The pharmacy clerk was surprised to find that the person knocking on the door was Madam Gu.
He was somewhat surprised, "Madam Gu, what brings you here? Our manager said he had time to visit you today."
That was just a polite remark; Manager Qiu didn't even know where she lived.
Gu An'an didn't take it to heart. "Doctors have the heart of parents. I lost my temper with Dr. Tian yesterday because of my family. After thinking it over, I realized it was my fault. So I thought I'd come to apologize to Dr. Tian. Could you please take me to Dr. Tian's house?"
The waiter was surprised that Gu An'an would actually come to apologize in person; that was actually quite good.
He quickly led the way, even though it was only a few steps.
When they arrived at Doctor Tian's house, the waiter noticed the aroma of meat. "Madam Gu, what are you doing here...?"
"I made some food to apologize to Doctor Tian; it wouldn't be right to come empty-handed."
The waiter nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, saying, "You've really thought this through."
Thinking of Doctor Tian's habits, he couldn't help but remind her, "However, Doctor Tian is a bit picky with his words. If he does anything inappropriate, please don't take it to heart, Madam Gu."
Gu An'an nodded, knocked on the brass lock on the door, and said with a smile, "Doctors have the heart of parents, and I have always respected doctors."
The waiter's expression was complicated as he thought about how the gate to the courtyard had already been opened from the inside.
The doctor with the goatee saw the person outside the door, wrinkled his nose, and took a deep breath. "Is there pork in this jar?"
"Yes, it's pork belly with just the right amount of fat. I added some osmanthus wine while cooking it, and used wine lees, red dates, and rock sugar as seasonings. I wonder if Dr. Tian would do me the honor of tasting it?"
Dr. Tian is a well-known gourmand in Anping County.
Its nose is as sensitive as a dog's.
He was staring intently at the ceramic jar when he waved his hand and said, "I have something to say to this young lady. Don't get in my way."
The pharmacy clerk looked aggrieved upon hearing this. He just wanted to see what the meat that had made Doctor Tian's mouth water looked like. Why was Doctor Tian being so stingy?
The man left dejectedly.
"Don't eavesdrop."
The person hiding outside the door looked dejected and, not daring to linger at the door any longer, quickly left.
He's got some skills.
Gu An'an took out a portion of fermented pork from the ceramic jar.
"It took me more than half an hour to get here. The meat is a little cold. Doctor Tian, could you heat it up a bit?"
The blue and white porcelain bowl and plate complement each other, with agate-colored broth near the rim of the bowl, not yet completely solidified.
"No need, it will lose its original flavor if it gets any hotter."
Seeing that the person had already taken chopsticks and was coming over, Gu An'an reached out to stop Doctor Tian, "Excuse my impertinence, but I would like to ask Doctor Tian a question..."
"If Madam wishes for me to detoxify your son, I am not capable of doing so, and I fear I will disappoint you." He put down his chopsticks with some regret.
But his eyes remained fixed on the blue and white porcelain bowl.
For a true gourmet, being unable to eat delicious food in front of them is an extremely painful experience.
"I know, what I want to ask Dr. Tian is whether he can tell me in detail about the treatment you gave my family member back then."
Jiang Mingyi was clearly unaware of this matter, and the old lady of the Jiang family and those other adults probably didn't know either.
Aside from Jiang Laosan, whose fate remains unknown, the only one who can recount what happened back then is probably this Doctor Tian in front of us.
Gu An'an's gaze was intense, fixed on Doctor Tian. "Doctor Tian should still remember this matter, right?"
The renowned doctor from Anping County smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "Of course, it left a deep impression on me."
He remembered it was an early spring evening. He had just returned from treating an old lady and was about to take out his key to unlock the door when suddenly someone came over, holding a child in their arms.
"This child suddenly had a headache and fainted. Doctor, could you please tell me what happened?"
The doctor, nicknamed Tian Buer, looked at the man holding the child and let him into Zheng'an Hall.
Who would have thought that it would be such a terrible mistake?
"At that time, your son was still young, not even five years old. His jaw was clenched and his face was pale. After I took his pulse, I found that his pulse was more disordered than ever before, and there was actually poison circulating in his body."
“Who would be so cruel to a child who is not even five years old? I, Tian Bu'er, consider myself to be a skilled physician, yet I don’t even know what this poison is. Although I suppressed it with acupuncture, I know that this is ultimately only treating the symptoms, not the root cause.”
Tian Bu'er told the man what he had said, but the man pointed at the plaque in the main hall that read "Divine Doctor with a Plumb Line" and cursed loudly, kicking over his medicine cabinet. "What kind of quack doctor are you? You can't even cure his illness. What face do you have to open this Zheng'an Hall?"
The man left with the child in his arms. Tian Bu'er looked at the mess in Zheng'an Hall, where a fire had burned down the place where he had built up his life's work over many years.
He claims to be a miracle doctor, yet he can't figure out what kind of poison this child has been poisoned with. How can he still have the face to practice medicine?
Looking at the young woman sitting there, Tian Bu'er sighed, "That man was tall and thin, with a fierce-looking face, and his hands looked quite bloody."
However, he didn't see any fear on the young woman's face, as if she hadn't listened to him at all.
After a short delay, Tian Bu'er carefully removed the blue-and-white porcelain bowl that had been covering the person who was staring blankly.
The agate-colored chunks of meat suddenly broke apart, and the aroma of the meat was simply irresistible.
Tian Bu'er quickly picked up a piece. "It has a hint of osmanthus wine flavor, melts in your mouth, wonderful! Madam, how is this meat made? May I ask?"
Gu An'an looked at the smug-faced man with the goatee, then picked up the ceramic jar and got up to leave. "Thank you, Dr. Tian. I have to go now."
Tian Bu'er tried to stop the people from leaving, insisting that they should get the recipe no matter what.
"This meat won't taste good when it gets cold."
Upon hearing this, Tian Bu'er dared not chase after him anymore; going back to eat meat was the most important thing.
Gu An'an's mind was a bit of a mess.
That man must be Jiang Laosan. According to Doctor Tian, he probably has some murder cases on his hands.
Having not returned for so many years, he must have already paid for his blood debts.
But what about Jiang Mingyi's poison?
It seems Anping County is still too small; she needs to find another miracle doctor.
If we must talk about miracle doctors, then it is naturally Medicine King Valley.
Medicine King Valley.
It turned out to be Medicine King Valley.
At the same time, Tian Bu'er, who was eating meat, suddenly remembered something—
He had just forgotten that although he still couldn't figure out what kind of poison the young man had been poisoned by, he had already written to his senior brother. His senior brother had done a lot of research on poisons, and if he could come over, he might be able to cure the young man's poison.
Although he had forced out a significant amount of that poison with his golden needles back then, it hadn't affected the young man's life in recent years.
But since it's a poison, keeping it in the body is naturally not good.
Sigh, that lady really is something, why is she walking so fast?
Forget it, let's eat first. We can talk about it next time we have a chance to meet.
