Hibiscus Leaves

Even if the psychological issues are resolved, the physical issues still need to be addressed.

For bruises obscuring the eyes, one medicinal ingredient is needed: hibiscus leaves.

The usual method involves grinding fresh hibiscus leaves and vinegar into a juice, which is then applied externally to the eyes.

It usually takes 2-3 days to recover.

However, Su Ziyang didn't have any fresh hibiscus leaves, so he had to settle for using processed medicinal herbs instead.

Grind 10g of hibiscus leaves into powder and mix with aged vinegar.

Su Ziyang prepared the medicine and applied it to Liu Xiaozhe's face.

"It's cool and refreshing, quite invigorating. It's just a little sour and pungent. Hahaha."

Liu Xiaozhe didn't forget to crack a joke.

"Okay. As long as it feels good. Take this medicine home and apply a little every day. It will be fine in a few days."

Su Ziyang handed all the remaining ointment in the box to Liu Xiaozhe.

After Liu Xiaozhe happily accepted the ointment, he had Su Ziyang wrap his head with several layers of gauze before he felt relieved and took the ointment home.

When he got home, his wife saw Liu Xiaozhe's appearance and her anger subsided by half. That evening, she even cooked Liu Xiaozhe some delicious food to help him recover.

A few days later, Liu Xiaozhe's eyes had fully recovered.

Liu Xiaozhe has become a regular visitor to Su Ziyang's place. Whenever he's not busy, he comes over to sit and chat with Su Ziyang Su Ziyang.

Or watch Su Ziyang perform acupuncture on others.

That day, Xie Dong and Liu Xiaozhe bumped into each other. After seeing Su Ziyang finish acupuncture, Liu Xiaozhe suddenly asked, "Brother, do you know massage?"

Yes, I will. Why are you asking this?

Su Ziyang chatted with the two while tidying up the medical waste.

"Hehe, my wife used to have a special profession, you know. She retired because of an injury. Now her shoulder and thoracic spine hurt all over, I hadn't paid attention before. So I thought I should take better care of her, I was thinking of learning a few tricks from you here so I can go back and help her relax!"

Su Ziyang was surprised that Liu Xiaozhe had really gone against his nature and was actually learning this.

Su Ziyang was more than happy to do things that helped others achieve their goals.

Moreover, since Liu Xiaozhe's wife had sustained a hidden injury while protecting her country, Su Ziyang felt a deep respect for her.

So Su Ziyang very seriously taught Liu Xiaozhe a few simple massage techniques, and then gave Liu Xiaozhe a bottle of medicinal wine for sprains and bruises.

Liu Xiaozhe was very happy. After learning the technique, he went home and started giving his wife massages.

It was also due to Liu Xiaozhe's dedication that Su Ziyang's medicinal wine for sprains and bruises was so effective.

After Liu Xiaozhe's haphazard and chaotic treatment, Yaya's hidden injuries were actually about 50-60% healed.

When Liu Xiaozhe came to Su Ziyang's place again, he brought his wife Yaya and son with him.

Su Ziyang glanced at Yaya and saw that she was indeed a woman who was just as capable as any man; she was strikingly heroic at first glance.

"Doctor Su, hello! I've heard from Xiaozhe that he knows a legendary doctor who is also very upright. I've come today specifically to thank you! I heard that you have a very beautiful girlfriend, Doctor Su. I didn't bring you a gift this time, but I brought a necklace for your girlfriend! Please accept it!"

Yaya spoke gently and politely, took a small gift box from her bag, and placed it on Su Ziyang's table.

Su Ziyang tried to decline, but Liu Xiaozhe pressed him down. "Brother, if you consider me a friend, then accept. Hahaha! Let's go out for dinner together later! Let's invite Brother Xie Dong too."

After getting off work, Liu Xiaozhe contacted Xie Dong, and then the group called out the busy Fairy Li.

Liu Xiaozhe and his family of three, Su Ziyang and his partner, and Xie Dong alone—the group found a Shandong cuisine restaurant and sat down.

"Doctor Su, please take out the necklace you gave your sister and put it on her. See if it looks good!"

Yaya urged Su Ziyang to put the necklace on Fairy Li, because Fairy Li was so beautiful that she looked good in anything.

Everyone showered Fairy Li with praise.

After the dishes were served, Fairy Li took a bite of the braised pork intestines and said, "Sigh, this dish is a bit too hot!"

Unfortunately, this question annoyed the waiter who was serving the food, "Hello. Do you have any comments on this dish?"

"Oh! I think the heat on your dish is a little too high!"

After being trained by Liuzi, Fairy Li, though not a professional chef, has mastered the Shandong dishes she frequently makes to a level that is absolutely at the master level.

"Okay. We'll report this to our head chef!"

After the waiter left.

All eyes were on Fairy Li. Yaya, who was closest to Fairy Li, said, "Little sister, you know about this dish? I've heard that Shandong cuisine is a rather sophisticated style of cooking."

"I know a little. But not really, I just had a professional teacher teach me a bit."

Fairy Li was very humble. Seeing Fairy Li humility, Yaya knew that Fairy Li must have some skill in this area, so Yaya quickly said, "I'll definitely learn from you when I have time to improve my cooking skills."

"Haha. Okay. Let's research delicious food together!"

When it comes to food, Fairy Li immediately pursues the ultimate.

The group was chatting happily when the door suddenly opened, revealing a large, fat man in the middle, whose attire clearly identified him as the head chef.

You're saying my dish was overcooked?

The head chef seems a little upset.

"Ah! I told you, next time you do it, just don't overdo it. This won't do!"

Fairy Li almost subconsciously pointed out several flaws in the dish.

The chef became even more displeased upon hearing this, frowning and remaining silent.

"Oh, that's not what I meant. This food is edible, don't be upset. I know the chef gets upset if I say the food isn't good. Just get back to work and don't stay here upset."

Everyone was speechless after hearing what Fairy Li said.

The three grown men, Su Ziyang Liu Xiaozhe, exchanged glances and all lowered their heads to chuckle, while Yaya, holding the child, couldn't help but smile.

The cook was speechless for a moment, then nodded after standing there for a while. "Okay!"

Then he turned around and left.

After about half an hour of eating, the chef himself brought out a dish of braised pork intestines.

However, this time the chef's attitude did a complete 180-degree turn. He smiled and said to Fairy Li, "You are truly my master! This time I used a slightly lower flame. The flavor is indeed much better, almost as good as my master's. I always felt my dish was lacking something. I never imagined it was the heat! Thank you for your guidance. I'll give you a few more dishes later!"

Only after the chef pulled this stunt did these people realize that this Fairy Li truly knew how to cook.

When someone offered her food, Fairy Li accepted it without hesitation or politeness.

After serving the dishes, the chef didn't forget to tell Fairy Li Fairy Li fix any more flaws so he could make some improvements.

Fairy Li said that all the other dishes were very good, which made the head chef extremely happy.
