Chapter 148 What valuable medicines are there in South China
"There are so many Phyllostachys sibiricum, Ferngrass, Alcyonium sibiricum, Curcuma zedoary, Cassia, Andrographis paniculata, Imperata cogongrass, Schizonepeta, Trichosanthes trichosanthes, Achyranthes bidentata, Rhizoma chrysanthemum, and Polygalaceae."
Section Chief Kong looked at the Chinese patent medicines on the application form and smacked his lips:
"It seems that this task is very heavy. So many niche drugs have been gathered together. Lao Wu, then you should quickly arrange for someone to purchase them. You can't delay the clinical use of the drugs."
Deputy Section Chief Wu said in embarrassment at this time:
"Section Chief, I have a question I was about to report to you. Now there is no one in our department. What should we do?"
"No one, how come there is no one?"
"Section Chief, listen to me. Most of the comrades such as Yang Jinbo, Huang Zhuangqun, and Zhang Mingliang have not returned from a business trip for purchasing. Yang Xiaoqing and Zhu Xingchen also left for other places the day before yesterday.
The remaining three comrades Li Zexu, Bi Chunlong, and Liao Zhanying were injured in a traffic accident a few days ago, and you also went to the hospital to visit them. Although the injuries were not serious, they could not do long-distance business trips in a short time.
Now there are only a few female generals in our department, and the remaining two men are me and you. How do you think this matter should be dealt with? ”
Kong Shuihu slapped his forehead:
"Yes, yes, yes, this happened, I forgot about it. Oh, what can we do? These more than ten medicines are all urgently needed in clinical medicine. Wait, no, there is an old man in our department. Isn’t Lin Sanqi empty? ”
Deputy Section Chief Wu was secretly happy, and pretended to be embarrassed on the surface and said:
"This, this, Lin Sanqi has just returned from the northwest and hasn't taken a breath yet. Besides, most of these herbs are concentrated in South China, and they are not within the scope of Lin Sanqi's jurisdiction."
Section Chief Kong was dissatisfied when he heard this:
"He doesn't care if it's not his area of responsibility? He's still a national cadre, and he has to take the lead and set an example. We are a brick of the revolution. We can go wherever the organization arranges. What nonsense are you talking about?"
< br>
Section Chief Wu continued to say awkwardly:
"This is a big deal, but Lin Sanqi alone can't complete so many purchasing tasks."
Kong Shuihu was also a regular purchaser. He picked up the application form and thought about it carefully, and then made up his mind:
"Old Wu, I see it like this. The six medicinal herbs of Phyllostachys sibiricum, Erythora sibiricum, Echinacea, Curcuma zedoary, Cassia, and Andrographis paniculata are all from South China. Let Lin Sanqi take the trouble to make the trip alone this time. .
Imperata cogongrass, Schizonepeta, Trichosanthes trichosanthes, Achyranthes bidentata, Qumai, and Polygalaceae are all available in Hebei and Shanxi. They are just on the edge of the capital and not far away, so you should take the trouble to make a trip.
If we really can’t arrange for anyone to come, I can also go there in person. What do you think of my arrangement? ”
Deputy Section Chief Wu thought to himself: This is what you arranged, not what I said. If anything happens, you can’t rely on me!
"I think this is okay, and it's the best way at the moment. It's a lot of hard work. Lin Sanqi has to travel to three provinces and six regions in one breath. What used to be the work of three people now has to be done by him alone. I'm afraid that the young man won't be able to do it." Willing.”
Kong Shuihu searched around the office and happened to see Lin Sanqi coming in from the outside humming a tune, so he waved:
"Xiaoqi, come here!"
"Section Chief, did you call me?"
Lin Sanqi walked over quickly and said hello to Section Chief Kong, but pretended not to see Deputy Section Chief Wu next to him.
"Xiao Qi, our purchasing department has an urgent task this time. We need to purchase 12 medicines at once. Six of them are only available in the three provinces of South China, and they are clinically urgent.
It's no coincidence that all three comrades in the South China group were injured, and all the other comrades had tasks to do, so I discussed it with Deputy Section Chief Wu and hoped that you could go to South China for a trip. ”
Lin Sanqi blinked. All three members of the South China Group were injured? Going on a business trip at this time?
What a coincidence.
Although contemporary college students have clear eyes with a hint of stupidity, they are not really stupid. They are still very vigilant and always feel that there are unruly people trying to harm me.
"Section Chief, are you telling me to go to South China for purchasing? Do you want me to go to three provinces and six regions?"
Lin Sanqi checked the information and knew that South China in 1959 was definitely not an economically developed area. On the contrary, it was the poorest and most remote place in the country.
Isn't there a poem that describes the road in Lingnan where it is difficult to distinguish the clouds and fog, and the miasma surrounds it like a coil of snake.
Being poor means chaos.
Chaos represents danger.
What's more, he is a "traveling merchant" who is alone with a large amount of cash. He is simply a firefly in the night, telling everyone, "The uncle is here to rob."
Section Chief Kong nodded and said earnestly:
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Your trip to the northwest has proven that you are a qualified purchaser. Now the hospital needs you, the organization needs you, not to mention you are a cadre, so if you don't go, do you want me to go?" ? Want lesbians like Yang Qiuhong to go?”
Section Chief Kong thought that Lin Sanqi didn't want to have a temper and was dissatisfied.
Although he took advantage of Lin Sanqi and could give him extra care, in the face of collective interests, he still hoped that Lin Sanqi could obey the distribution, instead of relying on favor and arrogance, pushing back and blocking others in doing things.
The older generation was more or less principled, unlike later generations who only recognized money but not people, and only treated people but not things...
Lin Sanqi did not answer immediately, but was quickly calculating the gains and losses in his mind. Yes, gain - loss.
He happily went to the northwest, not even afraid of wolves, because he knew that there was Cordyceps sinensis in the northwest. This stuff would be a hot commodity in 2023 and he could make a fortune.
There are other precious Chinese medicinal materials such as ginseng, deer antler, donkey hide gelatin, musk, gastrodia elata, snow lotus and so on. The problem is that these are all in the north.
What are you going to do in South China now? Are there mosquitoes all over the sky? Locusts all over the ground?
Lin Sanqi thought about it for a long time but couldn't remember what "benefits" she could gain from a trip to South China?
Seeing Lin Sanqi in a daze, Section Chief Kong was not ready to talk nonsense:
"Okay Xiao Qi, I am ordering you as the section chief. This time you are going to make the reservation for South China. Go home and clean up quickly."
What else could Lin Sanqi say? This was all she had to say, so she could only go for a run.
As for safety, we can only rely on the pistol and submachine gun. If it is not possible, we can only suddenly save the donors who have ulterior motives.
People in the wilderness are not afraid of being discovered, and conversely, Lin Sanqi is not afraid of being discovered either. It depends on whether they are faster with their knives or their own bullets.
Depressed Lin Sanqi got off work early and returned to Gege Mansion, not even caring about the ancient buildings and street scenes captured on the camera.
Jin Caifeng was preparing dinner, and was a little surprised to see her youngest son come back dejected:
"Hey, Qizai, what's wrong with you? Who in the unit is angry with you?"
Lin Sanqi sat down on the stool:
"I received an order in the afternoon, asking me to temporarily replace an injured colleague to go shopping in southern China. I have to travel to three provinces and six counties. Oh my God, isn't this going to cost my life?"
When Jin Caifeng heard this, he stopped cooking:
"What's going on? Aren't you from the Northwest Group? Why are you even asked to do the work of the South China Group? What is your Section Chief Kong doing?"
"This is the order Chief Kong gave me, saying that I must obey the organization personally and play a leading and exemplary role as a cadre."
Jin Caifeng tossed her apron and stood up angrily:
"No, I have to talk to Dean Shen and Section Chief Kong about this matter. How can anyone be so bossy? I haven't recovered from going to the northwest, and I'm going to South China again? Are you going to Africa for a business trip next time?"
Jin Caifeng met her husband Lin Sophora as soon as she stepped out of the house.
"Okay, okay, I know everything. Lao Kong has already told me that the procurement department is indeed having difficulties in this matter. There are only four buyers in Beijing, and three of them are injured. You can't let the injured soldiers go on business, right? Capitalist None of them are that cruel.
Now only Qizai is left alive and kicking in the entire purchasing department. If he doesn't go, who will? Even Wu Ming, the deputy section chief, has to go out to make purchases. Can Qizai be special? So don’t think too much about this matter, and no one wants to punish Qizai. ”
(Deputy Section Chief Wu smiled and said nothing, hiding his merit and fame...)
Jin Caifeng was also speechless for a moment: "But, but..."
Lin Sophora flavescens put down the leather bag in her hand and washed her hands and said:
"But what? Qizai might as well go to South China and take a trip to our hometown of Huadu.
Come here to see our relatives in our hometown for us and say they are safe. Secondly, I also went to visit our ancestral home on Renji Road. Although I entrusted the family members to take care of it, I was somewhat uneasy. ”
Jin Caifeng sighed, obviously convinced:
"Yeah, we haven't been back for 10 years, and we don't know how our hometown is doing? Are there any people starving to death? Alas..."
When Lin Sanqi saw her father coming back, she suddenly had an idea:
"Dad, let me ask you a question. Which Chinese medicinal materials do you think are more valuable in South China?"
Lin Sophora flavescens wiped her hands and replied naturally:
"Seafood in our hometown is quite expensive, haha."
"Dad, I'm serious."
"My answer is true. Do you think only Chinese herbal medicine is precious?
Do you think those seahorses, shark fins, and isinglass are valuable? In addition, don’t underestimate the tangerine peel in our hometown. When it was the most expensive, one tael of tangerine peel made one tael worth of gold, and a century-old tangerine peel was worth more than gold. ”
"Yes!!!"
Lin Sanqi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Why didn't I think of these things that are unique to South China?"
The living customs of the north and the south are different, and the differences are also very big. For example, as Lin Sophora flavescens said, no matter how well you blow the tangerine peel, in the eyes of northerners, it is just dried orange peel and they are not needed for free.
But in the eyes of southerners, tangerine peel is a good treasure, not only has medicinal value, but also has collection value.
Why 3- to 8-year-old tangerine peel has a pungent fruity aroma;
The fragrance of 9 to 20-year-old tangerine peel is fragrant;
The 20 to 40-year-old tangerine peel has a mellow aroma;
Tangerine peels that are more than 50 years old are extremely precious. They have the taste of old medicinal materials and have aged well over time.
If someone from the north gave you a box of orange peels from 50 years ago, they would probably think that the person giving the gift was crazy. Why are you so picky?
But in the south, a pound of 50-year-old tangerine peel is worth more than one million yuan, which is an absolute gift.
Even in 2023, many southern bosses will marry their daughters directly to tangerine peel. As the most precious dowry, it shows how valuable tangerine peel is.
