After a bowl of medicinal soup, it was good or bad. No one wanted to drink a second bowl. After three days at home, Zheng Xiong was completely healed. I don’t know how I survived three consecutive days of medicinal soup. Fortunately, everything passed. Zheng Xiong, who had regained his life, burst into tears and secretly swore.
You must exercise and never get sick again. Drinking this medicinal soup once is enough. You must not drink it a second time, never.
If I am feeling weak, I will stay at home for two more days to replenish my energy. I will ask them to deliver the documents I need to sign. It is still possible to work from home.
Two days later, the five consecutive days of rainy weather began to clear up. The sun was shining and I felt particularly comfortable. As I walked, I saw a lot of people coughing on the road. The sudden drop in temperature seemed to have caught many people.
A lot of people have gathered at the door of the pharmacy. Hundreds of people are waiting in line at the door of the pharmacy. They are all infected with the cold and come to see the doctor and get medicine.
Seeing this posture, Zheng Xiong didn't dare to delay any longer and hurried to the pharmacy. A normal cold and fever were fine, but seasonal flu would be a big problem.
Because the common flu is less contagious, the flu is more contagious.
Secondary influenza is caused by influenza viruses that infect the human body. The viruses are divided into three types: influenza viruses A, B, and C. Common colds are mostly caused by rhinovirus, parainfluenza virus, and respiratory syncytial virus infection.
The third type of influenza has severe physical symptoms, which can cause high fever, general weakness, headache, body muscle aches, loss of appetite, etc.; the symptoms of the common cold are mild, mainly showing symptoms such as runny nose, nasal congestion, cough, sneezing, dry throat, sore throat, etc. , generally there are no systemic symptoms, or only symptoms such as low fever, mild chills and headache.
Influenza is highly contagious and spreads quickly. It is mainly spread through droplets and direct contact, and can easily cause explosive epidemics. The common cold is less contagious and does not cause a pandemic.
There were many people in the pharmacy, and there were no protective measures for doctors and patients. The saliva was flying everywhere, which shocked Zheng Xiong. In this situation, within a few days, the person will not be cured, and it will be difficult for him to find a cure at his own pharmacy, and he will have to stay at home.
When I walked to my office, I saw Wu You not far away. I waved and called Wu You over.
"Are these all wind chill?"
"Sir, yes, the weather has changed in the past few days. Many people have the same symptoms as adults, and the symptoms are similar."
"Then you handle it this way. Aren't you afraid of being infected when we are so close?"
I have never thought about this. They are all at a third-rate level. Common colds and flus are just fine. Unless severe symptoms occur, complications will be fatal, and not enough attention is paid to this aspect.
"Please show me, sir."
"There's not much cotton left."
"There are quite a few. Now more and more surgeries are being performed, so there is a lot of cotton prepared."
"Okay, let's make some arrangements and get some pieces of cloth and some needle and thread. No, I think I taught you how to make masks. Put cotton between the two pieces of cloth, sew them together, cover your mouth and nose, and make two Just fix the earrings. Forget it, you can send some cotton to the printing factory later. When the cloth and needlework arrive, send them there. I'll wait for you over there."
"yes."
"Let's do it quickly."
"I am resigning."
Wu You went to make arrangements to buy cloth and move cotton. Zheng Xiong went to the printing factory and called Lin Shi.
"Gather together those who are good at needlework around your house. Give me twenty cash a day and sew something for me. Do it quickly. It's urgent."
"Yes, sir."
Although he was a little confused, Lin Shi hurriedly went to do it, returned to his own, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Dear neighbors, Huimin Pharmacy needs some people who can do needlework to help with some work. It's twenty cents a day. Hurry up. I won't wait until the time for a stick of incense."
Afraid that others might not hear clearly or not, Lin Shi shouted a few times louder.
The little girl and daughter-in-law were not seen, but there was no shortage of aunts, and Lin Shi was not picky. He stayed for a stick of incense before taking these aunts away.
We just happened to catch up, and the two sides cooperated well. Before we had time to say anything, Zheng Xiong provided on-site guidance.
"Whoever among you is good at cutting cloth, come here to cut cloth specifically."
After hearing the question, several aunties stood up, and Zheng Xiong casually named them.
"You guys, just fold two pieces of cloth so that the top and bottom can cover your mouth and nose, sideways... Forget it, I'll give you a sample."
After saying that, he started right away, cut out a mask about the same size as a later generation mask, cut two pieces, and walked to a group of aunts.
"One of you will sew this up."
The city was very enthusiastic and pointed at an aunt and asked her to come closer.
Zheng Xiong stuffed the cotton between the two pieces of cloth and asked the aunt to sew it up. It was a bit unfamiliar for the first time, so Zheng Xiong could only explain it patiently. After a while, the sewing was completed. Zheng Xiong took out the string and motioned to make the string into a semicircle and embed it on the mask. This is not difficult at all and can be done quickly.
Zheng Xiong looked at the mask in his hand. It was okay. He tried wearing it for a while. It felt like it, and he nodded with satisfaction.
"Just do it this way, follow this style, no problem."
The aunts laughed happily, it's so simple, the money is not difficult to earn, they said in unison.
"No problem. This way, I can get a hundred and eighty a day without any problem."
"Okay, then I won't disturb you all. I've packed lunch. Then I'll go to the canteen with you. You don't have to worry about eating. Just prepare this for me."
The aunts were even more happy. I'm afraid the landlords and gentry's families didn't get this kind of treatment.
Everyone was enthusiastic.
Cutting cloth, adding cotton, and sewing are like an assembly line, and each mask is quickly formed.
I took one to Ergou and asked him to wear it, and asked Ergou to take the rest to the doctors, telling him that they would all wear them when seeing a doctor today.
Ergou got the order and quickly took the mask and sent it over. Everyone was very talkative and put it on immediately. Zheng Xiong was right.
After thinking for a while, he called for Wu You again.
"Those who have the cold, each person will be given a mask and told not to move around if they have the cold. Stay at home and cover their mouth and nose with a mask. This will prevent their family members from contracting the cold so easily."
The cold wind is actually not a big deal, and Wu You also feels that Zheng Xiong is making a fuss out of a molehill.
Only Zheng Xiong himself knew that a common cold would be fine, but the flu would give him a headache. In later generations, one was in 2003 and the other was in 19. From the government's all-out risk control, it can be seen that it is necessary to take it seriously.
After everything was arranged, we just waited for the masks to be made one by one. We had lunch at noon. The aunts were very satisfied and worked harder in the afternoon.
Soon, one day passed, and dozens of aunts actually made thousands of masks. Apart from the hundreds that were distributed, there were still many left.
Zheng Xiong gave one of these masks to everyone in the printing factory, and then sent a batch to the glass factory. Han Qianhu also sent a batch.
After the arrangements were made, it was time for the aunts’ favorite part. The money was given out. The total amount was less than the usual amount, 20 cents per person, and the aunts were very happy.
Zheng Xiong also spoke.
"Everyone can still come tomorrow, and the wages will still be the same."
"Sir, I must come tomorrow."
After sending the aunts away, Zheng Xiong felt a little sad, hoping that he was making a fuss out of a molehill. The flu was too unfriendly to the elderly and children.
