Chinese Medicine: Starting with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 247: Change of Attitude

Li Momo personally experienced the miraculous effects of Dragon Bone Powder.

Her attitude toward it took a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.

The disdain and scorn she’d felt before had vanished completely, replaced by utter shock and curiosity.

She picked up the "Dragon Bone Powder," turning it over and over in her hands. "Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory... Since when could our country make a medicine this incredible? Its effects are even better than Japan’s Dragon Horn Powder!"

Gu Xiaoya watched her "eating her words" expression, a slight smile playing on her lips.

She also tore open a packet of "Dragon Bone Powder" and took it.

She felt the same incredible relief.

Her throat immediately felt less irritated.

"Momo, I wasn’t wrong, was I? Is it much better now?" Gu Xiaoya asked with a smile.

"Much better? It’s downright divine!" Li Momo was completely won over by the wondrous effects of "Dragon Bone Powder."

She hopped off the bed, her previous sickly demeanor swept away, and she was back to her lively, active self.

She raised her phone, snapped several close-ups of the "Dragon Bone Powder" box, and then eagerly posted to her social media, adding some wildly exaggerated text:

Fam! You guys won’t believe this! Came to Japan for a trip and caught a cold, my throat hurts like I’m swallowing razor blades!

Then my bestie recommended a divine medicine called ’Dragon Bone Powder’!

ATTENTION!

It’s Dragon BONE!

Not Dragon HORN!

The effects are out of this world!

It dissolves the moment it hits your mouth, stops the pain in three minutes, and reduces swelling in ten!

It works a hundred times better than that what’s-it-called Dragon Horn Powder from Japan!

Highly recommend!

You have to try it to believe it!

P.S. Don’t ask me where I bought it. The answer is Matsumoto Pharmacy in Japan, but believe it or not, it’s Made in China!

The pride of our domestic products! So badass!

As soon as she sent the post, it immediately sparked the curiosity of many of her friends.

Everyone started leaving comments.

"Momo, you’re not kidding, are you? Buying a domestic medicine in Japan? And hyping it up like it’s some miracle cure? Did you get scammed by a personal shopper?"

"For real? I just got back from Japan. How come I’ve never seen this ’Dragon Bone Powder’?"

"Waiting for Momo to get back home and find out this medicine only costs ten yuan a box, hahaha!"

Facing her friends’ doubts, Li Momo argued her case, replying confidently in the comments: "Believe it or not! I experienced it myself! It really is that amazing! Just you wait. If I can buy it when I get back, I’ll mail each of you a box and open your eyes!"

Among the many comments, one caught Li Momo’s attention.

A friend of hers, Lin Xiaoyu, wrote: [Momo, the weather’s gotten cold recently, and my throat’s been bothering me too. I was just about to go see a doctor. This ’Dragon Bone Powder’ you mentioned, can you buy it back home?]

Seeing her comment, Li Momo immediately replied: [I’m not sure if it’s sold back home either. Why don’t you... try asking at a nearby pharmacy?]

...

「Feng City, Kangning Pharmacy.」

Lin Xiaoyu walked into the pharmacy, wearing a mask.

She had just been to two other pharmacies but couldn’t find the "Dragon Bone Powder" Li Momo had mentioned.

This was the last pharmacy near her home. If they didn’t have it, she was going to give up.

"Excuse me, do you carry a medicine called ’Dragon Bone Powder’?"

Her voice was a little hoarse.

The pharmacy owner, Zhang Zhigang, heard her and immediately broke into a smile.

"Miss, you’ve come to the right place!"

He pulled out a whole row of beautifully packaged "Dragon Bone Powder" from behind the counter and began to enthusiastically introduce it. "This is our hottest product right now! We just got a shipment from Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory a few days ago, and the results are incredible! A lot of customers are repeat buyers who come in asking for it by name."

Just as he was speaking, Lin Xiaoyu coughed twice.

Zhang Zhigang recommended it even more strongly: "You have a cough? Then this is perfect for you! Don’t mind that it’s a bit expensive; it’s absolutely worth the price! Many people say its effects are even better than that Dragon Horn Powder from Japan!"

"You really have it!" Lin Xiaoyu was overjoyed and quickly bought a box.

She couldn’t wait, tearing open a packet and taking it right there in the pharmacy.

Almost instantly, a cool, soothing sensation spread from the tip of her tongue throughout her entire throat.

The searing, burning pain truly subsided as if by magic.

’This is truly amazing!’

Lin Xiaoyu felt the long-lost comfort in her throat, her heart pounding with shock.

As a professional in the media, she immediately and keenly realized that there was definitely a newsworthy story here worth digging into.

A domestic medicine with effects that could rival or even surpass a star product from Japan was, in itself, a highly sensational topic.

Lin Xiaoyu chatted a bit more with the pharmacy owner.

When she learned that this "Dragon Bone Powder" was indeed produced by Feng City’s local "Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory," and that it had recently burst onto the market, poised to replace Japan’s Dragon Horn Powder, a bold interview plan was already forming in her mind.

’I’m going to do a special feature report!’

The theme of the report would be "The Rise of Domestic Brands—The Miraculous Local Medicines We’ve Overlooked."

In recent years, patriotic themes had become popular.

Sales for their magazine, *Urban Life*, had been poor for the last few issues.

The articles lacked anything sensational.

’If I can use this story to show our readers that Dragon Country’s medicines are no worse than foreign ones! So many people blindly follow trends, rushing to Japan and overseas to snap up so-called "divine medicines," not realizing that there are many hidden gems with miraculous effects right under our noses. This could absolutely blow up.’

No sooner said than done.

Lin Xiaoyu immediately contacted Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory and requested an exclusive interview.

When Ding Kaifang heard that *Urban Life* magazine wanted to do a free special feature on Dragon Bone Powder, he was overjoyed.

He immediately green-lit the idea and agreed to be interviewed personally.

「One day later. Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory, General Manager’s Office.」

Lin Xiaoyu met with Ding Kaifang.

During the interview, Ding Kaifang gave a detailed introduction to the R&D background of "Dragon Bone Powder," its core advantages, and its future market plans.

He emphatically stressed that the reason "Dragon Bone Powder" had such miraculous effects was that they spared no expense, using extremely precious, genuine "Dragon Bone" as the core ingredient.

When Lin Xiaoyu asked about the developer of this magical formula, Ding Kaifang unhesitatingly gave the credit to Li Xu.

"The success that Ding’s Pharmaceutical Factory enjoys today, our ability to launch hit products like ’Dragon Bone Powder’ and ’Watermelon Frost,’ is all thanks to one person." Ding Kaifang’s tone was filled with gratitude. "He is the true developer of this ’Dragon Bone Powder,’ and a partner of our factory—Li Xu, Doctor Li."

"Li Xu?!"

Lin Xiaoyu froze when she heard the name. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

She was all too familiar with that name!

Just a short while ago, she had accidentally sprained her back.

It was Li Xu who had fixed it with a massage.

She also remembered that during the Dragon Boat Festival, the mugwort sachets that Li Xu had personally made—which could repel mosquitoes and calm the nerves—were highly sought after in her circle of friends, with everyone wanting one.
