Chapter 1057: Buying Medicine

Speaking of moxa sticks, Dr. Xiao Guo's face was even more melancholy than Wubainian's stomach:

"Gone. Such good stuff, if you want it, I want it too!"

That was new mugwort from that year, and the effect was already so good. I don't even dare to imagine how thorough the effect would be if it had been aged for three years!

She even felt regret thinking about it: "Such good mugwort, they didn't take it seriously at all during the Dragon Boat Festival! When autumn came, they used it to make ecological fertilizer… it's just unbelievable!"

"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhang Yanping protested: "It was you who said that tender mugwort grown in autumn couldn't be used for moxa sticks, so we started working on it. How did it become us not taking it seriously? If it wasn't for planting this, why would Tan Tan go all the way to rent land at Shitou Slope?"

Dr. Xiao Guo wasn't Qiao Qiao, who would get muddled as soon as he saw his sister. She snorted: "Do you dare to say that Shitou Slope wasn't used for planting wild chrysanthemums and persimmon trees?"

Mugwort? Just a side project.

Zhang Yanping thought that what was planted was hard to say, but there was indeed a lot of mugwort for next year. But now that there were netizens here, he was afraid that there would be more monks than porridge, so he held back and didn't say anything.

He had to change the subject: "How is it? Wubainian, does your stomach still hurt?"

Wubainian was stunned, then suddenly touched his forehead, shocked: "It really doesn't hurt anymore!"

How long has it even been? Truly, the masters are among the common people!

"How much does it cost?" 'Five Hundred Years' asked, full of expectation: "Can your acupuncture treat insomnia?"

Doctor Xiao Guo glanced at him: "What's this about money? I went and had a big meal for free today, and I've already rolled dozens of hawthorn balls for you all... If you really want to pay, those silver needles cost two yuan a pack wholesale; you can pay that much."

This Song Tan usually seemed so stingy, but when she was generous, she was truly generous. She was so thorough that it even made her feel a bit unaccustomed.

"As for insomnia... I can adjust sleep, but firstly, I don't specialize in this. Secondly, it requires long-term... Do you want me to take your pulse and prescribe medicine?"

'Five Hundred Years' shook his head frantically.

The taste of traditional Chinese medicine—whoever drinks it knows; he, at least, couldn't handle it.

So he lay back down.

However, watching Doctor Xiao Guo diagnose the two girls, he always felt he was being treated differently:

"Come, let me see your tongue, and take your pulse... Your weight-loss method is wrong; your Qi and blood are a bit deficient..."

"Your body is actually okay, but you also have insufficient kidney Qi and aren't producing enough body fluids..."

Her voice was soft, and her expression was even gentler. Before long, she gave advice: "My medicine here is expensive; you two would each have to pay seven or eight hundred. It's not necessary."

"You are both still young, and your bodies will respond quickly to conditioning. Go back and buy three boxes of Wuji Baifeng Pills to take; that should be about enough..."

'Five Hundred Years' lay down but couldn't help turning his head—no, why is it that when it comes to the girls, she gives advice, medicine, and takes their pulse!

The two girls felt it too; at this moment, they wouldn't listen and were being rebellious: "What medicine is expensive? If seven or eight hundred works, I'm willing to pay it!"

It wasn't that Wuji Baifeng Pills weren't good, it was just human psychology...

Guo Dong laughed: "Not necessary, not necessary. I don't have much of that medicine left; it's reserved for regular customers who need it more."

"Your physical foundations are both quite good, so this will do. Wuji Baifeng Pills are quite suitable for your symptoms; for the one with kidney Qi deficiency, you can pair it with a Liuwei Dihuang Pill..."

She had already saved up quite a bit of wealth, so she spoke even more sincerely: "Think about it, why spend hundreds when a few dozen yuan can solve it?"

That's true too...

The two girls hesitantly took note of it.

Several male netizens over here, wearing stickers on their faces, also crowded over: "Let me see! Let me see! What medicine should I take? My kidneys aren't weak, right?"

Guo Dong:...

This is why she didn't like talking much to men; in traditional Chinese medicine, kidney Qi deficiency and 'kidney weakness' (impotence) are not the same thing, yet they always insisted on asking about it.

Just as they were queuing, someone asked at the courtyard gate: "Hello, is Guo Yi in?"

Guo Dong went out to look and found the person looked a bit familiar. But it had been so long that she couldn't remember the two people who had fallen asleep while getting moxibustion at her clinic, so she asked:

"Did you eat until you were stuffed too?"

Secretary Wang touched his stomach right then—it wasn't sticking out too much; it wasn't obvious.

He shook his head: "No, my... colleague came here for moxibustion in the summer before, and it was especially effective for his chronic cold legs. I wanted to ask if there's any left."

Who wouldn't want mugwort sticks?

Doctor Xiao Guo waved her hand: "No, no, not enough mugwort leaves; not until next year."

"Oh." Secretary Wang wasn't discouraged; he just smiled again, understated and leaving no trace, as if he were just asking out of idle curiosity:

"Then are there any of those medicinal pills for conditioning the body from before? I felt the effect was quite good, and my sleep was especially sound."

Guo Dong understood: "Oh."

Men, you know; those who come to ask basically have this attitude. She was very calm: "There isn't much left. The next time I make medicine will be early next autumn... How many bottles do you want?"

How is this thing still using hunger marketing!

Secretary Wang hurriedly said: "I want four... 10 bottles!"

One bottle for the leader, one for him, one for the leader, one for him... that should be about enough!

He thought for a moment and added: "Guo Yi, we live far away; let's add a QR code so I can transfer the money directly next time."

Regular customers were all like this. Guo Dong calmly took stock of the inventory in her mind and readily provided the QR code: "Sure, taking a few pills a month to nourish kidney Qi is quite good."

She turned back into the room to get the medicine, and when Secretary Wang followed her in and saw the room full of people, his face couldn't help but stiffen.

Only 'Five Hundred Years' persistently pursued the question: "What medicine is it? Is it effective? What are the effects after taking it?"

Secretary Wang smiled gracefully: "It's just for maintaining the body—Guo Yi, is it the same old price?"

"Yes." Guo Dong came out carrying the bag: "799 a bottle—scan this code."

The next moment—

【Alipay received 7990】

Hiss!

The whole room gasped. What is this? Buying ginseng for eight thousand yuan?

Watching the other party leave satisfied with the medicine, 'Five Hundred Years', who wasn't short on money, hurriedly asked:

"Guo Yi, what medicine is it? Good for sleep? Is it suitable for my symptoms? If it is, give me ten bottles too!"

Zhang Yanping listened from the side, his expression very strange.

Guo Yi said calmly: "I don't have that much inventory... Besides, you're young, why do you need so much?"

'Five Hundred Years' widened his eyes.

The other two girls raised their hands together: "Guo Yi, is the medicine you just mentioned this one? I want to buy it!"

The man from just now was dressed plainly and didn't look like a luxurious person, yet he bought ten bottles at once without blinking; he must know it's effective!

Doctor Xiao Guo smiled helplessly: "Fine, but one bottle is enough for you two; three pills for you, two for her—you still have to pair it with Wuji Baifeng Pills when you go back."

'Five Hundred Years' emphasized again: "Guo Yi! Me! I have insomnia!"
