Chapter 1160 Heavy rain is coming
The effectiveness of osmanthus and sour plum soup far exceeded the psychological expectations of Nurse Ye and others. As the weather got hotter, long queues began to form in front of "Bian's Clinic". During the peak period, six long queues had already extended beyond the gate of the community.

Word spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. It's free anyway. As long as the "Bian's Clinic" is open, there will always be people queuing near the entrance.

At first, Nurse Ye and others were quite happy. A clinic is a noble profession, curing illnesses and saving lives! Helping the needy every day, an angel industry. However, people eat and horses feed, in a sense, opening a clinic is also a business, and it does have operating costs.

It is inevitable that it has a business color, so the accounts must be settled. Once the accounts are settled, Nurse Ye and others feel that they have suffered a bit of a loss.

At 12:07 at noon that day, by chance, Nurse Ye, Luo Zhanqi, and Zhang Jinsi were leaving get off work together. Chatting and laughing, the three of them walked along the flower path in the community towards the south gate.

"Hey! Hey, you two, have you noticed that since we started providing free soup, the conditions of many patients who originally planned to see a doctor with us have improved a lot. They immediately gave up the idea of ​​registering for treatment. This is not just sabotaging oneself! In addition, Doctor Zhang, you are in charge of the pharmacy all day long. The purchase price of our medicinal materials is much more expensive than all the surrounding clinics. There is still some time before the beginning of autumn on August 8th. How much money will be wasted! Isn't it not appropriate to continue like this?" Nurse Ye walked between the two of them and complained to them while looking around.

"This... our boss said that there is a high probability that Lijin City will usher in several heavy rains in the near future, and the momentum is very strong. Didn't you see him send 'Knife-faced' and the others to pile up so many sandbags in the front and back yards? It's because they are afraid that the rain will flood our house. My fellow villager rents the 11th floor, so there is nothing to worry about. However, there are a lot of goods stored in the basement. I believe in our boss's words and reminded my fellow villager several times, but he said it was groundless and didn't pay any attention to it at all. According to traditional medical theory, if the summer air is stimulated by the rain, it is easy to induce diarrhea, gastritis syndrome, severe cold... and so on. Those with underlying chronic diseases, especially the elderly, are particularly prone to chronic diseases. I think that a few cups of sour plum soup are actually meant to prevent it in advance. Our boss is kind-hearted and is accumulating virtue! I can understand." From the doctor's perspective, Luo Zhanqi reminded Nurse Ye from another side.

Luo Zhanqi is more greedy for money than Nurse Ye. His family's economic conditions have never been good and they are a bit poor. However, if the heavy rain in the city is really as Bian Mu said, taking precautions in advance is indeed a real and great merit. No matter how greedy he is, he cannot compromise his medical ethics.

Besides, the wool comes from the sheep. The cost of the sour plum soup is nominally paid by the clinic, but it is actually paid by Bian Mu himself. It will not affect his salary at all. Luo Zhanqi will definitely stand on Bian Mu's side.

"Our boss is really knowledgeable. I believe in the predictions of heavy rain in the city. I live on the second floor. I guess even if I encounter a once-in-a-century thunderstorm, the water won't reach my doorstep. However... my father-in-law and mother-in-law live on the first floor. If they really encounter it, they will be killed. Don't be afraid of you two laughing at me. A few days ago, I prepared sandbags, cement, large buckets and other things. Haha... I also made some protection for my basement. At least, even if the entire basement is flooded, my house won't get much water. Some things I have already moved the products upstairs. I really believe what our boss says. As for the cost of sour plum soup... to be honest, it is a bit expensive. Let's talk about the disposable paper cups. The boss asked "Knife Face" and the others to prepare the more expensive ones on the market. It does cost a lot of money every day. " Zhang Jinsi naturally stood on Bian Mu's side. However, he knew how to speak, and he had to take Nurse Ye's emotions into consideration. He avoided the important point and did not mention the cost of the medicinal materials. He only mentioned the cost of the paper cups lightly.

Nurse Ye's eyebrows were empty, and she listened to the two gentlemen's responses. After listening to them, she cursed in her heart: "When I received my salary, I never saw you two complaining about it being too much, but now you are pretending to be nice in front of me, ha!"

"Is the rainstorm really that mysterious?" Nurse Ye said with a smile.

"Nine times out of ten, I... know a little bit about astronomy. It's been unbelievably hot these past few days. As you two know, I've practiced Kung Fu since I was young. With our physiques, we won't feel any discomfort even in the hottest weather. Things have been a little strange in the past week. Even I have to open the doors and windows when I sleep at night, otherwise it's very stuffy. So... our boss's prediction is 90% true. Which floor is your house on?" Luo Zhanqi asked with a smile.

"9th floor! The developer in our place didn't design a basement, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Nurse Ye was convinced now. "Garage! Your family seems to have two cars, right? If the property management is not professional, the basement will be flooded. Why not store the car in a vertical garage in advance? The three-dimensional ones near the community, like an elevator, only cost a few dollars to park! If the engine gets flooded, even the smaller insurance companies will argue with us." Zhang Jinsi smiled and reminded a few words.

"Wow! It's true. Okay! I have to go back and see what's going on in my basement garage." Before she finished her words, Nurse Ye completely forgot about holding Bian Mu responsible for his willful spending, and rushed towards the subway station entrance in two steps.

Luo Zhanqi and the other man looked at each other for a few seconds, and then laughed out loud at the same time.

Women! It’s a common problem that they have long hair but little knowledge!

……

That night, moderate rain came quietly. Bian Mu stood in front of the window of the south balcony for a long time, repeatedly calculating in his mind how long this heavy rain would last, how large an area it would cover, and how much negative impact it would have on his relatives and friends...

More than twenty minutes later, Bian Mu called the pharmacist Lao Pei.

"Not bad! You have learned the traditional arithmetic, Xuantian calendar, five elements deduction and other old studies quite well! Congratulations, it's not easy! Nowadays, no one of your generation believes in that anymore. This rain is quite troublesome. I have moved down from the mountain. I have officially notified the other herbal farmers in the group. They are okay and usually trust me. As for other people, I can only inform Grandpa Liang. He has complicated social relations and the people he has notified are much more numerous than I am. I guess they have all been notified by now. By the way, have your parents been notified?" On the phone, the herbal farmer Lao Pei completely confirmed Bian Mu's prediction.

"Hi! My mom is the head of the family. Sometimes she listens to me and sometimes she ignores me. I told an old friend a few days ago that he has almost made preparations in all aspects. My dad believes in me and has also made some preparations. It's raining heavily, so my mom doesn't go out. That's a third floor, and my dad and Uncle Ge have basically cleared the basement, so it won't be a big deal even if it gets flooded."

"That's good! You're dating more and more people now, so notify each one to accumulate merit. I'm standing on the roof of the community right now, don't wait! Call one by one to remind them!"

"Okay!" After agreeing, Bian Mu hung up the phone.
