It's late at night and people are quiet.

Chen Qiang squatted in the toilet, plugging his nostrils with his toilet paper, and a "squeak" sound kept sounding in his ears. Some of this sounds were made by him and some were made by others.

After a long time, he stood up and walked out of the toilet. At this time, he felt his legs were weak and his eyes were filled with stars.

This is diarrhea, and it is his sixth time in the bathroom.

Chen Qiang left the toilet, but the sound in the toilet did not stop, and someone rushed over.

"This is not half of diarrhea. It seems that it is food poisoning!" Chen Qiang said in his heart.

It is obvious that Chen Qiang is not the only one who is suffering from food poisoning, but there are still several squatting in the toilet.

This night was a torment for many people, and the toilets in the athletes' dormitory were even more crowded.

An athlete from Tianjin was directly dehydrated and was carried into the hospital early the next morning.

Chen Qiang was in much better condition, he walked into the hospital by himself.

Chen Qiang recalled the championship treatment he received during dinner and suddenly felt a little regretful. The chef who served the rice served him a lot of more dishes, which must have been the root of his food poisoning. I don’t know if he had taken one dish to be contaminated. If he had eaten less at that time, he might have felt much better now.

This can be regarded as the sequelae of the big boss-level treatment!

The sudden outbreak of large-scale food poisoning caught the organizers of the National Games off guard. The National Games preparatory committee immediately arranged for athletes to seek medical treatment, of course, the cost of medical treatment was also paid by the preparatory committee.

If only one or two athletes have diarrhea, it is likely that they are not adapted to the environment, but a large number of athletes have diarrhea, either an infectious disease occurs, or it is caused by unclean food in the canteen. To avoid it, all athletes with diarrhea are arranged to be hospitalized for observation.

The final result is that this is not an infectious disease, but food poisoning. Otherwise, there will be trouble in the whole Hangzhou. There will be so many spectators in the National Games. If it is really an infectious disease, it will be spread to ten or ten. It won’t take long, and the entire Shanghai, Ningxia and Hangzhou may indeed be covered by infectious diseases.

This is the first time Hangzhou has held such a large-scale competition. More than 2,000 athletes have arrived at once. The organizer has no experience in reception at all. It is normal for the food to be cooked too much. As for the big pot rice, it is good to cook it.

Of course, the most important thing is that the domestic hygiene situation was poor at that time and the people did not have enough hygiene awareness.

Before the Patriotic Health Campaign, China's sanitation was very bad. Many people usually drink raw water and urinate and defecate anywhere is a common phenomenon. For example, in rural areas, there are no toilets at all. When it needs to be solved, just go directly to the fields. It can also be regarded as fat water and not flowing to outsiders' fields.

It was precisely because of the poor hygiene conditions at that time that the Patriotic Sanitation Campaign was later launched. The country cleared garbage, cleared channels, built toilets, rebuilt water wells, filled in sewage ponds, eliminated four evils, and required the people to be hygienic and kept clean, and the water should be boiled and drunk, etc.

The role of the patriotic health campaign is still very strong, national health has been significantly improved, and many infectious diseases have been controlled. Even now, many medical and health institutions still have institutions such as the "Love Health Association Office".

...

Get back to the point.

Chen Qiang was hospitalized, and today's 200-meter sprint rematch, he could only abstain from helplessly.

Moreover, it is not enough to be hospitalized for one day. Chen Qiang has to be hospitalized for two days. In this way, he missed the 400-meter race.

For Chen Qiang, his National Games has actually ended.

The medical technology at that time was not as good as it is now. If it was in the 21st century, if you were in food poisoning, take some medicine and have a bottle of water more severely, it would be better the next day.

However, in 1930, penicillin had not been purified, and there was no special medicine. The treatment of food poisoning was much slower than in later generations.

Two days later, Chen Qiang was finally discharged from the hospital and returned to the athlete's dormitory.

There are obviously fewer people in the athletes' cafeteria.

It is said that after a large-scale food poisoning incident, many athletes did not dare to eat in the cafeteria, for fear of losing their stomachs again. Therefore, the business of the restaurant near the venue was extremely prosperous and it was full every day.

Some residents who live nearby have even started business and have made the sign of "making food and cooking". Some participating teams simply order food directly from other places to avoid another food poisoning.

Chen Qiang continued to eat in the athletes' cafeteria. Anyway, he no longer had the competition task, so he didn't have to worry that food poisoning would affect the status of subsequent competitions.

There is no need to spend money to eat in the athletes' cafeteria, which can save a lot of money. After the food poisoning incident, more and more athletes were dining outside, which also pushed up the prices of nearby restaurants. Some restaurants temporarily raised the prices of three or four cups. Chen Qiang had no money at all, so naturally he would not give up and went to eat three or four times.

After the food poisoning incident, the athletes' canteen will definitely make rectifications. As the saying goes, one's mistake will lead to wisdom. The National Games Preparatory Committee will definitely not allow the second food poisoning incident to occur, and has also carried out stricter control over the food in the canteen. The preparatory committee sent people to keep an eye on the canteen, for fear of food problems again.

Moreover, fewer people eat, less workload of chefs, and more attentive when cooking. They are all cooks. The quality of cooking for two thousand people is definitely different compared to cooking for one thousand people. Originally, when two thousand people eat, the number of chefs is insufficient. Now that there are fewer people eat, the chef is busy, and the quality of the food will naturally be improved compared to before.

...

After dinner, Chen Qiang planned to go out for a walk and enjoy the beautiful scenery of West Lake, but he didn't expect Cheng Jinguan to come to him.

Cheng Jinguan's family is rich, so he does not live in a dormitory, but in a hotel outside. After hearing that Chen Qiang was discharged from the hospital, he immediately came to see Chen Qiang.

"I originally planned to go to the hospital to see you, but I have been participating in the competition in the past two days, so I didn't take time. Now that my competition is over, you are discharged from the hospital," Cheng Jinguan said.

"Thank you." Chen Qiang continued: "How is the result of the game?"

"Liu Changchun won the 200m and 400m championships. His 200m score was 22 seconds 8, and his 400m score was 52 seconds 6, which is also the new national record for 400m." Cheng Jinguan said.

"Liu Changchun is indeed amazing!" Chen Qiang couldn't help but sigh.

22 seconds 8 and 52 seconds 6 are obviously not Liu Changchun's best results. He is injured and his condition and speed will be affected, but even so, Liu Changchun still set a national record of 400 meters.

"What about you? How about you running 200 meters and 400 meters?" Chen Qiang continued.

"I got a third place in 200 meters, but I don't know if this third place has the opportunity to go to Japan and participate in the Far East Games." Cheng Jinguan said.

Chen Qiang thought about it, recalled it, and then said, "You can definitely participate in the Far East Games."

"Don't comfort me. If I got the second place in the 200-meter place, I might still be able to participate in the Far East Games. It's a bit difficult to be third. At most, I'm a substitute and shouldn't be selected." Cheng Jinguan said with a little disappointment.

Of course, Chen Qiang would not tell Cheng Jinguan that he really represented the Chinese team in this Far East Games in history.

Chen Qiang said, "Don't forget that Liu Changchun is injured. He took a lot of risk to participate in the competition with the injury this time. The Far East Games will be next month. I don't think he can participate, so a place will be vacant."

Liu Changchun did not participate in this Far East Games, because he participated in the National Games with injuries and his body was unable to bear the Far East Games in a short period of time. So after the National Games, he went back to Northeastern University to recuperate.

The two chatted for a few more times, and Cheng Jinguan took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Chen Qiang.

"What is this?" Chen Qiang looked down at the piece of paper, which was the image of a man wearing a churchman's costume, and in addition to the words "Quag".

"Quag cereal! It's only 1930, and Quaker cereal is sold to China?" Chen Qiang said in his heart.

Cheng Jinguan, opposite, continued to explain: "This Quaker cereal is American. Yesterday, someone was promoting it outside that this is the coupon they gave. The contestants, coaches, referees, and the person who saw it has a share. If you take this coupon, you can go to the Hangzhou Youth Association Western Restaurant to eat a Quaker cereal for free. I thought that you just got out of the hospital and need to replenish your body, so I gave you my coupon."

Chen Qiang was about to express his gratitude, but Cheng Jinguan took out another thing, which was a toothbrush.

"Not only foreign goods are selling, but our domestic goods are not to be outdone. The Hangzhou National Product Factory Federation is also selling. As long as you are an athlete, you can draw lots with a number card to register. Each tag has domestic gifts, more of which include wool velvet and cloth, and worse ones can also draw candy and tooth powder. I'll draw a toothbrush and give it to you!" Cheng Jinguan said and delivered the toothbrush to Chen Qiang.

Chen Qiang looked surprised. He didn't expect that in 1930, a lottery would happen.

Chen Qiang's thoughts suddenly became active: "Anyway, I don't have a competition task now, otherwise I will draw a prize tomorrow. If I can get a piece of cloth, I will be wearing new clothes!"
