Juanjuan, whose adoptive parents had died, was sold by her uncle for ten silver dollars into the Warlord's Mansion to bring good luck to the severely ill only son, Si Jinchen.
She thought...
Chapter 128 Sister Qiaoqiao learns
Governor's Office.
Doctor Huai came early in the afternoon and brought red envelopes for the children, two silver dollars for each child.
But the children were so happy that they said a lot of auspicious words to him.
Doctor Huai kept smiling when the children talked about it.
"Doctor Huai, come and sit down." Old Madam Si smiled and invited him to sit in the living room, letting the children play by themselves.
Si Tian brought him some tea: "Today everyone in the family is on holiday and out for some fun, so I can only let you taste my tea-making skills."
"I am honored to have the Second Master personally make tea for me." Doctor Huai took the teacup and thanked him.
"Do you have any ideas about the easy-to-carry medicine that Juanjuan mentioned today?" Old Madam Si knew the purpose of his visit and didn't intend to talk about anything else.
Doctor Huai: "The first thing I thought of was pills. Western medicine can be made into pills, so Chinese medicine should be able to do so as well. The only problem is storage."
"Also, I want to make it into pills, and I need to think of a way to preserve it."
Si Tian: "I think there is another kind of granule."
"Granules?" Doctor Huai was unfamiliar with this term.
"Western medicine has powders, but not granules. I wonder if it's possible to turn decoctions into granules that can be taken with just boiled water, eliminating the hassle of decocting the medicine."
Madam Si expressed her thoughts.
Doctor Huai frowned and thought seriously. He needed to verify all these things, but the storage method was not easy to solve.
"I can try, but I don't have a way to solve the problem of storing the medicine."
"I'll find a way. You can try the tablets and pills first. The granules might be a little difficult to take. We'll consider all factors before making a decision."
Si Tian also felt that the granule might be the most difficult one, but once it was successful, it would solve the problem of many ordinary people taking medicine when they were sick.
Now, except for the medicine garden of Doctor Huai, all other medicine gardens under their names are in the same situation as Doctor Huai's medicine garden.
They grow as soon as they are picked and mature as soon as they are planted, so the storage of Chinese medicinal materials has become a problem.
If these medicinal materials are not stored properly and become damp, they can no longer be used. The best way is to find a way to process them into finished products.
Doctor Huai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and try it. I make pills often, so it's not difficult. If Second Master can solve the storage problem, that would be great."
"As for the pills and the powder, it might take me some time."
"Okay, I will find a way to solve the storage problem of the medicines." Si Tian agreed.
Juanjuan and the others saw Doctor Huai was about to leave, and they all ran over to see him off: "Grandpa Huai, are you leaving?"
Doctor Huai looked at them with a smile and said, "Yes, do you want to go to the medicine store with grandpa?"
"The medicine doesn't smell good." Juanjuan's little head shook like a rattle, and he hid behind Si Jinchen, as if he was afraid of being caught by Doctor Huai and taken to the pharmacy.
"Doctor Huai, stop teasing her. This girl is most afraid of medicine. When she sees it, she runs faster than anyone else." Si Tian walked over with a smile.
"I also want to say that if you want to study medicine, you can learn from me." Doctor Huai really likes these children.
However, the children in his family have average medical talent, and it is unknown whether his medical skills can be passed down.
Juanjuan didn't know what she was thinking so she pushed Baiqiao out: "Sister Qiaoqiao, learn from me."
"Huh?" Bai Qiao was stunned. She quickly waved her hands and said, "I, I can't do this."
Si Tian looked at Juanjuan, then at Bai Qiao, and finally at Doctor Huai.
Doctor Huai didn't care whether Baiqiao was a servant or not: "Your name is Baiqiao?"
Bai Qiao nodded quickly: "Yes."
"Do you want to try it?" Doctor Huai didn't know why he asked this.
However, he believed that sometimes children's intuition was much more accurate than adults'.
Bai Qiao was a little at a loss and too nervous to know how to answer.
Madam Si patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be so nervous. If you want to learn, go and try it with Doctor Huai."
"If you can learn it, then learn it. If you can't, it doesn't matter."
Bai Qiao turned her head and looked at Madam Si: "Madam, I am the servant who takes care of the young lady."
"It doesn't matter. If you learn it, you will be able to take better care of her." Old Madam Si looked at her with a smile.
Bai Qiao bit her lip, not knowing how to choose.
Juanjuan ran to her side and took her hand: "Sister Qiaoqiao, come on, this is a rare opportunity!"
After she said that, she winked at her mischievously.
Bai Qiao looked at her smiling face and made a decision in her heart. If she learned it, would she be able to take better care of the young lady?
Thinking of this, she stopped worrying and looked up at the person opposite her: "Doctor Huai, I want to try."
"Okay, then pack some clothes and come with me. I need some help recently." Doctor Huai was very straightforward.
Bai Qiao turned to look at Juanjuan: "Miss, wait for me. I will come back to take care of you when I learn it."
Juanjuan smiled brightly and nodded: "Okay!"
Doctor Huai took Bai Qiao and left the Governor's Mansion first.
There weren't many people in the Governor's Mansion today, and now that Bai Qiao had left, there were only the five of them and the noisy animals at home.
"Juanjuan, why do you want Sister Qiaoqiao to study medicine?" Si Jinchen turned to look at her.
"Sister Qiaoqiao is very skillful!" Juanjuan answered seriously.
Si Tian felt both amused and helpless after hearing this. How could being dexterous be compared with studying medicine?
He had previously thought about sending her to the New Clothing Store to try, but this girl ended up sending him directly to study medicine.
"It's not bad to study Chinese medicine. If she really has talent, then let Weng Jin teach her and she can learn both Chinese and Western medicine." Old Madam Si was very open-minded.
"Mom, it will probably take several years to learn both Chinese and Western medicine." Si Tian felt that the time was very long just thinking about it.
"There's no need to worry about her literacy issues when she follows Doctor Huai. Besides, we'll have to wait and see whether she can do it." Old Madam Si hopes that each of them can find a place to use their talents.
They can live better now and in the future.
Ma Yang lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Juanjuan ran over and tugged at his clothes: "Brother Xiaoyang, are you unhappy?"
"No." Ma Yang shook his head quickly.
The other three people in the Si family actually noticed that Ma Yang was worried.
Since the child came to their home, he only occasionally went to the jewelry store to help, and the rest of the time he followed the two children to learn.
Now that I see Baiqiao has something to do, I’m afraid she must feel a little disappointed.
It's just that he is still young, so we don't plan to arrange more things for him.
"Brother Xiaoyang, I was born to be useful, that's what our teacher said!" Juanjuan tilted her head and looked at him with a smile.
Ma Yang was slightly stunned, then looked down at her: "Miss, you are right."
Si Jinchen walked up to him and asked, "Brother Xiaoyang, do you also want to study medicine?"
