Practicing business and practicing medicine

My grandfather often said that when strangers sit at the same table to eat, they should try not to drink. When a man or a woman eats alone at the same table, they should not drink at all.

What's more, it's just a dinner, as long as it's simple, delicious, and nutritionally balanced. Bian Mu specifically told the landlady not to serve wine.

Bian Mu ordered three dishes: "Little Vegetarian Pork Stir-fried Three Shreds", "Soy Sauce Beef Cold Combination", and "Homestyle Tofu". The main dish was fried crispy steamed buns with vegetarian fillings, local specialty snacks, and it is the only one in this place thousands of miles away. .

In addition, Bian Mu also asked the proprietress to cook two portions of casserole mountain millet and red date porridge, which is a semi-finished product. Just add water and red dates and stew for a while.

The meat of "Wangtianbai" is fine, white and tender. Chef Lao Guo's cooking skills are quite good. The fire is overheated with oil to kill the fishy smell and evil spirits. It needs to be simmered for a while under low fire. It is considered the final dish.

The two chatted while eating. Although Mr. Chen's wife had seen a lot of people in the world, she also admired Master Guo's cooking skills. While talking and laughing, less than half of the meal was finished.

In fact, Mrs. Chen usually has a small appetite.

"That day in the hospital, Dr. Bian seemed to be hesitant to speak. Does Mr. Chen have any hidden illness? Is it difficult to tell in front of everyone?" The politeness was over. Mrs. Chen smiled and pointed out the purpose of today's visit. .

"Indeed! Madam! Who bought the shoes that Mr. Chen usually wears?" Bian Mu suddenly asked about the shoes Mr. Chen wears.

"I used to buy them together, but then I was busy too! His personal assistant bought them, and my mother-in-law also bought them for him when she traveled abroad. What happened?" Mrs. Chen was confused after hearing this.

"Although the kidney tumor issue has come to an end for the time being, Mr. Chen was born with a strange appearance and escaped the disaster, but... there is indeed something wrong with his kidneys." Bian Mu explained with a serious expression.

"Ah?! Is it serious?" Mrs. Chen's expression suddenly changed, and the chopsticks in her hand almost fell to the dining table. Fortunately, she was a person who had seen the big world. She concentrated her mind, and the look on her face quickly returned to normal. .

"How should I put it... You are usually busy with business, and you may not have noticed that the soles of the shoes Mr. Chen is wearing are much thicker and softer than before. We have seen this situation many times before, but if Mr. Chen is looking for something like this, The manufacturer's special order was a bit unusual, so I observed it carefully and took part in the pulse. Finally, I came to the conclusion: Mr. Chen should be suffering from 'kidney yang deficiency', and it has been for a long time. If he cannot get the correct treatment in time, , I'm afraid..." Bian Mu patiently explained for a long time.

"How serious will it be in the end?" Mr. Chen's wife was a little out of breath.

"This... may be life-threatening!" Bian Mu told the truth.

"Ah?! How could this happen?!" Before she finished speaking, the chopsticks in Mrs. Chen's hand fell to the dining table, and one of them slipped to the ground.

Okay! Not long after the shadow of the tumor was gone, the worry about his life suddenly hit his head, which would be difficult for anyone else to accept.

Seeing this, Bian Mu quickly pulled two napkins and put them on his right hand, leaned over to pick up the chopsticks on the ground, walked a few steps and threw them into the trash can.

"Don't be anxious. People who eat whole grains will not get sick. I'm just saying that if you don't take good care of yourself, your life will be in danger in the future. I'm not talking about what will happen soon." Returning to his seat, he bathed He quickly comforted Mrs. Chen with a few words.

"Since you made such a thorough diagnosis, there must be a way to cure it?" Mr. Chen's wife regarded Bian Mu as a life-saving straw.

"This...Mr. Chen's disease has a special cause. If he doesn't cooperate, this disease is really difficult to cure. Furthermore, I am young after all. I may be able to analyze the pathology and formulate a specific treatment plan...I It’s a little bit beyond my capabilities.” Bian Mu answered truthfully.

"Oh! The cause of the disease is special? How do you say this?" At this point, Mrs. Chen seemed to realize something, her eyes wandered, as if she was turning on the lightning recall mode of her brain to try to capture some suspicious signs.

"This... what I want to say may affect your relationship as a couple, so... you have to know that I haven't married yet, and some things are purely derived based on medical theories in books. Real life is ever-changing and too complicated! Maybe Mr. Chen is an exception!" Bian Mu was not trying to excuse Mr. Chen, he was actually telling the truth.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen's face became ashen as water, and she was speechless for a long time.

What Bian Mu said just confirmed some of Mrs. Chen's previous guesses. It is difficult to think about everything in the world. What's more, Mrs. Chen is extremely shrewd and her mind gradually came to her mind.

"If he is really in danger of life, how long can he live?" Mrs. Chen asked with a serious expression.

"Then it must be calculated based on Mr. Chen's physical examination report. Generally speaking, every millimeter of the special soft-soled shoes on Mr. Chen's feet will increase, the condition will worsen, and accordingly, the life expectancy will be relatively shortened. According to relevant ancient books According to records, through the calculation of Yin Yang and Five Elements, it can be as specific as one month. However, those are all legends. Anyway, I have never done similar calculations for patients. You don’t have to be so pessimistic. For Nie Yixiong, a master and famous doctor, Mr. Chen’s illness may not be a big deal at all, but of course, the premise is that he must tell the truth to Senior Nie.”

"It can be seen that Dr. Bian is a very sensible person. Let's open the window and speak openly. There is no need to hide it. Are you saying that our old Chen has a woman outside?"

"Absolutely...different from ordinary people, Mr. Chen has a good family background and is not short of money, so...some things may be done more secretly. As long as the symptoms are not particularly obvious, he will never admit it. By then , I'm afraid it will be counterproductive, and things will be counterproductive. Senior Nie has great medical skills and a sea of ​​experience, so he may have a more clever method." Bian Mu suggested.

"Yeah! Got it!" Mr. Chen's wife responded coldly.

At this moment, "Wang Yue Bai" steamed fish was served.

Maybe she was in a bad mood. Mrs. Chen took a few polite sips and put her new chopsticks on the table, no longer interested in eating.

Bian Mu knew the value of the steamed fish in front of him. Seeing that Mr. Chen's wife was not in a high mood, he had to pretend to be confused and lowered his head to taste a few mouthfuls of the delicious food.

Mrs. Chen behaved very well. She couldn't leave just because her mind was complicated. It would be too disrespectful to do so. So she took out her mobile phone and started sending text messages to different people. She looked very calm. She had to admit that the sight in front of her was The psychological quality of this business woman is quite strong.

Bian Mu felt awkward sitting there eating. After eating a few mouthfuls, he called the landlady over to pay the bill.

Mr. Chen's wife paid for the meal first, forced a smile, and left with a few polite words.

Bian Mu followed closely, sending Mr. Chen's wife to the parking lot and watching Mr. Chen's wife get into the car and leave before turning around and going home.

…

In the dead of night, Bian Mu suddenly felt that something was wrong when he recalled some details of dining with Mr. Chen's wife in a small restaurant.

"'Kidney yang deficiency' can be divided into many conditions. With Mrs. Chen's education level and shrewd and careful mind, she should at least ask me about the relevant pathological details in detail. For example, the pathological origin of deliberately thickened shoe soles , the dialectical relationship between kidney yang deficiency and gout and other key details, then why didn't she mention a word?" Bian Mu thought to himself.

After thinking about it, Bian Mu gradually realized that Mrs. Chen might not have told her husband the true condition at all, and there was no way to talk about how to treat it.

As he thought about it more and more, Bian Mu couldn't help feeling that his back began to feel cold...
