A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 156: Maotai Pien Tze Huang
A fish ball snack shop in Sanfang Qixiang, Fuzhou.

Lin Sanqi was amazed at the fish ball in front of him that was as big as a child's fist.

"Comrade, are you Hujian people so arrogant? The fish balls are so big? I feel like I'm full after eating just one."

The waiter was wiping the table nearby. When he heard a customer from out of town asking a question, he smiled and replied:

"Comrade, our Fuzhou fish balls are made of minced eel, shark, and mackerel meat, added with sweet potato starch, and then stuffed with lean pork or shrimp. Such exquisite and delicious fish balls are only available in Fuzhou. But such large fish balls are only available in Yonghe in the whole of Fuzhou."

Lin Sanqi also laughed:
"Then it seems that I have found the right place. Hey comrade, I heard that you have a famous snack in Fuzhou called meat swallow. Give me a bowl."

"Comrade, if you want to eat meat dumplings, you should go to the Tongli old brand across the street. Their meat dumplings are the most authentic in Fuzhou. But you don't need food coupons to eat fish balls, because our raw material is fish meat, which is too much on the beach.

But you need food stamps to eat meat dumplings. Fine meat and flour are now rare goods. There are only a few meat dumpling shops in Fuzhou. I hope the weather will be good next year. "

Lin Sanqi nodded, thinking that because of this natural disaster, even the small and medium-sized restaurants in the old city were closed, not to mention the local time-honored restaurants.

After eating the fish balls, Lin Sanqi wiped his mouth and felt that he could not eat anything else, so he decided to do his business.

Because he is going to Zhangpu to purchase Andrographis paniculata and to Meizhou to purchase Phragmites australis.

These two Chinese herbal medicines can only be grown in the south, so they are not used in the prescriptions of northern doctors, and they had almost no sales in the north before liberation.

With a large number of southern doctors supporting the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, they also brought southern prescriptions to the north, and Andrographis paniculata and Phoebe striata were listed as regular Chinese medicinal materials by the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

The key point is that in the whole north, only the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine regularly uses these two medicinal materials. The Supply and Marketing Cooperative will not send people to the mountainous areas in South China to purchase medicinal materials for your hospital alone, so the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine purchases them by itself.

Traditional Chinese medicine hospitals are short of purchasing talent, so they often have to prepare enough supplies for two to three years at a time, so the purchase amount is relatively large.

Lin Sanqi didn't get much money on this business trip, and he was mainly worried that it would be unsafe on the road if he had too much money.

The hospital specially came up with a solution, which was to arrange cash withdrawal points for him along the way according to Lin Sanqi's itinerary.

Hu Jian’s withdrawal point was arranged at “Hu Jian Provincial First People’s Hospital”.

The old city area of ​​Fuzhou is not large, and Lin Sanqi was guided by passers-by and soon found the First Hospital.

As the largest hospital in Hu Jian Province, the First People's Hospital also has its own procurement department. The section chief is Huang Liqiang, who is about 50 years old. He was quite enthusiastic when he saw Lin Sanqi.

"Comrade Lin from the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, yes. Haha, come inside and sit down. It's so hot."

Lin Sanqi looked around this simple office. There wasn't even an electric fan. It felt even worse than outside. At least it was windy outside.

"Hello, Chief Huang, this is my work ID and this is my letter of introduction. Sorry for bothering you."

Section Chief Huang was not pretentious. He took it and examined it carefully. Since a huge sum of money was involved, he had to check it carefully.

"Lin Sanqi, Sanqi... Oh, as soon as I saw your name, I knew you were one of our traditional Chinese medicine practitioners."

Lin Sanqi also casually talked about the tiger skin:
"Section Chief Huang is amazing. He can even tell that my father is Lin Kushen, the successor of the Lingnan School in Huadu."

Section Chief Huang's eyes lit up when he heard this:
"Lin Kushen of the Lingnan School, I know, your father should be the doctor Lin Kushen who was one of the first ten famous doctors in the country who came to Beijing, right? I tell you, this first batch of ten famous doctors has the highest gold content. Your father's medical skills are beyond reproach, amazing."

Lin Sanxin was also a little surprised: "Wow, it turns out that my father's reputation has spread to Hu Jian. I didn't know he was so powerful."

"Haha, that's right. You grew up in the north, so you don't know how great your father is. By the way, Comrade Li Zexu used to be in charge of purchasing from us. Why did he change people this time?"

Lin Sanqi shrugged: "Li Zexu was injured in a car accident, so I am temporarily replacing him this time. He will continue to be in charge of this area in the future."

Section Chief Huang nodded. The work permit was real, the letter of introduction was real, and there was indeed a telegram from the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine explaining the replacement.

But as an old purchaser, he had been cheated too many times, so he was still a little wary and decided to quietly make a long-distance call to verify it. So Huang Liqiang continued with a smile:
"Comrade Lin, your documents are fine, but this kind of inter-city loan still needs to go through the procedures. Please wait for me, I will go to the dean to sign it."

Just as Huang Liqiang was about to stand up, a man in his 40s who looked like an intellectual rushed in from the door.

The man was called Zhang Xingbang, a cadre of the local supply and marketing cooperative and an old friend of Huang Liqiang.

At this time, Zhang Xingbang's face was obviously anxious. As soon as he saw Huang Liqiang, he grabbed his arm:
"Old Huang, you have to help me think of a solution this time. My daughter has a high fever and is unconscious. If this continues, I'm afraid her life will be in danger."

Huang Liqiang was also embarrassed when he heard this:
"Lao Zhang, I have invited all the famous doctors we can think of in Fuzhou for you. I have tried all kinds of medicines, but now even Pien Tze Huang is useless. I, I am powerless."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Suddenly, a light bulb lit up above Lin Sanqi's head: "Pian Zai Huang!!!???" Zhang Xingbang was so anxious that he stamped his feet:
"Old Huang, can you help me think of a solution? Can you invite an expert from Huadu or Shanghai to come for a consultation? I'm willing to spend any amount of money."

Huang Liqiang was also in a difficult situation because he worked in a hospital and many relatives and friends always asked him for help.

They either help with making appointments, or arrange beds, and even have to help with the problem of scarce medicines. So people who work in hospitals have a wide range of interpersonal relationships, but it is also really troublesome.

Now seeing Zhang Xingbang like this, Huang Liqiang knew that if he didn't find a solution for him, the other party would probably think that he was unwilling to help.

Suddenly, Huang Liqiang saw Lin Sanqi's eyes glowing for no apparent reason, and his own eyes lit up as well:
"Come on, Lao Zhang, you are really lucky. This Doctor Lin is from the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. His father is Lin Kushen, a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor of the Lingnan School. He is best at treating typhoid fever. Like father, like son. Doctor Xiao Lin has a family background in traditional Chinese medicine. How about we ask Doctor Xiao Lin to come and help take a look?"

Lin Sanqi: Excuse me?

Zhang Xingbang was somewhat displeased with Lin Sanqi's youth. Young doctors are often unpopular, and this has always been the case.

But when he heard that the young man in front of him was the son of a nationally famous Chinese medicine doctor, his interest suddenly piqued.

Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes inheritance, from father to son, and from son to grandson. Many secret recipes are passed down through blood relations. Medical skills cannot be judged by age.

Even though this young doctor from the capital was not an expert in medicine, as long as he had the family secret recipe, perhaps his daughter could be saved, so he immediately became extremely enthusiastic.

"Oh, so you are Doctor Lin. I have heard of your name for a long time. I have heard of your name for a long time~~~"

Lin Sanqi almost laughed out loud, thinking to himself, I'm just a middleman who traveled through time. You've already mentioned my name, should I just pack up and run away?

Huang Liqiang poked Lin Sanqi and made a pleading expression:

"Doctor Lin, this is my old friend Zhang Xingbang. His daughter started having a high fever a few days ago. We tried many methods, but the fever only came and went. Since yesterday, the high fever has persisted. Can you help take a look?"

Lin Sanqi's thinking was not on the same frequency band:

"Chief Huang, are you saying that the doctor has already used Pien Tze Huang and it didn't produce any significant results?"

Zhang Xingbang quickly explained: "Pian Zai Huang was effective at first, but then my daughter developed a rash and the fever could no longer be suppressed."

High fever, rash...

Lin Sanqi immediately looked at the textbook and thought about what the disease might be.

But then he was immediately attracted by the greater good:

"Chief Huang, can you get this Pien Tze Huang?"

Anyone who can be a senior purchasing agent is a shrewd person. When Huang Liqiang heard this, he suddenly understood. It seems that this young man from the capital is interested in Pian Zai Huang.

Although he didn't know why the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine was still interested in local medicines, he understood people's hearts.

"Comrade Xiaolin, Pien Tze Huang is a specialty medicine of our Hu Jian Zhangzhou. Others can't get it, but Director Zhang and I have ways to get it. But saving lives is the most important thing now. As long as the people are saved, Pien Tze Huang will be our responsibility."

Zhang Xingbang understood immediately: "Right, right, right, Doctor Lin, Pien Tze Huang is a piece of cake. Our supply and marketing cooperative has a sales cooperation with them. It's just a matter of a word."

Lin Sanqi said nothing and prepared to go out the door. Seeing that Huang Lizhang and Zhang Xingbang did not move, he urged them curiously:
"Then let's go, what are you waiting for, go see the little patient first."

When Zhang Xingbang saw the doctor taking the initiative, he felt more confident:
"Okay, okay, let's go. My daughter is in the inpatient department of the First Hospital. This way, please."

Huang Liqiang felt relieved. Seeing Lin Sanqi so confident, he thought he must have some exclusive secret recipe. It seemed that his old friend's daughter could be saved.

At this moment, Lin Sanqi was walking away, feeling so regretful that he really wanted to slap himself twice.

I wondered how I could have forgotten such a magical drug? Why didn't my father remind me before I left? Fortunately, I happened to hear it, otherwise I would have missed the best opportunity to monetize traffic.

In fact, this was a misunderstanding on the part of Lin Sanqi, because Pian Zai Huang was famous in 1959, but its fame was limited to Hu Jian.

So it is normal that people other than Hu Jian don’t know about this medicine, or don’t think of it for a while. After all, doctors in each region have their own medication habits.

Of course, in a few decades, by 2023, Pian Zai Huang will be well-known to everyone.
