The gossip stopped. After watching the inside for a while, Zhou Jiexi walked out with Xiao Aite, wearing a hard hat on her head, a little uncomfortable. He really didn't like the feeling of wearing a helmet. In his previous life, he had worked on the construction site, and he was exposed to soil, cement, steel, dust, and the hot sun every day.

That feeling is really too bad, he has had enough after experiencing it once, and he has not yet grasped the feeling of winter. Now when he was wearing a helmet, it reminded him of this memory, which made him uncomfortable.

"Mr. Zhou, I will let them try to be as fast as possible. These people are not bad, at least they are willing to work overtime. Unlike my engineering team, they will leave when they arrive. It's really troublesome!" Those who worked overtime couldn't help complaining to those who used to follow them.

Jessie Chou glanced at him: "I'm satisfied with this level. It seems that you don't know that our great migrant workers are so powerful. What's the matter of adding a few hours of shifts? Two shifts a day. It can be done in 24 hours. Don’t do the project too fast. The money I paid is much cheaper than yours!"

"If I weren't that dark, I still need you mob! Really!" Jiexi Chou thought to himself that his previous life had exploited the so-called capitalism to be miserable enough. In this life, he can finally be able to. It's a try to exploit people in these capitalist countries! "It feels good!"

Jessie Chou followed back to the small greenhouse, and the old lady inside was very satisfied with it after seeing it all. The next step is to go to the storage greenhouse in the city and get some plants back. But before this, the old lady decided to plant some seeds first.

After walking around Jesse Chou’s farm for a while, she found that the soil in the vegetable area and the fruit garden was very fertile, so she dug a lot from there, and added some other organic fertilizers to mix it up. , Can now be shipped in for cultivation.

So after lunch in the afternoon, Jessie Zhou asked Atwood to find someone to do this. As for how much to pay is a matter, then just ask the accountant to check out. With his current wealth, he really doesn’t have to do it himself. When the old lady got it back, she asked Atwood to find someone for help. People are not stupid. You have to do everything yourself, and you don’t need to do it yourself. clearly.

Speaking of speaking, when Jessie Chou saw Atwood after coming back, she suddenly felt a little weird. This old man was a bit too courteous to his master recently. Is there still a boss like yourself in this eye! This old man is supervising the work of the cowboys, and one by one, he uses the cart to carry the dirt in.

The people in it sorted out one by one. The planting field is multi-layered. Because the height is enough, it is not only good to plant a little underground, but also two layers on the top. When it is difficult, the principle of optical refraction is used to ensure that they can get light. For cooperative use.

"This old guy seems to have a wife, isn't he interested in the master? It's not right, the master looks quite young, but he is also much older than that of the old man. This old man seems to be only over fifty right now!"

Jessie Chou watched that the master was also here, so she was not too lazy, so she followed over to supervise it. In fact, he is holding a piece of grass and teasing Saiya behind him. Sometimes he talked love words with Nikki. Nikki thought that she was very interested in the botanical medicine the old lady said, which was actually unacceptable before in the United States.

The United States is a country of immigrants, with immigrants from all countries and ethnicities, and its religious beliefs, social and cultural backgrounds, and value orientations are extremely complex, and of all kinds. However, the government and society have always adopted a tolerant attitude to this, without intervention, thus forming a unique and diverse society.

What is extremely disproportionate to this is that the government and medical circles have always adopted a wrong attitude of rejection of phytotherapy. To put it bluntly, we just don’t recognize you as Chinese medicine, witch doctor, or spiritual doctor, and so on. All we recognize are Western medicine.

Western medicine is the mainstream medicine. Most state legislation stipulates that only Western medicine can legally practice medicine. All other therapies are illegal and no medical license is issued. Only in areas where ethnic minorities live in a relatively concentrated area (such as California), will the Internet be opened for special approval. This can be regarded as the so-called adaptation to local conditions!

Moreover, the hospitals in the United States only provide Western medicine services. The insurance company only covers applicants who have been treated by Western medicine and who use Western medicine. No claims and reimbursements will be made for the costs of other treatments.

There are also pharmacies that only dispense western medicines, not botanicals. The medical school and the school of pharmacy only teach western medicine and western medicine courses, and never involve other therapies and botanicals. From this point of view, medical education in the United States is extremely advanced, yet very closed and conservative. It is inevitable that there is still a dominance in the heart of a family. This kind of policies and practices that reject aliens and dominate Western mainstream medicine is really hard to imagine for the most culturally diverse country in the world. It wasn't until nearly 2000 after the founding of the country that it changed from 1970.

After nearly 20 years of gestation and slow quantitative changes, astonishing changes occurred in the 1990s. According to a sample survey conducted by Harvard Medical School and Boston-Israel Beth General Hospital.

The number of people using other therapies has skyrocketed. In 1990, the use of alternative therapies accounted for about 33.8% of the adult population (60 million people); in 1997, it surged to 42.1% (83 million people). That is, 4 out of 10 adults have used other therapies.

According to a survey conducted by the Stanford University School of Medicine in 1998, 40% of people who are dissatisfied with Western medical treatment choose alternative therapies. Even if they are very satisfied, 39% also use alternative therapies. The number of users in 1990 was 1.5 million, and in 1997 it increased sharply to 9.96 million, with 10.49 million visits. Many patients use western medicine together with other therapies. Among the Western medicine patients, 31.8% (26.39 million people) also used alternative therapies, and 61% (16 million people) did not consult their own doctors. In 1997, of the 83 million people mentioned above, 17 million took botanicals, and 3 million were over 65 years old. In 1997, American adults spent 21.2 billion US dollars on alternative therapies, of which botanicals were 5.1 billion US dollars.

U.S. citizens spend 27-344 billion U.S. dollars on alternative therapies at their own expense. The out-of-pocket cost of using Western medicine is 29.3 billion US dollars. The two have become equal.

The growing public enthusiasm for alternative therapies has forced 63 of the 135 medical schools in the United States to offer various alternative medicine courses one after another. These include the world's top universities such as Harvard, Yale, Johns Hopkins, Columbia, Stanford, and the University of California.

This general trend has also forced the American Medical Association (ama), which regarded alternative therapy as a fallacy in the past, to call on its 300,000 members to learn more about alternative therapy and learn its treatment techniques.

Later, individual insurance companies (California Western Life Insurance Company) have begun to agree to insurers to reimburse the expenses of botanicals, and other companies are also studying.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand the main factors that have contributed to this great transformation. The rise in the world, especially in the United States, to return to nature and the use of natural botanicals are completely in line with the ideas of hundreds of millions of people.

Although the chemically synthesized drugs of western medicine have special effects, they have high side effects and high prices. Some diseases cannot be cured with chemically synthesized drugs. In the elderly in the United States, a variety of common and frequently-occurring diseases frequently occur, and the use of botanicals has significant curative effects and small side effects, so it is very popular.

In addition, the new social fashion advocates: to live healthier, look younger, and live longer, prompting more and more people to pay attention to physical fitness and often take various vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other health care drugs.

Moreover, people gradually tend to self-medicate, rather than relying on doctors for treatment. The higher the level of education, the stronger this concept. Plant medicines are food supplements that can be purchased and taken freely, thus fully satisfying the requirements of the people for self-treatment.

Those congressmen are also very clever. The "Food Supplement Hygiene and Education Act" (dshea) passed in 1994 included botanicals, vitamins and minerals in the category of food supplements.

This law greatly restricts FDA's intervention in botanicals, provides the most powerful legislative guarantee for the rise of botanicals, and creates a good environment for great development.

A series of clinical trials on botanicals in Europe and the United States have successively proved that the curative effect of botanicals is conclusive, explained by scientific pharmacology, which has strengthened the confidence of the people.

50-60% of the people believe that botanical medicine is effective, and 70-80% believe that botanical medicine comes from nature, which is safer than chemical synthetic medicine and has fewer side effects.

Numerous propaganda reports in various media across the country have made the whole country start to discover and accept botanicals with the curiosity of "discovering the new world." Many people even regard it as a panacea.

There are many ills in the American medical system. Medical expenses have been rising year after year, and medical insurance costs have also risen. The people's financial burden is too high. In addition, Western medicine and synthetic drugs are not all-encompassing and cannot meet the needs of the people, prompting them to find new ways.

Don’t look at the United States as if it’s very powerful. The United States is so small that there are still 40 million people without medical insurance. These people see a doctor and take medicine is a big financial burden. For some common or mild diseases, taking botanicals according to their symptoms is the most economical choice.

Now that Nikki’s generation has a good impression of botanicals, even cosmetics advocates that they are botanicals and do not contain any pharmaceutical additives. It can be seen that women’s hearts are actually easy to choose.

Now Nikki suddenly discovered that the old lady still has this hand, and she also knew that the old lady is now more than 80 years old, but she looks healthy and graceful like her 50s!

Speaking of Jessie Chou, I really didn't realize the difference. Some hard-working elderly people in their 60s are about the same as those in their 80s, while those with maintenance are about the same as those in their 60s. The old lady is in her fifties.

"Ms. Yang, is this kind of grass really as magical as you said after it is planted?" Nikki looked at the old lady who was planting at this time, and fiddled with the seeds she gave, with an incredible face facing him. Said the old lady.

"Yes, this kind of plants can improve the skin and delay aging as long as they are mixed with some other medicines through a few special methods. However, there are some medicines that are not easy to get, even if you go to the market and spend a lot of money. Acquisitions are also very difficult to buy! But Jesse has it in his hand, and you will know if I have a copy at that time!" The old lady said kindly.

Her expression at this meeting was not as terrifying as Little Aite thought. The person was probably frightened, and she was still very imaginative. The more she thought about it, the more terrifying she felt. mysterious. I feel a little scared when I look at it. It seems that the students are a little uncomfortable when they see the teacher.

Nikki’s eyes lit up when she came here and saw Jessie Chou’s master. Every time she felt surprised, not only because she had an appearance that did not match her age, but also because of the magical chef. art. The main thing is that the old lady is still a very good pharmacist and doctor. It is incredible to be able to help people see a doctor without the help of medical equipment, and to know the weight of an object only by hand.

Moreover, she still remembered that in the evening, the old man gave her a strange soup, saying that it was good for his health now. Zhou Jiexi also persuaded her by the side, and she only drank it. However, the result was gratifying. Her body, which was originally a little uncomfortable, was much better this morning, and her spirit was also much better. So now she is convinced of what the old lady said to improve her skin.

"Wow, that is definitely the best gift I have ever received when I came here, thank you Ms. Yang!"

"Well, you are welcome, as long as you like it, this is also fate!"

"Fate, I know that, it's just that everything happened by chance, and it's a good thing to encounter many of them together..." Nikki explained something quite meaningfully.

Over there, Atwood looked at Jessie Chou looking at him strangely, then turned to think about something, it was a little weird, ‘what the boss is going to tell me? But why didn't he ask me? ’

After pondering for a while, he felt that he still had to talk to Zhou Jiexi. After all, as his own boss, he had doubts that he had to help solve them, right? "Boss, do you have something to talk to me?"

Jessie Chou looked at Atwood, pondered for a moment, still wondering how to say this. Could it be that you tell him, don’t look at my master as young, in fact, his old man is over eighty years old, so don’t give her an idea! But is that appropriate? If people didn't mean it that way, this thing would be funny.

"Um, Atwood, I think you treat my master today..."
