After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 146: The secret investigation was reported, pollen allergy is difficult in spring

"Why haven't I seen it?"

"Some wealthy and educated families have it. I have seen it several times when I accompanied my father on home visits."

"Even if the old man uses this thing, can it still cure the disease?"

"I don't think I can hold on for much longer. This clinic is not easy."

The waiter brought over the teapot, poured hot water, and asked:

"My two guests, are you here to see a doctor?"

"That's not it."

"Alas, Jimin Hall is no longer doing well. The old master originally had several disciples, but they all left for Qizhou City within two years after they finished their studies. Lan County can't keep anyone. It's a pity that the old master is struggling alone. Although he has accepted new disciples, they are too young to be used."

"I see. Thank you, little brother." Lin Mingxuan clasped his fists and asked, "Is this the only clinic on this street?"

"Now there is only this family left. I heard that the doctor over there went to Murakami and rented out the house."

"Thank you, little brother."

The two drank their tea, took out ten copper coins, and were about to leave when the waiter stopped them:

"Sir, I'm sorry, but I don't have enough money."

"No way, this money can buy a pot of good tea in Luocheng County." Nanxing said.

"I'm sorry, it's not convenient to ship things into Lan County, so the price is a bit higher. Please understand."

Lin Mingxuan looked at the price list on the wall and added two cents.

The two of them walked for half an afternoon and visited six large and small clinics in Lan County. Three of them were of decent quality, with middle-aged doctors on duty. The others were not as good and could only treat simple illnesses. There was one that couldn't even dispense medicine.

Lin Mingxuan returned to the inn and recorded the situation one by one. At dinner time, he went to Shen Qichang's restaurant.

"Brother Shen, I came here to ask you, how many people are there in Lan County now, how many people live in the county town now, and how many people go in and out of the town every day?"

"There are about 10,000 people in the two blocks of the east and west districts of the county, and about 30,000 to 40,000 people in the villages of the county. I don't know exactly how many people come and go every day, but my small restaurant usually has 30 to 40 customers, and about 80 to 90 during festivals."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Shen." Lin Mingxuan nodded and asked, "Does Huimin Pharmacy distribute medicine to the people on weekdays?"

"We only dispense medicines in summer and winter when wind-heat and wind-cold syndromes are prevalent. We are closed on weekdays. Lan County is really short of good doctors now. Brother Lin, have you decided? Do you want to open a clinic?" Shen Qichang asked.

"Brother Shen, this matter is of great importance and I cannot decide it alone. I need to stay in Lan County for two more days to observe the situation. I need to go home and discuss everything with my father and brother."

"Okay. I really hope you can stay for a while." Shen Qichang looked pleading.

"Brother Shen, don't worry. Whether I can open a clinic or not, I will stay in Lan County for a while."

Although Lin Mingxuan couldn't bear it, he really couldn't make the decision at the moment.

On the second and third days, Lin Mingxuan and Nanxing appeared in various restaurants, rice shops, vegetable markets and the city gate in Lan County. They asked questions and wrote down information in a manual.

That evening, just as the two were about to go for dinner, the police arrived.

"Captain Ling, it's them. They're snooping around outside every day, sneaking around in the city. I don't know where these thieves come from." said a hunchbacked man.

Isn’t that man the rice shop clerk I saw during the day?

"You're talking nonsense!" Nan Xing was about to rush forward when he heard it.

"Nanxing, don't be impulsive!" Lin Mingxuan pulled him back.

"Who are you? What are you doing in Lan County? Why are you asking around?" asked Captain Ling.

Lin Mingxuan bowed and said:

"My Lords, my surname is Lin and I am from Luocheng County. I came to Luocheng County to open a clinic at the invitation of a good friend. But since I want to do business, I naturally have to understand the situation. Otherwise, it may be a loss-making business. I hope you can forgive me."

"Where are your road passes?"

"It's in the room right now. Please wait a moment, I'll go get it."

Lin Mingxuan bowed again and went upstairs. The bailiff beside Captain Ling followed him.

Captain Ling looked at the pass and clasped his fists.

"It was just a misunderstanding, please don't take it as an offense, Doctor Lin."

"I dare not. My Lord shoulders an important responsibility and must investigate any doubts."

"Li Rong, apologize quickly."

"I'm sorry, Doctor Lin. I was blind and mistook you two for the cunning thieves."

"Brother Li Rong, there is no need to do this. It's nothing, nothing."

The few of them exchanged polite words and said goodbye.

After such a commotion, the two of them had become the focus of the inn. Under the curious gazes of the people around them, the two of them quickly walked out.

"Young Master, can we stay in this place? I was almost wronged." Nan Xing asked.

Lin Mingxuan turned his head and asked, "What do you think?"

Nanxing thought for a moment and said:

"Although we were almost wrongly accused, if I were someone else, I would also think our whereabouts were suspicious and would report it to the police. The police were not unreasonable and even apologized, which should be considered good."

Lin Mingxuan nodded.

In Luocheng County, several people in Jishidiang were also busy. Since Lin Mingxuan was not there, Ding Xirui followed Master Lin to learn.

That day, a patient came to the clinic.

"A-choo--" A man's face turned red and he kept sneezing before he even entered the door.

"Doctor, please save me quickly." After saying that, he sneezed several times and his nose was running.

Akashi supported the man and walked in. The man kept covering his nose and rubbing his eyes from time to time, refusing to let go.

"Please let go first." said Mr. Lin.

The man took his hand away. His nose was redder than the rest of his body and was a little swollen.

"When did you start having these symptoms?"

"It happened suddenly this morning. A-choo—" the man quickly covered his face with a handkerchief.

"Where did you go today? Did you see any special flowers and trees?" Mr. Lin asked.

"I went to the Hanguan today, and it started right after I came out. I couldn't stop sneezing, my nose was running, and my eyes were itchy. But there weren't any flowers there?"

"Hanguan?" Ding Xirui frowned.

"Yes, I am going to copy the calligraphy of my predecessor today."

Since it is a gathering place for scholars and writers, there must be... Thinking of this, Ding Xirui quickly asked:

"Are there many pines and cypresses there?"

"Yes, the pines and cypresses there are growing very well." The man said, rubbing his eyes again.

Ding Xirui nodded and said:

"Father, cypress trees are tall, and their flowers are hidden in the bushes, making them hard to detect, but their pollen is very strong. This patient may have a special constitution and was accidentally exposed to pollen, which is why he has these symptoms."

"That's right, that should be the case." Mr. Lin nodded.

"How should it be treated? I really want to poke my face with a needle right now," the patient asked.

"You have to bear it first and don't rub it." Master Lin pulled his hand down.

During the consultation, Banxia had already fetched a basin of clean water from the back hall.

"Please wash your hands first."

Master Lin prescribed some medicines such as Astragalus, Atractylodes macrocephala and Saposhnikovia divaricata, and asked Mingshi to take them to the back hall to boil. Ding Xirui went to the storeroom, took out some towels to cover his mouth, and brought them to the main hall.

Mr. Lin took the handkerchief, handed it to the man, and said:

"You have a special constitution. From now on, you should stay away from cypress trees. When you go out in spring, wear a mouth-covering scarf and a veil. Do not touch your eyes, mouth, and nose with unclean hands to avoid causing other diseases."

"Thank you, doctor."

The cypress trees in Hanguan are in bloom. Is this the only person who has been affected? Ding Xirui frowned.
