Practicing business and practicing medicine

"Happy Forest" Hotel in the middle section of Huaiyuan Avenue, Beicheng District, Lijin City.

This is a comprehensive hotel integrating catering, entertainment, and exhibitions. The first and second floors are restaurants. The third and fourth floors are equipped with bowling, indoor archery, simulated golf halls, yoga halls, and art body shaping halls... Five The whole building is an exhibition hall, the sixth floor is all conference rooms, and the seventh floor is a sightseeing platform with many high-end astronomical telescopes and sightseeing telescopes. There are usually quite a lot of tourists.

Except for the first floor, everything above the second floor is a membership system. If you don't have a membership card, the security guards and doormen at the door will politely refuse.

Qi Shangqi is the savior of the current boss of "Happy Forest" and enjoys the gold card membership treatment here. After being contacted by the young disciple named Xie, when Qi Shangqi and his party arrived at the hotel, the waiter of the "Happy Forest" hotel was already on the second floor. There are two places for everyone to sit in the small hall.

After observing coldly for a moment, Bian Mu found that Qi Shangqi's daily life was quite simple.

Qi Shangqi and Bian Mu were politely moved to the table near the south window by the young waitress. The round dining table was small in diameter and could only seat three guests at most. Qi Shangqi brought a total of 5 disciples this time, three men and two women. The one named Xie The young male doctor looked the youngest. At this moment, he was greeting several senior brothers and sisters to sit down at another large dining table not far away.

Obviously, this is a special habit that Qi Shangqi has developed over the years. Putting aside everything else, at the very least, it will be much more convenient for him to talk to Bian Mu.

"No wonder Qi Shangqi always arranged for the disciple named Xie to do things, he turns out to be so clever! I hope he will not grow into the kind of 'capable man' who only knows how to flatter everyone and his business is getting increasingly deserted in the future." Bian Mu thought to himself. road.

"Qibao Tea" is available on the second floor and above of "Happy Forest". The tea is rich in aroma, deep in color, and slightly astringent in the mouth. This is the first time Bian Mu has drank this kind of tea.

"Doctor Bian! How does this tea taste?"

"It's pretty good. It feels like a drink like health tea." Bian Mu responded with a smile.

"Doctor Bian, it tastes really good. Why don't you guess what ingredients are in it?" Qi Shangqi said politely, but in fact, he was testing Bian Mu.

His mentor Luo Ziyi once taught Qi Shangqi the skill of appreciating herbs. It is not just relying on some talent to casually identify the characteristics of certain Chinese herbal medicines. It is a basic skill of traditional Chinese medicine that requires hard work, steady practice, and clever logic.

With Qi Shangqi's current skill, if he was given a bowl of decoction, he would be able to accurately tell how many herbs were used and which Chinese medicines they were as long as he tasted a few mouthfuls.

Of course, Qi Shangqi also made mistakes when encountering special medicinal materials and decoction methods. However, such situations were extremely rare. After decades of practicing medicine, he had rarely encountered them.

This skill is also applicable to pills, powders, plasters and elixirs among Chinese patent medicines.

Luo Ziyi was even more evil. Not only could he taste hundreds of herbs, but he could also estimate the dosage of most herbs. In this regard, Qi Shangqi had always respected his teacher as a god.

Qi Shangqi really didn't know Bian Mu's background, so he took the opportunity to test it out. Based on his intuition, he always believed that there was definitely an expert behind Bian Mu.

"This...it's hard to tell. It seems that there are peanuts, roasted and crushed, tea rice, also roasted, wolfberry, Guiyuan, black sesame, hawthorn, and rock sugar. I can only taste so much. "Bian Mu responded casually.

Upon hearing this, Qi Shangqi couldn't help but be stunned.

"Have you ever had this tea before?"

"No! This is the first time this junior has come back to this place." Bian Mu was very smart. He didn't say anything, and he had roughly guessed Qi Shangqi's intention.

Although the famous doctor Luo Ziyi is extremely low-key, as a legendary representative of traditional Chinese medicine in Lijin, he is absolutely famous to Bian Mu.

When I was in college, at least more than half of the professional course teachers would mention Luo Ziyi from time to time. Qi Shangqi studied under Luo Ziyi, and naturally he had heard about it. It’s not shallow to be natural.

Bian Mu has never seriously practiced basic skills of traditional Chinese medicine such as "tasting a hundred herbs", but in his daily life, he has been doing similar exercises intentionally or unintentionally.

For example, every time his mother makes buns, dumplings, etc., Bian Mu will carefully guess what ingredients his mother put in the fillings. He has had this habit since he was a child, and the more he practices, the better he gets. Proficient.

"Haha...you can do it! To tell you the truth, this tea was prepared by me. The boss here gave it the name 'Qibao Tea'. Not only did you guess all of them correctly, but you can also distinguish them accurately. Some of the ingredients have been fried, which is scary for later generations!"

"Where, where! This junior is just guessing, and I just happened to be right!" Bian Mu quickly said a few polite words, and he was as clear as a mirror to the intention of Mr. Qi's secret test.

However, Bian Mu felt that there was no need for Mr. Qi to do this. As long as Chinese medicine skills were involved among colleagues, even if there were differences in seniority, why couldn't they be openly discussed in the sunshine? !

Qi Shangqi smiled meaningfully and stopped following the conversation to "taste a hundred herbs".

Knowing that Bian Mu had been hungry for a long time, Qi Shangqi specially ordered a few traditional nourishing dishes. One of the soup dishes was filled with ginseng, and another dish was added with Ganoderma lucidum.

Feeling that Mr. Qi was sincere in his hospitality and polite to his guests, Bian Mu only ordered a dish of homemade tofu and a dish of steamed nine-tailed river fish.

Xiao Xie, his senior brothers and senior sisters ordered all the dishes that young people love to eat. While listening to the tips of his ears, he looked at the prices of the menus he had just seen. Those dishes were not cheap!

Bian Mu felt that Mr. Qi was quite generous to his disciples on weekdays. At least, the old man was not a stingy person.

Doctors generally do not order drinks when they eat at the same table. This is a common rule in the traditional Chinese medicine community in Lijin. Although Bian Mu knows nothing about this, as a guest, he will not rashly ask for a drink.

Every dish is so refreshing and delicious, Muke is sweating while eating.

Seeing that Bian Mu was eating happily without any trace of pretense, Qi Shangqi gradually became more relaxed. In his opinion, Bian Mu was at least not the kind of scheming and sophisticated young man.

"Doctor Bian! At what stage has the professional title evaluation reached?"

"You can just call me Xiao Bian. I've only been working for a few years, and I haven't been able to get good things like job title evaluations yet!"

"There is a training class here in Lijin recently, and Nie Yixiong is giving it. Several of them are taking it. I still have a few places on hand. You can take one!" Qi Shangqi suddenly said these words.

"Oh! Teacher Nie's training class? I heard that with the completion certificate, you can go back to your unit and get an exceptional professional title?" Upon hearing this, Bian Mu couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

"Yes, as long as your time is convenient, I will ask Xiao Xie to run over and bring it to you later."

"Thank you, Mr. Qi, for your support. My qualifications are too low. I heard that there are more than thirty people in line in front of me! Besides, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm doing very poorly in our place. They almost didn't let me get laid off a while ago!" It was a waste that the place fell into my hands, and I am ashamed of your kindness to accept it. Unfortunately, the time is not right. If I have another chance next time, I will visit you again to ask for one."

"Then... do you want to consider transferring to our hospital? The current dean happens to be a student of mine, and I can still talk to him. As long as your hospital is willing to let him go, I will ask Xiao Xie to help you with the other procedures!"

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu was really moved.
