Get ill.
This is an extremely serious issue, especially in this day and age.
Whether it was the Republic of China or Europe and the United States at the same time, the medical level was basically the same - low.
From the perspective of medical history, the sulfonamide drug developed by German Domac, a big name in the medical industry, came out not long ago. It is still in a golden price-performance state and is in extremely short supply. It is not known whether it is sold in Peking.
Penicillin, discovered in 1928, came out six years later, but there is no trace of a series of antibiotic drugs.
Colds and flu, which were common and common in later generations, are serious diseases that can kill people in this era.
If you are not careful, the whole village will eat the feast.
Yu Hua did not dare to take his cold and fever symptoms lightly. He still had his own dreams and goals, and he could not be defeated and taken away by an ordinary cold.
After his body gradually became more comfortable, Yu Hua put on a valuable light gray Western-style wool coat and a scarf, took five ten-yuan bills from a small iron box, left the house, and went to a nearby drugstore. .
Jinguo Hutong is a narrow alley located at the northwest end of the Inner Sixth District, in Ping'an Lane. Beihai Park is on the right when you go out, and the Forbidden City is further ahead. It is located on an important traffic thoroughfare.
In later generations, Yu Hua took advantage of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China to travel to the capital once. If I remember correctly, within the second ring road here, the cheap old man Yu Qinghe bought this one-stop small house for 400 yuan. For hospitals, the price is basically in the tens of millions.
"Wontons, authentic Ping'anli wontons, very clean."
"Grinding scissors."
"It's old ginger, it's the old ginger in the cellar."
"Chinese cabbage, frozen Chinese cabbage, so hard it can kill someone."
After leaving Jinguo Hutong, there are various vendors on both sides of the street, shouting and shouting, selling all kinds of things, including food, toys, candied haws, and a dazzling array of gadgets.
There are not many vegetables, most of them are just frozen Chinese cabbage, and as for fresh meat, there is no fresh meat at all.
Yu Hua felt like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around and taking a closer look. Spanning nearly a hundred years of time and space, the completely different accents of the forty-nine cities in the Republic of China made him feel fresh and interesting, just like watching a movie.
In front of him was a scene that Yu Hua had seen but never imagined. It was familiar yet strange.
Most of the time, the scenes during the Republic of China were broadcast on TV and constructed and processed by later generations. They are not comparable to the real world.
"Buy the medicine first, and then eat the wontons later. It seems that this thing is our copycat." Yu Hua glanced at the steaming wonton stall not far away, and couldn't help but feel a sense of hunger in his stomach. Greedy, he immediately headed towards the drug store in his memory.
Xuanji Hall.
The plaque of the medicine shop has three regular characters written on it, which is dignified and grand. It is taken from Xuanhu Jishi. From my memory, I know that this is a medicine shop that has been open for nearly 20 years. An old Chinese doctor sits in the hall. Most of the neighbors come here when they are sick.
Yu Hua took a look and entered Xuanji Hall. The faint smell of medicinal materials permeated the inside of the medicine shop. Inside, there was an old Chinese doctor sitting, wearing a purple silk mandarin jacket. He was energetic and holding a writing brush in his right hand, writing prescriptions.
Sitting next to him was a young man in his late twenties, with a cheerful face, wearing glasses, dressed in Western style, with a suit, trousers, tie and a mandarin jacket, and shiny leather shoes on his feet.
Rich people.
At first glance, Yu Hua could feel the rich aura of this man. It was rare to see him wearing Western-style clothes in the Republic of China.
There's no way around it. A coat costs from a few yuan to more than ten yuan, and ordinary people can't afford to wear it.
Seeing the old Chinese doctor busy, Yu Hua was not in a hurry and looked around. The medicine shop was simply furnished, with four or five chairs and a pure wooden medicine cabinet. The material was unrecognizable, and it was all written with traditional Chinese characters.
Yu Hua took a closer look and found an embarrassing situation. He didn't know traditional Chinese characters.
Yes, I can understand mathematics, but I cannot understand traditional Chinese characters.
Through the outline and structure, I could barely recognize a few characters, such as angelica, ginseng, gastrodia, etc., but I didn't recognize the rest of the fonts at all.
I may be a fake college student, oh no, I haven't gone to college yet, I just passed the exam. ——Yu Hua sighed in his heart.
"Mr. Hua Luogeng, after you go back, you must pay attention to recuperation. You are deficient in qi and blood. You must pay attention to recuperating your body and have a reasonable routine and diet." At this moment, the voice of an old Chinese doctor suddenly came from behind. After writing the prescription, he went to The young man warned carefully.
He does not mean that.
Damn it, Hua Luogeng? ——Yu Hua, who was studying the pure wood medicine cabinet, felt as if he was struck by lightning when he heard the words of the old Chinese medicine doctor. He turned his head and looked at the young man who was sitting upright and exuding an elegant temperament.
Hua Luogeng?
Is it Hua Luogeng, a famous figure in mathematics and science, the father of modern Chinese mathematics?
Yu Hua couldn't believe what he heard.
"Okay, I'll make sure to pay attention when I go back. I've been living in the UK for the past two years and I don't pay much attention to my work and rest. It's made my health worse. I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Tan." The young man took the prescription, smiled and looked at the old Chinese medicine doctor. said.
"I've been working hard abroad for the past two years, and I see you have gray hair." The old Chinese medicine doctor sighed slightly.
Immediately afterwards, he stood up and went to the medicine cabinet. With his skillful skills and without weighing, he accurately picked out the weight of the required medicines, and then wrapped them one by one, making a total of three sets: "I've got the medicine for you, turn on the high fire, and slow down the low fire." Fry it, three times a day, and drink medicine after meals."
"Mr. Tan, how much is the consultation fee?" the young man said respectfully as he took the three sets of Chinese medicine.
The old Chinese medicine doctor waved his hand: "Just take four oceans, the cost of medicinal materials and medical expenses are not included. It has not been easy for you to study abroad these years."
The three medicines include precious medicinal materials such as Northeastern wild ginseng, which are specially designed to nourish the body. Together with the consultation fee, if you put them in other drug stores, they will charge at least ten yuan.
"Excuse me." The young man didn't give much. He knew the old man's character and temper, so he took out four ocean dollars from his arms and put them on the handkerchief.
It is disrespectful to give money directly to others, and it will make people mistakenly think that they are begging for food. According to the rules, it must be placed on a handkerchief to be considered etiquette.
"Go ahead." The old Chinese doctor smiled.
After paying the money, the young man picked up three pairs of traditional Chinese medicine and stood up to leave. He walked out of the Xuanji Hall door under Yu Hua's gaze.
There was only one patient left in the room, Hua.
"Are you Yu Hua?" At this time, the old Chinese medicine doctor stood up and walked over, with a rosy face and a very good complexion, and said to Yu Hua, who was lost in thought.
When Yu Hua heard the sound, he came back to his senses, was startled for a moment, and was a little confused: "Yes, the old gentleman recognizes me?"
"Of course I recognize you. You often walk out and you are the only high school student in Ping'an. Who in the neighborhood doesn't recognize you, a Sichuan kid." The old Chinese medicine doctor showed a kind smile and explained: "What's wrong today? Are you feeling unwell?"
