A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 115 Preparing to Go to Qinghai for Purchasing

Seeing the smug looks on Section Chief Kong and Lin Sanqi's faces, Deputy Section Chief Wu felt very unhappy.

Others might not know, but how could he not know? Since the establishment of Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital, has there ever been a case where the promotion procedures could be completed in just one morning?

If this wasn't a behind-the-scenes operation, he could have performed a handstand and eaten shit.

But now the matter is done and the official document has been issued. Even if the hospital is wrong, it will not admit it. But when Deputy Section Chief Wu’s first plan failed, he thought of another one, trying to make things difficult for this backdoor guy.

So he put on a stern face, took on the airs of a department leader and said in a cold voice:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi, now that you have taken on the responsibility of being the leader of the Northwest Group and an officer of our hospital, you must set an example as a leader, don't you think?"

Lin Sanqi was still distributing candy, and responded casually: "Ah, right, right!"

"Okay, Lao Kong, due to Comrade Luo Wenyuan's accident last month, the purchase of Mahuajiao has not been completed, which has caused a huge drug shortage in clinical practice. Now that Comrade Lin Sanqi has replaced him, do we have to go to the northwest as soon as possible?"

Deputy Section Chief Wu thought he had turned the tables on Section Chief Kong and Lin Sanqi.

Yang Xiaoqing, Li Zexu and others also showed a gloating expression on their faces:

"Hey, Secretary Lin, now is the time to test you. It looks like you have to go to Qinghai~~~"

"The Northwest is miserable. There are wolves in the Northwest. Officer Lin, please be careful~~~"

"But after a few months, there was another nameless corpse on the grassland~~~~"

Lin Sanqi didn't care when he heard his colleagues' cold and sarcastic remarks. As the saying goes, if you want to wear the crown, you must first bear the weight. Since he was snatching food from so many old employees, he was naturally prepared to be made difficult.

What's more, Qinghai, it's July now, which happens to be the day when the Cordyceps sinensis picking ends and the market goes down. He certainly won't miss such a good opportunity to make a fortune. Letting him go on a business trip to Qinghai now is like a tailor-made thing for him.

Section Chief Kong was also relieved after hearing this. After all, Dean Shen had already taught him how to exploit the loophole, so the danger was gone. So he pretended to ask:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi, the organization is sending you to Qinghai to purchase medicines. Tell everyone if you are afraid or not?"

Lin Sanqi stood up straight and shouted seriously:
"Chief, I am not afraid. Being a cadre means you have to endure hardships first and enjoy the fruits of your labor later. I accept this test."

When Deputy Section Chief Wu heard this, he shook his head and said, "It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

But what I was thinking in my heart was: This fool is in a hurry to die, so let him do it.

Yang Xiaoqing also rolled his eyes: "You really want to be promoted without caring about your life."

Lin Sanqi thought, should I tell you that Dean Shen has arranged everything for me and I just need to go on a trip?
Section Chief Kong was very satisfied with Lin Sanqi's acting skills, so he made the final decision:
"Okay, then you should get ready. We will set off for Qinghai in a week. This time, we will not only purchase wild Polygonum multiflorum, but also Tangut rhubarb. However, since this is your first time, it is best to find a helper..."

Section Chief Kong glanced at the faces of everyone in the office one by one and found that everyone lowered their heads.

Nonsense, if you can go to the Northwest, who would be willing to give up the promotion position?
Lin Sanqi certainly didn't want to go on a business trip with a burden. He wanted to go to the northwest for another purpose and wanted to go alone.

"Chief Kong, since I am already a leading cadre, I am willing to go through it alone, no matter whether it is a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, and I will not trouble other colleagues."

Everyone in the office breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

When Section Chief Kong heard this, he got off the table in fear:
"Okay, Comrade Lin Sanqi is aware of this. Then go and prepare. So, go to the pharmacy department in the next few days. Since you need to purchase medicinal materials, you must know the classification and quality of the medicinal materials. Don't purchase inferior medicinal materials, because the patients will be harmed."

Medicinal materials can be divided into good and bad grades. Different grades have different prices and therapeutic effects. This is the basic skill for purchasing personnel.

As for whether you will buy fake medicine, you can rest assured in the 1950s because everyone was dealing with public affairs and there would definitely be no confusion between the fake and the real. It's not like decades later when those unscrupulous people who dealt with Chinese medicinal materials did all kinds of bad things.

Pharmacy Department:
Zhou Mingzhe was directing the employees to prepare Chinese medicine when he saw Lin Sanqi peeking at the door.

"Hey, isn't this Director Lin? Haha, how come you have time to come to the pharmacy to supervise the work?"

The gossip that the Lin family's youngest son was promoted has spread throughout the entire hospital. Promotion means entering the ruling class, and it is a major event that has attracted everyone's attention.

Lin Sanqi smiled somewhat embarrassedly:
"Uncle Zhou, please don't cancel me. Come on, today is my big day, please have some candy."

After saying that, Lin Sanqi took out a bag of loose fruit candies, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the pharmacy department:
The little magpie Kong Sumin from the pharmacy department jumped out first, widened her eyes and said:
"Such a big bag of sugar, at least 5 jin, right? Our family can't even buy a jin of sugar in a year. Wow, cadres are different." Fu Muxiang also came over and quietly pulled the corner of Lin Sanqi's clothes, and whispered:

"Brother, there are only 12 people in our pharmacy department. It would be enough if you give each of them two pills. Why did you take out so many candies?"

Well, Mrs. Lin is feeling sorry for her brother-in-law’s candy coupons and money.

Lin Sanqi thought: Two candies for each person? How can we win people's hearts?
He wanted to purchase Chinese medicinal materials in 59 and sell them in modern society. The most important department to deal with was the pharmacy department. After all, the instructions on what types and quantities of medicinal materials to purchase were all given by the pharmacy department.

As long as everyone in the pharmacy department is of one mind with Lin Sanqi, then he can do whatever he wants in the future and the pharmacy department will be his best helper.

Such a core department must of course be treated with special care. Giving it some sugar is no big deal, as there will be plenty of sugar-coated bullets fired at the pharmacy department in the future.

Of course, you can’t be too blatant in winning people’s hearts. It’s better to be subtle and silent…

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I know what I'm doing. I'm sending you candies not only to celebrate my job transfer, but also to ask you teachers about Chinese medicinal materials. This is considered a gift to pay respect to my teacher."

Section Chief Zhou knew that Lin Sanqi was going to the northwest, and he understood it.

"Xiao Qi, which medicinal materials did your purchasing department ask you to be responsible for this time?"

Lin Sanqi pretended to take out a notebook from his backpack:
"Let me check my notes. They are Radix Glehniae and Rheum Tangutum, two medicinal herbs. We need to go to Qinghai."

Kong Sumin was just eating candy and was shocked when she heard this:
"Hey, Lin Sanqi, you are quite courageous. You dare to go to Qinghai? Last month, a buyer from your department was eaten by a wolf in Qinghai. This place is too dangerous."

When the other people in the pharmacy department heard this, their envy, jealousy and hatred immediately disappeared, and they looked at Lin Sanqi with some pity.

It's not like the youngest son of the Lin family will only enjoy his position as an official for one month, and then the position will be vacant next month, right?
Lin Sanqi didn't care and said firmly:

"The people are still suffering. If we, the purchasers, stop purchasing medicinal materials because we are afraid of death, who will protect the lives and health of the people? As the old saying goes, you can't get the tiger cub without going into the tiger's den. You can't not go just because I am afraid."

“Okay~~~”

After hearing this, everyone in the pharmacy department applauded, obviously moved by Lin Sanqi's deception.

Lin Sanqi thought: People in this era are so lovely and pure, they actually believe such empty and false words?
Section Chief Zhou chuckled after hearing this. He was a participant in the banquet last night, so he naturally knew what Dean Shen was up to. How could this trip be dangerous? It was true that the journey was hard.

"Mahuajiao and Tanggute rhubarb, right? Aucklandia lappa, bring these two herbs here. Today we will teach Comrade Xiaoqi how to identify herbs on the spot."

Upon hearing this, Fu Muxiang quickly took out two herbal specimens from the medicine cabinet and placed them on the table. Section Chief Zhou began to explain in detail:
"Comrade Xiaoqi, let's talk about this Glehnia littoralis first. It is a plant of the Gentianaceae family. It grows in areas above 2000 meters above sea level, so it is generally most abundant on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The herbs are dug up in spring and autumn every year, and after removing the mud and sand, they are dried in the sun, and then piled up to "sweat" until the surface turns reddish yellow or grayish yellow, and then spread out to dry. Some herbal farmers will also rub off the black skin while it is fresh and then dry it in the sun.

The dried skin of the radix truncatum is yellow-brown, gray-yellow or brown-brown, rough, with twisted longitudinal lines or reticular holes. The cut surface is yellow or brown-yellow in the cortex, yellow in the wood, and some are rotten in the center. It has a peculiar smell and tastes bitter and slightly astringent.

The main functions are to dispel rheumatism, clear dampness and heat, stop pain, and relieve deficiency fever. It is used for rheumatic pain, hemiplegia caused by stroke, muscle spasm, joint pain, damp-heat jaundice, bone steaming and tidal fever, and fever caused by malnutrition in children.

Wild Mahua Ganoderma lucidum is generally divided into three grades. The first-grade dry goods often have several small roots gathered and intertwined, mostly twisted to the right, and some twisted to the left. Several small roots at the lower end gradually merge. The cross section often has a decayed hollow, no reed head, and the diameter of the reed bottom is greater than 10 mm.
If it is a second-class product, the diameter of the reed is only 3-10 mm. If it is a third-class product, it is less than 3 mm. We don't want this kind of mahuajiao, it is too bad.

These two are first-class and second-class, look at the difference."

Lin Sanqi listened, took notes, and nodded continuously.

"In addition, as a purchaser, you need to check the quality of medicinal materials on site. For example, the purchase requirements for Radix Trichosanthis are that the moisture content must not exceed 9%, the total ash content must not exceed 8%, and the acid-insoluble ash content must not exceed 3%. You must remember these data."

Lin Sanqi put down his notebook and said embarrassedly:
"Uncle Zhou, can you lend me these two specimens first? I will go to Qinghai to purchase them and make sure I don't get cheated."

"Ha, you are so clever, okay, take it. It is a good thing that you are so cautious. Now I will tell you how to identify this Tangut rhubarb..."
