Her Cultivation Diary-Chapter 1843 - 1670: Insisting on Being Stubborn (2)
The two master and apprentice hesitated and trembled, but eventually entered the courtyard.
The courtyard had a black shade cloth that wasn’t particularly attractive, but it was very practical. Nowadays, those who can’t fit in the room and some who can’t be exposed to air conditioning due to illness were sitting under the shade, enjoying the breeze and fanning themselves.
Seeing new patients arriving, everyone enthusiastically inquired: "Are you from out of town too? Where are you from?"
"Oh, Shan City, that’s far. But where I came from isn’t close either, I’m from Huacheng."
"I’m from Beicheng..."
"Beicheng is several hundred kilometers away, how did you manage to find Doctor Xiaoguo here?"
"The results are good!" The middle-aged man speaking had a mystifying look, a face that seemed to say ’you know’:
"Doctor Guo really has skills and the medicine is genuinely effective, it’s just hard to consistently buy it over the years, it always runs out. I pondered, maybe if I came here I could get a thorough treatment."
Indeed, when it came to this, the men nodded knowingly.
There were also a few scattered female guests full of anticipation: "I don’t have major issues, just a lack of vitality and weak kidneys. Doctor Guo’s prescriptions here are quite effective for adjustment..."
"Yes, she said this year we could use moxibustion as an aid for better results. I figured just taking medicine isn’t the way, maybe I could persist through one or two courses for a root treatment..."
Adjusting the body happens to be Doctor Xiaoguo’s specialty.
The men wanted her Golden Hawthorn Pills, so they were particularly cooperative and obedient, making it easier to see results.
The women didn’t have a high demand for pills, but since Doctor Xiaoguo collected ingredients like ginger slices, honey, and simple herbs locally, the effects were also good.
Why is this kind of traditional medicine difficult to persist with:
First, it’s hard to drink.
Second, seeing results is a subjective experience, it always takes three to five days, unlike Western medicine which works immediately.
But now that the results are clearly felt, everyone’s confidence is heightened, leading to more cooperation.
Master Chai and Xiaozhou listened in confusion, but eventually put down their concerns:
Say no more, if it can make people travel hundreds of kilometers to treat their bodies, it must be skilled.
...
Doctor Xiaoguo is really overwhelmed here.
She hadn’t expected this at first.
After Ai Tiao was made, she did send messages to her old clients. But they were all over the place, at most urging for the pills, but unexpectedly they actually came running down here!
At peak times, more than ten patients could be lined up in a single day, each with issues not necessarily big, but whether it’s cupping or moxibustion, both require time.
Lining up like this, spinning arms wouldn’t be enough to get busy in a day.
Since everyone came, letting them leave without treatment was not an option, which instead brought business to the village’s inns.
Those economically well-off stayed at Fairy Tale Inn, while the average ones stayed at Zhang Yanping’s place.
This was truly a case of the west shining when the east doesn’t,
Otherwise, why would Zhang Yanping help maintain order here?
It was actually Xin Jun who looked at the daily income, happily urging him:
"Our inn emphasizes harmoniousness, I’m here during the day, you can help Doctor Xiaoguo when you have time, the clinic is bustling..."
The boss personally sent him over, how could it not be considered a gesture of thanks from their inn?
Doctor Xiaoguo originally pondered whether to turn it into a couple’s store!
She could determine the acupoints, Zhang Yanping could assist with traction and stretching, scraping, and cupping.
There’s no technical difficulty here, as long as the details are handled well and the position is correct. But for the first time, when he had to use the cupping set, the suction pinched the patient’s back tight, causing the patient’s body to stiffen painfully, and the cup wouldn’t move on the hard muscles.
He was also tense and asked: "It doesn’t hurt, right?"
The patient, sweating profusely, gritted his teeth, looking like a macho man being punished by a gang leader:
"No! it doesn’t hurt!"
Well, starting unsuccessfully before even seeing results, the couple’s store wasn’t going to happen.
Doctor Xiaoguo could only manage this period, and then observe the situation to hire a trained nurse to help.
Even Wu Lan at home chatting was puzzled: "There are really a lot of people at Doctor Guo’s clinic!"
Oh dear, it’s her family that delayed her!
She’s so talented at such a young age, if she had more nurturing, she might become a national hand someday!
Song Tan just smiled and didn’t speak.
Doctor Xiaoguo’s skill in treating people was good, but the main reason customers trusted her this year relied mostly on the herbs.
When there weren’t so many patients before, she’d either be digging dandelions in the field or fetching plantago and motherwort...
