Chapter 411 Job Change
After nine o'clock in the evening, Yu Zhiming returned to his residence in Zijinyuan, and Qingning brought out a fragrant casserole from the kitchen.
"What's the stew?"
The ingredients in the casserole were all cut into small pieces. Yu Zhiming couldn't tell the others apart from the wolfberries.
"Soft-shelled turtle and pigeon soup, and yam, they say it's very nourishing."
Yu Zhiming uttered, "Just like last night, let's eat together..."
Yu Zhiming, his fourth sister and Qing Ning sat at the dining table, eating and talking about Director Liu Yun.
"The Medical Department has already started an investigation. Director Liu was so angry that she asked for leave and went home. This hurdle won't be easy for her."
"This is what she deserves. Who made her bully you?"
Yu Xiangwan gloated and said, "Old Five, Dad called in the evening."
"They said they've run out of ginseng and American ginseng at home, and they asked you to buy some more and have your third sister bring it back."
"It's gone so soon?" Yu Zhiming was a little surprised.
The American ginseng was given by Cezer, an American foreigner who is prone to cancer, and the ginseng was given by Teacher Qi Yue.
They're all good quality stuff.
After Yu Zhiming got it, he asked his third sister to take it back to honor his parents, except for keeping some American ginseng.
That amount, even if you slice it up and stew it in soup or stew, or soak it in wine or water every day, will be enough to last for more than half a year.
But in less than a month, it was gone.
"Although both of these are good for nourishing the body, too much is as bad as too little. My dad, who used to be a Chinese medicine practitioner, should understand this, right?"
Seeing that Lao Wu was a little anxious, Yu Zhiming advised, "Lao Wu, don't worry. Our parents only used a small portion of the ginseng and American ginseng for themselves."
"Most of it was given away by my dad to show off, some to this relative, some to that friend, and it was all gone."
This made Yu Zhiming feel relieved.
Yu Xiangwan continued with an indignant look on her face, "My eldest sister said that a relative came to ask for some today, and Dad had no choice but to ask you to buy some more."
"I gave our dad a lecture."
"They are all good things, and they are not cheap. They are not enough for my family to keep for their health, so how can I just give them away!"
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "If it's gone, you can just buy more. As long as you don't use it recklessly, it's fine."
He realized something more, "Hey, sister, why didn't our dad call me, but went out of his way to call you?"
Yu Xiangwan chuckled and said, "Dad definitely knew he was going to get scolded. Being scolded by his daughter and being scolded by his son are definitely different feelings."
"I'm a sweet little cotton-padded jacket."
Yu Zhiming gave the cocky guy a sidelong glance.
After taking a sip of the soup, Gu Qingning interrupted, "I'm going back to my parents' house tomorrow. I know where they keep things like ginseng and American ginseng."
"I'll steal some and I won't be caught."
Yu Zhiming reached out and touched the tip of Qing Ning's nose, chuckling softly, "You don't have to go home and steal it."
"I'll go to the hospital's Traditional Chinese Medicine Department's pharmacy tomorrow and buy some. They should have some good stock."
He then asked, "Tomorrow is Friday. What are we having for our regular party tomorrow night?"
"I specifically cleared my time for tomorrow night."
Gu Qingning chuckled and said, "This whole donkey feast, made with dragon meat from the sky and donkey meat from the ground, was recommended by my brother. He said it's delicious..."
As the three of them ate and chatted, they talked about the condition of their fellow villager and patient Li Yantian.
"His lung inflammation has almost subsided, and his health has recovered significantly."
Yu Zhiming introduced it and continued, "Tomorrow, Dr. Wang from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department will give him another acupuncture treatment."
"Nothing unexpected happened. I'll be able to go home tomorrow."
Yu Zhiming added: "However, given his physical condition, he needs to rest at home for at least six months."
"During this period, he cannot take any medication unless absolutely necessary. His liver and kidneys have only slightly recovered now, so we can't be careless."
"This accumulated drug poison is not so easy to eliminate."
Gu Qingning chuckled and said, "Zhiming, you said last time that Third Grandpa was taking all kinds of tonics, but it was a bit excessive."
"This scared some of the elderly in the family, and they contacted me one after another, asking me to arrange medical examinations for them as soon as possible."
"They have money and free time, and all they think about all day is how to nourish their bodies and live healthier and longer."
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "There are more and more elderly people in our country, and they are paying more and more attention to health care. This elderly care and health care industry will definitely become more and more prosperous."
Yu Xiangwan snorted, "The problem is, many health supplements and wellness products these days are specifically designed to defraud the elderly."
"My eldest sister said that my parents brought home eggs several times, as well as laundry detergent, washbasins and other things."
"I got them all from health product promotion meetings."
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but say happily, "Mom and Dad didn't spend money to buy those messy things of theirs, right?"
Yu Xiangwan smiled and said, "That's not the case. After all, my dad used to be a Chinese medicine practitioner, so he wouldn't be fooled. I just went there to kill time and get some things."
"However, my elder sister also said that there are quite a few elderly people who have been deceived into spending hundreds or thousands of dollars to buy things."
Yu Zhiming sighed softly, "Things like this can only be regulated by the relevant state departments."
“Even if it’s a tonic, it’s still poisonous.”
"As for health supplements, they're just exaggerated claims about certain active ingredients, and they're not suitable for everyone."
"I think it's best for the elderly to take targeted dietary supplements. At least, it won't harm their health."
Gu Qingning suddenly thought of something and said, "Zhiming, you said last time that Dr. Wang from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine is quite impressive and that his family even opened a herbal restaurant?"
Yu Zhiming hummed and said, "Li Yantian has been eating the food sent by his restaurant these days. It is said to be a medicinal food that can speed up the detoxification of the body."
"I can actually notice that the condition of his liver, kidneys and other organs has improved a bit faster."
"But I don't know whether it was the medicinal food that had the effect."
Gu Qingning pondered and said, "I can check out his herbal restaurant. The elderly in the family are afraid to take tonics anymore, so we have to find something to replace them."
"Otherwise, they will feel uneasy and before long, they will either arrange for tonics and nutritional supplements again, or turn to other health products that have emerged."
Yu Xiangwan said with sparkling eyes, "Old Fifth, I think we can cooperate with them to make medicinal food and make the semi-finished medicinal food that is popular now."
She said excitedly, "Old Five, you see, you're good at physical examinations. You can see the big picture from the smallest details. You know exactly what the patient's body is lacking and where they need to be supplemented."
"Compared to ordinary dietary supplements, medicinal food has an added layer of efficacy and can gently promote the body's recovery."
Gu Qingning also said with great interest: "Zhiming, I think this is feasible. We will target the high-end market and take the route of small but high-quality products."
"For someone like my third grandfather, spending thousands of yuan every day on medicinal food to nourish his body is not a big deal."
Yu Zhiming grinned and said, "You say it's easy, but it's not easy to do it."
"And the premise is that Dr. Wang's medicinal food really has the real effect as he said."
Gu Qingning laughed and said, "This is very simple."
"Why not ask a Chinese medicine expert to taste their medicinal food and get the recipe?"
Seeing that the two guys were quite interested, Yu Zhiming said, "Putting aside other things, do you have the time and energy to cooperate with others and run this medicinal food business?"
Yu Xiangwan thought about it and immediately became dispirited.
The small canteen and the short-term rental apartment have already kept her so busy that she has no energy to do anything else.
Gu Qingning straightened her body.
"Zhiming, I can do it."
"I've been idle for so long, I should find something to do."
"This medicinal food is closely related to medical health care and wellness. My involvement in this business can be considered as a continuation of the family business, hehe."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Then go ahead and do it. Even if you really lose money, you won't be afraid of not having food to eat."
"Shall I discuss this matter with Dr. Wang tomorrow?"
Gu Qingning shook her head and said, "Not for now. I'll go check out the store first and then ask someone to check the efficacy of the medicinal food!"
"Also, I need to think about how to do it and how to do it first. I need to have a clear idea."
After a pause, Gu Qingning chuckled again and said, "Maybe after thinking about it for a few days, I'll get tired of the trouble and just give up."
"Zhiming, please don't laugh at me then, okay?"
Yu Zhiming said seriously, "I will support you no matter what you do, and I won't laugh at you if you stop doing it."
"Even if I lose it all, it's nothing. I can afford it."
Gu Qingning had a happy expression with a smile on her face...
After the three of them finished eating the turtle and pigeon soup, Yu Zhiming played two more erhu pieces. Just as he was about to get up and wash up, he received a call from Qi Yue.
"Zhiming, I've already had a serious talk with Qiao Lei."
"His handling of patients with skull base tumors was inadequate. I don't think he's fit to be your assistant anymore."
Yu Zhiming exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher, that's not the case, is it? I don't think there's anything wrong with him."
Although, Yu Zhiming felt embarrassed and uncomfortable about the patient with skull base tumor.
But he really didn't have much dissatisfaction with Qiao Lei.
"Teacher, isn't it too harsh to kick Qiao Lei out just because of this incident?"
Qi Yue said on the phone: "We're not firing him, we're just swapping his job with Zhou Mo."
"Zhou Mo will be your assistant, and Qiao Lei will follow me from now on."
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but let out a cry of "Ah!", and then he heard Qi Yue continue, "Zhiming, you often perform private physical examinations on female patients. It would be much more convenient for Zhou Mo to follow you than Qiao Lei."
That's true.
This is also the reason why Yu Zhiming takes Zhou Mo with him instead of Qiao Lei when doing some private work.
A female patient would definitely feel very uncomfortable being stared at by two grown men while undergoing a private examination.
Yu Zhiming was quite satisfied with Teacher Qi's decision, as it took all aspects into consideration.
What Yu Zhiming didn't know was that Qi Yue made this decision out of helplessness.
Yu Zhiming's personality was a bit soft, which made Qiao Lei lose his sense of propriety.
Qi Yue couldn't let Qiao Lei follow Yu Zhiming anymore, nor could he be irresponsible and fire him. He could only keep him by his side and train him.
Qi Yue continued on the call: "Tomorrow, my eldest son, daughter-in-law, and the skull base tumor patient will come to Binhai together."
"They will stay in Binhai until Sunday before going back."
"Let's have dinner together?"
Yu Zhiming politely declined, "Teacher, I won't disturb you and your son from cultivating your relationship."
"I don't really have much free time this weekend..."
Please support me with monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, etc.!!!
