"traditional Chinese medicine?"
Traditional Chinese medicine is classified as "complementary and alternative medicine" in the United States and is not trusted by mainstream society. At most, it is only popular in the Chinese community.
If some people are still trying acupuncture and massage, foreigners will definitely not try Chinese herbal medicine.
So when Chen Xia mentioned Chinese medicine, old Sam and his wife were very surprised and full of questions.
Chen Xia scratched his head:
"Well, to be exact, it's a plant. The Chinese call it ginseng. Eating a soup made from this plant can help people regain some strength."
The old man and the old woman were also bored at home, especially now that the flu is serious and they haven't been out for a long time, so they thought of asking Chen Xia to take it out and have a look.
So Chen Xia took out a 200-year-old ginseng from his backpack, and the unique herbal fragrance wafted in the air.
Old Sam, with his American adventurous spirit, smiled and said, "It looks like a tree root. Is it really effective? I suddenly want to wipe it."
Mrs. Sam knew her old man's personality, so she didn't try to dissuade him. Besides, since it was a traditional Chinese medicine and a plant, it probably wouldn't have any toxic side effects.
Chen Xia was busy in the kitchen that afternoon. When Old Sam and his children came over in the evening, he had already made a full pot of fragrant ginseng, angelica and wolfberry chicken soup.
The whole family gathered around the pot of chicken soup, all full of interest.
Robson smelled it and said, "It smells so good, Chen. Besides Dad, can we drink this soup?"
While Chen Xia was tying his apron, he and the housekeeper brought out the other dishes he had made that afternoon, such as his signature beef stew with potatoes, spicy and sour potato shreds, and vinegar potato slices...
Well, people who came back from England started to argue with potatoes, and potatoes refused to accept it!
"Sure, but except for children, everyone else can drink it. Except you, Amy, don't drink it secretly, or you'll get a nosebleed."
Little Amy even shouted exaggeratedly, "Uncle Chen, is this true? It's so amazing?"
Chen Xia smiled wickedly: "Whether he's really good or not, you can ask your parents tomorrow and you'll know. You better go back to your room and sleep early tonight."
The brothers John and Jim really didn't believe it, so after Chen Xia served a bowl of soup to Old Sam and Mrs. Sam, he couldn't wait to serve a bowl as well.
The whole family slurped up the soup and gave thumbs-up after finishing it: "It has a refreshing herbal fragrance. The chicken soup is so delicious."
the next day.
Uncle Sam was already strolling in the garden accompanied by the family nurse. When he saw Chen Xia coming out wrapped in a thick coat, he laughed at her.
"I'm telling you young people, your physical condition is getting worse day by day. What are you going to do when you get old?"
"Hey, Uncle Sam, you look good today. How are you feeling?"
"I feel great. I even have more strength to walk today. The Chinese medicine you mentioned really works wonders. My stool is a little dry, though, so the nurse had to use a suppository."
It would be strange if 200-year-old authentic wild ginseng had no effect.
"Use it if it works, but you can't eat wild ginseng often. I've left three stalks at home for you. From now on, you can make chicken soup with it once every two weeks. Don't use more than 5 grams each time, just a little bit will do."
Mrs. Sam came up and kissed him madly again: "You are such a good child. You are willing to share such precious Chinese medicine with us. Thank you, Chen."
Chen Xia was embarrassed. This amount of wild ginseng was not a lot, but not a little either. There were two full containers. It would take him many years to finish it.
After the Robson brothers got up, everyone was really impressed by the "ginseng" that Chen Xia brought. The night before, their married life was simply perfect.
Chen Xia himself is a doctor, so the Chinese medicine he brought out can gain the trust of the Walton family. He also promised these brothers that he would mail some of the best wild ginseng after returning home.
Chen Xia only stayed in Walton's manor for one night and had to leave the next day. After all, he had official duties to attend to and had no choice.
Before leaving, Old Sam personally escorted Chen Xia to the gate, then shook his hand vigorously:
"Robson has already told me that all the goods you provide to supermarkets are very popular with consumers, and the prices are really very low. Don't worry, we will always treat you as our best partner."
Chen Xia was still a little touched. Although he didn't say a word, Old Sam still gave him a reassurance before leaving.
With this guarantee, Chen Xia was able to get the small department store and textile company through the initial stages of entrepreneurship and finally enter the stage of self-sustaining finance.
At noon that day, Jiuxia flew back to England urgently.
After one month of use of oseltamivir, the influenza epidemic has been significantly brought under control, showing a gratifying situation of "double reduction" in the number of infections and a sharp drop in the mortality rate.
Fortunately, influenza has a very typical seasonality, and with the arrival of winter, the virus is almost frozen to death.
In addition, as a large amount of influenza data is compiled, relevant academic papers have also been published.
The paper, "The Latest Clinical Ideas in Influenza", with Ren Yuanfei as the first author, Shi Yuping, director of the Respiratory Department of Hong Kong Margaret Hospital, as the second author, and Feng Runguang as the third author, was also published in a supplement of The Lancet.
Finally, Ren Yuanfei's big worry was relieved, and his long-cherished wish was fulfilled.
Before, he had watched his colleagues step onto the international medical stage one by one, achieve fame and fortune, and even give priority to larger houses when they were allocated housing. He always felt uncomfortable.
Now, Ren Yuanfei felt that he was finally on an equal footing with them, and it was justified for him to live in a big house.
Over the past month, he has been working tirelessly, traveling day and night to teach academics in various countries. He feels he has gained a lot of knowledge through frequent exchanges with top experts from various countries.
This trip was not in vain, and the pain this disciple suffered was not in vain.
You have to know that other doctors are not as glorious as Ren Yuanfei. No matter which country he goes to, he is treated as a VIP. He became famous in Europe, the most developed medical region.
Even the International Epidemiological Society formally invited him to become a director, making him the fourth director of an international medical organization for Yuezhou Hospital.
When Chen Xia mysteriously disappeared and then quietly reappeared, he didn't ask any questions.
Anyway, Ren Yuanfei felt that since his apprentice was so rich, he shouldn't take advantage of going abroad to become an international trader and continue to engage in speculation, right?
A month and a half later, the flu epidemic was basically over, except for Lithuania.
In fact, the country had already seen Lithuania's performance before the fight. After the fight, no one cared whether they lived or died.
Of course, the saints don't need to worry about the wealthy people in Lithuania. Even if they have money, why worry about not being able to buy oseltamivir? They have plenty of ways to do it.
