Chapter 69: Madam's Heartache
After listening to this, Ye Shuyi understood their family tradition.
"So how many months have you been out?" she asked.
"The first month." said Hong Shiqiong.
All right.
"My brother's son just didn't want to be a Chinese medicine practitioner, so he left home when he became an adult. I heard that he became a chef, but I don't know where he works. I want to find him and seek refuge with him," said Hong Shiqiong.
Ye Shuyi nodded again.
"Is it difficult to learn how to make herbal tea? I have no basic knowledge." Ye Shuyi can cook many dishes, barbecue desserts, and soup, but she doesn't know how to make herbal tea.
The herbal tea here is not the one sold on the market from Jia Taobao or Wang Mouji.
They are bitter, magical Chinese medicine.
"Don't worry, you will be able to learn it within a year. I won't leave until you have mastered it. I will also leave you the secret recipe of herbal tea, just follow it." Hong Shiqiong said fearfully.
"Okay! Thank you very much, Sister Qiong!" Ye Shuyi said happily.
Ye Shuyi is very confident to have such a young lady from a family of traditional Chinese medicine as her teacher.
"Sister Qiong, do you have a place to live?" Ye Shuyi asked.
"No. I stayed in a hotel for the past few days and checked out today. I can't find my wallet, so I might have to sleep under the overpass!" She said such a sad thing with great ease.
Anyway, it's July and August now, which is the hottest season, so it's nice to cool off under the overpass at night.
The starry night sky is the quilt, and the concrete ground is the bed.
"Sister Qiong, how about I hire you as an employee for our store? Three hundred and fifty-one days, meals included. I'll advance you a part of the salary today, you can stay in a hotel, and then you can find a place to rent later, how about that?" Ye Shuyi asked.
Ye Shuyi is not very good at giving prices.
I don’t know if she can accept it.
This is higher than the salary of all the employees in the store, because Ye Shuyi is equivalent to hiring a teacher to impart knowledge.
Hong Shiqiong agreed readily: "That's great! Miss Ye, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have to sleep on the streets. Hehe, I just need a stutter."
It was settled like this. Ye Shuyi paid her half a month's salary in advance and asked her to find a place to live. She could go back to work officially in a few days and then go to visit her nephew.
Why is it a few days before work? Because Ye Shuyi and other chefs are going to participate in a cooking competition.
I’m afraid I don’t have time to learn how to make herbal tea.
This was exactly what Hong Shiqiong wanted. She also said that she would go and see the excitement of the cooking competition in a few days.
Just as Hong Shiqiong was about to leave, someone else came outside the door.
This is an acquaintance.
Butler Xue came in with a sad face and said to Ye Shuyi, "Miss Ye, are you busy now? Madam is ill. Can you cook something appetizing, porridge, noodles, or something suitable for the patient?"
"Ah? How could this happen? Is Ms. Fang sick? What's wrong? Is it serious?" Ye Shuyi asked worriedly.
"Oh, I don't know. We've seen our family doctor, but it's no use. My wife has been groggy, complaining of body aches, diarrhea, and vomiting. We're trying to contact Hong Enping, the legendary doctor from Hong Kong, but he's been away all year, so I don't know if we can get him to come out."
Isn’t this a coincidence?
As soon as Hong Shiqiong heard her uncle's name, she immediately turned her head to look over.
Ye Shuyi went over to her and asked, "Sister Qiong, one of my old customers is sick. I don't know what's wrong with him. Would you like to go and see him?"
Hong Shiqiong understood the conversation just now.
She's free anyway.
As for inviting his uncle...it's difficult!
"Okay!" she agreed.
Housekeeper Xue was a little worried when he saw Ye Shuyi's behavior: "Ms. Ye, our family doctor is a very senior doctor. He is the director of the most famous hospital in Hong Kong Island. Many doctors can't diagnose the diseases he can't diagnose..."
The implication is, is this woman dressed strangely reliable?
Don't waste your time.
"Butler Xue, just let Sister Qiong try. She was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. The Hong Enping you just mentioned is her great uncle!"
Great uncle is grandfather’s younger brother.
When Butler Xue heard Ye Shuyi's introduction, his eyes lit up.
Isn't that just right? After searching high and low for something, it finally comes to you without any effort.
He changed his skeptical expression and said enthusiastically, "So it's Miss Hong! It would be great if you could help our wife cure her illness. Please get in the car with me. I will reward you handsomely when you cure her!"
He said as he led the way.
Ye Shuyi still had to cook porridge for Ms. Fang, so she couldn't go over for the time being.
She had originally cooked two meals and took them back to Butler Xue first.
The car sped away, and Butler Xue respectfully took Hong Shiqiong to the Chen family's manor.
They soon arrived at Ms. Fang's room.
Ms. Fang's face was pale, her lips were bloodless and dry. She muttered incoherently, "Don't come over! Don't come over!"
One of his servants helped Ms. Fang wipe her mouth and the corners, while another took away a plate.
"How is Madam?" asked Butler Xue.
"I just vomited." The servant replied.
After hearing this, Butler Xue turned to Hong Shiqiong and said, "Miss Hong, I'll leave this to you."
Hong Shiqiong only took one look and knew what was going on.
She nodded, sat next to him, and took Ms. Fang's hand out from under the quilt.
Close your eyes and take your pulse carefully.
After five seconds, release.
"How is it? Miss Hong, what kind of illness does the lady have?" asked Butler Xue.
"Madam, you have a mental disorder and a heart disease that Western doctors cannot diagnose," Hong Shiqiong replied.
Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, listening, questioning and palpation.
I can’t ask now.
But based on the pulse, she could understand the functions of various parts of Ms. Fang's body.
I don’t have any serious illness, but I have a lot of mental problems.
When Butler Xue heard this, he thought it was a very mysterious description!
Madam usually looks so cheerful, how could she be suffering from a mental illness?
What is she worried about?
The Chen family is wealthy and powerful, and Mr. Chen loves Ms. Fang very much. Although Master Chen Nanfeng is a bit rebellious, he is still very filial.
Didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
Madam, are you worried about something else?
Butler Xue didn't understand.
"What should I do?" He asked for a solution.
Although this worry sounds very unreasonable, there is no other way except to believe it.
Give it a try!
Hong Shiqiong said, "Give me a brush and paper, I'll write a prescription, and you can just prescribe the medicine according to it."
Butler Xue quickly did as he was told.
As for why a brush was used, he didn't understand and was too embarrassed to ask.
Anyway, just do whatever they say.
At this time, a young man came back.
As soon as he entered the room, he said to Steward Xue, "The doctor from the Spiritual Medicine Hall said that Hong Enping is not coming!"
As expected, nothing surprising.
Whether rich or poor, people in Hong Kong may not be able to hire Hong Enping.
Because he doesn't care about money, he only cares about fate.
"His refusal this time was rather strange. He said someone else had already taken care of his wife's medical condition, so he wouldn't come." The young man, who was also an employee of the Chen family, said so.
Housekeeper Xue was secretly surprised when he heard this. This Hong Enping was not only an excellent doctor, but also a fortune teller!
He actually knew that he had found Hong Shiqiong.
"Anything else?" asked Butler Xue.
"He also told us to trust the doctor who is currently treating my wife. That's all. That's all."
