Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2180 Young people can still publish monographs
Professional accountant Lao Wan, due to a muddled account, fell out with his boss of more than 20 years. In a fit of anger, Lao Wan simply renovated his old house and opened a restaurant called "Tea and Porridge Family" with his wife. Naturally, he kicked the company that he had sincerely served for decades to the curb.

Having spent half his life doing accounting for others, Lao Wan was tired of it. Now that he was old, he thought it better to be his own boss, manage his own family's accounts, and live a harmonious and peaceful life for three generations of his family.

Old Wan's ancestors ran restaurants, and many of his uncles and aunts were also famous professional chefs. Old Wan believed that he was born with "food ration coupons" in his genes. He explored and innovated at the same time, and surprisingly, he managed to run the restaurant successfully.

Today, "Tea and Porridge Restaurant" has become a landmark restaurant in Lijin City and a well-known internet celebrity restaurant in the surrounding area.

More than half a year ago, Lao Wan suddenly developed a very serious double vision. He went to various hospitals, but there was no sign of improvement. His basic functions, such as recognizing people and objects, also declined significantly. In less than three months, Lao Wan's eyes could only perceive light at most, and compared to a blind person, he only had a "sliver" of light.

Before retiring, Lao Wan's wife served as a physics teacher at the No. 1 High School in the city for a long time. Although she was not as famous as Teacher Yu, she was not an ordinary person either. At least she had accumulated a lot of good fortune by having students all over the world. When the students of all ages heard that their teacher had suddenly developed a very serious eye disease, they called Lao Wan's wife one after another, spreading the word and offering advice and suggestions.

Upon arrival, people were surprised to discover that a renowned and miraculous traditional Chinese medicine doctor, who was part of the new era of TCM, had been living in Lijin City for some time.
And so, several of his most promising students, who had seen much of the world, used their connections to ask Wen Boyong for help. Wen Boyong then accompanied them to Bian Mu, where they sought out the most renowned doctor in the area.

After Bian Mu carefully diagnosed the problem for a long time, he finally determined that the root of the problem was still with the original boss. Bian Mu called this kind of eye disease "air blindness". He felt uncomfortable after holding his breath for a long time.

Old Wan loved reading since he was a child. After half a lifetime of accumulation, he had a lot of knowledge and naturally understood the principles of self-regulation. At the same time, he also had a lot of knowledge about psychology and knew that once a person is over sixty years old, they must make certain psychological preparations, otherwise they will not live a happy life in their old age.

Well! By doing this, he seemed to have "smoothed down" his anger towards his long-time boss, but in reality, it was slowly accumulating along several meridians and stagnating at a certain acupoint in the Heart Meridian. Over time, it gradually "accumulated" and became an illness.

Old Wan, on the other hand, is knowledgeable and not the kind of person who is narrow-minded. The "accumulated" illness should ultimately harm the heart and brain systems. For example, diseases such as chronic myocardial ischemia, chronic myocarditis, chronic neurogenic headache, lacunar infarction, and small brain tumors are more likely to occur.

Interestingly, Lao Wan has a very regular daily routine. He doesn't smoke or drink, and he insists on practicing Tai Chi every morning and evening. It's the real, authentic Tai Chi, not the kind of "formal Tai Chi" health exercises that people do in the streets and parks.

In this way, the accumulated pathogenic qi gradually dissipated, flowing to wherever it was weak. Moreover, a considerable portion of the pathogenic qi was indeed expelled from Lao Wan's body. From this perspective, Lao Wan was actually quite remarkable.

however……

As one gets older, one's resistance to various things does indeed decline significantly year by year. In addition, running a restaurant is known for its demanding nature, requiring early mornings and late nights, which consumes a tremendous amount of energy. Under normal circumstances, even a 17-day cycle is not enough to replenish it.

As a result, the "gloomy" illness energy became somewhat unrestrained and ran rampant, which caused Lao Wan a lot of trouble.

No matter how skilled a doctor is, whether it is a Western or a Chinese medicine practitioner, they can only be forced to fight the pathogenic factors in various places like guerrilla warfare. They can never find the "main force" of the pathogenic factors, and it is basically impossible to concentrate the superior forces of medicine to annihilate it in one fell swoop.

In addition, Lao Wan has a habit of always having a book in his hand, no matter where he goes. He never misses an electronic book or magazine. Over time, the meridians around his eyes became exhausted, and his metabolism gradually slowed down. That area became the weakest point in Lao Wan's body. Following the natural law of building a "pathogenic highway" to the weakest point, a considerable portion of the pathogenic energy directly "settled" and "stirred up trouble" on the meridians around his eyes. After finding out all the details of the root cause, the cause, and the course of the disease, the specific treatment became much simpler. Bian Mu didn't have to do much, and Lao Wan regained his sight.

From then on, Lao Wan, who was always loyal and righteous, treated Bian Mu like family.

As Bian Mu accompanied the forest ranger, Old Liang, as they stepped over the high threshold, Old Wan's son-in-law hurried over to greet them, his expression showing great respect.

Old Wan went out to buy ingredients and wasn't in the shop at the moment. Upon hearing the news, Old Wan's wife specially came out of the kitchen to chat with Bian Mu and Old Liang for a while, and then took the menu that Bian Mu had ordered to the kitchen to instruct the chef to prepare it well.

"Has Old Wan's eye problem recurred?" Old Liang asked with a smile.

"So far, things are going well. He's well-educated, listens to serious advice, and is generally quite self-disciplined. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to maintain this for another ten years or so," Bian Mu replied confidently.

"That's pretty good! Actually... your approach to treating Lao Wan is quite novel. You should consider publishing a book. Even if you're not after fame, you should at least start working on the draft. Who says you can only publish a monograph when you're old?! No way. This would also be a good advertisement for the 'Digital Medicine' school, letting more people understand this brand-new theory of traditional Chinese medicine. It would be a real boost for the entire new TCM medicine." Somewhat unexpectedly, Old Liang's words had a rather insightful and far-sighted quality.

"Is this... appropriate?" Bian Mu replied with a smile.

"Young people in this new era need to have the drive of youth! Being sluggish all the time is not good. It's not like we're going to start preparing for a book right now, but it's good to work on the drafts first! If you come across a suitable publishing company, you'll be more in a good position!"

"Okay! I'll build a framework when I have some free time!"

"Hey! The older generation staying in their old age and unable to move before publishing books is outdated. New writers, new styles, let's get moving first."

"Okay!" Bian Mu replied with a smile.

"Don't let Dr. Gong's low-key demeanor fool you, she's quite popular with certain men. To be honest... she's not exactly young anymore. If she really meets the right person, we should definitely consider introducing her to someone. Once she's officially settled down, those men will give up and stop causing you trouble."

Hearing this, Bian Mu was rather unconvinced, feeling that Old Liang was meddling too much.

Bian Mu has always favored Dr. Gong and Dian Shuhua, and rarely thinks about their shortcomings. Of course, there may indeed be a certain degree of "selective blindness" involved.

"Isn't she the career-oriented type? Establish your career before starting a family? If she can't find someone she truly respects, she might as well build up her own small business first?" Bian Mu smiled and offered a few words of defense for Dr. Gong.
