Chapter 115 Preparing to Go to Qinghai for Purchasing
Seeing the smug looks on Section Chief Kong and Lin Sanqi's faces, Deputy Section Chief Wu felt unhappy.
Others may not know, but how could he not know? Since the establishment of Kuanjie Chinese Medicine Hospital, when has there ever been a case where the promotion procedures could be completed in just one morning?
If this wasn't a behind-the-scenes operation, he could have performed a handstand and eaten shit.
But now the matter is done and the official document has been issued. Even if the hospital is wrong, it will not admit it. But when Deputy Section Chief Wu's first plan failed, he thought of another one, trying to make things difficult for this backdoor guy.
So he put on a stern face and said in a cold voice, as if he were a department leader:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi, now that you've taken on the responsibility of leading the Northwest Group and serving as an officer of our hospital, you should set an example as a leader, don't you agree?"
Lin Sanqi was still distributing candy and responded casually, "Ah, right, right!"
"Okay, Old Kong, due to Comrade Luo Wenyuan's accident last month, the acquisition of Mahuajiao has not been completed, which has caused a huge gap in clinical use. Now that Comrade Lin Sanqi has replaced him, should we hurry to the northwest?"
Deputy Section Chief Wu thought he had turned the tables on Section Chief Kong and Lin Sanqi.
A gloating expression appeared on the faces of Yang Xiaoqing, Li Zexu and others:
"Hey, Secretary Lin, now is the time to test you. Looks like you have to go to Qinghai~~~"
"The Northwest is in trouble. There are wolves in the Northwest. Director Lin, please be careful~~~"
"But after a few months, there was another unidentified corpse on the grassland~~~~"
Lin Sanqi didn't care for his colleagues' sarcasm and ridicule. As the saying goes, if you want to wear the crown, you must first bear its weight. Since he was taking food from so many veteran employees, he was naturally prepared for some hardship.
What's more, Qinghai, it's July now, which happens to be the day when the Cordyceps sinensis picking ends and the market goes off. He certainly won't miss such a good opportunity to make a fortune. Now, letting him go on a business trip to Qinghai is like a tailor-made thing for him.
Section Chief Kong was equally relieved after hearing this. After all, Dean Shen had already taught him how to exploit the loophole, so the danger was gone. So he asked pretentiously:
"Comrade Lin Sanqi, the organization is sending you to Qinghai to purchase medicine. Tell everyone if you are afraid or not."
Lin Sanqi stood up straight and shouted seriously:
"Chief, I'm not afraid. Being a cadre means enduring hardship first and enjoying comfort later. I accept this test."
Deputy Section Chief Wu shook his head upon hearing this: "He's really a newborn calf who's not afraid of a tiger."
But what I was thinking was: This fool is in a hurry to die, so let him do it.
Yang Xiaoqing also rolled his eyes: "You kid really want to be promoted without caring about your life."
Lin Sanqi thought, should I tell you that Dean Shen has arranged everything for me and I just need to go on a trip?
Section Chief Kong was very satisfied with Lin Sanqi's acting skills, and then he made the final decision:
"Okay, then get ready. We'll be leaving for Qinghai in a week. This time, we'll not only be purchasing wild Streptomyces macrophylla, but also Tangut rhubarb. Since this is your first time, it's best to find a helper..."
Section Chief Kong glanced at the faces of everyone in the office one by one and found that everyone lowered their heads.
Nonsense, if you can go to the Northwest, who would be willing to give up the promotion position?
Of course, Lin Sanqi didn't want to go on a business trip with a burden. He wanted to go to the northwest for another purpose and wanted to go alone.
"Chief Kong, since I'm already a leading cadre, no matter what lies ahead, I'm willing to go through it alone and not trouble other colleagues."
Everyone in the office breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
When Section Chief Kong heard this, he jumped down from the table in fear:
"Okay, Comrade Lin Sanqi is aware of this. Then go and prepare. So, go to the pharmacy department first in the next few days. Since you're going to purchase herbs, you need to know the classification and quality of the herbs. Don't buy inferior herbs, because that will only harm the patients."
Medicinal materials are divided into good and bad grades. Different grades have different prices and different therapeutic effects. This is the basic skill of purchasing personnel.
As for whether you will buy fake medicine, you can rest assured in the 1950s. Everyone is a public company, and there will definitely be no confusion between fake and real medicine. Unlike decades later, those unscrupulous people who deal in Chinese medicinal materials do bad things.
Pharmacy Department:
Zhou Mingzhe was directing the employees to prepare Chinese medicine when he saw Lin Sanqi peeking at the door.
"Hey, isn't this Director Lin? Haha, how come you have time to come to the pharmacy to supervise the work?"
The rumor that the youngest son of the Lin family was promoted has spread throughout the entire hospital. Promotion means entering the ruling class, which is a major event that everyone is paying attention to.
Lin Sanqi smiled a little embarrassedly:
"Uncle Zhou, please don't cancel me. Come on, today is my big day, please give everyone some candy."
After saying that, Lin Sanqi took out a bag of loose fruit candies, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the pharmacy department:
Kong Sumin, the little magpie from the pharmacy department, was the first to jump out, her eyes wide open as she said:
"This big bag of sugar must be at least 5 kilograms, right? My family can't even buy a kilogram of sugar in a year. Wow, cadres are really different."
Fu Muxiang also came over at this time and quietly pulled the corner of Lin Sanqi's clothes, and reminded him softly:
"Little brother, there are only 12 people in our pharmacy department. It would be enough if you could give each of them two pills. Why did you take out so many candies?"
Well, Mrs. Lin is feeling sorry for her brother-in-law's candy coupons and money.
Lin Sanqi thought: "Giving each person two candies? How can we win people's hearts?"
He wanted to purchase Chinese medicinal materials in 1959 and sell them in modern society. The most important department he had to deal with was the pharmacy department. After all, the instructions on what kind of medicinal materials to purchase and how much quantity were given by the pharmacy department.
As long as everyone in the pharmacy department is on the same page with Lin Sanqi, the pharmacy department will be his best helper in the future.
Of course, such a core department must be treated with special attention. Giving it some sugar is no big deal. There will be a lot of sugar-coated bullets fired at the pharmacy department in the future.
Of course, winning people over shouldn't be done blatantly; it's best to be subtle and unobtrusive...
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I know what I'm doing. I'm sending you candies not only to celebrate my transition to a full-time position, but also to ask you teachers about Chinese medicinal herbs. This is considered a gift for my apprenticeship."
Section Chief Zhou knew that Lin Sanqi was going to the northwest, and he understood it.
"Xiao Qi, which medicinal herbs did your purchasing department assign you to be responsible for this time?"
Lin Sanqi pretended to take out a notebook from his backpack:
"Let me check my notes. They're Ganoderma lucidum and Rhubarb tangutica, two medicinal herbs. We need to go to Qinghai."
Kong Sumin was just eating candy and was shocked when she heard:
"Hey, Lin Sanqi, you're quite courageous. You dare to go to Qinghai? Last month, a buyer from your department was eaten by wolves in Qinghai. This place is too dangerous."
When the other people in the pharmacy department heard this, their envy, jealousy and hatred immediately disappeared, and they looked at Lin Sanqi with some pity.
The youngest son of the Lin family will not only enjoy his official position for one month, and then the position will be vacant next month, right?
Lin Sanqi didn't care and said firmly:
"The people are still suffering. If we, our buyers, stop purchasing medicinal materials because we are afraid of death, who will protect the lives and health of the people? As the old saying goes, 'You can't get a tiger cub without entering the tiger's den.' You can't stop just because I'm afraid."
“Okay~~~”
After hearing this, everyone in the pharmacy department applauded, obviously moved by Lin Sanqi's deception.
Lin Sanqi thought: People in this era are so lovely and pure, they actually believe such empty and pretentious words?
Section Chief Zhou chuckled when he heard this. He was a participant in the banquet last night, so he naturally knew Dean Shen's back-up plan. How could this trip be dangerous? It was true that the journey was difficult.
"Ganoderma lucidum and Rhubarb tanguticum, right? Aucklandia lappa, bring these two herbs here. Today, we'll teach Comrade Xiaoqi how to identify herbs."
Upon hearing this, Fu Muxiang quickly took out two herbal specimens from the medicine cabinet and placed them on the table. Section Chief Zhou began to explain in detail:
"Comrade Xiaoqi, let's talk about this Glehnia littoralis first. It's a plant from the Gentianaceae family that grows at altitudes above 2,000 meters, so it's generally most abundant on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
The herbs are harvested in spring and autumn, cleaned of mud and sand, and sun-dried to soften them. They are then piled up to "sweat" until the surface turns reddish-yellow or grayish-yellow, and then spread out to dry. Some farmers also rub off the black skin while fresh before sun-drying.
After sun-drying, the outer skin of the plant is yellow-brown, grayish-yellow, or tan, rough, and has twisted longitudinal or reticular striations. The cut surface is yellow or brownish-yellow in the cortex, and the wood is yellow, sometimes with a rotten center. It has a distinctive aroma and a bitter, slightly astringent taste.
The main functions are to dispel rheumatism, clear away damp-heat, stop pain, and reduce fever. It is used for rheumatic pain, hemiplegia caused by stroke, muscle spasms, joint pain, damp-heat jaundice, hot flashes due to bone steaming, and fever caused by malnutrition in children.
Wild safflower is generally divided into three grades. The first-grade dry goods often have several small roots gathered and intertwined, mostly twisted to the right, some twisted to the left, and the small roots at the bottom gradually merge. The cross section often has a rotten hollow, no reed head, and the diameter of the reed bottom is greater than 10 mm.
If it is second-class, the diameter of the reed is only 3-10 mm. If it is third-class, it is less than 3 mm. We don't want this kind of mahua ginseng, it is too bad.
These two are first-class and second-class, look at the difference."
Lin Sanqi listened, took notes, and nodded continuously.
"Also, as a buyer, you need to inspect the quality of the medicinal materials on site. For example, the purchase requirements for Streptomyces macrophylla are that the moisture content must not exceed 9%, the total ash content must not exceed 8%, and the acid-insoluble ash content must not exceed 3%. You must remember these data."
Lin Sanqi put down his notebook and said embarrassedly:
"Uncle Zhou, could you lend me these two specimens first? I'll be able to compare them with the ones I purchase when I go to Qinghai to avoid being cheated."
"Ha, you're quite clever, kid. Okay, take it. It's a good thing you're being cautious. Now, let me tell you how to identify this Tangut rhubarb..."
