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

"Okay, okay, I won't be so sarcastic anymore." An Yumo put away his attitude and continued, "Xi Rui, I really didn't expect you to make this request."

"I thought of this after I met a few patients at the clinic. Fortunately, I have your and Uncle An's support. Thank you so much." Ding Xirui said.

"Let's not say thank you between us." An Yumo hit Ding Xirui's arm.

"Okay." Ding Xirui smiled.

The waiter knocked on the door and brought two large plates of food.

"Today is the hottest day of the year. I'd like to invite you to try a bowl of lychee herbal tea. Please enjoy." An Yumo picked up a small bowl and handed it to Ding Xirui. The small bowl was light yellow with a few pieces of lychee pulp at the bottom. Ding Xirui took it and felt cool. He took a sip and felt a refreshing breath from his mouth to his stomach. In an instant, he felt that the summer heat had disappeared, but at the same time he didn't feel cold.

"It tastes good." said Ding Xirui.

"Of course!" An Yumo raised his chin, his face saying "Praise me, praise me".

"Tell me how you did it?"

"It's very simple. Let me explain it to you. Put the lychees in a deep well to cool for at least two hours. When you want to eat them, peel them, remove the core, put them in a bowl, pound them with a rolling pin, add a slice of lemon, and then pour in cold water. Don't wait, eat them right away."

"that's it?"

"that's it."

Isn’t this the ancient version of a summer cold drink? The lychees are chilled in a deep well, no wonder it’s refreshing but not chilling.

"Ice cubes are good, but sometimes I feel uncomfortable in my stomach after eating things with ice or ice cubes. They are not as good as well water. Lychees are too sweet, and my mouth feels bitter after eating them, so I want to dilute them with water. But the water tastes too light when I just put the lychees in, so I thought of mashing the lychees to get some juice, and then using lemon fruit to add some fragrance." An Yumo began to dance with joy.

"Chef An is indeed worthy of his reputation!" Ding Xirui praised. She finished her last sip and asked, "Yumo, you mentioned ice just now. Do you have tea or fruit with ice in the restaurant?"

"Always available. Iced plum juice is the most popular. It tastes sweet and sour and is refreshing. It helps relieve greasiness and stimulates appetite. The kitchen also makes some herbal tea. Now that the weather is getting hotter, it is in short supply every day."

It turns out that in this era, ice has already "entered the homes of ordinary people". Ding Xirui was busy with the affairs of the clinic and did not even notice it. Iced plum juice, just thinking about it makes me feel refreshed. This lychee herbal tea is also very good.

The sound of cicadas made the heat even worse. Ding Xirui thought of Lin Mingxuan who worked in the clinic, so he asked, "Yumo, is ice expensive?"

"It's not expensive. There are two stores in the West Market and one in the East Market. Why, do you want to take it home?"

"Well, take it home to cool down."

"Let's go in the afternoon, just in time for the festival."

"Are there fresh lemons for sale at the market?" Lemons are what later generations called "lemons". Ding Xirui had seen dried ones in the herbal medicine shop.

"Yes, but not much. If you want, I'll take you there. I heard from the store owner that most lemons are dried, which is easy to preserve. Dried lemons are also a medicinal ingredient, right?"

"That's right." Ding Xirui couldn't wait to go home and make cold drinks.

"eat first."

The staple food for the two was the multi-grain rice made by An Yumo. The brown rice was chewy and the red beans had a strong aroma. The whole bowl of rice was fragrant. The two of them ate their fill, finally making up for the energy they had consumed in the morning at Zheng's house.

After buying fresh lemons and ice cubes, Ding Xirui returned to the Lin family. The afternoon heat was strong, so he took out the ice cubes and placed them indoors. After a while, the room became cool. Ding Xirui took out a large bowl, took out some ice cubes, and placed them in the study.

Next, let's make a drink! It's not suitable to eat anything too cold at night, so let's make lychee herbal tea. Put the lychees in the well to cool down, wash the lemons and set aside, and wait for him to come back.

But Lin Mingxuan has not returned yet.

In the yard, the sound of crickets came one after another. Ding Xirui sat at the dining table waiting and gradually felt sleepy. She held her chin with one hand and almost fell asleep.

There was a sudden commotion in the main courtyard, and Ding Xirui woke up with a start.

"Miss, something seems to have happened?" Banxia was also startled.

"Let's go and take a look." Ding Xirui stood up and almost fell down. He maintained the same posture for a long time and one side of his body felt numb.

"Miss, be careful." Banxia hurried over to help.

"It's okay, let's go." The two of them walked quickly towards the main courtyard.

Dashun is gathering his servants:

"Brothers, our Lin family has always been good and virtuous, but now someone is bullying us. Grab your weapons and follow me."

"Dashun!" A cold voice came, shocking the whole audience. It was Mrs. Lin.

"what happened?"

"A bunch of people came to the door, calling out names and cursing the master, the eldest and second young masters. We approached to ask, and were beaten up."

"Why exactly? Have you found out?"

"That bunch of scoundrels only know how to curse and beat people, and they can't get any answers."

"Dashun, take two people, go out through the kitchen corner door, and go to the clinic to find the master and the young master."

"Dazhong, take two people with you to the government office and ask the officials to come."

"Others, guard the gate and the wall, and keep your weapons ready. But no one is allowed to act rashly. Everything will wait until the master comes back."

"Yes."

After Mrs. Lin gave her instructions, everyone dispersed and went back to their respective duties.

Ding Xirui and Wen Yuexin walked to Mrs. Lin's side, and no one spoke. Outside the yard, the group of scoundrels were still shouting and cursing, which was unbearable to hear.

About quarter of an hour later, Dashun came back with Master Lin and Lin Mingyuan. Ding Xirui looked at them a few times but did not see Lin Mingxuan.

"I'm sorry to have scared you." Mr. Lin said to Mrs. Lin and his two daughters-in-law.

Mrs. Lin did not respond, and Ding Wen and the other man bowed slightly.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps at the door, and the shouting and cursing disappeared instantly. It seemed that the police had come.

"Dashun, go to the door and check the situation." Mrs. Lin ordered.

"Yes." Dashun peeked out through the crack in the door and saw that the scoundrels had all run away.

"Master, Madam, everyone has run away."

"Knock, knock, knock", the door rang, it was the police knocking.

Dashun saw it and turned around to tell everyone in the Lin family.

"Open the door." said Mr. Lin.

The bailiffs entered the courtyard, all of them sweating profusely. Mrs. Lin quickly ordered someone to bring them some cold tea.

"Doctor Lin, this group of people is probably here specifically to blackmail your family. If you don't pay compensation, there will be no settlement." said the leading officer.

"Thank you for coming to help. I, Jishiditang, have never harmed anyone's life, so we cannot give in easily."

"I wonder if Qian has any other tricks. There are not many people in the yamen, and we have other official business to attend to, so we can't stay for long. Please pay attention to us. As for those scoundrels, we will catch them sooner or later."

"Thank you!" Master Lin and Lin Mingyuan bowed.

"We'll take our leave first." Several yamen runners returned the greeting and left the Lin family.

Everyone was panicking.

"Master, what happened in the clinic? Where is Mingxuan?" Mrs. Lin asked, but she didn't look at Master Lin.

"Mom, let's go inside and talk." Wen Yuexin said softly.

Mrs. Lin turned around and saw that Lin Mingyuan was being supported by someone and seemed to be a little exhausted. She felt sorry for him and said, "Let's talk inside."

Everyone went into the house and sat down. Master Lin looked at Ding Xirui and said, "Mingxuan is still in the clinic at the moment and will be back later. Don't worry."

Ding Xirui lowered his head and bowed. The old were old, the weak were weak, so Lin Mingxuan naturally had to do more.

"Yesterday, a young man named Qian came to the clinic with his father on his back. I felt his pulse and knew that his father didn't have much time left, so I told him the truth. But he cried bitterly and begged me to let him have more time to fulfill his filial duty. So I pressed the acupuncture points on his father to help relieve his physical pain. Unexpectedly, this afternoon, the man came to our door with a group of scoundrels, saying that our Lin Family Clinic had killed his father, and demanded compensation from us."

"When my father was treating the patient, Mingxuan and I were there, and there were no dangerous acupuncture points. If there was any danger, it would have occurred on the spot and would not have waited until today," Lin Mingyuan added.

"This is clearly a medical dispute, so abominable." Ding Xirui clenched his fists.
