Deputy Director Han Yi came forward to coordinate, and soon four off-road vehicles came, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the road is muddy and difficult to walk in recent days, ordinary vehicles can't enter the mountain at all, even if it's an off-road vehicle, they can't go deep into the hinterland.

Rui Lei and Su Tao sat in the same car, introducing the situation on the front line, "Now the local government has arranged a special epidemic control team, there are almost more than 30 people, and Qishanling Village is more than ten miles away from the market town, so these patients have not been transferred, and all of them are in the local mountain villages for blockade treatment." ”

Su Tao said bluntly: "You are also afraid of the spread of the epidemic, right? When we arrived in Rongquan City, we had to purchase medicinal materials, because the distance was relatively far, so many medicinal materials were not brought. Please also help contact the larger pharmacy in Rongquan City, we may need some medicinal materials, which are more difficult to find. ”

"One small thing! In this case, you give me a list now, and arrange for someone to prepare it immediately. It takes more than two hours to get from here to Rongquan City, and they can prepare while we are on the road. By the time it came, they were almost ready. This saves time. Rui Lei proposed.

Su Tao nodded and handed the list that had already been written to Rui Lei.

After learning from his previous experience, Rui Lei knew that Su Tao was not small, so he dealt with it carefully, and then called the Rongquan Municipal Health Bureau and asked them to hurry up and deal with the matter.

Yundian Province is located on the plateau and has not yet penetrated deep into the mountainous area, and several of the team members have already developed uncomfortable symptoms. Su Tao had already made arrangements and prepared some medicines, which eased his symptoms after taking them.

After arriving in Rongquan City, Su Tao immediately checked the medicinal materials, put some atractylodes on the side of his nose and sniffed it, shook his head and said, "Director Rui, there is something wrong with these atractylodes. ”

The staff member in charge of procurement next to him hurriedly said: "This is the medicinal material purchased from the best Chinese medicine pharmacy in our city, and there will definitely be no problems." ”

Liao Huashi also observed the atractylodes, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This atractylodes slice is also a little too big, at first glance, it is made with chemical fertilizers, regardless of the medicinal value, I am afraid that people will have problems if they eat it." ”

Rui Lei glanced at the staff member lightly and said, "You call the person in charge of the pharmacy over, if he doesn't explain the situation, we won't use this batch of medicinal materials." I will arrange for the province to send medicine over. ”

The staff didn't expect these people to be so serious, so they hurriedly made a call to the person in charge of the pharmacy.

The person in charge of the pharmacy had a good relationship with a certain leader of the Rongquan City Health Bureau, and when he heard that someone from the province needed a batch of medicinal materials, and the order volume was very large, he contacted the medicinal material merchant and urgently sent a batch of medicinal materials. According to the normal situation, there are also relevant standards for medicinal herb merchants to supply medicine to Chinese medicine stores, and such obviously inferior atractylodes will never be put on the shelves for sale.

But when he heard that it was a medicinal herb purchased by the government collectively, the merchant saw that he had abandoned his righteousness and got a batch of Pinbaizhu to come over.

They also didn't expect that Su Tao's gang was not so easy to fool, and after getting out of the car, instead of going to the hotel where they had already arranged to stay, they checked the medicinal materials first, originally thinking that they could make a windfall, but it turned out that there was nothing to hide.

The person in charge of the pharmacy also knows that this batch of medicinal materials is suspected of being shoddy, but he often takes this kind of government order, and he turns a blind eye, where can he be so serious?

Liao Huashi's personality was more direct, and he angrily pointed at the nose of the person in charge of the pharmacy and scolded: "Do you know what this batch of medicinal materials is for? The misuse of inferior herbs may worsen the condition. You unscrupulous businessmen, do you still have a moral bottom line?"

The person in charge of the pharmacy was embarrassed by the scolding, and said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, I'll arrange someone to replace it with you later, and ensure that there will be no similar problems again." ”

Su Tao sighed secretly, this is the social reality, if you are in Huainan, you can use the relationship of Sanweitang to transfer some high-quality medicinal materials, but now that you are far away in Yundian Province, there is no other way, you can only continue to entrust them to procure, and then carefully review the quality of the medicinal materials yourself.

"The medicinal materials on this list and the expenses incurred are all borne by our Qihuang Charity Foundation. The price is easy to say, but be sure to give the best herbs. Because these medicinal herbs are related to the lives of many people, please be careful. ”

The person in charge of the pharmacy was full of sweat on his head, nodded and said, "I'll go and contact the pharmacy quickly, and there will definitely be no similar problems." ”

Rui Lei observed Su Tao and the others on the side, and found that they were so dedicated, and sighed secretly in his heart, feeling guilty for the previous snubbing.

The epidemic situation in Qishanling Village is very serious, and it is said that in addition to the villagers, many medical workers arranged by the city have also been infected.

The medical staff all have a certain knowledge of epidemic prevention, and they have been infected, which shows that the epidemic is very contagious and the transmission route is also very wide.

"President Su, just now you mentioned the issue of the cost of medicinal materials, please rest assured that the Department of Health will bear all of them. Rui Lei secretly thought that he still had this power.

"Director Rui, our Qihuang Charity's medical assistance this time is a gratuitous action, and the funds are relatively sufficient. Su Tao said lightly.

Rui Lei sighed secretly, knowing that the reason why Su Tao said this was because he was worried that someone in the government would charge kickbacks in the process of purchasing medicinal materials, and if Qihuang Charity paid in his private name, it could indeed dispel some people's bad intentions.

"Then do as you want!" Rui Lei smiled awkwardly.

If you change to normal, in today's situation, just turn a blind eye and forget it.

Now that the situation is urgent, there are still people who have the idea of making money, which makes Rui Lei sigh secretly, the health system of Rongquan City is even worse than rumored, and it is a veritable mess.

"The Anderson team hasn't set off yet, and they're preparing equipment and medicines like you, do you need my help to meet you?" Rui Lei hesitated, but still took the initiative to ask.

"No need, let's meet again in Qishanling Village!" Su Tao waved his hand directly and politely refused.

He is also a dignified person, and he was naturally unhappy to learn that Anderson asked the Provincial Department of Health to prevent them from participating in the rescue, but as a team leader, he couldn't show it on his face, which would damage morale.

"It's lunch time now, people are iron and steel, let's have lunch and then leave for Qishanling Village, right?" Rui Lei said with a smile.

Su Tao glanced at the people around him, and sighed secretly, considering the arduousness of the action, he chose people who were physically more compulsive, but now most of them showed fatigue on their faces. He nodded at Rui Lei and said, "Just arrange a simple working meal." ”

Rui Lei breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I'll arrange it!"

said that it was a working meal, but for Rui Lei's face, the people from the Rongquan City Health Bureau did not dare to slack off, and arranged a ten-yuan box lunch to pass away. They set up a relatively sumptuous lunch at the best hotel in the city, and the city bureau chief was also present in person, except for the Qihuang Charity, Anderson's team sat at another table, a total of eight people.

Anderson originally thought that Su Tao and the others were local government workers, but when he learned that the other party was Qihuang Charity, who had previously requested that he be forbidden to participate in this rescue activity, his face immediately became extremely unhappy and gloomy.

Rui Lei pondered that these two teams of people were all coming for the epidemic that occurred in Qishanling Village, although they did not belong to the same camp, there was no need to make too much trouble, so he took the initiative to ask Su Tao to greet Anderson.

Su Tao pondered that he was a guest from afar, after all, he abandoned the boundaries of the country to treat his compatriots, so he went to another table with Rui Lei.

Rui Lei introduced Su Tao's identity to the side, and Anderson's female disciple Qiao Xue also translated on the side.

Anderson's face was ugly, and he said unhappily: "I have heard that you have Chinese medicine in China, but it is a backward medicine in the world. In my opinion, it is very foolish for them to go into the epidemic area this time, not only will they not bring any value to those poor patients, but they will also suffer from it. I think that in this emergency moment, there is no need to behave so righteously, it is a wise choice to recognize your own strength and position, and not to cause more trouble to others. ”

Su Tao calmly waited for Qiao Xue to finish translating, and said slowly: "Tell Mr. Anderson for me." I have a lot of respect for his coming from afar to help my compatriots, and it's very touching. However, because they ignore Chinese medicine, I want to make a bet with him! The bet is very simple, that is, who will be the first to cure those patients. ”

Anderson listened to Qiao Xue's translation of Su Tao's request, and laughed: "What an interesting young man." Well, if you win, I'm willing to take back what I said and donate $1 million to the charitable foundation you founded. If I win, all you have to do is apologize from me. ”

Su Tao shook his head and smiled: "The bet is a little unfair. Although I won't lose, I still have to make an agreement with you in advance that if you win, I will also give you a million dollars. ”

Anderson's eyes lit up and he smiled: "I appreciate your self-confidence." However, if you lose, don't cry?"

Anderson didn't believe that he would lose to a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, especially since he was still studying Chinese medicine! Anderson also tried to find a cure for viral diseases by starting with Chinese medicine, but with little success.

In his opinion, Tu Youyou, a Chinese who won the Nobel Prize before, was inspired to extract artemisinin from Chinese herbal medicines, which was just an accident.

As for the use of Chinese medicine to cure epidemics, in Anderson's view, it is just hearsay, and traditional medicine often has some difficult reasons to explain, and it is completely contrary to Anderson's values to generalize about them.

In fact, with his status in the medical field, he would not care about Su Tao at all, but he just felt that he was interested.

After Su Tao and Anderson had initial contact, they didn't have too many bad impressions of him, and the reason why they prevented him from entering Qishanling Village was because he was worried about their strength.

From another point of view, when I encounter a rescue team that I am not familiar with, I will also persuade the other party in this way.
