God-level great pharmacist

Chapter 222
The time passed while boiling the medicine, and soon it was New Year's Eve, and the sound of firecrackers continued early in the morning, waking Li Dong up from his sleep.

Unlike the restrictions on firecrackers in big cities, small cities like Qingzhou in the third and fourth tiers are not so particular about it, but here in Dongshan, every family will prepare a lot of firecrackers for the New Year, especially those who open stores and do business, even if they are Roadside stalls will also display fireworks or something during the Chinese New Year, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, to make a good fortune.

Li Dong is no exception.

Not only did he buy it, he bought a lot of it. He bought a total of 16 fireworks the size of a desk, implying smoothness. Next year will be a special year for him. There are not only medicinal planting bases, but also a fitness center. There are new system tasks on the Internet, so it must be followed.

Li Dong washed his face and came to the backyard, lit the fire and prepared to boil the medicine. Every place has its own customs. In some places, the reunion dinner is in the daytime, while Dongshan’s reunion dinner is in the evening, so he still has a day Can boil medicine.

Don't underestimate the time of the day, one day, four pots, and the ointment made out of it is worth 1000 million at least. No one has trouble with money these days, let alone he has nothing else to do.

"Dangdangdang!"

"Is Pharmacist Li at home?"

There was a sound outside the door, and Li Dong got up and walked into the pharmacy when he heard it. An old man in his 70s and [-]s walked in with a cane in one hand and a basket in the other.

"Master, buy medicine?" Li Dong asked.

On New Year’s Eve, the shops on the street are basically closed for rest. There are only two places that can open the doors. One is the hospital, which treats the sick and saves lives, and the other is the restaurant, and it must be a big hotel. No one will go there. Is it a small restaurant for New Year's Eve dinner?Although Dongshan is a backward place, there are quite a few wealthy families. Besides, after a whole year of hard work, it is normal to take a break during the Chinese New Year and order a meal at a big restaurant. Li Dong also asked Xiao Hai to go to the city. Laishun order, save time and effort, not bad for that little money.

What do you do for New Years?Isn't Chinese New Year a waste of money?

Just like Dongshan Old Street, except for Li Dong’s Jishitang, all other shops have been closed. The adults are busy pasting couplets and blessing characters to prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner, and the children run to the street to set off firecrackers.

If it weren't for going to Lin Jing's house for the New Year this year, he would have closed the door without preparing anything.

"Don't buy medicine, don't buy medicine." The old man put the basket in his hand on the table and said to Li Dong with a smile, "This is an egg laid by my own chicken. Don't dislike it, Pharmacist Li."

"Ah?" Li Dong was startled, looked at the old man puzzled, and asked, "Master, what are you..."

"Pharmacist Li, you may not know that it was snowing and passing by a few days ago, old man, when I was going out, I accidentally slipped and sprained my foot. It was night, thanks to the medicine you put outside the door, it didn't hurt after rubbing it on. , isn’t it the new year, I’ll bring you a basket of eggs as a token of my gratitude,” said the old man.

After Li Dong heard it, he realized what was going on, quickly picked up the basket of eggs, handed it back to the old man, and said, "Master, it's just a few pills, it's not worth mentioning, you should keep these eggs for yourself." , I appreciate your kindness."

Li Dong's heart is warm. Although it is just a basket of eggs, in Li Dong's eyes, it is an incomparably precious gift. The purpose of his leaving the medicine outside was not to get anything in return, but to get everyone's respect. Thank you, but it made him feel extremely happy. This is a kind of joy from the heart.

"No, you must accept it. Otherwise, my old man will have the nerve to take your medicine when he has some minor illness or injury." The old man covered the basket with his hands and said with a frown, "Is it my medicine?" Eggs are too cheap and worthless, don’t you think so?”

"Master, how is this possible?" Li Dong said hastily.

"Then you take it." The old man was very stubborn, but he didn't take it back. After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the pharmacy.

Li Dong looked at the old man's back, then at the basket of eggs in his hand, and felt warm in his heart.

"Dongzi!"

Li Dong was about to go back to the house when he saw Aunt Wang from the Chaos Pavilion diagonally across the street, carrying a plate of dumplings.

"Dongzi, I know you're home alone this year, here are the dumplings just out of the pot." Aunt Wang said cheerfully.

"Dongzi, and me." Fatty Zheng, who sells pork at the opposite door, came out with a plate, "This is the pig's trotter I made earlier this morning."

At this time, many neighbors from the old street also came out of their homes.

"This is the air-dried sausage I made myself..."

“This is my fried pasta”

"..."

Li Dong stood there blankly. He has lived here in the old street for more than 20 years. This is the first time he has encountered such a situation. Lonely and widowed, come to pity him?
"Dongzi, don't get me wrong. It's like this. Who in the old street has never used your medicine? Usually, everyone doesn't know what you need. Isn't it just the Chinese New Year? Get some The food you cook yourself is worthless, so you can accept it, it’s a kindness from our neighbors, so you can accept it." Fatty Zheng said loudly.

Li Dong looked at Fatty Zheng with some surprise. He usually ran on him a lot, but he didn't expect to say such a thing. Thinking about it, they are all neighbors, and they are all kind in nature. Running on each other doesn't hurt feelings. It has been like this for decades.

"Dongzi, you only cured our injuries and diseases, and brought us business. You may not know that because of your existence, our entire old street has become more prosperous, and there are more people than before. Yes, after many people come out of your house, they buy some vegetables and eat a meal, you may not feel it, but we feel it very obvious."

"It's true. My family's business has been good in recent months. Sometimes the sausages we make are not enough to sell."

"Yes, my family can now sell two or three hundred more bowls of Chaos a month than before."

"Dongzi, just accept it, this is the neighbor's wish."

Li Dong looked at the enthusiastic neighbors. He had no reason to refuse. To refuse everyone's kindness was to shut out everyone's wishes and dispel everyone's enthusiasm. So he put the basket of eggs in his hand into the house. He cupped his hands towards the neighbors outside, "Thank you, everyone, thank you."

Seeing that Li Dong agreed to accept it, these neighbors stuffed things into Li Dong's hands one after another. When they couldn't fit in their hands, they put them on the table in the room. Soon, the table, the chair, and even the medicine cabinet The counters are full of food, many of which are still steaming hot.

"Brother Dong, breakfast...I'll go, what's the situation?" Lin Hai was shocked when he entered the pharmacy with a thermos bottle in his hand. Besides, didn't you say go to his house to eat?

"It's all from the neighbors." Li Dong said with a wry smile. He was very happy to be recognized by his neighbors, but how could he eat so much food by himself? "Xiao Hai, have you eaten yet? Come on, let's eat together."

"I've eaten it. Besides, with so many dishes, are you going to eat until fifteen?" Xiao Hai said in surprise.

"It's hard to turn down the kindness."

call!
Drip!

An old Santana parked outside the pharmacy, and then I saw Gangzi walking in from the outside, "Oh, I'll go, Brother Dong, are you going to open a restaurant?"

"Sent by the neighbor." Li Dong said, "Thirty, you are not staying at home, why do you want me?"

"Hey, I'm also here to deliver things." Gangzi opened the trunk and took out a bunch of things from inside, "Brother Dong, here are cigarettes, wine, and some food, you keep them. "

"Gangzi, what are you doing?" Li Dong frowned, they were all buddies, wouldn't this send the relationship away?

"Brother Dong, don't get me wrong. My dad asked me to give these things. Thank you for your care. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have joined the Criminal Police Force, and he wouldn't be promoted to be the director next year. In fact, these things were also given by others. It’s for my dad, my family has so many, and there’s no place to put it, so you can keep it and share it with my family.” Dongzi said as he walked out, “Brother Dong, I’m leaving, and there are still several houses to go to. , let’s meet again in the next year.”

With a bang, Santana disappeared.

"I'll go, Zhonghua, and Moutai. It's great to be an official." Lin Hai knew Wu Gang, so he looked at the gift on the ground enviously.

"Stupid, do you really think that someone gave it to his family?" Li Dong sighed softly.

"Ah? Didn't Brother Gang say that?" Lin Hai asked in confusion.

"He said you believe it too? Read the news more. How strict are the gifts now? Besides, his father will be promoted to the director of the bureau next year, so he should be more cautious and low-key." Li Dong looked at them one by one, and they were all good. Tobacco and alcohol cost thousands of dollars at least.

These things don't look good in the house, just when Li Dong was about to put away the cigarettes and alcohol, another car stopped outside, it was Song Yiyi's Beetle.

"Li..." Like Gangzi, Song Yiyi was stunned as soon as she entered the door, "Li Dong, has your house changed to a restaurant?"

"What are you doing here again?" Li Dong asked, frowning. He thought that today would be a very leisurely day, but he didn't expect it to be so busy.

Song Yiyi was used to Li Dong's attitude, and she didn't mind it, so she took out a stack of cards from her bag and handed them to Li Dong, "Take it."

Li Dong saw that it was a supermarket shopping card with a denomination of 1000. There were at least a dozen of them in a stack, "Why?" Li Dong asked.

"In order to thank our customers, our family sends out shopping cards every year. This year, you have become the biggest customer of my family. Of course you are indispensable." Song Yiyi said.

That's what happened.

Li Dong decisively reached out and took it. Anyway, he bought it with the money he earned. Don’t waste it. This is the normal operation of gift giving. The shopping card is small and convenient, and it’s a blink of an eye to give cigarettes and alcohol.

"I won't say much if you are being polite. I hope we can have a happy cooperation next year." Song Yiyi said that next year the medicinal planting base will be put into planting. It is still unknown how the relationship between the two companies will develop. Of course, she wants to maintain Now this kind of relationship, otherwise I will not come to send shopping cards.

Li Dong looked at the room full of things, it really was a bumper year.
