Merchant and doctor

Chapter 1157: Master's Dilemma
Bian Mu knew that he was a bit pedantic. Many people couldn't stand this about him, except Su Linwen. Even Lao Pei, the herbal farmer who treated him like a family member, had joked about this a few times.

Bian Mu knew that Mr. Wei was a chivalrous and magnanimous man, so how could he possibly hold the same opinion with him? So he smiled, hailed a taxi on the side of the road and went back to the clinic.

When they were approaching the clinic, Bian Mu heard Li Yunhu and Man Hongyun talking and laughing from afar. When he looked closely, he found that they were preparing sour plum soup!

Fan Sanqiao was also there, and next to him stood a man and a woman. The man was a young security guard from the community property management, and the woman looked to be in her early forties, with a red vest draped over her shoulders. Bian Mu guessed that the woman should be a volunteer assigned by the community.

"You're here. Brother Yunhu said you didn't send him the formula. Zhang Jinsi isn't here either. I was just about to call you to ask!" As he spoke, Fan Sanqiao waved to Bian Mu.

"I'm sorry! I had to go out for something and kept you waiting for a long time. It's so hot under the sun. Please come in! I'll prepare the medicine for you right away." As he said this, Bian Mu politely walked forward and exchanged a few pleasantries with the male security guard and female volunteer.

The tea substitutes, health drinks, and medicine substitute cakes of "Bian's Clinic" have long been famous. Seeing that Bian Mu was so polite, the male security guards and female volunteers were naturally happy to take advantage of his courtesy and drink some cooling drinks.

Fan Sanqiao valued his self-cultivation. Secondly, the weather was too hot, so he felt a little dizzy at the moment. He didn't know whether it was due to the heat or because he had not had a good rest recently. Naturally, he accompanied the male security guard and the female volunteer to drink and chat.

Man Hongyun volunteered to help Bian Mu, and Li Yunhu was ordered by her to do this and that, and he was very busy.

Bian Mu put on his white coat and went to the pharmacy to get the medicine, while Man Hongyun put on gloves and packed the medicine.

"Doctor Bian! Shouldn't this formula be easily known to outsiders?" Man Hongyun was quite thoughtful and asked casually out of curiosity.

"Well, according to common sense, we should post the recipe in a conspicuous place at the entrance of the store. When passers-by see it, they will trust us and want to go home and make it themselves. They can just take a picture with their mobile phone. Anyway, all the sour plum soups for cooling off and detoxifying are similar in the world. However... our recipe is slightly adjusted every day or every few days, and it does work for people, so I didn't send a recipe to Brother Hu." While picking up the medicine, Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"It's so troublesome! I told you! You get along like brothers, how can you keep it secret from him! Besides, Engineer Fan's status is much higher than our Yunhu, and he doesn't seem to know what specific medicine to mix. It turns out... this sour plum soup is so particular!" Man Hongyun thought he was very familiar with Bian Mu, and his words became more mercenary.

Bian Mu knew that she came from a humble background, so it was not surprising for her to say such things, and naturally he would not argue with her.

"When Chinese medicine prescribes medicine, it not only considers the individual, but also the time. Sometimes, the medicine is prescribed in different places. The prescription is tailored to the individual and the place. The specificity will naturally be doubled. This saves passers-by from passing by our house again and again, drinking the medicine for several days, but the symptoms don't improve much. That would be a waste!" While dispensing the medicine, Bian Mu responded with a smile.

After hearing this, Man Hongyun was happy.

No matter what, Li Yunhu's status is nothing compared to Bian Mu and Fan Sanqiao. Man Hongyun still has some doubts about this.

"Doctor Bian! For your sake, Miss Cao seems to be willing to help us. Yunhu said that this must be done with your consent in advance. I am anxious to make a fortune, so please don't be offended!"

"Look at what you said, we are one family, don't be so discerning! You mentioned the last incident... I think... Cao Yueyue is in a very different class from us, so we'd better be cautious. You may not know her very well, but she is a ruthless character who will not suffer any loss. Anyway, everyone is very busy recently, why don't we discuss it properly when we are free in a while?" Bian Mu's words were already very polite.

Everyone knows very well that for many things, if there is no intermediary like Bian Mu, everything will be over!
When it comes to listening to words and dealing with people in the secular world, Man Hongyun is definitely an expert. When Bian Mu said this, she already understood most of it.

Seeing that her wishful thinking was likely to fail, Man Hongyun was a little unhappy, and her speed of sorting the packages and categories soon slowed down. Bian Mu saw it, and although he felt amused, he naturally did not argue with her. At this time, Bian Mu further determined that Man Hongyun and Li Yunhu might not be as compatible as people thought.

However, Bian Mu knew in his heart that he must not say a word about this matter in front of Li Yunhu. As the saying goes, distant relatives cannot separate close ones. There are some things that even the best brothers cannot interfere in.

With everyone's help, the osmanthus and sour plum soup was ready. Fan Sanqiao tasted half a cup and felt that it was different from what he had tasted before.

"Is this your modified recipe?" Fan Sanqiao asked with a smile.

"I referred to many prescriptions, including some secret recipes from the palace! Haha... I specially prepared this hour-long prescription according to local conditions. You can't drink too much of this stuff. With the paper cups we prepared, three cups at most! Brother Hu! Write it on some paper, three cups is not enough! It's not that we're stingy, but drinking more is not good!" As he spoke, Bian Mu instructed Li Yunhu to make a paper sign to remind passers-by.

"Okay! I'll do it right away!" After saying that, Li Yunhu put the disposable paper cup in his hand in a place he could remember, and went back to the clinic to make a reminder sign.

By chance, Bian Mu discovered that Man Hongyun had already slipped away at some point.

……

Before going to work, Fan Sanqiao chatted with Bian Mu for a few words.

"After the procedure was improved, has the ratio of differences in patients' economic income become more reasonable?" Fan Sanqiao asked.

"It's basically the same. I don't think it has much to do with the procedure. The key is that I can't reduce my medical fees. Look at the watermelons on the roadside these days. They are obviously selling much slower at 4.8 yuan. And half a truckload of big watermelons at 2.9 yuan are gone before you know it. After all, the ordinary income group is still the majority. I thought this matter was too simple..." Bian Mu responded with a smile.

"Then... once the Chinese Medical Clinic opens and the house is sold off, won't the income difference become more obvious?" Fan Sanqiao questioned.

"That's right! I've been busy lately and haven't had time to think about this. It will be very troublesome in the future. You know, the case samples that can be provided by patients with limited income are different from those with affluent income. This is especially true for me. Alas! I now understand more and more what kind of dilemma Master Bian Que and Li Shizhen faced back then. One insisted on staying away from the palace, and the other insisted on staying away from the Imperial Hospital. OK! Let's talk about it another day! I have to go to the outpatient clinic."

"I have to go too! Let's go out for dinner tonight? You haven't even met the person I'm looking for yet!"

"Tonight? No! I have to visit Professor Mi. It's urgent!"

"Let's do it some other time! Business is more important. Let's go!"

"Watch out on the road!"

"No problem!" After that, Fan Sanqiao went out to work.

Bian Mu saw him off and found that Fan Sanqiao was driving a new car, which seemed to be quite expensive. He probably didn't borrow it from anyone. Mr. Fan had never mentioned this to him.
