Han Qing has been out for quite some time. He is usually very busy with official duties and cannot stay outside for a long time. Now that he has sent Tang Xin home safely, he has begun to plan his return trip.
Seeing that Han Qing was about to leave, Tang's father and mother began to discuss Tang Xin's marriage. During this period, they observed Han Qing's behavior and were quite satisfied with him. Since this was the case, when Han Qing returned, they should express their gratitude to the old people of the Han family.
Thinking that Han Qing had a house with a yard at the foot of the imperial city in Beijing, Tang's father and mother felt that they should not be stingy, lest the Han family look down on their daughter in the future.
There are three treasures in Northeast China: ginseng, deer antlers and Ula grass. Except for the last one which is a joke, the first two are good things.
There is no need to talk about deer antlers. The Tang family runs a deer farm, so they can have as much of this stuff as they want, right?
With the Greater Khingan Range at its back, the Tang family has collected a lot of ginseng over the years. Tang's father sorted out the family's belongings and put out a huge package. The base of the package was five wild ginsengs that were over a hundred years old. To avoid damaging the roots, these ginsengs were packed in boxes.
Then came the deer antlers. The Tang family didn't play games with their future in-laws and didn't give them flashy things like medicinal wine. Instead, they gave them a pair of real deer antlers from a young male elk. These antlers were not small, and their branches and twigs took up a lot of space.
When Han Qing saw the large package, even though he was well-informed, he was shocked. "Uncle Tang, what are you going to do?"
"We don't have many good things in this small place. These are our specialties. Take them back to nourish your grandfather!" Tang's father said very generously.
Han Qing knew that even though these things were inconspicuous here, they would be sold at high prices as supplements when they returned to the capital, and even if you had money you might not be able to buy them.
Take the old wild ginseng for example. The dealers will cut the ginseng into two pieces, use the good half and combine it with the other half of ginseng of average quality. Together, they become two top-quality wild ginsengs.
"Uncle Tang, this specialty is too expensive. I can't accept it!" Han Qing knew the importance of it. Although the Tang family was generous, as a man, he couldn't be the kind of person who didn't know the rules.
"Take it," Tang's father said with a gloomy face, speaking with the boldness unique to Northeastern people, "If you don't take it, you're looking down on us!"
Han Qing wasn't one to dwell on small details. Seeing Tang's father's seriousness, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll thank you on behalf of Grandpa!"
Su Nian and Chu Beichen went back with Han Qing, because it would take a day and a night to get back to the capital by train, and Han Qing could arrange a plane, which would be much faster and they wouldn't have to suffer on the road.
At this time, the patients who had made appointments in Harbin came one after another. Only then did the neighbors realize that among the Tang family’s guests, there was actually a very good doctor.
People living in small mountain villages often do not have very good medical conditions. They are lucky to have a jack-of-all-trades doctor nearby. Naturally, they cannot expect the doctor's medical skills to be very superb.
Therefore, people often let minor illnesses develop into major ones, and major illnesses become incurable if they are not treated again!
Now that the good doctor has come to the Tang family, people naturally will not miss the opportunity to seek medical treatment. They all bring some of their own sour jujube cakes and pine nuts to seek medical treatment. For a while, the Tang family's house is very lively with people coming and going.
Su Nian's medical skills are very advanced. For some diseases, he can cure them with just one injection without even needing medicine. For some more complicated diseases, even if medicine is needed, it is very simple herbal medicine.
Although the only way for the people to spread information was word of mouth, Su Nian's medical skills were so superb that the news that a miracle doctor had come to the Tang family in Kaoshantun quickly spread throughout the area.
