Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 83

"That's right, but that's the capital..."

The farthest place Old Master Jiang had ever been to was Chunzhou County. He had heard that the capital city was a place blessed by dragon energy, with good weather and good harvests, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

The little old man's filter for the capital and imperial power is extremely thick.

Jiang Suying could only say, "What about the capital? Let's not talk about other things. Let's talk about the climate. The capital is in the north. There will definitely be heavy snow in winter. It has rained heavily for several months. People are short of food and clothing. They are weak and frail. If there is heavy snow in winter, the roads will be blocked. People can't go out and goods can't come in. They will either starve to death or freeze to death!"

Even if you are an emperor, you will die if you have nothing to eat.

Old Master Jiang listened to Jiang Suying's voice and thought about what she said before, and his mind unconsciously filled in -

Jiang Yipei's family was in the capital city, helpless in the cold winter, being robbed and stolen from, with nowhere to turn for help, and finally freezing to death and starving to death, hugging each other. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and said hurriedly, "It's good to be home, just stay at home, and don't go anywhere! It doesn't matter if you are an official or not!"

Being an official is not as important as being a human being. What's the point of being an official if you don't have a life.

After another quarter of an hour, Jiang Suying removed the silver needle and gave him moxibustion again.

With his knees warm, Old Master Jiang actually fell asleep comfortably.

"Thank you, Yingniang." Second Uncle came out with a coarse cloth purse: "How much is the consultation fee? I'll pay you."

"Just give me one hundred and twenty cents." Jiang Suying answered while packing.

The money for the medicine should have been paid with the prescription, but Hu Zi didn't bring any money with him.

"One hundred and twenty...wen?" Second Aunt's wife couldn't help but raise her voice: "Twenty wen for one dose of medicine? We don't want six doses, can we take three? Boil it once, pack it out, boil it again, then mix it up and drink it in two times. This is how we drank it before!"

My father-in-law used to take the medicine prescribed by Doctor Jiang, and a dose only cost twelve cents!

Ah this...

Jiang Suying was stunned for a moment. "In order to make the medicine more effective, it is not recommended to boil the herbs again. After all, Grandpa's illness does not require too much medicine. You can stop after six doses of medicine. The follow-up is mainly acupuncture and moxibustion. One dose of medicine is not twenty cents, but ten cents. The rest is the cost of my home visit and acupuncture and moxibustion."

In order to save money, ordinary people usually boil the boiled medicine again once, twice or even three times. The more times it is boiled, the weaker the efficacy of the medicine.

The prescription given to Old Master Jiang did not contain any precious medicinal materials. A dose of medicine cost only ten cents, which was completely affordable for Old Master Jiang's family, so Jiang Suying did not think of saving.

After all, the medical consultation and prescription still retain modern habits. Jiang Suying has never thought about this problem. It seems that she should be more careful next time she sees a doctor.

The second uncle's wife looked shocked: "Acupuncture and moxibustion are so expensive... or..."

Jiang Suying: “???”

Is it expensive?

Sixty cents includes a home visit, several acupuncture and moxibustion treatments. Her price is so low that it’s almost like charity, okay?

If it weren't for the fact that Old Master Jiang has the closest relationship with his family, the consultation fee would have doubled.

It seems that we need to set a standard for medical fees.

"What do you mean by either or?" Second Uncle glared at Second Uncle's Wife: "What are you thinking, woman? Acupuncture and moxibustion are good for Dad, so any amount of money is fine. It's just the price of three doses of medicine, and it's not like you can't afford it. Just do what Yingniang says, what's there to say!"

As for my second uncle, although he is old, he has my father to support him. He is honest and filial. My second aunt was very angry with him and glared back at him. Although she didn't curse at him, her expression was angry.

"Yingniang, this is the consultation fee. Please count it. Your grandfather will have to trouble you to come home for acupuncture when the time comes." The second uncle gave Jiang Suying a string of copper coins and counted out twenty from another string and gave them to her.

"Okay." Jiang Suying took the money and looked at the medicine the girl brought. She said, "If the medicine is cold and Grandpa hasn't woken up yet, you can warm it up first and wait until he wakes up before taking it. However, there should be at least four hours between two doses of medicine. The diet should be light, avoid spicy food, and don't eat white radish."

"I know, I know. I'll remember it." After sending the person out, the second uncle turned around and pointed at the second uncle's wife's nose. He wanted to scold her, but in the end he still gave her some face in front of his son and daughter-in-law and left angrily.
