Chapter 7: Chili Pepper and the Enhanced Life and Death Talisman
After resting for two days and adapting his body and the operation of internal energy, Xia Yu discovered another benefit of internal energy, which is that his senses have become stronger than before.
As long as someone is staring at him from behind, he will feel something.
He doesn't know how to describe this feeling, but you will know if someone is staring at you.
For example, now, Xia Yu was having lunch at a hot pot restaurant in Chinatown.
The cashier girl at the counter had been staring at her for a long time.
After Xia Yu finished eating, she stood up and looked at the girl's hurriedly avoiding eyes.
Xia Yu pretended not to know, went over to pay the bill, gave her a charming smile, and turned and left.
Xia Yu knew without looking back that the girl was still looking at him. He straightened his body unconsciously and added a BGM to himself silently. Did he feel like he was walking with the wind?
"Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia, come here!" Xia Yu's inner BGM was interrupted by a middle-aged man at the door of the pharmacy. A middle-aged man in a Tang suit, with a square face and a clean temperament was smiling and waving at Xia Yu.
"What's wrong, Uncle Wang!"
The man was the tenant of Xia Yu's house, who ran a pharmacy on the first floor.
It was his father who rented this place from Xia Yu's grandfather.
He had inherited his father's business and had lived and worked in Chinatown for two generations.
They had been neighbors for decades.
Xia Yu walked over and answered with a smile.
"I heard that you upstairs have started again.
I've heard from your grandfather a long time ago that you are better than him.
You are amazing.
You are so young but you can inherit your grandfather's mantle.
I followed your grandfather for half a year and didn't even recognize all the acupoints."
Uncle Wang praised him a lot.
"Uncle Wang, you are too kind. I have seen a lot since I was a child and I have learned a little bit. This is just to fool the foreigners. Uncle, if you have anything to say, just tell me!" Xia Yu said modestly.
"You kid, you are so humble in front of Uncle Wang.
It's like this, haven't you already started on this? If another customer comes, can you prescribe some oral Huxia patent medicine for him to take care of your uncle's business?"
Uncle Wang had something to ask for, and his smile became even sweeter.
Xia Yu understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.
Chinatown is a small society in itself, with all kinds of things in it, basically meeting all the needs of life.
However, in recent years, many young people have gone out to work, and they usually choose to go to outside hospitals for any major or minor illnesses.
The pharmacy business is not as good as in previous years.
Xia Yu's grandfather often recommended people to go to the pharmacy downstairs to buy some health-preserving and fire-removing Huxia medicine after recuperation.
They are definitely Huxia patent medicines made into pills and capsules.
Foreigners can't eat decoctions.
His grandfather's clients are all elites, mostly middle class, who don't understand Huxia medicine health preservation.
They are definitely stupid and have a lot of money, which brings a lot of business to the first floor.
His grandfather had just passed away before Xia Yu traveled through time some time ago, and he was embarrassed to ask downstairs.
In the past half month or so, he saw people occasionally coming to Xia Yu's place, and he said hello when he saw him today.
"Okay, uncle, I overlooked this matter. Don't worry, every time someone comes, I will prescribe a prescription and ask him to come to you to get some medicine." As his own tenant, he definitely had to take care of the business, so Xia Yu agreed immediately.
"Okay! Then uncle will wait to rely on you for food!" Uncle Wang smiled happily.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Xia Yu went upstairs to continue his practice of traditional Huxia medicine.
After watching a movie for the whole afternoon, it was almost five o'clock.
When Xia Yu thought that no one was there today, she received a call for an appointment.
It was a new customer who had never been here before and asked if he could come today.
Xia Yu saw that it was still early and agreed without hesitation.
After waiting for almost an hour, there was a knock on the door. Xia Yu opened the door and was delighted. It was another surprise. It seemed that this old Huxia doctor would have to work longer every day!
"Hello, is it you who made the appointment just now? What do you need?" Xia Yu asked the little hot pepper who was wearing a white business suit at the door. Yes, the one who came was Iron Man's future wife and current secretary - Pepper Potts, Little Hot Pepper!
"Hello, I'm looking for Doctor Xia, you're not the one, are you?" Little Lajiao asked a little confused.
"Then you should be talking about my grandfather. If you don't mind, can you come in and talk more?" Xia Yu said, making a gesture to invite him in.
Xiao La Jiao followed her into the room, and Xia Yu asked her to sit at the tea table. This has almost become Xia Yu's characteristic now: first make tea and chat, and then provide treatment according to needs.
Little Pepper looked around and said to Xia Yu, "Your place is very beautifully decorated and elegant. I like it very much, but excuse me, I'm here to see your grandfather, Doctor Xia."
"Thank you for your compliment. My grandfather passed away last month. If you are looking for Doctor Xia, I am the one now!"
Little Lajiao didn't have the idea of distrusting people just because they were young.
After all, she was already here.
She said, "I have a friend who came here for several toxin removal treatments.
She looks very good.
Her skin has improved a lot.
It's much better than using makeup.
You know, women can't refuse this.
I want to try it, too."
Xia Yu specially brewed a pot of black tea suitable for ladies.
Upon hearing this, she poured a cup in front of Xiao Lajiao and said, "I guess your friend didn't come here for beauty treatments.
This is a side effect.
We Huxia medicine practitioners pay attention to health preservation.
We take care of all aspects of the body from the inside out.
Naturally, the skin will be better than before."

Little Chili took a sip of the black tea politely, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Your tea is great! I drank Huxia tea once before, and I thought Huxia tea was bitter and hard to swallow."
Xia Yu was amused and said, "People who are not used to drinking coffee also think so. What do you think? If you don't mind, I need to know your situation in detail. Can I start with your work?"
As an old Huxia medicine practitioner, Xia Yu has a systematic technique.
The two chatted about Xiao Lajiao's life and work, eating and resting habits, etc., and Xia Yu roughly understood.
In fact, Xia Yu saw it at a glance.
Since the demand was for better skin, it was nothing more than detoxification and beautification, etc.
The first reason was to chat for a while to increase the feeling of the plot and characters, and the second was to make herself look more professional.
After a pretense, Xia Yu pointed out that Xiao Lajiao was constipated and had a minor problem with her cervical spine, which surprised Xiao Lajiao, who had never been exposed to Huxia medicine.
After all, the four methods of diagnosis and treatment in Western medicine are no different from those of a liar.
If it were not for the system arrangement, or his grandfather's decades-long reputation, he could only diagnose minor ailments such as fever and cold in Chinatown.
The treatment became much simpler afterwards.
With Xia Yu's deliberate flattery, she even used the Nine Yang Magical Skill she had just acquired during acupuncture, which helped open up some of the blocked meridians for Xiao Lajiao and cured some common minor ailments of office workers.
The effect could definitely not be seen immediately.
Even so, after the acupuncture, Xia Yu still felt relaxed and exclaimed that acupuncture was magical.
They agreed to come once a week.
Xia Yu left her mobile phone number in case she couldn't answer the phone.
Suddenly, she remembered Uncle Wang's instructions downstairs, and picked up a pen and paper to write four big Huxia characters: detoxification and beauty.
I believe Uncle Wang will understand what's going on.
After sending Pepper out, Xia Yu wiped the sweat off his head and thought to himself, I have spent so much energy to give you the best results, you must bring me the greatest reward, it would be best if I had the opportunity to meet Tony Stark.
Xia Yu actually understands that the system will arrange for him to become stronger step by step and join the plot, but who doesn't want Iron Man's battle suit? It's a man's dream equipment, and the more familiar he is with it, the better.
"Successfully helped the plot character to heal, rewarded 50 points, and the system draws a prize."
Xia Yu was surprised when the prompt sounded, because the score was higher than before.
Was it because of the increased effect of using internal force? Because the last time I treated Nick Fury, I only got 30 points, so I should see what the prize in the lottery is!
After seeing it, Xia Yu was delighted. This is so easy to use!
