curled his lips with disdain.

Peng Jianghuai had the intention not to participate, but when he remembered that he could win the second prize for "drinking soy milk to cure stomach problems", the fire in his heart immediately burned brightly.

"We can't just let it go! You can win prizes by drinking soy milk to cure stomach problems. That's okay, I'll just write it down and make trouble for you! But what should I do?"
