A doctor who travels through two eras

The company opened and everyone started to get busy.

Lin Musen was busy decorating the Chinese medicine clinic. According to the clan leader's instructions, the decoration should be as luxurious as possible, with all mahogany furniture.

Lin Sanqi was busy choosing the company's office location and company registration matters.

Fortunately, there are 5 office buildings for rent in Shilou Village, all of which are skyscrapers. Villagers only need to rent them at half the price, so a location was quickly chosen.

Lin Sanqi, who was not short of money, rented half a floor on the 66th floor of Building B of Tianhe Center, which is 800 square meters. Half of it was used as an office area and the other half as a product display area.

In the future, the second floor of Lingnan Hall Chinese Medicine Clinic in May Square will be engaged in retail, while the company’s location in Tianhe Center will be engaged in wholesale, with different divisions of labor.

Lin Tianhua poached all his direct troops from Mercedes-Benz, including one who sold cars and another who sold Chinese medicinal materials. They avoided the restrictions of the contract for competition in the same industry and were able to start work directly.

As a result, Lingnantang Company’s sales team was quickly established, and it was an elite team, which could be said to have been achieved in one step.

The reason these sales elites were willing to follow Lin Tianhua to switch jobs, besides personal connections, more importantly, was that Lin Tianhua promised to double everyone's income.

There is no talent that cannot be hired with money. If you still cannot hire them, then continue to double the money...

Yin Lianyi's finance department has also been established.

Miss Yin poached her three college roommates and best friends. An annual salary of 3 was definitely the ceiling, so a group of young and energetic girls became a beautiful landscape of Lingnantang Company.

Anyway, Lin Sanqi always likes to go to the Finance Department to give instructions whenever he or she wants...

The processing workshop and cold storage warehouse were located in the "storage area" southwest of Shilou Village.

All the workers in Lingnan Hall are villagers from Shilou Village, so the location must be chosen in the village. This will make it convenient for the villagers to go to work, and the village protection team can also provide support at any time.

After all, the processing workshop contains top-quality Chinese medicinal materials and food ingredients. If someone steals just one box, it would result in heavy losses.

Of course, this processing and storage workshop is temporary. It will definitely have to be relocated as the company grows, as industry is not allowed in urban areas.

After being busy for more than a month, the company's affairs were finally almost settled. Lin Sanqi announced to the public that he was going to go out of town to purchase again, and then returned to 1959.

It was already December in Sijiu City, and the temperature of -12 degrees Celsius almost froze Lin Sanqi to death.

The most difficult thing for people from the south to adapt to when they come to work in the north is the climate.

Lin Sanqi stood in the yard, looking at the dark sky and feeling the cold northwest wind. He felt strange. Why wasn't it snowing?
As a native of Huadu, Lin Sanqi is looking forward to the snow very much. He is just waiting to enjoy the scenery of thousands of miles of ice and snow, the vastness of the Great Wall inside and outside, and the disappearance of the surging rivers.

Is it still called winter if there is no snow?
Lin Sanqi ran to the front yard trembling, and saw that every household was pasting paper on the windows, which made Lin Sanqi feel strange.

"Hey, Prince, why do you want to paste paper on the windows? It's pitch black in this room. Go get two pieces of glass."

When the old man saw that it was Lin Sanqi, a southerner, he began to teach him like a teacher:
"This is not ordinary paper. This is called Korean paper. Use it to cover the windows. This way, the cold wind won't blow into the house, and it will be much warmer in winter. If you use glass, the wind will blow through the corners and it won't be tight."

At that time, the glass was fixed with nails, and there was no later glass glue. In addition, the size of the window frame and the glass could not be perfectly matched, so people were still accustomed to the traditional method of paper pasting.

Lin Sanqi was still puzzled:
"But the lighting is bad. If the glass is not airtight enough, at worst we can use double-glazed glass and seal the gaps with paper strips."

The Beile was so angry that his teeth itched:

"If I could get the glass, I wouldn't need you to be whining here, get out of here!"

Lin Sanqi was disappointed, but at the same time he understood that glass, a common commodity in later times, was still quite valuable in this era.

At this time, Ma Dazhuang came in carrying a load of coal briquettes:
Lin Sanqi saw this and prepared to tease him:

"Hey, you little bastard, what's this load of yours? Is it furnace rolls or salted duck eggs?"

Hahahaha~~~Everyone in the yard started laughing.

Ma Dazhuang also laughed and said:

"If I had two baskets of donkey rolls, I wouldn't be so hungry. These are coal briquettes. I managed to get them with great difficulty. Damn, look at the quality of these coal briquettes."

Hou Daya was the first to run over:
"Do you have any left? My family hasn't bought any yet, so I have to go pick some up. Hey, Ma Dazhuang, did you buy coal balls or soil balls? Why are they all yellow soil?"

Hou Daya squeezed open a coal ball and found that it was full of yellow clay. Even a layman like Lin Sanqi could see that the coal content was very low.

Ma Dazhuang was so angry that he threw the carrying pole away:
"Who said it wasn't true? In previous years, we would mix some loess into the coal briquettes as a binder. Now, it's just a mixture of coal briquettes and loess. This kind of coal briquettes is not durable at all and produces a lot of smoke."

"Yeah, this is too shady." "We have to report this to the street office. We can't fool people like this."

Mixing loess into coal briquettes is an old trade in Beijing. The boss of Donglaishun made his fortune by relying on this craft. It is nothing new to everyone, but this is the first time to see such a low coal content.

At this time, Wu Xinhou also came out of the house and sighed:
"I have inquired about this matter. I heard that all the coal was sent to Big Brother. This year, our domestic coal shortage is very large. The country has no choice but to overcome it. Let's just overcome it."

Hou Daya was unhappy: "Overcome, how to overcome? Without coal, we have to eat raw food? Without coal, everyone will become popsicles in the winter, how can we have the energy to go to work?"

Lin Sanqi blinked and asked again: "Is honeycomb briquettes better? We can buy honeycomb briquettes. There are always ways to get them."

Lin Sanqi wanted to be a good person. After all, they were all neighbors, especially those with elderly and children at home. If there were no heating tools, people might really freeze to death, and the reputation of the yard would be ruined.

So he thought that he would find an excuse first, and then pretend that he had connections, and quietly buy dozens of tons of honeycomb coal in 2023 and transport it to the yard for everyone to share. In this way, he could help people and make some money at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

The prince burst out laughing and pointed at Lin Sanqi and cursed:
"You are just like Emperor Hui of Jin. The country was in chaos and people were starving to death. The emperor said: Why don't we eat meat? Lin, do you understand what this means?"

Lin Sanqi thought to himself, you old man are really bad, you always find ways to curse people, I am not like you, I am taking your kindness as my heart:

"My Lord, I know what you mean. It means that the feudal remnants of the Qing Dynasty used to bully the people and exploit the working people. If they eat too much meat porridge, they will all starve to death in the future."

The old man was so angry that he was like a Buddha born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He didn't even bother to paper the windows. He glared at Lin Sanqi fiercely:
Lin Sanqi glared back:
"Old man, don't glare at me. Your good days are only a few years away. Don't say I didn't warn you. Be nice to others now so you can suffer less in seven years. Otherwise, don't blame others for being too cruel if you are beaten to death and thrown into a stinky ditch."

The old man was not one to give in: "Why would I care about you? Who the hell are you?"

Matchmaker Wang quickly came out to smooth things over:

"Alright, alright, stop talking and think about what to do now. It will be hard to get through the winter without coal."

Lin Sanqi thought of another way:
"If there is no coal, can we burn firewood? Although firewood is not durable, it is better than nothing, right? Let's go to the outskirts of Beijing and chop some wood on our day off."

Hou Daya patted her thigh:

"Here's a solution. My mother's family is in Mentougou. I'll go there tomorrow to get some firewood. I'll use coal briquettes to keep warm at night, and use the wood stove to cook and boil water. I can get through the winter."

When the people in the yard heard that Ji Niaohou actually had a way, they immediately rushed over:

"Daya, please bring some for me too."

"That's right. We're from the same hospital. Why don't you bring a load back and we can split it up. Just tell me how much it costs."

The yard was noisy, but Lin Sanqi didn't bother to pay attention to it. After all, the Lin family would not be the only one that lacked coal. For a time traveler, this was not a big deal.

Arriving at the door of his father's house, Lin Sanqi knocked on the door and went in. A burst of warm air came out from inside.

There is a coal stove in the corner of the wall, with a chimney connected to the top of the stove to discharge the exhaust gas outside the house. This stove can be used to cook rice and boil water, as well as for heating. It was the main means of heating for the people in the capital at that time.

Anyway, no one in the princess's house built a fire pit or a fire wall. The house is so small, and if you built a fire pit, there would be no place to put things.

Besides, the coal supply for a stove is tight, so if you want to burn a fire pit, you will go bankrupt.

Today is the weekend. Jin Caifeng is sewing little cotton jackets with her two daughters-in-law, while Lin Jiageng and Lin Zhenzhen are playing by themselves in the house.

"Qizi, you've been sleeping for a few days, have you recovered? Look at you, you've become quite tanned after all this trip."

Jin Caifeng saw her youngest son come in, wearing reading glasses, holding a needle in his hand, and speaking words of heartache.

Lin Sanqi touched his face and thought to himself, I have been running around to start a company in 2023, and it seems that I have become tanned. It seems that I have to get white again.

"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry. By the way, are you making cotton-padded clothes for Jiageng and Zhenzhen? There are so many people in our family, we have to make one for each of them, right?"

Sister-in-law Fu Muxiang smiled and said:
"There are nine people in our family. If everyone makes one, where would we get so much cotton and cloth? All the cloth and cotton coupons in the house combined are only enough to cover the expenses of two children. Children grow up quickly, so we have to renovate once a year."

Lin Sanqi sat on the table and casually stuffed two oranges into the hands of his nephew and niece, then he started to touch the cotton:
"The quality of this cotton is not very good. It doesn't look like new cotton."

Lin Sanqi touched his mother's cotton-padded jacket and frowned:
"Mom, why is your cotton jacket so thin? It feels hard to the touch. I guess the cotton has been there for many years, right?"

Cotton-padded clothes or quilts will become "hardened" after being used for a long time. The cotton will become hard, and the gaps between the cotton fibers will become smaller and less.

In this way, the warmth retention of cotton clothes or quilts will be reduced, and the comfort of wearing them will also be reduced.

So if you want to keep warm, you must use new cotton. (End of this chapter)
