Chapter 166
"Ah? Why? Brother Xiaopang, are you going to be transferred to another place to be a leader? Congratulations!"
"What are you congratulating me for?! Woohoo! Look!"
The fat boy took out a medical record book from his pocket and handed it to Su Miao tremblingly.
Su Miao extracted a few key words from it: "Overweight, severe fatty liver, high uric acid, high blood lipids? Brother! This is a serious problem!"
In this day and age, there are not many people who can get even one of these, let alone so many. Brother Xiaopang is really so well-rounded!
The little fat brother was crying: "My aunt asked my uncle to go for a check-up, and the result was found. Then my uncle asked me to go again. Woo woo woo, I am going to suffer a lot in the future. The doctor said that I can't eat any offal until I get better. Not only offal, but even white rice can only be eaten by a fist. He asked me to eat whole grains! Eat whole grains! Isn't this going back to the pre-liberation era!"
Su Miao said sympathetically, "Brother Xiaopang, you still have to listen to the doctor's professional advice. Most of these diseases are related to obesity. You can adjust your diet structure, exercise more, and lose weight."
"Not letting me eat delicious meat is like killing me! Forcing me to exercise is like killing me!"
"There's no other way, right?"
"Yes! I found a folk remedy, it's Western medicine! Everyone who has tried it says it's good!" The little fat brother was visibly excited.
Su Miao quickly stopped him: "Wait! Folk remedy? Is it for treating these diseases or for losing weight?"
"Of course it's for weight loss! They said they had these diseases when they were fat before, so they took this medicine! They lost weight in half a year, and when they went for another checkup, those diseases were gone too."
Su Miao asked doubtfully, "Who are they? Why do they sound so unreliable?"
"They're just some business owners. They usually eat and drink a lot and are fat, but a few of them actually lost weight all of a sudden. I had to beg and plead to get the medicine. You know, things from abroad have to be brought in secretly."
When saying the last sentence, the fat boy lowered his voice. If Su Miao had not cleaned his ears the day before, he probably wouldn't have been able to hear it clearly.
Su Miao also lowered his voice and said, "Little Fatty! Why do I feel so much like a toy? When it comes to taking medicine, I think you should be cautious! All medicines are toxic, especially when it comes to unknown ingredients. It's not good to take them carelessly."
"Don't worry, my friends are still taking it. I took the medicine directly from their bags, so it can't be fake. I'll take it for a few days first. If I feel uncomfortable, I won't take it anymore."
Su Miao tried to persuade him again and again, but seeing that he was really determined to try it, he could only tell him to pay attention to his physical condition and stop taking the medicine and seek medical attention immediately if there was any problem.
Xiaopang Ge has to control his diet for a while, but the employees in his company and factory don’t have to, so takeout will still be delivered as usual.
In addition to orders from several other units and companies, they have to produce hundreds of set meals for group meals every day, and there are also hundreds of kilograms of braised food and pork offal ordered separately.
In addition, there are dine-in meals and take-away meals. The store’s daily turnover is more than 500 yuan. After deducting various costs, the daily net profit can reach more than 200 yuan, which means a profit of nearly 7,000 yuan a month.
When Su Miao saw the little fat brother again half a month later, he was shocked.
"Little Fatty! You've lost a lot of weight!"
The fat boy pulled the corners of his mouth weakly and stared at the menu in a daze.
"Brother Xiaopang, what's wrong? What do you want to eat today? I'll treat you!" Su Miao said.
"I...I want to eat braised food and pork offal, but I can only chew it and can't swallow it. It's not convenient to eat it here."
Now that the weather is hot, the self-service porridge is available again. Su Miao suggested: "How about a bowl of corn porridge? With some side dishes, I can pick out some non-greasy braised dishes for you to satisfy your craving?"
“Okay… okay!”
The fat boy brought the porridge, picked up some sour taro shoots and water spinach stems, and sat down at the empty table listlessly.
After a while, Su Miao brought over a dish of braised food, including braised eggs, braised tofu, braised duck feet, etc. He deliberately did not choose fat and offal.
The little fat guy started eating slowly, but he looked a little painful.
Su Miao said, "Little Fatty, you're not in the right state. Before, when you drank a glass of water, everyone around you thought it smelled delicious. Why do you seem to have such a hard time eating now?"
"Oh! I don't know if it's my own problem or if thin people just don't like to eat. Ever since I started losing weight, my appetite has been getting worse day by day. They told me that as long as I don't eat anything, I won't get fat. They told me to chew meat and then spit it out. It's so painful. I don't even feel like eating now. Sometimes I even feel like vomiting while eating."
"Ah! It's so serious! Brother Xiaopang, have you seen a doctor? Could it be caused by the medicine you mentioned before? The side effects are too severe."
Su Miao observed the fat boy carefully. He had really lost a lot of weight. His big round belly had disappeared by half. The clothes he wore half a month ago were now loose on him. Even his chin had become thinner and his face looked sallow.
"I doubted it, too, but the medicine is indeed effective. Look how much weight I lost in no time. I want to lose even more weight, so I didn't go to the hospital. If I had gone, the doctor would have definitely told me not to take it!"
Su Miao advised, "That won't work. You're losing weight to be healthier. If you make yourself unhealthier in order to lose weight, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
"Huh? A tongue twister."
Su Yuanzheng heard their conversation and came over. He observed Xiaopang's expression and said seriously, "Xiaopang! You really need to go to the hospital. Not only is your face very yellow, but even the whites of your eyes are yellowing. This is a symptom of liver disease!"
The fat boy was so frightened that he shuddered: "Uncle Yuan! Is this true? Don't scare me."
There were a few neighbors nearby who came to drink porridge every day. They were familiar with the fat boy who often came to eat, and they also joined in.
"Young man! Yellow face and eyes really mean liver problems. Last year, when we checked for liver flukes, those who were found to be infected suddenly became thinner and had sallow complexions."
Su Miao said, "Little Fatty, don't delay. Go to the hospital for a checkup right away. It would be best if you're healthy, so you can rest assured. If there's a problem, you can get treatment in time!"
When the fat boy heard that his liver was not working well, he couldn't eat anything. He picked up his briefcase and walked out.
"Don't wait! I'm getting scared now, I'll go now! I'll go now!"
"Can you do it by yourself? Or let my dad take you there?" Su Miao asked after chasing after him.
"No need to send me, I'm still fine! I still have some strength, but I may not know once the diagnosis is confirmed."
The fat boy climbed onto his bicycle and pedaled like a Hot Wheels, wanting to find a doctor immediately.
Oh my god! Liver disease? That can be fatal! No way!!! If he dies, he'll never be able to eat good food again.
