Chapter 192 Traditional Chinese Medicine Pharmacy
"The big pot is gone..."
Chang Kun was chatting with his older sister when Chang Xiu ran over holding a bubble machine to show him.
"Out of bubble solution?" Chang Kun picked up the bubble machine and glanced at it; it was filled with plain water.
"Who installed it for you?"
Chang Xiu turned around and pointed at Chang Mu, who was looking this way. Chang Mu smiled shyly.
"Xiao Qing, Xiao Mu, come here." Chang Kun called the three little girls over.
I took a bar of face soap and poured some water into the basin.
Chang Qing reacted the fastest, exclaiming with delight, "Big brother, are you making bubble solution for us!"
Chang Kun chuckled. This little girl always washes her face like a kitten dipping water to wash its whiskers, just swishing it around a couple of times and calling it a wash. I never expected she knew that soapy water could be used to blow bubbles.
As you stir the soap with your hands, bubbles of all sizes slowly appear in the water.
Chang Mu and Chang Xiu exclaimed in surprise, "Big pot, bubbles, bubbles!"
Chang Xiu poured soapy water into the bubble machine, giggled, snatched the machine, and waved it in the wind, bubbles floating down behind her. Chang Qing and Chang Mu chased after her, baring their teeth and brandishing their claws, the three little girls making a ruckus.
Chang Kun and Chang Mu watched from the side, their eyes filled with envy. They could never experience that kind of childhood joy again.
During dinner, my mother kept smiling and couldn't help praising her son: "Little Kun is really capable. Today at the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Cuiqin and a few others were fighting over pork. The scene was...tsk tsk tsk..."
"Mom, how were the pigs divided?" Chang Kun asked curiously.
"Director Wang, Xiao Yao and Da Liu each cut ten catties of belly meat. The rest are all for you, Sister Wang. I'll give you the money and coupons when they give them to me tomorrow."
"Mother, you keep all the money and coupons for yourself. I have enough for myself."
"Okay, good son!" Liu Meifen happily agreed. With money in hand, she felt at ease, knowing that all the money would be left to her son in the future.
"Mom, didn't Sister Wang and the others save some pork for you?"
Liu Meifen blinked: "She did say that, but I think, since you can hunt wild boars, if our family wants to eat meat, you can just go up the mountain and hunt another one."
Alright, I've got a really good plan...
Upon hearing the word "pork," Chang Qing's eyes lit up: "Brother, where's the meat? When are we having pork cracklings?"
Chang Mu and Chang Xiu stared wide-eyed at Chang Kun, still able to recall the aroma of the pork cracklings they had eaten last time.
The others burst into laughter. The one in the family who craved the most wasn't Xiu'er, but Chang Qing.
"Alright, I'll hunt a wild boar tomorrow and make you guys some fried pork cracklings." There's still a wild boar in the storage space; I'll find a chance to take it out tomorrow.
The little girls shouted excitedly, "Oh—we've got pork cracklings to eat!"
Chang Dashan took a sip of his wine and felt that he was living a more comfortable life than during the New Year.
After dinner, the little girls went to play with the bubble machine, while Chang Kun lay alone on the kang (a heated brick bed) watching the system rewards.
[Ding! Wild boar captured 1/1, reward: 40 roasted pork kidneys.]
[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 1020 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 2600 meters.]
[Ding! Wild Wolf 1/1 captured, reward: 2 boxes of Wolf Fang Gear (glowing version)]
[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 1040 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 2650 meters.]
[Ding! Captured 1/1 argali sheep, reward: 40 roasted lamb kidneys.]
[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 1060 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 2700 meters.]
Chang Kun: ...
What's going on with this system? Not only are it giving out lamb kidneys and pork kidneys, but it's also providing glowing wolf tooth covers. Is it preparing these for itself in advance because it knows it's getting married soon?
Patting his eight-pack abs, Chang Kun realized he didn't need any of those pork or lamb kidneys to supplement his diet.
The next morning, Chang Kun went straight to the Chinese medicine pharmacy in the city.
I'd like to ask how to preserve the wolf I hunted yesterday, the pig gall bladder I had, and the bear bile I had dried earlier.
He has his own space to store things as he pleases, but he wants to keep these things at home in case his family needs them.
The last time I went to the Chinese medicine pharmacy was when I bought pagoda-shaped sugar pills. I also bought a few Angong Niuhuang pills that time, but I haven't used them yet.
"Hello, could you help me find a master craftsman?" Chang Kun offered a cigarette, and the shop assistant immediately beamed with joy.
"Dr. Yan is seeing patients here today. He only sees patients once a month, so you're lucky. He's the only doctor in Beijing who prescribes medicine here." The clerk said, giving a thumbs-up with a smug look on his face.
"Oh, then I'm really lucky," Chang Kun replied, it seems he came to the right place today.
The two walked toward the inner clinic. Chang Kun did not notice that a person sweeping and wiping the table behind him was secretly looking up at him.
This man was none other than Jin Sanjia from the village.
He had followed Chang Kun into the mountains and invited Zhang Pianxin and his son to hunt wild boars, but they encountered three wild wolves.
He was so frightened that he abandoned the Zhang family father and son and fled. He returned to the village without asking anyone for help. Later, it was Chang Kun who rescued the Zhang family father and son and brought them back to the village.
Jin Sanjia knew that what he had done was too dishonest, so he dared not stay in the village any longer. He went to the city and, through his uncle's connections, found an apprenticeship at a pharmacy.
At this time, apprentices had to work for their masters for several years before they could start learning.
Even the beggars and comedians on the overpass had to learn their craft for three years and serve for two years first.
Now he's just sweeping the floor and wiping the tables and chairs in the pharmacy. The work isn't tiring, but Jin Sanjia can't stand being managed by others.
Suddenly, he saw Chang Kun, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. His eyes darted around a few times, and he quietly followed behind, listening intently to the sounds coming from the examination room.
"Hello, Dr. Yan." Chang Kun was facing an elderly man in his seventies, whose face was covered with age spots.
This isn't like later generations, where a few venerable old men are hired to play traditional Chinese medicine doctors and deceive people.
They weren't the kind of "4+4" pilot program graduates with connections who, once they got to the hospital, couldn't prescribe medicine or perform surgery; they just did administrative work and waited for promotions.
Most senior doctors these days have unique skills; those without such skills wouldn't have been able to continue working.
A pack of Panda cigarettes was placed in front of Dr. Yan, prompting the old doctor to chuckle: "Young man, I've been seeing patients for so many years, and it's rare to see someone so generous!"
Chang Kun smiled but didn't say anything. He had no shortage of food, clothing, or daily necessities, and he certainly didn't lack money. He could get closer to a capable doctor; who knows, he might need it someday.
"Young man, come on, tell me where you feel unwell and what your symptoms are." Seeing that Chang Kun didn't respond, the old doctor went straight to the point.
"Dr. Yan, I'm not sick, I just want to ask a few questions."
The old doctor was taken aback. A perfectly healthy person came to the clinic to offer cigarettes, just to ask a few questions?
"Tell me, I'll listen."
"I have bear bile, pig gall, a ginseng root, and some deer antler and musk. I would like to ask how to preserve them."
As Chang Kun counted these things, he was filled with emotion, realizing that he had unknowingly accumulated quite a lot of items.
"Oh? Pig gallstones? Let me see!" The old doctor's eyes lit up. He had seen plenty of other things like bear bile and ginseng, but pig gallstones were a rare find. Although their medicinal effects were so-so, they were very rare.
Jin Sanjia, who was eavesdropping outside the door, gasped for breath. How could Chang Kun have so many good things? Where did he get them?
After working as a cleaner in the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy for a while, he learned that the things Chang Kun mentioned were all valuable items.
He lowered his head, thought carefully for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Chang Kun, don't blame me. Blame yourself for having too many good things on you."
He took a few steps back quietly, and when no one was looking, he slipped out of the pharmacy like a thief...
