37: Brothers in distress

Listening to Gao Yang's question, Qin Jiang patiently explained to him.

"If water at such a high temperature were directly poured onto the tongue, it would definitely be scalded, not just a few blisters."

"So Master Dong still has some skill."

Qin Jiang was clearly praising Dong Han, but Dong Han felt increasingly awkward, always feeling as if something wasn't quite right.

Qin Jiang continued, "Didn't you guys keep filming there?"

"If you watch the video playback, you'll see that Master Dong drank very slowly from the beginning, and he blew into the cup to cool it down before each sip."

"Additionally, after the hot water entered his mouth, Master Dong didn't swallow it immediately; instead, he swirled it around in his mouth to dissipate the heat."

"So, by that time, every sip of hot water he drank had actually cooled down to around 50°C. That temperature is acceptable to the human body."

With Qin Jiang's explanation, everyone finally understood.

Liu Yan also said from the side, "No wonder Master Dong's mouth blisters were in a uniform circle; so that's why."

Dong Han couldn't hold back and quickly said to Qin Jiang, "Dr. Qin, please stop discussing my drinking water. Look at these blisters all over my mouth, can you cure them?"

"I feel pain with every breath I take now."

Hearing Dong Han say this, the others couldn't help but feel sorry for him for a few seconds.

The reason Dong Han ended up like this was because he was stubborn.

But even if he was stubborn, he just had to run into someone as slyly wicked as Qin Jiang.

Qin Jiang pointed to the QR code on the table.

"Pay first, fifteen thousand."

Upon hearing the price, Dong Han's eyes widened instantly.

"That expensive!"

Qin Jiang looked calm.

"You think it's expensive? If you think it's expensive, you can go to the Hospital."

"Let them pick your blisters first, then apply various anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics, and slowly treat it."

"The price will definitely be higher than here, and it will take longer than here. If you're willing to spend money to suffer, you can turn right and leave now."

Hearing Qin Jiang say this, Dong Han hesitated immediately.

Dong Han still recognized Qin Jiang's medical skills; otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed here in the first place to have Qin Jiang prove his special abilities.

He took out his phone and made the payment.

A system notification sound rang in Qin Jiang's mind.

Ding.

[Detected that the host was blunt with the patient, revealing the patient's hidden ailment, which greatly helped the patient. Task complete]

[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: God-tier Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation!]

Seeing the system reward, Qin Jiang was a little surprised.

This was the first time the system had given him emergency medical skills.

Could it be that he was about to handle emergency cases?

Qin Jiang fell into contemplation.

Meanwhile, when Dong Han saw the fifteen thousand yuan deducted successfully...

He wanted to cry but had no tears; his heart was bleeding.

He now wished he could slap himself twice!

Why did he have to show off like that for no reason!

He just had to claim he had special abilities, and now look, he lost more than he gained!

"Alright, sit here for a bit. I'll go to the room to prepare your medicine."

Following Qin Jiang's words, Dong Han sat to the side.

At this moment, Dong Han saw Guo Long, who had recovered.

"Buddy, what's your illness?"

Hearing Dong Han's question, Guo Long calmly replied, "Special abilities."

Dong Han: ...

Guo Long thought Dong Han was mocking him, and the situation became very awkward.

Seeing Dong Han's expression, Guo Long knew that Dong Han had misunderstood.

So Guo Long explained his situation to Dong Han.

After listening, Dong Han looked at him with respect, feeling that he wasn't so miserable after all.

He only had blisters in his mouth, but this Buddy had his balls removed!

Special abilities, truly harmful!

Gao Yang was indeed a qualified reporter; he keenly realized that this was excellent material for anti-superstition propaganda, so he took out his camera and started taking pictures of the two of them.

Gao Yang also inquired about Guo Long's situation in detail, planning to write it together with Dong Han's story to create a special report.

Qin Jiang finished preparing the burn ointment and walked out of the pharmacy.

"Open your mouth and hold this ointment."

As soon as Dong Han opened his mouth, Qin Jiang poured the black ointment in.

An indescribable foul odor immediately filled Dong Han's mouth.

Dong Han subconsciously tried to spit it out, but Qin Jiang grabbed his hand and forcefully closed his mouth.

"Don't spit it out! This ointment alone costs fifteen thousand. If you spit it out, you'll have to buy new ointment, and it'll cost another fifteen thousand."

Hearing Qin Jiang say this, Dong Han, who had been on the verge of spitting, forcefully swallowed back the contents welling up in his stomach.

Guo Long, sitting nearby, instantly looked at him with respect.

He could even swallow that back?

Buddy, you're amazing!

Is this the power of money!

Qin Jiang looked at his watch and said, "Hold the ointment like this for five minutes, then swallow it."

"After swallowing, wait another five minutes, then you can brush your teeth and drink water."

Dong Han nodded and sat to the side, using intense concentration to forcefully prevent himself from spitting it out.

Gao Yang walked up and took a close-up shot of the black ointment.

"Dr. Qin, can you disclose what medicinal ingredients this ointment is made from?"

"Why is it so expensive at fifteen thousand?"

Qin Jiang looked at Gao Yang as if he were looking at an idiot.

The formula for this medicine is the key to Chinese medicine practitioners making money. If I tell you, how will I make money in the future?

I can't possibly say that this ointment is something I made from a bunch of herbs costing a few tens of yuan, can I?

But since Gao Yang asked, if he didn't answer, it would make him seem guilty.

So Qin Jiang said solemnly, "My ointment is formulated from hundreds of precious Chinese medicinal ingredients such as ginseng, deer antler, blood ganoderma, cordyceps, and more. Not only are the ingredients expensive, but the preparation also takes a lot of time, so the price, naturally, has to be higher."

Gao Yang then asked, "But Dr. Qin, I just saw you go in and come out, and it didn't seem to take much time."

Qin Jiang was not flustered at all and said seriously, "That's because many of the materials are actually prepared by me in advance; otherwise, the patient wouldn't be able to wait!"

"If prepared on the spot, it would take at least forty-nine days."

Gao Yang then showed an expression of sudden realization, instantly feeling that selling this bowl of ointment for fifteen thousand was not expensive at all; it was very reasonable.

After all, labor costs money.

Dong Han also felt much better after hearing this; the fifteen thousand was not spent in vain.

Just then, a family of three entered the medical clinic.

A woman brought her husband and son in, looking very anxious.

What made it even more unbelievable was that the father and son had a large and small light bulb in their mouths, looking very comical.

"Doctor, please save my husband and son! The light bulbs are stuck in their mouths!"
