Chapter 62 Advice
Chu Xuan reminded him, "Don't you have Hou Mingliang's contact information? Doesn't he also want to collect some abalone?"
Mu Chenze's brows were filled with helplessness. "I tried to contact them, but no one answered the phone. We had agreed to talk on the phone the day after tomorrow."
"Maybe he wasn't awake yet and didn't hear the phone ring."
"That shouldn't be the case. I called three times, but no one answered. It's very likely that he's not home."
"Maybe he's in the hospital? His mother hasn't been discharged yet."
"Right! Why didn't I think of this?" Mu Chenze looked at Lin Yong, "Brother Lin, let's go to Peng City First Hospital first."
"Okay."
Lin Yong did as he was told.
Twenty minutes later, we arrived near the hospital.
Lin Yong found a deserted place to park his car.
Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan got out of the car and separately inquired about the ward for Hou Mingliang's mother. They agreed to meet back in the car in twenty minutes.
I don’t know the old man’s name, but I know he was admitted to the hospital due to heart disease.
About ten minutes later, Mu Chenze really found out with his handsome face that it would be inappropriate to go to the ward empty-handed, so he returned to the truck, asked Lin Yong to tell Chu Xuan a few words, then picked up a bucket of abalone and walked towards Hou Mingliang's mother's ward.
A few minutes later, Chu Xuan returned to the truck, but was unable to find out anything. The medical staff refused to tell her.
After hearing what Lin Yong said, I realized that Mu Chenze had already found out.
I have to admire Mu Chenze's communication skills.
Chu Xuan waited patiently in the car.
Twenty minutes later, Mu Chenze and Hou Mingliang came over together.
Hou Mingliang opened the carriage and inspected the goods.
There was ice in each bucket, and the abalone were basically alive and very large in size. Hou Mingliang was very satisfied with this batch of goods.
Mu Chenze told him the price, 3,000 yuan.
In the past, I wouldn’t sell it for less than 3,500 yuan, but today is different.
Hou Mingliang agreed on the spot, but required the goods to be delivered to the door. He went back to the hospital to greet the medical staff, and then drove his own car to lead the way.
An hour later, we arrived at the delivery location.
Located in the suburbs of Peng City, very close to the airport, it is a small processing plant that can process abalone, sea cucumbers, etc.
After unloading the goods, Hou Mingliang called the accountant over to settle the bill on the spot.
At the same time, he also told Mu Chenze that if he had such good abalone in the future, he could just send it to him.
He will greet the manager here.
He had only left his home phone number and address before, but this time, he also wrote down the factory phone number and address to Mu Chenze.
Mu Chenze didn't expect that the car accident would create a long-term customer.
Lin Yong needed to go somewhere else to pick up goods. It was a job that had been arranged in advance. Time was tight, so he could only drop Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan off at the nearest bus stop.
They first took a bus to the city station, and then took a bus back to the county town.
When we returned to the county town, it was already 12:30 noon.
Mu Chenze couldn't help but sigh, "Chu Xuan, we had a close call today, we should celebrate. Let's go! I'll treat you to dinner at the County Hotel!"
Chu Xuan was indeed hungry, "Okay!"
When they arrived at the restaurant, Mu Chenze knew that Chu Xuan couldn't eat seafood because she was taking Chinese medicine, so he ordered sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork, dry pot cauliflower, scrambled eggs with cucumber, white noodle dumpling soup and rice.
They are all dishes that Chu Xuan can eat.
The only regret is that Chu Xuan cannot drink alcohol at the moment. Mu Chenze felt it was boring to drink alone, so he simply didn't buy any wine.
Mu Chenze's appetite is inversely proportional to his weight, and he eats more than Chu Xuan.
All the food was eaten up, not even the dumpling soup was left.
After dinner, Mu Chenze paid the bill.
After the two of them walked out of the restaurant, Chu Xuan wanted to go to the county Chinese medicine hospital to see a doctor and get medicine, but Mu Chenze insisted on going with her.
Chu Xuan couldn't persuade him, so she had to agree.
When we arrived at the hospital, the old Chinese doctor had just started work.
Chu Xuan hung up the first number in the afternoon.
Mu Chenze did not go into the outpatient clinic and sat outside waiting, but he could hear what the old Chinese doctor said.
"Chu Xuan, your pulse is a little strange. Did you take the Chinese medicine on time last time?"
Chu Xuan spoke truthfully, "I drank on time. I also followed your instructions and didn't eat seafood or spicy food."
"Your pulse now shows liver depression transforming into fire, and qi stagnation and blood stasis, which means the Chinese medicine you took last time didn't work as expected. You have dark circles under your eyes, have you been staying up late? Also, is your left leg numb?"
"That's right. These past few days I've been selling grilled fish fillets at night and sleeping during the day. My left leg is indeed numb. Doctor, you're amazing!"
"It's not me who's doing this, it's your pulse that's telling you. Listen to my advice. You must get at least seven hours of sleep at night, and take a half-hour to an hour nap. Otherwise, no matter how much medicine you take, I can't guarantee you'll be well again."
“But my business is just starting…”
Before she could finish, the old Chinese doctor interrupted her, "Don't forget that you're also obese, and your heart will be affected. It's your choice whether to make money or save your life! If you continue to stay up late, it's better not to take the medicine I prescribed, so that others don't think you died from it. I'll have to bear the blame then."
In her previous life, Chu Xuan was incredibly lazy and never made it through the night, so she had never heard the old Chinese doctor say such things.
In this life, the advice from the old Chinese doctor forced Chu Xuan to replan his career.
I have to save my life first, but I can’t give up the grilled fish fillet business.
This requires her to go back and think carefully about it.
But she couldn't say that. Instead, she looked very educated and said, "Doctor, thank you for your advice! From today on, I will definitely not stay up late anymore. Please prescribe some medicine for me!"
With her guarantee, the old Chinese doctor began to write the prescription.
Half an hour later, Chu Xuan came to Mu Chenze carrying a bag of Chinese medicine and said, "Let's go! Go back."
Mu Chenze's expression was a little complicated. "How about I help you sell grilled fish fillets in the early morning? At worst, you can pay me."
Chu Xuan was touched, "Did you hear everything?"
"Yes! Your body is different from others. Obesity is a disease and needs to be treated. I'm healthy, so I just need to catch up on some sleep after staying up late."
Others can stay up late for a long time, but Chu Xuan cannot, because staying up late means shortening her life.
Mu Chenze didn't want Chu Xuan to die young from the bottom of his heart.
Chu Xuan thought back to her previous life. For eight years, except for heavy rain and typhoon days, Mu Chenze stayed up late. Every year he would seek treatment from an old Chinese doctor, but the old doctor had never said anything as serious as today.
"Mu Chenze, go home and discuss this with your family. Only if they agree can I cooperate with you in selling grilled fish fillets. Also, I need to tell you in advance that I plan to hand over the grilled fish workshop to the village in the future and only take the dividends. This means that our cooperation in grilled fish fillets may end at any time. Taking all these factors into consideration, if your family still agrees to our cooperation, the net profit of the grilled fish fillets will be split 50-50."
Mu Chenze smiled calmly, "Is the dividend quite tempting? Okay! I'll go back and discuss it with my family first. Let's go back quickly?"
Chu Xuan hummed, feeling sleepy and tired.
After getting on the bus back to town, Chu Xuan slept all the way.
Fortunately, I didn’t snore.
Just as I was about to snore, I was woken up by Mu Chenze when the station arrived.
Wake up quickly.
After getting off the car, Mu Chenze did not leave separately from Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan jokingly said, "Didn't you always go your separate ways when you got to town before? What happened today?"
