Go to the Republic of China to engage in industry

Shen Chengran looked at his elder brother with tears in his eyes, and his smile was still so gentle, his temperament was as gentle as jade.

"Really, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Shen Cheng did not believe that such a Shen Chengrun would really take him to revenge, "You told me to bear it before, don't cause trouble."

"That's what I thought wrong before." Shen Chengrun didn't change his face, "I have seen through many things after walking through the gate of hell. For some people, tolerance cannot bring peace, but can only lead to intensified bullying."

Shen Chengrun looked straight into Shen Chengran's eyes, allowing him to see the seriousness in his eyes, "It is true that we will not be villains who hold the strong before the weak, but we will never be cowards who swallow their breath."

"But the premise is that a gentleman takes revenge in a proper way."

Shen Cheng didn't know what was going on, he felt that his eldest brother seemed very powerful, and asked, "Brother, how can a gentleman take revenge in a proper way?"

Shen Chengrun whispered softly, "I will teach you after a few days when my brother recovers."

Shen Cheng was afraid that he would go back on his word, so he insisted on asking for a specific date.

"Then seven days."

Shen was assured that he was happy, wiped the tears from his face, jumped up and said, "Sister, I will help you clean up."

Shen Chengrun sat on a small home-made bench that was no more than ten centimeters high and looked at the busy siblings with gentle expressions.

Since he has occupied the body of the original owner, and the last wish of the original owner is the happiness and well-being of the siblings, then he will try his best to do it.

There are still people bullying such a good pair of siblings, heh!

After cleaning up the room, Shen Qingya opened the door curtain to release the unpleasant smell in the room.

The Shen family has no door, only a simple straw curtain to keep out the wind, so the dog in the shed next door will come in whenever he wants.

The furnishings inside the house were even simpler, with only a double bed made of wooden boards and a few small benches less than ten centimeters high and palm-width apart.In the middle of the ground was a small firepit, which was sunken in the middle, surrounded by mud bricks, and sitting on it was an earthen pot, which was usually used by the three members of the Shen family for cooking.As for fried vegetables, the third sibling of the Shen family hadn't eaten them for a long time.

Shen Qingya washed her hands and was about to cook when she remembered that she only had chaff at home.

Bran is the shell of the ripe fruit of crops such as millet. This thing is usually used to feed chickens and ducks, and even chickens and ducks of good people do not eat bran, but cornmeal.

However, the three brothers and sisters of the Shen family ate this food every day, and occasionally they ate cornmeal to improve their meals.

Of course, sometimes Shen Chengran can get other good things outside, and it's also when the Shen family siblings improve their meals.

Shen Qingya looked ashamed, her elder sister was really unqualified, she couldn't lead her two younger brothers to live a good life, that's all.Now I forgot to buy some rice for my younger brother to support his health.

"Chengrun, I'm sorry, I forgot to buy rice, you give me ten copper dollars, and I'll go buy some coarse rice and cook porridge for you."

Rough rice is rice with bran, usually with more bran and less rice, and polished rice is rice without bran, so the price of coarse rice per catty is half cheaper than that of polished rice.

Shen Chengrun got up, he had almost rested, "I'll go buy it."

Shen Qingya said: "That's fine."

Shen Chengrun walked across the yard, ignoring the eyes of everyone in the yard looking at him, just pretending that he didn't understand what Aunt Hua was saying about Sang and Huai.

Following his memory, Shen Chengrun came to a small market closest to his home. The shops on both sides sold rice noodles and oil, and the stalls in the middle sold everything, including fruits, potatoes and vegetables.

However, fruits and vegetables are very expensive at this time. Shen Chengrun asked, an apple costs [-] cents more, and vegetables are not much cheaper.

Shen Chengrun didn't wander around, Shen Qingya was still waiting for him to eat at home, and he was still weak, and he couldn't stand it after walking for a long time, so he turned directly into his most inconspicuous rice shop.

"Hello, do you have rice for sale?" Shen Chengrun walked into the rice shop and asked.

When the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter heard this clear voice, he suddenly felt as if a clear spring flowed through his heart.The people living around their rice shop are all poor people, and there are not many smiles on everyone's faces, let alone such a clear and clear voice.

The shopkeeper looked up, and saw a young man in an old gown that had been washed and discolored.The young man has an outstanding appearance, a gentle expression, and a gentle and jade-like temperament exuding from his whole body. It can be seen that he is a very knowledgeable scholar.

Even though he was dressed in shabby clothes, he couldn't conceal the youth's brilliance.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment before replying: "Yes, you buy polished rice for rice? Polished rice is three yuan and six cents a load, and coarse rice is one yuan and eight cents a load."

A load is a stone, because an adult can just carry it, so it is called a load.

One stone is equal to four jun, and one jun is equal to thirty catties.At this time, learning the hexadecimal system of the previous dynasty, one catty is equal to 16 taels.

Therefore, one stone is 120 catties, and only big and wealthy families can buy grain with stones.Generally, ordinary people buy it in a few catties.

The shopkeeper was taken aback by Shen Chengrun's demeanor, and subconsciously regarded him as a scholar.At this time in the Republic of China, there were almost no poor people who were educated, because the poor themselves did not have enough food and clothing, and there was no tomorrow, so how could they read books.

Shen Chengrun did some calculations in his mind, even if half a catty of coarse rice costs only ten copper dollars, but half a catty of polished rice costs twenty copper dollars.

Any Shen Chengrun thinks it is expensive, and half a catty of grain can eat a few meals.

Shen Chengrun continued to look at other coarse grains, and found that apart from the chaff, the cheapest one was cornmeal.

The main food in their area is cornmeal, which is the cheapest.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell the cornmeal?"

Hearing Shen Chengrun ask the price of cornmeal, the shopkeeper realized that Shen Chengrun must be the poor man who was an exception among scholars.

"Cornmeal is only two copper dollars and a half catty." The shopkeeper secretly felt sorry for Shen Chengrun's demeanor. It stands to reason that such a young man should not live in such poverty.

"Weigh a catty of cornmeal for me." Shen Chengrun wanted to buy it back for the whole family to eat, but the bran was really loud and had no nutrition at all.Apart from him as a patient, Shen Qingya and Chen Chengran also need to make up for it. They are both growing up. If they don't eat well, their foundation will be bad, and it will affect their health for the rest of their lives.

"Okay." The shopkeeper was thinking about it, and while weighing the food for Shen Chengrun, he asked, "Are you still studying, which school are you studying in?"

"I study in Wuxu Middle School." Shen Chengrun only thought that the shopkeeper had seen his student status and asked him casually, without thinking too much.

The shopkeeper asked again: "Wuxu is a public middle school. I heard that the quality of teaching is very high, and the annual enrollment rate is also very high. It is very difficult to take the exam. It only accepts students who take the unified exam. Is that true?"

"In fact, there are students who come in at their own expense, but the price of the private expense is too high. Few of the parents of the students are willing to bear such a high tuition fee just to study in Wuxu Middle School." He entered Wuxu Middle School after building three teaching buildings.It's just that I don't know if the rumor is true or not.

As soon as the shopkeeper heard it, he understood that Shen Chengrun definitely didn't have the money to pay for himself, and he must have passed the exam. He smiled and said kindly: "Student, what's your name, where do you live, and how many people are there in the family? Have you ever been engaged? If not, I know A woman with a beautiful appearance, gentle and virtuous, and her family is considered to have a small amount of property, so when you go further in the future, you can help me a little."

Shen Chengrun didn't expect to run into someone who was going to marry him the second day he came through, he was so startled, he dropped the copper coins, and fled out of the rice shop in a panic like a dog chasing after him.

Shen Chengrun didn't stop until he couldn't run anymore, turned around and found that the rice shop was no longer visible, bent down and burst out laughing.

This feeling is really novel, and now that I think about it, I don’t panic anymore, I just think human beings are really interesting.He really likes being human.

Shen Chengrun didn't know that after he left, a middle-aged woman opened the curtain and came out of the room, "Why do you want to introduce everyone to your daughter! Do you know him? Do you know where he lives? How is his character? None of this I understand, what if it is a fire pit?"

The shopkeeper was aggrieved, "Didn't I just ask? He didn't answer? If we answered, we can ask someone to ask. I don't think this young man looks and behaves like a pool thing. He is in adversity and his spine is not bent." , Sooner or later, it will become a big event. Such a character can only be caught before he develops, and if he develops, there will be nothing for our daughter."

"Bah." The woman spat, "You'll be so stupid. Anyway, I don't allow you to mess with my daughter's marriage. I don't want her to be rich in the future. I only want her husband and wife to be harmonious."

Shen Chengrun stepped into the room, Shen Qingya saw his flushed cheeks, she couldn't help but said in surprise: "Chengrun, you are hot again, why is your face so red?"

Shen Chengrun touched his cheek and said with a smile, "No, I ran back."

"You're recovering from your illness, so why run away?" Shen Qingya was still worried, "Just now I forgot to tell you to go to Dr. Han's place to grab some traditional Chinese medicine and consolidate it. You can go after dinner later."

Shen Chengrun thought that he had spent more than one yuan in the hospital for only one day before, so he was reluctant to part with the money, so he said, "After dinner, I asked Chengzhen to get some willow bark and boil water. Willow bark can reduce fever and inflammation."

Shen Qingya doubted: "Is it really useful?"

"If you have a high fever, it is recommended to go to the hospital. This method is still very good for Xiaore." This is not fabricated by Shen Chengrun. Before the Republic of China, this simple method was spread among the people and saved many lives.

Later, it was also proved that this soil method had a scientific basis. In 1827, foreign scientists successfully extracted salicin from willow bark.Salicylic acid can be obtained by hydrolysis and oxidation of salicin.

Salicylic acid can reduce high fever. The salicylic acid used by foreigners for treatment is a cheap synthesis method found by German chemists, and then sold to countries all over the world.

However, salicylic acid itself is a medium-strong acid, and it has serious side effects when taken orally. It can cause a burning sensation in the mouth, and it can also cause stomach pain. These are caused by the acidic nature of salicylic acid itself.

A few years ago, a foreign chemical pharmaceutical company developed acetylsalicylic acid, and they named acetylsalicylic acid aspirin.Used for antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic, aspirin is very effective in these aspects. Once it was launched on the market, it became popular and the sales were very hot.

Because of this, and just a few years after it was developed, the price of this drug was not cheap in foreign hospitals in the Republic of China, so most people were still taking relatively cheap salicylic acid. Although it had side effects, it was cheap.
