I Can Talk to the Internal Organs-Chapter 85 - 76: Special Approval from the Director
After adjusting Wu Zengshuang for more than half an hour, his arm was almost healed. The remaining pain would only gradually recover, but it didn’t affect his normal actions.
Since it was Lu Jiu’s first time using gua sha, and Lu Mountain never set a price for this therapy, Lu Jiu followed the acupuncture price and charged Wu Zengshuang thirty yuan.
Calculating the earnings, Lu Jiu made nearly two thousand in less than two weeks.
Not bad at all.
Starting off with an income of over a thousand already made Lu Jiu very satisfied.
Before taking over the clinic, he had prepared for the possibility of not making money in the first two months.
This was beyond his expectations.
Bzzz Bzzz Bzzz~~
"Dad, what’s up?" Seeing the phone vibrating, Lu Jiu leaned in and saw it was a call from Lu Song, so he immediately answered.
"Join me for dinner tonight," Lu Song said.
"Who else is there?" Lu Jiu instinctively frowned.
"Dean Qi from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and a few uncles. You should meet them," Lu Song understood that Lu Jiu disliked such occasions and softly added, "Just consider it giving your dad some face, okay? Even if you don’t go in the future, you can’t let your dad offend these people, right?"
"Then why invite them from the beginning?" Lu Jiu sighed.
"Just this once, okay? After this, I won’t let you attend such occasions anymore," Lu Song said.
"That’s what you said," Lu Jiu replied.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Lu Song laughed.
When?
Who was it that tricked my pocket money to buy cigarettes when I was a kid?
Lu Jiu was too lazy to expose him and could only silently hang up the phone, his face full of helplessness.
He didn’t blame Lu Song; after all, as parents, finding future paths for their children isn’t wrong. It’s just that he really doesn’t like it.
Maybe, only when they see he’s successful will they feel at ease to let go.
Logging into Chinese Medicine Home, Lu Jiu started browsing the posts on Medical World.
He didn’t look for help posts anymore but focused on what was recently happening in the Chinese medicine world.
On the homepage posts, someone passed a specialty exam and was celebrating, someone was sharing their progress in learning Chinese medicine, and others were complaining about the quirky patients they encountered.
But what drew Lu Jiu’s attention the most was the post about integrating Chinese medicine into primary schools.
"Everyone, the primary schools in Nanhe are about to introduce Chinese medicine textbooks. Do you think they’ll hire Chinese medicine teachers to teach in the schools?"
"I don’t think it’s likely. Just a show, probably."
"Hiring Chinese medicine teachers? Don’t be ridiculous. Good Chinese medicine practitioners earn a lot in hospitals. Who would go teach for three thousand a month?"
"It’s certainly unrealistic to hire Chinese medicine practitioners. Probably the biology teacher will handle it."
"Biology teacher? Do they know Chinese medicine well enough to teach?"
"Tch, probably just like high school PE, purely for show."
"Come on, without systematic learning, you can’t really learn Chinese medicine. What can elementary students understand?"
"Unless it’s included in the college entrance exam, it’s all nonsense."
"..."
Amidst the pessimistic comments in the post, Lu Jiu just silently flipped through the pages.
He didn’t think integrating Chinese medicine into primary schools could currently help Chinese medicine, but it at least showed that the country indeed wanted to emphasize Chinese medicine.
It just wasn’t enough.
At least Lu Jiu hadn’t seen any national propaganda institutions seriously reporting on what Chinese medicine had done in the past three years.
The most typical example was during his time at the Jinling Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Regardless if it was the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital or the Western Hospital, they were uniformly drinking Chinese medicine to prevent viral infections.
The average person wouldn’t know about this if it weren’t for friends in the medical system.
Why not mention it?
Afraid that Chinese medicine would be in short supply?
Yeah, Chinese medicine is quite expensive, after all. Better to snatch Western medicine.
Eh?
Huang Fusheng is going to Jianghan to assess the Pinellia ternata planting base?
As Lu Jiu suddenly spotted another post, the mention of Jianghan instantly captured his attention.
Jianghan is indeed a place for growing Pinellia ternata, and Pinellia of Jianghan is also quite renowned nationwide.
The Pinellia ternata that Lu Jiu previously purchased was locally bought, and the quality was indeed good.
Moreover, this medicinal ingredient is needed in over forty prescriptions, most of which treat some difficult conditions, thus its demand is particularly high.
"I’ve heard that recently Master Huang Fusheng is going to Jianghan to assess Pinellia ternata and might also purchase a large batch of medicinal materials. Is this news true, anyone to verify?"
"Why don’t you ask the moderator? Forget it, I’ll @ them for you, @A Dream of Millet."
"Where did you get this information?"
"Fake, isn’t it? Why would Elder Huang personally go to purchase medicinal materials?"
"Moderator, speak up."
"Hahaha, I’m right in Jianghan, maybe I can get Elder Huang’s autograph."
"Jianghan, huh? So far, can’t go."
"..."
"The news is true. My teacher will indeed visit Jianghan for an inspection soon, but it won’t just be about medicinal materials. I can’t disclose more details."
"Oh, the moderator is here!"
"Really!!"
"When will they visit?"
"Yeah, why no date? Moderator, quickly tell us."
"..."
Lu Jiu was surprised as he read the moderator’s words.
Is Master Huang Fusheng really coming?
And it seems like it’s not just about buying medicinal materials.
Could it be a lecture?
That can’t be right. If it were, there’d be no need for secrecy.
Can’t guess.
But as long as Master Huang Fusheng comes, Lu Jiu would very much like to meet him.
This master has spent three years leading a team all over, participating in the treatment of countless virus-infected patients. All the patients he treated transitioned from severe to mild cases, mild cases fully recovered, and none had any aftereffects. Yet, this information only seemed to appear on forums, with not much external coverage.
