After releasing the acupoints, the chefs and apprentices gradually regained their composure and sat up straight.
Not only did everyone stop vomiting blood, but their vomiting and diarrhea had also recovered. Even the blisters on their bodies had disappeared. Apart from feeling a bit weak, the itching and stinging sensation vanished completely.
“I feel better. I don’t feel uncomfortable at all!” One person exclaimed excitedly among the crowd.
When one person spoke, the rest of the people present also responded one by one. Everyone had a bright smile on their faces that couldn’t be dispelled. They looked at their companions beside them with extreme excitement, and they were so happy that they cried tears.
In the end, the Chef Steward was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He quickly walked off the bed and knelt respectfully to Su Qian. “Many thanks, Elder Su, for saving our lives.”
When the rest of the people present heard this, they came forward one by one and knelt respectfully before Su Qian. Without hesitation, they kowtowed Su Qian. “Many thanks, Elder Su, for saving our lives.”
These people had initially thought they were doomed, but unexpectedly, they had recovered!
To them, Su Qian was their savior. They willingly knelt before her to express their gratitude.
“No need for such formalities. Please, everyone, get up.” Su Qian raised her hand. After seeing that everyone had gotten up, she slowly walked to an empty seat at the side and sat down. “Don’t be in a hurry to express your gratitude. As a poison physician, I always expect compensation for my service. Since everyone’s poison has been cured, let’s discuss how to settle the payment.”
When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but be shocked.
Everyone in the martial arts world knew that the consultation fees of poison physicians were shockingly expensive, reaching exorbitant amounts with each intervention.
Despite this, many sought the aid of poison physicians with rare treasures, but the poison physicians weren’t always willing to accept, let alone small fries like them.
“Elder Su is right. The compensation is undoubtedly necessary.” The Chef Steward didn’t hesitate and took out two to three hundred taels of silver from under his blanket. “Elder Su, this is all my savings. If there’s still a shortfall, I’ll issue you an IOU. As for the others, they don’t earn much. I implore you to show mercy and include their medical expenses under my account. I’ll definitely repay you in installments in the future…”
“Elder Su, I’ll cover their medical expenses. Please tell me the amount,” Qing Zhu said seriously.
“Your paltry sum isn’t worth my Master’s glance.” Xiao Yan indifferently opened his mouth. The words he spoke were extremely sharp and ruthless.
Everyone’s faces were reddened, feeling at a loss.
Xiao Yan’s words were accurate. Considering Su Qian’s identity as Du Qi, the poison physician, who was immensely wealthy, their money meant nothing to her.
As they pondered this, the crowd became even more bewildered.
“I don’t want money.” Su Qian assured them as she noticed their increasing tension. She smiled and added, “Don’t worry. I don’t need anything else from you all. Just answer a few questions for me, and we’ll call it even.”
“But, isn’t your consultation fees always been very high?” The Chef Steward asked uneasily.
“The consultation fee depends on my mood. I do like money, but I only fancy the money of the wealthy, not the hard-earned money of the commoners.” Su Qian smiled seductively. “Now, can you answer my questions?”
“Of course, Elder Su, in your mercy, we will undoubtedly tell you everything we know.” Everyone, including the Chef Steward, said with determination..
