The ginseng that Lin Sanqi obtained this time alone will be worth at least hundreds of millions in 2023.
Different from other health care products, wild ginseng grown in Northeast China is very popular in the market and is expensive but not available.
Lin Tianhua, the general manager of Lingnan Tang Company, was very happy and was already planning to hold a "Precious Chinese Medicinal Materials Tasting Party" and invite local wealthy people in Huadu to participate to expand the influence of Lingnan Tang.
Lin Sanqi is very satisfied with the company's operations in 2023. If he were to operate the company, he would be far better than Lin Tianhua.
After all, his connections, experience, and marketing skills over the years are not comparable to those of a newbie like Lin Sanqi. His advantage lies in cross-travel procurement, so everyone should perform their own duties and leave professional matters to a professional team. Do it.
With the supply of goods and finances in his own hands, and the support of the patriarch, Lin Sanqi is not worried about being left out at all.
The back garden of Gege Mansion and the waterside pavilion.
The courtyard door was closed tightly, no one could break in, and the door to the room was also closed tightly. Outside the house was blown by the northwest wind, but inside the house was warm and comfortable at more than 20 degrees.
Pan Ren squatted in front of the fireplace, looking at the flames inside with some surprise.
This is the stove that Lin Sanqi bought online from a certain treasure store. It is a square and dark one with a piece of glass on the door so that you can clearly see the burning degree of the firewood. It cost less than 3,000 yuan.
"Brother Lin, I have seen fireplaces before. They were built by foreigners into the walls, and there was no glass. Why is your fireplace different from others?"
Lin Sanqi was cutting the mutton and replied with a smile:
"This fireplace is custom-made. There is no place to buy it now. Just put a few pieces of wood in it, and the smoke will be discharged out of the house along the flue. The inside of the house will be clean, there is no smell, and it will be warm. Not bad, right?"
Pan Ren nodded repeatedly:
"It's more than good. Our house is heated with a coal stove, and the house smells like smoke. We have to open the windows from time to time, otherwise the whole family might be lying down neatly on the couch the next morning."
"Xiaosanzi, what are you talking about?"
Pan Ye was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks nearby. When he heard what his brother said, he was so angry that he quickly stopped him. Northerners hate unlucky words during the Chinese New Year.
Pan Ren was scolded by his eldest sister. He stuck out his tongue repeatedly and went to play with Lin Jiageng and Lin Zhenzhen next to him.
Pan Cen is picking vegetables obediently, very carefully, as if what he is picking is not vegetables, but as precious as jade:
"Brother Lin, you are so awesome. You can still eat such fresh spinach in the winter. It is so tender and dripping with water. It must be particularly delicious."
Lin Sanqi probably already knows what to eat in the winter in the north. There are always radish, green onions and cabbage in the cellar. In addition, if you prepare some vermicelli and sauerkraut, you will have to eat it all winter.
Green vegetables were still available in 1959, but these greenhouse vegetables were not available to ordinary people, and many people had never heard of them.
Lin Sanqi continued to operate the mutton slicer, cutting off pieces of frozen mutton and putting them on plates, bragging:
"That's who you are, Brother Lin. There is nothing in the world that I can't get. Look, what is this?"
Lin Sanqi stopped what she was doing and took out two more large grapefruits from the cabinet.
"Wow, such a big orange?" Pan Ren exclaimed from the side.
Lin Sanqi didn't bother to correct him: "Yes, yes, you can eat big oranges in the same way. You peel them and taste them first. We'll start dinner soon."
"Okay, okay,"
In fact, several children in the room were eager to eat meat.
In the cold winter, nothing is more tempting than a hot hot pot meal, especially shabu-shabu, which is the favorite of people in the capital in winter.
It's a pity that this hobby is probably not available to many families this winter. Of course, here in Lin Sanqi, it's all available. Not to mention the mutton I got in Qinghai before, this time I went to Inner Mongolia and got a lot of little fat sheep.
But Pan Ye didn't know that. Watching Lin Sanqi cut plate after plate of frozen mutton in his hand, he felt a little sad for him.
"Lin Sanqi, that's enough, that's enough. Stop cutting it. Most of us are children. How can we eat so much?"
Lin Sanqi looked at the hill of mutton in front of her: "Is that enough? Not enough? I think Pan Ren can eat a sheep by himself."
Hahaha, several people in the room chuckled, and Pan Ren also laughed at himself:
"Only brother Lin's family can eat meat. Our family has sauerkraut, pickles and Chinese cabbage every day. Sometimes I feel like I am a rabbit."
Lin Sanqi pointed to several small clay pots and said:
"Come on, Comrade Rabbit, please go and get the dipping sauce. There is a jar of sesame sauce and a jar of sand tea sauce. Add whatever you want."
People in the capital love to eat sesame paste, a dipping sauce made by mixing sesame paste and peanut butter in a ratio of 28%, but as southerners, the Lin family has never been used to it. This is another major difference between the tastes of the north and the south.
The copper hotpot is placed in the middle of the table. The old hotpots in Sijiucheng like to use clear soup, which is actually white flower water. The reason is that the clear soup is not smelly, not greasy, not greasy, and the meat is comfortable to eat. This is similar in taste to the Guangdong Dabian stove. People in Huadu like to use pure water as a pot when eating Dabian stove, believing that the food cooked in this way can ensure the original flavor and deliciousness.
As for the seasoning of hot pot, it depends entirely on dipping ingredients, usually hoisin sauce and sand tea sauce, simple ones will do.
For old Peiping people, when eating hot pot, sugar and garlic are the soul, and sesame sauce is the perfect match.
In addition to mutton, Lin Sanqi also prepared fresh spinach, green vegetables, enoki mushrooms, and of course the frozen tofu that northerners like to eat.
"Eat slowly, don't rush, don't rush, be careful to burn it, the mutton is enough~~~"
Lin Sanqi helped pick up the vegetables while urging Pan Ren to eat slowly. Although Pan Ye and Pan Cen ate politely, they were not slow at all.
Instead, Lin Jiageng and Lin Zhenzhen started eating slowly. This detail also shows the difference in the economic conditions of their families.
While Lin Sanqi was scalding mutton for Pan Ye, he asked casually:
"You will have an internship after the winter vacation. I have already told Dean Shen that I will arrange for you to intern at our Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine."
When Pan Ye heard this, he smiled so much that his eyes were like crescent moons: "Thank you, Lin Sanqi."
Without Lin Sanqi's help, only the top students in the class would be able to intern at Capital Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and most of the rest would be assigned to affiliated hospitals for internship.
"Thank you. After your six-month internship is over, it shouldn't be a big problem for you to stay and work in our traditional Chinese medicine hospital. I'll take care of it."
Pan Ye suddenly thought of something, his face turned red, and he responded softly: "Well, it's all up to you..."
Lin Jiageng said to his cousin next to him while drinking soda:
"Really, it seems that our family will have one more employee in the future. In addition to grandparents, my dad, my mom, your dad and your mom. When my uncle and aunt get married, then we will be the only ones who are not from the traditional Chinese medicine hospital. Employee?”
Lin Zhenzhen blinked her innocent big eyes and said indifferently:
"It's okay. I'll let my mother retire. Then I can take up a job and join the workplace. By then, our family will all work in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital."
Lin Sanqi thought to herself, well, such a young child regards the workplace as his or her home, no wonder there are articles praising three generations of tobacco owners in the family.
When Pan Ye heard this, his face turned redder, but he did not refute.
Lin Sanqi cured her father's illness, took good care of her food, and now arranged for her to have an internship and work. Isn't this a proper prospective son-in-law? How could an ordinary friend be so enthusiastic?
Pan Ren also stopped using his chopsticks and patted his chest:
"Sister, if you go to work at Kuanjie Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the future, it will be more respectable for me to tell you in school. Brother-in-law, can you also arrange for me to enter Kuanjie Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the future?"
Lin Sanqi chuckled: "You are the only one who fails the exam every time, let alone Kuanjie Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. You, Zhaijie Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, are not even qualified."
Everyone chuckled again.
Lin Sanqi looked at Pan Ye seriously and said:
"When I come to a traditional Chinese medicine hospital for internship, I have two places to go. One is to stay at the Kuanjie Main Hospital, which is close to home and has more convenient care. The other option is to go to the Changping branch, but the conditions of the branch are very poor. To put it bluntly, it is a big hospital. Rural area.
After the Chinese New Year, I will be temporarily transferred to the branch hospital to work. If you go to the branch hospital for internship, there is a benefit. Our traditional Chinese medicine hospital has 12 national treasure-level veteran traditional Chinese medicine doctors who will be transferred to the Changping branch. If you can take one of them as your teacher, it will be great for you. There are definitely benefits to improving your medical skills. ”
These words were told to him by Dean Shen, but they did not prevent Lin Sanqi from applying them now.
Pan Ye asked with some confusion at this time: "Why is it best to go to the branch hospital in Changping to learn medical skills? Aren't there more experienced experts in the main hospital?"
"That's different. The old experts who stay in the main hospital are all innocent and proud.
Like my dad, he didn’t even teach me the core medical skills to his youngest son. He only taught my elder brother. So if you stay in the main hospital, those old Chinese doctors may not be willing to teach you real medical skills, but at most they will teach you some superficial skills.
It's different when you go to the branch hospital. Those 12 old national treasures are now like mud bodhisattvas crossing the river and cannot protect themselves. In the darkest time of life, it is definitely not as good as adding icing on the cake and sending something in the snow.
When they are in the most difficult time, we serve them well and sincerely. In addition, there is no one around them. If they want their medical skills to be preserved, they will definitely be willing to teach us. Then they will learn real skills. ”
Pan Ye listened thoughtfully.
As an old Peiping native, of course she wants to stay in the city for internship and work. After all, life in the city is far better than life in the countryside.
But she also felt that Lin Sanqi was right. If she didn't study medicine under such a good opportunity, she might not have such an opportunity in the future. It would be a pity to miss it.
Pan Ren was a little confused: "Brother-in-law, aren't you taking advantage of the situation, deceiving the elderly's feelings and secretly learning their medical skills?"
Lin Sanqi picked up a handful of mutton and stuffed it into Pan Ren's mouth:
"Eat it, eat it. Don't worry about adults' affairs. We don't want traditional Chinese medicine to be lost. Do you understand?"
After dinner, Pan Ye and his three siblings were ready to go home. Lin Sanqi gave three bags of supplies to the three siblings:
"There are flour, canned fruits, pork, lamb legs, and some nuts in here. Each of you can carry a bag back and have a good New Year."
Pan Ye was no longer afraid of being embarrassed at this time. He thought that since he was ready to commit himself to his wife, it was appropriate for his son-in-law to give gifts to his mother-in-law.
"Lin Sanqi, I have already made up my mind. If you go to Changping, I will go to Changping too." (End of Chapter)
