Chapter 339: Five divisions won't change the iron spoon for scrambled eggs
Elizabeth was back to the healthy state she had been in more than a year ago.
If you don't have to take medicine every day and go to the hospital for regular check-ups.
No one could tell that this angelic little girl was a sickly leukemia patient who lay in bed waiting to die two months ago.
Her parents were filled with joy as they watched their daughter, whose appearance was no different from normal and healthy children of her age.
"My dear, our daughter is finally well. According to the paper, if she takes the medicine every day, she should be fine before she turns 20.
In another ten years, perhaps that great Chinese medical scientist will be able to develop a special medicine that can completely cure leukemia.
By then, my daughter will be able to live a normal life, find a good job, marry a good boy, and have several healthy children."
Elizabeth's mother said to her husband beside her with a look of relief.
After a checkup in the hospital the day before yesterday, my daughter's health is generally fine and she can go to school today.
This made her feel a little unreal.
Two months ago, my daughter was diagnosed by top European hospitals as having only a few months to live.
Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the better. The special medicine imported from China, which had a very strange name "Bazhen Shenxi Pills", actually controlled his daughter's condition.
Even in the hospital where they often went for checkups, both the attending physician and the director called it a "miracle."
Elizabeth's mother felt that the word "miracle" was very appropriate.
If she didn't know that Mr. Mengde Wang, who developed this medicine, was a yellow man with yellow skin, black hair and black eyes, she would be willing to believe that it was God who bestowed this blessing upon her.
"Yes, dear, our daughter will certainly recover completely.
By the way, let me tell you a good news. I learned from other channels that this great Chinese medical scientist can completely cure leukemia, but the patient needs to go to China in person to receive his treatment.
Moreover, the consultation fee is at least US$50,000, plus the round-trip travel expenses and expenses incurred during the treatment, it will cost about US$80,000.
I've calculated that we only have three thousand dollars in our family now. My monthly salary is about five thousand dollars, and my year-end bonus is thirty thousand dollars. After deducting taxes, family living expenses, and Elizabeth's monthly medicine, if we save a little, we can save thirty thousand dollars a year.
That means, in three years, we will have enough money to take our daughter to China for medical treatment."
Little Elizabeth's father said with a happy look on his face.
The company he is currently working for is a large multinational corporation, and he just happened to come into contact with a senior executive at work recently.
When the two were chatting, they talked about their family situations.
The executive's family happened to have a person suffering from leukemia. Last year, he spent two months seeking help from Wang Mengde in China and was completely cured.
Now I can say that every physical examination shows that my body is in normal condition.
After hearing this, he was overjoyed and quickly found out some details.
"Really? Honey, if it can help my daughter regain her health, I can stop buying her new clothes and cosmetics for a few years."
Elizabeth's mother said excitedly after hearing the news.
Before their daughter fell ill, the family had some extra money and had never calculated daily expenses.
Firstly, my husband earns a lot, nearly $100,000 a year. Even after taxes, our family of five has no pressure to live in this big city.
Secondly, I have never had the concept of saving money. I basically spend whatever I have, and sometimes even spend beyond my budget.
She is often one of the first to buy new luxury goods on the market.
Like "God's Perfume", they have several bottles at home, all bought more than a year ago.
"Okay, dear, I will also quit smoking and drinking. Let's save money together. We should save enough money within three years and then take our daughter to China."
After the two people discussed it, they felt that their future life was full of hope again and they felt more energetic.
China.
After the leader returned from the meeting, he immediately convened a leadership meeting of the health and family planning system.
"Well, comrades, let's start the meeting now.
Next, I would like to convey the spirit of the above meeting.
First, the medicine "Bazhen Shenxi Pills" suddenly became a hot seller abroad. According to national statistics, only tens of thousands of boxes were sold in the first month. Based on the export price of US$50 per box, the drug generated several million US dollars in foreign exchange earnings.
In the second month, sales volume suddenly surged to more than 300,000 boxes, bringing the country nearly 20 million US dollars in foreign exchange earnings.
This is because we underestimated the estimate and the pharmaceutical factory did not open up production. If the supply is sufficient, perhaps we can reach 500,000 boxes a month.
This sudden and drastic increase was beyond everyone's expectations.
I really didn't expect that this drug, priced so high, could still sell so much.
The higher-ups specially praised our department and Comrade Wang Mengde at the meeting. Comrade Wang Mengde must be at the forefront of various commendation conferences at the end of this year."
The top leader of the health and family planning system presided over the meeting and said to all the leaders present:
“The second thing is that the higher-ups hope that we will continue to work hard and strive to increase production from now on.
All units in the pharmaceutical industry and pharmaceutical factories should not reduce production or lower service standards due to external environmental influences. This is a political task and needs to be communicated to the subordinate units in a timely manner after the meeting.
The third one is the long-term task assigned to us by the higher-ups. Originally, our system’s foreign exchange revenue target this year was to reach US$500 million.
In view of the fact that Comrade Wang Mengde has developed two more drugs that are selling well overseas, the higher-ups hope that we can achieve foreign exchange earnings of US$550 million this year.
From now on, the annual growth rate must be at least 50 million US dollars. I have already signed a military order with my superiors to ensure that the task is completed.
Here, I also hope that all comrades will work together and strive to complete the tasks assigned by the superiors successfully. "
After the top leader conveyed the relevant spirit and tasks at the meeting, several other leaders also began to express their opinions.
“Since the higher-ups have already issued instructions, we will immediately notify all units and pharmaceutical factories after the meeting to convey the spirit as soon as possible.
I have heard that due to the influence of the external environment, each pharmaceutical factory is somewhat unstable.
This situation is very dangerous and needs to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will have a big impact on production and we won’t be able to complete our tasks this year.”
"Old Hu is right. We have so many drugs for export. We can't afford any problems at the pharmaceutical factory. We earn nearly two million dollars in foreign exchange every day. We can't afford any delays."
"I agree. Now our system must put production tasks first, and everything else is secondary. The higher-ups have also given clear instructions."
"In fact, we are almost done with this year's $500 million mission. We still have less than two months, which is enough time to complete the $550 million mission."
"Lao Jiang, the 'Bazhen Shenxi Pills' developed by Comrade Wang Mengde will definitely bring in 20 million US dollars in foreign exchange next month. Add to that the revenue from this year's artificially synthesized bovine insulin and other medicines, and I estimate that this year's revenue will be at least 600 million."
The leaders all spoke at once. They had also felt something was wrong recently, but no one dared to speak out first.
Now that the higher-ups have spoken, they are naturally willing to obey.
In order to prevent any further complications, we also planned to send a notice to all subordinate units after the meeting.
The following meetings gradually turned into a meeting to praise Wang Mengde.
It’s not the leaders’ fault. After all, the health care system will earn $500 to $600 million in foreign exchange this year, and the drugs developed by Wang Mengde over the years account for more than 90% of them.
Of the remaining exported medicines, some are made from ancient recipes, while all other domestic owners account for only about 5 percent.
It fully illustrates the truth that one person is better than everyone else.
If the country had not always emphasized collective achievements, Wang Mengde should have become the vice president of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine long ago with so many achievements.
At the same time, his rank will be at least three levels higher than it is now.
However, Wang Mengde did not think much about these honors.
At present, he only wants to continue to improve his medical skills and bring some benefits to the country at the same time. Anyway, in the current environment, if he keeps it in his hands, it will just get moldy and be completely ineffective.
Moreover, he is also confident that after another ten years or so, his medical skills will be much higher than they are now, and he will develop more and more medicines.
If you really want to get rich, just spend some time and you can get some effective medicines, health products or daily necessities.
Over the years, He Shengnan has memorized dozens of secret recipes.
In the future, any one of them can ensure that his family has no worries about food and clothing, or even live a very rich life.
Of course, he was just preparing for the worst and preparing for a rainy day.
If he ignores his family, he can roam freely in the world thanks to the system.
Moreover, his value is not comparable to that of ordinary people. The foreign exchange income alone is 500 to 600 million US dollars per year, which will continue to grow every year, and he will continue to produce results.
According to some foreign newspapers, there was someone in China who was worth five divisions in the past. Wang Mengde was certainly not as good as that person, but he was more than enough to be worth a division.
The divisions mentioned in foreign newspapers are not ordinary infantry divisions, but special units equipped with the national weapons of every major country.
When the newspaper came out, it was also spread to China. When the top reader saw it, he even joked:
“Comrade Wang Mengde is not someone that a division can replace.
Even if our country was given five divisions, I would not trade it. Who would be so stupid as to trade a laying hen for salted duck eggs? "
Time quickly came to late October.
The weather in the capital is gradually getting colder, and everyone is starting to prepare for winter.
Due to the change of seasons, the number of patients with typhoid fever increases, especially children, who have weak resistance and are very susceptible to illness.
Nanluoguxiang, Courtyard No. 95.
On this weekend morning, Yaya wrinkled her nose and said to Wang Mengde coquettishly: "Dad, I don't want to take the medicine, it's too bitter!"
She had so much fun playing with her friends in the Guang'anmen neighborhood yesterday that she took off all her thick clothes, and as expected, she fell ill today.
"Be good, Yaya. This is the medicine developed by Dad. It's not bitter at all. It's very sweet. If you don't believe me, try it."
Wang Mengde held a bowl of medicine and coaxed softly.
The medicine bowl contains Isatis root granules, which was the first granule he developed ten years ago.
There are now dozens of kinds of granules available in China.
However, Isatis Root Granules is the most popular one. After all, its sweet taste is a kind of deep happiness in this era of material scarcity.
Many children even hope to get sick so that they can drink this medicine a few times.
After Yaya drank the medicine, she lay in bed for a while, then she felt full of strength and got out of bed.
"Yaya, why are you up? Go to bed and sleep for a while. You haven't recovered from your illness yet."
Ran Xiaomei saw her granddaughter coming out of the bedroom in the living room and quickly spoke with concern.
"Ahem, grandma, I'm much better now. I can't sleep in bed, and I'm a little hungry."
Yaya coughed twice, then held her stomach and spoke in a tender voice.
She fell ill at midnight yesterday and had no appetite in the morning, so she just drank two mouthfuls of millet porridge.
Now that I’m alert, I immediately feel hungry.
"Oh, I'll prepare something to eat for you right away." When Ran Xiaomei heard that her granddaughter was hungry, she quickly put down the needlework in her hands, stood up and was about to go out.
At this time, He Shengnan came in from outside and said with a smile:
"Mom, stop working. I'll use a spoon to make two eggs for Yaya and put some sesame oil in them. It will not only satisfy your hunger, but also help with your cough."
She was talking about "scrambled eggs with an iron spoon".
Put the iron spoon on the fire to roast, then pour some sesame oil and beat two eggs into it.
Stir carefully with chopsticks while baking, and the eggs will solidify into lumps after a while.
In the past, whenever Wang Mengde was sick as a child, Ran Xiaomei would make this for him, especially when he had a cough.
Although He Shengnan had never enjoyed this kind of treatment before, her mother did the same when her two younger brothers were sick.
"I want eggs. I want eggs fried with an iron spoon."
When Yaya heard what her mother said, her eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted loudly.
She had eaten scrambled eggs made in this way last year and early this spring.
"Okay, Mom will do it for you. Just sit in the chair and wait."
He Shengnan said with a smile.
Then, she deftly took out four eggs and a bottle of sesame oil from the cupboard, and also took out a large iron spoon.
Soon, the house was filled with the aroma of scrambled eggs cooked with sesame oil, and it even drifted into the yard.
Just as Yaya was happily eating scrambled eggs, Qin Huairu from next door pushed the door open and walked in, twisting her big butt.
