Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

It was the first time that Lu Qing heard someone call him "doctor", and he found this title quite interesting.

He turned to look at Zhang Yuhong and motioned for her to come in and sit down.

Zhang Yuhong was still a little nervous when she came in. She remembered that she didn't trust Lu Qing last time and turned away, so she said carefully: "You...last time..."

Lu Qing just smiled faintly and responded calmly: "I am open for business. If you come to me for medical treatment, I will treat you."

Zhang Yuhong felt relieved when she heard this. She looked at Lu Qing with gratitude, then walked into the house and sat down.

Chen Wenhui and Song Qian assisted tacitly. Chen Wenhui cleaned up the place and Song Qian poured water to entertain the guests. The two women cooperated very well.

Zhang Yuhong extended her hand to Lu Qing, who felt her pulse and said, "Your physical condition is worse than last time."

Zhang Yuhong smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, I don't even have the energy to go out during this period. I feel like an oil lamp that is about to run out of energy."

Lu Qing glanced at her and said seriously, "It's not easy to completely cure your illness. I will prescribe you a medicine to help you recuperate. I will do further treatment after you recover a little."

Zhang Yuhong nodded quickly: "Thank you, Doctor Lu."

If it were in the past, when Zhang Yuhong heard the doctor say "regulate the body", she would definitely be suspicious and think it was another lie and delaying talk.

However, at this moment, facing Lu Qing, she no longer had such doubts, but still couldn't help asking: "Doctor Lu, can my disease... really be cured?"

Lu Qing looked at her and said firmly, "Yes."

This affirmative answer made Zhang Yuhong feel relieved, as if she had taken a reassurance pill, and she nodded solemnly.

Lu Qing immediately went to prepare medicine for her. After a while, he prepared the prescription and handed it to her: "This medicine is not used to directly treat your illness, but just to help you regulate your body. Do you understand?"

Zhang Yuhong nodded to show that she understood: "I understand."

"Take it for three days first, and then come back to me after three days." Lu Qing reminded.

Zhang Yuhong stood up and said gratefully, "Thank you, Doctor Lu." After paying for the medicine, she left.

Lu Qing was planning to take a short break when suddenly, a familiar electronic voice sounded in his mind.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 gratitude points. You can add more points as you wish."

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment. Gratitude? What is this?

After a little exploration, he quickly understood the significance of this new reward.

It turns out that if the patient is truly grateful to him, he will gain gratitude points.

These points can be used to increase the extraction value or the integral value.

Lu Qing recalled that the last time he treated a child, even though the child trusted him, he did not receive any gratitude points.

The system seemed to have heard his doubts, and immediately gave an answer: "Last time was a test of your medical skills. Only doctors who pass the test can truly gain gratitude points."

The system went on to explain: "You have passed the test, and you will become a real doctor in the future."

Lu Qing laughed and thought that even without the test of this system, he would become a good doctor sooner or later.

At this moment, a smile emerged in his heart.

It took a full 80 points of extraction to remove Chen Wenhui's birthmark. He was originally worried about the problem of replenishing the extraction points, but he did not expect that the patient's gratitude would allow him to accumulate more points so quickly.

It seems that as long as he concentrates on treating patients and gains their sincere gratitude, he won't have to worry about the lack of extraction value in the future.

As for the points value, that is his most precious resource. Although he doesn't need to spend too many points to draw small things, his goal is far more than these small things.

Lu Qing looked at the points displayed on the system interface, and his eyes were attracted by one of the options - elementary fairy arts.

Immortal magic!

This is not something that ordinary people can access; it only exists in novels and myths.

If I master this power, perhaps my future life will be completely different.

By then, he was no longer confined to the small world of the courtyard, but was able to freely explore the vast world, break free from constraints and pursue true freedom.

The courtyard is just a starting point, and there are countless greater opportunities waiting for him outside.

When he was immersed in these thoughts, Chen Wenhui interrupted his thoughts and said, "Today is a good day. I'll go buy some delicious food and we'll celebrate in the evening."

Lu Qing nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Chen Wenhui turned to Song Qian and said, "Miss Song, come and have dinner with us later."

When Song Qian heard the invitation, she said shyly, "Me? That's not a good idea..."

"You're welcome. You've helped us a lot." Chen Wenhui said with a smile, and then walked out.

Song Qian looked at Chen Wenhui's back and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She knew very well that she had indeed helped Lu Qing a lot.

At least, I was able to get this house thanks to my relationship with my grandfather.

She turned around and looked at Lu Qing, and asked with some curiosity: "How did you cure Sister Hui's birthmark just now? Can you tell me?"

Lu Qing was a little surprised. He didn't expect Song Qian to ask this suddenly.

He was thinking about how to answer so as not to reveal his true colors and yet appear reasonable.

So he said, "This is a more complicated medical technique, especially when it comes to the formula of medicinal herbs. When you went to collect herbs with me last time, I noticed that you didn't know much about Chinese medicine. It would be better for you to identify all the herbs first, and then discuss these."

After hearing what he said, Victoria Song's pretty face turned slightly red, and she was indeed a little embarrassed.

She studied Western medicine and she didn't recognize many Chinese medicinal herbs.

Many plants look similar, but their actual uses and medicinal effects are completely different.

She realized that if she didn't work hard to learn, she would never be able to understand Lu Qing's words.

She nodded solemnly: "I understand, I will study hard."

Lu Qing smiled with satisfaction: "Come to my house for dinner later."

"...Okay." Song Qian agreed. Then, she returned to the house, prepared to wash up and end a busy day.

Lu Qing began to focus on thinking about how to treat Zhang Yuhong's condition.

The lupus erythematosus that Zhang Yuhong suffers from is not a simple disease. It is an immune system disease, and even modern medicine many years later does not have many effective treatments.

In the past, when he didn't understand medicine, he only thought that the doctor's level was the key.

Now that I have become a doctor, I have deeply realized that some diseases cannot be cured by simple medical skills.

The human body is a mysterious realm. Many times, what truly cures the disease is not the doctor's methods, but the patient's own immunity.

But lupus is a disorder of the immune system, which is difficult to cure with traditional medicine. Lu Qing knew that he needed to use other means to deal with this problem.

Right now, Lu Qing’s top priority is to cure Xu Shichang’s illness first.

Once successful, his clinic will surely become famous, and more and more patients of status and position will come to him.

By then, the development of the clinic will steadily increase and there will no longer be any worries.

More importantly, if he could cure Zhang Yuhong's lupus erythematosus, the neighbors in the courtyard would have more trust in his medical skills.

Once word of mouth is established, this clinic can rely on a steady stream of patients to embark on a path of sustainable development.
