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

Ding Xirui still didn't look at him. He picked up a piece of astragalus and smelled it.

"It would be great if Xiaoshi Village could grow Astragalus..." Lin Mingxuan said cautiously.

"Xiaoshi Village is too wet, so we can't plant crops." Ding Xirui couldn't help but say.

"Yes, yes, to plant Astragalus, the soil must be fertile and well-drained, otherwise the roots will easily rot." Lin Mingxuan laughed.

"However, it is possible to grow angelica...but the miasma is too heavy, and we can't go to high, cold and humid places. What a pity." Ding Xirui glanced at him.

"Danggui, yes..." Liu Yanhong had just prepared the Four Substances Soup, which contained angelica, which made Lin Mingxuan even more uncomfortable. "Xi Rui, you and Miss Liu?"

"Miss Liu is very nice," Ding Xirui smiled and glanced at Lin Mingxuan again, "I don't know many people like her, but Miss Liu is really beautiful, first-class beauty." She raised her head and recalled Liu Yanhong's bright face.

Lin Mingxuan grabbed a handful of Astragalus and scattered them again: “No matter what Miss Liu looks like, it has nothing to do with us.”

Ding Xirui turned around and looked at him with interest, "I think Miss Liu is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted. If I were a man, I would definitely be moved."

"You..." Lin Mingxuan was a little speechless, then he took a step closer, stretched out his hand, and put his arm around her shoulders: "Xi Rui, I don't deny that I once had some feelings for Miss Liu, but that's all. I don't have any intention of going further, and it's impossible to go further. Regardless of whether we are familiar with her or not, there is no way we can have anything..."

Ding Xirui suddenly felt uncomfortable. Lin Mingxuan's implication was the difference in status. Although they were just commoners and there was nothing noble about them, Miss Liu should be a so-called "lowly class".

Alas, she couldn't blame Lin Mingxuan for everything. Even though he was stigmatized by his status, he had helped Miss Liu and saved her from danger, and treated her with courtesy, so he was Miss Liu's "benefactor" and "friend" in Luocheng County.

"I like Miss Liu very much." She said softly.

Lin Mingxuan frowned slightly, a little puzzled: "You have only met once."

"It doesn't affect anything." Ding Xirui smiled slightly.

"Master, Madam, there is a patient." Nanxing ran over and called for help.

"Okay, I'll be right there." The two smiled at each other and walked towards the front hall.

The "patient" was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

"I heard that there is a female doctor in Jimin Hall. Is it you?" The girl looked at Ding Xirui and asked.

"Well, is there anything I can help you with?" Ding Xirui nodded.

The little girl looked around, with some hesitation on her face.

"Please follow me." Ding Xirui led her to the back hall.

"Girl, there's no one else here, just tell me if you have any questions."

"Doctor, my wife's legs are...extremely dry and itchy at night. Last night, she scratched her legs and only discovered it when she woke up in the morning."

"Has this ever happened before?"

"Not really. My wife's skin is prone to dryness, and she becomes dry in autumn and winter. But she never got itchy in the past, it was just drier. I don't know what happened this year... She scratched it once shortly after the fall, but it didn't break. It's getting worse lately..." The girl said, frowning.

"Besides the skin on your legs, is the skin on other parts of your body dry as well?"

"My wife has a strange condition. Her chest and back aren't dry, but her arms and legs are dry, especially her legs."

"Yeah." Ding Xirui nodded. This lady's skin type should be what that world calls "combination skin".

"Have there been any changes in your diet or lifestyle habits recently?" she asked.

"No, it's the same as before." The little girl paused, then continued, "It rained continuously after the Mid-Autumn Festival. I was afraid that my wife would get cold, so I put a brazier in the house. If there is anything different from the past, it is that the brazier was lit earlier than in previous years. After winter came, the brazier has never stopped."

Ding Xirui nodded: "That's it. Placing the brazier in the house makes the house drier and the skin drier. However, there are many conditions that can cause dry skin and we need to look at the whole picture. My medical skills are still limited and I'm afraid I can't diagnose a pulse, so I still need to ask Doctor Lin from the front hall to go with me..."

"Male doctor...how do you examine patients?" The little girl was very resistant.

"Don't worry, I will go with you. Doctor Lin will just ask questions and feel your pulse."

"Okay." The little girl smiled.

Ding Lin and the other two took the medicine box and followed her home. It was a small courtyard located in the East Fang, which was refreshing and elegant. When the girl opened the door, a woman was watering the camellia in the courtyard, and a servant was helping her.

"Madam, I brought a doctor with me," said the little girl.

Lin Mingxuan and Ding Xirui nodded in greeting. The woman looked a little embarrassed, and immediately handed the kettle in her hand to the servant next to her and quickly returned the greeting.

"Come in," she said.

The two men followed the woman into the main hall, and the girl poured them tea.

"Madam, dry skin may have many reasons, it may be dry lungs, blood deficiency, or kidney yin deficiency. May I ask, do you usually feel dry mouth, tongue, nasopharynx?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

The woman shook her head. "That's not the case."

"Do you feel tired on weekdays?" Ding Xirui asked.

The woman nodded:

"Well, I feel sleepy every day, and I always feel tired."

"Do you usually feel dizzy?" Ding Xirui asked.

"Indeed." The woman nodded.

Ding Lin and the others had a preliminary conclusion in their minds that this lady might be suffering from "anemia".

"Madam, I need to take your pulse to determine your condition." Lin Mingxuan said.

"it is good."

Ding Xirui opened the medicine box and took out the pulse pillow and silk handkerchief.

After Lin Mingxuan finished taking the pulse, he was about to say something when Ding Xirui coughed lightly. He understood what was going on, bowed to the woman, and gave up his seat to let Ding Xirui take her pulse.

Ding Xirui placed her hand on the woman's wrist and calmed down to feel her pulse. The woman's pulse was weak and thin, which should be due to blood deficiency. After a while, she took her hand away and put away the silk handkerchief and pulse pillow.

"Madam, the reason why you feel dizzy and tired, and your skin is especially dry in autumn and winter, is because of blood deficiency." Lin Mingxuan said.

"Is this... serious?" The woman's face looked a little panicked, and the little girl next to her quickly stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

"Madam, you don't have to worry too much. Take some medicine and pay more attention to your diet, and you will definitely recover soon." Ding Xirui said.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Doctor, please prescribe the medicine quickly." The little girl said, motioning to the servant at the door to bring pen and ink.

Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, Astragalus membranaceus, longan meat, Ziziphus jujuba seed, ginseng, costusroot, licorice, and Angelica sinensis... Lin Mingxuan prescribed Guipi Decoction.

"Prescribe the medicine according to the prescription and take it on time. You can eat some pork liver every three to five days, and put some red dates and longan when stewing the soup. Pay attention to rest and avoid overwork." Lin Mingxuan said.

"Thank you, doctor." The woman nodded.

"Doctor, the lady's leg..." The little girl looked at Ding Xirui and then at Lin Mingxuan.

Lin Mingxuan smiled slightly, bowed, walked out of the house and came to the stone table in the yard.

"Xiaoxia, why are you..." the woman scolded.

"Madam, I would like to ask Doctor Ding to check your legs. Doctor Lin is here, so it's not convenient."

"You girl, you are really..." The woman turned to Ding Xirui, feeling embarrassed.

"Madam, I heard that your leg was injured?" Ding Xirui asked.

"I don't know what happened. I was unconscious at night and had no idea what happened. When I woke up the next day, I felt a dull pain in my calf. I pulled up my pajamas and saw several bloody wounds."

"The skin needs nourishment. Your Qi and blood are insufficient, so your skin is prone to dryness. Adding the brazier in the house, it becomes even drier, which aggravates the condition."

"It's all my fault..." the little girl muttered softly and lowered her head.

"It's okay, you're just worried that I'm cold." The woman patted her arm.

"Madam, you should drink more water on a daily basis. When you take a bath, you don't need to use bath beans frequently, just use plain water. Now that the weather is cooler, you don't need to wash every day. After washing, wipe it dry with cotton cloth and apply a layer of hand cream. Puji hand cream will do, and wash it off after half an hour."

"Puji hand ointment?"

"Yes. When you go to get medicine later, you can get a prescription from the clinic. The ingredients are simple and it is easy to make."

"Okay." A smile appeared on the woman's face, and there was some excitement in the little girl's eyes.

If she were in that world, Ding Xirui would suggest that she apply a layer of olive oil on her legs, then wrap them with plastic wrap and leave them there for an hour. However, the Puji hand ointment made with Trichosanthes kirilowii also has a moisturizing effect, so it can be used as a substitute. Taking Guipi Decoction internally to nourish the blood deficiency, and applying the ointment externally, the condition should improve quickly.

"By the way, the injury on your leg hasn't healed yet, so try not to touch water." Ding Xirui continued to instruct.

"Yes, thank you doctor."

Ding and Lin said goodbye. When they walked out of the courtyard, the sun was a bit dazzling, so Lin Mingxuan stretched out his sleeves to help her block it out.
