"Hello, my name is Zheng Qingqing. Nice to meet you." Zheng Qingqing has a gentle and generous personality, but she is not too shy. She took the initiative to extend her white and jade-like palm.
"Chu Feng, I live in Yueya Bay Community." Chu Feng smiled, raised his hand and shook his hand lightly.
"Crescent Bay, are you the children of the textile factory?" Zheng Qingqing obviously understood this very well and replied with a smile. While speaking, she had already started to register.
"By the way, did you bring your ID card?"
After Chu Feng heard this, he immediately handed the ID card he carried with him to the other party.
"Hey, hehe——"
Zheng Qingqing reached out to take it. Unexpectedly, as soon as she glanced at it, she couldn't help laughing.
Chu Feng sighed. He also understood what the other person was laughing at. The photo on his ID card was still taken when he graduated from high school, which looked a little childish. In comparison, he looked like he had undergone plastic surgery.
"Xiaoling, make a copy of your ID card." Zheng Qingqing took a breath, suppressed the smile in her heart, and shouted to the other girl in front of her.
"Okay, Sister Qingqing."
Xiaoling is also young and very pretty, but she has a lot of freckles on the bridge of her nose, which affects her overall appearance. However, this girl has a good figure, which is a plus.
"Hey, hee hee——"
Sure enough, there was another chuckle, and Chu Feng couldn't help but pursed his lips after hearing this. But he wouldn't really take such a small thing to heart.
"Well, don't mind, we don't mean any harm." Zheng Qingqing explained in a low voice.
"It's okay, I'm already used to it." Chu Feng shook his head slightly.
"Now that we have joined the company, we will be colleagues from now on, so why not get together in the evening and get to know each other."
Chu Feng pondered for a moment. He had always been averse to gatherings. For this reason, his good friend Lin Qiang had tried to persuade him more than once, but to no avail.
Of course, the reason for his rejection is that he used to be relatively withdrawn and unwilling to participate in such noisy activities. More importantly, he felt that this kind of thing was of no use at all. They were either complimenting each other or talking to each other.
Comparison is really a waste of time. Therefore, except for formal business entertainment, he almost never participates in these.
"Okay, where?"
Chu Feng did not refuse this time. Unlike Linhai, there were not so many interests entangled here, but there was nothing objectionable about pure social interaction. Since he had planned to stay in Lan County, it was not a bad thing to make some friends.
"How about Ming Yuexuan? It's a newly opened teahouse with a nice environment and also provides food and drinks."
"Oh my gosh, sister Qingqing, isn't it? We can't afford to go to that place. I heard that the cost is at least four digits at a time." Xiaoling walked over and exclaimed after hearing the suggestion.
"You don't need to pay. Tonight is to welcome new colleagues. I'll treat you."
"Hehe, that's not bad. You, a rich little girl, are certainly not short of money." Xiaoling laughed playfully and then handed over her original ID card.
"Handsome boy Chu, you are so proud. I have benefited from you tonight."
"What time will you leave?" Chu Feng didn't say anything, put away his ID card and asked directly.
"We get off work here at four o'clock, but as you should know about girls, you still need to prepare, so seven o'clock in the evening is just right." Xiaoling explained.
"I will go to the appointment on time." Chu Feng nodded and left immediately. He just joined the health club freely and was not considered a formal employee. Therefore, he did not have to go to work or anything like that, so there was nothing wrong with him staying here.
"Tsk, tsk, this handsome guy from Chu is a bit aloof, and he didn't stay shamelessly. Or, sister Qingqing, you have entered the aging stage in advance and your charm has begun to decline?" Xiaoling suddenly walked closer, with a pair of dark eyes.
He said while staring closely at the other person's fair cheeks.
"Go, go, don't go crazy here."
Zheng Qingqing reached out and pushed the other person's head away, not wanting to listen to the other person's crazy words. However, she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of curiosity about Chu Feng in her heart.
She had grown up in a provincial capital. Because of her family, she had always been a little princess in the center of everyone. She had seen too many attentive people, but this was the first time she had encountered this kind of indifference.
…
Tongkang Pharmacy is the largest chain pharmacy in Beijiang Province. Lan County is close to the provincial capital and also has branches.
Chu Feng walked into the store, looked around for a while, and then walked towards the Chinese herbal medicine area.
"Young man, get some medicine?"
There were not many people buying Chinese medicinal materials. It was very quiet here. There was only an old man with gray hair and a pair of reading glasses on his face. When he saw the person coming, he seemed to ask curiously.
Chu Feng nodded and suddenly asked:
"Are you in charge here?"
"Why, you think my old man is useless?" the old man asked with a smile.
"That's not true." Chu Feng took out his mobile phone and handed it to the other party.
"The number of medicines I want to take is quite large. With your body, you will be very tired if you take all the medicines."
"Let's take a look, hey, I'm afraid there are no less than a hundred species. It's really..." After reading it, the old man suddenly gave a helpless smile and said,
"Age is not forgiving, and this job is indeed a test for me now. But, why are you so crazy? Why are you grabbing so many Chinese medicinal materials?"
"How about you watch here and I come and catch you myself?" Chu Feng asked instead without explaining.
"You still know these things, then you can catch him." The old man was obviously very interested and replied with a smile, then adjusted his glasses, looking like he was waiting to see.
Chu Feng did not enter the counter immediately. Instead, he stood outside and scanned the densely packed Chinese medicine cabinets. There were so many types of names on them that if you were a newbie, you might be dizzy when you find them.
However, he was very familiar with Chinese herbal medicine, and he knew all the medicinal materials just by looking at them. Therefore, after a while, he basically knew them by heart.
When the old man saw that the other party had walked into the counter, he couldn't help but feel a little expectant. In today's era, there are fewer and fewer young people studying Chinese medicine, and those who can recognize Chinese medicinal materials are even rarer. It's not easy to see one, so it's a bit strange.
Happy to see the hunting heart.
Sure enough, the other party did not disappoint him. From beginning to end, he acted as smoothly as a professional who has been in the industry for many years, without any feeling of sluggishness.
"This kid is quite interesting. Could it be that some old guy specially trained him?" The old man took a sip of tea and began to think in his mind.
"Not to mention Lan County, there are no truly talented people here, but there are a few in nearby Anguo, or in other words, in the provincial capital?"
Time did not pass long, and soon, Chu Feng had found all the medicines. You know, his medicine was different from others. Each medicine had to be packaged separately. Therefore, at this moment, there were large and small packages.
There were a bunch of them.
"If you do this, should I charge you more for the packaging bags?" The old man put down the tea bowl and asked with a smile.
"Yes, but do you still need to calculate the total amount in advance?"
"What's the point? The old man is so old, how can he understand it clearly?" The old man refused without thinking, and then asked again,
"Tell me first who your master is. If he is an acquaintance, the old man can give all these medicinal materials to you."
"Uh-" Chu Feng was suddenly a little stunned. What's the situation? Who is this old man? He dares to say such things. Is it possible that Tongkang Pharmacy is opened by your family?
"I just learned it by myself out of personal hobbies."
It is impossible for him to say that he is a teacher. If he really wants to say it, it should originally come from Hua Tuo. Later, he absorbed a large number of medical theories from different worlds, Taoist health science, etc., and now it has become its own entity.
“Teach yourself!”
The old man's heart was slightly shaken. This is even more surprising than having a master. Traditional Chinese medicine is an extremely boring field. In today's society, without anyone to supervise, who can have such perseverance?
"To what extent have you taught yourself? In addition to being proficient in identifying medicinal materials, what else have you mastered?"
"There will be some."
"Well..." The old man was a little speechless. What kind of answer is this? You know a lot about everything. Do you know everything, or do you only have a superficial understanding? It would be better to explain it clearly.
"Can you check your pulse?"
"good."
"..." The old man felt like he was being choked, and he was out of breath.
"Then can you help the old man take a look?"
"Okay." Chu Feng knew that the other party wanted to take the exam for him on a whim, so he did not refuse. Although his real age is several times older than the other party, he is still a junior on the surface, and some due courtesy must be observed.
.
Chu Feng sat across from him, gently felt the other person's pulse for a while, and then said,
"I haven't been sleeping very well recently. This is caused by Qi deficiency and rising heart fire..."
"In addition, you also have some gastrointestinal problems, indigestion, loss of appetite..."
"..."
He said several things in a row. It was okay at first, but as he listened, the old man's expression became more serious. The results of the diagnosis were almost consistent with his current situation. Although there was no treatment method given, it was enough.
It shows that the other party does have some proficiency in medical skills.
"If you were asked to receive treatment, what would you choose?"
"There's no need for treatment. You've always seen me as a medical expert. It's better for me not to do this thing. Besides, my ambition is not in medicine. This is just a hobby."
Chu Feng directly rejected the other party. At this time, he had already felt that the old man was thinking of accepting a disciple, which was not in line with his ideas. Being polite is one thing, but becoming a disciple is another. So
In his situation, it is absolutely impossible for him to have another master.
"You baby, you are really..." The old man smiled bitterly, but the boy was smart and could see what he was thinking at a glance. However, he did not expect that the other party would refuse. Although he did not say it explicitly, it was no different from saying it directly.
"You have such a talent, but it would be a waste if you don't study medicine."
"Maybe, even if you can't become a doctor, you can still help others and even save the world. It's just a different path. Why should you be persistent when you are old?"
"Haha, you kid really likes to talk about truths. However, it is easy to say it, but it is difficult to do it. I hope you can really do what you say." The old man smiled. At his age, everything has already been done.
Let's look at it. Since there is no fate, I simply won't force it anymore.
After a pause, he continued,
"As for these medicinal materials, you can take them all without paying any more."
Chu Feng pondered slightly. There were quite a lot of these medicinal materials. Although most of them were common, there were also more than a dozen of them that were relatively expensive. In total, they were not a small amount.
However, seeing the other party's firm expression that did not allow for refutation, I suddenly understood. This old man has a somewhat stubborn personality, and I am afraid it will not be easy to change if he says it out loud.
"I dare not refuse the gift. Since it is your wish, it would be inappropriate for me to refuse."
Chu Feng chose to accept this favor and repay the favor when he had the opportunity in the future. His procrastination only made him look petty.
"That's right. You have a good talent. If you have free time, come here or go to No. 18 Yilan Garden to talk to the old man and discuss some theories of traditional Chinese medicine."
"Yilanyuan, it seems that you are also a rich man hiding in the market. If I had known this, I should have caught more of you. It is really a big loss."
Yilan Garden is considered the most expensive villa area in the entire Lan County. Most of the people living there are not locals, but super-rich people from the nearby provincial capital. It is precisely because of the beautiful natural environment and convenient transportation in Lan County that it
That's why the villa area was built here.
After joking for a while, Chu Feng said goodbye at the right time. However, although the weight of the medicinal materials was not large, the quantity was quite large, so he had to ask the salesman to find a big bag before filling them all.
When I walked out of the pharmacy, it was almost noon.
Chu Feng had nothing else to do, so he just picked up the bag and walked towards his community.
"Hey - brother, what did you buy again? Such a big package?"
As soon as I entered the house, I immediately heard my sister Chu Xue's surprised voice. My parents are very busy these days and won't come back at noon. I thought there would be no one, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened.
"I'm overthinking it. I didn't buy it for you." Chu Feng pushed the other person's protruding head away and said,
"Why are you back? Why don't you stay at school to eat?"
My community is not far from the school, but it still takes more than ten minutes to get there by bus. Add in the waiting time for the bus, and it's not that short.
"I was going to reward you yesterday, but it didn't work out. Today I have to choose to make it up." Chu Xue thought for a while and explained.
"So kind?" Chu Feng looked at the other party with some suspicion,
"Isn't it because the food in the school cafeteria is too bad that you came back to have your teeth punched?"
"No way, I really came here specially to cook for you." Chu Xue blinked and replied firmly.
"Okay, I believe you. I'll put the things away first and wait for your love meal." Chu Feng walked to the kitchen with the bag in hand. There is no place at home, so I can only put it here.
"By the way, do you have enough time at noon? Don't delay your afternoon class."
"No, I borrowed my classmate's bicycle," Chu Xue explained.
Half an hour later,
The sumptuous dishes were brought to the table. At this time, Chu Xue was a little excited. There was excitement on her fair cheeks.
"Brother, try it quickly. This is my hard work for more than ten years."
"More than ten years, where did it come from?"
"Yes, I have always wanted to cook a meal for you since I was a child. Now I am fifteen years old. After hard work, I finally fulfilled my wish. It took more than ten years of hard work."
Can it still be calculated like this?
Chu Feng couldn't help but be stunned.
Looking at the table full of dishes, some of him didn't know whether he should move his chopsticks. This was his sister's intention, but he always had a bad feeling in his heart, as if he would lose more if he chose to accept it.
