Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 81 Wang Chengzhou’s ambition
In the 70s, "Dream of Red Mansions" was very popular, and high school students could even bring it to class to watch it.

All because the teacher once said:
China has a vast territory, rich resources, a large population, and a long history. There is also a "Dream of Red Mansions".

This shows how high the praise is!

Of course, Wang Chengzhou didn't think that much.

I just want to make amends with the evil-hearted Liu Xiliang.

After reading through the thick book, I found that the fourth volume, which is the continuation of Gao E's writing, is missing.

I didn't care.

He smiled and asked: "Comrade Xiao Xu, how much does this set of books cost?"

"The whole set is priced at 3 yuan, but this one is missing one book..."

Xiao Xu couldn't make the decision, so he looked at Director Liu with a long voice.

"Since there is one less book, let's just make it cheaper..."

"Yes, books are different from other objects. They lack an ending, which is very disturbing to readers."

Wang Chengzhou quickly took over the conversation and said exaggeratedly:
"When you meet someone with a bad temper and you can't see a happy story, you will get sick from anger."

"Besides, this set of books has probably been there for a few years. If they are not dealt with in time, they may be eaten by rats."

"When the time comes, that big rat will gain Mr. Xueqin's wisdom and become a spirit. He may even evacuate the entire supply and marketing cooperative."

When the saleswoman heard what he said was interesting, she covered her mouth and smiled.

The voice is crisp.

The corner of Liu Xiliang's mouth twitched, as if he was trying to figure out something.

But I'm not sure.

I'm just chatting with you, not smiling at all.

"So, let's just add a zero, Director Liu, and I don't want the 8 cents."

Wang Chengzhou packed up the three books with a smile and a generous look on his face, "I will kindly help you deal with this incomplete set of "Dream of Red Mansions"!"

"what?"

Saleswoman Xiao Xu's laughter stopped suddenly, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Is there such a thing as erasing zeros?
A whole set of books is 3 yuan and 8 yuan, plus a zero, 8 cents?

How did this person calculate?

It's too bold!
"This……"

Director Liu had never seen anyone bargaining like this before and couldn't help but stutter.

Wang Chengzhou didn't give him a chance. He took out a few crumpled cloth tickets from his pocket and handed them over, "Comrade Xiao Xu, pull 12 feet of fine cotton for me."

"Those with clean elements are suitable for lesbians to wear."

"Director Liu, don't worry about a few shabby books. I took advantage of it this time. When you come to a meeting next time, just come over."

Liu Xiliang was shocked.

I couldn't help but think of the relationship between the cheeky young man in front of me and the commune secretary Zhou Chaomin.

So, he immediately concealed the unhappiness on his face and said with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Wang, you are really good at bargaining."

As he said that, he pointed at him.

Wang Chengzhou felt relieved and said in an equally friendly manner: "Director Liu, do we sell radios here?"

"Of course there is."

Liu Xiliang looked curious and smiled meaningfully, "Comrade Xiao Wang, are you planning to buy a radio?"

"The radios we have here are of the 'Red Light Brand'. They come from the No. [-] Radio Factory and are of top quality."

"Of course, the price is also expensive, about 70 yuan per unit."

Seeing that Wang Chengzhou was in a shabby state, he didn't even mention the industrial coupons.

How could a village health worker possibly be able to get that thing out of his hands? It was a waste of time to talk about it.

70 yuan...

It is worthy of being one of the "three turns and one ring". Such a price is simply something that a farmer like me can look up to.

Wang Chengzhou touched the three industrial coupons in his pocket and made secret calculations.Maybe, get more atractylodes next time?
But thinking about the adobe house at home, I still gave up.

Food and clothing are still a problem. Such things are beyond the reach of me now.

Suppressing the unrealistic desire, he turned his head and said bitterly: "Comrade Xiao Xu, give me another ten pounds of white noodles!"

In fact, the reason why I care so much about radio is that the mountain village is too isolated and has no channels to understand external information.

Although, as a time traveler, I can remember roughly the major historical events, but in such turbulent years, it is simply not enough.

With reluctance in his heart, Wang Chengzhou bought ten kilograms of white flour, twelve feet of cotton cloth, a bottle of white wine, a box of large front doors, and two kilograms of pork in one go.

It cost a full ten dollars.

13 yuan, really, only a fraction left...

The main reason is that the cotton fabric is a bit expensive, only 4 cents per foot, so it cost 4 yuan at once.

I immediately used up all the cloth coupons my family had accumulated over the years.

Fortunately, my family was poor before and there was no use in holding cloth tickets, so I was able to have so much left.

Place all kinds of things one by one, wrap them together carefully, and carry them on your shoulders.

Wang Chengzhou has returned home.

All in all, a few days' harvest can bring so much money, which is really enough to make people's hearts beat faster.

The plan in my heart to deal with herbal medicine has become stronger and stronger.

Everything is ready, all that is needed is a mighty east wind!

The time to blow the trumpet is less than a year away.

Wang Chengzhou was filled with energy when he thought of this.

Carrying the baggage and walking, my buttocks stick out.

In fact, what he is best at is medical skills, and he only learned how to prepare herbal medicine incidentally.

However, as a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, I can't make much money by treating ordinary people.

To diagnose a disease, you only need to look, smell, ask, and diagnose, and no testing equipment is needed at all; to treat a disease, you only need a few needles and a few medicines, which are not worth the [-] cents.

Wang Chengzhou didn't want to make unconscionable money, so he had no choice but to focus on Chinese medicinal materials.

Anyway, with the opening up of the economy and the promotion of capital, Western medicine has become popular, and Chinese medicine has become less and less important in the country.

Instead, a large amount of herbal medicine was transferred through a certain island, processed, and exported abroad.

The drug farmers worked hard for a whole year, but in the end, all the money was made by those turtle grandchildren.

If you are successful, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone.

Wang Chengzhou is definitely poor, but he believes that one day he will be successful.

When the time comes, whether it can help the whole world is another matter. At least, there is hope that we can bring prosperity to the people in eight villages across ten miles.

However, that is all too far.

For now, I'd better cut off some plain clothes and give them to my senior sister to wear.

Wang Chengzhou grinned and giggled.

I returned home in one breath, but it was already past noon.

The family went to work again.

Wang Chengzhou had no choice but to leave pork, white noodles and Daqianmen cigarettes at home.

Of course, there is also the incomplete copy of "Dream of Red Mansions" bought for Si Ya.

As for cotton cloth and liquor, you have to mention the back mountain.

One is for senior sister and the other is for master.

Old Luan was cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Although he looked down on himself on the surface, he still had plenty to teach him.

However, Wang Chengzhou's talent is limited. After learning it for so long, he is still the most proficient in Five Elements Boxing.

As for the twelve-shaped boxing, it’s a bit hard to describe.

We can only hope that after receiving the gift, Luan Xiuwu can be more tolerant to himself.
