In the middle of the night, Liu Yan was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door. Someone was shouting his name.
He hurriedly got up and opened the door. It was the village head, Elder Wang, and his wife. He was holding his son, Little Bean, in his arms.
"Liu Yan, quickly help my son take a look. That fellow is sick, and he couldn't sleep the entire night. Just now, he even vomited." Elder Wang looked flustered.
"Come in first." Liu Yan hurriedly invited the two in.
Beans' entire body was burning, and her face was flushed from the heat. She was in a daze from the heat.
Liu Yan checked his pulse and then looked at his tongue. He could already tell at a glance how sick he was. This was a common winter influenza, known as influenza. In ancient times, this was known as winter sickness.
However, Liu Yan's treatment was much simpler. He took out a silver needle and pulled down Little Bean's collar, revealing his back. He placed the needle on his back and began to invigorate himself as he did so.
This is the method of life and death, because winter flu belongs to the internal heat and external cold, the internal heat in the lung and stomach, the external cold on the body surface, from the back down needle, can play the effect of dispelling the cold and heat.
After the treatment, Bean's complexion improved. He opened his eyes and called out for his big brother. His expression once again appeared on his young and tender face.
"It feels so good."
Liu Yan smiled and asked, "The flu is very contagious. Has Bean come into contact with someone in the past two days?" Who else in your family has a cold? "
Elder Wang said naively, "No one has a cold at home, so I went to his maternal grandma's house today. His two uncles caught a cold."
Liu Yan nodded his head, "That could be due to his uncle's infection. After all, the child's body is weak, and his resistance is low, so I won't prescribe medicine for him, and when I return later on, I'll make two taels of ginger and five taels of spring onion, and boil a pot of bone soup. It's best to drink it once a day, as adults can also drink it to prevent a cold.
Elder Wang's face was suddenly filled with gratitude. "Liu Yan, you really are a god. You can get two small beans just like that. You don't even need to eat the medicine."
Liu Yan's lips curled up. What a joke. He had used the Life and Death Art to treat his opponent. If this was in the ancient times, just this skill of his would have been able to win the respect of countless Chinese physicians.
The next morning, just as Liu Yan had gotten up and tidied up, there was another knock on the door. A villager had come in, and he also had a cold.
Liu Yan didn't know if it was sadness or joy. Winter flu had a strong contagious effect, plus it was the new year, everyone was hanging out with each other. Also, they were eating big fish and big meat, so they were balanced. There was money to be made with sick people, but he would rather not be sick, not because he felt so noble, but because he was busy opening a shop in the near future.
Influenza is actually a sudden outbreak, hit by a stroke of carelessness, but there is also a radical cure, the so-called positive qi memory, evil cannot do it, through the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, to help strengthen the body, so that the body can easily adapt to the changes brought by the weather, that will not easily get sick.
However, this was a rather long process. Liu Yan didn't have that many thoughts, so he wrote a prescription to dispel the cold and heat. He picked up two pieces of medicine, gave them to Liu Yan, and sent him away.
As he was eating breakfast, his next-door neighbor, Liu Erzhu, came to visit, snot trickling down his face.
"You caught a cold too?"
Liu Erzhu smiled honestly, "I drank a bit last night, so I wasn't paying attention when I went to sleep. It was freezing. Can you help me get some medicine?"
"Ai, uncle Er Zhu, your body really can't drink too much." Liu Yan sighed, but he didn't prescribe any medicine for him. Instead, he had some luck push him around and ask him to boil some ginger soup.
After settling this matter with Liu Erzhu, Liu Yan hurriedly left the room.
In the bank, Liu Yan took out all of his belongings and spent a total of 80,000 yuan. Right now, his family only had around 3000 yuan left to pay for his meals.
When he arrived at Su Yun's store, she had already drafted the contract and showed it to Liu Yan. The division of labor between the two of them was very clear.
"All my belongings are here." Liu Yan took out the money.
Su Yun pursed her lips and smiled, "This should be your wife's book, right? How will you marry your wife after you've invested all of it in her?"
Liu Yan grinned. "It's only eighty thousand yuan. If I put it in, I'll definitely be able to earn it back. I'll earn a few more eighty thousand yuan and marry a few more wives."
"Haha, you're thinking pretty well. I'll also take out fifty thousand yuan as the cost of re-opening the store. I hope that we can cooperate happily." Su Yun extended her delicate hand.
"Let's have a happy cooperation. Let's make a fortune together." Liu Yan gently shook her hand. Su Yun's hand was a little cold, but her skin was delicate. The feeling of her hand was very good.
In this aspect, Liu Yan was an amateur with Su Yun as the main opinion. She had the experience of decorating the shop, so she quickly established the decorating style of the shop. She intended to use an antique movie where she would decorate the pharmacy.
"The tables and chairs have to be replaced with solid wood furniture. They might need to be custom-made. I'll contact you tomorrow to measure the size."
Liu Yan nodded his head and said, "Then, I'll go and order a batch of medicinal ingredients. I'll try them out in the kitchen and try to come up with the most efficient cooking method."
Gu Xing County was located in a mountainous area with a beautiful natural environment. Amongst the local specialties, the most representative were the tea leaves and medicinal herbs. In an old market in Gu Xing County, there were many medicine stores.
After the two finally communicated with a shop, they continued to take stock of the goods on a regular basis.
A phone call came in. Liu Yan picked it up and saw that it was from Liu Erzhu.
"Liu Yan, where did you run off to this time?" I'm not doing business anymore. There are quite a few people in the village waiting for you to see a doctor. " Liu Erzhu hastily said.
"I'm in the county, what's their situation? Don't tell me they also have a cold like you?" Liu Yan guessed that with so many people sick, it was probably because of the flu.
"Right, right. You have a cold and a fever. Come back quickly."
"Alright!" Liu Yan nodded his head.
"Is there a patient in the clinic? "Then you can go back first. If you're busy tomorrow, you don't have to come over. I can take care of it." Su Yun smiled slightly and said.
Winter injuries in the cold, spring will be sick. In traditional Chinese medicine, winter wind is evil, all-pervasive, once injury wind cold, evil gas lurking in the body, wait for the next spring will have a fever, so in winter is the best treatment for the body.
After spending more than five hundred dollars, Liu Yan bought a batch of medicinal herbs to concoct a formula for nourishing the Yin essence and nourishing the body. After consuming it, he would be able to recover his vigor in the spring of the next year, thus preventing himself from getting sick.
Rushing back home, the moment he opened the door, Village Head Zhao Jianguo rushed over.
"Liu Yan, there have been a lot of people in the village with a cold these two days. I think it must be the flu. Take a look and see how you can prevent it." Zhao Jianguo smiled.
Liu Yan chuckled. "Don't worry. Leave it to me."
"Sigh, alright, I know you definitely have a way. Work hard, we just received the notice from the town government, now is the time of the winter flu outbreak. Many towns and cities in the county are full, we must not cause any trouble for the government." Zhao Jianguo quickly said.
Liu Yan nodded, feeling amused in his heart. Ever since Sun Fugui had run away, this was the first time he had spoken to Zhao Jianguo. His attitude had obviously changed.
At the same time, Liu Yan also thought to himself: If the county had more influenza, then those hospitals and pharmacies would have made a huge profit. It was a pity that he had the right medicine, and it was even more effective than those antiviral drugs.
"Amitabha, I hope that the people in this world are not sick, why should they be covered in dust from the medicine on the shelf? You can't rely on others to make money from your sickness like this." In Liu Yan's heart, he suddenly recalled the words that his grandfather often said to him in the past. Immediately, a burst of guilt filled his heart.
Zhao Jianguo ran out. Liu Yan also heard him shouting in the village. He called for the villagers who were not feeling well to come and see Liu Yan.
This time, there were six or seven people. Liu Yan didn't consume too much energy like he did with Little Bean and Liu Erzhu. He explained the pathology of the influenza virus to the villagers, explained the principle of winter healing the body from a traditional Chinese medicine point of view, and finally started prescribing medicine for them.
A set of Chinese medicine for treatment cost 30 yuan and a dosage of 2 days. Not only could the patient eat it, the person with low body resistance could also consume it and drink it like tea without any side effects.
The villagers had long since been convinced by Liu Yan's medical skills. Right now, it was almost spring and everyone wanted to get better, so they took out their money and bought five bags at least, twenty bags at most. In any case, the winter was still long and it was good to be prepared.
After this lively scene passed, Liu Yan earned quite a bit of money. After a day of promotion, every single household in the village bought medicine from him. All of the medicines he brought from the county were sold out in an instant.
Liu Yan did not feel uncomfortable at all. What was valuable was not the medicine, but the knowledge he had about treating illnesses. Right now, he also wanted money, so he did not offer any discounts.
In the afternoon, Liu Yan suddenly received a call from the Director of Health, Li Cuifeng.
"Liu Yan, the county's flu outbreak has occurred recently. The county hospital and the major township hospitals have received many patients, totaling over two thousand people and have already become contagious. Tomorrow, our bureau will hold a seminar, inviting a few hospital doctors to come over to discuss strategies to suppress the spread of the flu. You should come over to chat as well."
Liu Yan panicked. This face was simply too big. He wasn't some famous doctor, how could he attend such an event?
"Bureau Chief Li, there are so many famous doctors in our county. I won't be joining in on the fun." Liu Yan was about to reject the offer.
This is also the chance for you to learn. Come and see, prepare yourself tonight, and try to express your opinion tomorrow as much as possible. If you appear in the medical field of Gu Xing County, I can be considered as having an explanation from the other party.
This time, Liu Yan finally understood. It turned out that Commissioner Li was doing this purely out of respect for Fang Wanchen, the vice president of the Chinese Medical Association.
"Alright, I'll come over sometime tomorrow." Liu Yan agreed. No matter what, Li Cuifeng had helped the clinic before, and Liu Yan would return the favor back to him. Liu Yan agreed, no matter what, Li Cuifeng had helped the clinic before.
"9: 30 PM, in the meeting hall of the Health Bureau. There will be someone waiting for you when you come."
