Chapter 490: Chapter 490 Little Wu and Little Liu
“`
Regarding the task of naming the two lion cubs, Su Jin had thought about it before, but alas, she had no leads in mind.
After all, they were lion cubs, and Su Jin wanted to give them powerful names, so she had already rejected names like Lele and Huanhuan that Lu Hao had mentioned, which sounded more suitable for a Pomeranian.
“This should be discussed with everyone,”
Su Jin said with a forced laugh. Or should she let Lin Xiuyuan come up with the names?
“The simpler the names you give, the easier it is to raise them. Why not the names I’ve been calling them?”
In the past few days when Lin Yunguo was feeding the lion cubs, he unconsciously called out two nicknames that he found quite euphonious.
“Little Wu and Little Liu?” Li Xiuying asked.
“Yes, just Little Wu and Little Liu. It rolls off the tongue, right?”
Lin Yunguo felt this way.
Eventually, the two young lions were thus named, and they were called Little Wu and Little Liu…
From then on, Local Tyrant Gold would often come into the Space with Little Wu and Little Liu, strutting arrogantly in front of everyone.
It was extremely fond of these two little buddies. Not only were they almost as big as it, but they also always listened to it. In front of them, it assumed the posture of a commander, giving orders, amusing everyone to laughter.
The medicinal herbs in the Spirit Field had matured in several batches. In the past few days, Lu Hao and Lin Cheng had also been using the drying machine in the Space to dry all the herbs, and Lu Guanhai even took them to the rooftop to be blown by the cold wind for two days, making the herbs look a bit more aged.
When Lin Tianhui found Xu Mingzhi and told him about this, Xu Mingzhi was quite surprised. He knew the Heart Talk Team had gone out to collect supplies recently, but he hadn’t expected they would bring back Chinese herbs.
He was definitely going to buy them, but he also felt the need to examine the quality of the herbs. After all, there had been rain recently, and if the herbs had not been stored properly, even if they were cooked, they would lose their efficacy.
“Okay, I’ll have Su Jin and the others bring some over for you to see this afternoon. As for these medicinal herbs and things, we don’t understand them ourselves, so we definitely need Dean Xu to take a look,”
Lin Tianhui’s words gave Xu Mingzhi immense reassurance. Although Lin Tianhui was a hospital shareholder and ranked above him, she was impeccable in her conduct and never failed to show him respect in public.
“Sister Lin, don’t worry. Even if the herbs brought back by Su Jin and the others have some defects, as long as there is no mildew or anything, we will buy them,”
Xu Mingzhi said with a smile.
That very afternoon, Su Jin and Lu Hao, apparently having received some news, came directly to the Base Hospital to meet Xu Mingzhi.
When Su Jin took out the medicinal herbs from the Space, occupying half of the dean’s office, Xu Mingzhi exclaimed that it was too much.
“Where did you get these from? You have so many herbs!”
Xu Mingzhi asked, barely concealing the joy in his heart.
“From a Chinese medicine market in D City, I don’t remember the name,”
Lu Hao continued to lie.
Xu Mingzhi nodded, put on a pair of glasses, and walked over to the herbs to casually open a bag and inspect it.
The packaging of these herbs was very peculiar, not the most common herb packaging, but instead neatly bundled up in batches. When he took out a bag of herbs, he couldn’t help exclaiming in admiration.
The size and color of the herbs were just too perfect!
“`
Every medicinal herb was a mature plant that had been dried, showing neither mold nor signs of being crushed; they looked much better than the batch previously brought in by the Guard squad at the base.

Such herbs would produce the best effect after being made into medicinal drinks.
Moreover, he glanced at the herbs and found, to his surprise, that they were all varieties that were in greatest demand at the moment, such as Rhizome Picrorhizae, Forsythia, and Isatis Root, which were also the fastest to be consumed in the hospital on regular days.
“Cough cough, Su Jin, Lu Hao, let’s not beat around the bush. The quality of your herbs is very good, but the quality and price still need to be properly discussed by the elder TCM practitioners at our hospital, especially since there are so many. So, can you wait a bit?”
Dean Xu said earnestly to Su Jin and Lu Hao.
“Dean Xu, that’s not a problem. How long might we need to wait?” Lu Hao asked.
“Very soon, about two hours should be enough,”
Dean Xu said, looking at the wall clock, two hours would also be almost time for the hospital to close, and they should be able to complete their examination by then.
Su Jin nodded her head, she also trusted that Dean Xu would not deceive them, so she planned to wait for a while in Lin Tianhui’s office before coming back, so as not to disturb their work.
Just before they were about to leave, Dean Xu actually picked up the desk phone and started dialing.
Both Su Jin and Lu Hao were shocked. How could phone calls go through now?
“Haha, don’t misunderstand, this is a local telephone network created by Dr. Pei and his colleagues. It can currently only be used within the hospital. It’s pretty much the same as an intercom. It can’t even reach the administrative building,”
Dean Xu explained to them, after hanging up the phone.
So that was it, but Su Jin still found it unbelievable. In her last life, she hadn’t heard of local telephone networks being available until the second year, and now they had already appeared.
This could only mean that either she in her previous life had not witnessed this change, or the technological development trajectory of this life was faster than the last.
She was more inclined to believe the latter, because in this life, Dr. Pei and his colleagues were brought back by them from the E City base.
“That’s really impressive,”
Su Jin put away the shock in her eyes and praised.
“Yes, our Base Leader’s goal is to get phones installed throughout the entire base, and then gradually expand to the Lin City base,”
Dean Xu spoke openly, as he knew that Su Jin and Lu Hao were greatly favored by Liang Jiuhui, and he already treated them as his own people.
After saying goodbye to Dean Xu, Su Jin and her companion planned to sit in Lin Tianhui’s office for a while, but Xiao Zhang from the hospital told them Lin Tianhui had just gone to treat an injured patient and it would take a while before she could return.
“Shall we go to Ban Xiaobo’s to kill some time?”
Lu Hao suggested, since the car dealership was just next to the Base Hospital.
“Ban Xiaobo? Sure, Rong Yuan should be there too. Let’s go see him,”
Su Jin, remembering the child she had “bought,” immediately became interested. It had been about twenty days since she last saw Rong Yuan, and she wondered how he was doing and if he had grown any taller.
Lu Hao felt a sudden twinge of jealousy. Su Jin seemed to be particularly attentive every time she mentioned Rong Yuan, even though he knew it was because she was somewhat concerned about Rong Yuan from her previous life. But in this life, Rong Yuan was no longer the little child they had bought back then.
Looking at Rong Yuan now, who had shot up taller than Su Jin and stood in front of her with excitement and two suspicious patches of red on his cheeks, Lu Hao deeply felt that his suggestion had been a terrible mistake.
