Chapter 359 Chapter 358: Beat chicken blood
After sending the letter, Tang Zhitong ordered another meal from the canteen of the Escort Department before going home.

"Mom, you've only been drinking for a day and a half, how can you expect such quick results?" Since it took some time to queue up for the food, when Tang Zhitong got home, classmate Xiao Wang was already there and was patiently persuading her mother-in-law.

"I heard people say that some doctors are effective after just one dose of medicine. Were we fooled? I think the doctor is quite young and a woman." Zhang Guifang is still stubborn.

"Mom, it is precisely because Dr. Lin is a female doctor that it is convenient to treat women. You don't know how much effort the city maternity hospital put in to hire Dr. Lin. Dr. Lin's master is an imperial doctor, and he was the personal assistant of Xuantong and Puyi in the early years. Doctor, this is just a disciple, he is a direct descendant." Xiao Wang was very concerned about his mother-in-law's condition, and he found out all about Doctor Lin's background when he went to see Lu Lixian last time.

Tang Zhitong also heard clearly from the outer door. As for the origin, if it weren't for Lu Lixian's help, he might not be able to appreciate it.

"Mom, take the medicine with peace of mind. Traditional Chinese medicine is not effective quickly. Even if there is medicine that can cure the disease, the price is not affordable for ordinary people like us." After Tang Zhitong entered the house, he also advised her.

"Why not? Your Aunt Qi from the back street came over today and told me about some kind of therapy over there in Hu County. She gave people a little chicken blood and they immediately became more lively. Drinking Chinese medicine for seven days cost more than three yuan, and our family is not short of chickens. I thought I could save a lot of money by giving it a try." Zhang Guifang expressed her thoughts.

"Is it chicken blood therapy?" Tang Zhitong was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Yes, yes, that's the name. It's amazing." Zhang Guifang nodded hurriedly. She didn't expect that her son actually knew this method.

"That thing is unreliable, so we won't try it." Tang Zhitong shook his head and refused without hesitation. He did know this treatment, commonly known as "chicken blood injection."

Aunt Qi lives in a courtyard in an alley next to the water station. When passing by the water station, Tang Zhitong chatted with Uncle Zhu who was watching the water station.

"How much money do they make? An injection only costs 20 cents, and they don't accept chickens from patients." Zhang Guifang muttered, insisting on her opinion.

A few years ago, my symptoms were very severe. I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with tuberculosis.

Rumors that injecting chicken blood can cure diseases have already spread to the capital, but in a while it will become even more evil. Injecting chicken blood can make people feel energetic. The captain of the transport team across the strait relies on injecting chicken blood to maintain his health and protect his health. Cure all diseases and so on.

Tang Zhitong prepared for the worst. If he couldn't get it back and someone was killed, he would be exempt from liability, both from a motive and a moral perspective. As for publicity, Uncle Zhu, the small speaker in the intelligence center, was the most suitable. of.

Decades later, injecting chicken blood meant giving people ecstasy soup to make them energetic.

"Then... your Aunt Qi exchanged a little rooster from our house, wouldn't it hurt anyone? Should I exchange it back?" Zhang Guifang had obviously been persuaded by her son and told the cause of the matter.

"Hey, give me the millet. I'll go to Aunt Qi's house." Tang Zhitong felt that taking chicken blood was a bit "life-threatening". Human life was at stake and could not be left alone.

"Mom, as far as our country is concerned, whether it is traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, the best techniques are in Sijiu City. Do you think the doctors in Hu County are better than those in Sijiu City? They are just making money with their reputation. Fight chicken blood That thing is a stress reaction and can cause allergies." Tang Zhitong was speechless and tried to persuade Zhang Guifang to give up the idea.

"What did Aunt Qi give you in exchange for it?" Tang Zhitong asked.

"Why is it so unreliable? Your Aunt Qi's relatives are in Hu County. They had her own treatment and she was cured the next day. I knew your Aunt Qi had a patient at home, so I wrote a letter to tell her." Zhang Guifang still thought to herself. If you don’t believe it, it looks like an old man using his mobile phone to forward short essays such as “A few things you must know” and “Shocked, it turns out that health care is so simple”.

"Really?" Zhang Guifang asked hesitantly after thinking about it.

"It's okay. You are just out of kindness to help your neighbors. You don't know that this therapy is unreliable, right?" Xiao Wang didn't know about chicken blood therapy, but that didn't stop her from trusting her husband.

"It's absolutely true. Can I still lie to you?" Tang Zhitong replied affirmatively.

Generally speaking, this disease is difficult to eradicate, but it can still be controlled with streptomycin.

"Did I do something wrong?" Zhang Guifang asked her daughter-in-law with a guilty conscience as she watched her son carrying the rice bag out.

Aunt Qi came to the Tang family not to spread rumors, but to exchange chickens and treat her father-in-law.

Having been a neighbor for several years, Tang Zhitong knew something about Aunt Qi's family. There was a father-in-law who was bedridden and had what the common people called "consumption."

"Sigh. A colleague from our unit came to Shanghai County and told me about chicken blood therapy. The inventor is a worker at Yong'an Cotton Spinning Factory No. 3. Even he himself said that this is just a health care therapy and cannot cure all diseases. You Think about it for yourself, can a worker be better than a doctor?" Tang Zhitong was at a loss and told his mother what he had heard and what he knew.

Today's chicken blood injection is a physical level of chicken blood injection. Fresh blood is extracted from the rooster's blood and injected into the patient's body.

"Eight pounds of millet. We have several little roosters at home. She picked the biggest one, which weighed two pounds and was tall. If I hadn't seen how pitiful she said, I wouldn't have changed it." Zhang Guifang regretted a little. You should not make your own decisions. You should wait until the child comes back to ask for his opinion before deciding whether to change.

After telling Uncle Zhu the whole story, Tang Zhitong went directly to the compound where Aunt Qi's house was.

It was a time for cooking and eating. There was someone in every household, which was considered a personal ID. In addition, Aunt Qi's family had tuberculosis virus, so Tang Zhitong had no intention of going in. He stood outside the door and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Aunt Qi!"

"Eucalyptus? What are you?" Aunt Qi went out and saw Tang Zhitong, and was stunned when she looked at the rice bag in his hand.

"Aunt Qi, my mother told you about your change of chickens today. I don't think it's appropriate. Come and tell you." People in the yard gossiped, those cooking were listening, and those eating came out with steamed buns to watch the fun. In front of other neighbors, Tang Zhitong explained the chicken blood therapy he knew again.

Thanks to the practice of shouting letters when he was a deliveryman, Tang Zhitong's voice was not high just now, but he made sure that his neighbors could hear him.

"Thank you, Yuzi. When the boss comes back, I will discuss it with the boss. If he doesn't fight, then we will stew the rooster and replenish it for the old man." Aunt Qi smiled and declined Tang Zhitong's proposal to exchange the chicken. I knew in my heart that I had somewhat gained an advantage in changing the chicken.

Aunt Qi didn't believe Tang Zhitong's statement at all. The person who told her about chicken blood therapy was her sister-in-law who worked in Shanghai. Could her sister-in-law harm her own father?

Aunt Qi just thought that after Tang Zhitong returned home, she felt that she had lost the millet, and she did not want to suffer a loss, so she wanted to exchange the rooster back.

"Oh, it's okay to eat. Don't hit me. Then get busy first. I'm going back." Tang Zhitong could tell from Aunt Qi's expression that she had no intention of eating at all, but she had already said that. , Tang Zhitong had no reason to continue to pester. After saying goodbye to Aunt Qi, he went home again carrying the rice bag.

"Didn't you change it back?" After returning home, Zhang Guifang asked when she saw the rice bag in Tang Zhitong's hand.

"They didn't change it. They said we would discuss it with my husband and just stew it and eat it. I can't say much." Tang Zhitong said truthfully.

"Wash your hands and eat first." Xiao Wang took the rice bag and put it on the table and gave way. "Mom, didn't you say that we don't have enough food at home and we need to process some chickens? Let's eat two." Tang Zhitong was afraid that in two days another neighbor would follow suit and come to the house in the name of replenishing the health of his elders. Exchange chickens with Zhang Guifang, and then get chicken blood.

It's only second that my family suffers a little loss. It would be a real sin to delay the illness.

This is not because Tang Zhitong is overly worried, but this kind of thing is very likely to happen!

As long as Aunt Qi's father-in-law's stress improves after taking chicken blood, someone will definitely follow suit!
The reason why chicken blood therapy has become popular in Shanghai County and even spread across the country is inseparable from this immediate stress effect. Even some local medical institutions will research and promote chicken blood therapy.

As far as the medical conditions in Shanghai County are concerned, everyone in the city is like this, let alone the rural areas. That's why Tang Zhitong prompted his mother-in-law to roundaboutly improve the medical level in rural areas.

"Okay, eat!" Zhang Guifang agreed immediately. She didn't even notice that she was actually not as aggressive as before when she spoke today.

"Ouch! Let's eat chicken! Let's eat chicken!" Fengzhi jumped up immediately when she saw her mother nodding.

"Stop shouting, be careful to attract thieves." Tang Zhitong slapped his sister's head and asked her to calm down.

"Euclidean, you can catch two little roosters when you go to school tomorrow and send them to Jingwen's mother to eat on August 15th." Now that she had decided to eat them, Zhang Guifang no longer hesitated.

"Send it over early on the fifteenth day. There is a building over there. If you send it there early, there will be no place to raise it." Tang Zhitong thought for a moment and said.

There were two chickens, which looked like a lot, but there really wasn’t much meat. These chickens had been raised for more than four months. They were skinned and deveined, which is about the weight of a baby chicken.

"That's okay. Let's eat at fifteen. I've long disliked those little roosters. They can't do anything. They come first in a fight and I'll eat them all this time." Zhang Guifang complained.

"Okay, eat them all." Tang Zhitong only felt that these roosters were noisy. They began to learn to crow early in the morning before dawn. The key is that the crows were not pleasant.

The last time I hatched the chicken, a total of ten eggs were stuffed. Except for one dumb egg, the others all hatched.

It is said that experienced people can tell whether a chick is male or female from the way it walks and the shape of its butthole. There are no such experts near the Tang family, so they can only keep them.

After the chickens are a little older, the gender can be distinguished, but the chicks are not big enough to eat yet, so they can only continue to raise them.

Fortunately, Tang Zhitong occasionally brought some small fish and shrimps and turned on a lamp to shine some insects to feed the chickens, so he didn't spend much extra food.

That's not possible now. Food is expensive, and if we don't feed them, it will be difficult for these chickens to grow any bigger. What's more, these little roosters can't crow, but they are good at fighting and laying down on the hens.

Originally, Zhang Guifang had the idea of ​​raising roosters for crowing. These days, many ordinary people's homes do not have clocks or alarm clocks. There are indeed neighbors nearby who raise roosters for crowing. However, these crowing chickens will soon be laid off.

The chime clock of the new train station has been tested for some days. There has been rumors a while ago that the new train station will be put into use before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the big clock will automatically chime the time.

The neighbors are very happy. This is a free prostitution clock. From now on, they will be treated the same as the people in the west of the city. They no longer have to rely on chickens to wake up!
Due to the escort and railway system, Tang Zhitong got more accurate news. The new station will be officially put into operation tomorrow, September 1959, 9. At that time, the clock above the train station will officially chime the hour.

The "Chengxi Bell Clock" as the neighborhood calls it refers to the tower clock of the Telegraph Building.

In the early days of the completion of the BJ Telegraph Building in 1958, the tower clock was chiming on the hour all day long. However, considering the rest of nearby residents, No. 2 requested that the tower clock chime time be adjusted from 7 a.m. to 22 p.m. every day. No time is told from night to early morning.

There are two pieces of music to tell the time, one is the first few lines of "Praise for New China", and the other is the first two lines of "The East is Red".

In a few years, only "The East Is Red" will be retained in time-telling concerts.

After eating, we chatted for a while and helped the sisters check their homework before the young couple returned to the wing.

"Hey, my class is going on an autumn outing this weekend." Tang Zhitong reported to Xiao Wang after entering the room.

"Oh, where are you going?" Xiao Wang asked casually.

"I haven't decided yet, but I think I'll have to choose the Badaling Great Wall." Then, Tang Zhitong told Xiao Wang about the content of today's class meeting.

"You are very thoughtful. I think you are suitable to be the squad leader." Comrade Xiao Wang covered his mouth and said happily.

"No, I thought it would be easier to go to university. Look, it's only been a few days? How busy are you already?" Tang Zhitong smiled bitterly and shook his head. Universities these days are indeed different from the ivory towers of the future.

"Can I follow you?" Xiao Wang asked instead of answering.

"Where are you going? Autumn outing?" Tang Zhitong was stunned. This was a group activity in the class. He didn't expect Xiao Wang to want to go.

"Yes, Qiu You, I haven't gone out to play for a long time." Xiao Wang took off the bun on his head, shook his head twice, and his beautiful black waves fell on his shoulders.

"Okay, I just want to go out and relax." Tang Zhitong agreed, and it was just a matter of telling Luo Zhiping to buy an extra ticket.

As for Xiao Wang, isn’t he from class 593? As a husband and wife, is it okay to bring along a family member?

Besides, it doesn’t cost the class a penny, it’s purely self-funded, so there’s no reason why it can’t be done.

"I'm kidding you, I'm going to take our mother for a follow-up consultation on Sunday." Xiao Wang sat next to Tang Zhitong, picked up a small bunch of hair, and naughtily swept it on his cheek...

"Okay, let's talk about it later." Tang Zhitong allowed classmate Xiao Wang to make a fuss. He probably understood that this might be because classmate Xiao Wang failed to see his classmates and declare his sovereignty when registering for school. Do not worry?
