Chapter 14: The Invitation of the Ancient Philosopher
Then, Luo Chen took her to a pharmacy not far away.
"This is the pharmacy of our time, but it is just to buy medicine, and there is no doctor. ”
Luo Chen explained to her, "It's not nothing, some stores also have doctors, but the main thing is to give you a professional drug purchase advice, and this advice will often increase your drug purchase cost."
Doctors, they all stay in big hospitals. ”
Cheng Lingsu looked at the magnificent building in front of him, smelling the strong smell of medicine, and seemed to be unable to react at once.
Luo Chen took her into the pharmacy, smiled and declined the clerk's help, and slowly looked around with her, introducing them one by one.
"These are medical equipment, more basic, stethoscopes, blood pressure monitors, blood glucose meters, and basic surgical instruments, scalpels, forceps, scissors, stitches, and so on.
This is the western medicine area, which we divide into cold, gastrointestinal, anti-inflammatory and other categories according to normal habits, and use drugs in a targeted manner.
The cold is the disease of wind evil entering the body, cold and heat, and the others also have their own expressions, so let's study them well when we go back.
Western medicine attaches great importance to symptomatic treatment, but for the overall conditioning of the body, it is inferior to our traditional Chinese medicine, but unfortunately, in this regard, traditional Chinese medicine is not very good, I don't know what the reason is. ”
Cheng Lingsu stopped near the Chinese medicine cabinet, smelled the familiar smell of medicine, and smiled lightly, "I don't know about other reasons, but the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is not as good as before, it is certain, the purity and efficacy of these medicines I smell are far inferior to our time."
Therefore, if you still use the previous prescription to treat, it will definitely not have a good effect. ”
"Can you smell this?" Luo Chen said in surprise.
"Well, this is something I have been exposed to since I was a child, although it is mixed together, but the difference in medicinal taste is still very big, for example, this atractylodes, at least two-thirds less medicinal effect, the year is not enough, it seems, it is not wild. ”
Cheng Lingsu said confidently, and when it came to the field she was good at, her spirit was flying.
"Yes," Luo Chen nodded, "We now have more than a billion people, and wild herbs are estimated to have long been extinct, all thanks to the planted, and the planted herbs, for various reasons, are far inferior to the wild ones, perhaps, this is also one of the reasons for the decline of Chinese medicine." ”
Cheng Lingsu nodded thoughtfully.
Coming out of the pharmacy, the two began to return.
"Now, you have a preliminary understanding of our place, right?" Luo Chen asked with a smile.
"Yes, the difference is too big, and the era when you don't need to worry about not having enough to eat, being safe, and seeing you when you are sick is really incredible.
Moreover, the building is so high, and it is not afraid of collapsing, and the car can run so fast. ”
"Yes, the world is changing too fast," Luo Chen also sighed, "I heard my parents say that in the eighties, everyone still couldn't eat, and it was only more than thirty years, and this is no longer a problem." ”
"Where is Brother Chen's home? is it from this city?"
"No," Luo Chen shook his head, "I'm here to study, my home is in the countryside, it's not too far from here, at the speed of this car, it's almost there in an hour and a half." ”
"Oh. ”
Before he returned to the dormitory, Luo Chen's phone rang, and it was Senior Brother Gu Zhe calling.
"Chenchen," as soon as he answered the phone, Gu Zhe's fleshy voice came, "What are you doing?"
"Can you please not call me Chenchen, it's too numb. Luo Chen said helplessly, "Outside, on the way back to the dormitory." ”
"Yo, a 10,000-year-old otaku, will you actually leave the nest?" Gu Zhe still said in a relaxed tone, "According to the normal situation, on your day off, you should sleep a lot, and then read books and surf the Internet." ”
"What's the matter, can't you?" Luo Chen said angrily, "What's the matter?"
"How can Chenchen use this tone to talk to senior brother?" Gu Zhe complained, "Your tone is not quite right, there must be something to hide from me, it can't be secretly in love, right? Why don't you tell me in advance? I have to help you check the gates, but I can't let you feed those hungry nurses." ”
"You're in love. Luo Chen glanced at Cheng Lingsu, not in love, but it can be regarded as dating, "Say, what's the matter?
"Of course there are good things to help you. Gu Zhe smiled very lewdly, "At six o'clock in the evening, see you in the old place, see you or leave." ”
It is estimated that he has pulled a group of beauties from the department out to eat again, Luo Chen has been pulled by him several times to make up the numbers, and he is called introducing his girlfriend to him, but how can those female doctors and nurses on the job look down on themselves?
Therefore, every time, he has become an existence that foils him, although Gu Zhe does not mean this, and he also defends him, but he can't decide people's hearts.
However, Luo Chen was still very grateful for his kindness, after all, he was sincerely good to himself.
After a deep groan, she glanced at Cheng Lingsu, she was looking at herself, her eyes were clear and focused.
It seems that it would be good to let her go to the event and get to know some people.
Thinking of this, he said, "Can I bring a friend?"
"Damn," Gu Zhe exclaimed on the other end, "I really said it? You really went on a date? Of course, a warm welcome, I want to see who can make the iron tree bloom. ”
"You're thinking too much. Luo Chen said with a smile, "Anyway, at six o'clock, we will arrive on time." ”
"Good. ”
Luo Chen hung up the phone and smiled with Cheng Lingsu, "Tonight, we have a big meal to eat, so we don't have to go back and worry about what to eat." ”
"Really?" Cheng Lingsu covered his mouth and chuckled, "I think it's okay to do anything, and it's good to cook and eat by yourself." ”
Luo Chen thought of the scene of the two eating together, it was indeed quite warm.
"Then we usually cook and eat at home, and I try to learn a little new cuisine. Tonight, let's go eat big. ”
"What is a big deal?"
"It's the rich, the rich, just like the salt merchants, the maritime merchants, and the big landlords of your time. ”
"Is there such a person here?"
"Of course, no matter when, there will be no absolute fairness, there will always be differences between people, just like me, at most, I can become a doctor, and my friend, born to be a rich second generation, we need to spend many times more effort to be able to catch up with their footsteps. ”
"At the very least, there's a chance to catch up with them, isn't it?"
"Indeed, at least we can change our destiny by reading, one generation is not good, the next generation continues, there is always this opportunity, one generation is better than the next, so when I think about it, the mood is much better. ”
"And you're not an ordinary person anymore, are you?"
"Yes, my destiny has changed because of your appearance, so I have to work harder. ”
"I will too. ”
