Chapter 279 Buying Medicine
There was a tiger and a monkey. The two children were so happy that neither of them wanted to eat it now. They took it carefully in their hands and prepared to take it back and show it to other friends.
The marshmallows in his hands had been exposed to the air for too long, and the surface was a little sugary. Neither of them had time to eat them. Ye Yaodong simply opened his mouth and helped them take two big bites, but he felt that the corners of his mouth were full of sugar and a little sticky. Yes, I stretched out my tongue but couldn't lick it.
When Lin Xiuqing saw this, she pulled them to the corner of the roadside and said, "I'll go to the shop next door to get you some water to wipe it off."
He nodded and waited on the roadside. When he had nothing to do, he looked around at the shops next to him. Unexpectedly, he saw an old acquaintance in the drugstore next to him.
When Lin Xiuqing wiped the corners of his mouth, she saw him staring at the pharmacy and looked over curiously, "What are you looking at? Do you know the people inside?"
"Go in and take a look!"
If you meet someone, say hello.
As soon as a family of four walked into the pharmacy, they attracted the attention of the people inside. The young people there were also surprised, "It's you. What a coincidence. You brought your wife and children out to the market?"
"Yes, I just saw Comrade Hong at the door and came in to say hello. Are you here to buy medicine?"
Hong Wenle held a small box in his hand and showed it to him, "I asked the drugstore to buy it for me in advance. Come and get it."
After saying that, he looked at the drugstore owner and said, "One hundred and twenty, right?"
"Yes, we just earn some hard-earned money for traveling expenses."
The couple's eyes widened when they heard this. Why is the medicine so expensive?
Ye Yaodong also asked curiously, "What kind of medicine is it? Ginseng? It's so expensive."
"No, it's Angong Niuhuang Pills. The elderly at home are elderly, so I'll keep two pills just in case for first aid."
Angong Niuhuang Pill?
He had briefly read about this drug before!
The price of Angong Niuhuang Pills in the 1980s was sky-high...
This is one of the three life-saving medicines!
No wonder it sells for 120!
His heart moved slightly. The old lady was getting older. Because of what happened to her first cousin and second cousin, the old lady felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't eat or sleep. She had obviously looked a little depressed in the past two days, and her face was no longer as bright as before. Refreshed mind.
Sitting outside the door basking in the sun, he no longer had a smile on his face, and he would doze off frequently. He was worried that the old man would lose his energy.
"any left?"
He can't go to the capital, so this opportunity today is really rare!
Although expensive, it is difficult to buy the health of the elderly. This is a life-saving medicine for the elderly. The Angong Niuhuang Pills in the 1980s were very precious.
It was a secret recipe of the palace during the Kangxi period and was a famous medicine used by the emperor.
There is a very precious medicinal material in it, called rhino horn. Rhinos will be classified as first-level protected animals in the future, so future medicines cannot contain rhino horns as a traditional Chinese medicine. In the past, medicines containing rhino horns were naturally regarded as treasures.
Moreover, before 1992, China had not joined the World Organization for the Protection of Animals. This medicine used rhino horn ingredients and natural bezoar. After 1992, it was replaced by buffalo horn. Since then, the effectiveness of the medicine has been greatly reduced.
In the future, this medicine can be sold for tens of thousands per pill. He has no hope of making a fortune by hoarding this medicine. The time cost is too high, and the effectiveness of the medicine will be greatly reduced after decades of storage. People who speculate at such a high price are generally just for the sake of it. Collect, he just wants to prepare two for the old lady and the elderly at home, just in case of emergency. ….
Hong Wenle raised his eyebrows, "You want to buy it?"
This is not cheap. How can ordinary people afford to buy it?
"I also have elderly people in my family, so I'm prepared for anything."
He can still afford 120 a piece.
The drugstore owner smiled and said: "I just happened to have a few extra pills. This medicine is very good and the price is high so I don't have to worry about selling it. How many pills do you want?"
"Two pills... three pills, forget it, forget it... Do you have five pills?"
There are three elderly people in his family, as well as his father-in-law. What if I can also use it? 5 pills is not much, so I may not be able to find it next time.
Having died once, he was very afraid of death.
Lin Xiuqing's eyes widened as she listened. She quickly pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Are you crazy? This medicine is so expensive, and you still have five pills. You are not allowed to buy even one pill! What kind of magic medicine costs 120? You don't want to buy it?" You must make your own decisions.”
"This is a rare encounter. I may not even think about it next time..."
The shopkeeper nodded, "This is the medicine used by the emperor in the past for first aid. It's not that I sell it expensively. This medicine is the secret recipe of Tongrentang in Beijing. Mr. Hong specially asked me to bring it. Otherwise, he didn't have it yet, so he bought two." pellets, I only have 3 pellets here."
He said and took out the medicine and placed it on the counter.
Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing, "Buy it, buy it, life is important. I think the old lady was hit by what happened to her cousin. She has not been in good spirits these days, so buy two more pills for spare use."
When it came to the old lady, Lin Xiuqing was at a loss. The old lady really cared about her man, and she should be filial to the old lady. She didn't want anything to happen to such a good old lady.
In the past few days, the old lady has been feeling very uncomfortable and worried due to the incident involving her eldest cousin and her second cousin. That is also her eldest grandson, and she is also older.
"Then buy one?"
"There are only three pills. Take them all and keep them as spares." His current financial resources are pretty good, and he can afford to spend several hundred to buy a few life-saving pills.
"But we didn't come out with so much money..."
ah!
He had forgotten this.
He's just going out to the market. Who brings so much money, are they worried that they won't be able to get rid of it?
I'm blind now.
Ye Yaodong said awkwardly: "We went out to the market and didn't bring that much money with us. Can we come back in the afternoon?"
"Okay, but I can't guarantee that it will still be there after you come, and I can't keep it for you just because you talk nonsense."
Just when he was thinking that he could only wait until the afternoon to try his luck, Hong Wenle said, "I can buy these three for you first, and then go to the hotel to find me after you get the money in the afternoon."
Ye Yaodong was surprised by his help, and instantly felt grateful again, "Thank you very much. I will definitely take the money."
"Haha, it's okay to come over, I don't think it's too much."
"Then what I want, I'll pick it up from the hotel after lunch."
Hong Wenle smiled nonchalantly, took the medicine and carefully identified it, then gave the medicine to him and looked at it carefully, and then paid the money if there was no problem.
After walking out of the pharmacy, Ye Yaodong said he would definitely pick it up before saying goodbye.
After several interactions, he still believed in this person's character, and there was no need for him to take matters into his own hands.
After the family of four came out of the drugstore, they walked around the market. As long as the children were interested, they would stop and try their best to satisfy the two children's requests. They were originally taking them out to have fun. ….
After they visited all the markets, Lin Xiuqing also had a lot of snacks on her hands, such as maltose, light cakes, oil cakes, noodle tea cakes, blown sugar figures, candied haws, rice sticks and so on.
She had a headache. She never knew that A Dong was quite spoiled with children. She usually saw him yelling and scolding him every day, but now she couldn't stop buying them for them when she went out.
Seeing the two clamoring for jumping toads again, Lin Xiuqing immediately grimaced and said, "Once you have this, you are not allowed to buy it again. Look, my hands are full of them. They are all yours."
"We didn't buy the couplets and the word "Fu"! Neither did the wool, nor the melon seeds or walnuts, nor the red dates."
Ye Yaodong bought walnuts and red dates for his wife.
"That's not it. The rest are all yours."
Ye Yaodong also said with a smile: "Okay, now that your mother has spoken, you are not allowed to buy another jumping toad."
"Then go to the movies!"
"I haven't forgotten it yet. I thought you were so happy that you forgot about it."
"Hehe, of course I haven't forgotten it. Everyone is waiting for me to tell them after watching the movie whether the cinema is good or not."
"If I don't take you there, will your pride be blown?" Ye Yaodong glanced at his eldest son's head and said, "You are not allowed to be so high-profile, and you are not allowed to talk about family matters. Do you understand?"
"knew!"
The family happily walked to the cinema again.
The cinema is an old-fashioned building with five floors. In his opinion, the house is a bit old, with green painted walls, but in this era when there are low-rise one or two-story tiled houses everywhere, it is already a tall building.
For people nowadays, going to the cinema to watch movies is the most novel and trendy thing. In an era when there were no mobile phones, no ifi, and TVs had not yet entered ordinary people's homes, the cinema was simply a cultural temple in people's minds.
Rural people usually wait for the mobile movie screening teams to go to the countryside. Very few people are willing to go to the cinema in normal times, but during the Chinese New Year, everyone is willing to go to the city to watch a movie.
There is a ticket window on the first floor of the cinema. The window to buy tickets is very small. The iron railings are erected there, so you can only put your hand in to buy tickets.
There are also period movie posters posted around the window, and there are various era slogans on the surrounding walls.
Ye Yaodong saw the crowds in front of the ticket window, and there was an endless stream of people buying, exchanging, and refunding tickets.
As the New Year is approaching, many families are willing to spend money, and the swarm of people has even packed the theater door.
Many scalpers mixed in the crowd were doing somersaults with their tickets and kept shouting: "You want tickets? Do you want tickets?"
Ye Yaodong did not go to the window to queue up to buy tickets, but asked the scalper to buy the show that he could watch immediately this morning. Otherwise, there would be a huge crowd in front of the cinema and he would not know how long he would have to wait in line.
And now the activity of watching movies has to be completed in two parts. Because there are few movies and many audiences, you usually buy advance tickets and then wait a day or two or longer to watch them.
A ten cent movie ticket can bring people happiness that lasts a long time.
Because I have movie tickets and look forward to watching movies, I suddenly feel a little more happy, a little excited, and a little longing for it, and I feel that my life is passing quickly and is very fulfilling. ….
Those who are under 1.3 meters tall do not need to buy tickets. Of course, they must share the same seat as an adult, so Ye Yaodong only bought two tickets. The movie is called Shaolin Temple. It is a new movie released this year and has been played on a loop, and its popularity continues unabated.
After receiving the movie tickets, the two children couldn't wait to stand on tiptoes and grab his hand, "Show me, show me, what the movie tickets look like..."
"I want to see too……"
Ye Yaodong handed the tickets in his hand to the two children, "Don't break them. If you break them, you won't be able to watch the movie. Just go home."
"Won't."
The two of them carefully held the movie tickets with their hands and laughed so hard, "I can finally watch a movie!"
"Let's go, wait at the entrance, and check the tickets when the time comes." Ye Yaodong picked up the younger one again, held the older one, and asked his wife to grab the hem of his clothes and follow.
There is an iron fence at the entrance to the theater, and ticket holders need to stand in line and check their tickets before they can enter.
When it was almost time, they stepped forward and lined up to go in.
There are rows of wooden chairs in the simple screening room, full of traces of time. It is crowded with people. Many adults and children have come in. Everyone's face is filled with joy and happiness, and they are all discussing and talking. Happy things.
They searched around hard, and after finding their seats, they sat down happily and ate snacks while waiting. The melon seeds they bought before also came in handy.
Some ate and some watched, the novel experience made the adults and children in the cinema chattering nonstop.
It wasn't until the screening was about to begin that the scene became quiet.
Everyone was looking at the screen without blinking. Lin Xiuqing also kept the corners of her mouth raised, and the sparkle in her eyes could be called happiness. .
