One thing that is better about the county town than the farm is that there are electric wires and electric lights.
Sheng Kangning couldn't sleep, so he took out the medical record from his luggage and continued to read it.
This watching lasted more than two hours.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already daybreak outside.
Sheng Kangning didn't have a watch and didn't know the exact time. He was worried that he would oversleep and delay Brother Chu and the others' work, so he got up quickly and hurried to the bathroom to wash up.
As soon as I pushed the door open from the room, I saw Brother Chu coming upstairs.
Brother Chu changed his clothes. He was no longer wearing a military uniform, but a casual dress. He was still as tall and straight as a pine tree.
Seeing Sheng Kangning, Chu Nanzhou smiled: "Good morning!"
"Brother Chu, good morning!"
Then Zhou Shen's voice came from downstairs: "Boss, is Kang Ning up yet?"
Chu Nanzhou did not respond, but smiled and said to Sheng Kangning gently:
"No hurry, come down after you've packed up."
Sheng Kangning knew that he had gotten up late, and nodded in annoyance:
"Brother Chu, I'll be there soon!"
After breakfast, Chu Nanzhou took Duan Dongcheng and Zhou Shen out.
Only Tang Shigang and Sheng Kangning were left in the guesthouse.
Tang Shigang wanted to ask Sheng Kangning for some knowledge on Chinese medicine, but he thought of what Zhou Shen said last night.
After thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
They each went back to their rooms.
What Tang Shigang didn't expect was that a few minutes later, Sheng Kangning stood outside his room and asked him, "Doctor Tang, I want to go to the county town, do you want to go?"
Tang Shigang asked: "Do you want to go shopping?"
The thing Tang Shigang least wanted to do was to go shopping with the two women in his family, one was his mother and the other was his sister.
Both mother and daughter are good at shopping.
The kind that can go out in the morning and come home at four or five in the afternoon.
After Tang Shigang accompanied her for a stroll once, he no longer wanted to go out with his mother and sister.
Sheng Kangning shook his head:
"I'm not going shopping. I just want to look around and see if there's any place selling medicinal herbs here."
Before getting off the train, Brother Chu gave her the prescription for the medicine that Aunt Fu Yunhua was taking.
But until now, Sheng Kangning has not had the opportunity to prepare all the medicinal materials.
The two times that Sheng Kangning went out to collect herbs, he only found three herbs, which was not enough at all.
When Tang Shigang heard that Sheng Kangning was going to look at medicinal herbs, he also became interested and said to Sheng Kangning:
"Wait for me!"
Before the two men came out of the guesthouse, Tang Shigang specifically asked the waiter at the guesthouse and learned that there was an old Chinese doctor in the east of the county town who had medicinal herbs at home.
After asking for the old Chinese doctor's home address, Tang Shigang went out with Sheng Kangning.
The county town is not big and it only takes two hours to go back and forth.
The old Chinese doctor does have some medicinal herbs at home, just a few kinds, which he grew himself in the backyard.
Sheng Kangning bought some back.
At noon, when Duan Dongcheng drove back to pick up Tang Shigang and Sheng Kangning, the two were still processing medicinal materials.
Went to the state-owned restaurant in the county.
It was dinner time, and there were many people in the restaurant. The six tables in the lobby were fully occupied.
I looked around, but didn't see Chu Nanzhou and Zhou Shen.
Sheng Kangning asked: "Where are Brother Chu and the others?"
Duan Dongcheng pointed to the stairs: "It's upstairs."
Duan Dongcheng led Sheng Kangning and Tang Shigang upstairs and into a small room.
When he entered, Chu Nanzhou just handed the menu to the waiter.
When he saw Sheng Kangning, Chu Nanzhou smiled and waved:
"Corning, come sit over here!"
Sheng Kangning saw that there was an empty seat next to Chu Nanzhou.
Zhou Shen was sitting near the door. He stood up and moved his chair to let Sheng Kangning pass by.
Chu Nanzhou naturally helped the little girl pull out the chair:
"What did you do this morning?"
Sheng Kangning sat down and said, "I went to an old Chinese doctor's house and bought some medicinal herbs."
Chu Nanzhou glanced at Tang Shigang and asked:
“Did you buy a lot?”
Sheng Kangning shook his head and told the old Chinese doctor that there were only a few kinds of medicine at home.
Chu Nanzhou lowered his head and whispered something in Sheng Kangning's ear. The two looked at each other and laughed. Then Chu Nanzhou told Sheng Kangning about the dishes they had just ordered and asked Sheng Kangning what else he wanted to eat.
Sheng Kangning pursed his lips, shook his head and said:
"That's enough!"
Chu Nanzhou ordered braised pork, stir-fried pork with garlic moss, scrambled eggs with green peppers, a steamed fish, and a bowl of fermented glutinous rice and egg soup.
Each man gets five steamed buns.
Asked for a portion of rice for Sheng Kangning.
Sheng Kangning likes to eat fish, and he likes to drink fermented glutinous rice and egg soup even more.
The atmosphere between the two seemed to be a small world of their own.
When Zhou Shen saw this, he felt very happy.
If the boss works harder, he will be able to get out of being single.
We were having dinner in a small private room, and since we were all family, there was no need to be cautious about what we said.
Duan Dongcheng said, "Lao Hei has confirmed that those people will sell some of the goods tonight, but not at Lao Hei's place. They will trade in an abandoned kiln factory east of the county town. That place is Yang Laoqi's territory."
Chu Nanzhou bent his fingers, tapped lightly on the table a few times, and asked:
"How does Yang Laoqi behave?"
"I dealt with him two years ago. Yang Laoqi used to be a worker in a timber factory. Later, he got into a fight with someone over a woman and intentionally injured someone. He was sentenced to seven years in prison. He behaved well in prison and was given a two-year reduction in sentence. He was released after only five years in prison. Yang Laoqi can drive. Now he drives a truck for a living and runs a kiln factory business in secret. This man has his own way of doing things and is loyal. I think he doesn't know that the drugs in these people's hands are fake!"
