Ma Xiaolian thought the taste of the soup was very good. When she first took it in her mouth, it was a slight enjoyment. But after holding it for a while, the feeling of enjoyment turned into torture.
First of all, there was a lot of soup in his mouth. Because he couldn't move, his mouth became sour and numb. Secondly, the soup was like awns, constantly stimulating Ma Xiaolian's tongue. The feeling could not be regarded as pain.
But it was definitely uncomfortable. If Gu Zheng's eyes hadn't signaled Ma Xiaolian to recognize him, she would have sprayed the soup out.
Finally, when she couldn't stand it anymore, Ma Xiaolian swallowed the soup in her mouth, and then stretched out her tongue without caring about the image. She didn't feel very good, her cheeks were sore and numb, and her tongue had an indescribable discomfort.
, it seems that this is the only way to make her feel better.
"Daughter, how do you feel?" Li Susu asked hurriedly.
"I don't feel very good. My tongue is almost numb." Ma Xiaolian's tongue was so big when she spoke.
"Xiaolian's disease is on her tongue. Because of this, everything she eats feels strange. The diet therapy I gave her is to treat her tongue. Her current discomfort is inevitable during the treatment process.
"
Gu Zheng said seriously, and everyone else nodded suddenly after hearing this, but Doctor Niu at the other table still laughed.
Doctor Niu's initially wavering heart became firmer. Regardless of whether what Gu Zheng said was true or not, in his opinion, Ma Xiaolian's current discomfort was real.
"While your tongue is numb, drink the fourth sip of soup quickly, otherwise you will suffer the consequences when your tongue regains consciousness and you drink soup again." Gu Zheng said.
"good!"
Ma Xiaolian spoke loudly, and then drank the fourth spoonful of soup.
Ma Xiaolian still swallowed the soup until her cheeks were sore and her tongue was tingling. However, during this time, Ma Xiaolian had to hold back twice and did not spit it out.
The hearts of others were tightly clenching. They hoped that Gu Zheng's dietary therapy was effective and did not want Ma Xiaolian to vomit out the soup. Once she really vomited out the soup, wouldn't it be what Dr. Niu said before about vomiting and diarrhea?
Did you vomit from the middle?
When Ma Xiaolian took a short rest, both Li Susu and Ma Beifeng asked her how she felt, but this time Ma Xiaolian's tongue was even worse, so that her words were unclear and difficult to hear clearly.
Doctor Niu smiled again. With his many years of medical experience, he knew that Ma Xiaolian's tolerance for the soup had reached its limit, and he would definitely spray it next time.
"I told you, you don't believe it. Now she can no longer bear it. She will definitely vomit the fifth mouthful of soup. This is really a sign of poisoning!"
For Dr. Niu, if he doesn't speak now, then when will he?
However, Doctor Niu was wrong. Although the city lord and his family were somewhat shaken, their hearts were still firm and they were willing to believe in Gu Zheng.
"Come, I want to take your pulse. When you take your fifth sip of soup, I want to know your pulse clearly."
Gu Zheng said he was taking Ma Xiaolian's pulse, but actually he wanted the immortal power to enter her body without leaving a trace and help her suppress the uncontrollable feeling of vomiting. I have to say that Doctor Niu still takes this very seriously.
Yes, Ma Xiaolian would indeed spit it out when she took the fifth mouthful of soup. This was something Gu Zheng had already expected before.
Ma Xiaolian obediently let Gu Zheng take her pulse, and Gu Zheng's immortal power entered her body without leaving a trace. Ma Xiaolian, who was taking her fifth sip of soup, did not notice anything abnormal, and the vomiting sensation she was originally worried about did not appear, which made her
My heart is really happy.
The waiting process seemed long. It obviously didn't take long to hold a mouthful of soup, especially when Ma Xiaolian's cheeks were already very sore. However, everyone was waiting to see if she would spit it out, so the time was short.
It seemed quite torturous. Among the people who were waiting, Doctor Niu was undoubtedly the one who suffered the most. His words had already been released, but Ma Xiaolian still refused to vomit, and there was no sign of vomiting yet. Her performance was worse than holding the third child in her mouth.
The soup was even smoother when he took four sips, which made him feel a little panicked.
Finally, Ma Xiaolian swallowed the fifth mouthful of soup, but she did not spit it out as Doctor Niu said.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"How do you say this?"
"Doctor Niu, Doctor Niu, how come the city lord's daughter didn't vomit?"
"Yes, please explain to us what is going on!"
"Doctor Niu, don't be silent! I felt you were confident in what you said before and smiled very proudly. Why are you so silent now?"
The spectators did not think it was a big deal, but the troublemakers began to sneer at Doctor Niu, which made Doctor Niu's face turn blue and red.
"Okay, now that your tongue is completely numb, you can just take the next soup and meat as if it were medicine, and it won't taste like anything." Gu Zheng said to Ma Xiaolian.
"Ti Chu, how long will this situation last?" Li Susu asked.
"It will last for one day. After you come over tomorrow, Xiaolian's sense of taste will recover and her appetite will recover after she takes the second dietary treatment I do. After she takes the third dietary treatment, her sense of taste will
It will be completely recovered, and that's when the disease will be cured." Gu Zheng said.
“Thank you Chef Tie!”
The Ma family thanked Gu Zheng together.
"It's a little early to say thank you. Aren't there people who don't believe it and are laughing at it?"
As Gu Zheng spoke, he turned his head and looked at Doctor Niu who was sitting on pins and needles.
"I didn't have time to tell you anything just now. Now that I have time, it's time for us to talk."
Gu Zheng paused, then sneered at Doctor Niu: "Before, you said that Xiaolian would vomit when she took the fifth mouthful of soup, but the result was the opposite of what you said. Do you have anything else to say?"
When Gu Zheng said this, he was actually giving Doctor Niu a chance. If Doctor Niu could let go of his face, he could just apologize, but Doctor Niu was obviously not that kind of person.
"Hmph, she was definitely going to vomit. Your pulse was weird. I think you are a person with internal strength. You used your internal strength to suppress her feeling of vomiting!"
Doctor Niu's mind was not spinning very fast. Apart from this reason, she really couldn't figure out why such an unconventional thing happened.
"You're talking nonsense, I didn't feel any inner strength at all!"
Ma Xiaolian didn't like Doctor Niu either, so she yelled at Doctor Niu at this time.
"Did you hear that? The person involved didn't feel any internal force, so why do you say that?" Gu Zheng's eyes narrowed.
"Why does Laochan rely on my years of experience in practicing medicine?"
"Don't talk about your medical experience, just pretend that you are like a miracle doctor!"
Gu Zheng interrupted Doctor Niu's words. He no longer wanted to talk nonsense to Doctor Niu.
"Since Doctor Niu has been having trouble with me, I will give you two options now. The first is to sincerely apologize to me and the city lord's family, and let this matter go. The second is if you still insist on yourself.
, then we will wait for three days. If Xiaolian's illness is cured by then, you will no longer need to practice medicine, because you are a jealous quack and are not worthy of treating people. If I lose,
Then I will leave Qingfeng City and never come back again!"
Gu Zheng's words made everyone around him audible. No one expected that things would turn out like this in the end. They thought it was just a sarcastic comment. But looking back and thinking about it, although Gu Zheng seemed kind-hearted, he seemed
I have never been an easy person to talk to, just like when I took someone to smash Piaoxiang Tower.
The onlookers didn't expect it, nor did the impulsive Doctor Niu. It wasn't until he calmed down a little after listening to Gu Zheng's words that he realized that things had reached this point.
Compromise and admit your mistake? This is impossible for Dr. Niu. If he really does this, he will lose face for the rest of his life. But if he does not compromise, he will have to wait until three days to see the result. If he loses
That one, he will not be able to treat people in the future, and he will have a reputation as a quack doctor.
People are different. If it were someone else, they might be able to tell that Gu Zheng still didn’t want to be as knowledgeable as Doctor Niu. He was given two ways to choose, instead of just giving him one and forcing him to choose. Of the two ways, the former
Compromise can settle the matter. Even if the latter loses, he can still stay in Qingfeng City. But if the loser is Gu Zheng, he will leave Qingfeng City and never come back again!
However, Doctor Niu didn't think so. He saw things from the other side, so he smiled, even with a little hatred: "Chef Tie, you are not old, but you have a very vicious heart! You gave me the first blow to this old man."
The second path seems to be very benevolent at first, but it is actually very insidious! If you lose, you will be done with leaving Qingfeng City, and you will not be able to hear anyone else scolding them. But if I lose, I will not only be closed
It’s really heart-breaking to stay in Qingfeng City and listen to those gossips!”
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Gu Zheng was annoyed by Doctor Niu. It is true that the same rice can support all kinds of people.
"If you are determined to be yourself, then don't be afraid of losing! If the loser is really me, I can stay in Qingfeng City and listen to the rumors." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"No need!"
Doctor Niu blushed, he was also attracted by Gu.
"If I lose, I will leave Qingfeng City and never come back!"
Before Gu Zheng could say anything, Doctor Niu left angrily.
"I really didn't expect that something like this would happen. I asked Chef Ti to treat my little girl and also offended someone because of it. I'm really embarrassed." Li Susu argued to Gu.
"It doesn't matter. If he wants to cause trouble, I can't even hide. Fortunately, the process is very fast. It only takes three days." Gu Zheng shrugged.
"No matter what, I still have to thank Chef Tie." Ma Beifeng rushed to the ancients and clasped his fists.
"As I said before, when I take care of Xiaolian's illness, you will thank me again!"
Gu Zheng paused, clasped his fists around and said, "Excuse me, everyone, I have to cook."
Gu Zheng returned to the kitchen, and the front hall of Jixiang Xiaozhu became lively again. Everyone was talking about what happened just now, and the discussion was one-sided towards Gu Zheng. They all felt that Doctor Niu was too weird. As for saying that he had
No one was worried that Dr. Niu would win, since there was no such person in the front office.
Qingfeng City is bustling, and what happened in Jixiang Xiaozhu quickly spread throughout the city. No matter what the final result is, Dr. Niu's people are in a big loss anyway. When the so-called wall falls, everyone pushes it, and some people also start to pull it.
There was some dirty stuff about Dr. Niu, about how he only paid for medical treatment, about how a certain lady was harassed by him when she went to see a doctor, etc. Some of these dirty stuff were true, and some were fabricated. Anyway, it was passed on to Dr. Niu.
When I heard it, Doctor Niu was really angry to death.
At noon the next day, there were more people waiting outside Jixiang Xiaozhu. Like those yesterday, these people wanted to enter Jixiang Xiaozhu with the city lord and his family. However, the people today were different from the people yesterday.
Yesterday, people were just looking forward to the appearance of the city lord and his family. Today, while people are looking forward to the appearance of the city lord and his family, they are also looking forward to the appearance of Doctor Niu.
"When did you think the city lord and his family would come? It's almost the same time as yesterday!"
"The lord of a city naturally has a lot of things to be busy with. It is common for things to happen unexpectedly. Maybe it will come even later than yesterday!"
"You said that if Jixiang Xiaozhu opens and the city lord and his family haven't come yet, should we enter or not?"
"Whether you can come in or not, I am going to come in anyway. I haven't tasted any of the delicacies that Tie Chef has just introduced!"
"Don't talk about when the city lord and his family will come, let's guess whether Doctor Niu will come!"
"I don't think Dr. Niu will come. His clinic was not open yesterday afternoon. I heard people said he was so angry that he became ill."
"Are you angry? Just pretend! Who told him to make trouble?"
"Nonsense, I live next door to Dr. Niu, and I even visited his house last night. How can Dr. Niu be ill? He looks very energetic!"
"Since you and Doctor Niu are neighbors, have you asked Doctor Niu if he wants to come today?"
"You are stupid! Doctor Niu was slapped in the face at Jixiang Xiaozhu. How can I have the nerve to ask him if he wants to come today? However, judging from Doctor Niu's angry tone, he will definitely come today."
"Hey, when will they show up? It's really annoying to wait for someone!"
Everyone waited eagerly, but Ma Beifeng, who had something to do at the moment, was busy with official duties, so he had no choice but to let Li Susu take Ma Xiaolian to Jixiang Xiaozhu. As for Doctor Niu, there was no way he wouldn't come, he had already left the house.
, and stay on the only road that the city lord and his family must pass. He wants to go there with the city lord and his family. If he goes there too early, he will definitely see some eyes that he does not want to see, and hear some rumors that he does not want to hear.
.
Finally, Li Susu and Ma Xiaolian appeared in Doctor Niu's sight, and Doctor Niu's heart couldn't help but move.
Originally, Doctor Niu had planned to follow the city lord and his family to Jixiang Xiaozhu without saying much. Anyway, he knew that the city lord and his family did not have a good impression of him. However, Ma Beifeng did not come today, which made Niu
The doctor thought it would be better to say something.
"Miss Xiaolian, how did you feel after you went back yesterday?"
Doctor Niu tried his best to smile kindly, but what he received was Ma Xiaolian's eyes.
"I don't want to talk to you."
When Ma Xiaolian said such words, Li Susu also pretended not to hear, which made Doctor Niu very embarrassed.
"Madam City Lord, why didn't Lord City Lord come with you?"
Feeling that he couldn't ask anything from Ma Xiaolian, Doctor Niu turned to Li Susu.
"He is busy with official duties and can't come."
Li Susu said indifferently, and then said: "We, mother and daughter, don't want to talk. Dr. Niu, you should also take a rest!"
Li Susu directly blocked Doctor Niu's conversation and pulled her daughter forward quickly. She obviously didn't want to talk to Doctor Niu anymore, which made Doctor Niu very embarrassed.
Looking at the indifferent mother and daughter in front of him, and thinking about their enthusiasm when seeking medical treatment, Doctor Niu couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart.
When Jixiang Xiaozhu opened at noon, Li Susu, her mother and daughter, and Dr. Niu and others were the first batch of diners to enter.
The diet used to treat Ma Xiaolian still requires a long time to stew, so Gu Zheng had already stewed it in advance. As soon as Li Susu and her daughter sat down, Gu Zheng had someone bring out the diet.
This time, the dietary therapy was still placed in a soup basin with a lid. All the diners stretched their necks, but Ma Xiaolian did not lift the lid of the soup basin, so they could not know what was inside.
"Will this dietary therapy look weird?" Ma Xiaolian raised her head and asked Gu Zheng.
Yesterday, Ma Xiaolian was obedient and took the diet, but last night she had a dream, in which a strange bird chased her and pecked her. It looked very similar to a weak water jackdaw.
"Yes, it still looks weird." Gu Zheng smiled.
"All right!"
Ma Xiaolian reluctantly took off the lid of the soup basin and frowned.
I saw that there was a tortoise placed in the soup basin, but this tortoise looked very strange, with a long neck stretched out, and a grid formed by red stripes on it. The shell was also red that ordinary tortoises did not have.
"This, what is this?"
Ma Xiaolian stuttered a little. Not only had she never seen this thing before, neither had the other diners.
"Hehe, hehehe."
At this moment, Doctor Niu sneered, and his smile was so weird that it even made people feel a little creepy.
"why are you laughing?"
Li Susu frowned and asked Doctor Niu.
Doctor Niu didn't answer directly. He rolled up his sleeves and showed his arms to everyone. His arms were covered with goose bumps and even the hairs on his hair stood up.
"I want to ask Chef Ti, where did you get this?" Doctor Niu looked at Gu Zheng.
"I bought it from Chaoyang City Market, is there anything wrong with it?" Gu Zhengdan asked.
"Is there such a thing in the Chaoyang City market? Stop joking!"
Doctor Niu looked at Gu Zheng very seriously for a while, and then he looked at the crowd and said, "Has anyone here heard of Gu magic?"
"I have heard!"
"I've heard it too!"
Someone among the diners immediately spoke.
With the decline of the witch clan, the art of witchcraft has become a legend. Many people have heard of it, but few have seen it.
"This bastard's name is the blood turtle. It is used as feed for raising poisonous insects. It is an evil creature that eats dead human flesh and grows up!"
Doctor Niu was very serious, and his words aroused great reactions from everyone. Many people took a breath, and Ma Xiaolian, who was looking at the bastard in the basin, heard that the things in the basin grew up by eating dead human flesh.
, he immediately covered his mouth with his hands and almost didn't spit it out.
