Mobei City is a historical ancient city, the earliest history of the city can be traced back to the Warring States Period, according to the historical book "Yu Shi Ji": "Zhao Wuhou from the five plains, the river meanders to build the Great Wall, east to Yinshan. He also built a big city in the west of the river, and a box collapsed, but he prayed for the meandering of the Yin Mountain and the river. During the day, when he saw a group swimming in the clouds, wandering through the sun, and seeing the great light under it, Wuhou said: 'This is my care'! The Yunzhong City built by Zhao Wuhou mentioned in the text is the ancient city of the ancient city 42 kilometers southwest of Mobei City today.

In addition, in the history of the Han Dynasty, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Liao Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty, there are clear records of the establishment of cities. The Mobei City that I want to be in is built on the basis of the old city of the Ming Dynasty and the new city of the Qing Dynasty, the old city and the new city are only five miles apart, and the old city in the west and the new city in the east are connected by Zhongshan Road built after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

There are many Hui people in Mobei City, there are ancient mosques in the old city, and there are new mosques in the new city after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Early in the morning, Li Yifan forcibly took Chen Gang out of the bed. Chen Gang was chattering in pieces all the way, and he didn't stop complaining until he entered the haggis house next to the mosque.

Li Yifan and Chen Gang both like to eat haggis, but they were busy with exams during this time and didn't come to taste food for a long time. At more than eight o'clock in the morning, the miscellaneous hall was crowded, and it was difficult to find one. Finally waiting for a seat, the two ordered two bowls of haggis and two baked seeds.

After a while, the boss brought the haggis to the table, and Li Yifan scooped a spoonful of spring-like chopped coriander from the small basin on the table, and then scooped a spoonful of bright red oily chili noodles from the chili pot and mixed them into the haggis bowl. A bowl of red, fragrant, steaming haggis is displayed in front of you.

Chen Gang seemed to vent all his grievances in the morning to the offal, and after a while, a bowl of haggis was finished, and he held the remaining half of the baked food in his left hand, and shouted at the boss, "Another bowl." After shouting, he turned his head and said to Li Yifan, "The haggis in this house is fragrant, and you see that there is still a queue every morning." ”

"Isn't it! Their family has enough ingredients, and it is an old soup, and the three ingredients, three soups, and three flavors of haggis are in place. It's no wonder that business is good. ”

"Three ingredients, three soups, three flavors? Is there so much to say about an ordinary bowl of haggis?"

"Of course, haggis has a long history in Mobei City, starting in the old city of the Qing Dynasty. Haggis is made by mixing and stewing raw materials such as sheep's heart, liver, lungs, stomach, intestines, etc.

The main ingredient of the authentic whole haggis (also called three red) is the heart, liver and lungs, which are cut into dices or thin slices when the pot is made; A bowl of haggis, what you see is that the main and auxiliary ingredients are not complete. 'Chop three soups' have three soup bases: original soup chops, clear soup chops, and old soup chops. "Chop three flavors" is the three kinds of accessories on the table, where Mobei ** haggis on the table have these three flavors, that is, a plate of spring verdant coriander, a plate of bright red oil pepper noodles and a plate of white and crystal salt. This is a three-flavor seasoning that is indispensable for eating haggis. Eaters sit down, or love fragrant and refreshing, or like spicy and hot hemp, or good salty and tasteful. In short, you can mix the soup in the bowl according to your taste. Only when the 'three ingredients, three soups, and three flavors' are in place can you make a bowl of authentic chops. ”

The two of them chatted while eating, and drank a few cups of hearty brick tea, and left the chop hall with a happy heart.

"Where are we going next?" asked Chen Gang with a full hiccups.

"First go with me to the post office to send money to my cousin, then go to the Zhongshan Road pharmacy to see if we can rent a counter, and finally go to the printing house to print some promotional materials. Li Yifan said to Chen Gang while driving the lock. After speaking, the two of them rode to the Gulou Post Office.

In 1987, electronic bank money transfers were not open to individuals, and there were no bank cards, so people could only send money across regions in cash or post offices. At that time, Li Yifan could only remit money to his cousin through the post office.

Li Yifan went to the post office to fill in the form and check the identity certificate, and went through a lot of cumbersome procedures to remit 1,000 yuan to Beijing, and spent an extra expedited fee, otherwise it would take 4 or 5 days to get to Beijing, and Zhou Wenjie could receive the money the next day after spending the expedited fee.

After remitting the money at the Gulou Post Office, Li Yifan and Chen Gang rode along Zhongshan Road and went west to the Zhongshan Road Pharmacy to contact the rental counter.

Zhongshan Road Pharmacy is a division-level unit directly under the Beijiang Provincial Pharmaceutical Company. The business scope covers western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, medical equipment and other fields. It is the largest state-owned pharmacy in Mobei City.

When he arrived at the Zhongshan Road pharmacy and stored his bicycle, Li Yifan first went to the side grocery store to buy a box of Hongta Mountain cigarettes and a box of matches. At that time, the most fashionable high-end cigarette was not Zhonghua, but Hongtashan cigarettes in Yunnan.

Li Yifan took the cigarette apart, put it in his pocket, asked Chen Gang to watch the car outside, and walked towards the pharmacy alone. After entering the pharmacy and walking to the counter, I saw a sister in her 30s sorting out the goods at the counter, Li Yifan said hello, "Hello, big sister!"

"Well, young man, what's the matter with you?" the salesman asked, looking Li Yifan up and down.

"Eldest sister, I'm from the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research of the Capital Academy of Sciences, and I want to find your manager, is he there?" Li Yifan hurriedly asked.

"Ao, are you from the Pharmaceutical Research Institute? I didn't see Manager Liu come in the morning, or you should go upstairs to his office to have a look." The sales lady said with a smile.

"Sister, is he in that office?"

He entered the innermost room through the small door on the second floor. ”

"Okay, eldest sister, thank you!" Li Yifan turned around and walked upstairs after speaking.

I went up to the second floor and pushed open the small door, walked to the innermost office door, saw the door open, and knew that there was someone inside. Li Yifan raised his hand and knocked on the door, and heard a shout inside, "Come in." ”

Li Yifan pushed the door in, and saw a large desk placed in front of the door, and a middle-aged man sitting behind him, slightly fat, not much bald, with glasses, was looking up at Li Yifan who pushed the door in.

Li Yifan hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to introduce himself, "Hello! Manager Liu." I'm Li Yifan from the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research, Capital Academy of Sciences. ”

Manager Liu got up slightly and shook Li Yifan's hand, pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Please sit, what's the matter with you?"

Li Yifan took out a Hongtashan cigarette from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Manager Liu, who took the cigarette and put it on the table and said, "Xiao Li, sit down, if there is something, let's talk about it." ”

Li Yifan took out the information of Tian'an oral liquid from the backpack in his hand, handed it to Manager Liu and said, "We have newly developed an oral liquid, and I want to rent a counter in our pharmacy to test sell it, I don't know if it will work?"

Manager Liu flipped through the information a few times and threw it on the table, "Our pharmacy is state-run, and the drugs are purchased and sold by the provincial company, and retailers are not accepted. I'm sorry, boy, you can try it at another pharmacy. Manager Liu opened his mouth to refuse.

Seeing that Li Yifan still wanted to say something, Manager Liu continued, "I'll have a while, and I will have a meeting, so I won't keep you more." With that, he stood up.

Li Yifan had no choice but to quit. The first business negotiation ended in failure.
