Sun Li went to knead dough to make dumplings, and while she went to get the mixing bowl, Nianyang secretly added a few drops of the Spiritual Spring water into the water basin. Tuanzi said that the Spiritual Spring is powerful, even a few drops can achieve significant healing effects.
The Jiang Family had long lived on roughage and wild vegetables, their physical condition was worse than most people’s. She had to make sure their health improved significantly before their quality of life got better.
Perhaps it was because of the addition of Spiritual Spring water, the dumplings ended up being so delicious, it made you want to swallow your tongue.
"Wow, Mom, have you been possessed by the kitchen god today? The dumplings are so tasty!" Jiang Tian devoured them, calling out as she got burned but unwilling to stop even for a second.
"Wife, your cooking skills are really getting better and better, I don’t think even big restaurants can make them as well as you." Jiang Aiguo was also eating with oily lips.
"..." Sun Li tried a dumpling, her eyes widening in surprise and awe. She always followed the same routine for making dumplings, how did they turn out so delicious today?
Nianyang praised while eating and internally asked Tuanzi what was going on. The answer she got was that the Space Spiritual Spring Water not only enhanced physical health but also improved the taste of various ingredients, no wonder it smelled so fragrant!
Haha, from now on they can indulge!
The family happily finished the dumplings, Nianyang helped Sun Li and Jiang Tian wash the pots and bowls, then asked Sun Li, "Aunt, has your asthma been severe these past few days?"
"Same as always, as soon as I go to sleep, I can’t breathe, but if I take a sip of medicine and endure it, it passes!" Speaking of asthma, Sun Li looked distressed. The family’s hardship was all due to her illness; over the years, they owed a lot of money just on medicine, yet the illness hadn’t improved.
"Aunt, didn’t I say last time I would make a prescription to treat your asthma? I already worked it out these past few days, hurry to the kang and lie down, I’ll give you the first step of the treatment now." Nianyang said with a smile.
As soon as they heard Nianyang was going to treat Sun Li, Jiang Aiguo and Jiang Tian’s eyes lit up. At first, when they heard Nianyang would treat illness based on medical books, they didn’t quite believe it, thinking it was just fooling around. But after knowing Nianyang earned two hundred bucks just by treating illness, they now had confidence in Nianyang’s medical skills.
Sun Li was also curious about Nianyang’s treatment method, "Yangyang, how do you plan to treat me?"
Nianyang chuckled and turned to ask Jiang Aiguo, "Uncle, do we have cupping at home?"
Cupping, also known as glass fire cupping, involves burning a match inside a glass bottle. When the fire flickers, quickly covering the skin with the bottle, causing local congestion to achieve effects like relieving swelling and pain, dispelling wind and cold.
This method was often used in rural areas because farm work was exhausting, and people frequently had minor ailments. Clinics were too expensive, so they simply used cupping themselves, and generally, every household in the countryside was equipped with cupping.
"Why do you want cupping? Isn’t that used to dispel cold?" Jiang Aiguo said, a bit bewildered.
"Yangyang, you don’t want to cup my mom, do you?" Jiang Tian asked in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Aiguo quickly waved his hand, "Hey, that’s not good, it’s too dangerous. Many people in our village have done it wrong and got burned with blisters. Last year someone accidentally broke the glass bottle, and blood streamed. It’s not trendy to cup anymore."
Sun Li felt Jiang Aiguo was too blunt and worried Nianyang might feel uncomfortable, gently said, "Yangyang, my issue is asthma, cupping has no effect, don’t waste your effort, be careful not to burn yourself."
Nianyang chuckled, "Uncle, Aunt, Tian, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing, and I know cupping won’t help Aunt’s condition, so I’m going to do water cupping, there’s no risk involved."
"Water cupping?" The Jiang family looked puzzled, they hadn’t heard of such a method!
