Chapter 3 The Creation of the Times

After listening to everything his mother said, Hong Yanwu didn't say it for a long time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

First, he didn't expect his father to suffer so many sins and grievances, and second, the price of what is called "Frustrating Tiger Dragon" is really amazing.

Five thousand!

In an age where most people live on dead wages, what is that concept?

At that time, the average monthly living expenses of urban residents were only about 10 yuan, and the monthly salary of an adult could basically support a family of three.

The salaries of the two great men who had just become ancient were set at the third level of state administration, which was only 404.8 yuan. The salary standard for the military at the level of a large military region is 360 yuan. The highest level 1 salary for police workers in Beijing is 130 yuan. Among the working class, the highest salary for the eighth-level electrician with the best type of work is 103.35 yuan.

In addition, in 1977, China's GDP per capita was 186 US dollars, and according to the country's official foreign exchange exchange rate exchange standard at that time, 1 US dollar was exchanged for 1.4962 yuan.

That is to say, these 5,000 yuan is equivalent to the US dollars of that year, which is all the wealth created by the entire 18 Chinese people in a year, which can ensure that ordinary people can eat and drink without worry for decades. And this money, even if the top leader of the country at that time did not eat or drink, he would have to work for two years.

Even after 2010, there was a professor of Beijing Normal University who made an assessment of the gold content of the "10,000 households" that appeared in the 80s, and published an authoritative academic research report for this purpose, the professor believes that with the erosion of inflation in the past 30 years, 10,000 yuan that year is basically equivalent to the current "2.55 million"!

If measured by this standard, the value of 5,000 yuan in the 70s is at least equivalent to today's 1.5 million yuan, which is definitely a rather terrifying sky-high price!

So even Hong Yanwu, who once had a net worth of hundreds of millions, couldn't help but look uncertain and couldn't believe it when he heard it at this time.

So after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but express his doubts to Wang Yunlin.

"Mom, didn't you say that this Shou Jingfang and Dad have a vendetta? What is that 'Frustrating Tiger Dragon'? I've never heard of it! You said that he wouldn't be lying and falling into the ground, and wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail us, right?"

Unexpectedly, although Wang Yunlin couldn't say why, she was convinced of Shou Jingfang's medical skills and character.

She even told her son that if she had to choose between the hospital and Shou Jingfang, whether it was Hong Lucheng or her, she would firmly choose to believe Shou Jingfang. Hong Yanwu's father's illness can only be cured by Shou Jingfang, and there is a glimmer of hope.

As for the grievances of the year, it was not because there was indeed any fundamental conflict and contradiction between Shou Jingfang and Hong Lucheng, but because the times created and the world made people.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Yunlin gave Hong Yanwu a detailed introduction to the origin of Shou Jingfang and the Hong family.

Wang Yunlin had already told Hong Yanwu before that Shou Jingfang was a descendant of the Shou family of Tai Hospital. The Hong and Shou families have been dealing with each other since their ancestors co-founded the "Yan Shou Tang", and the cooperation between them can also be talked about intimately and harmoniously.

It's just that Wang Yunlin hasn't mentioned it yet, with the deepening of the relationship between the Hong and Shou families from generation to generation, by the generation of Shou Jingfang and Hong Lucheng, the two of them are not only good at themselves, but also grow up playing together. And the Hong and Shou families have an extra layer of in-law relationship.

Hong Lucheng's mother is actually the aunt and grandmother of the Shou family, so when it comes to it, the two still have a cousin relationship. If Hong Yanwu saw Shou Jingfang, he would really have to call him a cousin.

In addition, the Shou family has always had the heart to kiss again, Shou Jingfang's father Shou Yaoyu, and even thought about matching Shou Jingfang's sister Shou Xianglan with Hong Lucheng, but later Hong Lucheng fell in love with Wang Yunlin at first sight, and this family affair that had been mentioned many times in the mouths of the two families did not come to pass.

As for Shou Jingfang's medical skills, it naturally stems from family learning. Under the dedication of his father, he mastered many secret recipes of Qinggong Shou Pharmacy and Inner Pharmacy.

And he has been very talented in medical studies since he was a child. Since the age of four, he has been able to memorize "Tang Song" and "Medicinal Fu", at the age of eight he can prescribe prescriptions, and at the age of fourteen, he only relied on a silver needle to seek medical treatment and survived an emergency patient lying on the street.

This makes his father often show off to the outside world, saying that his son is a medical wizard who has not been seen in a century. accidentally got drunk, and even said in private, "If it weren't for the young age of my son, I'm afraid one of the four famous doctors in the capital would have to be replaced." ”

Such drunken words may be a bit excessive, but Shou Jingfang does have real learning, and his medical skills are superb and wonderful, and he is well-known in the capital.

Because he likes to ponder incurable diseases the most, and he loves to see diseases that cannot be cured by famous doctors. And over time, it has indeed cured a lot. So much so that many patients in the capital came to him at the last moment in order to get a chance of life.

In fact, this is precisely the smartest thing about Shou Jingfang.

Generally, this kind of patient has basically reached the point where it is time to prepare for the future, and the dead horse should be a live horse doctor. If it is not cured, it is also "life and death" and "powerlessness to return to heaven", and the patient's family is only grateful, and there is absolutely no way to find the account.

As a result, there were a lot of plaques in the Shou family back then. It is no exaggeration to say that the plaque of the Shou family has collected two whole rooms, and only the large plaques of "Wonderful Hand Rejuvenation" and "Qihuang Holy Hand" are lined up one by one, and they have to grow three pieces more than the alley where the Shou family lives.

Although these plaques cannot be eaten or drunk, they have another miraculous effect from a certain point of view, that is, they have raised the consultation fee of Shou Jingfang.

Don't look at the four famous doctors in the capital who need 80 oceans to diagnose a disease, and the price of gold bars is to be exchanged for longevity. In addition, the prescriptions he prescribed all required to take medicine from "Yanshoutang", so in fact, Shou Jingfang was probably the first doctor in the capital.

I think that now that the four famous doctors have become ancient, if there is still someone in the world who can cure Hong Lucheng, who is terminally ill and blind, there is probably only this Shou Jing prescription.

But since there is such a good doctor, why not invite it earlier?

To be honest, Hong Lucheng and Shou Jingfang have not been in contact for nearly 20 years, and they have broken off diplomatic relations. For the sake of this, it is quite helpless to say.

In 1955, as soon as the Hong family's catering store completed its joint venture, a cadre in charge of the pharmaceutical industry in the district came to Hong Lucheng for help.

learned that this cadre hit a big nail in the Shou family because of the joint venture of Yanshoutang, and came to him as a lobbyist. So, Hong Lucheng took the task to Shou's family to persuade Shou Jingfang.

Unexpectedly, after entering the door, as soon as Hong Lucheng brought up his intentions, this cousin, who had always been respectful to him, actually fell with him for the first time (local language, tantrums, extreme emotionality and provocative behind it). not only sneered at him for "managing too widely", but also belittled his "consciousness is too high" in a weird way, so naturally it was impossible to talk about it.

A few days later, Hong Lucheng came to the door again, and planned to have a good talk with Shou Jingfang calmly, so as to help him understand the situation and avoid him from suffering. But this time, Shou Jingfang completely turned his face, in order to keep his ancestral business, he not only threw the teacup with his eyebrows crossed, but also drove Hong Lucheng out of the house with a blushing neck.

When he was about to scold, he scolded him, "I can't care if you sell your ancestors of the Hong family, and the Shou family doesn't sell your ancestors." One sentence made Hong Lucheng embarrassed.

After that, Hong Lucheng, who had already tasted the hardships and knew the stakes well, thought about it left and right, and finally couldn't bear to sit and watch his cousin make a mistake, and after some hesitation, he went to the door of Dengshou's house again, but he didn't think about it, but he was hit by General Tie.

Since then, Shou Jingfang seems to have disappeared out of thin air, not only at home, in the store, but even at the homes of relatives and friends near and far, and he has not been seen again.

Hong Lucheng naturally understood in his heart that Shou Jingfang was planning to hide and not see anyone, probably when it was said that he would not be able to cooperate, and he was afraid that he would be able to find someone again.

This delay dragged on until 1956.

That cadre was pressed by the joint venture task, and he was completely forced by Shou Jingfang's hand, and he actually wanted to ask an acquaintance in the public security organ for help, and wanted Shou Jingfang on the charge of "fleeing with money and arrears of wages", so as to force people out.

After Hong Lucheng learned about it, he was afraid that the fake would come true in the end, and Shou Jingfang would not cause a big disaster, so he had no choice but to give advice to the cadres. He proposed that since Shou Jingfang did not show up, it was better to take the shares of the Hong family first, and take over the store after the district sent people to take over, and Shou Jingfang was too late to object.

This trick really worked, and on the third day after the district took over the store, Shou Jingfang appeared in the old shop of "Yanshoutang" located in Chongwenmen.

As soon as Hong Lucheng got the letter, he rushed away, but when he arrived, the new manager, who represented the official, was already arguing with Shou Jingfang.

Hong Lucheng inquired and learned that Shou Jingfang came from nowhere, with a body of dust and oil sludge on his head, and he scolded loudly as soon as he entered the store, not only blocking the clerks from moving things, but also stubbornly trying to drive away the newly sent personnel from the government.

The manager came forward to appease, although he tried every possible explanation but it was still useless, and he complained in his dissatisfaction, which roughly means that even the four major pharmacies in the capital have completed public-private partnerships, and you "Yanshoutang" should also actively learn from these pharmacies and strive for progress.

Unexpectedly, Shou Jingfang responded unceremoniously with a sneer.

"Then you go and ask them, can they do my 'Yanshoutang' business? Want me to learn from them? I think you're four or six don't understand, the whole mallet. ”

This vitriolic ridicule immediately made the old clerks laugh, the manager was probably a layman, although he was red-faced but did not know why.

Only then did the clerk explain to the manager.

Originally, ginseng village refers to a wide range of high-grade medicinal materials such as ginseng, deer antler velvet, and musk that can be sold with strong capital and long-term reputation.

In the pharmacy, it is recognized that the ginseng village is one level higher than other pharmacies that only deal in pills, creams, pills, and decoction pieces. In the entire capital, except for "Yanshoutang" and "Qingrentang", there is no other pharmacy that can hang the brand of ginseng mushroom. Even the Yue's family, "Qi Rentang", who was born as the mayor of the capital, is just an ordinary pharmacy.

After figuring out the key points, the manager was angered by Shou Jingfang's arrogance, and immediately grabbed the handle and said that he was "engaged in monopoly management". The verbal conflict between the two became more and more intense, and finally they hardened. If Hong Lucheng hadn't arrived in time, he would have really started if he couldn't figure it out.

However, Hong Lucheng's appearance also seemed quite embarrassing. Because he knew in his heart that he had stood on the opposite side of Shou Jingfang. And his advice, Shou Jingfang would not listen to it at all.

Sure enough, Shou Jingfang's attitude towards Hong Lucheng was extremely cold, not only turning a blind eye to his whole person, but also turning a deaf ear to his words. Then, he simply walked out of the street, sat on the steps of the gate, and blocked the door to prevent anyone from entering or leaving.

In this way, the manager was really anxious, jumping to beckon people, and wanted to force Shou Jingfang away from the cheater.

Hong Lucheng knew Shou Jingfang's stubbornness, and he was afraid that it would not end well if the conflict really intensified. In a hurry, he had no choice but to go out in person instead of the manager, beckoned a few familiar guys to take Shou Jingfang home together, and locked him in the room for three days to give him a "defeat".

Three days later, as soon as Shou Jingfang was released, he ran back to the "Yanshou Hall". But at this moment, the dust has settled, all the handover procedures of the store have been successfully completed, and even the signboard of "Yanshoutang" has been replaced with "People's Pharmacy".

Shou Jingfang could only hold the old plaque that he had asked for back, and said to Hong Lucheng who chased after him silently, "I knew that sooner or later......! You go ahead, you go positively, that's what you want, right?"

Hong Lucheng was guilty, knowing that he had hurt Shou Jingfang thoroughly. And he also had a deep understanding of this feeling, and he was speechless at all.

In this way, a huge emotional rift arose between their cousins, who never met again. Even when he was ************, Hong Lucheng asked his wife Wang Yunlin to visit Shou's family with food at a high price, trying to ease the relationship, but he only ran away in vain.

The gift Shou Jingfang confiscated, he only asked Wang Yunlin to bring back a cruel sentence, "The Shou family is starving to death, and they will not be in front of your Hong family."

After that, it's time for "Bittersweet Remembrance" and "Ten Year Movement". Hong Lucheng is not only too busy to take care of himself, but also because the composition of the two families is too "high", he is afraid that if he goes to the Shou family and has more charges of "private connection", no one will be able to get out. As a result, the heart of thinking about the ice release gradually faded, and I never bothered again.

Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin actually didn't think that they would have to meet Shou Jingfang one day in this life. I didn't expect that this time Wang Yunlin went, she didn't bother at all, and really invited Shou Jingfang. (To be continued.) )
