Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1058 "Unity is Strength," A Difficult Apprenticeship in Dialect (Two Chapters Combined)
When Fang Yan heard how Qi Qianjin addressed the person on the phone, she knew that this time it was definitely a sure thing.

This involves using one's personal connections.

Soon, Fang Yan heard Qi Qianjin respond into the phone:

"Okay, I understand. I'll come see you as soon as I've finished taking care of things here."

"Then call them and I'll have someone take over the project shortly."

"Okay, take care of yourself." Then Qi Qianjin hung up the phone.

He then addressed Fang Yan and the others:

“Now that you’ve raised it to the highest priority, those embassies will prioritize handling these patent issues unless they have other tasks on their hands.”

"Thank you for your support!" Although it was Fang Yan's first time meeting Comrade Qi Qianjin, she felt that he was very promising. This kind of leader had a background and connections, and also knew what was most important.

There wasn't a single official tone throughout, which is quite good for a dialect.

"Is there anything else you need help with?" Qi Qianjin asked Fang Yan and the others.

It's clear he genuinely intended to come and resolve the issue.

Fang Yan turned his gaze to the others, wanting to see if they had anything else to add.

Professor Yu Chuan noticed Fang Yan's gaze and was the first to react. He immediately said to Qi Qianjin:
"Comrade Qi, I would like to request the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to coordinate a team of legal advisors familiar with the patent laws of various countries to assist in reviewing the registration documents and prevent rejection due to loopholes in the terms."

After hearing Wang Yuchuan speak, Old Cheng followed up with his own words:
"I also request the embassy to provide daily updates on the patent registration progress, especially for key markets such as Japan and the United States. If there are any obstacles, the relevant authorities should be notified immediately to adjust the plan."

Upon hearing their two requests, Qi Qianjin quickly wrote them down and then spoke to Fang Yan:

"Then I need to use the phone."

Fang Yan nodded, indicating that he could use it.

Just as Qi Qianjin picked up the phone, Zeng Luquan said again:
"Comrade Qi, I also have something to add..."

"Please speak!" Qi Qianjin wiped the sweat from his brow.

Zeng Luquan said:
"For core documents that require paper signatures and seals, such as changes to prescription formulations, I apply to use diplomatic pouches or have them delivered by a special person to avoid mailing delays."

Qi Qianjin asked:
"Use the special passage?"

Zeng Luquan said:
"Yes, you said it would be handled as a special case."

Qi Qianjin nodded and said:
"Okay, then I'll remind you."

He then made a few more calls, and after finishing, he looked at the others. At this moment, Old Ren raised his hand and said:

"Let me add one more!"

"..." Qi Qianjin was speechless, but he still nodded.

This is a problem I'm here to solve myself. Either I don't do it at all, or I do it completely. Otherwise, even if I do it, it's not a big deal.

Qi Qianjin knew in his heart how much benefit this matter could bring to the country if it were carried out.

So be it, it may be troublesome! He gritted his teeth and said to Ren Yingqiu:
"Alright, please go ahead, Professor!"

……

Next, Comrade Qi Qianjin made several more phone calls, and at this time, the various loopholes in Fang Yan's matter were filled in.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiwu was able to bring this person over. No one knew who he was, but his network of connections was truly astonishing.

On this weekend, many leaders who are usually hard to see are treated like elders in his family. When he calls, they answer immediately when they hear it's him.

Moreover, the way he addressed me was similar to the way he addressed me on the first phone call.

With Qi Qianjin's support, Fang Yan's plan began to be implemented rapidly.

It went much more smoothly than I had imagined.

Of course, besides Comrade Qi, who was captured by Dean Zhao Xiwu, using his network of connections, the brainstorming of everyone here was also indispensable.

It's impossible for one person to do something so well in such a short time.

This is the power of teamwork.

Moreover, it's the strength of a top-notch team.

However, they were so busy that they missed lunch, and by the time everyone realized it, it was already 2:30 pm.

Fang Yan quickly invited everyone to go eat.

The rest of the family hasn't eaten yet and is waiting for them to eat together. The dishes Huang Huijie ordered at the Yanjing Hotel have been kept warm in the kitchen since they were delivered.

Only the children in the family ate some snacks after they got hungry.

Everyone else was waiting for Fang Yan and the others to finish work, and that wait has lasted until now.

After leaving the study, Fang Yan hurriedly went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

"I'm sorry, I got so busy I forgot!" Fang Yan apologized to her family while serving the dishes.

His father-in-law said to him:
"Hey, it's nothing, it's just a little late. We don't have to work or school on weekends, so it's okay to be a little late. Besides, what you're doing is very important!"

The others did the same, indicating that dialects were not a concern as they were all one family.

Even Director Chen, who arrived sometime today, was waving his hand happily on the side.

Fang Yan then turned to Comrade Qi and apologized:
"Comrade Qi, I'm really sorry, you've gone hungry along with us."

"It's all for work. If we succeed in doing this, we don't care if we eat later or go hungry for a whole day."

"Comrade Qi has a great vision!" Old Hu gave Qi Qianjin a thumbs up from the side.

This Comrade Qi looks to be in his forties, about the same age as Lao Hu.

He played a significant role today, and he was very approachable and easy to talk to.

Once the food was served, Fang Yan invited everyone to take their seats.

Everyone was actually quite hungry at this point, so they didn't stand on ceremony after sitting down at the table. They took the large steamed buns prepared by Yanjing Hotel and started eating them along with the dishes on the table.

Although it had been heated for two hours and some dishes didn't taste as good as when they were fresh, the quality was still there. It's rare to eat such large portions, and everyone was wolfing them down.

Comrade Qi was also surprised that the food at Fang Yan's house was so plentiful, and thought that Fang Yan's family had a chef of state banquet level.

I was too embarrassed to ask, so I just ate in silence.

I secretly glanced at the people sitting here, but I really couldn't tell who looked like a chef.

Finally, our attention turned to Director Chen, who had been very talkative during the meal.

Although they don't look alike, their temperament is very similar.

And he keeps talking about the food served on set, as if it were food specifically prepared for the residents.

Fang Yan had no idea what Qi Qianjin was thinking, otherwise he would definitely have burst out laughing.

Recently, Director Chen's relationship with Sun Jialin seems to have deepened since he became an assistant director. It's clear from Sun Jialin's dialect that she admires strength. As long as her husband has his own career and is recognized by her, she will treat him very well.

I wonder if our relationship will remain this strong after the movie is finished.

Fang Yan then inquired about the current filming progress. As expected, the efficiency of the domestic production team was not driven by pure capital exploitation. They were still striving for perfection, and even the assistant director, Director Chen, did not know when filming would wrap up.

The filming of the Wong Fei-hung movie is almost finished; Lao Hu (Hu Ge) received the notification a few days ago.

The movie, based on a dialect and written by my younger brother, is almost finished filming.

Of course, these films that are almost finished are all intended for release in Hong Kong and other places. Only Director Chan's version is intended for release in mainland China, so it's okay if it's a little slower for the dialect.

The film industry in mainland China is still underdeveloped. My mentor, Lu Donghua, went to Sichuan to film a movie, and it's almost June now, and he still hasn't returned.

I guess they were so engrossed in filming in Leshan that they didn't want to leave.

After finishing their meal, Qi Qianjin asked Fang Yan if they had anything else to do before leaving.

Fang Yan had offered to give him a ride, but Qi Qianjin said he had driven there and didn't need Fang Yan to give him a ride.

So everyone saw him off at the door, watched him get into the car, and then went home.

Next, everyone should organize the format here according to the previous method of registering patents for dialects.

Of course, these relatively fixed and low-skill tasks were directly handed over to the young people.

The elderly professors were exhausted by now, so Fang Yan told them to go to the main hall next door for tea and snacks, and even asked his wife to bring out all the tea leaves in the house and share them with the old men.

Since Fangyan didn't drink much tea anyway, and these are all good tea leaves, we might as well give them to those who like to drink tea.

As for the students who were busy today, Fang Yan also prepared some food for them, which were traditional Chinese medicine snacks that he learned to make from Deng Tietao.

After my family tried it, they all had a pretty good reaction.

The afternoon was also spent in a busy atmosphere.

At 6:30 p.m., Fang Yan and his team came out of the study. They had compiled all the recipes to be registered into a booklet and categorized them according to different regions.

Lao Hu made a ranking based on commercial value, and the dialect group then made a classification hierarchy based on that.

First tier: Japan itself, this is a targeted blockade of Tsumura's stronghold, with simultaneous trademark registrations as a coordinated effort.

The main strategy is to first attack a group of people. Since they have disgusted Fang Yan and his group, they will not let their main base be peaceful.

The second tier: the United States and Europe. This is a market with high payment capacity, where patent enforcement profits are maximized. This is the main direction for making money this time.

The third tier consists of other countries with patent laws, such as South Korea and Canada, primarily aimed at preventing the relocation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) products.

This first wave will use 115 core prescriptions and 465 variant combinations, with the cooperation of the embassy, ​​to complete the first round of patent coverage in Japan, the United States and Europe within 72 hours, systematically blocking Tsumura's international plagiarism path.

Meanwhile, the embassy provides daily updates on registration progress, especially in the Japanese and American markets, and any obstructed prescriptions are automatically prioritized.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' legal advisory team reviewed the terms to prevent rejection due to formatting loopholes.

Dean Zhao Xiwu, holding the materials compiled by Fang Yan and his team, skipped dinner and went straight to submit the documents.

Seeing this, Fang Yan decided to have Sophia deliver the food again, and he would also cook a meal for everyone.

After all, his cooking skills are a must-have at home on weekends.

After preparing dinner, Zhao Xiwu and Sophia should be back around that time.

Seeing that Fang Yan had been busy all day and still had to cook dinner, everyone actually felt a little sorry for her.

However, they don't prepare any dishes in the dialect; everything is already prepared, so all you need to do is turn on the stove.

Preparing ingredients and making porridge in the kitchen is actually the most tiring part; cooking is really just a test of skill.

Speaking in dialect is just a way to showcase one's skills.

I had planned to cook this morning, but I didn't cook it after preparing the ingredients. Now I can cook it as soon as I enter the kitchen.

I had considered the guests I was hosting today beforehand, and I thought about the menu. The dishes I prepared were mainly Sichuan cuisine, just with the flavors slightly milder. Since we had Huaiyang cuisine for lunch, having Sichuan food for dinner would give everyone a change of pace.

In May, the variety of vegetables in the market gradually increased.

The variety of dishes that can be made has also increased.

The bamboo shoots, young ginger, and broad beans prepared in the morning were arranged on a porcelain plate. These were all the work of my eldest sister and sister-in-law. Although their cooking skills haven't improved yet, their knife skills have certainly grown a lot.

Knowing that Fang Yan was going to cook, everyone who had tasted his cooking rushed to the kitchen and began to watch him. As the person everyone recognized as having the best cooking skills, Fang Yan was someone everyone wanted to learn a trick from.

However, once the locals learned that Fang Yan was going to cook Sichuan cuisine, they started keeping an eye on him.

Ren Yingqiu and Fang Yaozhong looked at each other from the left and right, wanting to see if Fang Yan's pronunciation was authentic.

Then they saw one delicious Sichuan dish after another being prepared in the local dialect right in front of them.

The taste was so irresistible that their mouths watered incessantly.

Later, Fang Yan asked them to try the dishes, and the two of them quickly grabbed chopsticks and bowls and began to try each dish one by one.

The result was that the more they ate, the more they craved it, and they even made everyone else crave it too.

Fortunately, after Fang Yan finished making the last dish, Sophia returned with Dean Zhao Xiwu.

He went into the kitchen and addressed the crowd:

"It's already been submitted. Now it depends on the cooperation of their various departments. We've done everything we can, and now we're just waiting for their good news."

After saying that, he felt a great sense of relief. This weekend was a hundred times more tiring than working.

He's back, so everyone can finally eat.

He used a local dialect to urge everyone to quickly serve the dishes.

The crowd, who had been craving it for a long time, all came over to make a move.

Plates of Sichuan dishes were brought into the main hall.

Zhao Xiwu came to the table and saw the dishes, which seemed even more abundant than those at the Yanjing Hotel that morning.

When the dialect announced that dinner was served, everyone started eating.

Director Chen picked up a peanut coated in caramel coloring, and made a crisp "crunch" sound as he bit down. Then, the tenderness of the diced meat and the numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns exploded on his tongue.

He didn't have time to speak and quickly stuffed another piece of chicken into his mouth, but was choked by the sudden burst of dried chili peppers, which made Sun Jialin next to him laugh out loud.

Ren Yingqiu scooped up a spoonful of tofu and put it in his mouth. After chewing it a couple of times, he was so numb that he kept swallowing his saliva, but he couldn't help but scoop up another spoonful.

"These peppercorns are from Hanyuan!" He pointed to the finely crushed green peppercorns in the bowl, his lips still slightly numb as he spoke, "They're even more potent than the ones my wife makes!"

Zhao Xiwu took a bite. The tofu melted in his mouth, and the aroma of the minced meat mixed with the salty and savory flavor of the fermented bean paste made him gasp for breath, but he couldn't bear to put down his spoon.

The others were in similar situations; Fang Yaozhong was focused on the shredded pork with garlic sauce, while his father-in-law had a particular fondness for the salt-fried pork.

Everyone can find a dish they like.

Rice was the main dish for dinner tonight, but the northerners also had a second bowl.

The main thing is that the food cooked in the local dialect tastes pretty good and goes well with rice.

Secondly, after a busy day, everyone worked together to accomplish what seemed like a difficult task, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Anyway, I did my best today.

After dinner, everyone went home one after another. Fang Yan and Lao Hu didn't sit idle either. They drove to send everyone back home. Anyway, it wasn't far, and they could send several people back in one trip.

After dropping people off and returning home, the courtyard finally felt a little quieter.

Why do I say "slightly"? Because Director Chen and his wife haven't left yet; they're still chatting at home. They plan to go directly to the school and the studio tomorrow.

The main reason was to take my father and father-in-law, who speak dialects, to school.

Fang Yan and Lao Hu were both exhausted after a long day and didn't want to move at all.

After washing up, Lao Hu rested at Fang Yan's house. Fang Yan chatted with Director Chen for a while in the main hall before going to sleep as well.

After lying down, Fang Yan didn't even need to use Chen Tuan's sleeping technique; he was so tired that he fell asleep immediately.

That night, Fang Yan had a dream in which they successfully registered the intellectual property rights of traditional Chinese medicine. The Japanese were furious and came to them, saying that they had also made contributions and that they should also be given a share of the market.

Then an expert came forward and said that for the sake of the current friendship between the two sides, it was possible to agree to this.

Then Fang Yan took the pistol that the Situ family had given him last time, shoved the barrel into his mouth, and smashed his teeth one by one.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, the chicken suddenly crowed!
The crowing of a rooster jolted Fang Yan awake, and he sat bolt upright in bed.

I finally had a dream, but I was woken up by a rooster crowing at the crucial moment.

Fang Yan rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache. He glanced at his watch and realized he had overslept again today.

Fang Yan got dressed and prepared to go outside for her morning exercise. Zhu Lin also got up at this time.

Fang Yan asked her:
"By the way, do we still have ginseng at home?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Zhu Lin asked curiously.

He said in dialect:

"I've been overusing my brain and thinking too much lately. Last night I dreamt that I was planning to make some ginseng chicken soup."

Upon hearing the dialect, Zhu Lin immediately said:
"Then I'll go ask Director Feng from the neighborhood office for help later. She's really good at picking chickens."

He pointed outside in dialect:
"We have some at home."

As a result, Zhu Lin shook his head repeatedly:

"That chicken is so nice. It crows at this time every day. Even if we don't eat it, we can wait for it to have some chicks with the mother hen."

The dialect serves as a reminder:
"Wife, chickens lay eggs..."

Zhu Lin laughed:

"Haha, but we can't live without it!"

Since my wife has spoken, I can't retaliate against her dialect; I can only shake my head.

"Well, alright... consider it lucky, let's spare its life for now."

……

After morning exercise, Fang Yan began his routine inspection.

There are no new staff members being brought in; the overseas Chinese businesspeople here are all familiar faces.

Moreover, the number of people is decreasing day by day because many people have recovered and been discharged from the hospital.

Most of these people have a good physical constitution and are well-nourished, so they recover much faster than the average person.

In traditional Chinese medicine, this type of patient is called a typical case of "four excesses":

Excessive essence (kidney essence is well stored and preserved)

Abundant Qi (abundant ancestral Qi circulation)

The spirit is abundant (emotions are balanced and peaceful).

The grain is plentiful (the essence of water and grain is abundant).

This special condition puts the overseas Chinese business community in a favorable process described in the "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" as "those who achieve harmony of Yin and Yang will surely heal themselves." With the addition of precise medication, this creates a so-called "snowball effect of recovery."

They also believed that this was due to the high level of medical skill in the dialect.

After checking the rooms in Fangyan's area, they went to check on Ma Wenying's area as well.

Ms. Ma's condition has improved even faster since she was allowed to go out.

Apart from his hairstyle, which still makes him look like a convict, there's nothing else wrong with him.

However, her problem is that she can't go back to Macau; if she does, she'll definitely have a relapse.

He is currently in a healthy patient state.

It's similar to Schrödinger's cat.

Here she is a normal person, but at her home in Haojiang she is mentally ill.

Fang Yan then went to school, and during this time he was doing an internship and learned some things, but for Fang Yan, this internship was not as good as having some difficult and complicated diseases to take a look at.

It's at least somewhat challenging.

Now, in order to improve himself during his internship, he's starting to think of as many different treatment methods for the same disease as possible.

It's like a lazy, academically gifted student who, even knowing the solution to a problem, isn't satisfied and wants to develop simpler and faster algorithms. That's the state that Fangyan is in now.

For example, there was an old printing factory worker named Lin Weiguo.

I am 53 years old this year. I have had recurring swelling, pain and stiffness in both wrists and knees for 3 years. The condition has worsened and has been accompanied by soreness and weakness in my lower back and knees for 1 month. I went to a Western medicine clinic and was diagnosed with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

When they arrived at Fangyan's place, their apprentice teacher was Professor Fei Bomin, a successor of the Menghe School of Medicine.

The patient's tongue coating was yellow and greasy like a paste, and his pulse was wiry, slippery, and rapid, indicating that the condition was caused by damp-heat adhering to the meridians.

The joints were red, swollen, and hot, indicating that damp heat had transformed into toxins and flowed into the joints. This method, which follows the approach of Master Ye Tianshi, is that "obstruction of the arthritis is either due to wind or dampness," and utilizes the Menghe School's methods of promoting qi circulation, resolving dampness and turbidity, and clearing heat from the meridians.

Fang Yan was brainstorming on his own.

Drawing on the experience of Professor Deng, this prescription from the Lingnan School of Traditional Chinese Medicine uses two herbs, Xi Huangcao and Jigucao, to clear heat and promote diuresis. It is combined with 30 grams of fresh reed rhizome and 20 grams of winter melon seeds. These herbs, which are sweet and cold in nature, are used to clear heat and dampness without harming the body's vital energy. For patients with soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, 15 grams of Morinda officinalis are added to achieve the effect of "tonifying by unblocking".

Taking the idea of ​​Artemisia annua and turtle shell soup, Artemisia annua is added later to retain its volatile components, while turtle shell is decocted for three hours until the gelatinous substance dissolves. 10 grams of loofah sponge is added as a supplement, which not only clears away the latent heat in the Yin aspect, but also uses its network structure to dredge the meridians.

Or a modified version of the aconite decoction from the Fire God School.

We boldly adopted a modified version of Aconitum carmichaelii decoction, increasing the dosage of processed Aconitum carmichaelii from 6 grams to 9 grams, adding 30 grams of honey to counteract its toxicity, and adding 3 grams of cinnamon to guide the fire back to its source; at the same time, we added 6 grams of Phellodendron bark, taking the method of "using both cold and heat" to both counteract the dryness of Aconitum carmichaelii and clear the heat in the joints.

Alternatively, use Si Ni Tang as a base, with aconite and dried ginger to warm and invigorate the primordial yang, combined with 30 grams of coix seed and 20 grams of Smilax glabra, to use yang medicine to dispel yin dampness, which is in line with the essence of the Fire God School of thought, "When the sun shines brightly, the gloom will naturally dissipate."

Even methods used to attack evil factions are acceptable.

Following the example of Zhang Zihe, this formula uses the "Saliva-Controlling Pill" as a guide, and combines it with Euphorbia kansui, Euphorbia pekinensis, and Sinapis alba to strongly expel water. Take 0.5 grams on an empty stomach in the morning, and combine it with Fangji Huangqi Decoction to strengthen the body's vital energy. This approach combines attack and tonification, and uses insect-based remedies to expel pathogens. Scorpion, centipede, and earthworm are ground into powder and taken with water, 1.5 grams per dose. By utilizing the agile nature of insects, this formula penetrates to the bone, expels wind, and directly targets the disease site.

Now, people use this to train their brains to speak dialects.

Try to make the internship interesting.

But today was different. As soon as they arrived at the hospital, they told Fang Yan that there was a consultation today and invited him to attend.

PS: The basic chapter of 6000 words has been updated.

There will be an extra chapter later.
(End of this chapter)
