Chapter 192 Stewed Old Hen
"Brother Yicheng! I'm wondering if the combination of Meridian Acupuncture and Blue Fern Decoction would be even more effective." Zhang Jianjun was spouting nonsense.
Qiao Yicheng was completely confused. "Forget it, I don't understand! How long have you been waiting here? Just go up next time. I'm on the fourth floor, room 404."
Zhang Jianjun stated frankly, "I only arrived recently myself."
Qiao Yicheng thought Zhang Jianjun had been waiting for a long time and was getting bored and distracted, but he was afraid that he would overthink things and not tell the truth, so he was immediately moved. "Let's go eat first. We can talk about the program this afternoon!"
Just then, Song Qingyuan happened to pass by and was stopped by Qiao Yicheng to go out for a meal together.
Song Qingyuan is Qiao Yicheng's partner, that is, the photographer.
There was a high-end restaurant next to the TV station. Qiao Yicheng had recovered his losses, as he was still deeply moved.
"Qingyuan, let me introduce you. This is my neighbor's younger brother, Zhang Jianjun. Don't let his young age fool you, he's already a medical doctor and works at the affiliated hospital."
"Xiao Jun, this is my partner, Song Qingyuan."
Qiao Yicheng sat in the middle and introduced the two to each other.
Song Qingyuan waved to Zhang Jianjun across Qiao Yicheng, "Dr. Zhang, you're the one who checked our health science column this afternoon, right? Thank you for your hard work! I never expected Dr. Zhang to be so young."
"You flatter me, we're all on the same side, just call me Jianjun." Zhang Jianjun was also eager to get to know Song Qingyuan, after all, he was the famously public-spirited and clear-headed character in the drama.
Song Qingyuan was a straightforward person. "Okay, Jianjun, which department are you in at the affiliated hospital?"
Before Zhang Jianjun could speak, Qiao Yicheng interjected, "Xiaojun is currently in internal medicine, but his specialty should be traditional Chinese medicine, right?"
“Yes!” Zhang Jianjun nodded with a smile. Although his pharmacology was also very good, the effect of acupuncture should be the most obvious.
Song Qingyuan was surprised, "Traditional Chinese medicine? Is it a family tradition?"
"No, it's about becoming an apprentice of Doctor Ding. I don't know if you've heard of him, but Xiao Jun started learning traditional Chinese medicine from Doctor Ding when he was very young, just a few years old... until he graduated with his doctorate in the last two years and officially started working." Qiao Yicheng suddenly found a satisfying point and introduced Zhang Jianjun's deeds to Song Qingyuan in detail. Seeing Song Qingyuan's constantly shocked expression, it was as if he were introducing his own deeds.
Song Qingyuan was truly shocked after hearing this. Could there really be such an outstanding person? It must be unbelievable. But Qiao Yicheng was a well-known honest man and didn't lie much.
Zhang Jianjun was used to this kind of thing. How could he really live a plain and uneventful life? ... It doesn't seem impossible. Maybe he could give it a try.
In the afternoon, Zhang Jianjun looked at the health science article and found some problems. For example, it completely abandons animal oil, believing that saturated fatty acids will increase the probability of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but in fact, vegetable oil is more easily oxidized at high temperatures, producing carcinogens.
To emphasize only the advantages and ignore the disadvantages is simply dishonest!
Zhang Jianjun narrowed his eyes slightly.
When Zhang Jianjun returned home, he found that Qiao Simei was also there.
Qiao Simei rushed over and hugged Zhang Jianjun's arm, "Brother Jun, I want to become fair-skinned!"
"Simei, you're back from military training? You've gotten quite tanned, haha." Qiao Simei's military training didn't happen in her freshman year; it started in her sophomore year, and it was actually training at a military region—very tough and tiring.
"Brother Soldier, don't laugh at me! Sanli was even darker than me back then! I came to find you as soon as I got back this afternoon. You said you could make me fair-skinned, just like Sanli was after military training. You can put some ointment on me too!" Qiao Simei was sometimes disrespectful, especially to Qiao Sanli. She called her "sister" to her face but "Sanli" behind her back.
Zhang Jianjun pushed Qiao Simei away, freeing his arm. This little one who was feeding him was still a bit too big and uncomfortable. "Okay, I'll make you a portion, but I can't finish it today. It will be ready by noon tomorrow. How about this, I'll deliver it to your school so you don't have to run back and forth."
"Thank you, Brother Jun! You've been out all day, are you tired? Let me give you a massage!" Qiao Simei moved behind Zhang Jianjun and prepared to massage his shoulders.
Zhang Jianjun didn't refuse, closing his eyes to enjoy the very unprofessional massage. "Simei, are you getting used to the new school?"
"It's fine, it's just that my roommates aren't very good-looking, so I always feel like they're a little jealous of me! But it's alright, at least they're not like that Liang Huiping." Qiao Simei's hands kept moving, pressing down.
Zhang Jianjun held down Qiao Simei's hand. Despite her young age, she was quite bold! "You can't be too careful. Be careful yourself, don't believe everything you hear, especially don't follow your classmates out of the school gate!"
Qiao Simei awkwardly withdrew her hand. "Okay! My soldier brother is even more long-winded than my older brother! I'm leaving now. I'll wait for you at school tomorrow."
Zhang Jianjun also got up to find Ding Tongguang. All the medicinal herbs were with Ding Tongguang, and if he wanted to get medicine for Qiao Simei, he would need to go to Ding Tongguang's place. Ding Tongguang had long since retired and stayed at home. When he had nothing to do, he would help Zhang Jianjun process the Chinese medicinal herbs, but he wasn't too busy. Most of the time, he would grow flowers, read newspapers, and take walks.
"Master! Master!"
Ding Tongguang stood up from the middle of the flowerpots. "Xiao Jun is here! I was just thinking of looking for you. Your senior sister hasn't been feeling well these past few days. Come and give her a few acupuncture treatments when you have some free time!"
Because of a serious injury he suffered when he was young, and due to limited resources at the time, even though Ding Tongguang tried his best, he still suffered from chronic illness. Whenever it was cloudy or rainy, he would feel pain in his bones. Zhang Jianjun would give him a few acupuncture treatments, which would provide temporary relief.
Ding Tongguang could also do it, but he was old and his hands were no longer steady, so he stopped using it.
"Okay! Master, I'll get some houttuynia cordata to make some ointment. I'll go directly to my senior sister later."
Zhang Jianjun took the herbs, greeted Ding Tongguang, and went to Ding Jiqing's house. These days, it seems that everyone tries to find a partner nearby, and Ding Jiqing's house was also very close; it didn't take long to get there.
Before even entering the courtyard, Zhang Jianjun heard a conversation. Perhaps Ding Jiqing had guests, so Zhang Jianjun didn't think much of it and knocked on the door.
Ding Jiqing opened the door. "Xiaojun! What a coincidence! I was just talking about you with your brother-in-law, and here you are!"
Zhang Jianjun smiled and said, "As everyone knows, people from Shandong Province have a sharp tongue! Whatever they say is always true!"
"Stop joking, come in!" Ding Jiqing smiled and ushered Zhang Jianjun inside. But in the living room, Zhang Jianjun saw a short-haired woman.
Ding Jiqing's husband, Ma Hongzhe, stood up and greeted Zhang Jianjun politely, "Jianjun! You've come at the right time. Your senior sister has stewed an old hen, and it will be ready soon. Have some food before you leave."
"I'm so sorry, add more ginger slices to enhance the flavor!" Zhang Jianjun and Ding Jiqing got along very well. Ding Jiqing had always treated Zhang Jianjun like a younger brother since they were children, and Zhang Jianjun reciprocated by treating Ding Jiqing like an older sister.
Ma Hongzhe laughed heartily, put his arm around Zhang Jianjun's shoulder, walked to the sofa, and introduced him to the short-haired woman who had already stood up, "Director Xiang, let me introduce you. This is Ji Qing's junior brother, named Zhang Jianjun. He learned medicine from his father-in-law since he was a child, and later studied Western medicine. Now he has a doctoral degree."
Zhang Jianjun was praised and boasted about by everyone in one day, and finally became a little embarrassed, showing a shy expression. Just then, the short-haired woman saw this and couldn't help but smile.
The short-haired woman, Director Xiang, extended her hand. "Zhang Jianjun, hello, my name is Xiang Nanfang, I'm Hongzhe's colleague, nice to meet you!"
