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

While An Yumo was trying to convince her parents, Ding Xirui was about to go out. She planned to go to the clinic with Lin Mingxuan. That day at the gate of the Lin family, Master Lin said that he would allow her to go to the clinic. She was excited for two days.

Lin Mingxuan usually went to the clinic on foot and rarely took a car. Now that he brought Ding Xirui, a female relative, with him, he asked Nanxing to harness the car in advance during breakfast, but was stopped by Ding Xirui.

"It's not far, so there's no need to take a car."

"But you...it's not very convenient after all."

"It's not inconvenient. Aren't there many women doing business on the street?"

"You are different."

"It's the same for me. I just go out to do things, so walking a few blocks is no problem." Ding Xirui insisted.

"Okay then." Lin Mingxuan agreed.

So, after breakfast, the two of them went out together. Ding Xirui remembered that in the 21st century, she had a checklist for going out: mobile phone, keys, wallet, tissue, water cup, umbrella... She would count them every time before going out. Now she is much more relaxed, with two handkerchiefs and some change stuffed in her sleeves, haha.

The weather was gradually getting warmer. A string of buds appeared on the hollyhocks by the roadside. The pomegranate tree on the wall poked its head out. Ding Xirui jumped up and hit the branches with his hand.

"Be careful of the thorns." Lin Mingxuan supported her.

"It's okay." Ding Xirui said.

"Let's plant a pomegranate tree in our yard tomorrow," said Lin Mingxuan.

"Okay, we want the peach tree too." Ding Xirui said softly.

He arrived at the clinic earlier than Master Lin and Lin Mingyuan. The staff at the clinic had heard that the Second Young Master's wife was coming, and although they were not that surprised, they were still quite curious. Although they did not dare to ask too much, they did discuss it in a low voice.

Lin Mingxuan walked to his seat and motioned Ding Xirui to sit down. A moment later, Master Lin and Lin Mingyuan also arrived. After greeting each other, they all sat down in their seats. There were no patients coming for the time being, so Ding Xirui stood up and went to the medicine cabinet at the back to look at the names of the medicines. A young man came over and pulled out a drawer for Ding Xirui to see.

"Young Madam, look."

"Okay, thank you."

"What's your name?"

"The younger one is Akashi."

"Akashi, can you introduce these herbs?"

"Yes."

Akashi introduced them one by one.

Lin Mingxuan watched from his seat, a smile unconsciously appearing at the corners of his mouth.

Patients arrived at the clinic one after another. A couple came in and sat in front of Lin Mingxuan. Ding Xirui saw them from the corner of his eye, stopped studying the herbs, nodded to Mingshi to express his gratitude, and walked silently behind Lin Mingxuan. The couple were dressed simply, and the husband had a patch on his shoe.

"Doctor, my wife has been feeling anxious lately," the man said.

"Madam, please stretch out your hand." Lin Mingxuan began to feel the woman's pulse. After a moment, he asked:

"Madam, are you feeling any other discomfort?"

The woman looked hesitant and said, "Nothing else."

The man sighed and said, "Since we are here to see the doctor, you should stop hiding anything and tell the doctor."

"Yes, ma'am. Please tell me your symptoms clearly so that I can prescribe the right medicine and you can get better as soon as possible." Lin Mingxuan said.

"I'm sorry." The woman raised her head and said, "I often feel dizzy and tired even though I haven't done anything."

"Okay, ma'am. Sorry, I need to see your eyes. Please move over here a little." After Lin Mingxuan said that, he pulled the woman's lower eyelid down a little bit. Ding Xirui saw that the woman's lower eyelid was white.

"Madam, please extend your hand." The woman extended her hand. Her nails were very thin.

After checking, Lin Mingxuan said, "Madam, you are deficient in Qi and blood, you need to replenish your body."

Ding Xirui also judged that this lady might be suffering from iron deficiency anemia.

"Doctor, what kind of medicine do I need to take?" the man asked.

Lin Mingxuan began to write a prescription, and Ding Xirui saw that the prescription included donkey-hide gelatin, angelica and codonopsis.

"Doctor, is this medicine expensive?" the woman asked.

Lin Mingxuan looked up and frowned. Because the woman's symptoms were not mild, she needed to take the medicine for a while. But judging from the couple's appearance, they probably couldn't afford to take the medicine for that long.

"Madam, how often do you eat meat?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

"During the New Year and other festivals, my family..." The woman didn't finish her words. She probably meant that there was no chance to eat meat at home.

After listening to this, Lin Mingxuan looked worried.

"Duck blood, pig blood, or pig liver, chicken liver, these should not be that expensive. Can we eat some on a regular basis?" Ding Xirui walked forward and asked.

“I rarely eat these,” the woman replied.

"These should be easier to buy. If you can eat a little bit every day, it will be very helpful for your body's recovery, right?" Ding Xirui looked at Lin Mingxuan and asked.

"That's right. You don't need to eat too much. Just eat a small amount every day and slowly make up for it." Lin Mingxuan nodded and replied.

The man said: "That's no problem. But, this person is..." He looked at Ding Xirui, feeling a little unbelievable.

"This is my wife, Mrs. Ding, who also understands medicine," Lin Mingxuan introduced.

"Doctor Ding..." The man nodded in greeting.

"You're welcome." It was the first time that Ding Xirui was called Doctor Ding. He felt so happy that he was a little overwhelmed to react.

Lin Mingxuan smiled and said, "But no matter what, you have to take a few doses of these medicines first." He handed the prescription to the man, "Get the medicine over there." He pointed to the counter.

The man took the prescription and went to get the medicine, while the woman sat alone and waited.

Ding Xirui hesitated. She also knew some foods that were rich in iron, but she didn't know if her knowledge overlapped with Lin Mingxuan's. She would need additional explanations after she spoke them out. However, for the sake of the patient, she still spoke:

"There are also some foods, such as mushrooms, fungus, kelp, seaweed, sesame paste, and egg yolks, which can be eaten. It will be more beneficial if you eat some oranges and dates while eating them." Plant foods contain trivalent iron. Eating foods rich in vitamin C is beneficial to the absorption of iron.

Lin Mingxuan was surprised. When he was compiling the Dietary Materia Medica, he had not seen the functions of these foods. He wondered where Ding Xirui had seen them. However, eating a variety of foods is good for the body. Now is not the time to discuss this. Thinking of this, he also spoke: "Well. The body needs a variety of nutrients, which need to be obtained from food."

The woman looked embarrassed. Because their business failed, their family now relied on her husband's odd jobs to make a living. They usually eat ordinary food and are very frugal in everything. They only eat a little better during the festivals. They really have no spare money.

Ding Xirui and Lin Mingxuan looked at each other and understood. In the past, when they encountered patients from poor families, if they were old people without strength, they would directly waive the medicine fee. If they were able to work, the Lin family would generally assign some work so that the other party's family could earn some money for medicine.

Lin Mingxuan said, "Madam, we have the work of sorting medicinal materials in our clinic every day. If you two are free, you can come and help with some of the work. In this way, some of the medical expenses can be saved. If you do enough work, you can also get some pocket money to supplement the family expenses."

"Really?" The woman stood up suddenly.

"Madam, please sit down. Go back and take your medicine first, and come back when you are free in the afternoon." Lin Mingxuan said. At this time, the man came over with the medicine.

"Boss, Doctor Lin said that we can work here so we don't have to pay for medicine." The woman held her husband's hand, her voice trembling.

"Really?" The man pulled his wife up and bowed quickly.

"Thank you, Doctor Lin. Thank you, Doctor Lin."

Ding Lin and the other man quickly helped the couple up.

Lin Mingxuan turned around and said:

"Akashi, come here for a moment."

Akashi, who was counting on an abacus, ran over.

"These two will come to work in the afternoon. Take them to the backyard and assign them five days' work."

"Yes, Master."
