46: I'm a doctor. You want me to appraise your treasures?

"Pica, and a relatively severe form of it."

The Old lady was stunned.

"Pica? What kind of illness is that? I've never heard of it."

Seeing that the Old lady didn't understand, Qin Jiang patiently explained.

"Pica, in essence, is when for some reason, one develops an interest in and a strong desire to eat things that are not proper food."

"For example, some people like to eat dirt, some like to eat wall plaster, and some even like to eat feces."

The Old lady's expression immediately turned unpleasant.

She hadn't realized she had such an illness.

But upon closer thought, she felt that what Qin Jiang said made sense; her liking for gasoline and pesticides, wasn't that also a type of pica?

The viewers in the live stream were also enlightened.

"Do people really like to eat feces? I find that hard to believe."

"The world is vast, full of wonders; sometimes you just have to believe."

"There's a strange person in our area who stands guard at the toilet entrance every day, just to get a taste of something warm. I only just learned today that this is called pica."

"Excuse me, does liking to eat feet count as pica?"

"Upstairs, there was someone who liked to eat feet and had athlete's foot, which Dr. Qin cured. I advise you to behave yourself."

Qin Jiang continued to explain the causes of pica to the Old lady.

"The reason people have pica is possibly due to a deficiency of certain trace elements in the body, so they can only obtain them through such means."

"Another reason is a genetic defect, leading to an innate preference for eating certain things, or a dislike for others."

The Old lady's face became even more troubled.

"Genetic defect? Does that mean I have a problem? Will it affect my child?"

The first thing the Old lady thought of was whether her condition would be inherited by her child.

This touched Qin Jiang somewhat.

Isn't that how the older generation is?

They consider everything for their children and grandchildren.

Qin Jiang smiled and comforted her, "Old lady, you don't have to worry so much. Actually, a genetic defect isn't a very serious thing. In fact, everyone has some degree of genetic defect."

"Pica is not a very strange illness either. To give you the simplest example, some people like cilantro, and some people don't."

"This is determined by genes, and it's also a type of pica."

"Similar examples can also be found in local specialties like Houttuynia cordata."

Hearing Qin Jiang say this, the Old lady immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The Old lady had thought it was a very serious, hereditary disease, but now it seemed she didn't need to worry too much.

The Old lady couldn't help but ask, "Then, Little Doctor, since you said this is controlled by genes, can my illness still be cured?"

Qin Jiang made a gesture.

"Don't worry, pica is very easy to cure. Old lady, please scan the code to pay first. The total consultation fee is two thousand three hundred. Then I'll go inside and roll a few pills for you, and you'll be fine."

By this time, the Old lady already fully trusted Qin Jiang's medical skills.

So, without the slightest hesitation, the Old lady directly scanned the code to pay.

Ding.

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

"[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Divine Brahma God Oil]"

Holy cow!

Brahma God Oil!

Is it the 'God Oil' I'm thinking of?

Qin Jiang, who had just walked into the pharmacy, saw this reward and his eyes immediately widened.

This stuff is a good thing! If it's really what he's thinking, then he's hit the jackpot!

As the system imported the information of the Divine Brahma God Oil into Qin Jiang's mind, Qin Jiang himself began to shout excitedly.

The photography team outside the pharmacy looked at each other.

What's going on?

Dr. Qin is rolling pills in the pharmacy and he's this happy?

"Liu Yan, should we go in and take a look?"

Liu Yan shook her head.

"We can't go into the pharmacy. After all, the prescription for compounding medicine is top secret. Let's wait for Dr. Qin to come out."

Liu Yan had to strictly follow the terms of the contract.

Five minutes later, Qin Jiang walked out of the pharmacy, his face beaming.

No wonder, this reward was just too good.

If he had the chance, Qin Jiang even wanted to try it himself.

Handing a white porcelain bottle to the Old lady, Qin Jiang instructed, "There are ten pills in this bottle. Remember to take one every day, and your pica will be cured in ten days."

Taking the small porcelain bottle, the Old lady repeatedly thanked him.

At this moment, the Old man's leg also felt much more comfortable. Qin Jiang simply sold a pair of crutches to the Old man and watched them both leave.

After the two left, Liu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Dr. Qin, you seemed very happy in the pharmacy just now. Was there something good?"

Qin Jiang said very proudly, "When I was rolling pills just now, I remembered a mysterious and ancient medicine, which made me particularly excited."

Hearing Qin Jiang say this, Liu Yan's eyes immediately lit up.

Everyone had seen Qin Jiang's medical skills. Now, even Qin Jiang said this medicine was mysterious and ancient, which showed how powerful it truly was!

"What kind of medicine is it? Can you share it with us?"

Qin Jiang said very calmly, "No need to rush, I will reveal it to everyone later."

This wasn't Qin Jiang deliberately keeping them in suspense; rather, Qin Jiang had already figured out the system's reward pattern.

The things the system rewarded him with would definitely be useful when he treated patients.

He just didn't know which unlucky impotent person would walk into the medical hall next.

Just as Qin Jiang was thinking this, a group of people suddenly rushed in, carrying a basin of water.

"Doctor, please come and help us take a look. What kind of treasure is this?!"

Seeing so many people suddenly rush in, Qin Jiang was also a bit stunned.

Could it be that all these old men are impotent?

Oh my god, that's really awkward. Wouldn't that be a collective social death?

Qin Jiang coughed, and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Who's here to see a doctor?"

Who knew these people would shake their heads.

"We're not here to see a doctor, we're here to ask you to appraise a treasure."

"Appraise a treasure?"

Qin Jiang was confused.

"I'm a doctor, not an antique expert. For appraisals, you go to a museum. What are you doing coming to me?"

Qin Jiang wanted to persuade this group of people to leave, so they wouldn't delay his business.

Who knew that instead of leaving, this group of people stubbornly said, "Precisely because you are a doctor, this treasure must be appraised by you."

Qin Jiang cursed inwardly.

This is insane, what's wrong with these people, insisting that he appraise a treasure?

An Old man asked, "You're a doctor, right?"

"Yes."

"Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

"Of course."

"Then you must know about Tai Sui, right?"

The Old man pointed proudly and arrogantly at the object in the basin.

"Look, this is the Tai Sui we fished out of the well. Since you're a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, come and help us see if it's real."

Qin Jiang fell silent.

After all that, they wanted him to appraise Tai Sui.

That was indeed a job for Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners; those professors at the museum weren't skilled in it.

However, when Qin Jiang looked closely, he was immediately stunned.

This is Tai Sui?
