Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 473 Big Pot Medicine Novel Fans

Hearing this, Bi Qiaoan breathed a sigh of relief, and then he was in the mood to make fun of Shen Yanming.

But not long after, I heard someone knocking on the door. I opened it and found that it was Li Gangtie and Guo Tingshuo.

Shen Yanming welcomed the two in, and Guo Tingshuo spoke first, "Yanming, your application to exchange vegetables for milk powder has been approved. The guard came over and asked, should we send you back to the dormitory or here?"

Shen Yanming thought for a moment and said, "Let's send them to the dormitory. There are too many people here and it's too eye-catching."

Guo Tingshuo nodded to show his understanding.

Although they followed the formal procedures, some people could not help but feel mean and thought that he was taking advantage of the guard team.

"Then you talk to Lao Li. I'll go inform the security guard and ask him to wait for you at the apartment." Guo Tingshuo reminded, "Go back after the talk. Everyone is at work right now, so there won't be many people at the dormitory."

Shen Yanming nodded, "Thank you!"

After Guo Tingshuo left, Li Gangtie said, "The herbs are ready. They will be delivered in about half an hour. This month, we mainly need pills to relieve the summer heat."

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan looked at each other, and they understood each other tacitly.

Bi Qiaoan did not agree, so Shen Yanming asked what he had guessed, "Captain Li, there are so many Chinese medicine practitioners in the team, can't their prescriptions be used? Also, don't Chinese medicine pharmacies have a lot of Chinese patent medicines for cooling down the heat?"

Li Gangtie was not surprised at all that Shen Yanming would have such a question. He did not hide it and said directly: "We have tried it. There is an effect, but it is not obvious. It feels like the players have to rely on themselves to get through it after taking the medicine. They feel dizzy, nauseous and want to vomit. The whole process is very uncomfortable."

Shen Yanming nodded, but said bluntly: "We have a prescription for cooling off here, but it may not work. Since it is for most people, there is no need to make pills. That is too much effort, and the number of people who can benefit is limited. Why not try making some big pots of medicine?"

"Big pot medicine? As long as the effect is good, it doesn't matter what form it takes."

"Well, I can't guarantee the effect." Shen Yanming was still as cautious as ever, "I can only guarantee that the prescription is fine and the efficacy is fine, but I don't know how effective it is for those guards who suffer from heatstroke every day."

Li Gangtie frowned, "You are contradicting yourself. The medicine is effective, so how can it not be effective when used on the guards?"

Shen Yanming couldn't explain this, he could only smile and say: "That's not necessarily the case, otherwise, why did the guards try so many Chinese patent medicines and still have to rely on their own immunity in the end."

Li Gangtie had nothing to say. He could only nod and say, "Okay, let's try it first."

Shen Yanming hummed, and then said: "My wife can prepare the medicine. Wait for the guard to deliver the herbs, and ask Qiao An to prepare two sets. You can take it and try the effect first."

"Yes, sure!"

"Okay, you sit here, I'll go home and get the milk powder." Shen Yanming said.

Li Gangtie chuckled, "So your main purpose is to let me help you look after your wife, right?"

Shen Yanming did not deny it, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, that's right, otherwise I would not feel at ease leaving her alone."

"Okay, go ahead. I promise not to leave here until you come back." Li Gangtie promised.

Shen Yanming nodded, whispered a few words to Bi Qiaoan, and left.

The lounge returned to silence. Li Gangtie and Bi Qiaoan stared at each other, feeling a little awkward for a moment.

Li Gangtie touched his head uncomfortably and said, "Just be the same as usual and pretend that I don't exist!"

Bi Qiaoan chuckled, "Okay then, I'll continue to entertain myself. Don't think I'm not doing my job properly."

"Even if you want to work hard, you don't have the chance now." Li Gangtie shook his head and laughed, "Okay, I'm just a rough guy, and I don't know what you young people usually do. You can have fun however you want, don't worry about me."

Bi Qiaoan nodded, picked up his phone and started surfing the Internet.

She had originally planned to watch a movie, but with an older brother sitting next to her, she felt embarrassed to slack off so blatantly.

In fact, surfing the Internet is also a way of slacking off, but there is almost no sound, so she can pretend to be deceiving herself and others.

Li Gangtie saw that the other party was holding the mobile phone and remained silent. He couldn't help but think of his own daughter, who also loved playing with the mobile phone.

They love playing to such an extent that they never take their eyes off the screen, and even when they do, they have headphones in their ears.

He didn't know what she watched or listened to every day. Every time he asked his daughter, she would roll her eyes and say, "You don't understand."

So, when he sees a fan of the same phone as him, he really wants to ask the other person, what are you looking at?

However, thinking about what he had just said, asking Qiao An to ignore him, he felt embarrassed to interrupt her. He could only suppress his eager heart and wait until she was free to ask again.

Although Bi Qiaoan was looking at the screen of his mobile phone, he also paid some attention to Li Gangtie.

Seeing that he was restless and wanted to say something but hesitated for a while, she took the initiative to speak: "Just say whatever you want to say. Do we need to hide anything from each other?"

After being exposed, Li Gangtie smiled innocently, "That's right, I want to ask, what are you guys playing with your mobile phones? Why are you so addicted? My daughter holds a mobile phone all day long, and even wears headphones when she sleeps. I don't even know what she is listening to."

Bi Qiaoan was stunned for a moment before saying, "It's games, movies, news, chatting, etc. If your daughter often wears headphones, she's either listening to music or novels. From what you said, she never leaves the screen, so she's probably a fan of novels."

Bi Qiaoan thought of the vast amount of novels he had downloaded to his storage device and smiled, "Reading novels is quite addictive."

Li Gangtie didn't expect this to be the case. He thought that he was either practicing or handling affairs every day, and he really didn't know the hobbies of young people.

However, when he asked Bi Qiaoan to help him download reading software, he was rejected.

The reason is that I don’t want a hardworking uncle to fall into the poisonous pit of novels.

Li Gangtie shuddered when he thought about his daughter's condition and stopped insisting.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door. He got up to open the door and saw a group of more than a dozen guards coming with herbs and tools.

They put the things on the table, said hello to Li Gangtie and left.

Bi Qiaoan unpacked the things, checked them one by one, and after confirming that they were all good, he started to prepare the big pot of medicine.

Because the large pot of medicine does not require such precise dosage, it can be prepared in just a few minutes.

Li Gangtie held two packets of medicine and hesitated, "You prepared it so quickly, will this medicine be effective? Otherwise, wait for Yanming to come back and let him take a look?"

Bi Qiaoan rolled his eyes and said, "This big pot of medicine is definitely different from the pills. It is originally rough. If the effect is not good, it is not the prescription's fault."
