Take the bus to get off at West Street, walk two hundred meters forward, and you will arrive at the door of Baode Pharmacy.
This is a somewhat old three-story building with a few traces of patina. It has a black glazed tile roof, bucket arches and flying eaves. Five gilt characters of "Baode Traditional Chinese Medicine" are hung on one side. On the lintel of the building, these words are flamboyant and unrestrained. It is said that Lin Baode wrote them himself.
In this three-story building, the place where "medicine" is actually sold is the first floor, the second floor is the clinic, and the third floor is his own home.
Naturally, Lin Baode would not come out to sell "medicine", he hired someone to take care of it here.
Zhao Rui walked into the pharmacy, and a strong smell of medicine came to his face immediately.
The area of the pharmacy is less than 100 square meters. A long cabinet with a height of half a person divides the hall into two parts. Inside the long cabinet is a semi-open pharmacy. A row of large medicine cabinets almost touch the ceiling. , a few pharmacists in their fifties, wearing short-sleeved white coats, were taking medicine from the small compartment of the medicine cabinet according to the formula.
Outside the long cabinet are patients queuing up to get medicine.
It was lunch break time at this time, and relatively fewer people came to the pharmacy to get medicine, so the pharmacists didn't seem particularly busy.
Zhao Rui felt that he came at the right time. If it was later, these pharmacists would be too busy, and they would probably refuse to talk to him.
Staring at a pharmacist who looked more relaxed, he walked over, took out the golden ginseng prepared in advance, and handed it to the pharmacist, while the snow ginseng was still placed in the Qiankun ring, no rush Let it show up.
"Master, I have a ginseng root here, can you help me identify the age of the ginseng?"
The pharmacist glanced at him in surprise, then glanced at the ginseng in his hand, and frowned.
He didn't know how many ginseng he had seen, but he had never seen any ginseng that was light golden in color. He didn't need to look closely to tell that this ginseng was definitely a fake. He even had some doubts that the young man in front of him was a liar, and he might even use a fake ginseng to fool people.
If this is the case, it is obvious that you have found the wrong place, and you don't have any real skills, so don't even think about working in Baode Chinese Medicine.
The pharmacist thought so, and said to Zhao Rui in a cold tone:
"Without such a reference, it's a fake and worthless."
While talking, he waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly.
I thought it was a fake ginseng!
Zhao Rui was a little angry. Although he couldn't confirm the age of the ginseng in his hand, he was sure that it was a treasure, and the pharmacist in this pharmacy was completely ignorant, which only showed that he had a name for nothing.
I looked at the other pharmacists, and found that they all looked at me suspiciously.
Zhao Rui was very disappointed. He originally thought that Lin Baode's reputation was so good that the pharmacists under him should have some real skills, but he didn't expect them to be so ignorant.
He even suspected that even if Lin Baode came in person, he might not be able to identify the ginseng in the Qiankun Ring.
Forget it, I'll go back first, anyway, I have ginseng in my hands, there is always a time to figure out its effect.
Thinking this way, Zhao Rui turned and left the pharmacy.
Just as Zhao Rui went out, an old man with white beard and white hair and reading glasses came down from the second floor.
When the pharmacist in the pharmacy saw him, he quickly bowed down respectfully and said hello: "Old Lin, you are here."
This old man is Lin Baode. Although he no longer helps others to see a doctor, he has to go to the pharmacy every morning, noon and evening. This has been a habit for many years.
Lin Baode has a weird temper, but generally he doesn't get angry with others. Generally speaking, he is still kind. If in the past, after these pharmacists greeted him, he would nod his head and sometimes chat with them, but now he But he was very preoccupied and didn't express anything.
This was because his wife, who had been with him for many years, suddenly had a severe stroke and was dying.
Stroke is a disease that is more common in middle-aged and elderly people.
But this kind of common disease has acute onset and high fatality rate. It is one of the most important fatal diseases for human beings. The usual mortality rate is between 50% and 70%. , the greater the chance of death, no matter whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, there is a lack of effective treatment measures.
Lin Baode's wife was about the same age as him, and was of an advanced age. She had little hope of surviving a severe brain stroke, but with Lin Baode's superb medical skills, he rescued her abruptly and saved his wife's life.
However, due to severe damage to the nerves and blood vessels in the brain, his wife was paralyzed in bed, unable to move, and even lost the ability to speak. She was unable to take care of herself in daily life and needed others to take care of her.
Lin Baode and his wife have spent decades of ups and downs hand in hand, and their relationship is very deep. In addition, he bears the name of a miracle doctor. Naturally, he very much hopes to heal his wife and regain her ability to move.
However, the repair of brain nerves and blood vessels has always been a major problem in the medical field, and there are no particularly effective drugs for treatment.
So, he did it himself, devoted himself to research, and spent a long time relying on his many years of experience in medical practice and some formulas handed down from his ancestors, and finally formulated a secret formula for treating cerebral apoplexy!
The problem is, this secret recipe lacks the most important "medicinal" ingredient - Millennium Ginseng Emperor!
Now the world's resources have been over-exploited. It can be said that natural materials and earth treasures like the Millennium Ginseng Emperor are extremely rare and almost extinct. The longest ginseng on the market is only five hundred years old, and it is still stored in In the Chinese Museum.
Lin Baode's ancestors practiced medicine for generations, and he himself has practiced medicine for decades. His savings are quite rich. In addition, he has treated many wealthy people and officials. As long as he asks, those people are willing to contribute money. After all, everyone has three disasters and two diseases When he was young, he sold his favor to old doctor Lin, so that if something happened to him in the future, he would have an extra guarantee.
Because of this, Lin Baode never lacks money on hand.
But the problem is, even if you have the money, it is difficult to buy such a treasure as the Millennium Ginseng Emperor!
Because, no one will sell such an important rare treasure!
Without the millennium ginseng emperor, the secret formula formulated by Lin Baode will not work.
Seeing his wife who has been in trouble for decades, getting weaker day by day, but he is helpless, Lin Baode is naturally very uncomfortable in his heart, but he also knows that he has tried his best. Is helpless.
