Small supermarket welcomes visitors from all directions

Chapter 22 Antipyretics
The two men did not dare to delay and hurried home to get their household registration papers. They first went to the headman's house, and then returned to the yamen without stopping. It took less than half an hour in total.

When they entered the big house where they received food, they heard that the food contained salt. They were both surprised. How could the food contain salt? They had received relief food before, and it was definitely not good food. They wanted to have it in shells. Then they looked at the food they received in front of them and found that it was in powder form. It made sense that the food contained salt. They thought that the government was really good and saved money on buying salt.

It was Wang Yue who suggested adding salt to the grain. At that time, Tang Qiao was placing an order with Song Jiyang, and Li Xiaofei, Liu Xuehua and Wang Yue were listening. Li Xiaofei was curious about why Tang Qiao wanted to order broken rice instead of full grains of rice. Then Wang Yue told Li Xiaofei that Tang Qiao was worried that officials would not want to give rice to the people because it was good, so he came up with this idea. Li Xiaofei gave Tang Qiao a thumbs up and praised him for being smart. He prevented corruption and saved trouble for the people. It was not easy to pound rice in ancient times.

Wang Yue thought at the time that when there was no food to eat, few people would buy salt, and those who had money would use it to buy food. There must be many people who could not afford salt, and they would not mind adding some salt since they had already ordered the rice crumbs!

Wang Yue immediately told Tang Qiao that he could add some salt. Tang Qiao asked about the price and found out that the price was negligible, so he adopted this solution immediately. As for nitrite and other things that are easy to spoil, Tang Qiao did not consider them at all. These things must give way to life.

The two of them happily took the food back home. At least they didn't have to worry about food for this month.

Just as busy as the government offices were the clinics. Five days ago, the government gathered together the doctors and waiters from all the large and small clinics in Chang'an City and began training them in the use of Western medicine and thermometers. During this severe cold wave, 95% of the patients who went to the clinics had fever and colds.

The five-day training does not require any medical knowledge to be taught. All you need to know is how to use a thermometer, how to use antipyretics, the dosage of anti-inflammatory drugs, when to use which medicine, and the differences between using medicine for children and adults.

A large quantity of medicines arrived yesterday and were distributed to each clinic. They will not be sold to individuals. If you are sick, you go to the clinic and ask the doctor what medicine to use. If you have a fever, you can only go back after the fever has gone down in the clinic.

Jirentang is very busy now. Zhao Xuanming is the owner of this clinic and also practices medicine in the clinic.

Since the weather started to cool down two months ago, the clinic's business has been getting better and better, but Zhao Xuanming doesn't feel happy at all.

During this period, most people who went to the clinic had fevers. They were hot to the touch. Some of them recovered after taking medicine, but some of them could not recover for a long time. What good would happen to a person who had a fever for several days? Even if they were saved, their brains were damaged, and some died directly. In such a small clinic, people died almost every day during peak hours, and the most serious ones were the elderly and children. At first, it was very painful to see them, and I couldn't bear it, but later I was basically numb to it.

I was asked to go to a training a few days ago. The doctor said that the fever can basically be reduced by using the new medicine. If it can't be reduced, physical cooling methods can be used to reduce the fever. Anyway, there is always a way to reduce the fever. To be honest, as long as the fever is reduced, the disease will be cured slowly.

Just yesterday, new medicine arrived, and those who had sick people at home all came. The government stipulated that patients could only go to the clinic to reduce their fever, but the clinic was not big and could not accommodate so many people, so they borrowed the restaurant next door that had been closed for a long time, and that was barely enough.

It may be that the patients here have never used Western medicine to reduce fever, so the effect is surprisingly good. Many of them only need to use antipyretics once or twice, and then take cold medicine for one or two days to basically recover.

Zhao Xuanming was visiting a little girl named Niuniu, who was five years old. She was a little chubby and was being held by her mother. When she saw Doctor Zhao, she asked, "Doctor Zhao, can you please see how my Niuniu is doing?"

Zhao Xuanming didn't touch it with his hands yet, but just looked at it and saw beads of sweat on his nose and forehead, and his face was not as red as it was at the beginning: "The fever has subsided, you can come and get some medicine later and go home."

Niu Niu's mother was obviously worried: "Otherwise, I'll feed her medicine here, and you can let me take a look if there is any situation." Niu Niu's mother looked at Zhao Xuanming with a pleading look.

Zhao Xuanming understood Niuniu's mother very well. Their family lived on this street and opened a cloth shop. About ten days ago, a cold took away their two-year-old son. A few days ago, the daughter fell ill again. Since the child started to get sick yesterday, her mother didn't dare to blink and held the child all night.

Zhao Xuanming still refused cruelly: "There are so many patients here, it's not good for the child to recover. You take Niuniu back first, she basically doesn't have a fever now, if there is anything, call me, I'll be there in a few steps. Don't worry, Niuniu will be fine."

Zhao Xuanming hadn't closed his eyes since yesterday. Although he was tired, he was happy that no one had died since yesterday! Being tired was nothing. Wang Yue was watching videos and her tablet was given to Princess Xixi to watch cartoons. Delis asked Wang Zhe about plants. She found a new direction today, which was grafting. Anyway, they still had something to talk about. Everyone else was doing their own things.

Wang Yue was a little bored after watching videos for a while, and didn't know what to do. Just then, a "beep" sound came from the computer, and several people instantly turned their eyes to the portal, wondering who had returned.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement at the location of the passage. Wang Yue even ran to the location and touched it with his hand, but there was nothing.

At this time, there was another "beep" sound, but still nothing. Wang Yue hurried to check the computer. It seemed that there was new news from the Plane Supermarket, and the page had been refreshed.

Supermarket
Host: Wang Yue

Age: 25 years old

Connected planes: 3

Merit points: 2 points

Note: ...

……

Wang Yue carefully read the updated content and said to the people who gathered around, "The system prompted me that I have two merit points."

Everyone has heard Wang Yue talk about merit points. No one paid attention to it before, but everyone is curious this time.

“Are merit points gained by doing good deeds?”

"Merit points are gained by doing good deeds, but it's not just doing good deeds. It should be saving lives! Otherwise, I did good deeds before, so why didn't I get this? This time, I guess it was the food and medicine that Tang Qiao sent that worked."

"Hasn't it only been two days since it was delivered? Has it taken effect so quickly?"

“It should be medicine!”

"Wang Yue, what is the use of merit points?"

"Merit points are a good thing. The nearest goal is to connect to a higher plane. If we work harder, we can travel in the reverse direction, and then we can travel in a directional direction." Wang Yue smiled mysteriously: "Do you know what the next goal is?"
