Chapter 708: 700. Cough Relief and Sleep Induction_1 Chapter 708: 700. Cough Relief and Sleep Induction_1 “You’re at it again.”

Song Sancheng couldn’t stand it and looked at her, “You act on every whim, say one thing and it’s as if it’s set in stone, as if our family could cover all that land in one day… Take a break!”

The plots on the mountain weren’t even all sorted out yet, but the plans for growing this and that were already laid out. No wonder Professor Song couldn’t bear to leave her–

Who else’s farming is like hers, hitting here and there haphazardly, wanting everything!

If you asked Yan Ran and the others, they could probably churn out several papers on it, as the species diversity is just too rich.

Song Tan, however, thought to herself: I used to be able to finish it all in one day!

But now…

“Alright.” She conceded willingly, while still unable to resist reminiscing about those pumpkin dried goods–

They were both spicy and fragrant, chewy with the sweet taste of pumpkin, truly delicious!

“Mom, why don’t we plant a few more acres of those next year and just sell them.”

“Sure, sure, sure!” Wu Lan agreed with her repeatedly, “We’ll sell them, we’ll sell them next year!”

As for next year’s plans, that’s for next year to decide.

The house was filled with laughter and joy, but as Zhang Yanping walked on the road, he was already dutifully pondering how to tell the fans during Qiaoqiao’s live stream that the top three on the leaderboard would receive gifts.

Mainly because giving an Ai Tiao to each person, when there were hundreds of thousands of fans, was really a bit hard to announce!

Various dilemmas weighed on his mind so much that he still had a troubled expression when he arrived at Doctor Guo’s door.

Yet inside the room, he saw smoke swirling about, the strong scent of Ai Cao was quite pungent. Seated in the center on a stool was a little girl, about eight or nine years old.

She sat there, mouth wide open, with a white piece placed on her tongue. Guo Dong was performing what seemed like a ritual with a thick Ai Tiao, moving it high and low, pressing down above her tongue…

You have to say, the posture was quite graceful.

Naturally, he didn’t know that this was a gesture in moxibustion called “bird pecking,” but that didn’t stop him from appreciatively watching for a while.

When the little girl made a noise, he thought she had been burnt, so he stepped forward, only to hear Guo Dong encouraging her, “It’s okay, hold on for a little while longer, it’ll be over soon.”

“Come on, open your mouth wide, stick out your tongue…”

The little girl was obedient; as soon as she was told, she didn’t whimper again, but instead clenched her hands on the edge of the stool and bravely uttered an “ah,” sticking her tongue out far.

That white disc, Zhang Yanping finally recognized it–it was none other than a slice of garlic!

It wasn’t until a good while later that Guo Dong finally put the Ai Tiao into a stainless steel narrow tube beside her and screwed the cap tight. Then he looked at the little girl as she “ptooey” spat out the garlic slice and helped her rub her cheeks:

“Tired?”

“A little tired.”

The little girl said with a hint of grievance.

“Do you still want to cough? Does your stomach still hurt?”

The other party paused for a moment, then suddenly realized–

“I’m not coughing anymore, I really am not! It’s so effective!”

Guo Dong smiled warmly, not treating her perfunctorily because she was a child, “The effect is quite good, but Ai Tiao is a bit drying, it’s not suitable to moxibustion for too long today. Come back tomorrow afternoon at the same time, and we’ll nip the illness in the bud.”

The little girl nodded, sitting obediently on the stool for a while, until the old lady emerged from the bathroom inside.

“Grandma! I’m not coughing anymore!”

“I heard it, I heard it!”

This morning that auntie was still rolling Ai Tiao in Song Tan’s yard! Now she’s already here, with her child in tow, so fast!

Zhang Yanping muttered, but saw the aunt take out her mobile phone: “Doctor Guo, thank you, I’ll transfer the payment to you! However, it’s not easy to place it on the tongue, I’ll need to trouble you again tomorrow.”

“Sure, that’s fine.” The little girl had been sick for quite some time, and Guo Dong also wanted to nip it in the bud.

Zhang Yanping also found it miraculous, and in that moment, completely ignored the aunt’s teasing and gossipy gaze.

“Is she coughing?”

Zhang Yanping asked curiously.

Guo Dong nodded, “After the little girl had a fever a while back, her cough has never stopped. She’s gone through several bottles of cough syrup, and the doctors have told her not to drink any more.”

“Her mother heard from someone that it was due to staying too long in air-conditioning, but now that it’s so hot, it’s unbearable without the air-conditioning on, so they had no choice but to send the child to her grandmother’s.”

The countryside, compared to the city, is always a bit better.

Moreover, the elderly don’t like to turn on the air conditioning. In the city, without air conditioning, not only the children but also the adults truly couldn’t stand it.

“…And as it happens, try moxibustion.”

While saying this, Guo Dong glanced towards the cabinet were the Ai Tiao was stored, feeling very pleased inside:

“Next year, I must talk with Song Tan to plant more Ai Cao. Ai Tiao is really useful.”

By then, half of the Ai Cao will be used to make Ai Tiao, and the other half will be left to dry in the shade and stored, let it sit for three years, and its medicinal properties will surely be gentler and more prolonged. You couldn’t even buy this outside!”

Zhang Yanping sighed, “Let’s talk about next year,”

With Song Tan’s personality, she probably has already thought of dozens of different things to plant by now. Whether Ai Cao gets a turn is another matter.

But this reminded him of the main point of his visit, and he hurriedly asked:

“We’re planning to send a gift of Ai Tiao to the top three fans of Qiaoqiao–many seem to have sleep issues, or suffer from long-term insomnia. So, I wanted to ask you, after receiving the Ai Tiao, which acupoint should they use it on to help with sleep?”

Upon hearing this, Guo Dong couldn’t hide her envy: Giving away Ai Tiao! That is really a rare treat!

She had helped others with moxibustion before, but when had the effects been so immediately obvious? It usually takes a while.

At this moment, she saw the Ai Tiao as truly the best thing ever and was very attentive in her response–

Looking down, she saw that she was wearing flip-flops, so she raised her foot and placed it on a stool, pointing to the area behind the nail bed of her big toe, “See this? Right here, where a few toe hairs grow, this is called the Yinbai Point. Just tell them it’s called the ‘Three-Hair Point,’ that will suffice.”

“Moxa here for 15~30 minutes, keeping a sealed container or something similar at hand. Whenever they feel sleepy, they should immediately extinguish the Ai Tiao and go to sleep.”

This acupoint…

Zhang Yanping stared at Guo Dong’s smooth and rounded toenails, and couldn’t help but daydream for a moment.

It wasn’t until Guo Dong called out to him that he snapped back to reality, hastily saying, “This acupoint is pretty easy to remember, much easier than the ‘Sanyinjiao’ or ‘Zusanli.'”

As he spoke, for some reason, his ears felt vaguely hot.

However, Guo Dong was unable to discern anything from his dark complexion.

She looked at him with some anticipation, “I’ve also taught you some knowledge now, and you can ask me if there are any follow-up questions. But could you ask Song Tan if she might send me two more Ai Tiao separately?”

It didn’t matter that she had twenty sticks, with people from the village coming every few days, they wouldn’t last long. It never hurts to ask Song Tan, having two more is still a gain.

Zhang Yanping touched his burning ears, feeling almost bewitched, “Sure, I’ll ask her for you.”
