Chapter 280 Buying medicine
A tiger and a monkey, the two children were so happy that neither of them could bear to eat it now, they carefully held it in their hands, ready to take it back and share it with other friends.
The marshmallows in his hand had been in contact with the air for too long, and the surface was a little saccharified. It was too late for the two of them to eat it. Ye Yaodong simply opened his mouth to help them take two big mouthfuls, but he felt that the corners of his mouth were covered with sugar, a bit sticky , Stretched out his tongue but couldn't lick it.
Seeing this, Lin Xiuqing dragged them to the corner of the road, "I'll go to the shop next door and get you some water to wipe off."
He nodded and waited on the side of the road, looking left and right at the shops beside him when he had nothing to do, but he didn't expect to see an old acquaintance in the pharmacy next to him.
When Lin Xiuqing wiped the corners of his mouth, he saw him staring at the pharmacy all the time, and looked over curiously, "What are you looking at? Do you know the people inside?"
"Go in and have a look!"
Meet up and say hello anyway.
A family of four attracted the attention of the people inside as soon as they entered the pharmacy, and the young people there were also surprised, "It's you, it's a coincidence that you brought your wife and children out to the market?"
"Yes, I just saw Comrade Hong at the door, so I came in to say hello, are you here to buy medicine?"
Hong Wenle took a small box in his hand and showed him, "I asked the pharmacy to buy it for me in advance, come here and get it."
After speaking, he looked at the pharmacy owner, "One hundred and twenty, right?"
"Yes, we will earn hard money for travel expenses."
The couple's eyes widened when they heard it. Why is the medicine so expensive at 120?
Ye Yaodong also asked curiously, "What kind of medicine, ginseng? It's so expensive."
"No, it's Angong Niuhuang Pills. The elderly in the family are getting old, so I keep two pills just in case for first aid."
Angong Niuhuang Wan?
He has seen news about this drug in short videos before!
Angong Niuhuang Pills in the 1980s were expensive...
This is one of the three life-saving medicines!
No wonder it sells for 120!
His heart moved slightly, the old lady was also getting old, because of the matter of the second cousin, the old lady felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and she seemed to be a little depressed these two days, and she didn't have the radiance she used to look at Rejuvenated head.
Sitting at the door basking in the sun didn't have any smiles anymore, and he dozed off every now and then. He was worried that the old man would lose his spirit.
"any left?"
He can't go to the capital again, today's opportunity is really rare!
Although it is expensive, it is difficult to buy the health of the elderly. This is a life-saving medicine for the elderly. Angong Niuhuang Wan in the 1980s was very precious.
It is the secret recipe of the palace during the Kangxi period, and it is the famous medicine for the emperor.
There is a very precious medicinal material in it, called rhinoceros horn. Rhinoceros will be a first-class protected animal in the future, so the traditional Chinese medicine of rhinoceros horn cannot be contained in future medicines. Medicines containing rhinoceros horn were naturally regarded as treasures in the past.
Before 1992, China had not joined the World Organization for Animal Protection. The medicine used rhino horn and natural bezoar, but it was replaced by buffalo horn after 1992. Since then, the efficacy of the medicine has been greatly reduced.
In the future, this medicine can cost tens of thousands of pills. He didn't expect to make a fortune by hoarding this medicine. As a collection, he only wants to prepare two for the old lady and the elderly at home, just in case of emergency.
Hong Wenle raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to buy it?"
This is not cheap, how can ordinary people be willing to buy it?
"There are elderly people in my family, so be prepared."
120 a piece he can still afford.
The owner of the pharmacy smiled and said: "I happened to bring a few more pills. This medicine is very good, and the price is high so I don't have to worry about selling it. How many pills do you want?"
"Two... three pills, forget it, forget it... Do you have five pills?"
There are 3 elderly people in his family, and the old man’s family, what if I can use it myself? 5 capsules are not too many, so we may not be able to meet them next time.
He died once, and he was very afraid of death.
Lin Xiuqing heard his eyes widen and widened, quickly pulled his sleeves, and whispered: "Are you crazy? This medicine is so expensive, and you still have five pills, and you are not allowed to buy any of them! What kind of magic medicine costs 120, don't you?" Make up your own mind."
"This is a rare encounter, and I may not have it if I want it next time..."
The shopkeeper nodded, "This is the imperial medicine used by the court emperors for first aid. I didn't sell it expensive. This medicine is the secret recipe of Tongrentang in the capital. Mr. Hong asked me to bring it. Otherwise, he bought it for two. I only have 3 here.”
He said and took out the medicine and put it on the counter.
Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Xiuqing, "Buy it, buy it, life is important, I think the old lady was hit by the matter of the big brother, and her spirit is not very good these days, so I bought two extra pills for spare."
As soon as the old lady was mentioned, Lin Xiuqing was out of control. The old lady really cared about her man, and she should be filial to the old man. She didn't want anything to happen to such a good old lady.
Affected by the matter of the first cousin and the second cousin these days, the old lady feels very uncomfortable and worried. That is also her eldest grandson, and she is also getting older.
"Then buy one?"
"There are only three pills, so I want them all, as a spare." His family is not bad now, and he can afford to spend a few hundred on a few life-saving pills.
"But we didn't bring so much money out..."
ah!
He forgot about this one.
Now I'm blind.
Ye Yaodong said in embarrassment and embarrassment: "We went out to go to the market and didn't bring that much money with us. Can we come back in the afternoon?"
"Okay, but I can't guarantee that you will have more when you come, and I can't keep it for you just because of your empty talk."
Just as he was thinking that he would have to wait until the afternoon to try his luck, Hong Wenle said, "I can buy these three for you first, and then go to the hotel to find me after you get the money in the afternoon."
Ye Yaodong was amazed at his help, and instantly expressed gratitude, "Thank you very much, I will definitely take the money."
"Hehe, it's okay if you don't come, I don't think too much."
"Then what I want, I'll pick it up at the hotel after lunch."
Hong Wenle smiled nonchalantly, took the medicine and carefully identified it, then showed him the medicine to look carefully, and paid the money if there was no problem.
After walking out of the pharmacy, Ye Yaodong said goodbye after saying that he would definitely go to pick it up.
After dealing with him a few times, he still believed in this person's character, and he didn't need to take matters into his own hands.
After the family of four came out of the pharmacy, they walked around the market all the way. As long as the children were interested, they would stop and try their best to meet the requirements of the two children. It was originally to take them out for fun.
After they visited a market, Lin Xiuqing also had a lot of snacks in his hands, such as malt candy, light cakes, oil cakes, noodle tea cakes, blown sugar figurines, candied haws, rice sticks and so on.
She was suffering from a headache. She never knew that A Dong was quite spoiled by the children. She usually saw him yelling and scolding every day, but now she couldn't stop buying them when she went out.
Seeing the two toads arguing about jumping again, Lin Xiuqing immediately scowled, "If you buy this one, you are not allowed to buy it again. Look at my hand, it's all yours."
"We didn't buy the couplets and the word "Fu"! Neither did woolen yarn, nor did melon seeds, walnuts, or red dates."
The walnuts and red dates were bought by Ye Yaodong for his wife.
"That's not all, the rest are yours."
Ye Yaodong also smiled and said: "Okay, your mother has already spoken, so you won't be allowed to buy another jumping toad."
"Then go to the movies!"
"I haven't forgotten it yet, I thought you were so happy that you forgot it."
"Hey, of course I haven't forgotten, everyone is waiting for me to tell them if the movie theater is good after watching the movie."
"If I don't take you there, then you're going to blow your skin off?" Ye Yaodong flicked his eldest son's head, "Don't be so high-profile, you are not allowed to talk about family affairs, you understand?"
"knew!"
The family happily walked to the cinema again.
The movie theater is an old-fashioned building on the fifth floor. In his opinion, the house is a bit old, with green painted walls, but it is already a tall building in this era when there are low one- or two-story tile-roofed houses everywhere.
For people nowadays, going to the cinema to watch movies is the most novel and trendy. In the era when there were no mobile phones, no wifi, and TV had not yet entered the homes of ordinary people, the cinema was simply a cultural temple in people's minds.
Country people usually wait for the mobile film projection team to go to the countryside. Few people are willing to go to the cinema, but everyone is willing to watch a movie when they go to the city during the Chinese New Year.
There is a ticket window on the first floor of the movie theater. The window for buying tickets is very small, and the iron railing stands there, so you can only reach in to buy tickets.
There are movie posters with a sense of age around the window, and there are various slogans of the times on the surrounding walls.
Ye Yaodong saw crowds of people in front of the ticket window, and there was an endless stream of people buying, exchanging and refunding tickets.
As the end of the new year approaches, many families are willing to spend money, and the crowds of people even surround the front of the cinema.
Many scalpers mixed in the crowd were "somersaulting" with tickets, and kept calling: "Want a ticket? Do you want a ticket?"
Ye Yaodong didn't go to the window to queue up to buy tickets, but instead asked the scalper to buy this morning's show, which he could watch right away, otherwise there would be crowds in front of the cinema, and he didn't know when the queue would be.
And now the activity of watching a movie is done in two parts. Because there are few movies and many audiences, they usually buy advance tickets and wait a day or two or longer before watching them.
A movie ticket worth ten cents can bring people happiness that lasts for a long time.
Because I have movie tickets, I have the expectation of watching movies, and suddenly I have a little bit of happiness, excitement, and longing, and I feel that life is going fast and fulfilling.
Those under 1.3 meters tall don’t need to buy a ticket. Of course, one seat must be shared with an adult, so Ye Yaodong only bought two tickets. The movie is called Shaolin Temple. This year’s new movie has been playing on a loop, and the popularity remains unabated.
After the movie ticket was in hand, the two children couldn't wait to tiptoe and grabbed his hand, "Show me, show me, what does the movie ticket look like..."
"I want to see too…"
Ye Yaodong handed the tickets in his hand to the two children, "Don't break it, if you break it, you won't be able to watch the movie, go home directly."
"Won't."
The two carefully held the movie ticket with their hands and smiled, "Finally I can watch the movie!"
"Let's go, go to the entrance and wait, and the ticket will be checked when it's time." Ye Yaodong picked up the younger one again, and led the older one, letting his wife grab his hem to follow.
There is a section of iron fence at the entrance to the theater. Ticket-holders need to stand in line to check their tickets before they can enter.
When it was almost time, they went forward and lined up to get in.
There are rows of wooden chairs in the simple auditorium, full of traces of the years, crowded with people, many adults and children have already entered, everyone’s faces are full of joy and happiness, and they are all discussing and saying looking happy.
They searched hard, and after finding their own seats, they sat down happily and waited while eating snacks. The melon seeds they bought before also came in handy.
Some eating and some watching, the novel experience made the adults and children in the movie theater chattering.
The scene didn't quiet down until the screening was about to start.
Everyone looked at the screen without blinking their eyes, and the corners of Lin Xiuqing's mouth were also raised all the time. The sparkle in his eyes might be called a sense of happiness.
