Siheyuan: The prosperous era starting from being a doctor

Chapter 434: China's Great Changes and First Light
As early as last year.

The northern superpower sent Chekovsky to China.

He wanted to use his many years of relationships and connections in China to export the "Rejuvenation Pill" to the northern giant.

Unfortunately.

The situation was tense for both sides at that time.

The relationship reached a freezing point, and eventually the matter was left unresolved.

in fact.

At that time, the higher-ups were willing to make this deal.

After all, no matter how tense the relationship is, no one would complain about having too much money.

However, during the negotiations, the northern superpower was unwilling to pay enough hard currency such as US dollars, nor was it willing to exchange industrial equipment, industrial raw materials or industrial technology.

Instead, they want to buy it with their own currency.

And in terms of price, we are also trying to get a discount from China.

For this kind of thing, the higher-ups didn't even think about it and just rejected it directly.

It’s not that we can’t accept rubles, a small amount is fine, but if there are too many, they will be of little use.

That is to say, because of debts before, he had to use "Palace Emperor Pill" to pay off the debts at that time.

The debt was eventually converted into a twenty-year supply contract.

In the first few years, it was still a good thing. After all, with so much less debt, both the country's economy and residents' lives were much better.

But a few years later, the situation changed.

In the international market.

After several price increases, the price of 'Palace Emperor Pills' is now more than double the original price.

The medicines supplied to the northern giant have resulted in a "loss-making" situation.

Of course, the so-called loss is just relatively small profit.

Because he saved the country a lot of money, Chekovsky was praised many times.

His status also became higher and higher.

If the 'Rejuvenation Pill' was not too important this time, they would not have sent him, who already had some status in the northern country.

Chekovsky during his visit to China.

He also went to the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine to visit old friends.

They also hope that Wang Mengde can come forward and communicate with the higher-ups to give them some suggestions and sell the "Rejuvenation Pill" to them at a low price.

Wang Mengde naturally wouldn't say anything about this kind of thing.

Since the higher-ups have decided to do this, they must have their own unique considerations.

It's not something an ordinary person like him could know.

finally.

Chekovsky returned disappointed and empty-handed.

Then, at the beginning of this year, the two sides had a small-scale "contact".

just now.

Liang Mancang wanted to use the "Rejuvenation Pill" through special channels to exchange industrial equipment, industrial raw materials and industrial technology with the people in Siberia.

And it’s calculated based on the selling price.

Wang Mengde naturally gave his full support.

To know.

Throughout last year, the Northeast region's industrial energy developed rapidly, especially heavy industry, which increased by more than 30 percent over the previous year.

The "Palace Emperor Pill" played a great role here.

Various urgently needed industrial equipment and industrial technologies have enabled the Northeast region, which had been lagging behind, to be updated and revitalized.

In addition, Siberia's rich industrial resources are also continuously sent there through various channels.

Even more powerful.

The Northeast region is home to China's largest industrial base.

A powerful force erupted here, directly affecting China.

According to Wang Mengde's observation, all aspects of the country should be much better last year and in the first quarter of this year than in the original history.

The most direct manifestation of the rapid growth of industry is the increase in industrial products on the market.

Various industrial products and materials that were in short supply before are now gradually being released into supply.

The hundreds of industrial coupons their family had saved were also borrowed by relatives and friends.

In order to buy some industrial products, everyone tried all kinds of ways, fearing that there would be continued shortages in the future.

Simultaneously.

The prices of various industrial products have also dropped slightly.

This is also due to the reduction in costs.

After all, the production cost of medicine like "Palace Emperor Pills" is very low.

The various equipment, raw materials and technologies obtained in return are things that can actually produce industrial products.

There has also been a response in the supply of other materials.

The monthly supply of grain and oil has also increased on the basis of the previous supply.

Taking the capital city as an example, each person was given an additional two kilograms of grain per month, half of which was white flour, and the remaining one and a half kilograms was coarse grains such as sweet potatoes, sorghum rice, and corn flour.

Don't underestimate the two extra kilograms of food per person. With these, the family can have several full meals every month.

The biggest change is in cooking oil.

It directly doubled.

Plus a large amount of pork is put on the market.

As the stomach gradually began to fill with oil, many people's faces began to turn rosy.

and.

This change is not only happening in the capital, but is an improvement that is occurring across the country.

A large part of these welcome changes can be attributed to Wang Mengde.

Now, with the export of medicines and other income, the country earns more than 10 billion US dollars in foreign exchange each year, which gives the country enough funds to import large quantities from abroad.

Once people can eat more full meals, many problems will be relatively easy to solve.

Also.

In terms of medical and health care.

Over the past decade or so, China has undergone tremendous changes.

The most obvious change is the continuous increase in life expectancy.

The average age before liberation has nearly doubled to date.

In the vast rural areas, millions of barefoot doctors ensure the medical and health care of hundreds of millions of farmers.

Although many of them only know a few words and have only participated in a few months of training, they can only treat simple, ordinary and common diseases.

But that's enough.

After so many years of practicing medicine, many people have undergone transformation.

From a novice who only knew a little, he became a competent doctor with a lot of experience. In particular, everyone had a copy of the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" and the establishment of the rural cooperative medical system.

It has also led to tremendous improvements in medical and health conditions in rural areas.

in fact.

What Wang Mengde is most looking forward to is waiting for this group of educated young people to gradually take root in rural and mountainous areas.

As a cultured and knowledgeable young person.

They will be the best barefoot doctors.

With the addition of these fresh bloods, there will be no shortage of qualified doctors in rural areas in the next ten or twenty years.

in contrast.

After a period of development, perhaps some famous doctors will emerge.

Mid May.

The weather gradually started to get hot.

This morning.

He Shengnan took the children out for a walk, while Wang Mengde stayed at home with Ran Xiaomei to clean the house.

My youngest son is only half a year old, and his bedroom needs to be cleaned every once in a while.

Otherwise, after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be odor. After cleaning the bedroom carefully, Wang Mengde sat in the living room, drinking boiled water.

Inadvertently, he smelled a strange odor.

This smell is like rotting meat.

He followed the strange smell and soon found the source.

At the back of the cupboard, in a large porcelain bowl, there was nearly one and a half pounds of bear meat.

This bear meat was one of the gifts Liang Mancang brought to them when he returned from the Northeast.

As of today, five or six days have passed. In an era when there were no refrigerators and the food was not marinated with salt, it is no wonder that there is a strange smell.

"Mom, this piece of meat in the cupboard is rotten. I'll take it out and throw it away."

Wang Mengde, holding a large porcelain bowl in his hand, shouted to Ran Xiaomei outside the door.

I guess it was Ran Xiaomei or He Shengnan who still didn't change their frugal habits, so they put the meat in the cupboard and forgot to eat it.

"Don't throw it away yet. Let me see if it's still edible."

When Ran Xiaomei heard that her son was going to throw away the meat, she suddenly remembered that it was she who put it there, weighing a full pound and a half of bear meat.

She quickly put down the broom in her hand and walked quickly into the living room.

He took the large porcelain bowl from Wang Mengde, put it close to his nose and smelled it, then looked at the color of the meat.

Then he said hesitantly:

"Son, although the meat has changed its taste a bit, it can still be eaten after washing and salting, and it won't have a strong smell."

As he said this, he planned to get salt to wash it and then eat it at noon.

seriously.

Even though the family has never had to worry about food, clothing or other expenses in the past two years, and even has enough meat to eat.

But in her heart, she still retains her previous habits and ideas.

That is, we should not waste things. Even if something has gone bad, we still cannot bear to throw it away.

"Mom, eating spoiled meat can easily cause stomach upset.

There is also the possibility of food poisoning, which would be very painful for anyone who gets it.

Besides, we don’t need any at home, so I think it’s better to throw it away to avoid any problems.”

Wang Mengde had guessed this result long ago, so he spoke out the words he had prepared in his mind.

"this..."

Ran Xiaomei hesitated for a moment, and seeing her son's determined look, she sighed and said softly:
"Oh, then I'll listen to you.

This piece of meat is so good, I was planning to save it for later, but I forgot about it, what a pity. "

Wang Mengde comforted her with a few more words, then hurried out with the large porcelain bowl.

Just arrived at the front yard.

It just so happened that Yan Bugui was also preparing to go out fishing.

When he saw Wang Mengde, he stopped his bike out of habit and asked curiously:
"Meng De, who are you sending this to?"

As he spoke, he was secretly envious.

Although the supply of materials in the capital has become much richer and more sufficient over the past year.

The monthly meat supply is nearly double that of previous years.

But four or five meals a month still can’t satisfy my cravings.

When I saw this piece of meat, I immediately wanted to take a few bites to satisfy my craving.

"Uncle, this meat has gone bad. I'm going to throw it away."

Wang Mengde said truthfully.

"Hey, it's such a pity to throw away such good meat. Give it to the second uncle."

After hearing his words, Yan Bugui's eyes lit up. He hurriedly took two steps forward and grabbed the piece of bear meat, which weighed a pound and a half, in his hand.

"Uncle, this meat has gone bad. Eating it will upset your stomach and may even cause food poisoning."

"Hey, if you get sick after eating meat, it's because you don't have a good appetite, you can't blame others."

"Okay, then you should be more careful. If you really need help, come find me in the middle courtyard."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Done.

Yan Bugui ignored the fishing rod on the ground and walked quickly towards home, whispering as he walked:

"Yang Ruihua, Yang Ruihua, please come out quickly."

"Old Yan, weren't you going to go fishing? What happened?"

"Yang Ruihua, wash this piece of meat carefully and then marinate it with salt. We will have meat at noon.

Oh, if only this piece of meat hadn’t gone bad, I could have saved it for two more meals. Unfortunately, I can only eat it in one meal now.

But it’s not bad, this month we can take out one pound of our meat coupons and exchange them for good things with others.”

Yan Bugui said excitedly.

For him, today was a big win.

It's more exciting than picking up money when going out. This is like picking up a piece of meat when going out.

Money can't buy it.

"Wow, such a big piece of meat, Old Yan, where did you get it from?"

The second aunt asked in surprise.

Their family would buy meat every month, but never such a big piece. At most, they would buy a few taels, and the ten or so people in the family would just taste the meat.

"This is what the Wang family is going to throw away..."

Yan Bugui recounted what had just happened:
"Luckily I was delayed by something today and left home a little late, otherwise I would have missed this piece of meat."

"Oh, no, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have meat for lunch.

I'll go get some water now. I can't go to the courtyard to wash, so I'll wash quietly in my living room.

By the way, since we have so much extra meat this month, the food allowance for the eldest and second sons must be increased by at least 50 cents."

"Well, you're right. We have to increase the food allowance by fifty cents."

Yan Bugui nodded in agreement.

Wang Mengde didn't know what happened in the old Yan family.

After he returned home, he began to think about how to treat congenital myopia.

The little boy named Gu received his treatment a few days ago, but his eye problems did not improve much.

It seems.

Curing this disease is a long and arduous journey.

the next day.

In the clinic of Guang'anmen Hospital.

The little kid from the Gu family raised his head and said to Wang Mengde:
"Uncle, is my eye incurable?"

After several days of treatment, there has been no improvement. After all, children are very optimistic, and from the initial expectations, they have gradually become disappointed.

"Don't talk nonsense, Doctor Wang is a skilled doctor, he will definitely find a way.

Your illness is so serious, how can it be cured so quickly? Don't think too much, just cooperate with Doctor Wang's treatment."

Next to him, after hearing his son's question, Gu Yong's face changed and he spoke hurriedly and loudly.

He was afraid that his son’s words would displease Wang Mengde and thus affect subsequent treatment.

To know.

This time, it was agreed in advance that all expenses for treatment would be paid by the hospital and their family would not have to spend a penny.

He was naturally delighted about such a good thing.

"Haha, children speak without restraint, it's okay."

Wang Mengde waved his hand and said with a smile.

Just now, he had thought of another treatment method, which was a combination of acupuncture and Chinese medicine.

After that, he picked up a pen and prescription paper and started writing.

The main ingredients of this medicine include night-shining sand and cassia seed, and he also used pig liver as a medicine inducer.

a few days later.

When another round of acupuncture was over, the child surnamed Gu suddenly spoke loudly:

"Hey, I think I can feel the light."
