Chapter 258 The Source of Ginseng is a Hidden Danger
The employees around were all talking about it and expressing their surprise. Lin Sanqi's fever had subsided but everyone had seen it with their own eyes, and no one suspected that he was cheating.
Pan Ye looked at her boyfriend with eyes full of stars: "Wow, Sanqi, you are so awesome!"
Dean Shen also sighed in his heart. This is the confidence of the children of traditional Chinese medicine families. Even the most untalented youngest son of the Lin family has a unique skill.
Mr. Shi stroked his beard and was quite satisfied with Lin Sanqi's performance tonight.
The old man is more open-minded than others. No matter what prescription you use, being able to cure the patient is the real skill. This shows that this little apprentice can still be saved.
The child's parents naturally burst into tears of joy: "Thank you, thank you, Dr. Lin, you are truly a miracle doctor."
Lin Sanqi laughed and waved his hand:
"Don't be too happy too soon. The child's fever has temporarily subsided, but the cause of the disease has not been eliminated. He needs to continue taking medicine. Please keep these paper bags. I have written the names of the medicines and instructions for use on them.
This is the Amo formula, one packet at a time, three times a day. This is the ibuprofen formula, I'll give you two packets. Use only when the fever is over 39 degrees Celsius. If the child still has a fever after three days, come to the hospital and see me!
The paper bag was made temporarily by Lin Sanqi.
Tear off the paper string on the notebook, pour in amoxicillin granules and ibuprofen granules, fold it a few times, and the paper package is done. It is exactly the same as when the barefoot doctor gave medicine when we were young, and no one will suspect anything.
There is a magical pattern when children get sick.
When the fever was high, everyone had their heads drooped and looked sick.
Especially for children with high fever convulsions, the convulsions are very scary, with their faces turning black, foaming at the mouth, and their whole bodies twitching.
But when the fever subsides, the child will recover very quickly and will be full of energy and vitality as soon as the fever is gone.
The same situation is happening now. This frightened child was previously suspected of dying, but now, apart from being soaked all over, he has started talking non-stop as if nothing happened before.
The young couple was so happy that they knelt down to express their gratitude again.
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that it had been 11 years since the liberation, why were people still kneeling and worshipping?
The child's father quickly took a sack from the donkey cart and handed it to Lin Sanqi gratefully:
"Dr. Lin, and these other old gentlemen, thank you so much. Here are 20 kilograms of sorghum rice. This is a token of my gratitude. Please accept it."
Since they could come here in the middle of the night by driving a donkey cart, it was obvious that the young couple were not poor.
Lin Sanqi actually wanted to take the sorghum rice, because he had never eaten it and wanted to try it, but when he looked at Dean Shen, Dean Shen shook his head slightly.
Lin Sanqi didn't hesitate and put it back into the child's father's hands:
"Comrade, I appreciate your kindness. I'll just settle the medical bills later. I can't take the food; it's too precious. Save it for the child's nourishment."
"How can we be so embarrassed to bother you so late at night? You doctors saved our child, and we should be grateful."
"If you really want to thank me, just send me a banner tomorrow. No need for food..."
Dean Shen was just feeling happy, thinking that Lin Sanqi was a man of great integrity, not taking a single needle or thread from the masses, but why was he asking for a banner? He almost choked to death.
But Mr. Shi laughed out loud: "Old Xiao, Old Han, let's go back to sleep."
The onlookers were also preparing to leave. They had watched three good shows in one night and satisfied their gossipy hearts.
When Lin Sanqi sent Pan Ye back to the dormitory, he felt a little strange:
"Sanqi, that child was in danger just now. How did you diagnose his condition?"
"That's it. Actually, the child's convulsions are just a symptom. It's because of the abnormal brain discharge caused by the high body temperature. But why is the body temperature so high? In fact, when I examined the child, I found that his tonsils were all covered with white spots. This is a sign of tonsillitis.
This disease is called "milky moth disease" in traditional Chinese medicine, and from a Western medical perspective, it is generally caused by infections with hemolytic streptococci, Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, etc. It is more common in spring and autumn and is considered the most serious type of cold.
"Then this child won't have any sequelae in the future, right? The convulsion just now was so scary."
"There won't be any sequelae. Generally speaking, the younger the child and the higher the body temperature, the less harmful the heat shock will be. It's scary when you have the shock, but it's nothing more than that after it's over. Don't worry about it.
But there are exceptions, such as convulsions with a low-grade fever, or convulsions without a fever, or convulsions in older children. That's a serious problem, and it could be epilepsy. Oh, or in Chinese medicine, it's called epilepsy."
"Lin Sanqi, you know so much!"
Arriving at the door of Pan Ye's dormitory, Lin Sanqi was about to rush in, but was stopped by Pan Ye:
"No, no, we can't do that without getting married..."
Lin Sanqi scratched his head and forced an explanation:
"You're such an impure woman! I'm here as a hospital leader to check the hygiene of your dorm. What are you imagining?"
Pan Ye blushed again and made a face: "Huh, don't I know what you're thinking? Go back to sleep."
Lin Sanqi sighed, thinking that girls in 1960 were really conservative. However, Pan Ye was already the meat in his pot, so he was not in a hurry. So he took out two eggs from his pocket and stuffed them into his girlfriend's hands:
"Here, you can eat it when you're hungry at night. Don't hide it, it'll go bad easily. I'm going on a business trip for a few days tomorrow, so you'll eat with the old man and the others while I'm away. Do you understand?"
Pan Ye was holding the two eggs and felt quite touched.
Seeing that there was no one around and it was pitch black all around, he quickly kissed Lin Sanqi on the cheek and then slammed the door shut.
Lin Sanqi touched his face, chuckled, and staggered back to the bungalow area.
Early the next morning, Lin Sanqi drove away in a jeep.
It's not a business trip, but a trip back to 2013. This time I came back with two things to do.
One is to "buy" food for the Digital Hospital. This is a tacit deal between Lin Sanqi and the Digital Hospital, or the green army uniforms behind the Digital Hospital.
Lin Sanqi provided them with food, and they endorsed Lin Sanqi, acting as his protective umbrella.
So Lin Sanqi must do this matter beautifully for them.
The Digital Hospital values the Northeastern wild ginseng at 200,000 yuan.
In fact, there is some water in this, because the quotation they gave to Lin Sanqi was the sales price. In fact, the cost price of the digital hospital may be less than 100,000 yuan.
So Lin Sanqi would not be too saintly. If he calculated based on the price of 1.7 cents per pound of flour in the state-owned grain store, he would have to prepare about 600 tons of grain.
But there is a saying that goes, "A peck of rice is a favor, a peck of rice is a grudge." If something is too easy to get, no one will know how to cherish it. So Lin Sanqi decided to give a discount on the food and give 100 tons of rice and 100 tons of flour.
This means that a pound of grain is equivalent to 50 cents. The Digital Hospital must have found out that the price of a pound of fine grain on the black market has reached 5 yuan, a full ten times difference.
This quotation can make the Digital Hospital believe that Lin Sanqi is doing his best to get food and is not trying to gain any profit from it, thus maximizing the favor.
Is Lin Sanqi at a loss?
More than 400 wild ginsengs that are over 50 years old are worth hundreds of millions.
How much does 200 tons of grain cost? About 700,000 RMB...
Is it similar to buying for free? If he continues to make money, he will be struck by lightning while walking.
Back in 2013, Lin Sanqi first went to the warehouse area in the west of the village.
The storage requirements for Chinese medicinal materials and food ingredients are very high and they need to be in a constant temperature and humidity environment. Therefore, Lingnan Hall built a new modern pharmaceutical-grade warehouse with the highest standards to the west of Shilou Village.
This 1,000-square-meter warehouse alone cost more than 30 million yuan, and the anti-theft and sealing work was done very well.
Lin Sanqi also donates 2 million yuan a year to the village protection team. Basically, as long as they are within the stone building, not even a fly can fly into the warehouse.
Even if the warehouse was demolished by the gangsters in the end, how many medicinal herbs and food ingredients could they move away?
Lin Sanqi frowned after putting the hundreds of wild ginseng from Northeast China since 1960 into boxes in the warehouse.
Because these wild ginsengs are in their original state, they are padded with dry moss and packed in wooden boxes. Some boxes contain several ginsengs.
Those ginseng farmers don’t even have enough food to eat, so how could they have the mood to package the wild ginseng carefully? They just put them in any box.
Ginseng is very precious, and the ginseng roots are also treasures. The roots of a good quality ginseng cannot fall off. If one root falls off, the price will drop by one cent.
How to pack the ginseng and the quality of its packaging are key factors affecting the selling price.
Lingnantang Company Headquarters.
After Lin Sanqi told Lin Tianhua about his concerns, Lin Tianhua also had the same concerns:
"Yes, we only have two packers now, and we can only pack out ten ginsengs a day. This efficiency is too low. If we hadn't adopted hunger marketing, our ginseng supply would not be able to keep up."
Lingnantang currently has two flagship products, one is Cordyceps sinensis and the other is Northeastern wild ginseng.
The sorting and packaging of Cordyceps sinensis is very simple and can be done by any aunt in the village, so it is in wide supply.
However, wild ginseng adopts the "reservation system". It is claimed that good ginseng is rare and the supply is hard to come by. Only 10 pieces of wild ginseng can be supplied every day.
Buyers need to first come to Lingnantang Company to make an appointment and register, specify the decades of wild ginseng in advance, and then pay half of the deposit.
Lingnantang Company will then go to the warehouse to take out wild ginseng of the corresponding year according to the pre-order, process and package it, and then notify the buyer to pick up the goods.
The age of each ginseng is different. The price of wild ginseng that is at least 50 years old starts at 1 million yuan, and the price of wild ginseng that is 100 years old has increased to 4 million yuan, but it is still in short supply.
This appointment has been scheduled for a year later, which shows that the demand for wild ginseng among wealthy Chinese in China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and overseas is huge.
Therefore, it is urgent for Lin Sanqi to organize more sources of wild ginseng and for Lingnantang Company to recruit more engineers.
There is also a most important question: where does so much wild ginseng come from? This supply problem must be solved, and no hidden dangers can be left.
