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

Ding Xirui was startled.

In the kitchen, a man with a silly expression came out. He looked to be in his twenties. He was holding a cold pancake in his hand and was putting it into his mouth.

Mrs. Li was relieved when she saw him. "I was so scared. There's someone home."

"Don't be afraid, he is Mr. Zhang's son, named Zhang Cong, but the villagers call him 'Silly'. It seems that he took the wrong medicine when he was a child and became stupid. Alas! He just couldn't speak originally, but his brain was bright..." Mrs. Li sighed and explained.

"I see." Ding Xirui nodded silently. Did he take the wrong medicine? She sighed in her heart that the medicine had made him like this.

"Is your father at home?" Mrs. Li walked towards the man named "Zhang Cong" and gestured to imitate the appearance of Mr. Zhang.

Zhang Cong ignored her.

Mrs. Li turned around and said, "Mr. Zhang is not at home. Why don't we go back first?"

Ding Xirui did not respond immediately. She looked around and saw that the east side of the yard was quite tidy with some vegetables planted there, but the west side was a mess and did not look like the same home at all.

Zhang Cong walked to the door of the main house, sat down, and continued to gnaw on the cold pancake, completely ignoring the people in front of him.

"Okay, let's go back first." The few of them turned around and just as they walked out the door, they almost bumped into a man carrying firewood.

"Uncle Zhang!" Mrs. Li shouted.

"Li Wang's wife, they are..." Old Man Zhang looked at Ding Xirui and Xiaoqiang and asked.

"They are doctors from the county, old man. They heard that you were sick a while ago and felt nauseous..."

Mr. Zhang's expression immediately changed. "Doctor? What a bullshit doctor! I don't welcome you in my home."

"Uncle Zhang..." Mrs. Li was speechless for a moment.

"What bad luck!" Mr. Zhang entered the yard and wanted to close the door immediately, but one of the doors was broken and he couldn't close it. He simply swung the door hard, and the half door drooped, shook, and creaked.

Ding Xirui and the other two stood at the door, looking at each other.

"Sister, you can't blame the old man. Because of his son's matter, his wife ran away and their family broke up. Besides, there are not many doctors here and they can't cure any diseases. He has never been in a good mood towards doctors." Mrs. Li patted Ding Xirui's hand.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay." Ding Xirui smiled slightly and understood in his heart.

"Doctor Ding, should I continue knocking on the door?" Xiaoqiang asked.

"Not today, let's go back."

Xiaoqiang was worried and looked at the yard again.

"Xiao Qiang, I just looked at Mr. Zhang's face. He looked flushed, and he had strength to speak and act. The acute illness should have passed. Let's come again when we have a chance." Ding Xirui explained.

"Okay." Xiaoqiang nodded.

Mrs. Li was still a little embarrassed. "I'll find a chance for my husband to talk to Mr. Zhang again. There are only two people in his family now. For the sake of his son, he should also take care of his own health."

"Yes."

The few of them started walking back while talking. After the sun disappeared into the clouds, it became even cooler. People came home from the fields one after another. Seeing Mrs. Li bringing a stranger, they greeted her. Along the way, Ding Xirui became a familiar face in the village.

"Sister-in-law, how do you usually eat?"

"Eat porridge and whatever vegetables are available."

"Can I be full by eating porridge?" Xiaoqiang asked.

The eldest sister-in-law shook her head. "Who doesn't want to eat white rice every meal? But you have to eat it sparingly. You can have it once in a while and steam some sweet potatoes with it."

"Hey!" Xiao Qiang touched his stomach. He had never been hungry since he was a child and didn't know about eating porridge every day.

"It's been peaceful these years. When dynasties changed, life was even harder. My grandparents died before they were 30, and my parents rarely had a full meal... I'm content with what I have now."

Ding Xirui took a step closer to his sister-in-law and hugged her arm. "Life will definitely get better and better."

"The head of the village said there is a river nearby. Are there fish and shrimp in the river? Let's catch some and eat them." Xiaoqiang asked.

"Well, it's called a river, but it's very small, and there aren't many fish or shrimp. You'll see if you go and take a look. In the summer there's a lot of water, but we still have to think about intercepting the water to irrigate the paddy fields. Occasionally we can use some water to fill our stomachs when we have free time, but it won't be enough to eat for many meals."

Ding Xirui looked at the surrounding mountains again. Many years ago, perhaps someone wanted to escape the war and settled down deep in the mountains. Unexpectedly, this place was not a paradise.

A few people walked back to the temporary clinic. There were a few more people in the hospital. However, they were not seeing patients. Instead, each of them was eating a bowl of porridge.

"Are you going to eat now?" Mrs. Li walked forward quickly.

"Yes, it's seafood porridge. I have never eaten anything from the sea in my life. It's really fresh. Miss An from the kitchen asked everyone to eat it. You should go and get a bowl too." said a woman with a hunched back.

Mrs. Li looked back at Ding Xirui, smiled, and went to the kitchen. However, after a moment, she hurried out again, "Why didn't you tell me that I had to bring my own dishes and chopsticks?"

Ding Xirui looked to the east side of the courtyard wall and found that the old lady who was reluctant to spend money on medical treatment was gone.

"Didn't you say that we were going to her house to buy rice?" Ding Xirui shrugged and walked to Lin Mingxuan.

"You and Xiaoqiang go make some Shouyangdan." Lin Mingxuan said. In front of him sat a little girl wrapped in winter clothes but still shivering.

"Okay." Ding Xirui called Xiaoqiang, and the two of them took out the Hancong and Chen Fengwo and started making medicine.

"Drink a bowl of Huiyang Soup to warm your body first. When you get home, take the Shouyang Pill and hold it in your palm, tie it tightly with a handkerchief, and then cover yourself with a thick quilt to sweat." Lin Mingxuan continued to say to the little girl.

"Okay, thank you doctor."

Hearing that they could eat seafood porridge for free, more and more people came to the courtyard. There were dozens of people coming and going. It was impossible to count how many there were, and it was unknown whether all the villagers came. An Yumo was sweating in the kitchen. He cooked a box of clams, used up half a bag of dried mushrooms, used up three large cabbages, and emptied a bag of rice...

Ah Qing's three small medicine furnaces never stopped working, and Yuan Sansheng helped to watch the fire. In the past, when he made a fire in the wild, he would think about roasting some fresh mushrooms for himself, but today he didn't have the time to do so.

It was completely dark, and the people in the yard gradually dispersed. But the yard did not become empty. I don't know who took the lead, but everyone who had finished eating porridge went home to get something to bring back. Most of them brought some firewood, and the side of the kitchen was almost full.

A small number of people grabbed their own vegetables, and An Yumo made room for them to avoid confusion with the ones they brought - this was Ding Xirui's instruction. Lan County should be in a selenium-deficient area, and Xiaoshi Village may be particularly serious. The food given to the villagers should preferably be from outside to supplement different nutrients.
