Everyone ate something, but Doctor Xiao Hu didn't eat anything. He first wrote out a prescription, then personally boiled the medicine and fed it to the female beggar.

Then he picked up the scissors and continued to process the medicinal materials.

I saw him moving his hands very quickly, cutting a kind of yellow long branch-like medicinal herb into pieces and catching them in a basket.

In a short while, he had finished cutting a whole branch, then picked up another one and continued cutting.

He didn't get annoyed even though the crowd was making a lot of noise around him.

You can see that he has a good temper.

Granny Zhang looked at Xia Daohua's expression and called everyone to eat. When the bucket of soy milk was empty and the two bundles of buns and sesame cakes were eaten up, Granny Zhang got up, took the bucket and bundles and went out:

"I'm going to return these things to their owners. I'll be back shortly."

Before leaving, he said to a few neighbors who were eager to help and the idlers who had come to watch the fun:

"Don't crowd in here.

This place is so small, how can it accommodate all of you old people? Go home and do whatever you need to do!

Everyone laughed, said a few more words and then dispersed.

Gao Jinxi said to Doctor Hu, "Doctor Hu, I'm going to go home first. This door panel belongs to my family. If you don't need it later, just ask someone to call me over to get it."

Doctor Hu nodded at him: "Okay."

The only people left in the room were Doctor Hu, his brother who was also his medicine boy, Xia Daohua and the others, as well as the female beggar and her two children.

After a good meal, the two children gathered around their mother, looking worried. Seeing that their mother showed no sign of waking up, they went to see Doctor Hu again with timid faces, but they didn't dare to speak.

Xia Yujiao couldn't bear it, so she mustered up the courage to ask Doctor Hu:

"Excuse me, Doctor Hu, how long will it take for this woman to wake up?"

Except for Doctor Hu and his brother, seven pairs of eyes were staring at him. Doctor Hu felt a little pressured for a moment.

Doctor Hu thought for a moment, glanced at the hourglass on the table, and said:

"Give her another half hour. If she still doesn't wake up, I'll give her another acupuncture treatment. If she still doesn't wake up after that, you'll have to seek help from someone else."

The children quieted down, mainly because they were tired from walking around and eating.

After the fight and the rescue, the excitement wore off, and they all felt a bit listless. Xia Daohua arranged for them to sit down and rest, then quietly asked if they wanted to go home.

Xia Yujiao then realized that her nephews and nieces were still young and were probably tired. Maybe they were also a little scared and felt very embarrassed.

Seeing that she was about to blame herself again, Xia Daohua hurriedly comforted her:

"Aunt, you've been amazing today. I wanted to take charge of this matter, but I'm not as decisive as you, so I'm still hesitating.

If you hadn't been so decisive, this lady's condition would have been delayed."

Doctor Hu had been very quiet until now, but now he actually joined in the conversation: "Yes, if you had come half a day later, I wouldn't have dared to admit you."

Xia Yujiao glanced at Xia Daohua gratefully, knowing full well that her niece was trying to comfort her. But since Doctor Hu had actually said that, it seemed she hadn't done anything wrong.

Xia Daohua then said to Doctor Hu:

"I'd like to trouble you to check on my brothers and sisters-in-law to see if they've been frightened or anything. If they need medicine, it would be best to prescribe something less bitter."

As she spoke, she handed Doctor Hu a purse, which at first glance looked almost exactly the same as the one she had handed to Grandma Zhang before.

But in fact, these purses were custom-made by her and Jiang. She told Jiang that she sold a batch on her behalf and kept two for herself.

But in fact, she "bought" them all herself.

Jiang’s embroidery counter actually doesn’t have a very good market.

Customers who come to Daohuaxiang are usually wealthy or high-class, and most of them are well-off. Most of these families have embroiderers at home and are reluctant to use products from outside.

Very few people, seeing that Jiang's embroidery is beautiful and outstanding, are willing to buy one or two pieces to appreciate, but they will not come every day.

Since there are not sales every day, Jiang is bound to be a little angry.

So, every once in a while, Xia Daohua would quietly "buy" a portion and then pay Jiang a sum of money.

So that Jiang won’t get anxious because of waiting too long.

Jiang had no idea of the role of the summer rice flowers in this, and she actually thought that someone appreciated her embroidery.

This mood also made her feel cheerful and she looked a lot younger.

Xia Daohua placed most of the items she bought from Jiang in the space supermarket.

Some were sold directly to the space supermarket, while others were simply placed in the storage area for personal use or given as gifts.

Anyway, as long as I don't take those things out and show them in front of Jiang every day, I don't have to worry about her discovering my little tricks.

Giving money directly to Jiang is certainly a way to express filial piety, but Xia Daohua feels that giving Jiang an opportunity to make money on her own is actually more meaningful.

Doctor Hu took one last look at the exquisite purse, but without hesitation, he took it and placed it on the table. "Let me see. You don't necessarily need to take medicine."

He asked the three children to open their mouths, checked their tongues, and then opened their eyelids. He also observed their hands and felt their pulses. Then, with a smile, he made them a pot of hawthorn water and said, "It's nothing serious. You just ate too much. Help digest it."

The children each drank a bowl of hawthorn water, and their little faces became rosy and their eyes sparkled. Perhaps because they had rested for a while, they were not as listless as before.

At this moment, the female beggar groaned and woke up.

The two children immediately shouted, "Mom!"

The female beggar took a while to come to her senses and found herself lying on the door panel, struggling to get up.

Doctor Hu stepped forward and said, "Don't move."

He took her pulse and said:

"Fortunately, the fever is gone.

I'll prescribe you a prescription. Drink it for about three days. If the rashes disappear, you don't need to drink it anymore."

After writing the prescription, Doctor Hu placed the brush on the pen holder, blew gently on the ink on the prescription, and said to Xia Yujiao and Xia Daohua:

"For this prescription, are you going to get the medicine from me or go to another pharmacy?"

Xia Daohua said, "I'll just get the medicine from you."

Doctor Hu smiled:

"Okay, the consultation fee is one hundred coins, the emergency medicine fee is one hundred and fifty coins, and the three prescriptions cost a total of six hundred coins. The hawthorn water is three coins a bowl, so the total cost is eight hundred and sixty-five coins."

Xia Daohua opened her purse and counted out eight strings of 100-coin copper coins, then counted out 65 coins separately and handed them to Doctor Hu with both hands.

Doctor Hu took it and said to the beggar woman, Xia Daohua and others:

"Her illness isn't difficult to treat, and the water nettle poison isn't difficult to cure either, but she can't continue to abuse her body like this. She needs to rest for a while."
