Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1657. Ai Zhu Dispute
Qiao Qiao's fans were overjoyed by this perk.

But after happily receiving thanks in the group chat, Zhang Yanping rushed to the village clinic to help Dr. Guo.

There's no way around it, I'm just too busy.

Ever since those moxa sticks and cones were made, people from the village have been coming to get moxibustion every day.

In addition to moxibustion, they also use cupping.

Not only did they want cupping, but they also wanted Dr. Guo to sell some more Sanfu patches.

After completing this entire process, before leaving, we filled a large cup with mugwort tea, a gift from Dr. Guo and donated by the Song family.

This approach to health preservation is truly comprehensive, encompassing both the inside and outside!

And what about those customers who tried the moxibustion treatment last year? Didn't we agree to have more this summer? When can we arrange that? Can they make an appointment in advance?

I made the appointment, so I traveled all this way to get here.

Dr. Guo is extremely busy and overwhelmed with work.

Some people from other villages also heard the news and traveled a long distance to come and enjoy the benefits of this top-quality moxibustion stick, but were refused by Dr. Guo with difficulty.

"If you want moxibustion, I have high-quality ones available. Just pay the normal consultation fee."

"But not the Song family's. I don't have much here either; it's all for the benefit of the villagers."

“Auntie, you’re from the next village. It’s not appropriate for me to accept such nice gifts as a favor.”

The middle-aged woman, with her fashionable perm, said unhappily, "Oh dear, this old ailment of mine won't respond to ordinary moxibustion. I only came because I heard you had some good stuff. What village are you from, we're all close by, aren't we?"

"Besides, if you cure me with moxibustion, I'll promote it for you on Douyin later."

She opened Douyin (TikTok) and posted videos of the old lady dancing every day, which eventually garnered her more than 1000 followers.

Now he proudly says, "I'll promote it for you here. Aren't there tourists here? Let them all come and experience it."

That's not necessary.

Dr. Guo politely declined: "How many moxa sticks did the Song family give us in total? If all the tourists tried it, wouldn't she be too tired to even breathe all day?"
"It really doesn't work."

"This is equivalent to a friendly donation from the Song family to our clinic, all for the benefit of our fellow villagers."

"If people from your neighboring village come today, and they come tomorrow, and then people from the county and town come the day after, how can we possibly have enough food?"

Isn't this just like misappropriating charity funds?

Moreover, she made a promise to some clients last year, and she needs to reserve enough of this product for this year; she can't break her promise.

The auntie was about to say something more, but since the people in the neighboring village were related to him, it was difficult to refuse them now, so she also looked embarrassed.

Hearing this from outside, Zhang Yanping, knowing that everyone receiving acupuncture and moxibustion might not be wearing clothes, simply didn't go inside. Instead, he shouted from the yard:

"If any relative wants to take advantage of this benefit, just put their name on the register and then let them have the spot!"

"They come from this village today, and that village tomorrow. What's wrong with them? Do they expect us to take care of the whole county just because they're donating good stuff?"

"Advertise? Who needs to advertise? Our stuff is in high demand and short supply!"

Guo Dong came out of the room and looked at Zhang Yanping outside in the courtyard, and couldn't help but smile:
"It's alright, I'm not in the lobby to do moxibustion and cupping for them, please come in."

In the summer, people come and go. Some people know the rules, but some don't, so all the beds in the clinic were moved to the inner rooms.

As soon as the person entered, a large, imposing underworld boss with fierce eyebrows walked in. Before he even spoke, an aura that suggested he could easily pick up a knife and start a fight swept over him.

The aunt from the neighboring village immediately stood up, but after a moment she felt it was inappropriate, so she stubbornly insisted, "Forget it, who cares about your ordinary moxibustion? My son bought me a moxibustion box, I have plenty at home."

He turned and hurried away.

Before her relative could even breathe a sigh of relief, Zhang Yanping glared at her again:

"Auntie, weren't you going to transfer your moxibustion spot to your relative? Why did she leave?"

He was so fierce that even though everyone knew Zhang Yanping was a good young man, they couldn't help but shudder when they saw his face.

He quickly replied, "No, no, I didn't turn around! She's been sitting in my house and won't leave, I had no choice..."

If people are willing to transfer physical examination slots, then it's normal to transfer moxibustion, which isn't a valuable item, to relatives.

But the moxa sticks from Old Song's house are different!

Although Dr. Guo repeatedly emphasized that it was this year's new Ai, which is strong and can easily cause internal heat.

When performing moxibustion, she has to pay close attention to the time, acupoints, and techniques, as it is not as gentle as other people's three-year-aged moxa.

But can't you tell if it's effective or not?

We're all working in the village, who doesn't have headaches, fevers, or backaches sometimes?

This moxibustion is truly miraculous!
Putting everything else aside, many older people have trouble sleeping, and just being able to get them to sleep soundly and peacefully is already a pleasant surprise, making them feel light and energetic as they walk.

The woman emphasized again and again, "I didn't give up this spot!"

Zhang Yanping glared at her again: "You're shy and embarrassed, but Dr. Guo isn't! If you keep pestering me like this, how will you treat the villagers in the future?"

"Otherwise, we can return the items to Song Tan, use the old moxa sticks again, pay the consultation fee, and treat anyone who comes to our door. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

He was a grown man, and he spoke in a sharp and rude manner. Several people in the room heard him.

But since they were in the wrong, they didn't dare to say anything more and could only sit back down silently.

Guo Dong glanced at the angry Zhang Yanping and thought to himself, "Sure enough, when there's a conflict, looking at this face makes me feel especially safe."

Someone has to play both the good cop and the bad cop, right?
She sighed and said, "There's really no way around it. You all know how much moxa is needed to make one moxa stick. Summer is still long, and we can't just use it all up this time and then not use it again, can we? I have to save enough for the people in our village first."

"Anyone who wants to bring relatives next time will really have to transfer their spot."

Simply canceling it won't work; we're all related by marriage, and there's a personal connection beyond the rules.

On the contrary, most people would not be happy to use their own interests to create benefits for others.

Even if there are disputes, they will be willingly accepted, which will reduce many conflicts.

Dr. Guo estimated the time and performed cupping, acupuncture, and moxibustion on those who needed it. Since there weren't enough people, he held the long moxa sticks by hand.

The air was thick with smoke, and the smell was truly pungent.

Zhang Yanping glanced at it and then instructed, "If anyone comes to bother you again, call me."

He then inquired, "Has Xin Jun come yet? I'll go back and cover for him, and have him come over for some moxibustion too."

Dr. Guo glanced at him and said, "I'm busy today. Tell him to come in a couple of days. Come early so I can give him cupping and moxibustion."

"We can also invite a few more regular customers along the way."

Here they come! Oh dear, the boss should be here soon!
