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

Chapter 385: Xiao Yuan's disability becomes a fact, and making lip balm makes me feel ashamed

"May God bless me." At this time, all I can do is pray.

Reality is often cruel.

Over in Lan County, a man named Aduo felt very disappointed when he saw the shivering child who couldn't speak or stand up.

"Son!" He wrapped the child in thick clothes and carried him to Jimin Medical Clinic.

Lin Mingxuan took his pulse and shook his head.

"The poison has already damaged the brain. There's nothing that can be done."

The man held his son's hand and trembled.

Everyone in the clinic looked at each other, not knowing how to comfort the patient. When the flu was prevalent last year, they also encountered many patients who could not be cured, but facing serious things like disability and death, their hearts would not be numb.

The man carried the child on his back and returned home silently.

Nan Xing saw their family's situation and felt even sadder, "Master, we..."

"Go find Ah Qing and Ming Shan and ask them to ask Huimin Pharmacy or the Charity Bureau if they can provide some help."

"it is good."

When Nanxing left, Lin Mingxuan thought of Master Lin's words again. Human life is at stake. A moment or two could lead to a completely different outcome. He had gone to Xiaoshi Village the night before and made a mistake in judgment. This was due to his lack of experience and his "disdain" for human life.

Mr. Lin has always emphasized that "a doctor should have a benevolent heart." He thought he understood it, but in fact, he did not understand it enough.

After a morning, Nanxing returned, looking dejected.

"Master, the Charity Bureau and Huimin Pharmacy are already struggling to take care of themselves. Don't expect them to help you."

"Did they tell you that?"

"Well, Huimin Pharmacy is already struggling to prepare winter herbs, and they don't have the money... Ah Qing also said that when you, Madam Shao, and Miss An went to Xiaoshi Village, Magistrate Li said that the payment for herbs and medical consultations would probably be delayed."

"I see."

"Then what should we do, Xiao Yuan... That child is the only one at home with his father. How can his father feel at ease going out to work when Xiao Yuan is in this state?"

"What did his father do originally?"

"I don't have any special skills. I just go out and carry things on my shoulders to earn a little money."

Lin Mingxuan was silent. He and Ding Xirui had deposited a poverty relief fund in a bank in Luocheng County, and there was about fifty or sixty taels of it now. Of course, he could take out ten taels to help Xiao Yuan and his son, but the money would eventually run out. Xiao Yuan's father worked hard to earn money, and it would be even harder for him to find a job when he got older... These were all matters for the future. As for Xiao Yuan, who was a child, who knew how long he could last, he should just take care of the present.

Lin Mingxuan patted Nanxing on the back and said, "Nanxing, you said yesterday that they lived in a compound together, right?"

"Correct."

"Go get one or two ounces of silver, change them into copper coins, and give them to Xiao Yuan's father. Ask him to find a sister-in-law in the yard to look after the child."

"One or two?"

"Well, just take one tael this month. More may not be a good thing. If he doesn't want to, just say it's a loan and you can pay it back slowly in the future."

"it is good."

Nanxing went out to work, and Lin Mingxuan thought about the "poverty relief fund". At the beginning, he and Ding Xirui used the poverty relief fund to help the uncles and uncles in the free clinic area to open small shops so that they could support themselves. This method can also be applied to Lan County. In Luocheng County, there is the help of the Zheng family, and the help of the eldest brother Lin Mingyuan and his wife. Who should I look for here?

I have not been here for long. Who can I trust? Who can trust him? Lin Mingxuan turned his gaze to Xiaoqiang and the others.

As I was thinking this, it was almost evening when a man came to the door and asked, "Excuse me, is there a Mr. Lin here?"

"Yes." Lin Mingxuan walked over

"There's a letter for you."

"Thank you." Lin Mingxuan opened the small package and took out the letter. He was very familiar with the handwriting on the envelope. It was Ding Xirui.

He couldn't wait to open it, and gradually, a smile appeared on his face.

"Doctor Lin, is there any good news?" Xiaoqiang asked.

"Nothing." Lin Mingxuan sat down and read the letter again. Xi Rui had guessed his difficulties. The letter said that recently, Mrs. Niu gave her some gifts to thank her. She asked Mrs. Niu for her consent and exchanged them for silver. She had deposited them into the poverty relief fund account of the bank. If Lan County needed it, she could go and get it. A silver note was also attached to the letter.

This money can be used as start-up capital, and as for the managers, they can be trained slowly.

When he got home from work, he saw a slight smoke coming out of a corner of the yard. Lin Mingxuan took out a shovel from the warehouse and shoveled away the sand and other materials near the smoke.

"Young Master, how long will it take to make this thing?" Nanxing walked over and asked.

"Let it hang for two days."

"Hey, it's finally gone. Luckily we informed our neighbors in advance, otherwise they would have thought our house was on fire."

"It can't burn. I covered it with an iron cage. There's soil all around. There's basically no fire. It's just smoke."

"Hey, if the young lady knew about this, I can't guarantee whether she would be touched or..."

"then what?"

"It's okay..." Nanxing smiled awkwardly and walked out of the kitchen to help Mingshan cook.

Lin Mingxuan knew that Nanxing wanted to say that he was "disdained him for wasting money". Maybe because of Xiaoyuan's matter, Nanxing was afraid that he would be ashamed and didn't say it. In fact, Lin Mingxuan was ashamed at the moment, because what he wanted to make was lip balm, and it was made of many spices and herbs, which took a long time to make and had complicated processes. This thing was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the market price was expensive. Only people with a good life would buy it.

When he was a child, he had seen his father give it to his mother, so he wanted to make it for Ding Xirui himself.

The materials were bought a long time ago, but not much. If they were delayed from autumn to winter, it would be a waste if they were not made. So, a few days ago, he bought honey, beeswax and rice wine and started this "big project". Pounding the medicine, mixing, soaking, boiling, filtering, dividing into cans... Then, the cans were sealed using the Jiajianhexiang method, covered with charcoal and sawdust for four days, and then dried for two days, and then filtered, matched colors, mixed, boiled, and solidified again.

He was busy with these after work every day, and Nanxing helped out a little. Nanxing was so good at making things, but his patience was almost exhausted.

Staring at the jar and thinking of Xiao Yuan, Lin Mingxuan felt even more ashamed and could hardly go on.

"Young Master, how much can you make in the end? If you sell it to a rouge and powder shop, can you make a lot of money?" Nanxing asked.

"I should be able to make a few small jars..." Lin Mingxuan turned his head and looked at Nanxing, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

"Nanxing, when it's done, leave one can for the young lady, and help me sell the rest, and try to get a good price."

"Okay, Master, I'll start asking around tomorrow."

Lin Mingxuan smiled slightly, and the guilt in his heart was reduced a little. The money from selling lip balm, minus the cost of materials, was put into the poverty relief fund. This kind of "extravagant" thing was only for this time, and he would never do it again.

"Master, the meal is ready, let's eat." Mingshan shouted in the kitchen.

"Okay." Lin Mingxuan and Nanxing walked towards the main house.

In recent days, Mingshan has been helping out at Huimin Pharmacy in Lan County. He is much more tired than when he was at Jishitang. He has to help cook every day when he gets home. Alas! Before leaving Luocheng County this time, Ding Xirui told them to cook their own dinner every day. Lin Mingxuan and Nanxing obeyed, and he dared not disobey.

"Mingshan, your skills have improved." Lin Mingxuan said.

"Master, stop praising him. His dish is almost burnt." Nan Xing said.

"When you were learning to cook, you were not as good as Ming Shan."

"Yes, Nanxing is not as good as Mingshan, and even less as good as the young master~" Nanxing deliberately dragged out his tone, his eyes full of provocation.

"Tell me what happened." Mingshan winked at Nanxing.

"Ahem, eat. Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping." Thinking of the embarrassing things when he was learning to cook, Lin Mingxuan's face turned red and he lowered his head to eat silently.

At the Lin family in Luocheng County, Ding Xirui was taking inventory of their property. He finally managed to save his life, so he had to plan his future life well.

The rent had already been collected, with part of the grain kept in the warehouse and part sold for silver. The money Lin Mingxuan invested in the herbal medicine shop would not be shared with them until the New Year. Add to that the money the two earned from the clinic every month, minus daily expenses, and they had saved less than twenty taels in the past six months.

But this income is already very good, much more than the average person, and they should be content. Well, think about it carefully, the two of them are not even landlords, and the land they own is less than 100 acres.

I really want to be as generous as Mrs. Niu. A casual gift is almost as much as their annual savings. Ding Xirui closed the box and fell on the bed. Their Ding family is not rich. They have a small medicine shop to support more than a dozen people. Her parents did not save much property. They gave her land in Luocheng County as a dowry, and also prepared several hundred taels of silver notes, clothes, jewelry, furniture, etc., all the things a daughter should have when she gets married, and she will not have to worry about life. The Lin family is quite wealthy. According to Wen Yuexin, after several generations, they have accumulated thousands of acres of land. They have shops in Luocheng County and Jiangjin County that can collect rent, and they also have a medium-sized medical clinic...

If I had known earlier, I would not have returned the property given by Madam Lin. Oh my... Forget it, I can't have these thoughts. I'd better be down-to-earth and accumulate money slowly. It's my own money that is easier to use.
