...
Liu Menglong smiled faintly, "Uncle, you seem to know the market well! Have you been to Hong Kong before?"
"I've been to too many places." The middle-aged man touched his nearly bald head and sighed, "It's just that when I was young, I didn't know how to restrain myself, which led to premature aging. Today, I came here specifically to get my kidneys treated!"
Liu Menglong looked at the middle-aged man's complexion and smiled slightly, "Uncle, the best way to treat kidney problems is through regular作息 and dietary supplements. Massage can only alleviate the condition. From your complexion, it looks like not only are your kidneys in trouble, but your prostate is also problematic. If you don't start restraining yourself, you'll be done for in a few years."
"How do you know I have a prostate problem?" The middle-aged man was very surprised.
"I can tell from your complexion," Liu Menglong smiled faintly, "You are weak, sweat a lot, and feel cold. You have frequent and urgent urination, and you've even wet the bed in the past few days, right?"
The middle-aged man's face changed abruptly, "How do you know!?"
"I told you, I can tell from your complexion," Liu Menglong's confident smile seemed godlike to the middle-aged man, giving him a huge psychological pressure.
Apart from the middle-aged man, everyone, including the blind massage therapist, was shocked, especially the little girl, whose eyes sparkled like she was looking at a celebrity.
"Brother," the middle-aged man, who could be flexible, called out, "Since you can tell, can you help me with the treatment?"
"Treatment is no problem, but to get to the root of it, you need to focus on regular作息 and diet. You shouldn't smoke, and you should drink less alcohol. You can drink some health wine. I'm not an expert in this area, so I can only give you a general suggestion. You should go to the hospital for a full physical examination and see what the doctor says," Liu Menglong said.
The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, "Alright, I'll go for a checkup later. Can you help me adjust now?"
"That's up to the boss," Liu Menglong glanced at the blind massage therapist and smiled, "Master, can I come in?"
The blind massage therapist hesitated for a moment and said, "Not in a hurry. First, give me a full-body massage, and I'll see how your skills are."
Indeed, this was a very principled old therapist. Liu Menglong lightly nodded, "Alright, you go ahead."
The blind massage therapist had already been massaging for over twenty minutes. A few minutes later, he finished the last part and patted the guest's waist, "Alright, you can get up now!"
The guest sat up from the massage bed, moved around a bit, and gave a thumbs up, "Master, your skills are great. I feel much better now."
The little girl smiled, "Of course, my grandfather's skills are well-recognized. Thank you, fifty yuan."
The guest smiled and took out a hundred yuan, "Keep the change, the rest is a tip."
"Thank you, Uncle," the little girl was very happy; fifty yuan was enough for her to buy a bag from a street stall.
The blind massage therapist wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Please wait a moment, young man, come over here!"
"Alright," Liu Menglong walked over, and the blind massage therapist had already taken off his shoes and lay on the massage bed, "Give me a full-body massage. My waist has been a bit sore lately, help me adjust it."
"Sure," Liu Menglong took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and placed his hands on the old therapist's shoulders, kneading them. Through pressing acupoints, he quickly understood the old therapist's current physical condition. His shoulders were fine, and his neck had no major issues. Moving down, his lower back and back had some wear and tear. Being an older man who always stood to give massages, it was normal for him to have these problems. By controlling the acupoints, he relaxed the muscles in the lower back and back, and the old therapist's face showed signs of comfort.
After adjusting the lower back, his hands continued down to the thighs, which were still relatively firm. Moving further down, the calves had no major issues. Pressing a few acupoints on the soles and toes, he found that the old therapist's body was well-maintained, with healthy internal organs and no major gastrointestinal problems, though there was a slight constipation.
Turning around, he pressed a few acupoints on the ankles and knees. The Achilles tendon was fine, but there was a bit of wear on the knees, which did not affect standing but slightly impacted walking. It seemed the old therapist needed to rest his legs.
Finally, he placed his hands on the old therapist's head, continuously rubbing and pressing various acupoints, focusing on those that promote sleep. When Liu Menglong finished the massage, the old therapist let out a light snore and fell asleep.
"Grandpa? Is this...?" The little girl was incredulous when she saw the old therapist fall asleep, and the other guests were also amazed, not expecting the young man's massage skills to be so good that even an expert like the old therapist fell asleep.
Liu Menglong smiled faintly, "Don't worry, the old man gives massages all day and stands for long periods, so his legs and back are a bit worn out. I adjusted him, let him sleep. When he wakes up, most of his fatigue will be relieved."
The little girl sighed with relief and then asked, "How long will grandpa sleep?"
"Two hours," Liu Menglong looked at his watch, "It's 10 now, he'll wake up before 12."
"Even know how long he'll sleep? Young man, you're not just making this up, are you!" The guest who had been massaged by the old therapist was skeptical.
"Wait until 12, and you'll see," Liu Menglong shrugged and then said to the little girl, "The master is sleeping, we can't operate for these two hours. Is that okay?"
"It's not okay! It's a big deal," the little girl said anxiously, "Two hours is two hundred yuan!"
"Uh..."
"I don't care, now you have two choices," the little girl's eyes twinkled, "One, you compensate for the two hundred yuan loss."
Liu Menglong was speechless, "What's the second choice?"
"The second choice..." the little girl smiled, "You massage for these two hours. Since grandpa didn't say anything during the massage, it means he recognized your skills. From now on, you're an employee here, start working now!"
"Right, right, right!" The middle-aged man was waiting for this, "Brother, start treating me now! You don't know how it feels for a man in his forties to wet the bed; I almost wanted to die."
"Take it easy," Liu Menglong smiled faintly, "Lie down, I'll treat you." He paused, "By the way, organ treatment costs extra, but I guarantee a refund if it doesn't work."
"Alright, as long as you can treat me, even a thousand yuan is fine." It seemed the middle-aged man was a big spender, willing to throw a thousand yuan.
"A thousand yuan is a bit cheap, but since you're my first official customer, a thousand it is!" Liu Menglong's demand for a thousand yuan left the little girl, who thought she was getting a great deal, speechless.
Feeling Liu Menglong's strong confidence, the middle-aged man still believed him. Having traveled widely and seen many people, he knew that capable people often had a sense of pride and peculiar temperaments. In his view, Liu Menglong was relatively mild, provided he could treat him well. If not, he would be a skilled fraudster, directly sent to the police station.
The middle-aged man lay on the bed, and the little girl and the other guests watched, curious to see what Liu Menglong could do to justify asking for a thousand yuan.
Liu Menglong's confidence came from his初级 acupoint master skills, which could relax the body and mind and alleviate pain through acupoint stimulation, equivalent to a top massage therapist. If a top massage therapist couldn't treat kidney deficiency and prostate issues, they might as well go home and sell buns.
Everyone has acupoints, and the only difference is that some people's acupoints may vary slightly. Liu Menglong first needed to confirm if the middle-aged man's acupoints were the same as a normal person's. So, he started by touching the middle-aged man's body, leaving everyone puzzled, and even the middle-aged man suspected Liu Menglong had a tendency to take advantage of him.
Liu Menglong ignored everyone's thoughts. After touching the middle-aged man's body, he confirmed that his acupoints were no different from a normal person's, and he felt slightly relieved. He turned to the little girl and said, "Go get a basin of hot water and wash this uncle's feet."
"Alright!" The store offered foot therapy, and washing guests' feet was part of the little girl's job. She skillfully brought a basin of hot water, washed the middle-aged man's feet, and Liu Menglong placed a hot towel on his feet, applying slight pressure on the acupoints related to the kidneys and using spiral finger pressure to increase heat, consuming 1 point of true qi, which flowed into the middle-aged man's body.
