A doctor who travels through two eras

Seeing his brother-in-law looking intoxicated, Fu Hongliang smiled and introduced:
"Dad, Mom, little brother, you came at the right time. Now is the time when our Yunnan mushrooms are the most plump. Look, that pot is the wild mushroom hotpot. And that pottery jar contains the famous steamed chicken, and..."

Lin Sanqi came to Yunnan for the first time in his life and became very interested in the local delicacies:
"Brother-in-law, do you have the Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles?"

Fu Hongliang smiled and said:
"Yes, yes, yes. Not only do we have cross-bridge rice noodles, but we also have Honghe small rolls, Dai-style pilaf, black three chops, Dajiujia, etc. These are all our Yunnan specialties."

Shen Wenqiu also spoke for her husband at this time:
"Mom, Dad, little brother, Hong Liang took great pains to get these special delicacies. He even invited the chef from our army canteen to come out. You must taste them carefully."

Shen Guoming was obviously very satisfied with his son-in-law's hospitality:
"Hongliang, thank you for your hard work. It's not easy to prepare so many ingredients under the current situation. This is just one meal, so don't spend too much money in the next few days. If you keep eating like this, you and Xiaoqiu's food coupons and meat coupons will all be used up."

In 1962, the famine was only alleviated. At most, people no longer starved to death. However, it was still a luxury to have enough and good food, and this situation would continue for more than ten years.

Especially in the border areas of Yunnan where there is little farmland.

Before he finished speaking, a hearty voice rang out at the door:

"President Shen, Commissioner Lin, from now on, your meals will be covered by our troops. How can we let our distinguished guests be dissatisfied?"

A few soldiers walked in from outside the box. Fu Hongliang was surprised at first, so he quickly stood up and introduced them:

"Dad, little brother, this is our Army Commander Cao Zhiyang. Army Commander Cao, why are you here?"

Commander Cao smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking Shen Guoming's hand:

"I have long heard of Dean Shen of the Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He is my senior. This time when Dean Shen comes to Yunnan, I, as the host, must entertain him well. Otherwise, I will be laughed at by my old friends."

The army is a big family. When you talk about relationships within the army, you will find that everyone you talk about is old comrades and old friends.

Shen Guoming is such a smart man, but he is just a retired director of a hospital. How could he have the face to ask the chief of the Kunming garrison to come out to receive him?

The person they really wanted to entertain was their godson who was drooling beside them:

"Hello, Commander Cao. My sons Hongliang and Xiaoqiu are serving under you. We are sorry to cause you trouble.

Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to this person, Comrade Lin Sanqi, Deputy Minister of the General Logistics Department, Director of the Capital Infectious Disease Hospital, Executive Deputy Commissioner of Fushan District and Secretary of Baoan County.

Lin Sanqi's duties were diverse and complicated, involving both political and military affairs. He was probably the first person in the country to do so.

They were all wonderful people, and they all understood each other tacitly. Cao Zhiyang took the opportunity to extend his hand:
"Commissioner Lin, I have heard of you for a long time. You are the youngest dean, the youngest colonel, and the youngest commissioner in our country. Today I finally get to meet you."

Lin Sanqi quickly saluted: "Hello, Commander Cao."

How dare Cao Zhiyang be so arrogant?
Although Lin Sanqi's military rank was one level lower than his, he was the deputy minister of the Central Military Commission's Ministry of Health. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a close minister to the emperor.

If we really talk about connections and energy, he has ten or a hundred times more than Cao Zhiyang. After all, he is just a small military commander in a frontier province.

So he quickly stood up and returned the greeting:
"Hello, Central Leader!"

Lin Sanqi was so scared that he dodged to the side and said jokingly:
"General Cao, please don't scare me. If Leader Wu and Leader Jing knew that I was acting so arrogant in front of the local comrades, they would kill me when I get back."

This is a polite statement, but in fact he is still pretending to be powerful, always mentioning the big leader to scare people.

Sure enough, Cao Zhiyang smiled even more when he heard this:
"President Shen, Commissioner Lin, come on, since you are in our army, you can't let Comrade Fu Hongliang treat you today. It's on me, I'll give the meal tickets and meat tickets to Hongliang later.

Come, everyone, take a seat. Let me tell you, today’s chief chef is actually the chef of Fuzhaolou. The Yunnan cuisine he cooks is truly amazing. Today, everyone is in for a treat, haha.”

Lin Sanqi was already impatient after smelling the smell:
"Eat, eat, eat. Oh, I've been hungry all day. You can't go to the toilet on airplanes nowadays. I've been holding it in all the way and I don't dare to eat anything."

Commander Cao joked, "Then Commissioner Lin can have a fairy scatter flowers in the sky. That will be a beautiful scene."

Hahaha, everyone laughed. But before everyone could sit down politely, another cadre hurried in from outside the door. This time it was an old acquaintance.

The person who came was Director Zhao Youxia of the Yunnan Health Department. He was holding two bottles of wine and began to complain:

"Fortunately, fortunately, I am not late. Dean Shen, Comrade Sanqi, we haven't seen each other for a long time, haha. Commander Cao, you are a rude person. When guests come from afar, how can you eat alone without notifying everyone?"

Commander Cao laughed out loud: "Good for you, Old Zhao, you have a really good nose. Come on, we haven't started eating yet, you've come just in time."

Although Lin Sanqi was at the same level as everyone else, he was the youngest present, so he quickly stood up:

"Director Zhao, long time no see. I'm here to visit my brother-in-law and sister. It's a private trip. How can I trouble you and Commander Cao?"

Zhao Youxia put two bottles of wine on the table and said with a smile:
"I got the news when your plane just left the capital. Last year, when I was attending a meeting in Guizhou, I invited you to visit Yunnan. Today, I finally got the chance.

Come, come, this is our Yunnan specialty Yulin Spring Wine, it is sweet and refreshing, and tastes great. I treasure it and don’t let ordinary people drink it. Dean Shen and Commissioner Lin are here today, let’s not go home until we are drunk.”

Fu Hongliang and Shen Wenqiu looked at each other and saw confusion and shock in each other's eyes.

They were both just ordinary junior cadres and military doctors in the army, and they usually did not come into contact with big figures like Commander Cao and Director Zhao.

As a result, with the arrival of his little brother, the two great gods were attracted at once. It seems that the power of this cheap little brother Lin is beyond their imagination.

Originally, they had always thought that Lin Sanqi climbed to the top with the help of their father, and they had a vague sense of superiority in their hearts. However, now their father's status is far inferior to Lin Sanqi's.

At this time, Commander Cao and Director Zhao also started to make plans in their minds.

Commander Cao knew that the cash donated by Lin Sanqi to the Huadu Military Region reached more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. He could earn millions every year just from those veterans. That was all money.

By then, any bit of the food that the God of Wealth Lin leaked out would be enough to feed his frontier division.

Director Zhao understood Lin Sanqi's power better. Regardless of anything else, as long as he served this gentleman well, no matter how much penicillin he needed, it would not be a problem.

The key point is that Lin Sanqi now has an anti-tuberculosis treatment project in his hands, and Director Zhao very much hopes that Yunnan can become the first province to carry out tuberculosis treatment.

After three rounds of drinking, General Cao saw that the atmosphere was almost tense, so he started to complain:

"President Shen, Commissioner Lin, you don't know that we in Yunnan are very poor. We have eight mountains, one river, and one piece of land. We really have no industry and no agriculture. We are completely poor."

Lin Sanqi thought that Yunnan was a little poor, but it was much better than the neighboring Sichuan Province.

Why? Because there are too many ethnic minorities in Yunnan, so in order to maintain stability and unity in the border areas, the large-scale grain collection in the interior was much milder in Yunnan.

From 1959 to 1961, Sichuan Province transferred a total of 147 billion jin of grain to other provinces, accounting for two-thirds of the total grain output of Sichuan Province.

The amount of grain transferred out of YN Province is not even a fraction of that of Sichuan Province. Of course, the inconvenient transportation also makes it a big advantage. After all, Sichuan Province has trains, but Yunnan does not.

The tragedy for Yunnan is that it provided too much free aid to its southern neighbor, and then raised an ungrateful person.

When Minister Zhao heard that Commander Cao had begun to complain, he quickly followed suit:

"Yes, Commissioner Lin, you don't know that last year we used our specialty products to exchange for penicillin, and we only got 10 bottles in total. But this amount sent to our province is simply a drop in the bucket.

Now we have 16 prefecture-level cities and more than 160 counties in Yunnan, as well as troops in border areas. In addition, everyone can share the money among the systems. Less than 5000 bottles were distributed to our Health Department.

5000 bottles sounds like a lot, but when it comes to clinical use, it’s only a few. Oh my god, it’s so hard for me as the director. I wanted to rush to the capital immediately and find Dean Lin. Oh no, now I have to complain to Commissioner Lin.”

Lin Sanqi thought that after his Baoan Pharmaceutical Park was completed, in addition to the first batch of anti-tuberculosis drugs, this penicillin production line was also the top priority. (End of this chapter)
