Chapter 84: The Romance of Traditional Chinese Medicine
after get off work.
Chen Nan did not go home directly.
Ride a small electric car and travel around the city.
Soon, we arrived at the traditional Chinese medicine market in Qiushui District, Yuancheng City.
This place first started in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when it was the distribution base of traditional Chinese medicine in Yuancheng City.
A large amount of traditional Chinese medicine is shipped from here to many places across the country every day.
In recent years, the traditional Chinese medicine market in Qiushui District has declined somewhat.
It was after six o'clock in the afternoon and there were not many people here.
Many pharmacies are preparing to close one after another.
In 2004, the Qiushui District Traditional Chinese Medicine Market was protected and managed by the government, and the entire facade was renovated.
It adds a lot of antique feel.
Cornered cornices.
Drum tower style.
Bluestone road.
Shade willows in pairs.
After the rain, the ground has a bit more earthy fragrance.
Walking inside, if it weren't for the bright street lights, you would feel like you have traveled to an ancient street.
Chen Nan is here to buy medicine.
He plans to start work tonight to make a batch of Angong Niuhuang Pills.
Chen Nan passed by several stores, and the wooden couplets on both sides were very interesting.
Chen Nan couldn't help but stop and watch.
"Licorice, comfrey, rushes, dwarf grass, and grasses all cure diseases; yam, black root, peony, and myrrh do not cure diseases."
…
"The red lady wears red flowers before riding in the chariot; the general rides a seahorse and wears a mountain armor."
…
"Cigu travels through the mountains to pick red flowers, and travels to the raw and ripe fields; Su Zi crosses the river to search for comfrey, and climbs Changshan and Huaishan."
…
In these couplets, there are names of traditional Chinese medicines.
But when combined cleverly, it feels very interesting!
Chen Nan came here with his grandfather when he was a child.
However, he didn't understand this at all at that time.
And now, the time has come again.
But suddenly I understood something.
These couplets, or poems, belong to the romance of traditional Chinese medicine people.
Chen Nan couldn't help laughing for a moment.
Stopped for a long time...
Perhaps, in ancient times, people were more romantic and poetic about their work.
Nowadays, with the development of science and technology, the standard of living has improved.
Perhaps people look much more refined and luxurious than the ancients.
but……
However, Chen Nan felt that people were in a hurry and in this unpredictable era, people were tired of running around, but their hearts were desolate and barren.
We may have forgotten that there is a gene for dreams in the unique human soul.
What we do is work, not a career.
To make money, not ideals.
Life seems to have become a blur in front of our eyes.
The so-called poetry and distance are gradually drifting apart.
We obviously have enough food and clothing, but...the current mainstream world view makes us tired of running around and working hard.
There is nothing right or wrong.
Why isn’t Chen Nan himself among them?
…
Before I knew it, I had walked half a mile more.
Chen Nan couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and walked into a store that was still open, called "Qiu Shui Ankang", but there was still a signboard of "Qiu Shui Ankang Traditional Chinese Medicine Co., Ltd." hanging next door.
Many of these pharmacies are corporate.
As for the traditional Chinese medicine market in Qiushui District, these companies will put up signboards here and use them as stores.
The real company headquarters is not here.
However, having a store is naturally for retail purposes.
"Hello, I'll buy some medicine."
After Chen Nan came in, he said with a smile.
At this time, Zheng Lu was already preparing to leave after get off work.
The employees have all left. He came here today just to check the orders for tomorrow's batch of goods.
That's why it didn't close the door.
Hearing someone buying medicine, Zheng Lu turned around.
"Hello, what can I buy?"
Chen Nan handed the prepared list to the other party: "It's all here."
"Trouble!"
Zheng Lu suddenly laughed: "This is the kind of business we do, how can we say it's troublesome!"
"Pharmacies, no more than others, have rules passed down from our ancestors."
"There are too many medicines and too few medicines, but they are all for the purpose of curing the disease. You cannot be picky and picky."
"The purpose of dressing up and wearing clothes is to save people. Don't dislike the poor and love the rich."
"Wait a moment, I'll give you some medicine!"
In the past two days, my father Zheng Qiusheng's health has been getting better and better.
His mood also improved a lot.
When Chen Nan heard what the other party said, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Sure enough, there are three hundred and sixty lines, and there are rules for every line.
There are still many people who are holding on.
Chen Nan said sheepishly: "By the way, could you please put the circled medicines in separate bags?"
Zheng Lu was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Okay!"
"piece of cake."
Chen Nanzi has a lot of medicinal flavor, but the dosage is not high.
However, the other party was very fast and did not weigh the medicine at all. He directly grabbed the medicine on the shelf and separated it into the bag with his hands.
Chen Nan was a little surprised.
Met an expert!
You know... Chen Nan's grandfather basically couldn't weigh himself when taking medicine, because his hands were the best weighers.
This requires time and effort.
Not long after, the medicine was ready.
"Then, it's all here!"
"Don't worry about the amount of medicine. My hands are those of an apprentice. I have been holding them for more than ten years. I have a scale in my hand and a weight in my heart. They are inseparable."
Chen Nan smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!"
“The boss is professional!”
Zheng Lu smiled: "This is not a big deal!"
As he spoke, Zheng Lu smiled and said: "If you want to say it's amazing, it has to be those Chinese doctors!"
"Looking, hearing and asking, what a real skill!"
"You may not believe it, but my father was hospitalized a few days ago and underwent a lot of tests, but almost no disease was diagnosed."
"But a Chinese medicine practitioner can become very clear-minded in less than three to five minutes."
"Just licorice can cure the disease."
“It’s really awesome!”
As he spoke, Zheng Lu sighed with emotion: "Medicine is not divided into different families. Doctors work so hard. Those of us who make medicinal materials must naturally be more conscientious."
"Traditional Chinese medicine cannot be ruined by medicine!"
"These are first-class products, and the price is a little more expensive than outside."
"A total of six hundred and one, you can just give me six hundred!"
Chen Nan nodded: "Thank you very much."
He could see that these medicines were of good quality.
The conscience of the boss is even better.
As the other party said, traditional Chinese medicine cannot be ruined by traditional Chinese medicine.
However, today’s traditional Chinese medicine is difficult to describe in just one word.
Many authentic medicinal materials are no longer as authentic as they once were.
However, the case mentioned by the other party...
Why does it sound so familiar?
Chen Nan couldn't help but shook his head.
Chen Nan took the medicinal materials, stood up and left.
When I got home, my mother had already prepared the meal.
At night, the summer atmosphere is slightly cool.
The mother and son sat on the stone table in the yard to eat.
Chen Nan asked curiously: "Mom, has Dad called recently?"
Chen Jinhe has been gone for a while.
Chen Nan is also worried.
Although my father has traveled extensively over the years and often visits the United States, but... things are different now.
Chen Wenyin smiled: "Don't worry about your dad!"
"He just called me today."
"Your dad has a college classmate named Wang Chen. You met him when we took you to the United States."
Chen Nan instantly thought of the elegant middle-aged man with gold-rimmed eyes.
"What is Uncle Wang Chen doing now?"
Chen Wenyin: "Didn't your Uncle Wang originally work as a technical consultant for Gilead?"
"After your father left, he resigned."
"In other words, your father went to the United States this time because of your uncle Wang's invitation."
"They are currently studying molecular biological extraction technology."
"This is also the purpose of looking for your father."
"They want to start research on extracts of traditional Chinese medicine."
"But this is just the beginning..."
After saying this, Chen Wenyin suddenly smiled: "Okay, don't worry about this!"
"Lately I see that you get up early and stay late every day. You must be very busy."
"Have a good rest."
"You don't have to worry about family matters."
"Your dad, he knows it well!"
Speaking of Chen Jinhe, Chen Wenyin's eyes exuded determination and confidence.
Because she believed from the bottom of her heart that this man could do it!
When Chen Nan saw this, he suddenly laughed.
He was somewhat moved by the love of his parents.
This is an unconditional trust.
In my mother's eyes, my father is great, reliable and down-to-earth!
…
And this time.
Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Liver Diseases Branch.
Xu Maocai is the director of the Internal Medicine Teaching and Research Office of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the director of the Hepatology Department of the affiliated hospital.
At this time, he is still in the hospital and has not gotten off work!
Today, a patient in the department suddenly had a high fever!
Taking antibiotics and antipyretics cannot lower the temperature at all.
As the director, Xu Maocai was naturally worried.
Returning to the director's office, Xu Maocai looked at the patient's examination results over and over again, his eyebrows tightening and his mind filled with thoughts.
But... Soon, Xu Maocai fell into depression.
or……
Find someone to talk to?
Who to look for?
It's already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
It’s not the right time to find someone at this point!
And who to look for?
at this time!
For some reason, a name appeared in Xu Maocai's mind, Chen Nan!
How about...ask him?
…
ps: Thanks to Macaron Night for the 1500 reward, thank you all.
Huhu...
It’s May 29th!
It will be released in the early morning of June 1st.
There was a lot of panic inside.
But... don't worry, everyone, the manuscript is ready. I just hope you can support it. Thank you very much.
