Mi Xaing 'er stepped into the pharmacy and looked around … The lobby was quite busy. A few young ladies in white coats were behind the counter, preparing medicine.
Chinese medicine was a national treasure. No matter which era it was, there would always be a group of loyal supporters.
She stood quietly by the door and observed the situation … She still had some misgivings. After all, Hsu Mingwei's words, "the tail of capitalism is not good", was the current situation in this era. If she wanted to live a peaceful life, she had to know how to adapt to the trend of the times.
That's right!
She came out to explore the road to riches!
She didn't want to cause trouble … So she couldn't be like the modern people, going straight to business. She had to find out the details step by step.
While she was in a daze …
A woman in her forties or fifties pushed the door open and walked in. She walked in a hurry and bumped into Mi Xaing 'er's back. The newspaper in her hand fell to the ground.
The woman's attitude was good. She looked up and smiled. "Sorry! I was thinking about something and didn't look where I was going! Did I hurt you? "
"No!" Li Xiang smiled and squatted down to pick up the newspaper. She could faintly smell the Chinese medicine on her. "Comrade, you work here too?"
The woman also squatted down. "Yes! Why? Is there something you don't understand? If you want to get the medicine, just take the prescription to the counter! "
She was a very enthusiastic person.
Mi Xaing 'er helped her pick up the newspaper but didn't hand it over immediately. She hugged it in front of her chest, tilted her head, and pretended to be naive. "Your pharmacy is so big! How many medicines do you have? Where did they come from? "
When the woman heard her, she thought she was a country girl who hadn't seen the world. She chuckled. "You haven't been to the city often, right? Is this your first time here? We're state-run and under the direct supervision of the county's medical bureau! Of course, the medicine is coordinated by the state! "
"Ah?" Mi Xaing 'er continued to play dumb. "That means … the medicine is from outside? That's such a waste! I heard from my grandfather that we have a lot of medicine in the mountains … "
Before she could finish, the woman immediately winked at her. "Shh! Watch your words! "
Looking at her young face and her big, innocent eyes, he couldn't bear it and added, "The herbs from our mountain can't be sold here! Do you understand? A few days ago, someone brought a wild ginseng to sell. Later, he was exposed. It was said that he was taking the capitalist route. He dug up a socialist ginseng and didn't hand it in. He committed a crime! "
"Oh!" Mi Xaing 'er stuck out her tongue. "Is it that serious?"
"Of course!" The woman took the newspaper and turned to leave. "You're a young lady, it's better for you to go shopping! What's there to see in a pharmacy? "
Mi Xaing 'er looked at the other party's expression. She was quite principled and probably wouldn't be able to get anything out of her. She nodded politely and said, "Yes! Once I'm done … I'll leave! "
"Are you here to see a doctor? Why didn't you say so earlier? The old Chinese doctor in charge is on the second floor. Hmm … follow me! "
The woman led Mi Xaing 'er up the stairs and turned right … She saw an isolated consultation room at the end of the corridor. The long benches outside were filled with people who looked like they were all waiting to see a doctor. "Go and register a number first! Our Chinese doctor's surname is Bai. He's considered an expert. There's no disease that he can't understand. His family has a long history and his medical skills are superb. Many people come because of his reputation, but you'll have to wait for a while! "
Mi Xaing 'er nodded and did as she was told. She waited quietly outside the door. She was really curious … What would this famous doctor from the 1970s look like?
