Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Mr. Pu also nodded. Now, any small stall is owned by the government, and you can get your salary after turning in the profits.

It is now difficult to make money by opening a clinic. You either have to go to the hospital for consultation or work in a pharmaceutical factory. Having a formal job is better than anything else.

It's a stable job that can be passed down to future generations. If you contribute the prescription, you can get some reward. It's pretty good.

Some Chinese medicine practitioners are well versed in pharmacology, and working in a pharmaceutical factory is a way out for them.

There are many things going on in this organization. Chen Changan just used the common cold as an analogy. In fact, is the common cold the only disease that Chinese medicine is good at treating?

Infectious diseases, stomach problems, and coughs can all continue to be studied and developed into prescriptions.

Many people in this era eat coarse grains, and with little fat in their bodies, they can hardly poop. Even some laxatives will be bought.

Or if you eat something dirty and have diarrhea, you can take antidiarrheal medicine.

All this calculated is enough to keep this group of Chinese medicine practitioners busy.

After Pu Lao agreed to start treating measles at the motorcycle factory tomorrow, he excitedly left Chen Changan's house.

Looking at Pu Lao who left in a hurry, Chen Changan sighed. Traditional Chinese medicine can be regarded as a legacy left by our ancestors. I hope it can be passed on.

The next day, Chen Changan came to the motorcycle factory and went to find Pu Lao.

As soon as I walked into the clinic, I saw Mr. Pu lying on the table with his eyes closed.

Why do we say he is resting his eyes? Because Mr. Pu is yawning with his eyes closed.

After Chen Changan entered the clinic, a nurse called out, "Director Chen."

Only then did Pu Lao open his eyes. When he saw Chen Changan coming, he didn't say anything. He picked up a pen and started writing on the paper.

When Chen Changan walked to Pu Lao, Pu Lao had already finished writing. He handed the paper to Chen Changan and said, "This is the prescription I researched after encountering measles when I was practicing medicine in the southwest in my early years. I looked at it these days, and at least most people in the motorcycle factory can be cured."

Then he waved his hand and said to Chen Changan, "I was busy all night yesterday. I'm going to sleep for a while now. Director Chen won't blame me, right?"

"You are so old now, just go back and rest if you can't do it. Sleeping in the factory is not as comfortable as at home." Chen Changan got the prescription, and the epidemic that plagued the factory would soon be solved. He also spoke to Pu Lao with a smile.

Pu Lao said, "No, that won't work. I came up with the prescription. When the workers drink the medicine in the factory, I will be responsible for any problems. It doesn't make sense to come up with a prescription and not be responsible for the follow-up."

Chen Changan felt that what Pu Lao said made sense. If there really was any problem, Western medicine would not be the right approach. It would be better to let Pu Lao stay in the factory, even if he could just sleep. This way, it would be easier for Pu Lao to solve any problem.

Chen Changan took the prescription directly and went back to the office to copy it. Then he took the prescription to the finance office.

"Sister Hou, there are too many people taking sick leave in the factory recently, so I found an old Chinese doctor and he gave me a prescription.

Arrange someone to take the prescription and buy the medicine."

The first moment Chen Changan saw Hou Yan in the Finance Department, he explained his purpose.

Hou Yan was a little surprised. Who couldn't go buy it? At most, she could just buy it and get reimbursed. Why did she need to go there herself?

So I asked, "How much do you want to buy?"

"Buy more, at least enough medicine for all the workers in the factory for three days."

Hou Yan was frightened after hearing what Chen Changan said. There are tens of thousands of people in the factory. How much food should be bought if it is enough to feed tens of thousands of people for three days?

But looking at Chen Changan's determined eyes, Hou Yan nodded, turned around and went to call for help.

I can't make any more mistakes this time. With such a large sum of money, I have to bring two people with me in person.

Chen Changan came to the security department again, called Liu Hongjun and said, "The finance staff will go out to purchase medicines later. The quantity is quite large. Please arrange for someone to go with them and prepare more people and cars."

After everyone from the Finance and Security Department left, Chen Changan came to the cafeteria again and found Nan Yi.

There's nothing I can do. They are all troublesome people and I feel uneasy if I don't arrange it myself.

There is no way around it. Most of the leading cadres in these motorcycle factories have little academic qualifications.

He always fails to consider things thoroughly before, and he had no experience in this area before. He only gained this position by following Chen Changan for a long time and gaining seniority.

If Chen Changan doesn't explain things clearly in person, there will be some mistakes or jokes.

The place where the most people gathered in the factory was undoubtedly the cafeteria. Even Nan Yi had a cough. Not to mention Nan Yi, his children were all sick, and Liang Ladi even took leave to take care of the children.

I heard Chen Changan say that he had asked an old Chinese doctor for a prescription and had arranged for someone to purchase medicine. When he came back, he would cook the medicine in the cafeteria and serve a bowl to each worker when they lined up for lunch at noon.

Seeing that Nan Yi wanted to say something, Chen Changan said without waiting for Nan Yi to open his mouth, "Go back and tell Liang Ladi to take the child to the clinic when you have time in the afternoon. There are also medicines prepared for family members there."

Nan Yi was happy now. Adults could still handle the illness, but children would be like two completely different people if they were sick.

Yesterday, I saw my child running around and enjoying everything he ate. But in the morning, he looked listless, didn't talk much, and didn't want to eat. It was heartbreaking to see him.

Just after work at noon, when the workers were rushing to the canteen, the factory's loudspeaker sounded.

"Comrade workers, comrade workers, hello. This is the motorcycle factory radio station.

Now I have a good news to announce. Due to the flu, many workers in our factory are sick. It not only affects the health of the workers, but also affects the production tasks of the factory.

After research and decision by the factory leaders, starting today, all workers must drink a bowl of flu medicine prepared by the canteen before eating every day for three consecutive days.

In order to facilitate treatment and prevent the flu among workers, their families can go to the factory clinic during working hours and get free medicine.

I hope the workers can take their medicines consciously and not let the flu affect our health.”

The workers were happy.

Who can be happy when they are sick? How uncomfortable is it to go to work when you are sick? Don’t the workers know this?

This is good. The factory did a good job and took the medicine directly in the factory.

My wife and children at home can also go to the clinic to get medicine. I believe the flu can be brought under control soon.

When the workers arrived at the canteen, they saw people from the Security Department riding three-wheeled motorcycles, transporting medicinal materials to the canteen one after another.

Several large pots had been set up in front of the cafeteria entrance, and a strong smell of Chinese medicine was wafting everywhere.

A young worker who was queuing outside the cafeteria muttered, "Why is it Chinese medicine? It's bitter and hard to drink. It would be much better if it was Western medicine. I could drink it in one gulp and it would have no taste at all."

This sentence attracted the attention of many masters. The one standing in front of the young man was his master. After hearing what he said, he turned around and slapped him on the head.
