Small Farmer Medical God
Chapter 1957 - 1952: Let Me Guide You
Five minutes later, Hu Xiaobei came back to the third-floor conference room with Feng Junjun, whose face was full of smiles...
Because he had already told Feng Junjun a bit about Mengmeng in the elevator, when Junjun saw that long-haired girl, she wasn’t particularly surprised and instead beamed as she took the initiative to say hello.
Mengmeng was a little dazed in the face of Junjun’s enthusiasm...
It took quite a while before she finally reached out her hand.
Seeing this scene, Hu Xiaobei felt that it might be hard for Junjun to become someone who could talk about everything with her.
But very soon, Hu Xiaobei’s face got metaphorically slapped...
Because before long, the two of them were happily chatting away.
Clearly, they had already become good friends who could talk about anything.
"Women, seriously, sometimes you just can’t see through them!"
Watching them chatting away so excitedly, Hu Xiaobei couldn’t help but let out a wry smile.
...
All these years, Hu Xiaobei had always wanted to see through women, but he’d found it really was hard!
He knew he probably wouldn’t have much chance in this lifetime...
Ten minutes later, Hu Xiaobei, the Dean, Mengmeng, Feng Junjun and Li Nan arrived at the bustling food street.
Because it was noon, there were even more people here...
"This kind of everyday street vibe is really great!"
With a heartfelt sigh, Hu Xiaobei looked toward the snack stall where he had eaten buns with Junjun earlier.
He found they had already closed up...
That left him a bit regretful.
But thinking about it, it was normal. After all, it was already noon...
They only served breakfast, so of course there was no need to keep hanging around here...
"Master Xiaobei, there’s a pretty good stir-fry joint up ahead. How about we have lunch there?"
The Dean edged over cautiously and spoke quickly.
He had walked around here earlier and found that the fanciest place around was that stir-fry place.
Of course, "fancy" was only relative to the other small shops here. Compared to an actually high-end restaurant, it was nowhere near the same level...
"Sure!"
Hu Xiaobei gave him a glance and agreed right away.
Soon, Hu Xiaobei and the others arrived at the entrance of the stir-fry shop.
Because it was right at mealtime, the place was extremely lively.
Looking at all kinds of fresh vegetables laid out not far in front, Hu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes.
In the past, he’d only seen this kind of open-air kitchen in the village or at the market.
Now, he was seeing it again here.
That really felt pretty fresh and novel to him.
"What do you two like to eat?"
Smiling lightly, Hu Xiaobei looked at Feng Junjun and Mengmeng.
Mengmeng’s mind was elsewhere, so she just said casually, "I’m fine with anything!"
He wasn’t surprised by Mengmeng’s answer. With a small smile, Hu Xiaobei shifted his gaze to Feng Junjun.
Junjun gave a little smile and said, "I like veggie dishes. I had too many meat buns this morning, feeling a bit greasy."
"Got it, I’ll order a couple more vegetable dishes then."
With that light smile, Hu Xiaobei started ordering.
Five minutes later, Hu Xiaobei and the others sat down under a nearby parasol tree.
The parasol tree’s branches and leaves were very lush; sitting here, not only could they enjoy the shade, they could also watch the flow of people around them. It was really quite nice.
"Master Xiaobei, isn’t it a bit noisy here? How about we go inside instead?"
Seeing Hu Xiaobei sit down, the Dean hesitated for a second, then spoke up.
He had been inside this stir-fry shop before. There weren’t any particularly good private rooms, but there were a few half-decent booths.
He was hoping Hu Xiaobei would sit there, where it would be a bit quieter.
"No need, sitting here is fine. We can watch the buzz too!"
"Alright then."
Knowing Hu Xiaobei had made up his mind, he didn’t say anything more and quickly sat down to the side.
Hu Xiaobei glanced at Li Nan, who was pouring water for him, and said softly, "Now let me see what your true skills are like."
Hearing this, Li Nan suddenly got excited.
"Master Xiaobei, you’re going to guide me?"
Seeing how fired up Li Nan was, Hu Xiaobei gave a slight nod. "Yeah. If you’ve got the insight, you can learn something today. But if you don’t, then I won’t waste my time. You get what I mean?"
"I get it, I get it."
Li Nan nodded solemnly...
He’d been in the Chinese Medicine circle for so many years and knew that talent really mattered.
If you didn’t have enough talent, you truly couldn’t learn the real stuff.
"Since you understand, then take a look at all the people coming and going here. Whoever you think has the most serious problem, go invite them over."
"Okay!"
He gave a slight nod and began observing seriously...
Junjun, Mengmeng and the Dean had never seen anything like this before, so at the moment all of them were watching with great interest.
...
Soon, Hu Xiaobei saw Li Nan stand up.
Hu Xiaobei knew he must have spotted something.
With a small smile, Hu Xiaobei took a sip of tea.
At this moment, Li Nan stopped a woman of about thirty.
She was wearing a dark purple cotton dress, making her fairly eye-catching among the crowd.
"Hello."
After stopping her, Li Nan spoke softly.
Hearing someone greet her, the woman looked him over carefully for a moment...
Soon, she frowned, her face full of doubt. "Hello, do we know each other?"
She was genuinely puzzled at this moment...
Because she really had no impression of this person at all.
"Here’s the thing. Lately, have you often been feeling irritable and on edge, and especially when you run into something upsetting, you just can’t hold your temper?"
"Yes! How do you know?"
She stared at this older man in astonishment.
She herself didn’t know what had been going on lately; she just got angry really easily.
Like right now—being stopped like this, she was already feeling a bit annoyed again.
"I’m a Chinese Medicine doctor. I can help you fix your problem. Could you come over there with me for a moment?"
"You’re not some kind of scammer, are you? You’re not trying to sell me off to some remote mountain village, are you?"
Hearing that line of reasoning, Li Nan was speechless.
After a moment, he said helplessly, "You really do have a rich imagination. Sometimes thinking too much isn’t a good thing either."
"Sorry, I’ve really been overthinking everything lately."
Li Nan gave her a look and waved his hand lightly. "It’s fine. If I were you, I’d ask a few more questions in this situation too. But really, there’s no need to worry."
"Oh right, are you going to charge me?"
"No, it’s completely free. Don’t worry."
"Okay, okay."
Li Nan gave a slight smile and led her back this way.
Right now, Li Nan was honestly a bit speechless...
In the Chinese Medicine world, he was one of the absolute top figures. Usually, many patients spent a lot of money just to get to see him.
And now, someone was worried about having to spend money.
"When you think about that contrast, it’s really pretty funny!"
Murmuring to himself, Li Nan guided the woman to stand in front of Hu Xiaobei.
