Medical Affairs Office, Military Affairs Office.
Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei was sitting on a chair, looking at Jiang Chen with great interest. On the table in front of him were a few Chinese medicines and a scale.
Du Feifei, Xiao Ying, Elder Yang from the Health Care Department, Zhang Jingxiang from the Military Affairs Department, and the others were all gathered at the side.
"Old Yang, can you tell how much it is at a glance and catch as many as you want?”Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei asked.
Old Master Yang immediately shook his head." There will definitely be a deviation.”
Du Feifei and the others were immediately a little worried. In any case, traditional Chinese medicine gave people the impression that the older they were, the more powerful they were. Since Elder Yang had said so, how could they not be worried?
"Even Old Yang couldn't do it, yet you're bragging to me.”Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei looked at Jiang Chen with a smile." It's not too late to admit it now.”
Jiang Chen was speechless.
What could he say?
He couldn't say in public that Elder Yang was much weaker than him, right? That would be disrespectful to his seniors. He also couldn't shout at Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei that he was looking down on others and that he shouldn't bully the young and poor. If he really said that, he would probably be beaten up on the spot.
"I know you're not convinced, so give it a try. If you can do it accurately, I can approve any medical matters you want to do in the medical affairs office in the future.”Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei said again.
Oh?
Jiang Chen immediately became spirited. This was good. He liked it.
Swoosh.
Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei raised his hand and casually separated some of the Huangqi on the table. Then, he said," Tell me, how much is here?”
Jiang Chen looked around and said," Er Qian.”
"Weigh it."
"Yes."
The secretary beside him immediately picked up the scutellaria and carefully placed it on the scale.
Right?
Du Feifei and Xiao Ying tiptoed as they looked at the scale.
Not good!
Their expressions quickly changed because although the pointer was still shaking, it did not point to the number 10.
"See, what did I say? I knew you were bragging.”Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei looked at Jiang Chen with a smile." One coin is five grams. Two coins should be ten grams. Look at the difference. You're not going to tell me to round it up, are you?”
Sweat!
Seeing Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei like this, Jiang Chen suddenly felt like he was about to slap the villain in the face in public, but this was a commander, and he was only a captain. Although it would be very harsh. He was provoked, but he couldn't afford to offend him.
Hence, he turned to look at Old Master Yang.
"Just say it. The commander is not that kind of person.”Master Yang understood Jiang Chen's expression immediately, and he said with a smile.
What did he mean?
Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei sat up straight and looked at Jiang Chen in annoyance." Do you think I've treated you badly?" If you have something to say, just say it."
"Yes." " Yes, Commander," Jiang Chen answered. He then said quickly," We Chinese doctors usually use the old system. One yuan is about 3.72 grams, and two yuan is 7.44 grams. Take a look. Am I right?"”
Swoosh.
Everyone present quickly looked at the scale again.
That's right!
The needle really stopped at 7.5.
Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei's mouth twitched. He glared at Jiang Chen." Why are we using the old system? I suspect that you did this on purpose to trick me.”
Jiang Chen was speechless.
Didn't they say that nothing would happen?
"Commander, I can testify that Jiang brat didn't do it on purpose.”Elder Yang explained," Because the measurement system of Chinese medicine was changed at the beginning of 1979, and ancient medical books are written in the old system, traditional Chinese medicine likes to use the old system.”
The old system was 16 taels per catty. This was set by the Qin Emperor and was used until the establishment of the Fire Country. It was only in 1959 that it was changed to 10 taels per catty. However, the measurement of Chinese medicine remained unchanged. It was only in 1979 that the country issued a document to change it.
In the past, there were no scales. Traditional Chinese medicine also used a scale of 16 taels, which was called the 16 Golden Star Scale. It was formed by the Big Dipper, the Nandou Six Stars, and the three stars of Fu, Lu, and Shou. The purpose was to warn people who did business to be honest and trustworthy. Otherwise, one tael less would not be a blessing, two taels less would reduce their salary, and three taels less would reduce their lifespan.
Therefore, Jiang Chen had always felt that the ancestors were really wise. Even a scale could give them a philosophy of life, unlike now, when it was just a cold number.
Swoosh.
At this time, Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei took out a portion of the Angelica again.
"One tael or three coins." Jiang Chen said immediately.
The confidential secretary quickly grabbed the scale and quickly calculated it in his heart. Then, he glanced at the scale and nodded at Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei.
Right again!
Du Feifei and Xiao Ying couldn't help but clench their fists. If it wasn't Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei, they would have cheered.
Zhang Jingxiang, Tang Zou, and Zhang Ling from the Military Affairs Office were dumbfounded. They admired Jiang Chen to a whole new level, as he was too awesome.
"Not bad, not bad." Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei nodded repeatedly and then raised his hand to point." Get me the one with 1.5 yuan."”
Jiang Chen took a look. It was Plantago Seed, which was the seed of Plantago asiatic. It was commonly seen in the countryside. It had the effects of relieving drenching, relieving diarrhea, clearing heat and reducing phlegm. The old people in the countryside used to boil some of it into medicine.
This thing was smaller than a sesame seed and was not easy to catch.
Jiang Chen picked up some with his right hand and felt it for a while. Then he put down some more, and then he put the Plantago Seed he had picked up on the scale.
The confidential secretary had already calculated the number of grams. When he saw the needle stop, his eyes were immediately filled with shock. There was actually no mistake. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he really would not have believed it.
Amazing!
Even Master Yang looked at Jiang Chen in a different light. His technique was really amazing. He was even more experienced than an old Chinese doctor.
"Alright, you're not bragging. Now I believe you. Your eyes are indeed no different from an X-ray.”Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei also spoke up. There was nothing to see next. It couldn't be a coincidence. It could only mean that Jiang Chen really had the ability.
The others didn't know what X-ray meant, but Jiang Chen knew what it meant. Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei was obviously still trying to prove that he had discovered something unusual about Huang Ziting.
"Don't worry, I'll keep my word.”Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei was in a good mood. As a commander, it was a good thing that there were many capable people under him.
"Thank you, Commander." Jiang Chen smiled too. In this case, his authority would be much greater than before, and he could do more things.
He thought for a moment and then said," Right, Commander, I might ask you to approve some medicinal herbs in a few days.”
"Just look for the logistics department." Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei said. He was very busy. How could he have the time to care about medicinal herbs?
" It's gold," Jiang Chen explained." I need your approval.”
Gold?
Lieutenant General Gao Shiwei looked at Jiang Chen. He always felt that Jiang Chen was bullying him because he didn't know medicine, but after what had just happened, he became more cautious. If he wasn't careful, he would fall into a trap. So he asked Jiang Chen directly," What are you doing?"”
The others were also curious about what Jiang Chen wanted gold for.
