364: Chapter 374: Delivering Pears 364: Chapter 374: Delivering Pears Jisheng Hall encountered a repeat custor on its third day of opening.
The young man who ca for a consultation on the first day was now holding two autumn pears, his face brimming with a smile.
“Doctor Gu, just as you said, my cold is really gone.
My nose isn’t stuffed, and I’m not sneezing anymore; I didn’t take any dicine, just drank a lot of warm water.
Look, you didn’t charge a consultation fee, and I don’t have much to thank you with.
These are pears from my own yard, here are two for you to taste.”
That he had recovered so quickly was sothing Gu Youyou had expected—the young man was young and didn’t need dication for such a minor ailnt.
“Your illness wasn’t serious and didn’t require dication to begin with.
I’ve said that I am offering free consultations, so how can I accept your pears?”
The young man insisted on giving Gu Youyou the pears, and said embarrassedly, “That day…
I said so unpleasant things, causing no one to co here for free consultations.
I feel very ashad.
There’s nothing valuable at ho, but the pears from the pear tree are sweet.
Please accept them; otherwise, I’ll feel uneasy.”
Seeing that Gu Youyou wouldn’t accept them, his face turned red, and he placed the pears down and ran off, afraid that Gu Youyou would co after him.
“Hey…”
The young man ran off swiftly and disappeared into the crowd as soon as he exited the door.
Banxia was surprised and asked, “Can drinking lots of water really cure illnesses?”
Noticing how intelligent Banxia was and her familiarity with various dicinal properties from a young age, Gu Youyou intended to train her to beco another female doctor, so she patiently explained to her the many benefits of water.
“From a broader perspective, water is the basis of all life, and nourishes all things in the world.
Life begins with water, so you must not underestimate the role of water.
Of course, not all illnesses can be treated by simply drinking more water.
As they say, if that were the case, there would be no use for dicine.
Like that young man, in the early stages of a cold, his body was strong enough not to require dication, and drinking more water was sufficient for his recovery.”
Banxia took every word of Gu Youyou to heart and went off to practice writing.
Gu Youyou gave her one of the pears, saying, “Let’s each have one.”
Banxia shook her head hastily, saying, “I shouldn’t take it, you and Brother Jin should each have one.”
Could Jin Zijin lack pears to eat?
He is probably accustod to daily delicacies.
Gu Youyou said, “Never mind him, he doesn’t like pears.”
Thanks to the young man’s tireless promotion and the allure of free consultations, they welcod their third client, then the fourth…
Although they all just took ho the prescriptions in the end, it still gradually increased the popularity of Gu Youyou’s Jisheng Hall.
She wasn’t in a hurry.
Nothing is easy, especially a dical hall—it takes ti to build a reputation.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and she had just taken the first one.
Two days later, the elder sister who had co for gynecological issues returned.
This ti, she didn’t cover her head with cloth, but instead ca over directly in the evening.
She grabbed Gu Youyou’s hand excitedly and said, “Doctor Gu, it worked, it really worked.
The dicine you gave —after just one wash, the itching stopped.
After washing for two more days, even ‘that’ color turned back to normal.
It’s not yellow anymore; it’s the normal color you described.
I ca here mainly to thank you.
Hey, it’s so troubleso for won to get this kind of ailnt, too embarrassed to go to a dical hall and only able to endure the discomfort.
Luckily, you’re a female doctor.”
Gu Youyou offered words of comfort and then said, “Let have a look!”
This ti, she wasn’t shy; she went directly into a small partition with Gu Youyou for her examination.
