Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 873 Ancient Shipwreck Gold Coins, What a Lucky Star! (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

Judging from the patients' reactions, the acupuncture techniques taught by Professor Tamagawa are actually quite effective.

He truly deserves to be called a top expert in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

It is highly targeted.

Although medication alone can gradually help the condition improve without acupuncture, combining it with acupuncture can significantly increase the efficiency.

"Have the pharmacy prepare this medicine for the required time and deliver it to the inpatient ward before lunch." Fang Yan handed the written prescription to Du Heng, asking him to make another trip to the pharmacy.

“I’ll go this time,” Li Zhengji stepped forward.

“They all went at noon today, but I haven’t gone yet. Anyway, it’s all done here, so I’ll go and make a trip,” he said to Fang Yan.

They were supposed to be assistants today, but everyone else was running errands while he was the only one watching the whole thing.

Now that I'm the last one, I have to get moving.

Fang Yan didn't stand on ceremony when she heard him say that, and handed him the prescription directly.

Li Zhengji took it and walked out immediately.

Now, patient Zhang Shen only needs to wait until the acupuncture session is over before he can go to complete the admission procedures.

For those speaking in dialect, all that's needed is to remind them of the precautions to take during hospitalization.

"During your hospital stay, someone will come to give you acupuncture treatment every morning. The Chinese medicine prescription contains warming and diuretic ingredients. You need to observe your urination and changes in edema. Remember to tell the nurses at any time and keep a record so that we can make adjustments as needed."

"Regarding your diet, based on your current physical condition, you should avoid high-salt, high-fat, and raw/cold foods to prevent worsening of edema, which could lead to heart failure, or damage to your spleen and stomach, which could worsen cirrhosis. You can eat foods that strengthen the spleen and promote diuresis, such as yam porridge."

"We have a radio in our ward, so you can listen to the radio and play songs when you have nothing to do. Keep a peaceful mind and avoid getting angry, depressed or overthinking, so as to prevent liver qi stagnation from aggravating your condition."

"Finally, your radial artery ligation resulted in the absence of a pulse in your right hand. You need to avoid putting pressure on your right upper limb in daily life and check the temperature and color of your right hand regularly to ensure that collateral circulation is normal."

The patients, Zhang Shen and his wife, nodded repeatedly.

Then Zhang Shen's wife, Zhang Laiyi, took out an antique-looking box.

He handed it to the dialect clinic table and said:

"Dr. Fang, thank you so much for your help today. This is just a small token of our appreciation. It's a collection of ancient coins from a shipwreck that we bought at an auction. They're all gold coins."

Ancient gold coins?
This surprised Fang Yan somewhat.

At this moment, Zhang Shen said:

"Let me tell you. There are gold coins from two shipwrecks here. One of them is from the Spanish fleet that sank in 1715 after encountering a hurricane off the coast of Florida. The ship was carrying a large amount of gold from the American colonies. It began to be discovered in the middle of this century. Some of the gold coins entered the auction market in the 1960s. The gold coins were minted in Mexico City or Potosí Mint, and they are stamped with the coat of arms of King Philip V of Spain. The gold content is over 90%."

"Another batch is from the British Royal Navy's HMS Victory, a merchant ship that sank in the South China Sea in 1782 while carrying gold for the East India Company. It was discovered by a Hong Kong salvage company in the 1970s. The gold coins are 'Mughal gold coins' issued by the British East India Company, which combine Indian and European designs and feature the Taj Mahal on the reverse."

"We acquired this at Christie's headquarters in London in 1974 and 1975. My husband and I are in the metal business and didn't know what to give as a gift, so we had our assistant bring this from home when we came to Beijing this time. We hope Dr. Fang won't mind, as this is quite valuable for collection."

Fang Yan suddenly realized that the couple had put a lot of thought into the gift. They could have just given a red envelope and that would have been enough, but they had their assistant bring this over all the way from Malaysia.

Fang Yan said to them:

"Have a heart."

Zhang Shen said to the dialect:

"Open it and take a look, it's very beautiful."

He put in a lot of effort to get this shot.

Others around were also curious about how many gold coins were inside the box and what they looked like.

Fang Yan picked up the box and found it was quite heavy.

He took it to the front, unlocked the latch on top, and then opened the wooden box that looked like a pirate treasure chest.

Suddenly, I saw the gold coins densely packed inside.

"It's full!" Song Jianzhong, who was watching from the side, exclaimed in surprise.

At least a hundred gold coins were arranged in several rows and stood upright. Although they were not as pure as gold bars, they had antique value and were no less valuable than giving away a few gold bars.

There's also a distinctive sandalwood scent on it, which must be the smell of the box.

The gold coins come in two sizes, which should indicate they came from two different shipwrecks.

He randomly picked two pieces and took a look. He could still see coral crusts on the edges and a golden color on the dirty surface.

There are also various clear patterns on it.

The dean, who was standing nearby, also said:
"Although it is not pure gold, it has great artistic and collectible value."

Fang Yan nodded.

"Thank you, I like it very much," Fang Yan said to Zhang Shen and his wife.

Hearing Fang Yan's words, the embarrassment the couple had felt about going for the ultrasound imaging finally dissipated.

The dialect word is "put things away."

Besides that, there are still two boxes that haven't been opened.

One is a Japanese specialty of Sun Menghong, a warrior of pure love.

There was also a British specialty gift from the twins, Gao Wen.

The other red envelope has already been split equally. However, Song Jianzhong's hasn't been given to him yet.

After chatting for a while, Li Zhengji returned.

Fang Yan checked the time and found it was about time, so she removed the needles and moxibustion box from Zhang Shen's body.

Then they were sent to complete the admission process.

After praising the solution to the problem, the hospital director went to call the leaders of the Ministry of Health and Director Liao.

After everyone left, Fang Yan handed the red envelope she had given to Song Jianzhong.

"Brother Fang... this?" Song Jianzhong was a little embarrassed.

“Everyone gets a share today,” Fang Yan said to him.

“That ultrasound before…” Song Jianzhong was still a little uneasy.

Pretending not to know, Fang Yan asked:

"what happened?"

Song Jianzhong is such a smart man. After hearing Fang Yan's attitude, he immediately understood that Brother Fang was not going to hold a grudge against him.

He glanced at the people around him, then took the money from Fang Yan with both hands and said loudly:
"Thank you, Brother Fang!"

Next, Fang Yan put all the gifts she had given into her consultation desk cabinet, glanced at her watch, and then said to Professor Wang Yuchuan:
"It's almost time, let's go see Mrs. Huo take her medicine."

Wang Yuchuan nodded; he had come here today specifically for this matter.

I just accompanied Fang Yan to see four overseas Chinese businessmen, and in the end, I received several months' salary...

Touching the money in his pocket, Professor Yu Chuan thought that if the medicine he drank later helped, he would break the record along with Fang Yan.

The two of them cured diseases that Western medicine couldn't cure.

At the Ministry of Health's conference in the middle of this year, winning an award is practically guaranteed.

To be fair, dialects are truly a lucky charm.

He can always provide a satisfactory positive response to anything he handles.

He had previously heard that when the Imperial Medical Prescriptions were being restored, a group of people waited to shake hands with Fang Yan to receive good fortune. At the time, he and Cheng Lao thought these people were really superstitious.

After experiencing it once today, he found himself becoming superstitious.

Following the dialect, we arrived at the Traditional Chinese Medicine department floor of the inpatient ward.

The nurse had already prepared all the medicine.

"Were they all prepared according to the new prescription?" Fang Yan asked the nurse to confirm.

"Hmm, here's the pharmacy's signature." The nurse took out the record of decocting the medicine.

Fang Yan glanced at it and nodded.

Then I glanced at the time and asked the nurse to make a time record.

Then he called Professor Wang Yuchuan and the others to go to Ms. Lü's ward together.

"Mrs. Huo."

Fang Yan greeted Ms. Lü as he entered.

Mrs. Huo was listening to her assistant read the newspaper, specifically the report about Fang Yan's previous treatment. When she heard Fang Yan had arrived, she turned around and greeted him with a smile.

"Dr. Fang has arrived."

"It's time to take your medicine," Fang Yan said to her.

Ms. Lü nodded, then took the bowl of medicine and smelled it:
"It doesn't feel as bitter as before?"

Fang Yan nodded:
"Yes, I made a slight change to the prescription."

Ms. Lü nodded, then picked up the bowl and gulped it down.

"Hiccup!" She couldn't help but hiccup, then covered her mouth in embarrassment.

"How does it feel?" Professor Wang Yuchuan asked somewhat nervously.

"Hmm! I feel a warm sensation in my head." After drinking it, she was visibly more refreshed, her eyes were clearer, and her face visibly regained color, becoming rosy all over.

"Ahem..." She cleared her throat.

Then he said to the dialect:

"My throat doesn't feel as dry anymore."

Seeing this, I knew the dialect must have worked.

The situation is roughly as expected.

Fang Yan said to her:
"Please stick out your tongue so I can see it."

PS: I got another 100 monthly votes, so after finishing this chapter, I still owe everyone 46000 words.

There will be more this afternoon!
