271 Learn the Secret of Sister Chen's Mother-in-law

Shen Jiaren still didn't understand and looked at Nurse Xiao Zhao with doubts.

Nurse Xiao Zhao saw that Shen Jiaren still looked confused, and explained, "Yes, it is just as you understand it."

We doctors, especially those who deal with Chinese medicine, will not prescribe medicine to others easily. If it is Western medicine, the doctor must confirm whether it is safe to take.

But if it is traditional Chinese medicine, it is absolutely not allowed. You must ask the doctor for confirmation.

But Sister Chen and her mother-in-law are not like that. They rely on the fact that they know how to use medicinal food and that we are a hospital, and they always come to us to ask for some herbs to make soup with.

But in our place, there is no such thing as stewing soup.

Later, someone told us that Sister Chen's mother-in-law relied on her work in the hospital to bring home anything, even medicine.

It would be fine if she had just taken these things to her own home, but the key point is that she used them to exchange for other things.

What are you exchanging for? They are all for sale.

If someone hadn't come to us, we wouldn't have known.

Fortunately, the incident was not a big deal at the time, and the other party just had a stomachache. Otherwise, those who were involved might have been in big trouble. &34;

Shen Jiaren couldn't believe it after hearing this. Was she just prescribing medicine? Was she practicing medicine? No, what did this have to do with medicated food and selling medicine? Or did her mother-in-law know medicine?

Shen Jiaren asked, "Does Sister Chen's mother-in-law know medicine? Or does Sister Chen know medicine? How dare she sell medicine so casually?"

Nurse Xiao Zhao curled her lips and said, "It is said that Sister Chen's mother-in-law used to be in charge of cooking in the courtyard of a wealthy family. She can cook soup, medicinal food and other such things.

He said that medicine and food are inseparable, and he knew a little about medicine.

In addition, the Chen family often heard doctors in the hospital talk about how to use Western medicine, so they also had some exposure to it.

Anyway, they just sell stew to the public, no, they just make their own food and exchange it with others for other things. &34;

Shen Jiaren still didn't quite understand, "This medicinal diet and stew are two different things, right?

Soup is soup, and medicinal food is medicinal food. How can they be the same thing? &34;

Nurse Xiao Zhao answered casually, "Who knows? Anyway, my aunt said that it is only available in the south, and it is indeed known only by wealthy families."

But my aunt said that Sister Chen's mother-in-law did have something, saying that she had some ancestral medicinal recipes, and told me not to look down on her. After all, the heritage of some wealthy families is the result of hundreds of years of accumulation and is really impressive.

I think that if it can be said that it is inherited from ancestors, it must have been in a wealthy family for a long time. Who knows how many good things there are in those wealthy families. &34;

Shen Jiaren didn't know what to say. Did this count as accidentally knowing a secret?

Seeing that Shen Jiaren didn't say anything, Nurse Xiao Zhao asked directly, "Don't be silent, Sister Chen didn't ask you for anything? Didn't she ask you to help get something? Didn't she say that you just came and some things are indeed difficult to get? How did you refuse?"

Shen Jiaren thought for a moment and said, "I really don't know. I really didn't feel what you said. Maybe I did, or maybe I was thinking about other things at the time, so I just let it go without answering."

The main reason is that I really didn't feel it, and I really just arrived, so some things are really hard to get. &34;
