Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 316: High-priced premium bezoar, two assistants in place

When he arrived at the store, Fang Yan saw Le Miao was already in the store.

While the others were cleaning and the patient had not yet arrived, Fang Yan asked her:
"Ledian, do we accept bezoar in our store?"

Le Miao was startled, nodded and said:
"Yes."

Then she asked:
"Is it bile duct jaundice or liver jaundice? Dry or wet? The price per gram can differ by a lot."

Fang Yan did not answer her question, but asked:

"What's the exact price?"

Le Miao took out a notebook and showed the contents to Fang Yan, saying:
"The price in March this year was 28 yuan per gram for wet bile yellow, and 25 yuan per gram for tube yellow and liver yellow. After drying, the price increased by 10 yuan, making bile yellow 38 yuan per gram, and tube yellow and liver yellow 35 yuan per gram."

"This thing is hard to collect, and the price will probably go up by the end of this year or next year."

Fangyan was still slightly surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect that the purchase price was so much higher than the last time at Dongzhimen Hospital.

He remembered that Dean Ouyang bought it for 10 yuan.

Of course, what he buys is wet, and he will also bring doctors to the local area to do physical examinations and train village doctors.

Fang Yan thought for a moment and said to Le Miao:
“How much can the price increase be?”

Le Miao responded:
"It's about one dollar to one dollar and fifty cents per gram, and it goes up every year."

After hearing this, Fangyan gave up the idea of ​​keeping it.

He took out the bezoar directly and handed it to Le Miao's counter:
"Come, take a look at the music store."

Seeing the bezoar wrapped in paper, Le Miao was surprised:

"Wow, it's quite big, even after it's dried."

She stared at it from left to right and found that the black shiny film on it was already reflecting light. She said:

"This 'Black Gold Robe' looks a bit old. Where did you get it?"

Fangyan did not hide it from her and said:

"My brother-in-law brought it from Inner Mongolia."

Le Miao was surprised:
"My goodness, what kind of people are in your family? This local specialty is too hard!"

Fangyan responded:
"They didn't bring it to me. They were going to exchange it for living expenses when they returned to the city."

After that, he said to Le Miao:

"Look, what organ of the cow did this come from?"

Le Miao looked at it and said:
"Oval, no annular stratification, probably from the gallbladder."

"If it is from the bile duct or liver duct, it will be an irregular spherical or lumpy shape with annular layer patterns, and the texture will not be so fine. It is a rare and good bezoar."

After that, he curiously asked Fang Yan:

"Do you really want to sell it?"

Fangyan explained again:
"I already told you it's not mine. I'm selling it for someone else."

Le Miao said:

"Then I'll test it according to the rules."

"Let me make it clear first, there will be some minor losses."

"Yes, sure." Fang Yan nodded and agreed.

After getting Fangyan's consent, Le Miao took out a silver needle and carefully scraped a small amount of the ingredient from the bezoar. Then, he added a few drops of cold boiled water to mix it and applied it on his nails, dyeing them yellow.

I rinsed it with water but it didn't come off, then I wiped it with a tissue but it still didn't come off.

Le Miao nodded, then licked her nails with her tongue.

Then he said to the other side:

"It has a fragrant smell, bitter but sweet, and a cool feeling. This piece of bezoar is real."

Hearing this, Fang Yan asked:

"Then weigh it and give it to me according to the store's purchase price."

Le Miao said:

"Just sell it to me. I'll give you 40 per gram."

Fang Yan was puzzled when he heard that Le Miao actually raised the price on his own initiative:

"You want to buy it? Forty is the retail price, so wouldn't it be a big loss if you use it yourself?"

This price...isn't it the same as in the store?

Le Miao said:

“This is good quality, it’s worth it.”

"Besides, we trade directly, which saves the store from making a profit from the price difference."

Fangyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked curiously:
"What did you buy this for?"

Le Miao said:

"I'm going to Hong Kong at the end of the year, so I have to bring some gifts for my family."

Fang Yan suddenly understood, nodded and said:

"Okay then. I'll listen to you and weigh it."

Le Miao responded, and then began to weigh it, and then showed it to Fang Yan after it was weighed:

"It's 38.8 grams in total. Taking into account the loss just now, let's calculate it as 39 grams. At 40 yuan per gram, I should give you a total of 1560 yuan."

Fangyan nodded:
"Yeah, that's right."

Le Miao took out a wooden box, put the bezoar in it, and said:
"I'll take the things. I'll go home and get the money for you later."

"Okay." Fangyan nodded.

As soon as the two of them completed the transaction, patients started coming to the store.

Fangyan immediately started treating the patient.

The first patient today was a deaf-mute girl. She was not accompanied by her family. As soon as she entered the room, she started gesturing to Fangyan. Although Fangyan did not know sign language, her comprehension ability was good enough. I understood that she was saying that she had insomnia, frequent dreams, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.

After Fangyan checked, he found that the situation was similar to that of the Queen.

Only the pine nut soup can be effective.

But it takes a lot of time to make this thing. It's hard for a normal person to make it, let alone a deaf-mute girl.

The only way to get the medicine for this problem is at Tong Ren Tang.

Fang Yan thought about it and suddenly remembered that Director Luo had promised him to send two assistants to him.

"Ledian, Director Luo promised me an assistant. Can he be here today?"

Le Miao put down the work in his hands and said:

“It’s in place.”

Then she glanced at her watch:
"It's about time. Both of them should be here soon."

Fangyan asked:

"Do you know who they are?"

Le Miao recalled and said:

"Both are male comrades in their early thirties, and their length of service is longer than Jia Dapeng's."

Jia Dapeng, who was waiting on the side, said:

"Ledian, just because they have been working there for a long time doesn't mean they are good!"

"Maybe they don't know anything?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help laughing. Jia Dapeng felt a sense of crisis. The person who came was more experienced than him and probably had more skills than him. This made him very alert.

At this moment, a voice came from the door:
"Hello, who is the manager of Le Miao?"

Everyone looked towards the door, only to see a middle-aged man with dark skin standing at the door, carefully looking at everyone in the store.

"It's me." Le Miao stepped forward and responded.

The middle-aged man said quickly:
"Hello, I am the person who was transferred here to be the assistant of the attending doctor. My name is Xie Guolai."

At this time, Jia Dapeng hurriedly asked:
"Do you have experience as an assistant?"

The middle-aged man named Xie Guolai nodded and said:
"Yes! I worked as an assistant to Dr. Hu Daoqiu for two and a half years..."

Jia Dapeng's face suddenly looked a little ugly.

At this time, Le Miao pointed at Fang Yan and said:

"Okay, that's our attending doctor, Doctor Fang Yan Fang. You just need to follow his instructions now."

Xie Guolai nodded quickly and looked at Fang Yan.

He said to him quickly:
"I've heard a lot about you, Doctor Fang!"

At this time Fangyan bowed to him.

Then he asked:

"Comrade Xie Guolai, do you know about cypress seed soup?"

Xie Guolai nodded and said:

"You can just call me Old Xie. I've seen the recipe in a book."

The dialect said:

"Okay, now I need you to make a decoction of pine nuts. It requires stir-frying, steaming, roasting, and soaking in wine. Do you have any questions about these preparation steps?"

Xie Guolai said carefully:

"I have never made pine nut soup, but I know how to prepare it, so it should be no problem."

Fang Yan nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll write the prescription, you go get the medicine, and then go to the backyard to make it."

"I understand!" Xie Guolai nodded. He knew this was a test for him.

Fangyan soon finished writing the prescription. At the same time, Fangyan gestured to the deaf-mute girl, telling her that it would take a while for the medicine to be boiled, and she could go out for a walk and come back later, or wait here.

After the deaf-mute girl understood, she gestured in the dialect again.

What she meant was that she came from somewhere else and just had to wait here.

Fangyan nodded, asked Jia Dapeng to find a stool for her, and then took out some movie magazine albums to entertain her.

Then the treatment of the next person began.

When the needles were inserted, Jia Dapeng muttered in dialect:

"Brother Fang, you can leave this matter to me. I can also prepare medicine."

After hearing what Fang Yan said to him:
"If you want to do it for a long time, it's best to develop in one direction. I think acupuncturists are very good. You can let others do things like boiling medicine."

"This guy is not here to steal your job, you have to know that."

Jia Dapeng nodded thoughtfully:
"I understand."

By the time they finish treating a patient, it is already time to go to work.

Fangyan went to find that another assistant had not arrived yet.

However, there are relatively few patients today, so there is no urgent need for help.

Just after half an hour of work, a middle-aged man with messy hair finally came to the door. After entering the door, he looked around and asked everyone:

"Excuse me...who is the store manager? I'm the doctor's assistant reporting in!"

Le Miao glanced at him and said:

"Hello, I'm Le Miao, the store manager here."

Then he walked up and said to Le Miao:
"Hello, my name is Xiao Liu."

"There was an emergency at home today, so I was late."

Le Miao asked him:
“How long have you been an assistant?”

The middle-aged man named Xiao Liu said:
"I have one and a half years of experience, and I worked as a pharmacist before."

At this time, Le Miao pointed to the examination table and said:
"That's Doctor Fang Yan Fang. You will be his assistant from now on."

"So young?" Xiao Liu asked in surprise.

Then he smiled, scratched his head and said:
"I'm sorry, I heard that the business here is very good, so they need an assistant. I thought it was an old doctor. Mainly, I have always cooperated with old doctors. I didn't expect that this time it was such a young doctor..."

After he said this, everyone looked at him strangely.

Even Fangyan felt that this person's emotional intelligence seemed to have some problems.
