Sophia glanced at the queue of people and nodded, saying, “You can go have some breakfast and come back later; I’ll be starting a bit late today.”
She took out a pot and began preparing medicinal paste.
Sophia ground these ingredients finely, added some herbs, and then included rose powder to mask the herbal taste. Finally, she tasted it to ensure it was just right before removing it from the pot.
Sophia made an entire pot of Paste. Once it was done, she cut it into small pieces and sealed them in bags. This way, they could be eaten like snacks—one piece at a time as needed. The paste wouldn’t spoil if left uneaten and was particularly beneficial for women’s health when consumed over time.
The freshly made Paste was delicious. She ate one piece, which immediately drew the attention of the on looking patients, making their mouths water.
“It smells so good! I can smell the walnut aroma.”
“The aroma is amazing. Dr. Smith, are you selling this? I want to buy some.”
“I want some, too!”
Sophia chuckled. She had used premium ingredigents, which was expensive. Plus, her recipe included a proprietary blend of herbs, making it much more valuable than the products available in the market.
“I’m not selling it. I’m sharing it with friends.”
“Ah…” People couldn’t help feeling disappointed. It was their first time encountering something that wasn’t for sale even if they offered money. A few female patients, noticing that Sophia had added a handful of herbal powders, asked, “Dr. Smith, does this Paste really have good effects?”
Sophia smiled and nodded. “It’s indeed very effective. The key lies in my secret herbal formula. It helps regulate the female body. After one or two months of consumption, you’ll notice your body warming up, you won’t feel cold in winter, and issues like irregular periods and insomnia will also improve.”
Hearing this, the women’s eyes lit up.
They were long-term patients—SVIP! Even after being cured, they would come back for follow-ups. They trusted Sophia’s character, especially after hearing that she had cured Directors grandson of polio. Word of her skills spread quickly in the area. Even in such a remote place, people scrambled to get a slot every day, making her far more famous than she realized.
One of Sophia’s VIP patients, had experienced prolonged urinary incontinence after childbirth. The baby’s large head caused complications during delivery, and at the time, there was no pelvic floor rehabilitation available. She suffered for years, embarrassed by leaks even when sneezing. Doctors told her there was no cure, and she could only alleviate it through exercises.
Upon hearing about Sophia’s exceptional medical skills, She waited in line for consultations. After just half a month of treatment, her incontinence was cured. She began treating Sophia as a miracle doctor.
“Dr. Smith, please sell me a little bit! I saw you used high-quality products. I don’t mind paying more because cheap ones outside don’t work. If I’m spending money, I want it to be effective!”
“Yes, Dr. Smith, please sell some to us too!”
“If it really works, you could even find someone to mass-produce it, and we’d all buy it!”
Hearing this, Sophia suddenly realized she had stumbled upon a business opportunity.
She had never expected so much interest in her Paste. In fact, the recipe was something she had developed in her previous life. It was particularly beneficial for women’s health. What made her paste unique was her expertise as a doctor, not as a chef. By adding medicinal herbs, the paste not only provided the nutrients from other ingredients but also enhanced health with its medicinal effects. Her formula was gentle and suitable for all body types.
If there was such demand, why not produce it for sale?
With this thought, Sophia smiled and nodded. “How about this? I’ll give some to each of you for free. If it works for you, you can come back and buy it later. I might start selling the Paste in the future.”
“Great!”
“But the price might be a bit high.”
“Dr. Smith, even if it’s expensive, people will buy it. After all, you use quality ingredients. These days, who cares about spending a bit more? Investing in health and avoiding hospital visits is actually saving money!”
Sophia smiled and nodded.
—
The woman received special treatment and got a few extra pieces of the Paste.
Because it was made by Dr. Smith, she ate it diligently. For the first three days, she didn’t notice much effect.
But on the fourth day, she woke up, put on a long T-shirt, and went outside. Her husband gave her a strange look.
“Aren’t you cold wearing just that? It’s gotten colder today.”
“Cold? Really? I feel warm.”
“Warm? Are you sure you’re not mixing up hot and cold?” her husband joked.
She paused and realized how much she had changed recently. She used to be afraid of the cold, suffered from dreams at night, and had urinary leaks. But after just a few days of eating the Paste, her body had undergone subtle changes. She no longer had cold hands and feet, slept deeply at night, and woke up feeling refreshed. Even her digestion felt better, and the incontinence was gone.
But how was this possible? She had only eaten it for a few days! Could it really work that well?
“I’m really not cold! Feel my hands if you don’t believe me.”
Her husband touched her hand and was surprised. “Wow, they’re warm! What’s going on? Just a few days ago, you kept complaining about cold hands and stomach cramps.”
“I don’t know! I’ve just been eating Dr. Smith’s Paste!”
“Paste? Can it really be that amazing?”
“Yes!” For the first time, she truly appreciated Dr. Smith’s extraordinary skills. “I need to go get more from Dr. Smith right away!”
While Sophia was busy attending to patients, she burst into the room, excitedly grabbing her arm.
“Dr. Smith, do you have more Paste? I want to buy it!”
Her exclamation stunned the people around her. “Did it work for you?”
“I remember you just started eating it a few days ago.”
“Yes, did it really show effects so quickly?”
Nobody doubted her claims. They were all regular patients and knew each other well. Everyone genuinely suffered from various ailments—no one could fake such conditions.
