Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1059: Bian Mu Almost Fell There

It's not uncommon for capable people to have a bit of a weird temperament, and Bian Mu was prepared for this.

"I'm sorry! I came in a hurry, so I specially prepared a few 'Wangtianbai', a specialty of Heilongtan. Please accept them!" As he said this, Bian Mu hurried to the bench and brought the cage of fresh fish to the old village doctor.

"It's really a genuine product! It seems... your fishing skills are close to the sixth level, right? You are so young, I really underestimated you! Is this all you have? Nothing else?" Good guy! The old village doctor had a big appetite and asked for it directly.

It's a bit disrespectful to the elderly.

"I am a junior with limited abilities, so I am just making do with what I have... Here are some natural bezoar and purple cloud ginseng. They are a bit shabby, so please forgive me! I will make up for it next time!" Bian Mu didn't expect the old man to speak so frankly, and he spoke without thinking for a moment.

Seeing that Bian Mu was a little embarrassed, the old village doctor showed a cunning look on his face. He snorted lightly, took the two special medicine paper boxes from Bian Mu's hands in a careless manner, sat down on the bench, and without any courtesy, opened the lid of the paper box and took a look.

“Well! It’s top-grade natural bezoar. You have some vision. You didn’t get cheated by those profiteers. But... this purple cloud ginseng... it’s artificially cultivated. How can there be natural purple cloud ginseng in these two years? It’s okay. The quality is good. Who are these people? They must have secretly planted it in the mountains!” Good medicine is afraid of light. As he spoke, the old village doctor skillfully sealed the herbal blanket, quickly closed the lid, and tied it tightly with a straw rope.

Seeing this scene, Bian Mu couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.

It was obvious that the old village doctor usually lived in poverty in terms of medical supplies. When he suddenly saw so many fine and precious medicines, his heart was already beaming with joy. He was just showing off his ability and decorating his status as a senior.

It was not until then that Old Hou found out what kind of gifts Doctor Bian had given him. He had been hanging around on the streets for many years, so he might not know much about other medicinal materials, but he knew the price of natural bezoar very well. Wow! How many grams does it cost? It's a good thing that's more expensive than gold!

"Doctor Bian is so arrogant! I really underestimated him before. Look at what he did! It seems that he is much more cunning than I thought. I have to be more careful when dealing with him in the future!" Invisibly, Old Hou added a bit of awe to Bian Muping.

"Your surname seems to be Hou, right? There is spring water connected to the water pipe over there, the black faucet. Don't get it wrong, every faucet here is particular, see it? There is wild mountain tea drying in front of the west room door, boil water and make tea! Xiaobian and I will go into the room to chat for a while. It's a little sunny here. I'm old and can't stand it anymore." After saying this, the old village doctor collected the three gifts and went to open the door of the main clinic.

What Old Hou brought were some worldly gifts such as health oral liquid, boxed milk, and good wine, but the old village doctor just ignored them and pretended to be confused!
Old Hou was thick-skinned. He gave a wry smile and followed the two closely, placing the gifts he had brought one by one in an inconspicuous place in the clinic. He knew very well that the old village doctor was a thrifty person and was usually very stingy. He could actually appreciate even the most worthless things, but he just liked to show off.

It’s not surprising that people become weird as they get older!
Seeing that Lao Hou had gone away, the old village doctor changed his expression and spoke politely to Bian Mu.

"Please take a seat! You are so young, but I have heard of your name. You must be quite capable. Tell me! What do you want from me?"

The consulting room was furnished with an old-fashioned armchair made of old mountain wood. In the past two years, this style of old furniture has become rare. Bian Mu smiled at the old village doctor and sat down on another armchair next to it.

"There was a middle school girl who accidentally scratched her face while playing with her classmates in the park. I plan to use your idea of ​​​​medicine rope to help her treat the wound. Usually... I seldom use Chinese patent medicines such as medicine ropes, and I am worried that I will accidentally delay the child's treatment, so... I would like to ask you to help check it." As he spoke, without reservation, Bian Mu explained in detail how he planned to prepare the medicine rope, what the process would be, which Chinese herbal medicines to use, and the specific treatment plan.

Bian Mu felt that he was quite sincere. "Humph! At first glance, you are not simple! Among the young and cutting-edge generation... even if you are not in the top three, you should still be in the top five. What a pity! Your reputation is ruined by complacency. Fortunately, you have some self-knowledge and know to go to the countryside in such a hot day. Otherwise, after using your plan, the girl's face is smooth. In this regard, you are really good, but... have you ever thought about how to deal with the color difference? The scar is shallow, and even... the wound is indeed tightly closed, but what is the result? A fair face was scratched by you with an ink pen. If you are unlucky, it will never heal! Tell me, are you helping her or harming her?!" After sneering a few times, the old village doctor retorted without any hesitation.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bian Mu was frightened by the old man and broke out in a cold sweat.

Bian Mu just stood there stupidly!
What the old village doctor said is the truth!
Despite all his calculations, Bian Mu still missed several important points due to his carelessness. He was so panicked that he didn't know how to remedy the situation.

Medical malpractice! A medical malpractice! He had already signed an agreement with both parents.

It's too suspenseful!

This was the first time that Bian Mu had made a mistake since he became famous. He accidentally stepped on a "Waterloo" mine! His reputation for half a lifetime was almost ruined by himself.

"Should I go to the park to find out what material the oar used by the boy who caused the accident was made of, and what the water quality was like when he was rowing... I wonder if what I said is right?" This was the first time that Bian Mu said this without any confidence, and his tone naturally dropped a few degrees.

"It's not too bad! At least you can find half of the technical loopholes. I'm not saying anything bad about you... You are so young, but you keep crying and shouting about combining Chinese and Western medicine. Damn it! You haven't even figured out all those fragments passed down by our ancestors, and you dare to shamelessly introduce Western medicine to the East, and forcibly mix two things that are completely incompatible with each other together?! You are so brave! Why don't you treat it! Really!" As the old village doctor spoke, he seemed to remember some old stories, and his tone of voice suddenly became higher. Outsiders thought that the old man was scolding Bian Mu at this moment!
Bian Mu felt guilty and didn't dare to even breathe.

The tea was almost ready when Lao Hou heard something strange coming from the room and hurried in with a set of fine tea sets.

"Have some tea, have some tea, old man! Let's talk it over, let's talk it over!" As he spoke, Old Hou quickly made hot tea for the two of them.

Old Hou hung out on the streets all day long. He knew at a glance that Bian Mu had been rejected by the old village doctor. He was very surprised and found a chair nearby and sat down with mixed feelings.

"It's strange! Even if he can't claim that his medical skills are the best in the world, he is still a very powerful first-class master. Why is he so timid in front of this old guy? What's going on?!" For a moment, Old Hou felt a little nervous.

……

After a long silence, the old village doctor finally spoke.

"Tell me, with different water qualities and different oar materials, how should we, as Chinese medicine practitioners, deal with this correctly?"

"This... I am a stupid junior and need to organize my thoughts... After returning to the city, the first thing I will do is go to the park to investigate..." In an extremely rare case, Bian Mu suddenly became incoherent.
