Double-Cut During the War of Resistance: My Wife Came from 1937

Chapter 12 A medicine more precious than gold is surprisingly cheap.

"Hongwei, you're amazing!"

Xia Weiwei asked excitedly, "Where can we buy this penicillin?"

"Just buy it online!"

Ma Hongwei pointed to his phone and said to Xia Weiwei, "This is an online shopping platform. If you place an order now, the delivery person will bring it to your door tomorrow."

"However, I live in a rural area, and he only delivered it to the village entrance. I'll have to pick it up tomorrow."

"In modern society, whether it's restaurant food or various goods, you can order and pay directly from your mobile phone, and the delivery person will bring it to you."

Although penicillin is cheaper on Pinduoduo, costing only 700 yuan for 25 kg, the goods sold directly by JD.com are guaranteed.

These medicines are for our revolutionary predecessors, so we can't buy counterfeit or substandard products. It's okay if they're a little more expensive!

Moreover, there's no guarantee that goods on Pinduoduo will arrive the day after tomorrow.

With only 40 hours left before the time travel, and the goods still not delivered, does that mean we have to keep waiting?

In another timeline, obtaining the medicine a day earlier would save countless revolutionary fighters sooner.

In the past, most soldiers did not die from enemy gunfire, but from a lack of adequate medical treatment.

"Can it be delivered tomorrow?"

Xia Weiwei exclaimed excitedly, "That's wonderful! Life in the future will be so convenient!"

"Let's order 200 boxes to start!"

Ma Hongwei said, "200 boxes, at 5000 units per wounded soldier, would be enough for 320 million wounded soldiers."

"That way we can save some money. Let's see if there's anything else we need to buy?"

"OK."

Xia Weiwei replied, "Actually, our troops only number in the tens of thousands right now, so we don't need that many medicines at all."

"It's always better to be prepared!"

After Ma Hongwei finished speaking, he started placing the order.

The items included 100 boxes of potassium penicillin and 100 boxes of sodium penicillin, costing 5840 yuan.

"Since penicillin is used in veterinary medicine, sulfonamides should be used as well, right?"

With that in mind, Ma Hongwei searched for sulfonamides on JD.com.

Sure enough, he also found "30% sulfamethoxypyrimidine sodium soluble powder" on JD.com.

One 100-gram pack costs 11.7 yuan.

"Weiwei, I found sulfonamide. It costs 11.7 yuan for 100 grams."

Ma Hongwei handed his phone to Xia Weiwei and asked, "How about we order 500 bags of this sulfonamide first?"

Xia Weiwei said, "Now that we have penicillin, we don't need to spend money to buy sulfonamides anymore, right?"

She trusted penicillin more than sulfonamides.

Because sulfonamides are drugs that will be phased out in the future.

"Didn't you just say you were supplying drugs to the organization and then selling them?"

Ma Hongwei said, "This is what I'm thinking: we can keep the penicillin for our own use, while the sulfonamides can be sold externally!"

"Firstly, in 37, sulfonamides were the main products on the market, while penicillin was still in the laboratory research stage. Others had not used it and might not necessarily approve of it."

"Secondly, penicillin can cause allergies, and it is not suitable for some wounded soldiers. A skin test must be performed, otherwise it may endanger their lives."

"If penicillin cannot be used, but sulfonamides are available, treatment can still be administered."

Upon hearing this, Xia Weiwei also felt that it made a lot of sense.

She said to Ma Hongwei, "In that case, you should buy it!"

"good!"

Ma Hongwei placed another order for 500 bags of sulfonamide, costing 5850 yuan.

He also bought a batch of saline solution and glass syringes.

Penicillin must be diluted with physiological saline before being injected with a syringe, so this is also necessary.

Disposable syringes are too extravagant for them; they don't have enough space to store many of them.

On the contrary, glass syringes can be reused repeatedly and can be sterilized by boiling in water.

Ma Hongwei heard from his mother that in the past, the village clinic used glass syringes.

In addition, he bought a printer and several packs of A4 paper, which he could use to print out some necessary information.

Ma Hongwei didn't want to replicate this kind of thing outside.

Not only are the prices higher outside, but they also don't keep things confidential.

If he keeps copying various past documents every day, it might arouse suspicion from others.

"Walkie-talkies and repeaters are also essential."

Ma Hongwei searched for repeater stations and found that those with a range of 50 kilometers were priced at over 3700 yuan.

He gritted his teeth and bought three 50km backpack repeaters.

Subsequently, they purchased 18 more walkie-talkies.

"After buying so much stuff, my wallet is completely empty!"

Ma Hongwei sighed softly.

He was just from a small town, and he relied on this supply and marketing cooperative to sell some goods.

In addition, he also writes some online novels on the side, but because they are so unsuccessful, he can only earn a little bit of attendance bonus.

In the countryside, this amount of money is enough, but when something like this happens, his money is not enough.

Although his mother still had money deposited at the credit union, she needed her ID card to withdraw any of it.

Now, Ma Hongwei's mother is at her eldest sister's house taking care of her during her postpartum period. If she wants to get her ID card, she has to drive one or two hours to the prefecture-level city.

Ma Hongwei thought to himself, "I still have credit limits on my Jiebei and Jintiao accounts. If I need more money, I'll borrow some from the platform for now!"

After purchasing the items, Ma Hongwei asked, "Weiwei, the water's boiled. Would you like to take a shower?"

"Washing it is fine too!"

Xia Weiwei nodded.

The Taihang Mountains are one of the most water-scarce regions in my country, where even drinking water for people and livestock is extremely difficult, and naturally there is not much water available for bathing.

Xia Weiwei thought it would be fine to take a shower here.

"Let me explain it to you!"

Ma Hongwei stood up and led the other person to the restroom.

"This is the power switch. For safety, be sure to turn it off!"

Ma Hongwei explained in detail: "The left side is hot water, and the right side is cold water. You can start spraying water by gently lifting the shower head. The water is cold at first, so you can let it run for a while."

"Then this is shampoo, specifically for washing hair, and that's shower gel, for washing the body. This door can be locked from the inside, so you don't have to worry about anyone coming in."

"Okay, I understand."

Xia Weiwei smiled and nodded.

She still trusted Ma Hongwei.

The other person seemed like a good person, not the kind of evil person who would do bad things.

"Bang!"

The door closed, and the sound of water hitting the floor could be heard from inside.

Ma Hongwei shook his head and walked towards the sofa.

For him, who had never been in a relationship, this was the first time he had ever been alone in a room with a woman.

However, Ma Hongwei didn't have too many thoughts about it.

In terms of seniority, the other party is older than his grandmother.

His grandmother was born in the 1930s, while the other party was already in his twenties in the 1930s.
