Space Food Storage: Daily Travel

After settling down, Liu Yuhan stopped eating at the pharmacy at noon. Liu's family would prepare three meals a day, and Liu Yuhan only needed to focus on studying medicine.

Liu Yuhan and A Fei are now learning how to take pulses and diagnose patients from their master. If there is a patient, the master will ask them to do it if they can do it, and he will provide guidance from the side.

Start with observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation, which are also known as the four examinations.

Observational diagnosis mainly involves observing the patient's overall condition, including his spirit, complexion, shape, and posture. Through these observations, changes in internal organs can be detected.

Of course, this kind of observation is achieved through a large amount of medical practice and the accumulation of relevant observation aspects, so that the lesions of internal organs can be detected more accurately, including observing the complexion, the tongue coating and changes in the tongue quality.

The second aspect is smell, which includes two aspects: first, hearing sounds, and second, smelling odors with the nose.

Listening to the sound mainly involves listening to the pitch and intensity of the patient's voice. Smelling is mainly used to smell certain odors, such as the body odor and breath odor of the sick person, which are different from those of ordinary people and can also be helpful for diagnosis.

The next step is asking questions. The so-called questions include a lot of content, including asking about the patient's family history, medical history, cause of onset, course of onset, daily dietary preferences, including defecation and urination. Through these, we can comprehensively understand the patient's specific condition.

The last step is palpation. Palpation involves feeling the pulse and palpating the skin. Palpation, also known as pulse diagnosis, involves feeling the pulse with your fingers to detect any health problems.

In ancient times when there was no ultrasound or imaging, the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry and palpation were the main aspects of understanding the condition of the disease.

The master told her not to be anxious, as studying medicine was a long journey and there was always someone better. Looking back on his fifty years of studying medicine, he did not necessarily grasp the essence of it.

Deji Hall is about a 10-minute walk from the courtyard where she lives. Besides cooking, Liu would decorate the courtyard and practice martial arts and calligraphy.

They paid a year's fee, so they had to clean it up to make it more comfortable to live in.

Liu Yuhan took out two chairs from the space that she had found from somewhere and placed them under the pomegranate tree. The wild pomegranate tree was in full bloom, with small white flowers, and some even had small green fruits. She would sit there and chat with her mother when she had nothing to do.

There was about one acre of land in the backyard where the cowshed was built. The owner must have planted some flowers and plants there before, but they had dried up. Liu cleared the land and took cucumber, tomato and cabbage seeds from her daughter and planted them. This one acre of land was enough for them to eat.

Although my daughter has vegetables, I feel more at ease when I can see them.

After airing each room for a few days, it has become dry. Take out the extra quilts and wash them for later use. If someone comes to your house, there will be a place to stay.

The kitchen was also kept very cozy by Liu, with things neatly arranged and the kitchen utensils all half-new.

Liu Yuhan went to study medicine during the day, and when he came back in the afternoon he would have a quarter of an hour chat with his mother.

Liu Yuhan could never catch up with her mother's martial arts. She practiced martial arts just to protect herself and keep fit.

After their martial arts exchange, they ate the dinner prepared by Liu. The two of them cooked simple meals. They both had similar tastes, liking fish and vegetables.

When Liu had nothing to do, she would either practice martial arts or calligraphy, so her skills naturally improved by leaps and bounds.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye they had been in the city for ten days.

Liu Yuhan returned to the courtyard at 5 pm as usual.

Her mother did not greet her as usual, and the gate was not locked. She pushed the door open and locked it.

I could faintly hear another voice coming from the main room besides my mother's. The voice was hoarse and should be the voice of an old woman.

When Liu saw her daughter coming back, she came out of the main room, and the woman followed closely behind. Both of them had slightly red eyes.

"Xiao Han, you're back. This is Grandma Qin. Come over and call someone."

"Hello, Grandma Qin." Liu Yuhan called to the woman with a smile.

The woman was in her early fifties, wearing a long, cyan gown with a purplish collar and black shoes. She wore a patterned silver hairpin in her hair. Her face was kind and weathered, with silver hair and wrinkles that reflected a tumultuous past.

"Oh, this, is this the young lady? She looks so similar, exactly like the madam when she was young..." Grandma Qin said excitedly.

"Aunt Qin, this is my eldest daughter, Liu Han. I also have a younger daughter and three other children. I'll bring them all to you someday."

"That's great, Miss. If the Madam and the others knew you were in the capital, they would be very happy! How many people have they sent to look for you privately... My poor Madam... Woo woo..."

"Aunt Qin, please don't get too excited. You need to tell me some things slowly. I fell on my head and I can't remember some things."

"Miss...how did you get hurt? What should we do?" Grandma Qin said in a trembling voice with tears on her face.

Liu patted her back soothingly.

"It's getting late. Can I take you back to say hello first and then pick you up and come over? Can you tell me more about it tonight?"

"Of course you can, miss. Okay, I'm going to go back and tell you. I'll be by your side from now on."

Liu pulled Liu Yuhan to the side and looked at her with a complicated expression.

"Mom, who is she?" Liu Yuhan whispered.

"Mom will take your Aunt Qin back first. We will be back later. Aunt Qin was my mother's maid who came with her as a dowry. She is also the one who raised me since I was a child. She is considered a member of our Liu family."

"Okay, mom, then you guys go first. I'll cook dinner at home and wait for you to come back."

It turned out to be someone from my grandparents' side. Could this tell me where they are? Looking at my mother's expression, she seemed both happy and sad, not knowing what was going on.

Mrs. Liu and Grandma Qin drove away in a carriage.

Liu Yuhan suppressed the doubts in her heart and went to the kitchen to cook.

She cooked three servings of white rice. She also braised a red fish from her space, made egg and scallion pancakes, stir-fried bok choy, and a loofah and egg soup. Usually, the two of them only cooked two dishes, but today they added two more.

Just as she finished preparing the meal, Liu and Grandma Qin returned. Liu entered her room carrying a cloth-wrapped box, and Grandma Qin followed with a large bundle.

The three of them finished their dinner in silence. Liu Yuhan had already boiled some water, and Liu and Grandma Qin washed up before going into their rooms.

Mrs. Liu asked Liu Yuhan to rest early and talk about it tomorrow.

Liu Yuhan returned to the room and entered the space.

Her ten acres of rice have been planted.

I visited the medicinal herbs section and saw that the most valuable black ginseng was growing well. It had been planted for three months and would be ready for harvest in a little over a year. Black ginseng takes about three years to plant and only needs one and a half years in a cool place.

Bamboo ginseng takes a longer time, 4-5 years, and needs at least two years in the air before it can be harvested. Other medicinal herbs generally take 1-5 years to mature. A small batch can be harvested at the end of the year.

Liu Yuhan looked at the overflowing space and felt very happy. She was also happy for Liu, as she had finally found clues about her family.
