A doctor who travels through two eras

The next day, when Jin Caifeng opened the gate to the back garden, she found a mountain of cabbages piled on the ground.

He was so frightened that he immediately covered his chest with his hands, quickly closed the door, and ran upstairs.

"Chinese cabbage, so many Chinese cabbages. Wow, there are also so many radishes. I don't know where this brat got them."

Jin Caifeng was so happy. For ordinary people, the most simple wish is to have food at home and not be hungry. Especially in years of famine, nothing is more important than a bite to eat.

Now as the mistress of the family, she was worrying about how to get through the winter, when her youngest son gave her a big gift.

Just as the old lady was happily counting the vegetables, she suddenly found a small box of green vegetables next to it.

Jin Caifeng even doubted her own eyes. She quickly squatted down and picked it up to take a look. It was standard Guangzhou choy sum, which was the favorite vegetable of Huadu people.

Only people in Huadu know how precious it is to have a bite of fresh Chinese cabbage in the far and cold north. It can be said that it is more precious than pork.

Jin Caifeng knew that the longer the night, the more trouble she would have. If she was seen by the neighbors in the courtyard, she would have no way to explain herself. So she quietly returned to the middle courtyard and knocked on the doors of her two sons' homes.

"Licorice, Eucommia, you two should also take a day off today. After sending the kids to school, hurry to the back garden."

Lin Gancao was a little confused: "Auntie, what's wrong? Don't we need to dry the cabbages from yesterday for a few days before we can make pickles? Why are we going to the back garden now?"

Jin Caifeng lowered her voice and said:
"Qizi brought a lot of cabbage and radishes early in the morning. We have to go and clean them up quickly. If the neighbors see us, they will think we got them from thieves."

When they heard that there were vegetables, Lin Gancao and Lin Duzhong realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately hurried to the backyard.

So when Lin Kucan went to work, he asked his son and daughter-in-law for leave, and the family started working in the back garden.

Lin Sanqi was no longer at home at this time, as he had gone out to work early.

He first went to the Finance Department and received 1.5 yuan in cash.

At 1000 yuan per bundle, there are 15 bundles of Big Black Ten. Lin Sanqi has decided to take the money to the antique market in 2023 to have someone identify it. There might be precious banknotes with collectible value in it.

After completing the formalities, Zheng Meimei, the chief of the Finance Department, asked mysteriously:
"Xiao Qi, let me give you a heads up, what supplies are you going to purchase for our hospital?"

Lin Sanqi blinked, thinking that he was just a time-traveling purchasing director, and could buy whatever he wanted, so he might as well take the opportunity to ask the employees what they needed.

"Chief Zheng, if you were asked to represent the employees in the selection, what would you like me to purchase to be welcomed by the employees?"

Section Chief Zheng really thought about it seriously:

"It would be best if each person got 100 catties of flour, 20 catties of pork, 10 catties of sugar, and 10 catties of cotton. Each person would get 10 feet of cotton cloth. Oh, 30 catties of cabbage is not enough. It would be best if each person got 100 catties. Also, some radishes and sweet potatoes. Melon seeds and peanuts are indispensable. Finally, there is more..."

Lin Sanqi's face darkened when he heard this. "Chief Zheng, if you want to make a wish, you'd better go to Lama Temple."

Section Chief Zheng laughed out loud:
"I'm just kidding. It's mainly meat and flour. We've been hungry for a year. New Year's Day is coming soon. It would be nice to make some dumplings with some meat, right?"

People in the north like to make dumplings during the Chinese New Year. This is how Lin Sanqi is performed during the Spring Festival Gala. This ritualistic requirement must be met.

So Lin Sanqi smiled and said, "Although this wish is difficult, I will try my best."

After saying that, Lin Sanqi took out two oranges from his pocket and placed them on the table of the God of Wealth. Zheng Meimei's eyes lit up at the sight, as these were fruits that were popular in winter.

After leaving the Finance Department, Lin Sanqi ran to the Pharmacy Department, where the department director Zhou Mingzhe was counting ginseng.

"Uncle Zhou, I'm here. Is the wild ginseng ready?"

"It's ready. There are five hundred-year-old ginsengs in here, 5 between 80 and 100 years old, and 16 between 50 and 80 years old. The supply and marketing cooperative just sent them here early this morning. Please take a look."

Lin Sanqi was ecstatic when he heard this. The quantity and quality were much better and better than he had imagined. It would be a priceless treasure in 2023.

"Uncle Zhou, I trust you to do the job. No need to order. But I can't carry so many ginsengs by myself. I need someone to help me put them in the car."

At this time, Section Chief Zhou quietly pulled Lin Sanqi and whispered:

"Xiao Qi, Uncle Zhou wants you to do him a favor. Your brother Gangzi is getting married in the New Year, and he wants you to help get more meat. Don't worry, Uncle knows how precious pork is now, and he will definitely not let you go in vain."

After he finished speaking, a small yellow croaker appeared in Lin Sanqi's palm.

Lin Sanqi thought that one should not judge a person by his appearance. His old man secretly kept 40 large yellow croakers, and it seemed that Zhou Mingzhe also had a lot of private goods at home.

"Uncle Zhou, why are you so polite? Take the small yellow croaker back, and I'll take care of the pork."

Lin Sanqi certainly wouldn't want this small yellow croaker. How much is pork worth? The favor of the leader who is in charge of the entire hospital's medicinal materials is valuable. Sure enough, Section Chief Zhou was very pleased, so he promised:

"Uncle knows that you like wild ginseng from Northeast China. Don't worry, I will keep the good stuff for you in the future."

Lin Sanqi thought to himself, the old man said:
"Okay, Uncle Zhou, the more wild ginseng the better for me. Please fill in more on the purchase list next time. I will buy it at the market price afterwards and will never embarrass you."

"Okay, let's make it a deal."

After getting the money and ginseng, Lin Sanqi drove out of the hospital in a jeep.

Dean Shen stood at the window, watching Lin Sanqi's jeep disappear, and said to Vice Dean Ji beside him with a smile:
"Old Ji, it looks like our Chinese Medicine Hospital will have a good year this year. Once Lin Sanqi takes action, there will definitely be some gains, otherwise this kid would not have agreed to go at all."

Vice President Ji sighed softly:

"3 yuan is not too little, but not too much either. We are such a big hospital, and there is not much left for each person. Old Shen, I tell you the truth, I often go to the black market, and the situation is not optimistic. It's not a matter of money, but there is no stock at all.

If it doesn’t snow this winter, the disasters next year will only get worse. I’m really worried. What will happen if it continues like this? I don’t know if there will be a second round of layoffs.”

Dean Shen sat back in his chair and pondered for a while:

"Do you think our farm in Changping will have a harvest next year? At least it can provide food for more than 400 employees in our hospital, right?"

Vice President Ji shook his head:

"I'm afraid it's difficult. I've been to that farm many times. The land given to us is newly reclaimed wilderness, and it's on the side of a mountain. Can you imagine how fertile this land can be? The good land has already been occupied by other farmers.

Poor fields are fine, but the key is that there is no water. The Ming Tombs Reservoir built last year also has no water. The organization asked me to be in charge of Changping Farm. I am so worried that my hair is almost completely white. Others think that being an official is very impressive, but now I think it is better to be an ordinary doctor, which is less troublesome. "

Dean Shen smiled bitterly:
"Let's endure it together. There are so many employees and their families. The organization has handed them over to us. How can we just ignore them? If one of them really starves to death, you and I will become the eternal sinners of the Chinese Medicine Hospital."

Lin Sanqi was not present, but if he were, he would definitely give a thumbs up to President Shen and Vice President Ji. They are good officials who are dedicated to serving the people.

At this time, Lin Sanqi's small jeep had already passed Deshengmen and headed towards Changping.

The hospital welfare procurement this time was not difficult for Lin Sanqi. In fact, he did not need to go out of town to purchase. However, the hospital leaders were all watching this matter, so he had to go out even if it was just for show.

So Lin Sanqi also wanted to take this opportunity to travel and hang out outside for ten days or half a month.

In order to show how difficult it was for him to purchase supplies, he must have pretended to go to a few conspicuous places to ask around and make sure that his work "left traces."

The first stop was chosen to be Changping. Firstly, the Chinese Medicine Hospital Farm was in Changping, and he would take up his post after the Chinese New Year, so he wanted to go and see it in advance.

Secondly, there is a Ming Tombs scenic area in Changping, and he wanted to visit it. The tomb of Emperor Wanli had just been dug up.

The cultural relics and ancient buildings preserved in China are all authentic from the Ming and Qing dynasties. In a few years, many treasures will no longer be visible.
After the car passed Deshengmen, there was no Beijing-Tibet Expressway directly connected to Changping. At this time, there was only a two-lane asphalt road that could be driven on, and there were farmlands on both sides of the road.

Because there was no snow or rain, all the farmlands were barren. There was no trace of green at a glance, as if there was no life at all.

Lin Sanqi thought that with such bare fields, it would be difficult for people to eat tree bark, so where would there be any food to feed pigs?
There were almost no cars on the road, and the little jeep was moving very fast, heading north...

The Chinese Medicine Hospital Farm is located at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, in a place called "Xiaogongmen".

Accompanied by Yang Shaohua, deputy chief of the logistics department of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and the future chief of the logistics department of the branch hospital, Lin Sanqi began to visit the place where he would need to work and fight in the future.

On a small hillside, Yang Shaohua was sitting on the ground, wolfing down a roast chicken.

Lin Sanqi put his hands on his hips and looked at the wasteland in front of him with a pounding heart. My goodness, this is really a vast and boundless land. Unfortunately, there is no grass and no cattle or sheep. It looks so desolate no matter how you look at it.

"Chief Yang, how big is our farm?"

"Yeah, 2000 acres, that's not a small area."

Lin Sanqi looked at the land at the foot of the mountain and was a little surprised: "2000 acres? It doesn't seem like it."

While chewing the roast chicken, Yang Shaohua said casually:
"It is indeed 2000 acres, but it includes 1000 acres of mountain land, the hill under our feet. The remaining less than 1000 acres are arable land."

Lin Sanqi looked back at the bare hill. There were only a few trees and it was mostly bare rocks.

"Chief Yang, this hill too? What do we need this rocky hill for? And why do I feel like there are bare rocks everywhere in the fields? The soil doesn't look very thick. A gust of wind can blow up the loess. How can we grow crops like this?" (End of this chapter)
