Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2523: Yang Bu, are you serious?
A week later, Yangjiazhuang.

Yang Xiaotao rolled up his sleeves and turned the kitchen knife in his hand in front of the stove. With two swipes, three white flowers were cut out of a piece of radish root under his hand.

Then he praised the radishes again, and did not stop until there were six white flowers on the plate.

Then he put down the kitchen knife, picked up the pot lid and sniffed it, frowned, and felt that the smell was not good enough, so he picked up the soy sauce bottle beside him and sprinkled some, then a smile appeared on his face.

"Perfect."

“This is the real braised carp.”

Yang Xiaotao looked very confident, as if the dish in the pot in front of him was the most delicious.

"Stay quiet for three minutes. Use this time to make some preparations."

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao walked over, picked up a piece of tofu, swung the Garuda knife in his hand, and then he became silent.

The next second, his right wrist shook slightly, and a residual image of the heavy Garuda sword appeared.

Three seconds later, Yang Xiaotao placed the tofu in a basin of water, and strands of silk began to ripple in the clear water.

“This tofu is good.”

patter
He put the Garuda knife into the system space, then picked up the ordinary kitchen knife on the table and started cutting the cabbage leisurely.

Only at this moment did Yang Xiaotao truly feel the benefits of becoming an eighth-level chef.

Ever since the last state banquet, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but upgrade his cooking skills to level eight.

And the final result did not disappoint him.

The first benefit I got was that I was given more every month.

In addition to the 50 kilograms of meat coupons per month, chicken eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs all became 50 kilograms.

Meat tickets are not a big deal, because the system has given a lot of meat every month over the years, and Yang Xiaotao has not used these tickets to "disrupt" the market, so most of them are kept in the space.

But these chicken, duck and goose eggs are of great use.

In the past, when I fed my children 20 kilograms per month, it was enough for them.

Later, I sent some to my father-in-law's family and some to the village, but it was not enough.

Now it has reached 50 kilograms. Although it is not much, it can relieve the pressure.

In addition, it was the ability gained from the eighth-level cooking skill that made him very happy.

The effect of cooking the food directly makes him feel the charm of delicious food.

That is something that no one, young or old, male or female, can resist.

That night, Yang Xiaotao showed off his cooking skills, and as a result, the whole family ate up all the food on the table.

When Yang Xiaotao woke up the next day, he felt a slight pain in his waist.

This is the charm of delicious food.

Especially for women who are conquered by delicious food, their charm is infinite.

Thinking of the contrast between his wife before and after eating, and the difference between day and night, Yang Xiaotao felt a little excited.

I clapped my hands and took a look at the system panel while waiting for the food to boil.

Exchange column: 5
Pets: Wood Elf, Chinese Pastoral Dog.

My eyes lingered on the redemption column for a moment, and all I saw were ordinary things, even the blind boxes were the most ordinary blind boxes.

I thought there would be good things in the first week of the new year.

Unexpectedly, there was none at all.

This also made Yang Xiaotao realize how rare it is that the first day of the year happens to be the first day of the week.

Instead of opening the blind box, Yang Xiaotao took a look at the credits.

I thought that the credits for upgrading cooking skills were not used much.

After all, at the beginning, only thirty credits were needed for level one, and four hundred and fifty credits were needed to upgrade to level five. In this way, level eight would require at most one thousand credits.

But I didn’t expect that I would be asked for 10,000 credits directly.

What an unexpected pitfall.

There is no pattern at all.

However, thinking about the changes brought about by the eighth-level cooking skills, whether it is the knife skills or the cooking temperature, or the processing of taste, the selection and matching of ingredients, as well as the attention to color, fragrance and taste, all make Yang Xiaotao realize what Chinese cuisine is, which is profound and extensive.

"These credits were not wasted."

Yang Xiaotao talked to himself, and at the same time wondered whether he should find a successor to pass on this skill.

"Dad, we are back."

Just as Yang Xiaotao was thinking, Miaomiao's voice came from the door, and then Duanwu ran into the kitchen, sniffed hard, and his eyes lit up.

"Dad, what delicious food are you making?"

Duanwu said this as he ran to the stove, full of anticipation.

"Don't move, you'll get burned."

Yang Xiaotao slapped the little guy's hand away, then glanced at him, "Did you finish the exam today? How was it?"

When it comes to exams, the smile on Duanwu’s face disappears instantly.

"Alright, not bad."

Duanwu stuttered, and it was obvious from his look that he was unsure.

"What do you mean okay?"

"Yes, I can do the math, but I haven't written a good story in Chinese."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became.

"Dragon Boat Festival, what about Dragon Boat Festival?"

At this time, the grandfather's voice came from the door, and Duanwu hurriedly turned around and ran out.

The savior has come.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head helplessly, ignored him, and turned back to cook.

Instantly, the aroma fills your nose!
The time is just right.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao packed up his things and took his grandfather to Sijiucheng to prepare for the New Year.

It is only a month away from the Chinese New Year. The school is on holiday, and it is cold in the village. In addition, Yang Xiaotao is worried about his great-grandfather because he is old.

So in recent years, I have been celebrating the New Year in a courtyard house.

After returning to Sijiu City, Yang Xiaotao settled his grandfather down. The winters in the past two years have been getting colder and colder. Compared with the winters decades later, it is completely different winters.

This also gave Yang Xiaotao an illusion that the space he traveled through was still the familiar world from his previous life.

Perhaps, this is not a world in itself.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao rested at home.

Although there are a lot of things to do near the end of the year, you still need to take a break when it’s time to rest and combine work and rest.

Unfortunately, just when Yang Xiaotao got up in the morning and read for a while, a figure ran to the courtyard in a hurry.

"Bu Yang, is Bu Yang here?"

"Teacher Ran, is Yang Bu here?"

"Study? Okay, sure!"

Yang Xiaotao was still reading a book in the study when he heard Wang Hao's voice coming from the yard.

Get up and go out.

Wang Hao ran over with an excited look on his face.

At this time, a group of people in the middle courtyard looked over with curiosity on their faces.

"What's wrong? Are you running in such a hurry?"

Yang Xiaotao spoke, and Wang Hao immediately stopped to adjust his breathing before speaking, "Yang, Director Yang, yes, it was Secretary Li who asked you to go back quickly."

"what's up?"

"He said that some international, patent-related delegation was coming and had already arrived at the airport!"

"Someone from the Ministry of Health has also arrived and is now staying in Ministry Nine!"

"He asked you to go back and take charge of the situation. He also said that the pharmaceutical factory should be notified to prepare."

Only then did Yang Xiaotao remember what his uncle had talked about with Li Rong last time.

I originally thought that he would come back in November, but he ended up coming back after the Chinese New Year.

I can only say that those guys are really damn good at procrastinating.

However, Yang Xiaotao felt that it didn't matter whether he came or not. After all, the production of bovine insulin had been formalized, and the bovine insulin produced every day was in short supply. The scalpers who lined up to buy scalper insulin at Peninsula Hospital had become a profession, a profession that could make money.

All in all, there is no shortage of buyers for scalper insulin nowadays.

Moreover, as for the profits, it is no exaggeration to say that you can make a fortune every day.

Yang Xiaotao even feels that he can earn more money under such circumstances.

As for those seeking cooperation, he really didn't think it was necessary.

He even suspected that these people came here suddenly because they were jealous.

Seeing so much money flowing into my pocket, I guess my mouth is watering.

Of course, he couldn't influence what the higher-ups thought. Now that the other party wanted to assess him, he would just do it.

How dare they fail the assessment?

"Why rush? It's not like the sky is falling."

Seeing Wang Hao looking anxious, Yang Xiaotao scolded him in an unpleasant manner.

After hearing this, Wang Hao quickly lowered his head, feeling that he had come at the wrong time.

At the same time, he remembered that today was Yang Bu's rest time. Over the years, he got to know Yang Xiaotao a little bit. What he hated most was others disturbing his rest.

But this time it was Secretary Li who asked him to come, so he is just a small character and has to listen to everyone!
Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath, then said to Grandpa and Ran Qiuye, "I'm going to the Ninth Department, and I may not be back at noon."

The grandfather waved his hand and said, "Just keep busy, the family doesn't need you!"

After saying that, he continued to play chess with the Taoist priest.

Yang Xiaotao opened his mouth and felt a little redundant.

"Go earlier, don't keep people waiting!"

As he said this, he glanced at Wang Hao who was scratching his head, and the latter showed a look of gratitude.

"Dad is coming over tonight, come back early!"

Ran Qiuye came over holding Dudu and helped Yang Xiaotao tidy up his clothes. Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately.

Look, this is my wife.

Little Dudu stared with his eyes wide open, holding a small piece of wood in his hand and was about to put it into his mouth. Yang Xiaotao stretched out his hand to stop him, and when he opened his hand, he found that there was indeed a chess piece inside.

"You bastard, you can't eat this!"

Ran Qiuye was also startled when he saw it, and immediately turned back to look at Duanwu who was lying on the table playing chess, "Yang Zengyi, come here..."

Yang Xiaotao just glanced at the confused Haodaer beside him, turned back to the house, tidied himself up and then came out to the outside of the alley.

Behind him, the murderous Ran Qiuye criticized Duanwu harshly.

At this time, the support of Dragon Boat Festival is no longer useful.

I could only listen with my head down and tears in my eyes, but I felt unconvinced in my heart.

I didn't give it to him, he took it himself!

……

Arriving at the Ninth Department, Yang Xiaotao slowly walked into the meeting room.

As soon as they came in, two middle-aged men stood up, smiling and looking humble and upright.

"Xiao Yang!"

Li Hongfeng stepped forward and introduced, "This is Director Han from the Ministry of Health, and this is Director Wu!"

After saying that, the two of them hurried forward, "Hello, Director Yang, I have heard of your great name for a long time!"

"I'm Han Raoqing, in charge of the liaison work this time!"

The middle-aged man in the lead spoke very politely, but after seeing Yang Xiaotao, he couldn't straighten his body!
"Hello, Director Han!"

Yang Xiaotao stretched out his hand, and the other party quickly held it with both hands.

"Hello, Minister Yang. I'm Wu Feng, and I'm in charge of external relations at the Ministry of Health."

"Hello, Director Wu!"

The three of them exchanged polite words and then sat down in their seats.

As soon as they sat down, Yang Xiaotao looked at the two and asked casually, "I heard that the inspection team is coming? Why is it so sudden?"

Director Han said quickly, "This was indeed quite sudden. When we received the notice, the other party had already flown over from Hong Kong."

"They should have reached Shanghai by now. They will stay there for half a day and will reach Beijing tonight."

Yang Xiaotao crossed his legs at the beginning, "That means they stayed in Hong Kong for quite a while?"

"Yes, we got the news that they have been in Hong Kong for more than a month, and they are said to be waiting for people to gather together. I don't know if it is true or not."

Li Hongfeng spoke up at this time, "Whether it's true or not, the other party is coming, so let's talk about the arrangements first."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and then Director Han told the Ministry of Health about its plan. "Minister Yang, we have actually already contacted your pharmaceutical factory. To be honest, the hygiene requirements and standards that your pharmaceutical factory is currently implementing are even stricter than the domestic requirements in some aspects, which makes us very ashamed."

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand. "The standards should be in line with the reality and should take into account most situations. If we just come up with a high standard and no one can achieve it, what's the point?"

Director Han nodded immediately after hearing this. These words touched his heart, but it was a pity that the leaders above didn't care about these things.

After seeing the standard system of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, the only thing left is to move everything over here!
"We still need you to improve the domestic health industry, and we also need you to go to the front line to understand it!"

Director Han nodded again, "Minister Yang is absolutely right!"

"Cough cough..."

Li Hongfeng coughed lightly and said, "We'll talk about the standard things later."

"Let's get back to the point. We still need to find out the situation of this inspection team."

At this point, Li Hongfeng looked at Wu Feng standing aside and said, "Director Wu, please tell us about the charter and arrangement plan of the inspection team!"

"Ok!"

Wu Feng looked at Li Hongfeng gratefully and quickly said, "Director Yang, Secretary Li, this is our arrangement."

"The inspection team will officially conduct the inspection and will hold a meeting first. You, Director Yang, will be required to attend this."

"I?"

"Yes, this is what the leader specifically requested."

Yang Xiaotao took a breath, then said, "Okay, let me know when the time comes!"

"Ok!"

Wu Feng continued, "The main content of the meeting was to focus on the differences between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and to explain the development of traditional Chinese medicine."

"Then there are our achievements, which are mainly based on Meihua disinfectant and Huangniu insulin."

“Finally, we visited the pharmaceutical factory and inspected the production situation!”

“The whole trip takes about three to five days.”

After Wu Feng finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao immediately asked, "Why did it take so long? How many people are there on the other side? Do we have to accompany them the whole time?"

"Yes, because some patent issues are more troublesome and we need to discuss them!"

At this point, Wu Feng gave a teasing smile.

Director Han at the side also laughed and said, "Director Yang, you may not know that our negotiation requirements this time are not just the patent for Huang Niu Insulin."

Yang Xiaotao raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean, is there anything else?"

"Correct!"

The two said in unison, and Wu Feng smiled and said, "After discussion with our superiors, we feel that this is a great opportunity to promote the reputation of traditional Chinese medicine."

"So I thought of taking this opportunity to include traditional Chinese medicine in the patent system."

"Traditional Chinese medicine? Patent?"

Yang Xiaotao sat up straight and became interested, then asked, "Are you going to apply for patents for those drugs?"

"Yes, but not all of them. Only some common prescriptions are registered as patents."

"For example, the Isatis root produced by Jiubu Pharmaceutical Factory is considered very good by our superiors."

Yang Xiaotao instantly understood his superior's intention.

"Okay, that's great. Even if the patent is sold, those manufacturers will still need to buy our raw materials."

"Not bad!"

Li Hongfeng also nodded in agreement, "More importantly, through these channels we can expand the influence of traditional Chinese medicine, and then expand the influence of the international community."

"So, the inspection team must pay full attention to this and not be careless."

This last sentence was to remind Yang Xiaotao that this was a big game played by his superiors and he must not mess things up.

Yang Xiaotao understood what he meant, and then he smiled and said, "In fact, not only traditional Chinese medicine, but also the western medicines we will develop in the future can be included in the patent protection."

"so!"

At this point, Yang Xiaotao said to the two, "You can go back and make some suggestions. If possible, we can take out the entire Ministry of Health and add it to the ranks of intellectual property protection!"

"This saves trouble."

After the words fell, the two of them were stunned at first, then they twisted their bodies, and they felt outrageous in their hearts.

If the occasion wasn't wrong, they really wanted to stand up and ask, "Minister Yang, are you serious?"
