Those things

Because it is occasionally necessary to advise patients to take some Western medicine at the same time, Taibai Lao'er will come to me from time to time to borrow a computer and check some relevant information. Of course, he doesn't know how to use computers, and all the information is written in a notebook by him in advance, and after some explanation, he writes down the relevant information to the small book he brought, just like a primary school student doing homework, and seems very serious.

I still remember the first time he came to our house. He didn't bring a notebook that day, but said that he wanted to check the difference between the names of the two drugs in the sense of usage in China and abroad.

Just as we were talking, the phone rang outside, so I ran out to answer the phone. When I came back, I saw Taibai Lao'er looking at the computer screen with a happy face, and one hand was still tightly holding the mouse and dragging it over. I wondered what happened to this old man today? Why did you suddenly become interested in computers? So I asked him what he was doing, what was so funny.

Taibai Lao'er didn't raise his head, and continued to pull the mouse to the left and right, and asked while busy: What's the matter with this thing? Why can't you pull it out of the frame no matter how much you pull it?

Another time was when I gave him a rough explanation of the development process of Western medicine in our country, and told him that Western medicine is relative to traditional Chinese medicine, which is generally synthesized by chemical methods or extracted from natural minerals, the more common ones are aspirin, penicillin, painkillers and so on...... As I was talking, my eyebrows fluttering, and when I looked back, I realized that he was staring at somewhere on the screen without moving.

I asked him what he was looking at, did he remember what he just said?

He said it's okay, you keep talking, I've been listening carefully and I've written it all down......

As soon as I turned around, I heard him seem to be muttering to himself: It's strange, why can't you stop dancing for a long time?

I asked him who he was talking to, and he pointed to my QQ avatar and said: Look, you see, this guy doesn't know he's tired at all, and he's been dancing for almost half an hour.

I couldn't cry or laugh, so I had to click on it with the mouse to check, and as soon as the chat interface popped up, Lao Er was shouting again: Hey, it turned out to be yours? It's quite obedient, and it won't jump when you click it; Where did you buy it? How much does it cost?

Another time was when I told him about the deeds of famous doctors in the past dynasties, such as Shennong, Li Shizhen and so on. When it was said that Shennong did not hesitate to try various herbs in person in order to master the medicinal properties of medicinal materials, and almost died, Taibai Lao'er smiled evilly. I asked him what he was laughing at, and he said that this person was really good, and he didn't even want his life in order to be famous.

No, he's here again today, still with that almost moldy notebook.

That notebook was given to him by the Jade Emperor that year, and it is said that it was in recognition of his contribution to the cause of alchemy. From then on, whenever there was anything important and needed to be recorded, Taibai Lao'er would definitely bring it. I don't know if there is any boasting. I once persuaded him that this book was about to turn into ashes, and if he didn't change it in time, he estimated that even the previous records would have to be thrown away. Lao Er said that he was not afraid, he put it next to the alchemy furnace every night for edification, and so far it has been "inviolable", even if it falls into the toilet and scoops it up, it can still be used.

As soon as he said this, I was speechless.

This time, Taibai Lao'er asked me to help him explain aspirin and penicillin in detail, saying that the previous explanation was not detailed enough, and he didn't figure it out thoroughly when he went back. I was thinking about it because I was inattentive and forgot to take notes when I was explaining to him earlier. But anyway, if you have time now, you might as well follow along. So I first searched for aspirin information and told him in very popular terms.

I told him that aspirin was not invented by a scientist and that it could not be attributed entirely to the German Felix Hoffmann. Because Frédéric Gérard had already invented a similar drug, but Félix Hoffmann had optimized it and carried it forward. It was also under the guidance of his Jewish teacher, Artur Eshinggreen, that Felix Hoffmann completed the entire invention. However, because Germany was under the dark rule of the Nazis at the time, and the Jews were being persecuted like never before, there is no mention of Artur Eichinggreen's invention...... The inventors of aspirin, as they are referred to today, are only lucky enough to come out on top.

As soon as I finished speaking, Taibai Lao'er shouted: I just said that Westerners are not as good as Easterners, you see, they need several people at the same time to invent a medicine in the West, and our Chinese medicine is all invented by a single person......

I asked him if he had any questions, and he thought for a moment before saying, "Why do foreigners' names be so long?" Short is not enough? It's hard to remember.

Then I introduced him to penicillin, which was first discovered by a man named Alexander Schiffleming, and by chance. Penicillin crystals were later extracted by freeze-drying by Australian pathologist Flory and biochemist Chin Chan. Because it has a wide range of clinical applications, it has become an indispensable drug in the pharmaceutical community......

In the end, I asked him if he understood, Taibai Lao'er said Bajie, where did you buy this thing, why does it know everything? I'll buy one another day, too!

I don't know where the white bone spirit got the news, I heard that the fourth floor of the hotel is still empty for the time being, and no one has contracted yet, so she said that she wants to come and have a look, and if she is satisfied, she wants to charter it.

I was afraid that Sister Qing would be suspicious and think about the original situation, so I mentioned it to her. Sister Qing said that since people are here to cooperate, what can we say? Who is the bag to not be a bag? It's better to give it to someone you know, and it's easier to talk in the future.

I'm thinking about my sister who is probably enlightened, why haven't I seen her so generous before?

On the day the white bone spirit came, I deliberately asked Sister Qing to talk to her, and I stood aside as a "backup", and only added two sentences when necessary, just like my identity in the team when we went to the West to learn the scriptures before, it belongs to the substitute.

This kind of thing can't be done without substitution, otherwise I'm afraid I won't even have the opportunity to "play" next time.

I asked if the White Bone Spirit was still haunted by the rumors? In that case, it would be too worthless. The white bone spirit said, Brother Pig, where do you want to go? This decision has nothing to do with those rhetoric. When the white bone spirit called me Brother Pig, I leaned back on the sofa and looked at Sister Qing with a very honest look. I just want her to know: Even if we call each other brothers, it's actually nothing, and our relationship is as innocent as my eyes now.

I thought about it for a while, could it be that she wanted to come to a building near the water because of the thing she told me about the master before, and now she wants to come to the building near the water and get involved with her? In that case, it would be more troublesome, because I didn't tell her the truth at all, and I don't know how she would react when she found out the truth.

Just as I was about to get closer to this question, Sister Qing asked in a more direct way, saying that she was doing a good job there, why did she suddenly come up with it again? Bai Gujing said that she had only heard from people about how close the relationship between other secretaries and her boss was, and she didn't believe it at first, thinking it was a rumor of slander. It wasn't until a few days ago that she experienced a "frightening journey" that she realized that articles such as "The Secretary is Not Suitable to Be a Wife" were not written by others out of nothing, and the actual situation is likely to be like that.

Here's how it all happened.

That day, the boss of the White Bone Essence asked her to accompany him to a party. In the past, they often attended similar gatherings together, and they were all business partners; So this time, when the boss brought it up, Bai Gujing was not surprised, and naturally agreed.

The car did not go in the direction that the boss had told beforehand, but drove towards a highway. The Bone Spirit asks the boss why he changed his plans? The boss said that several other people thought that the small town was not fun, and they wanted to go to a big nearby city to see and see, so they changed their plans temporarily.

After a period of bumps, the car drove to the door of a restaurant. The boss said that they had booked a large guest room, and that they were going to party there later, and asked the Bone Spirit to go up and prepare first, and he would pick up a few other people elsewhere. After saying that, he gave her the key and drove away.

After a while, there was a knock on the door outside. Thinking that the guests attending the party had arrived, the Bone Spirit hurried to open the door. There weren't a few people outside the door, but only a single boss.

The Bone Spirit asked what about the people? Isn't it coming?

The boss took off his clothes as he entered the door, and said that we could have a party without them, and glanced at her meaningfully.

The Bone Spirit didn't notice anything wrong at first, until the boss was shirtless.

The boss originally planned to take her to the field to "" her, but she didn't expect the white bone spirit to be beaten to death, and slapped her boss.

The white bone spirit said that she was ready for the worst that was going to happen next, and she would quit her job. But after thinking about it and not knowing what to do, some time ago she heard that my restaurant was still empty, so she wanted to come and see, if you agree, you will take the third floor, after all, we are acquaintances, and it is better to discuss anything in the future.

I remember that the old bone spirits were not so easy to bully; I remember that I wanted to touch her face, but she kicked her body hard, and the pain lasted for a long time before it subsided, why did I become a victim this time?

I thought it was caused by Taibai Lao'er's alchemy furnace, maybe the white bone essence became weak after it came out of the alchemy furnace.

But these words were all held in my stomach, and I didn't dare to say them.

It was Sister Qing who introduced the hotel situation to her, including how we used to get through when we were short of money; Later, she was also accompanied by Sister Qing, who took a look at the overall layout of the hotel and the decoration of the fourth floor.

As for the price, it was also single-handedly arranged by Sister Qing, but we negotiated it in advance; Acquaintances are acquaintances, after all, we also have to eat, so we have to earn her money.

It seems that Bai Gujing is still satisfied with the situation of our hotel, and said that she will come over to talk to us about the specific details after a while.

I don't know if the purpose of her trip does not include Master's factors, and I don't know how to explain Master's current situation to her in the future. Forget it, there is wine today and drunk today, let's talk about it when the time comes, there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain.

Somehow, plans to widen the river were put back on the agenda. It is said that the government has allocated a large amount of money specifically for this purpose. In order to allow larger tonnage ships to enter the Gaolaozhuang wharf to facilitate the transportation of residents and facilitate the further development of Gaolaozhuang in the future, their initial plan was to let the widening of the river and the construction of the secondary road start, but later said that the funds were not in place and could not be implemented as originally planned. Before, I was thinking about waiting for the hotel to open and have a "three happiness", but I didn't expect that the plan to run aground.

I have already told Senior Brother Sha the news, saying that this is a good opportunity for development. If his boat can be driven in, it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone, not only will it be convenient for our family to transport food in the future, but he can also get some business in the name of Zhu Bajie. So I told him to contact the dock as soon as possible so that he could occupy a berth.

I have already asked the relevant personnel on the dock, and they said that they have not announced the news to the public at present, and it is estimated that not many people know; When some internal personnel are determined, the remaining vacancies will be tendered from the outside world.

Before excavating the sediment in the river, construction crews had built a dam tens of meters high upstream of the river to temporarily hold back the water flowing downstream. During the day, the water is dredged up, and the water in the dam is released at night, taking away the loose sand and gravel during the day.

About half a month after the excavation, the construction workers fished out a glittering metal object from under the water, just like the legendary night pearl, which can scatter light in the dark. At first, I just heard from them, thinking that the gold bars of one family had fallen into the river and were now being fished up. But then they said it was not gold or anything like that, but the color of silver, but the texture was much harder than silver, and even a cutter could not do anything with it; Someone tried to have the only blacksmith in town burn it to see what it was, but after a day and a night the metal was still as hard as ever, and not even the slightest change in color.

This incident was rumored throughout Gaojiazhuang, and people speculated that it might be a machine part dropped by aliens.

Hearing what they were talking about, I decided to go and see for myself what such a mysterious metal really was. According to the people, the metal has been sent to the Gao family ancestral hall to be kept by the most authoritative local elders, in a transparent anti-theft glass case.

The ancestral hall of the Gao family, which is usually deserted, has now become overcrowded all of a sudden, and there are even people who come all the way to see it. The legend is that once you look at the metal object, you can cure the sick and strengthen the body if you are not sick. It has become almost an all-powerful holy relic.

It was noon when I went, and there were relatively few people; After finding the branch secretary directly, I explained my intention to him, saying that I wanted to see what kind of treasure they said was so amazing.

The secretary said that you came just in time, and I was about to call your house to teach you to come over; You've been in Heaven before, so you may be able to recognize it.

As soon as I saw the "holy thing" in the mouth of outsiders, my eyes immediately lit up, because that metal thing was neither a treasure like a night pearl, nor an "alien metal" that could cure all diseases, but a nail rake tooth on my old pig's nail rake.

You may find it strange to say that Zhu Bajie's nine-tooth nail rake has always been nine teeth? When watching "Journey to the West", Zhu Bajie also held a nine-toothed one in his hand, why did he suddenly drop one here?

That's right, my nail rake is nine-toothed, and the nail rake when I learned the scriptures is also nine-toothed; However, one of the teeth of the nine-tooth nail rake on the way to learn the scriptures was later hit by a blacksmith, and it was not as powerful as before. You may have to ask, then how did your nail rake lose a tooth? Why don't you pick it up and close it back together? If you want to explain these two issues clearly, it is really not something that can be explained in one or two sentences.

It is said that after Gao Laozhuang forcibly occupied Sister Lan, I have been living in a nearby cave. At that time, I was still a monster, doing some stealing chickens and dogs nearby, and I usually put the nail rake in the cave, and only went back to get it when I had to. It is said that one day the master led Brother Monkey to Gao Laozhuang, and Brother Monkey wanted to help Gao Laozhuang's people avenge my bad deeds after hearing about my bad deeds. So we fought in the open space outside Gao Laozhuang on a dark and windy night. Brother Monkey is naturally more powerful than me, and I will definitely not be able to win against him, not to mention that I still had a wooden nine-tooth nail rake in my hand at that time. I thought about going back, so I gradually led Brother Monkey to the outside of the Cloud Dipping Cave, and then took out the nine-tooth nail rake to fight him. I don't know if Brother Monkey used some spell or his golden hoop stick was originally harder than my nine-toothed nail rake, so after ping pong for a while, my nail rake's tooth suddenly broke. At that time, we were stepping on the clouds and fighting, just at the head of the Wushi River, and the broken nail rake teeth fell into the Wushi River. In the end, I lost, and Brother Monkey pressed me to see his master to see how to punish him. Brother Monkey's master is also my master, and it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who ordered me to wait here. Since they have become a family, they are exempt from punishment.

At that time, I originally wanted to go down to the river to catch the nail rake teeth, but the master blew in a hurry, saying that if there was one missing from the nine, it would be used in the future; Brother Monkey also followed suit, saying that he would talk about it when he was on the road. I thought that it was the first time we were with them, and we should give them a good impression, so I decided not to fish it for the time being, and came back when I had the opportunity in the future. I didn't expect this drag to be thousands of years, and I didn't expect that the nail rake teeth could still be preserved intact until now, which is really a miracle.
