Chapter 3: Dog Skin Plaster
Since childhood, Sui Ge has been involved in the business of hawking medicine, making him quite experienced in this field. In fact, the price of Sui Ge's dog-skin plaster fluctuates significantly in the countryside. The old landlord often says: "When encountering commoners, sell at the commoner price; when encountering officials, sell at the official price. When meeting people, sell at the people's price; when encountering ghosts, sell at the ghost price"
The enchanting elder sister was so intimidated by Sui Ge that, although somewhat displeased, she did not dare to make a joke at her own expense. She could only endure that disgusting adhesive plaster being stuck on her delicate and tender feet for about another ten minutes.
Therefore, the price of the dog plaster in his family has ranged from 9.9 to 990
The young doctor was so furious that smoke seemed to be coming out of his seven orifices, his face had turned the color of pig liver, and the corners of his mouth trembled with rage, as if he were about to spit out a few mouthfuls of blood. He never expected that not only was his medical skill inferior to that of this young punk, but even in a war of words, he was leagues behind.
The young doctor swallowed hard, a sense of frustration rising within him, and he couldn't help but think: "Have all my years of studying Western medicine and clinical experience really been in vain? Am I truly not even as good as a mere novice..."
to bring shame upon oneself
The price of ninety-nine is neither high nor low, but within just a few minutes, dozens of dog-skin plasters were sold out, and even the lady in black stockings next to it hurriedly bought two patches
Subsequently, she was astonished to find that the pain had completely vanished; after moving her joints slightly, she experienced no discomfort whatsoever
The elegant lady exerted considerable effort to clean her small feet and even sprayed a bit of perfume on them, as she felt that the unpleasant odor of the dog skin plaster still lingered. However, when she emerged from the restroom, she discovered that the detestable little rascal was actually lighting up fried tickets on his seat, laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. The entire carriage was filled with a strong scent of dog skin plaster.
The young doctor felt both ashamed and angry, nearly rushing over to engage in a physical confrontation with Sui Ge. However, upon seeing Sui Ge's sturdy and wild physique, he immediately deflated. Having already suffered a complete humiliation in spirit and reputation, he decided not to endure further physical torment. The young doctor finally understood this principle, and with a dejected demeanor, returned to his seat, pulling out a newspaper to bury his entire head in it.
She was about to stand up when she heard Sui Ge menacingly say, "If you don't want to leave any aftereffects, then wait another ten minutes"
Sui Ge disdainfully snorted, and then a flash of inspiration struck him. He took out a piece of dog skin plaster and, with a smile, introduced it to the crowd in a loud voice: "Everyone has seen m. hetushu. com, this is my family's ancestral dog skin plaster, which has been passed down for thousands of years, uniquely crafted, incredibly effective, specifically for treating bruises and injuries, rheumatic pain, effective with just one application, works like magic..."
Sui Ge took out a piece of dog-skin plaster and, with a sharp slap, stuck it firmly on the young doctor's mouth, sealing it completely. "This is a free gift for you!"
The elegant woman, as if granted a reprieve, quickly and carefully peeled off the dog skin plaster with her two fingernails, fearing that she might touch the dark, greasy ointment resembling soot from the bottom of a pot. She swiftly tossed the dog skin plaster into a garbage bag and sealed it, nimbly standing up and darting into the bathroom. Just look at her demeanor; she hardly resembles someone who has just sprained her ankle.
How can the dog-skin plaster be so effective
The crew members and the other passengers were all left dumbfounded.
You ... ... you ... ...
Certainly, not all those purchasing the medicinal plasters are suffering from injuries or rheumatic pain. Rather, having witnessed the remarkable efficacy of Sui Ge's medicinal plasters, they subconsciously believe that these plasters are miraculous remedies. Since they have the fortune to encounter them, it is essential to buy a few. Whether for personal use or as gifts for friends and family, it is certainly a wise choice.
At this moment, those who had purchased the plaster actively handed their money and books to him. Sui Ge glanced at it and estimated it to be around three to four thousand, which brought him a sense of quiet satisfaction.
The young doctor knew he had already lost and was about to return to his seat in defeat. However, to his surprise, Sui Ge had no intention of letting him off the hook. Sui Ge smiled at him and said, "This doctor, is my two-dollar plaster still effective?"
This is outrageous! This person's words are very venomous
The term "doctor" was originally a title of respect, but at this moment, it sounded particularly harsh to the young physician. Suddenly, a malicious thought flashed through his mind, and he sneered, "Who knows what medicinal materials your dog-skin plaster is made from? It might leave some toxic side effects. Moreover, dog-skin plaster is made from dog skin, and it could potentially transmit rabies! Folk doctors can be quite harmful!"
Several other passengers in different compartments, upon hearing the news, also intended to purchase some dog-skin plaster from Sui Ge. Unfortunately, at that moment, the plasters in Sui Ge's possession had already sold out. The passengers felt extremely regretful and could only leave a number for Sui Ge, requesting that he be sure to call them when he had more plasters available.
"Young man, I have a chronic rheumatic condition. Is it treatable?" Indeed, someone has begun to seek medical advice.
He chuckled, happily received a dog skin plaster, rubbed it a few times in his hands, and then applied it to his calf. Moments later, he exclaimed that this dog skin plaster was indeed effective
What is even more despicable is that when the young man saw her approaching, he actually extended his hand and said: "Ninety-nine yuan!"
Old man, you truly understand the way, replied: "Of course, one patch works wonders, and three patches will surely cure you! If you want to buy, I can give you a discount, ninety-nine yuan per patch. Just stay seated, and I will bring it to you shortly. If it doesn't work, I won't take a single cent from you! I want to avoid those who say I am being flashy and deceptive, selling something worth two yuan for ninety-nine!"
Sui Ge originally thought that the other party would concede and apologize, but unexpectedly, this young doctor put on such a performance, disdainfully stating: "The dog-skin plaster from my family has been passed down for over 1,300 years, and the dog skin used is thoroughly steamed with medicinal herbs, so it naturally carries no viruses. Isn't Western medicine all about clinical trials? My family's dog-skin plaster has treated countless patients, and I have never heard of anyone contracting rabies from it. Not to mention, you can ask around in Huangping County; in every town and village, who doesn't know the golden brand 'Sui Plaster'? Even if the county magistrate breaks a leg, the first thing he does is not go to the hospital, but rather seek out the medicine! Furthermore, as a Western doctor, do you really understand rabies? Most rabies cases are transmitted through bites or infected wounds, and this young lady merely sprained her ankle, with no skin wounds. Even if there were a virus, she would not be infected. Otherwise, with so many people in the city raising cats and dogs, touching them every day, wouldn't that mean there are madmen running around everywhere according to your logic? Incompetent doctors are truly harmful!"
As her injuries began to heal, the enchanting lady finally calmed down
What is wrong with you? Why is your mouth twitching so much? Have you lost your mind?
Finally, Sui Ge nodded, indicating that she could remove this dogskin plaster.
Sui Ge's words were delivered with unwavering conviction and impressive force, instantly leaving the young doctor stunned. However, Sui Ge did not stop there and continued to press on relentlessly, saying: "Look at you—unable to even treat a minor injury like a sprained ankle, this shows a lack of medical skill! Is that not true? You doubt and slander traditional Chinese medicine, mislead patients, and nearly delay their treatment; furthermore, you grossly exaggerate the dangers of rabies, spreading alarmist rhetoric. This is a decline in medical ethics! Is that not true? Knowing you are wrong, yet refusing to correct your mistakes, clinging to your ignorance, this reflects a low character! Is that not true? It is evident that you are not only unworthy of being a qualified doctor, but you do not even qualify as a decent person! This is why some people say that doctors are just licensed thugs; they are referring to scum like you!"
