Chapter 394 Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatments Vary Based on Individual, Location, and Disease!
"The girl who treated my wound just now said she has scar removal cream."
Once my wound scabs over and falls off, I can use that thing.
It will take a while, but I don't care. I had planned to spend the rest of my life in the deep mountains and forests, but...
Hehehe, I'm really happy!
Yuan Yarong was also happy for him. Seeing that Xia Zhao was not surprised, she pulled her aside and asked her about it.
"Comrade Xiao Qiao, your medical skills are so good, do you work at a hospital?"
"I'm sorry, Dr. Yuan, I'm not at liberty to disclose Comrade Qiao's information. If you want to know anything, you can ask her directly."
With just one sentence, Yuan Yarong realized that Qiao Manman's identity was not simple. She nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
Seeing that everything was alright, Xia Zhao asked where the cooking was and then went to find Qiao Manman.
After she left, the patient asked, "Does that young lady who applied the medicine for me have a boyfriend? I have a nephew who's very handsome..."
Yuan Yarong laughed heartily: "They've been married for a while now!"
I thought to myself, even if we don't get married, your nephew is no good.
I didn't understand at first, but now I realize that Xia Zhao is Qiao Manman's "orderly soldier"!
Wow, that's amazing! You really can't judge a book by its cover!
Meanwhile, Qiao Manman, led by Hua Sui, arrived at the cooking area.
The head chef, who came from a farm, took two steamed buns out of the steamer: "Can't hold on any longer, huh? Here are two more steamed buns to fill your stomach!"
Hua Sui thanked him, saying, "This is Comrade Qiao. He would like to borrow your stove!"
"What are you doing? I still need to cook for the heroes!"
"Hello comrade, I'm from the Northeast Military Region. I'd like to make some oil tea for the medical staff!"
Their workload is very heavy; they can't keep going without eating!
"Oh, I see. Okay, you can use it!"
The head chef gave up one of his stoves and said, "If you ask me, you don't need to do anything. I'll just cook it here and send some to them."
Dr. Yuan and her colleagues were just too proud; they insisted on giving the food to the soldiers.
A couple of days ago we were facing a severe food shortage, but these past two days, various military regions have been sending relief supplies, so things aren't so dire anymore."
Qiao Manman said with a smile, "I brought a lot of oil tea noodles. It's hot, and they'll spoil if we don't eat them!"
The head chef helped her pour water into the pot: "I think you're just kind-hearted."
If it were anyone else, they'd be lucky to even offer a helping hand; they wouldn't be willing to give food to others!
Qiao Manman didn't refute, thinking to herself that those who are successful should help others. She had money and food, so naturally she couldn't be too stingy.
The water boiled in no time.
With the help of the master chef, Qiao Manman brewed the oil tea powder, and the aroma instantly filled the air, making people's mouths water.
"You're a great cook, girl! You've managed to make the noodles smell so good!"
Qiao Manman smiled, thinking to herself that it contained mutated wheat flour, so how could it not smell good?
The key is that it tastes great and can also replenish energy. It's perfect for medical staff.
Upon seeing this, Hua Sui jogged back to call her colleagues over for dinner.
However, many people shook their heads: "Give it to the soldiers!"
"The head chef said that there is no shortage of food now, so we don't need to save any."
Look how much weight you've lost! This evening, you almost fainted due to low blood sugar.
Comrade Xiao Qiao is right; health is the foundation of everything. Only by taking good care of ourselves can we better help others.
Listen to me, go over and have a couple of sips. Even if you only eat until you're three-quarters full, it'll make a difference!
Ma Dandan nodded and pulled a few of her girlfriends, who were in similar situations, to go eat.
As the "cook," Qiao Manman naturally got to drink the first bowl of oil tea.
It smelled delicious, especially when paired with the slices of steamed buns taken out of the canvas bag.
Seeing Xia Zhao approaching from afar, he filled her bowl to the brim and asked as he ate, "Have any new wounded been brought in?"
"Not yet!"
Qiao Manman breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the head chef kneading the dough, she deliberately asked, "Uncle, do you know how this fire started?"
Mentioning this, the head chef's face immediately darkened: "Hmph, if I see those bastards, I'll tear them to pieces!"
He first stated his position before bitterly explaining the reason: "Some time ago, an official was sent down from the capital, saying he had an affair with his driver's daughter and was subsequently castrated by his wife..."
Speaking of this, the master chef felt a sense of relief: "At first, I felt sorry for him, but it turns out that his whole family are bad people."
"When my daughter came to visit, she went and committed murder and arson! Nine died and eighteen were injured!"
Qiao Manman clutched her chest in surprise: "There must be some mistake, right? How can a woman be so capable?"
"Sigh, who would have thought? But on the entire farm, only their family has disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead."
Qiao Manman asked again, "Where is he? Have they been caught?"
"No, I don't know where they escaped to. But we need letters of introduction to go anywhere, so I believe it won't be long before we can bring the Meng family to justice!"
Qiao Manman said thoughtfully, "Since the police have issued an arrest warrant, there must be checkpoints at various intersections."
I wondered if they might be hiding in the nearby mountains, waiting for the hype to die down before figuring out how to leave.
They say even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and the fact that he was able to become an official in the capital suggests he must have some connections.
"Master, do you think they might return to Kyoto?"
"Oh, really?" The head chef scratched his head. "Everyone over there knows them. It's so dangerous!"
"It's precisely because we know each other that we should go back."
There's a saying that goes, "The most dangerous place is the safest place."
News travels slowly these days; they might not even know what happened to the Meng family over there yet!
The head chef nodded: "You're right! No, I have to talk to Comrade Zhang about this!"
As she spoke, she wiped her hands, turned the dough upside down, and said, "Girl, can you watch this for me? Don't let any greedy person take it away!"
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement twice and continued eating.
Xia Zhao lowered his voice and asked, "Sister-in-law, is what Master Hu was talking about referring to Meng Peiyu's family?"
Qiao Manman neither admitted nor denied it: "I don't know, what do you think?"
Xia Zhao raised her hand to cover her mouth, nodded, then shook her head: "I dare not say!"
"Then don't tell me!"
Qiao Manman took out a paper package from her canvas bag, pulled out a piece of dried meat, and stuffed it into her mouth: "Have you eaten the pills I asked someone to bring you?"
Xia Zhao nodded: "I've eaten, I'm almost done!"
"When we get back, I'll prescribe some more for you. Take it for two months, and your problem should be mostly cured!"
"Sister-in-law, several of my comrades-in-arms are in that same pain..."
"Let them register for my grandfather's appointment and have his pulse checked."
Don't feel embarrassed. My grandpa is a grown man. He's seen it all.
The old man is very tight-lipped; he won't go around saying anything!
"Can't I just take the pills you prepared for me?"
Qiao Manman explained, "You don't understand. Traditional Chinese medicine treats diseases differently depending on the person, the place, and the disease."
Although the symptoms may be similar, the underlying principles of treatment can be quite different. It's essential to differentiate the syndromes and treat accordingly, prescribing the right medicine for the right condition.
