Love That Extends Life

At nine o'clock on Saturday morning, the three-day 53rd China Medicinal Materials and Medicines Trade Fair opened at the Nanshi International Convention and Exhibition Center.

The China Medicinal Materials and Medicines Trade Fair is held once a year, and the venue can be chosen in any city or town in China. The China Medicinal Materials and Medicines Trade Fair held in Nanshi City, Jiang Province this time is also referred to as the Nanshi Medicine Trade Fair.

Chu Yunhao and Wu Yanzi arrived at the gate of Nanshi International Convention and Exhibition Center at 8:30, and Li Wan'er, who was responsible for receiving them, also showed up on time.

Li Wan'er originally thought that Chu Yunhao would come alone, so that she would have the opportunity to get in touch with Chu Yunhao more, but unexpectedly, there was a black-faced girl accompanying Chu Yunhao.

When Chu Yunhao was introducing Li Wan'er and Wu Yanzi to each other, Li Wan'er looked at Wu Yanzi carefully and found that she seemed to know Wu Yanzi.

"You...you seem to have studied at a Chinese medicine college..." Li Wan'er remembered that she had met Wu Yanzi at the Nanjing University Chinese Medicine College, and then she started chatting with Wu Yanzi.

"Yes, I studied at the Nanjing University College of Traditional Chinese Medicine." Wu Yanzi did not deny it, but admitted it directly.

"Ah! You are the senior who won the Excellence Award at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture and Massage Exchange Conference!"

It turned out that when Li Wan'er first entered the Nanjing University Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Wu Yanzi, who was still a junior, was already very famous. Especially when Wu Yanzi appeared on the podium of the Academic Exchange Conference on Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture and Massage, Li Wan'er remembered this senior sister with superb medical skills.

"Yes!" Wu Yanzi nodded again.

"This senior sister changed her name. I remember that she was called Wu Qiu Shui at that time. It's strange, why is she with Chu Yunhao?" Li Wan'er wondered in her heart, but she understood after thinking about it.

She had heard the female clerk who followed Chu Yunhao mention that when Chu Yunhao was practicing Tai Chi in Xishan Park, a black-faced girl suddenly appeared there. So it seemed that Wu Yanzi must be the black-faced girl. At this point, everything suddenly became clear, and Li Waner also understood: it turned out that Wu Yanzi and Chu Yunhao knew each other through the old dean Zhang Benchu, and the old dean arranged for Wu Yanzi to follow Chu Yunhao so that she could treat his illness at any time.

"Hello, Senior Sister Wu!" Li Wan'er finally greeted Wu Yanzi enthusiastically.

"Then I'll call you Sister Wan'er, just like Brother Chu!" Wu Yanzi responded politely.

As the relationship between Li Wan'er and Wu Yanzi gradually eased, the three of them - Li Wan'er, Chu Yunhao and Wu Yanzi - began to get along well. The atmosphere between them became harmonious and warm, and the communication between them became more natural and smooth.

Chu Yunhao learned from Li Wan'er that all the staff of Baicaotang were mobilized this time. The old shopkeeper Li Baolin personally led a large group of people, and almost all the employees came to the Nanshi Pharmaceutical Fair.

Baicaotang has always participated in the annual medicine trade fair, and this time it happened to be held at its doorstep, so naturally it had to go all out and put in all its efforts.

The purpose of Baicaotang's participation in the Medicine Fair is not only to purchase high-quality Chinese medicinal materials, but also to transfer the patent rights of Chinese herbal medicine decoctions. As the largest century-old Chinese medicine shop in Nanshi, Baicaotang has many best-selling medicines, some of which have even been purchased by large pharmaceutical companies. Patents, such as the famous Baicaotang Lumbar and Cervical Vertebrae Plaster, Baicaotang Jinkui Pills, and Baicaotang Black Chicken Pills, etc. These Chinese medicines are well-known throughout China, with huge sales, and have also brought Baicaotang huge profits.

Just two days ago, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Federation of Nanshi held a variety of large-scale activities outside and around the Nanshi Medicine Fair. On Zhongshan Road, where the Nanshi Medicine Fair is located, the "Nanshi Traditional Chinese Medicine Street" was built. Along both sides of Zhongshan Road, there are national medical halls, traditional Chinese medicine halls, rehabilitation and health care halls, traditional Chinese medicine exhibition halls, and traditional Chinese medicine culture exhibition halls, etc., dedicated to creating a traditional Chinese medicine street that integrates diagnosis and treatment, health preservation, exhibition, tourism, sales, research and development, and branding. The traditional Chinese medicine street is rich in the national characteristics of Chinese traditional Chinese medicine, adding a strong traditional Chinese medicine brand image to the Nanshi Medicine Fair, so it has become a highlight of the Nanshi Medicine Fair.

Li Wan'er's task this time is to purchase Chinese medicinal materials. As long as she finds high-quality Chinese medicinal materials, she will sign an agreement and a cooperation contract. Baicaotang also equipped her with two senior pharmacists to ensure the quality of the purchased Chinese medicinal materials.

There was less than half an hour left before the opening of the Nanshi Pharmaceutical Fair, but Li Wan'er couldn't wait to drag Chu Yunhao and Wu Yanzi to stroll along Nanshi's Traditional Chinese Medicine Street.

Chu Yunhao knew very little about traditional Chinese medicine, but fortunately, with Wu Yanzi and Li Wan'er by his side, any questions he had about traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese medicinal materials could be easily answered.

When they finished walking along this street of traditional Chinese medicine, the Nanshi Pharmaceutical Fair happened to be opening.

Since the Nanshi Pharmaceutical Fair implemented a ticket-based admission system, Li Wan'er specially sent someone to apply for a tourist ticket for Wu Yanzi. As a special guest of the exhibition, Li Wan'er herself wore a guest work permit and could freely enter and exit the Pharmaceutical Fair. The tourist ticket only cost five yuan, the purpose was to attract more people to visit. Chu Yunhao and Wu Yanzi both held valid tickets for the day.

As soon as we entered the International Convention and Exhibition Center, we could feel a warm and solemn atmosphere. It turned out that in order to welcome this grand pharmaceutical trade fair, the organizing committee specially arranged a short but splendid opening ceremony.

At the ceremony, the leaders of the organizing committee took the stage one after another. They gave passionate speeches to all the participants, expressing their blessings and expectations for this pharmaceutical trade fair. Then, the exciting moment came - the leaders jointly announced the official opening of the pharmaceutical trade fair! For a moment, there was thunderous applause and cheers.

The exhibition center of this year's Nanshi Pharmaceutical Fair was carefully divided into several special areas, including special exhibition areas, TCM health products area, world traditional medicine display and trading area, Chinese patent medicine area, Internet e-commerce area, Chinese medicinal materials machinery and equipment area, and authentic medicinal materials area, etc. A total of 848 booths were built in these exhibition areas, of which 90 special booths with an area of ​​more than 36 square meters were particularly eye-catching.

The pharmaceutical fair attracted more than 9000 pharmaceutical companies from all over the country to participate in the exhibition, including some well-known large companies, such as Tongrentang, Jiuzhitang, Huqingyutang, Heniantang, Baicaotang and Yunnan Baiyao, etc. More than 50 well-known pharmaceutical companies brought more than 3 high-quality medicines, which were dazzling.

After the Medicine Fair started, Li Wan'er suddenly said to Chu Yunhao in a serious tone: "Brother Chu, the Medicine Fair has now officially started exhibitions and transactions. Let's go to the Chinese medicinal materials area first, and then go to the time-honored pharmaceutical companies' areas. I hope I can help you find the eight precious Chinese medicinal materials you need during this morning!"
