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

Chapter 87: A patient with a cold comes to the clinic, Xi Rui is busy memorizing at night

In the clinic, Lin Mingxuan told Mr. Lin and Lin Mingyuan about the corn poisoning incident that occurred at "Wen Xiang Xia Ma".

"Our ancestors had a law that 'if grains are not in season and fruits are not ripe, do not sell porridge in the market.' Today, the court also has severe punishment measures for vendors who adulterate food, but what goes on in your home depends entirely on the individual, so such incidents are still unavoidable." Mr. Lin sighed.

"You knew it was moldy, but you didn't throw it away and continued to eat it. No wonder you got poisoned. This is clearly..." Lin Mingyuan wanted to say, "You asked for it."

Master Lin interrupted him and said, "Don't blame others easily. You two have lived in a peaceful era, your families have never lacked food or clothing, and they are better off than ordinary people, so it's natural that you can't understand. But if the environment is turbulent and the family is poor, even if the things are moldy, it is better than nothing."

Lin Mingyuan lowered his head silently, and he recalled the scene he saw when he went to the orphanage a few days ago. An old man accidentally spilled his rice. Manager Cai told him to serve him another bowl, but he still picked up the rice that fell on the table and the ground with a slight tremor, rinsed it in water and continued to eat. Those old people were all people who had come from turbulent times. Many of them had also planted rice in the fields and understood the preciousness of every grain of food. Although he was not rich, he was indeed a young man who had no worries about food and clothing, and did not understand the hardship of ordinary people's lives.

"Yes, Dad, I understand." He said with a look of shame.

"Well, it's good to know. Don't rush to speak when you encounter something in the future."

"Yes." The two brothers replied.

Lin Mingxuan stood up and said, "Father, big brother. Uncle Luo's family lives in Luonan. Luonan is also growing a lot of corn now. Xi Rui and I have discussed sending him a letter to remind him."

"You have considered it very carefully. It is indeed necessary." Mr. Lin nodded, then turned to Lin Mingyuan and said, "Mingyuan, go write some key points and post them at the door."

"Okay." The two brothers returned to their seats and started writing.

A patient came in. He wrapped himself tightly, coughed incessantly, and kept taking out a handkerchief to wipe his nose.

"Doctor, please help me."

Mr. Lin walked over, asked the patient to sit down, and asked, "How long have you been coughing?"

"Two days."

"Besides coughing and runny nose, are you feeling any other discomfort?"

"My head hurts."

"Okay, stretch out your hand and I'll take your pulse."

The patient holds out his hand.

After a moment, Master Lin said, "You have a cold."

"Doctor, I feel very uncomfortable. Please help me get some medicine."

Mr. Lin did not write a prescription, but continued to ask: "Are your family members also suffering from a cold?"

"No. But this morning, I heard my neighbor coughing a few times, and it seemed that he had gone to see a doctor."

"Okay, I'll write a prescription." Master Lin picked up the pen and quickly wrote down several medicinal herbs. Then he shouted to Mingshi behind the counter:

"Akashi, come get the medicine."

"Okay." Akashi came running over.

While waiting for Mingshi to get the medicine, Master Lin continued to say to the patient: "You should take this medicine for the first three days when you go back. Soak each dose of medicine in three bowls of cold water for 15 minutes. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer for about 15 minutes until it is reduced to one bowl of water. Boil it twice, then mix the two doses and divide it into two bowls. Take one portion in the morning and one portion in the evening after meals. Cold medicine can be warmed in the pot without being boiled again."

"Thank you, doctor. I have made medicine for my mother at home before, so I know this."

"Okay. When you get back, drink plenty of water, get plenty of rest, and keep warm. Also remind your family to be careful not to get sick."

"Thank you, doctor."

He went to the counter, paid, took the medicine and left.

Lin Mingxuan had finished writing the letter. Looking at the patient's back, he asked, "Father, will there be a common cold this winter?"

"It's hard to say. It depends on the weather. Last year it was cold and everything was normal. This year it seems to be normal too. But we have to prepare enough herbs as soon as possible. I wrote to Bencaotang a few days ago, and I think the herbs will arrive soon."

"Yes."

Master Lin paused, then continued, "Xi Rui's injury has healed. You should go to the Ding family tomorrow to see your father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Okay, thank you father." Lin Mingxuan nodded.

On the other side, Ding Xirui was invited by Zheng Shihui and Mr. Zheng to have dinner. Seeing his daughter's changes day by day, Mr. Zheng felt indescribably happy.

"Xi Rui, what should your uncle give you to thank you? You helped Shi Hui lose weight, and now the effect is so obvious. It is a great favor to our Zheng family."

"Uncle, Shihui and I have known each other since childhood. We are friends. You don't have to be so polite."

"Dad, don't just say thank you. Didn't you say you would give the shop to Xirui?" Zheng Shihui interrupted.

"Shihui, don't talk nonsense." Ding Xirui quickly stopped her.

"It's not a bad idea to give you a shop, Xirui, as long as you ask." Mr. Zheng said with a smile.

"Uncle, it's really not necessary." Ding Xirui felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Otherwise, I can just give you some silver and you can use it to buy anything." Mr. Zheng suggested.

"Uncle, you are so polite." Ding Xirui felt a little headache.

"If you don't want anything, I will feel really bad. If this goes on for a long time, you will get sick." Mr. Zheng spoke again.

Ding Xirui was helpless, paused, and said: "Uncle, can you let me think about it for a while."

"No problem, think about it carefully and tell me when you've made up your mind." Mr. Zheng smiled.

"Thank you uncle."

But what should I ask for? This is indeed worrying.

When he returned home in the evening, Ding Xirui threw the difficult problem to Lin Mingxuan.

"Why don't you want the shop? It's also good to have money. We are not rich anyway." Lin Mingxuan said with a wicked smile.

"Don't joke, be serious." Ding Xirui hit him.

Lin Mingxuan put his hand on his chin and fell into deep thought. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Have you thought of anything?" Ding Xirui asked quickly.

"Well, I thought of one. Let me tell you. Winter is coming. My father said that we should be prepared to prevent the outbreak of epidemic colds. Jishiditang is buying medicinal materials. I wonder if we can ask Boss Zheng to donate some money specifically for such a thing. No matter which season the epidemic occurs, as long as it occurs, we can use this money to help the poorer people."

Is this a bit like the charity projects of later generations? If it can be operated continuously, it will not be an occasional charity, but a conscious and continuous action, which is very good!

Ding Xirui smiled, she walked over, shook Lin Mingxuan's shoulder, and said:

"That's a great idea, you're so smart!"

"Is it okay?" Lin Mingxuan felt a headache from her shaking and held her hand.

"Yes, absolutely. Besides, Boss Zheng is an influential figure in Luocheng County. If he takes the lead, maybe other merchants will follow suit."

"Okay, next time you go to Zheng's house, you don't have to worry." Lin Mingxuan took her hand and held it gently.

"Yeah." Ding Xirui nodded.

"If this thing succeeds, Jishidiang can do it together. Father and eldest brother will definitely support it."

"Thank you."

One thing was temporarily settled, and both of them smiled. Lin Mingxuan gently stroked Ding Xirui's injured arm and asked, "It doesn't hurt at all, right?"

"Well, it's all scabby." Ding Xirui said as he raised his arms high.

"Can you let me, a doctor, take a look?" Lin Mingxuan asked.

"No need, Banxia said it's all fine." Ding Xirui lowered his head embarrassedly.

"Okay. Now that we're done, let's go to my father-in-law's house tomorrow."

"tomorrow?"

"Yes. Father also said today that your injury has healed and it's time to go home and let your parents-in-law rest assured."

"Well, it's just right to bring all the gifts to them."

"Yeah." Lin Mingxuan nodded. He turned his head to look at the clepsydra and asked:

"Do you want to rest early today or read a book?"

"Go read a book."

The two went to the study.

Lin Mingxuan picked up a book, handed it to Ding Xirui, and said, "During this period of time, you should read "Ode to Medicinal Properties" first. I've seen you read it before. This time you need to memorize it. There are more than 2,000 words in total. Is that okay?"

"no problem."

“How many days will it take to memorize it?”

"I don't know." Ding Xirui scratched his head.

When she was a child, she could memorize things very quickly and remember them very firmly. However, since she entered university, her memorization ability has not improved as much as before. It is common for her to forget what she has just learned the next day.

"I have things to do on weekdays, so let's set it for ten days. I'll come check after ten days."

"I'll try my best." Ding Xirui nodded, feeling a little melancholy.

"What if I can't finish memorizing it?" she asked.

"If you can't finish reciting it, I will punish you..." He looked at her up and down, feeling sorry for her.

"Try it first. I believe you."

Lin Mingxuan pushed her to the desk and asked her to sit down.

"You won't be using your desk today?"

"I'll sit over there." He pointed to the round table in the middle of the study.

"That would be uncomfortable."

"It's okay with me. The one who needs to work hard now is you."

Lin Mingxuan picked up the medical record, walked to the round table and looked at it by himself.

"The Poem of Medicinal Properties" is divided into four parts according to "cold, hot, warm and neutral", and Ding Xirui read it in order.

"Rhinoceros horn relieves heart heat; antelope clears the lungs and liver..."

Ding Xirui recalled a TV series he had watched when he was a child. The heroine was convicted and exiled to a small island. She was unwilling to accept this and wanted to return to the palace for revenge, but the only way for her was to study medicine and become a female doctor.

In desperation, she followed the only female doctor on the island to learn medicine. The female doctor was very strict and asked her to recite several thick medical books at the beginning. She questioned that there were many parts that she couldn't understand and couldn't recite. The female doctor said bluntly: "You can recite even if you don't understand." During the examination, if the heroine couldn't recite, she would be severely whipped on her calves.

Ding Xirui glanced at Lin Mingxuan, silently touched his calf, then patted his face and began to read in a low voice.
