"Health, convenience, low price and medical insurance are about equal to those purchased in 0 yuan!"
As soon as such a "propaganda copy" came out, the young people who talked about punk health and consumption downgrade, DNA moved violently.
So sour plum soup became the top stream some time ago, and related topics such as # Chinese medicine milk tea # rushed to the hot search many times, so there was a shortage of sour plum soup posted at 1.34 yuan in Zhejiang Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and online orders even burst the exaggerated scene of hospital servers …
On social media such as Xiaohongshu, you can also see some Shenzhen people’s sharing posts, but compared with the fanaticism in other places,The gust of buying sour plum soup in a Chinese pharmacy did blow to Shenzhen, but just like the typhoon "Little Dog" in the past, it was only blown to a certain extent.
With the doubt of "why" and at the same time, I really want to experience the happiness of "0 yuan buys Chinese medicine milk tea", so I decided to test it myself.
First, "another one with sour plum soup"
At the first stop, I chose to go to Luohu District Chinese Medicine Hospital, which is not far from my home.
I was in trouble before I started. As we all know, most hospitals in Shenzhen practice "make an appointment before seeing a doctor", and I don’t know which department number to open sour plum soup.
As a result, I had to come to the hospital for consultation with my social security card on the same day, and the nurse sister said in a normal way:"Another one with sour plum soup."
After paying the registration fee of 25 yuan with social security, I got the number of the department that treated the disease. This is the first time that I know that Chinese medicine hospitals still have this department that focuses on "prevention before illness and prevention of change after illness".
When I heard the nurse say "You", I thought there were many people who came here, but in fact, they called me into the clinic without waiting in line.
"What’s wrong?" With the doctor’s direct inquiry, there was no trace of joy just because there was no queue.Only for a while, the embarrassment of "seeking medical treatment without illness" arose..
After nearly 10 seconds of silence, I was able to say, "Sour plum soup is not very popular recently, so I want to experience it."
The doctor was not surprised. After looking, smelling, asking and cutting calmly, he added lotus leaves with the effect of eliminating dampness to the basic formula of sour plum soup.
During the prescription interval, the doctor said, "I have also brushed Chinese herbal milk tea, but actually not many people come to the hospital to prescribe sour plum soup, at least in this department where I am." However, for a long time, people will come to prescribe some conditioned medicinal materials and go back to make tea. It is better than Chinese medicine and can also play a role in conditioning the body. "
When dispensing medicine, the pharmacist also said, "The stock of sour plum soup is very sufficient, and the number of people who buy it is indeed more than before, but there is no shortage.Because everyone basically experiences it for early adopters, once they buy it, they won’t buy it again."
It seems that Shenzhen people are really not very interested in this popular "Chinese medicine milk tea".
I made a reservation, asked at the service desk, queued for registration, asked for consultation, felt the pulse, prescribed medicine, and filled in the information … It took nearly 40 minutes to complete the whole process, even if there was no queue. Although there was a frying service, it was not taken after 1-2 hours, but sent by express the next day.
After I came out of Chinese medicine hospital, I went to more than a dozen chain pharmacies of different brands. There are 8 pharmacies that can catch sour plum soup. Among them, only Neptune Star provides the frying service, and only Tongrentang is the same as Chinese medicine hospital. In these pharmacies, I didn’t see young people swarming like other cities. Sour plum soup was placed on the shelves, but the staff said that the goods had never been stopped.
Finally, I went to Shekang, which belongs to Luohu Hospital Group downstairs, and was told that the preparation of sour plum soup was not provided, and I could only prescribe a pair of sour plum soup at most. As for medicinal materials, you have to take the prescription and go to the outside pharmacy to buy it yourself.
"It can be fried on behalf of others, packaged independently, and drunk immediately after opening the bag", which was originally convenient on the Internet, omitting many inconvenient steps. First of all, you have to find a pharmacy or hospital where you can buy sour plum soup, and then you have to have a frying service, otherwise you can only cook it yourself, and finally you have to wait at least 1~2 days for delivery.
This is a bit high for Shenzhen people who have engraved "time is money, efficiency is life" in DNA.
As my colleague said, "It’s fine, but I choose milk tea."
Second, not being able to brush medical insurance is more fatal than not being able to fry it.
If it’s not as convenient as rumors and some persuasion, then it’s not as beautiful as imagined.
Take Luohu Chinese Medicine Hospital as an example. The price of 14 pairs of sour plum soup in 7 days is only 12.01 yuan, which is really a cabbage price. If you buy it, you will not be fooled.
But with 21 yuan’s frying fee.(including courier fee)And 25 yuan’s registration fee, this Chinese medicine milk tea is quite a bit unaffordable.
Some people may say, you can brush medical insurance anyway, and this money doesn’t have to be used in vain. That’s true, but you have to deduct money when you ask for leave, and it’s not a good deal to go to the queue at the weekend without knowing how long it will take.
The situation in the pharmacy is even more discouraging.
None of the eight pharmacies that can buy sour plum soup can use medical insurance. After careful inquiry, I know that only the designated Chinese medicines can be paid by medical insurance. As for which ones, it is not clear.
In Tongrentang, I need to pay 50 yuan’s registration fee first, so that I can’t afford to be a poor man.
Besides, I also found that the formula of sour plum soup in each drugstore is different. Some add osmanthus, some add mulberry and Luoshen flowers, and the price of each pair ranges from 9 to 12 yuan. Even if a pair can boil three bowls of water, it is much more expensive than the prescription of the Chinese medicine museum.
When I asked to get rid of these extra medicinal materials, some staff members said that it was not good to drink without them or it didn’t work. If I hadn’t gone to the Chinese medicine hospital first, I might have been fooled. In contrast, it gives people a little meaning of "bundling".
Harm, holding the mentality of "buy in 0 yuan", originally wanted to bonus hunter, but almost cut the leek.
3. Sour plum soup is more bitter than my life.
If all these are acceptable for health, it is the taste of this sour plum soup that makes me completely give up the idea of "repurchase".
After I received the sour plum soup fried by the pharmacy, I took it back to the company and invited my friends to "taste" together.
Without exception, everyone began to frown after tearing open the package and smelling it. After taking a sip, they all put on a mask of pain-bitterness is second, and the medicine is too strong!
I added sugar and ice cubes to the company refrigerator, but I couldn’t save the "charming" smell of Chinese medicine anyway.It tastes more bitter than your own life, and it is not as good as a bottle of Guangdong herbal tea that will return to Gansu.
This reminds me of the ridicule of my aunt in Guangdong, who was buying American ginseng, Fritillaria cirrhosa and Dendrobium, when I was in the pharmacy: "It’s better to drink your own soup than to drink herbal tea!"
Nepstar fried and produced.
Produced by Luohu Chinese Medicine Hospital on behalf of frying.
As a matter of fact, when I proposed to substitute for decoction, the doctor of Chinese medicine hospital gave me advice: the medicine taste of substitute decoction may be stronger. But I really didn’t expect it to be so thick. It also made me clearly understand what the Internet said:This is a serious medicine, not a drink.(Ps: Not all people with physical fitnessfitDrink together, please be careful. )
The next day, I received the sour plum soup fried by Luohu Chinese Medicine Hospital. From the color point of view, it was a little lighter. However, after the bitter baptism on the first day, some colleagues were afraid to taste it when I invited them again.
A Guangdong colleague said: Thank you, I choose to drink herbal tea. As a Cantonese, I second the motion.
I also added the doctor’s WeChat from Chinese medicine hospital, thinking it would be convenient to continue to prescribe sour plum soup. With the end of Kaifeng tasting, our love is still no match for the taste of "working hard", and our contact with her stays in the state that the system message shows "now we can chat".
Some people joked that "it turned out to be a Chinese pharmacy that defeated the tea shop", but in Shenzhen, this is obviously not true.
After some tossing down, I finally figured out why.
It’s not that Shenzhen people don’t follow the trend, nor do they love health and health preservation, but they can’t compare with authentic Guangdong herbal tea and milk tea in terms of cost, taste and efficacy.
Why is it that the effect is not as good as milk tea? Shenzhen people certainly know that drinking more milk tea is unhealthy.But life is already so bitter, it always needs a little sweetness!
