After the wholesale medicine came, Dongmei couldn't be idle for a moment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
With the confidence that she would win, she rode her bicycle and began to walk the streets and alleys selling popsicles as if she were selling popsicles in the summer.
Different from summer, in winter, the cold wind is unusually cold, Dongmei wears a locomotive hat, cotton jacket and pants, a mask, a scarf, and a labor protection shoe issued by the country, riding in the cold wind, at first glance, it looks a bit like a man.
Dongmei first came to the drill base, in an old village.
She pushed her bicycle from the east end of the village to the west end of the village, selling all kinds of pills.
Dongmei thought to herself, in this place where there is a shortage of doctors and medicines, she can bring so many medicines over, it is simply a charcoal in the snow, it must be very popular.
Sure enough, when Dongmei opened her throat and roared, the villagers gathered around.
An old man came over with a crutch, looked at the medicine bag on Dongmei's back and said, "Doctor, I have a terrible toothache, do you have any painkillers here?"
Dongmei took out painkillers from her backpack and said, "Uncle, if you have a bad toothache, it's best to go to the dental clinic and have your teeth extracted. “
The old man took the pills and paid Dongmei.
Unconsciously, Dongmei's first business was done.
After selling the first bottle of medicine, Dongmei became more confident in herself.
She simply pushed the cart in front of a tree, then spread a canvas on the ground, took out all the medicines in the backpack, and placed them on the canvas for everyone to choose and buy.
Although there are many people around the Dongmei medicine stall, there are very few people who buy medicine.
Everyone was watching and touching, but after reading and touching, they returned to their original place and put the medicine on the canvas.
Dongmei was very puzzled, obviously there was a shortage of medicine here, there were obviously people, runny nose, it seemed that the cold was very serious, but she took the medicine in her hand and looked at it, and did not buy it, could they not afford it, or did they have another hidden reason?
One morning passed, and Dongmei only sold a bottle of painkillers in the village closest to the base.
It wasn't until the people around her dispersed that Dongmei put away the canvas she had set up, and then rode to another village.
This village is a little farther away from where Dongmei lives, but it is more remote and lacks medical treatment.
In order to open up sales channels and sell her own medicine, as long as someone came to watch, Dongmei took the initiative to ask about her condition.
An aunt came over holding her stomach and watched Dongmei's medicine stall silently.
Dongmei asked her with concern: "Auntie, look at you holding your stomach, are you sick to your stomach?"
The aunt said with a painful expression: "I ate some leftovers, it's a little cold, and my stomach hurts badly." “
Dongmei immediately took out the stomach medicine for her aunt and said: "This medicine is specifically for stomach pain, take one tablet at a time, three times a day." “
The aunt took the medicine, looked at it for a long time, and put the medicine in its place, and had no intention of buying it.
Dongmei looked at the back of the aunt leaving, and the second monk was puzzled, not knowing what kind of medicine the aunt was selling in the gourd?
After a while, a woman with a cold came to Dongmei with her child.
Dongmei saw that the woman was snorting and sneezing, so she said with concern: "Friend, you have a cold." “
The woman said, "Yes, it's so cold, I'll catch a cold if I'm not careful." “
Dongmei took out the cold pass and said: "This cold medicine works well, you take it and take it, after a course of treatment, it is estimated that it will be fine." “
The woman, like the old woman, took the medicine, looked at it carefully for a long time, and then quietly put the medicine in place, took the child, kept the snot, and left with a sneeze.
Dongmei frowned, looking at the woman who was far away, she really couldn't figure out, why didn't she buy her own medicine?
To be honest, the cold is not expensive, it is the cheapest cold medicine, and it stands to reason that she should be able to afford it.
And just like that, the day passed quickly.
When Dongmei returned home before dark, she only sold two bottles of medicine, a bottle of painkillers, and a pack of stomach-strengthening tablets.
Such a result greatly exceeded Dongmei's expectations, which made Dongmei very disappointed.
The next day, Dongmei went to a more remote village.
These villages are located in the Loess Mountains, and they are not accessible by bicycle.
So, Dongmei locked her bicycle at the bottom of the mountain, carried the medicine bag alone, and walked the sheep intestine trail into the mountain.
Due to poor roads and inconvenient transportation, the villages in the mountains are extremely poor.
Some villagers' houses are simply dilapidated and are in danger of collapsing at any time.
Dongmei compared these villages in the mountains with the villages in the hinterland of Guanzhong, where she was born and raised, and found that it was simply a sky, always underground, and there was no comparison at all.
The reason for this, Dongmei analyzed, firstly, because it is generally mountainous, the irrigation is not good, it depends on the sky for food, there is no harvest, and there is still no way to compare with the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan.
Another important reason is that there are no roads here, not to mention motorized vehicles, even bicycles can't get in, so the local specialty potatoes, even if they are good, can't be sold.
Dongmei sighed, when will these villages be able to get rid of poverty and achieve food and clothing?
Dongmei felt that it might take twenty years, thirty years, or even longer.
However, what Dongmei did not expect was that with the advancement of the national poverty alleviation policy, in ten years, these villages have moved out of the mountains and lived in the city, completely changing the face of poverty and backwardness.
In addition, for some villagers who have been relocated not far away, the state has simply funded the construction of asphalt roads and even rebuilt houses, completely changing the appearance of the old area, which is poor and backward.
Dongmei was selling in the village, and soon attracted people of all ages to come out and watch.
After observing the appearance of some patients, Dongmei directly pointed out the condition and gave a prescription.
A woman with a very serious gynecological disease wanted to buy some anti-inflammatory drugs from Dongmei.
When she took the anti-inflammatory medicine in her hand, she began to repeat the situation that Dongmei saw yesterday.
Dongmei's eyes widened, and after watching the woman put down the anti-inflammatory medicine in pain, Dongmei decisively stopped the woman's hand and said, "Sister, your gynecological disease is so serious, there must be inflammation, and it needs to be reduced, if you can't afford this pill, I can give it to you now without money." “
However, even though Dongmei made the greatest concession, the woman still did not take Dongmei's medicine.
Dongmei couldn't think about it, chased after the woman and asked, "Sister, do you dislike that my medicine is too expensive, or do you think that the brand of this anti-inflammatory drug is not the brand of anti-inflammatory drug you want?"
Dongmei asked for a long time, and the woman finally gave the answer.
She was embarrassed and said, "Doctor, this is the first time you have come to sell medicine, we have never seen you before." “
Dongmei frowned, nodded and said, "Yes, it's the first time I've come to sell medicine, what's wrong?"
The woman looked Dongmei up and down and said, "We dare to buy the medicine of our acquaintances, and we are afraid that your medicine is fake......
Hearing this, Dongmei finally understood.
It turned out that the reason why the villagers didn't buy their own medicine was because they were worried about buying fake medicines.
The woman continued: "It doesn't matter if you buy counterfeit medicine, you can't cure your disease, but you're afraid of eating the dead?"
Dongmei hurriedly explained to the woman: "Eldest sister, I am a family member of the oil team, my family lives in the base of the oil team, the third row of the west bungalow area, the third bungalow in the positive number, my medicine came from the medicinal herb wholesale market on Hancheng Road in the provincial capital, there is absolutely no fake medicine, please believe me......"
Before Dongmei could finish her words, the villager woman left.
As she walked, she said, "You are the one who comes to sell counterfeit medicines, but you still sell counterfeit medicines......
Dongmei looked at the back of the villager woman who was far away, and she didn't know how to explain it, so she would believe in herself.
