Chapter 22. Doctor Sui
After dropping off Teacher Zhang at the gate of the community, Luo Yihang and Qiang Wa drove to the municipal hospital to pick up Sui Wa, who had already gotten off work.
After another round of "passionate exchanges", the three of them began their night as men.
However, on the way there, Luo Yihang asked some questions.
"Sui Wa, do you know anyone who collects medicinal herbs? The old man in the house planted some Polyporus umbellatus two years ago. It's time to sell it."
Sui Wa’s full name is Sui Yong. He and Luo Yihang and Qiang Wa have been classmates for six years.
Sui Wa studied very well and was admitted to a medical university to study traditional Chinese medicine. He now works as a doctor in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of the Municipal Hospital.
As a doctor, he must know a lot of people related to medicine.
The raw materials of Poria cocos are collected by the medicinal materials factory, and there are several levels of separation between them and the pharmaceutical company that makes it into medicine and then to the hospital, so it is not considered a violation of policy.
Sui Wa had mentioned the difference when they were chatting casually before, so Luo Yihang asked directly.
Sui Wa didn't waste any time and just took out his phone to make a call.
After the call was connected, after the same enthusiastic exchange between the "idiot" and the "coward", they got down to business.
We quickly reached an agreement to bring the Poria cocos over tomorrow afternoon so that we can take a look at the goods first, and then determine the grade and price based on the quality and quantity.
After hanging up the phone, Sui Wa introduced: "This guy and I were in the same room at school, and we had a very good relationship. He studied pharmacology and went to work at the district's herbal medicine factory. He has a say, so there will definitely be no problem."
That's all I have to say.
Tianhan has been an important Chinese medicine production area since ancient times, producing dozens of kinds of Chinese medicinal materials, among which Han Bawei is the most famous.
There are many people who grow and collect medicinal herbs locally, and there are also many pharmaceutical-related companies.
There are enterprises such as medicinal material factories, pharmaceutical factories and medical companies at the township, county, district and city levels.
Sui Wa mentioned the "medicine factory in the district", whose full name is Xingda Chinese Medicinal Materials Processing Factory. It is a medicinal materials processing factory under the Tianhan City Pharmaceutical Group. It is a decades-old enterprise specializing in pharmaceutical raw materials.
That is, it is responsible for the steps of transforming Chinese medicinal materials from plants into medicinal raw materials.
Compared with the line of farmers who grow medicinal herbs, drug dealers, and purchasing stations, the medicinal herbs factory belongs to the terminal.
Go directly to them, cut out the middlemen, and get it done in one step.
So, there are advantages to going back to your hometown. You can always find someone to introduce you to anything.
Sui Wa had just finished talking about his relationship with the person on the other end of the phone.
Qiang Wa screamed at the top of his lungs from the driver's seat: "My brother who sleeps on the upper bunk..."
Luo Yihang had such a tacit understanding that he didn't even need to give any signals. He just said, "I'll put on the wedding dress for you..."
"Puff!" The turn was too fast and Qiangwa was sprayed.
Sui Wa was so angry that he didn't dare to offend the driver in front. He yelled "Go away" and was about to attack Luo Yihang, who was sitting next to him.
Luo Yihang pushed him down on the chair and he continued to howl.
"Is it true that you are so excited?"
"Maybe, it's very spirited. We don't discriminate."
"As a man, it's inevitable that you have some little fun and some little secrets. It's normal."
Being pressed on the chair and unable to move, and being teased by two unscrupulous guys, Sui Wa was so angry that he struggled up and kicked Luo Yihang several times in a rage.
Luo Yihang patted the dirt off and didn't take it seriously. He pulled Sui Wa to kiss him affectionately and then turned to deal with Qiang Wa.
It's just that flexible.
...After making a lot of noise along the way, Qiangwa drove into an old factory.
The car stopped at the door and several people got out and walked inside.
In Luo Yihang's impression, this place used to be an instrument factory, also a third-line one, which also went bankrupt in the early 2000s.
This factory is not big, but it has a good geographical location and was included in the urban area during urbanization.
It now seems to have been changed into a beer square.
The original factory building was divided into rooms by partitions. Above each room was a sign that read XX BBQ, XX Kebabs, XX Night Market, etc. It was decorated with colorful lights and had tables and chairs inside and outside.
Luo Yihang followed them in and looked at it freshly. "When was it changed? It's pretty good."
"The year before last, you came back for the Chinese New Year and missed it." Qiangwa answered casually and walked inside with all his heart.
We were almost at the end of the walk when we finally entered a shop called "Beautiful BBQ". It was quite large in this area, with all the tables made of wood. There were many flower pots on both sides separating the shops on both sides, and small triangular flags hung overhead fluttering in the wind.
There is also a small stage against the wall at the door.
It’s quite artistic.
The weather was still a bit cool in the early April evening, and most of the diners here sat inside the restaurant.
But Luo Yihang and the others are different. Young people are full of energy, and today there is no wind or rain, so they have to sit outside where it is bright.
Set up a charcoal stove and bake something yourself, it will not only keep you warm but also keep you warm.
It was naturally Qiangwa's job to order the food. He knew what the brothers liked to eat, so he didn't need to ask. He sat down and ordered a bunch of grilled skewers, cold dishes, and most importantly, a box of beer.
The three brothers didn't use cups. Each of them blew a bottle of wine to moisten their throats.
After a bunch of dishes and two bottles of wine, Sui Wa got excited and began to tell the strange stories about his time in medical school.
Three grown men were telling ghost stories at the dinner table while it was still daylight.
It can be as boring as it can be.
Sui Wa told two stories, and they were not scary at all, so he wanted to tell more.
Qiangwa couldn't bear to listen any longer.
He took over the topic and started talking about how he and Luo Yihang were selling vegetables on the way here, describing it vividly.
How did he pick up the person, how did he take the vegetables, how did he just nibble on a tomato, how did he look, how did he not even bother to wipe the soup off the corner of his mouth, "It's so funny, he insisted that Hangwa's vegetables were some kind of premium vegetables, and he paid 10 yuan for 150 kilograms."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Sui Wa was fine after listening to the first part, but when she heard about the premium vegetables, she suddenly stood up and spoke anxiously. She turned around and asked Luo Yihang: "What? Hangwa, have you changed to growing premium vegetables? Do you have a channel?"
? What?
Luo Yihang was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted and explained in detail.
Luo Yihang couldn't be as "simple" to his brothers as he was to Teacher Zhang.
"It is and it is not. The vegetables my family has produced this time are high-altitude vegetables. The temperature difference between day and night is large. They are irrigated with spring water from the Qinling Mountains and snow. The sunshine time is more than 15 hours. The stir-fry concept is a high-quality dish. But they have not entered the high-quality supermarkets and have no channels, so it is not. We are our own people and we don't play with those concepts. They are just grown in the mountains, without pesticide residues, and of better quality."
"But I can guarantee that it's better than those in Shanghai's boutique supermarkets." Luo Yihang thought for a moment and said affirmatively, "Much better."
After hearing this, Qiangwa gave a thumbs up, indicating that it was all authentic and the taste was simply amazing.
"That's fine, I'll get some when I come tomorrow." Sui Wa is not the kind of person who gets hung up on concepts. As long as it's a good thing, it's fine. Since it's from his brother's house, there's no need to be polite, he can just take it directly.
"No problem, bring it tomorrow." Luo Yihang agreed.
Anyway, I wanted to see the Polyporus umbellatus, so I took care of it in one go. Then I asked curiously, "It seems like you are looking for this kind of vegetable?"
"Oh, that's right. I'm so worried." Sui Wa picked up the bottle and drank one with his three brothers, then started to complain.
