The pharmacy clerk was astonished.
Is it a good thing to offend two people at once?
Since Madam Gu could bring some good things, the shopkeeper repeatedly told him to make sure she was well won over.
Doctor Tian was a renowned physician in Anping County, and their pharmacy often sought his help.
Who would have thought that these two would actually...
The guy felt like crying.
He wanted to chase after Gu An'an, but seeing Doctor Tian standing there dumbfounded, he didn't dare to leave, fearing that this temperamental doctor would cause some more trouble.
"One of them has to be left," the waiter carefully comforted her. "Dr. Tian, please don't take it to heart by Gu Niangzi's fault. She was just worried and confused, that's why..."
“Concern leads to confusion.” Doctor Tian laughed. “That young lady is right. I am not skilled enough to even know what this poison is, yet I still thought about curing it. It’s ridiculous.”
He suddenly burst into laughter, startling the pharmacy clerk. Just as the clerk was about to ask Dr. Tian if he was alright, Dr. Tian, who had just laughed, threw his head back and went out laughing.
The waiter was dumbfounded. Why were they all acting like madmen? He was just a lowly waiter, what should he do?
After leaving the pharmacy, Gu An'an didn't go to Bao'an Hall to find a doctor. She suppressed her anger and looked at the children without any of her previous rage. "Mingxu, what kind of snacks would you like to eat?"
When food was mentioned, Jiang Mingxu instantly forgot about what had just happened. "I want to eat lotus root starch cake."
Bao'er tugged at Gu An'an's sleeve, wanting some food, "Your Majesty, have some hawthorn cake, have some candy."
"You idiot Jiang Baozhu, it's a candied hawthorn, not candy."
The little girl glared angrily at her older brother, then grabbed Jiang Mingyi's sleeve with a pitiful look, "Brother, I want to eat candy."
Jiang Mingyi bent down and picked up his little sister. "Okay, brother will buy Bao'er candied hawthorns."
"Don't give any to Third Brother."
The young man echoed his little sister's words, "Yes, I won't give any to your third brother."
Jiang Mingxu immediately protested, "Mother, my brother is biased. I want to eat candied hawthorns too."
If his older brother wouldn't buy it for him, he would ask his mother for it.
Seeing her older brother and younger siblings playing around, Jiang Mingzhu's previously depressed mood was somewhat relieved.
She followed Gu An'an and said, "You're losing your baby teeth, so you can't eat so many sweets."
These words made Jiang Mingxu's little face fall. "Sister, I'll only eat a small piece. Can't I even have a small piece?"
The little boy reached past Gu An'an's arm and tugged at Jiang Mingzhu's sleeve, looking utterly pitiful.
He was the most timid one in the family; he was afraid of everyone except Bao'er.
Seeing his older sister's face, the little boy let go of her hand with a pitiful expression, leaned on Gu An'an's shoulder, and his little head bobbed up and down.
A man doesn't easily shed tears, my son.
You are the renowned Ghost Doctor Ming San Gongzi, how did you become such a crybaby?
"Your older sister is just joking with you, but since you're losing your baby teeth, you shouldn't eat candied hawthorns."
Even with other pastries, you shouldn't eat that much.
Dental problems are never a trivial matter.
As long as I can eat lotus root starch cake, that's fine.
Jiang Mingxu, imitating Bao'er, kissed Gu An'an on the cheek, saying, "Mother is the best."
This little sycophant is really good at flattering people.
Gu An'an took the children to buy candied hawthorns and some pastries from the pastry shop before heading to Taibai Restaurant.
This family of five is quite eye-catching.
However, the children were quite at ease, eating and drinking without making a fuss, and had a very pleasant and comfortable time eating out at a restaurant for the first time.
Gu An'an felt gratified. No one is born inherently evil, and sometimes the growth of villains can be traced.
Look at these kids now, they're so well-behaved and cute, they're not even a bit of a troublemaker. Who would believe they'll become villains in the future?
After eating and drinking her fill, Gu An'an even took a jar of osmanthus wine from the counter.
"Let's make braised pork with fermented rice wine when we get back."
The children cheered with joy.
The restaurant owner was quite curious. "Madam, how is this fermented pork prepared?" Seeing how excited the children were, the owner's appetite was also whetted. He didn't know that osmanthus wine could be used to make a delicious dish with meat.
Gu An'an laughed when she heard this. From ancient times to the present and even into the interstellar era, food is an eternal truth.
"It's been so long since I've made this, I'm not sure how to describe it. How about this, I'll make it in a couple of days and bring it over for the shopkeeper to try."
The restaurant owner immediately understood the young lady's thoughts, and he smiled, "Then I'll look forward to your next visit, young lady."
Gu An'an left with a smile, carrying the osmanthus wine. Before leaving, she went to the meat stall and bought a lot of pork.
The butcher, Jia, was familiar with Gu An'an. "Young lady, your children are quite cute; they don't seem like children from a farming family."
He had met the young master of the county magistrate's family once, but that young master was far inferior to the two boys in front of him.
Gu An'an smiled as she packed the pork bones and offal into a bamboo basket. "Like begets like. I'm good-looking, so my children will take after me."
Butcher Jia: "..."
The four children of the Jiang family: "..."
They're too young; they've never seen anyone so shameless as to lie.
Butcher Jia actually believed her nonsense. "That's true, sister, you really have a way of preserving your youth. I really can't tell."
Gu An'an smiled shyly, packed the meat, and took the children to the carriage shop to rent a carriage to go home.
Uncle Niu has a fixed time to catch the train. They ate at Taibai Restaurant and missed their train.
After all that trouble, it was already past noon when I got home.
Gu An'an added some firewood to warm the kang (a heated brick bed), and seeing that the children were all sleeping in their blankets, she went to the kitchen to busy herself.
Living off one's savings is not an option, and there's no guarantee that one will be lucky enough to encounter another musk deer.
If we can reach a cooperation agreement with the restaurant and sell this recipe to them in the future, it would be a long-term and stable source of income.
Gu An'an never skimped on food. Although her dishes might not be the most outstanding in the world, they were still presentable in terms of color, aroma, and taste.
She knew exactly how to cook braised pork with fermented rice wine, so she hadn't actually planned on making any meat dishes for tonight.
We had a big lunch at Taibai Restaurant, so we should have something light for dinner.
Looking at the pork on the cutting board, Gu An'an took out the prescription written by Doctor Tian from her sleeve.
Gu An'an felt a little embarrassed thinking about what happened at the pharmacy today.
Dr. Tian is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Since he treated Jiang Mingyi years ago, he probably wasn't just making things up.
But when he said it in front of the children, Mingyi and Zhuer were so frightened that they turned pale. Even if he was telling the truth, Gu An'an would still make a scene.
Unexpectedly, Gu An'an, a law-abiding citizen, has started causing trouble at a hospital in this era.
It's truly both laughable and frustrating.
Anyway, she'll be going to Taibai Restaurant again tomorrow, so she'll make some extra fermented pork and send it over to Doctor Tian as an apology to the doctor.
