After confirming his thoughts, Xu Jianguo drank the tea in the cup, then stood up and left the study.
After returning to the bedroom and changing his clothes, he quickly left the space and returned to the dormitory of the Central Health Bureau.
After checking the door lock and finding nothing unusual, Xu Jianguo took off his coat and got into bed. After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
No words were spoken that night.
At six o'clock the next morning, Xu Jianguo woke up from his sleep on time.
Because he had to make medicine for the woman this morning, he suspended his morning exercise.
After taking care of his personal physiological problems and washing up, Xu Jianguo took out his shoulder bag from the space, then picked up the medicinal materials he had brought back from the Chinese medicine room last night and left the dormitory.
Because Lu Chuan had already told him the location of the cafeteria before he parted with the three old men yesterday, Xu Jianguo found the cafeteria easily.
The canteen of the Health Bureau is different from that of other factories and mines. No meal ticket is required. Everyone who comes to the Health Bureau, whether you are a staff member, a patient or a family member, can eat in the canteen for free. Of course, this is what Lu Chuan told him.
Therefore, after Xu Jianguo entered the cafeteria, he went directly to the food window and ordered a bowl of sweet soy milk and three fried dough sticks, plus a boiled egg and a plate of pickles.
After the food was brought to the table, Xu Jianguo began to eat it with big mouthfuls.
I have to say that the chefs in the canteen of a national unit are really good. The fried dough sticks are crispy and the soy milk is thick, which are both the flavors that Xu Jianguo likes.
While they were eating, Lu Chuan, Qin Zhan and Zhao Hongtu walked in from outside and saw Xu Jianguo who was concentrating on eating.
The three of them smiled, but did not go over to say hello directly. Instead, they ran to the window first. After making breakfast, they took it to the table where Xu Jianguo was and sat down.
"Huh? Director Lu, Mr. Qin, and Mr. Zhao, good morning!" Xu Jianguo said vaguely with a fried dough stick in his mouth.
"Good morning! How did you sleep last night?" Lu Chuan asked.
"I slept well!"
"That's good, eat quickly, we have a tough battle to fight this morning!"
"Yeah, okay!"
In less than half an hour, the four of them finished breakfast, got up and left the cafeteria together, and then, led by Lu Chuan, went to the ward where they had been yesterday.
Since the wards of the Health Bureau are all independent and well-equipped with both Western and traditional Chinese medicine, Xu Jianguo does not need to go elsewhere to make the medicine. The medicine jars he needs are already in the ward.
Unlike yesterday, the guards outside the ward today were obviously much more polite when they saw Xu Jianguo and his three companions.
This made Lu Chuan, who was standing aside waiting for his documents to be checked, very unhappy. The wrinkles on his old face were deeper than usual.
The four of them didn't stay for too long. They asked someone to get the medicine jar and went to the kitchen together.
Lu Chuan and the other two were arranged by Xu Jianguo to sit aside. He started to work alone, cleaning the medicine jars and processing the medicinal materials. The whole process was smooth and the three old men kept nodding their heads as they watched.
In this way, after all the medicinal materials were processed, Xu Jianguo officially began the process of making the medicine.
He sat by the fire, looking at the watch while putting the herbs into the medicine jar one by one, then covered the lid and waited slowly.
From time to time, he would open the Eye of Time and Space to observe the condition of the medicine in the medicine jar.
The three old men standing by looked at Xu Jianguo's serious expression and didn't know how to say anything, so they had to wait with him.
But as they watched, Qin Zhan and Zhao Hongtu realized something was wrong. Normally, when they were making medicine soup, they needed to open the lid from time to time to check the condition of the medicine liquid to avoid the pot running dry.
But Xu Jianguo was completely different. After he closed the lid, he just waited quietly by the side and never opened the lid once.
After enduring for a long time, the impatient Zhao Hongtu could no longer bear it and asked, "Jianguo, don't you want to open the lid and take a look?"
Xu Jianguo shook his head and said, "No need!"
"Uh... then how do you tell if the herbal broth is ready? What if it dries up?"
Other traditional Chinese medicine doctors may not be able to answer this question, but Xu Jianguo's medical skills were acquired through a systematic approach, and he is a formal "professional".
There were indeed records of this in the ancient medical books in his mind.
The general content is that when a skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor is making a decoction, he can judge whether the decoction is ready by the time, water mist, smell and the sound of the boiling liquid.
Moreover, many ancient Chinese medical masters believed that if the lid was opened frequently while boiling medicine, the essence of the medicine would be lost.
Although Xu Jianguo didn't know whether what was written in the ancient medical books was correct, as it was the crystallization of thousands of years of wisdom, there shouldn't be any problems with it.
In addition, he has the help of the Eye of Time and Space. For example, he can use the method of boiling medicine "three bowls of water into one bowl", which is known to children. It is impossible for him to have a dry pot situation.
After Xu Jianguo finished telling the three old men the theories he knew, Qin Zhan and Zhao Hongtu fell into deep thought, as if they were trying hard to digest what they had just heard.
As a Western doctor, Lu Chuan didn't feel much, but just nodded to express his approval of Xu Jianguo.
In the blink of an eye, it was eight forty in the morning. Under the observation of the Eye of Time and Space, the medicine in the medicine pot had begun to become a little thick. Seeing this, Xu Jianguo quickly removed the fire from the stove and continued to boil the medicine liquid with only the residual heat of the medicine pot itself.
He stood up and called over two guards from the corridor. After giving them a few words, he looked at the three old men and said, "Director Lu, Elder Qin, and Elder Zhao, I think the leader should be awake by now. Let's go to the ward first. If she's awake, I'll need to take her pulse first before I can give her the medicine."
"Are you drinking this medicine on an empty stomach?"
“That’s right!”
"Okay, let's go!"
"Well, don't forget what I said yesterday. If the chief gets angry, you three have to help me hold it back!" Xu Jianguo deliberately put on a cowardly look and spoke.
"Look at what you have accomplished!" Qin Zhan said unhappily, but even so, the three old men were a little bit disgusted at this time.
Others don't understand that woman, but they know that she is notoriously sharp-tongued and difficult to deal with in the entire central government and the Red Wall Courtyard. If she really gets angry, it will be difficult to deal with.
However, as the director of the Health Bureau, Lu Chuan is not a man without confidence. He has made up his mind that if this old woman really dares to touch Xu Jianguo, he will call his superiors. He is even prepared to contact Mr. Xiao directly.
After leaving two guards to watch the medicine pot, the four of them walked towards the ward.
