Bringing a Hospital Back to the 80s

In her previous life, she was a slacker doctor who returned to 1980. In an unfamiliar environment, the first major problems to solve were food and survival.

Fortunately, she carried a spatial...

Chapter 174 Papaya

What other special effects does papaya have? The venue became lively and everyone started to speculate.

Some say it’s good for your period.

Some say it is good for beauty.

Some say it can make you immortal.

As they were guessing, the topic started to go off track. Chen Xia curled his lips and said, this is not the ginseng fruit of Zhenyuan Daxian. This is just exaggeration.

Director Mao became impatient and urged: "Hurry up and tell me, everyone is waiting for the answer."

Chen Xia covered his mouth, secretly glanced at the female cadres present, and then said with a sly smile:

"Papaya contains a substance called papain, which is very effective in promoting breast development in lesbians and can stimulate lactation in postpartum women."

Before he could finish his words, Gu Wei slapped him on the back of the head. Chen Xia let out a strange cry, and everyone was startled by this sudden move.

Dean Gu was furious, thinking, "Well, no wonder you prepared so many papayas for Gu Lin. You actually dislike her because she's so young? You're so rude at such a young age. What will happen to you in the future? It seems like you deserve to be punished."

But he couldn't say that, so he just gritted his teeth and said:

"You little brat, introduce yourself properly. You're so young and you dare to say that. Aren't you ashamed? Shut up and speak properly."

Everyone around burst into laughter. After all, the gay men were so serious during the meeting, but after the meeting, they told a lot of dirty jokes.

Mao Yangping also smiled and said, "Old Gu, I didn't expect you to be so feudal. We are all old men here, so what's wrong with talking?"

As soon as these old men talked about lesbians, they immediately became excited, the conversation went off track, and the subject changed. They were all spitting, as if they had been through a lot of battles.

Uh... could it be that the dean can now have sexual relations with female employees?

Chen Xia didn't mind driving with everyone, but when he saw Dean Gu's ferocious look, he decided to keep quiet and pretend to be an innocent little virgin who knew nothing.

Everyone has tasted it and laughed enough, and is looking forward to the tropical fruits being distributed as a welfare benefit during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Director Mao asked, "What are the prices of these tropical fruits?"

Chen Xia thought for a moment. These days, apples are 5 or 6 cents a pound. Surely this tropical fruit must be more expensive than apples? Would he tell everyone he bought it for two cents a pound?

Don’t forget that Ruili is thousands of kilometers away from Yuezhou. Even if he doesn’t make money from the fruit, he will still have to make some money from the “freight”.

"No, the price is not cheap. Although the fruit is not expensive in the place of origin, the key is that the shipping cost is too high. The mangoes and papayas are both 2 yuan per pound, and the pineapples are cheaper at 1.5 yuan per pound."

As soon as Chen Xia finished quoting the price, the conference room was filled with a hissing sound, as if everyone had been scalded.

He expected their reaction, so he continued:

"This price includes shipping, but there's one thing: the fruit can only be delivered to our Fourth Hospital. Any units that want us to purchase on their behalf need to come to the Fourth Hospital to pick up the fruit themselves. We don't offer free shipping."

When everyone heard this, they thought the price was really damn expensive. But when they thought about the delicious food they had just tasted, they felt that the high price was justified. Several deans were calculating how many kilograms they should buy for their own units.

If you can't afford too much, you can always buy some to try.

When Dean Gu saw Chen Xia, he knew that this guy wanted to engage in speculative business again, and his purchase price was definitely not this.

But making money this way would benefit both Chen Xia and the employees of the health system, so they decided to help him.

"Everyone, quickly discuss it and report the figures for each unit to me. Anyway, the standard for our Fourth Hospital is to give out 5 kilograms of each of the three kinds of fruit. This is a rare opportunity, so let's give everyone a taste."

But let's make it clear first, the money has to be paid in advance, no credit. We can't ask us to pay for the fruit we bought for you, even brothers have to settle accounts. The Health Bureau's share is ours, the same amount as ours."

Mao Yangping and several other Health Bureau leaders were amused when they heard this. "Well, Director Gu is truly magnanimous. We'll respectfully obey your orders, haha."

The hospitals that finally decided to purchase fruits included Yuezhou Second Hospital, Yuezhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Shunjiang County Hospital, Jiyang People's Hospital, Jiyang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Jinting People's Hospital, etc., plus Yuezhou Fourth Hospital itself, a total of 7 hospitals, plus the Health Bureau.

After a preliminary calculation, I estimated that I would need about 1 kilogram of mango, pineapple and papaya.

There are now several kilograms of fruit in the parking lot of Chen Xia Space Hospital. The money earned from this trip is really huge. With a cost of 2 cents and selling it for 2 yuan, he made more than 80,000 yuan in one go.

This profit is even more profitable than dentistry in later generations.

The hospital leaders who placed the orders were very happy and couldn't wait to go back and tell the employees the good news.

The leaders who didn't place orders were furious, such as Yuezhou First Hospital, Yuezhou Third Hospital, and several poor county hospitals. The directors of several hospitals were definitely furious when they returned home.

None of this has anything to do with Chen Xia. Anyway, his most important job now is to quickly contact the fruit farmers in Nanyun Province, coordinate railway transportation links, etc. This task is very arduous, and everyone is indebted to him.

On the way back in the car, Chen Xia was so annoyed by Dean Gu's half-smile that his scalp tingled. It was not until they got off the car at the Fourth Hospital that Dean Gu patted him on the shoulder.

A meaningful reminder: "The fruit must be of guaranteed quality and quantity, and the handling must also be clean."

Chen Xia didn't hold back on Dean Gu. He just said with a playful smile, "Don't worry, Dean. I'll charge market prices for everything and I won't make a penny more than the hospital earns."

"Haha, you kid, get out of here."

The news that the General Affairs Department was going to purchase a batch of mangoes, pineapples and papayas for the Dragon Boat Festival spread throughout the hospital the next day, and the staff immediately started discussing it enthusiastically.

Yang Jingye wanted to object, but when he saw the high enthusiasm of the employees, he wisely kept his mouth shut. If he dared to say "no" at this time, he would be making an enemy of all the employees in the hospital.

It’s better to wait for a chance to deal with Chen Xia in the future. Besides, he also wants to taste the tropical fruit.

Gu Lin was the only calm person in the hospital. Unlike her usual gluttonous attitude, she actually complained about having difficulty digesting the fruit she ate.

The young nurses were so angry that they almost beat her to death for being such a show-off.

How could she not be calm! Chen Xia sent her several boxes of various fruits. She now eats fruits as meals. Every day when she eats too much, she feels full and full, and she can feel a sense of happiness.
