Beautiful genius Chinese medicine practitioner and clingy CEO

Seeing that lunch time was approaching, Governor Tao said to Gu Shanzhi, "Doctor Gu, it's almost lunch time. How about we go have a meal first?"

Gu Shanzhi looked at his watch and saw that it was already past twelve o'clock. He nodded and said, "Governor Tao, I want to eat some special dishes from North City. Do you have any recommendations? I don't want a big hotel, just a small restaurant."

Governor Tao thought for a moment and said, "I happen to know a shop that sells authentic donkey meat hotpot."

"That one."

Not long after, the driver took Governor Tao, Gu Shanzhi and the other two to the door of a small shop.

A glance from outside the door showed that the small shop was packed with people: "It's so lively, the food must be delicious," Gu Shanzhi began to feel greedy when he saw this scene.

"Hmm, it smells so good." Fang Yuan also smelled the fragrance in the air.

Governor Tao personally found an empty seat and asked Gu Shanzhi and the others to sit down: "Doctor Gu, I hope you don't mind that this place is small and messy, but this is a decades-old shop."

"How could that be? Only restaurants like this can taste good. Big hotels all taste the same."

"Hahaha, Doctor Gu is indeed an expert. You really impressed me."

Gu Shanzhi said modestly: "That's not the case with Governor Tao. I'm just an ordinary doctor and an ordinary person who likes to eat delicious food."

"I'll just tell you the truth. Actually, at first, when I saw you, I thought you looked too young and I didn't trust you very much. But Professor Qin strongly recommended you, so I thought about letting you try."

Gu Shanzhi admired Governor Tao's honesty: "I know."

Governor Tao was shocked: "Then are you still willing to come?"

"I don't look like a reliable Chinese medicine practitioner because of my age, but all doctors hope to spare no effort to help patients in need. I decided to come here because I saw your filial piety, Governor Tao."

Governor Tao completely let down his guard against Gu Shanzhi and accepted him from the bottom of his heart: "From now on, just call me Uncle Tao. My name is Tao Yuancang. Calling me Governor Tao is too unfamiliar. So I'll leave my mother's illness to Dr. Gu."

"I'll do my best, Uncle Tao."

After talking it out thoroughly, both of them felt that the other was an honest person. The prerequisite for good cooperation is mutual trust, and now they have full trust in each other.

A meal of donkey meat hotpot made Gu Shanzhi and Fang Yuan feel the power of food. After eating and drinking, Gu Shanzhi went to the pharmacy to buy a large bottle of alcohol and cotton, as well as disposable rubber gloves. After everything was ready, he followed Governor Tao back to the Tao family's ancestral home.

Gu Shanzhi first asked Zhou Meifen for a clean bowl, put on gloves, rubbed the loose cotton into strips, used them as fuses, made a simple disinfecting alcohol lamp, then took out the acupuncture needles from the bag, spread them out, took out the needles, put them on the fire to disinfect them, and then accurately inserted the needles into the corresponding acupuncture points.

During the acupuncture treatment, Governor Tao was outside the door, while Zhou Meifen and Fang Yuan were inside. Zhou Meifen helped the old lady wipe her sweat from time to time, while Fang Yuan helped Gu Shanzhi pass the needles.

After all the needles were inserted, Gu Shanzhi began to say to Zhou Meifen: "Aunt Zhou, the acupuncture will take 30 minutes. Now go out and boil the medicine. Boil 4 bowls of water on high heat for 30 minutes, then on low heat for 10 minutes. When the juice is about one bowl, drink the medicine within 15 minutes after I remove the needles. The effect will be best at this time."

Zhou Meifen quickly agreed and then went out.

As soon as she went out, Governor Tao stopped her and said, "Sister-in-law, what's going on inside?"

"Doctor Gu said acupuncture will take 30 minutes. I'll go boil the medicine first. Mom sweated a lot when the needle was first inserted. I don't know any medical skills, but I just feel that Doctor Gu can cure Mom. I won't talk to you for now. I'll go boil the medicine."

After saying that, he hurried to the kitchen.

Gu Shanzhi inside the room told Fang Yuan to keep an eye on the old lady. Fang Yuan said, "It's my first time as a nurse, so I'm a little nervous."

“Enjoy it, it’s an immersive experience.”

Fang Yuan was amused, and then he found a chair and sat beside the bed to observe the old lady's condition. Gu Shanzhi went out to reply to Governor Tao.

Governor Tao was walking back and forth outside the door. When he saw Gu Shanzhi, he asked, "Doctor Gu, how is my mother?"

"From the acupuncture treatment just now, it seems that grandma is very weak, but she should wake up a little after this acupuncture treatment, and then continue to fall into a deep sleep. I will come here every day to give her acupuncture and use Chinese medicine to expel the accumulated toxins in her body first."

Governor Tao nodded quickly, and then Gu Shanzhi returned to the room, waiting for the time to remove the needle.

The old lady lay motionless on the bed the whole time, but her face was sweating. Gu Shanzhi and Fang Yuan took turns wiping her sweat. When the time was up, Gu Shanzhi began to remove the needles. After removing them, she asked Fang Yuan to disinfect and reinsert them one by one according to the method she taught her. The two of them worked in perfect harmony.

All the needles were removed. Soon Zhou Meifen came in with medicine: "This medicine is very hot. It needs to be cooled for a while."

Gu Shanzhi turned to Zhou Meifen and said, "Auntie Zhou, please prepare a trash can for me and put on a trash bag. After you drink the medicine, you may vomit within half an hour. This is normal. Now please go and boil the second bowl of medicine. Add two bowls of hot water and boil it for 15 minutes."

"Oh, okay. I'll go right away." Then he quickly put the trash can covered with a trash bag next to the bed and continued to boil the medicine.

Gu Shanzhi called Governor Tao in and told him about the reaction after the old lady took the medicine. Although Governor Tao was very worried, he also expressed his understanding. Governor Tao helped the old lady up and leaned her against the bed, then fed her the medicine spoonful by spoonful with his own hands.
