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

After breakfast, An Yumo cooked seaweed soup as planned. She soaked a few handfuls of seaweed, added a small amount of flour to make a batter, added some diced vegetables, a little oil and salt, and boiled the soup in water at noon.

The patients from the previous two days came to take medicine one after another. Dashi and several other men also lined up in front of the door waiting for acupuncture to treat arthritis. Ding Xirui looked carefully and found that the thin and dark man who had the last cupping treatment yesterday morning did not come.

"It seems like there's one person missing?" Ding Xirui looked left and right and asked.

"You mean 'skinny monkey'?" said the pockmarked man.

"That should be the case. He was the one who did the cupping before dinner yesterday morning."

"It's 'Skinny Monkey'. He said he'd come together yesterday, but we didn't see him today."

"Brother, do you know where his home is?" Ding Xirui asked.

"His house is not far from here. Turn left after exiting the alley. A few steps forward there is a small jujube tree. Turn right again and it's the third house."

"Okay, thank you brother, I'll go take a look later." Ding Xirui nodded.

Not long after, Mrs. Li brought a few more people into the yard, two of whom brought their children. She walked towards Ding Xirui with a smile, "Doctor Ding, I started from the east end of the village and brought one family after another here. Now there is less work in the fields, and most people are at home."

"Thank you, Mrs. Li."

Ding Xirui shook her hand and asked them to line up in front of the main room. Lin Mingxuan was giving acupuncture to Dashi in the room. He was too nervous to look at the silver needles, so he closed his eyes and turned his face away.

"Take a deep breath and relax, otherwise it will hurt." Ding Xirui said.

Daishi opened his mouth slightly and let out a breath.

"Yes, the needle is very thin and small, it won't hurt." Lin Mingxuan patted him.

After the acupuncture was over, a woman came in holding a child of three or four years old. The child looked listless and started making a fuss before the sister-in-law sat down. The woman could hardly hold him.

"What's wrong with you, kid? You're so annoying!"

The child continued to struggle and move, "Go! Go!" he shouted.

"Sister-in-law, has the child been feeling unwell these days?"

"You haven't been behaving well since yesterday. You won't eat well and won't play well."

"Did you say your stomach hurts?"

"The child didn't say anything, but his belly is bulging."

Lin Mingxuan leaned over and smiled at the child, "Baby, let uncle take a look at your belly, okay?"

The child shook his head and snuggled into his sister-in-law's arms.

Yuan Sansheng picked up a smooth little stone in the yard and shook it in front of the child, "Look how beautiful this little stone is."

"No!" The child grabbed the stone and threw it aside.

Ding Xirui shook his head, went to the inner room and took out an almond candy. When the child saw the candy, he slowly calmed down, looked at his sister-in-law, and then looked at Ding Xirui.

"Baby, let uncle see your belly." Ding Xirui said.

"Okay." The child's eyes were fixed on the candy.

Lin Mingxuan lifted his clothes and rubbed his tongue gently. The child struggled subconsciously, but thinking about the candy, he did not break free. Ding Xirui put the almond candy to his mouth, and when he opened his mouth, Lin Mingxuan took a look at his tongue coating.

After taking the candy, he calmed down. Lin Mingxuan felt the temperature of his hands and feet and took his pulse.

"Doctor, what's wrong with my son?" asked the sister-in-law.

"Like everyone else in the village, they all have Yin syndrome."

“Ah? Will that…” The sister-in-law was a little anxious. After all, some people had died before they could be treated.

"Don't worry, I'll prescribe the medicine right away." Lin Mingxuan turned around and wrote a prescription for Huiyang. Because it was a child taking the medicine, the dosage was reduced to one-third of that for adults.

"Sister-in-law, let me massage the acupuncture points for the child to relieve the bloating."

Lin Mingxuan rubbed his hands, undressed the child again, and massaged the Tianshu, Zhongwan, Neiguan, Zusanli and other parts.

At this time, another child at the door started crying.

"Mom, I want to go home."

"Be good, we'll leave after we see the doctor."

"My stomach hurts...I need to go to the toilet."

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

Ding Xirui frowned. The symptoms of Keshan disease in children are different from those in adults. At first, they are listless, have a loss of appetite, cry, and are unwilling to play. Most children will have abdominal pain, bloating, or diarrhea. Severe cases are similar to those in adults, with vomiting, blue complexion, and cold limbs. Now, a wave of attacks has already occurred among adults in Xiaoshi Village, so the focus should be on children.

Thinking of this, Ding Xirui stood up and went to the kitchen to find Mrs. Li.

"Sister-in-law, how many children under the age of twelve are there in Xiaoshi Village?"

Mrs. Li thought for a moment and said, "Not many, maybe about a dozen or twenty."

"Please ask the parents to bring their children here, Mrs. Li, so that I can examine them first."

"Okay, I'll go from house to house."

"Thank you, Aunt Li. If the baby is crying, refusing to eat, or even having a stomachache, you must bring him here as soon as possible. If there is no problem, you can wait and come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, Doctor Ding, I understand."

Mrs. Li untied her apron and quickly walked out of the yard.

After the first child was diagnosed, the second child came out of the toilet. Ding Xirui went to the kitchen, first filled a bowl of hot water, and added some salt and sugar.

"Mom, doctor, this child has diarrhea."

Ding Xirui handed the child the sugar and salt water solution and asked him to drink it first.

"When did it start?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

"This is the second time I've been to the toilet this morning."

"Yeah." Lin Mingxuan nodded.

The child in front of him was older and more sensible than the first one. Lin Mingxuan examined the child smoothly and prescribed the same decoction for restoring yang, and also added Pueraria lobata decoction for strengthening the spleen for the child to take.

Not long after, five or six children were brought in. Their conditions were similar to what Ding Xirui had described. Because they had only been there for two days, the family members thought that the children were just naughty and did not think that they were sick.

The yard suddenly became noisy. When the children saw their friends, although they were not as enthusiastic as before, they still gathered together and chattered. Two boys, about seven or eight years old, were waving firewood sticks at each other.

Ding Xirui has a bit of a headache.

"Everyone, please come over here. If you feel very uncomfortable, please go to the front and let Dr. Lin see you first."

The children rarely saw a "doctor" and were full of curiosity about Lin Mingxuan. They all wanted to go to the front. They huddled together, as if they had forgotten the pain in their bodies.

"How about we play rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner, and the winner will be in front?" Ding Xirui raised his voice.

"Scissors, rock-paper-scissors, how do we guess?" asked the tallest girl. Her eyes were narrow and long, and there was an inexplicable cunning feeling in them.

"That's it..." Oh my God, Ding Xirui suddenly realized that they probably didn't know how to play "Rock, Scissors, Paper" at this time, and was suddenly embarrassed.

"Let's compare the palms and backs of our hands. Let's form a circle first." Ding Xirui said as he asked the children to form a circle. There were only six children, so it should be quick.

"I say one, two, three. When I say 'three', you all hold out your hands. You can choose to show the palm or the back of your hand. If everyone else shows the palm and only one person shows the back of his hand, the person who shows the back of his hand wins and can go to the front. Do you understand?"

"understood."

"One, two, three!" The shortest little boy showed his hand, and Ding Xirui pulled him out and sent him directly into the house. His mother accompanied him with a smile and followed him into the house.

The game ended quickly and the teams were lined up. Several children sat in front of the main door and played the palm and back of the hand game by themselves.

If Ding Xirui hadn't had to go into the house to help Lin Mingxuan, he really wanted to teach them the game of "Rock, Scissors, Paper".
