After several days of high temperatures, the author saw yesterday at the supply point of "Love Herbal Tea" at Baohetang Pharmacy on Jiefang West Road in Xianyou Chengguan that from time to time school students, courier boys, sanitation workers, community residents, etc., came to drink a cup of free herbal tea and enjoy a "coolness" in the hot summer.
Since the dog days, nearly 1,000 people have benefited from this "love herbal tea" supply point every day. Lin Xin, a tricycle driver from the Dongmen community of Licheng Street, said, "I have been riding a tricycle for more than 20 years, and I come here to drink herbal tea every hot summer. This three-generation relay of the family provides free medicinal tea, which is very heartwarming, and it is so loving! ”
"This 'Love Herbal Tea' stall was set up by my grandfather 40 years ago." Huang Jian, the 47-year-old third-generation owner of Bohol Tong Pharmacy, said that he took over Bohol Tong from his uncle six years ago, inherited this family style of kindness, and continued his love and kindness. At the same time, he also innovated the introduction of intelligent Chinese medicine decoction machine to provide free decoction service for customers who enter the store to buy Chinese herbal medicines.
The author saw that within 20 minutes, from time to time, all kinds of people such as courier boys, tricycle drivers, motorcycle drivers, cleaners and so on came to unscrew the switch in front of the thermos bucket to enjoy free tea. Huang Mingdong, the second-generation owner of Boholtang Pharmacy and Huang Jian's uncle, also instructed the clerk who helped boil the water to boil the herbal tea in time for the public to use.
According to Huang Mingdong's recollection, in 1984, when the pharmacy had just opened, his father and old owner Huang Shengfa saw a farmer in the city fainting on the side of the road due to heat stroke, so he decided to brew "love herbal tea" for free every summer for passers-by to drink. In 2002, after taking over the pharmacy, Huang Mingdong insisted on providing "love medicinal tea" regularly every year to continue his good deeds, and used the air-conditioned store to provide convenient services such as short-term cooling, rest, and blood sugar and blood pressure measurement.
It is reported that Bohol Tang is a well-known local "time-honored" pharmacy, the supply of "love herbal tea" is made of honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, licorice, prunella, Huoxiang and other more than 10 flavors of traditional Chinese medicine carefully boiled, from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day, the daily amount of boiling can be used for thousands of people to relieve the heat. Especially in hot weather, "Love Herbal Tea" is particularly popular with the public.
It is worth mentioning that the good deed of "Love Herbal Tea" has also "crossed the ocean" to Manhattan, Flushing, New York and other places, which has been praised by local Chinese. Huang Mingping, the daughter of the old owner Huang Shengfa, and her husband opened Zhu Rongbin's Chinese medicine clinic in New York, United States. Since July 2015, the clinic has also set up a free Chinese herbal tea supply point at the entrance of the clinic, so that overseas Chinese in foreign countries can also drink authentic "Bao Ho Tang" Chinese herbal tea.
Love herbal tea relieves the heat. The 40-year relay of love of three generations of the Bohol Tong family has been praised by all walks of life. Huang Jian said that as long as everyone loves to drink, we will stick to it, make "love herbal tea" into a landscape, and relay to spread urban civilization. (Chen Guomeng text/photo)
