Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 31 School Examination
Fangyan was indeed right in his guess. The money and tickets in his superior's hands were rewards for him. The superior unit had already received the news from the police station yesterday afternoon. They held a brief meeting yesterday afternoon and finalized today's reward.

Twenty yuan, plus twenty kilograms of national food coupons, and ten kilograms of Beijing meat coupons.

There is also another award certificate, which was given to Fangyan in the name of Tongrentang.

These rewards are roughly half a month's salary, not too much or too little, but the key is the prefix of the title on the certificate: "Comrade Fangyan, the attending doctor." Before this, his identity as an attending doctor was only recognized by the store manager Wang Aiguo and his master Lu Donghua. Now it is different with this certificate. His identity as an attending doctor is directly endorsed by the official because it is issued by Tongrentang.

Although there was no requirement for a medical qualification certificate at that time, it was a big surprise for Fangyan to be directly recognized as a practicing doctor by the superior unit.

In this way, even if he no longer works at Tong Ren Tang in the future, his identity as an officially recognized attending physician will be included in his personal file.

Fangyan really didn't expect that after catching a thief on the bus yesterday afternoon, he would have such an unexpected surprise.

The superior leader was a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked very approachable with a smile on his face, and one could smell the scent of Chinese medicine on him. It was obvious that this leader was often on the front line of pharmaceutical production.

He had heard the news about Fangyan from the store manager Wang Aiguo yesterday. To be recognized by Lu Donghua and to have elders in his family who were doctors, in his eyes, Fangyan was simply a natural born doctor. He did not hide the admiration in his eyes at all.

He said to the crowd:

"This is the first time that Tongrentang has received praise from the public security system. The superiors are very happy this time. They said that Comrade Fangyan acted bravely and brought honor to our unit."

"Comrade Fangyan, you did a great job. Let's not talk about your courage. The key is that at this special time, many leaders are in Beijing for meetings. Compared with other units of the same nature as mine, which are relatively unknown, we can get a lot of attention."

"They probably didn't expect that we could stand out from several other units for being brave and righteous."

Fang Yan suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this. He said that the reactions from all sides were a bit too big. It turned out that it was just a special time and he did something that brought honor to the unit, which made the leaders look at him differently.

Looking back now, the passengers in the car were grateful to Fang Yan because their property was kept. The police station needed to establish a role model for someone who was brave enough to do something righteous and maintain public order, so this small matter was reported to the higher authorities. Just when Tongrentang needed to make a name for itself, this incident happened. A small matter was fueled and turned into a major event of extraordinary significance.

That is why Fangyan received so many awards, including banners, certificates, praises and rewards.

If these other people want to do this, they probably have to help take down a criminal gang.

Even if other people stand up at this time and do the same thing as Fangyan, their influence will not be as great as Fangyan's. Sometimes those who arrive first can eat meat, while those who arrive later can only drink soup.

After speaking to Fangyan and reading out the award, the leader did not leave in a hurry, but stayed on the scene, saying that he wanted to see Fangyan see patients.

Although he didn't say anything, everyone knew in their hearts that he wanted to see Fangyan treat the patient with his own eyes and demonstrate his ability before going back. After all, being a attending physician is such an important position, and if he is not capable enough and prescribes the wrong prescription, then it will be Tongrentang that suffers the loss.

This is also the reason why, although they issued the reward and acknowledged Fangyan's status as a sitting doctor on the award certificate, they did not increase his salary or make him receive the same salary as the sitting doctors.

Fangyan was not stupid. When the other party said that he wanted to watch him see patients, he knew that this was a test for him.

Jia Dapeng was asked to add a chair next to the examination table. Lu Donghua, Fang Yan, and their superior sat here together waiting for patients to come.

During the conversation, Fang Yan discovered that Mr. Lu and this superior were quite familiar with each other. He also learned his last name, Luo. Mr. Lu called him Director Luo. He didn't know what title he was specifically, but it seemed that he was in charge of medicinal materials.

Director Luo knows all about the processes of drug selection and he can even recite the properties and origins of medicinal materials by heart, which is in stark contrast to Liu Zude, a weak leader.

After hearing Wang Aiguo say that nowadays pharmacists are no longer forced to memorize the basics such as "Ode to Medicinal Properties", "Four Hundred Flavors" and "Song of Soup Recipes", Director Luo sighed again. Judging from the way he looked, it seemed that Fangyan did not have much contact with the store on a daily basis, so he was so emotional about this kind of thing.

In the past, apprentices learned for years. If they didn't work hard, they would be eliminated. Only those who learned well would be appreciated. Now everyone is equal. Who dares to bring out the old rules? If they are caught, it will be bad. Tongrentang is no longer the Tongrentang of the Le family. After it was nationalized, of course these rules were also changed.

Fortunately, Tong Ren Tang relies on the formulas of pills, powders, pastes and pills to survive, and the requirements for pharmacists are not that strict, otherwise most people would not be able to enter the store. As Director Luo said just now, the requirements for pharmacists are not just about being able to read and recognize medicines.

It can be seen that this person is a relatively old-fashioned and strict leader. Fangyan suddenly felt a little nervous. What if there is a difficult and complicated case that he cannot treat? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?

While I was thinking about it, the second patient came.

The man was a young man in his twenties, wearing a red vest and army green trousers. His face was red, and it looked like he had just done some exercise and had been exposed to the sun for a while. There were red marks of sunburn on his skin, and he burped after walking a few steps.

Fang Yan stared at the person who came in. As soon as he started the inspection, a lot of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

Director Luo glanced at Fangyan at this time, then pointed at the young man, indicating that he could receive the patient.

Fangyan nodded and greeted the patient.

After the young man sat down, he immediately spoke to Fang Yan:

"Doctor, I just finished moving things and now I feel a little uncomfortable."

"I keep burping and my throat is very dry. I have to give a speech this afternoon and I can't keep burping! I just went to the clinic at work and they said there's nothing they can do..."

"Burp!" The man was interrupted by a burp before he could finish his words.

"Well, don't panic, let me feel your pulse first." Fang Yan asked him to give him his hand, then looked at his tongue coating, and then he understood everything in his mind.

The dialect said:

"You have some wind-heat cold, and you moved things in the hot sun today. The heat evil has entered the upper part of the body, which has caused the symptoms."

"It's actually not that difficult to solve your hiccup problem."

The young man breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

After hearing this, Director Luo also came forward and placed his fingers on the other person's wrist. After a while, he nodded:

"Yes, the diagnosis is correct."

Then he said to the dialect:

"So how are you going to prescribe the medicine?"

Fang Yan didn't expect Director Luo to be able to diagnose pulses, but he soon calmed down and said:

"He has a speech this afternoon, so the results must be quick, so I plan to use acupuncture."
