Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 65: Diagnosis at the Pharmacy

He took his hand back and said calmly, "Don't be nervous. It's just a little uterine cold. It can be cured. Don't touch cold water in the future, especially in winter."

"Your body is a little weak. Go back and eat more good food to slowly replenish it. It has been difficult to conceive in the past two years. I will prescribe some medicine for you."

"Don't you need to prescribe some nourishing medicine? How long will it take for me to recover by eating healthy food? Will taking medicine heal faster?"

The doctor replied to her while writing the prescription: "Miss, don't worry. If you take medicine, you have to take it for a month or two. Medicine is three-quarters toxic. If you can take food, I still hope that you can take food instead of taking medicine."

"If the girl's family can eat something good every day, she can be cured in less than a year, but it depends on the individual."

Ji Wenhe understood that he saw that she was wearing clothes full of patches and thought that the family had no money, so he wanted her to go back and have some food supplements.

"Doctor, what should I eat more of? Is there anything I should avoid?"

"Eat three meals a day, chew slowly, eat oily food, meat, eggs... Eat less raw and cold food, and it's best not to eat it."

After writing the prescription, he put down his pen.

"I've added some warming and nourishing medicine in it. If the girl wants to take some medicine to recuperate, you can. Come back after you finish these doses of medicine."

Ji Wenhe took the prescription. The doctor's handwriting was so sloppy that she couldn't understand a single word.

"Doctor, am I really okay? I fell into the water some time ago. Will there be any hidden injuries in my body?"

The doctor smiled gently and said, "If you don't believe in my medical skills, you can go to another hospital to have your pulse checked."

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I'm just a little scared. Please don't misunderstand me, doctor."

"Miss, don't worry. Worrying can easily lead to illness. Follow my instructions and you will be able to get well. You can choose between food or medicine."

He saw that her family was not rich and she was a woman, so he was afraid that she would not be welcomed at home.

He came to see a doctor without any family members with him. I guess he came here secretly without his family's knowledge.

After hearing this, Ji Wenhe's worries were swept away: "Thank you, doctor."

He shook his head: "Girl, go to the counter to get the medicine."

"it is good."

She came out, ran straight to the counter, and handed the prescription to the medicine boy.

The medicine boy took the prescription and looked at it carefully: "Miss, please wait a moment."

There are five packets of medicine in total, costing one hundred and thirty cents.

Ji Wenhe asked curiously, "Are my medicines very cheap in the pharmacy?"

The herbalist nodded: "Yes girl, some herbs can be more effective if replaced with other herbs, but they are expensive."

"If I change it to medium-grade medicinal materials, how much would it cost?"

"From 400 to 800 wen, and the more expensive ones are a few taels, a hundred taels, or even a thousand taels."

Well, no wonder people don’t go to see a doctor when they are sick. She has to do hundreds of injections to make her money back after going to the pharmacy.

After paying the money, I took the medicine bag to the cloth shop, then returned to Jinxiufang with the cloth and waited for them to come over.

Ji Wenhe stood at the door and looked for a while, then remembered that there was one more thing, so he went into the house to ask the boss.

"Boss, where can I buy wooden beads for making jewelry?"

"There are a lot of them. There are many stalls on the street. They sell all kinds of beads. They are very cheap."

She nodded and continued to wait for them outside the house.

It was almost noon when I finally saw two people coming over.

Ji Wenhe hurried over and asked impatiently, "How is it going? Did you make the deal?"

Looking at the smile on his lips, I knew that the matter was settled.

Zhu Danian patted the basket and whispered, "Now that I've bought it, you guys have to do this business well."

They negotiated the price with the boss and had a lot of time to talk.

"Where's Yuanshan? Hasn't he come to see you yet?"

"No, he should be here soon. There are fewer people on the street."

The two men put the basket on the edge of the steps and waited.

Shen Rongshan looked at her and said, "A pound of coarse salt costs thirty-seven cents. I only bought a pound. There should be few people buying salt."

"Black flour is two cents a pound. If you buy thirty pounds, we can sell it for three cents a pound. Salt is sold by ounce."

One pound costs sixteen taels, the lowest market price for coarse salt is forty, and black flour costs four cents per pound.

Black noodles are the cheapest and are a mixture of inferior beans, cornmeal, etc.

It tastes rough, but it can keep people from getting hungry. In times of famine, it is the most common food that people can buy.

But because the ingredients are of poor quality, for example, if the beans and corn have been eaten by insects, they will not throw them away but grind them into flour directly.

I heard that some unscrupulous merchants would throw the damp and moldy things directly into it, grind them into flour, and then sell them to the outside.

Families that can afford brown rice generally won't buy black flour.

Ji Wenhe was a little worried: "Brother Shen, Uncle Danian, do you think this boss will grind moldy beans and corn into flour and sell it together? If someone eats it and gets hurt, we can't afford it."

Song Danian assured, "Don't worry, I know the owner of this shop too. I often buy things from him. He is a man of conscience."

"They also supply restaurants, so they wouldn't do such a wicked thing. You're talking about that kind of small shop, they often do this kind of thing."

Generally, big shops won’t do this kind of thing, because if something goes wrong, they will no longer have business and they don’t want to ruin their reputation.

Shen Rongshan agreed: "Well, big shops don't dare to do that. If their reputation is ruined, they will no longer be able to do business."

Hearing them say this, Ji Wenhe felt relieved: "That's good, we will go to the village to sell it tomorrow."

I glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw Shen Yuanshan coming over: "He's here."

The two looked behind them and saw him running towards them with a smile on his face. He had sold a lot of the bracelets on the bamboo poles.

"Uncle Da Nian, Big Brother, Sister-in-law, sorry to have kept you waiting. Have you bought your things?"

"I bought it." Shen Rongshan looked at the two baskets, "You carry one, Master has his own basket to carry."

When he came, the master helped him carry one basket and he held his own basket in his hands.

"I also bought a lot of things. Can the basket still hold them all?" Ji Wenhe looked over.

He nodded: "Yes, go get the things."

After packing all the things, Shen Yuan put all the remaining bracelets that had not been sold into the basket.

"Sister-in-law, I sold sixty-three coins today, and there are still many places I haven't visited, otherwise I could sell more."

He handed her the small cloth bag containing the copper coins.

Ji Wenhe took it and said with a smile, "It sold more than I expected, but this thing is not like food, the girls just want something new."

"I'll go buy some different colored threads and come back to sell them next time there's a market. We'll make fewer bracelets in the future, or even no bracelets at all."

After people in the town saw it, some girls figured out how to tie the knot, and they went to the shops to buy thread and tie the knot themselves.

After selling it two or three times, I guess fewer and fewer people will buy it.

I went to the boss and bought twine of different colors. After paying, I went outside.

Shen Rongshan took the basket from her hand: "Wen He, I'll take you to see a doctor."
