Day four, at Li Daoqing Clinic.
Day five, at Zhang Yuanming Clinic.
Day six…
Lu Jiu drifted around the three clinics on Garden Street like this every day.
Eventually, he irritated the municipal authorities. When they came, they didn't even issue a warning and just loaded up all his tables and chairs, inviting him to have tea at their office.
Since he was occupying the road but not doing business, the authorities couldn't really do anything. After they released him, Lu Jiu came back the next day with nothing but himself, standing outside Li Daoqing Clinic.
This time, he had no table or chair, just a copy of the "Complete Collection of Prescriptions and Proofs" tucked under his arm, yet people still crowded around him.
This time, people learned to be smart; they stood on the steps instead of blocking the road. Some even went inside Li Daoqing's clinic, but not to see Li Daoqing—they just wanted a place where they could hear Lu Jiu speak.
