The four of them then entered the reception room, where they were served fragrant tea. Qingshan picked it up and took a sip. It had a rich bean aroma and a sweet aftertaste. It was the best Mingqian Longjing tea.
"Boss Gao, how is your mother doing recently?"
Gao Xiang knew that Chen Qingshan came to see him today because of his old mother's illness. He was grateful and his tone became more respectful:
"Master Chen, ever since my mother started using the prescription you prescribed, the lump on her neck has shrunk a lot. It used to be the size of a date, but now it's only the size of a soybean. She's also gained some weight and is in great shape!"
"Yeah." Qingshan nodded. Old Mrs. Gao's body was almost recovered, and they could really start treating the root cause of the disease.
"Boss Gao, your mother's illness is called sclerotinia in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is caused by stagnation of the liver meridian and blood stasis in the meridians. It must be cured by combining my acupuncture and moxibustion with internal Chinese medicine. I have a prescription for sclerotinia, but I'm still missing two Chinese herbs - leeches and blister beetles. I plan to go to Chongqing City to find these two herbs myself."
The prescription requires golden leeches and yellow and black blister beetles as auxiliary medicines. Ruyi said that the best golden leeches and blister beetles are all from Zhusun Mountain in Chongshi.
Gao Xiang sat up straight after hearing what Chen Qingshan said. "Master Chen, I'm so embarrassed to bother you. I'll send someone to buy it."
Qingshan shook his head. "No, the leeches and blister beetles I need are of a special kind. You may not be able to buy them. Even if you can, their medicinal properties may not meet my requirements. The safest way is for me to catch them myself."
"This...this, Master Chen, I will never forget your great kindness to me..."
Gao Xiang was so moved that his eyes turned red.
Qingshan quickly waved his hand to stop him: "Alright, Boss Gao, it's my duty to treat patients and save lives. Besides, it's not free, you have to pay the consultation fee!"
Gao Xiang quickly stated, "Of course! Master Chen, don't worry. I'll pay you double what Master Zhan paid!"
Zhan Feng: ...Even a loser like you thinks I'm stingy, don't you? I'll give you a damn!
Zhan Feng begged and pleaded to go with them to Chongshi. Although Gao Xiang also wanted to go, he couldn't let his mother go, so he sent a person from Chongshi, the round-faced girl who received Chen Qingshan today - Yang Hongmei, to be a guide for Chen Qingshan and Zhan Feng. The three decided to set off the day after tomorrow.
After finishing what needed to be said, Qingshan and Liu Geyang went to their VIP room. As soon as Qingshan entered, he was almost shaken by the noisy sound waves. The classmates in the room were so happy that they were going crazy. They had never enjoyed such high-end service before!
The students in the private room were roughly divided into four groups: one group was singing karaoke, one was playing the mini-pill game machine, one was playing poker, and one was eating the buffet around the long table. Two waiters stood by the door, always wearing professional and polite smiles, keeping an eye on the goings on in the room and ready to serve the students at any time.
When they saw Qingshan coming in, all the classmates greeted him enthusiastically. If it weren’t for Chen Qingshan, they would never have the chance to come to such a high-end place to play!
Seeing Liu Geyang coming, Yang Guang quickly dropped the small steel ball machine he was playing and ran over.
"Boss, this place is amazing! That little steel ball machine is a new model imported from Japan. I played it last summer when I went to Japan. It's just like this one! Qingshan, you're amazing! Black V cards are super popular in Lian City, and they're in high demand. How did you get them? Zhao Yifei is talking nonsense. You even have black V cards, how can you possibly work at Marriott..."
"Yang Guang!" Liu Geyang yelled angrily when he heard that he was talking nonsense again.
"Why are you talking so much? Have you forgotten what I said? Just go do what you need to do!"
After being yelled at by Liu Geyang, Yang Guang's reason finally took over his IQ. He stuck out his tongue and ran off to play.
Qingshan smiled and said nothing. She took a plate of sushi and sat on the sofa to eat. Liu Geyang sat beside her.
"Xiaoshan, do you need a lot of insects to treat people?"
Qingshan ate some tuna sushi, which tasted good. "Well, insects are widely used in Chinese medicinal materials. Scorpions, centipedes, and leeches are all commonly used in Chinese medicinal materials."
Liu Geyang swallowed hard. He was terrified of insects, especially centipedes. The thought of those densely packed legs and feet made him itch. "Then, can these insects be cultivated artificially?"
"It should be possible. I know some people raise scorpions, but I'm not sure if others can be raised."
Liu Geyang looked at Qingshan's gentle profile and secretly made a decision: he would switch his major to entomology and specialize in raising insects for Xiaoshan to use in traditional Chinese medicine. This way, Xiaoshan wouldn't have to run around catching insects; she could just come to him and get whatever she needed, and he could see Xiaoshan more often.
A person's destiny is often changed by an insignificant little thing. Liu Geyang didn't know that his decision today would change his life's destiny and make him the number one person in China's insect breeding industry.
