Chapter 279 Doctor Hu
Everyone ate something, but Doctor Xiao Hu did not eat anything. He first wrote out a prescription, then boiled the medicine himself and fed it to the female beggar.
Then he picked up the scissors and continued to process the medicinal materials.
I saw him moving 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 came to watch the fun:
“Don’t all crowd here.
This place is so small, how can it accommodate all of you old people? Go home quickly, go away! Go do what 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, you can ask someone to call me to get it."
Doctor Hu nodded at him: "Okay."
The only people left in the room were Doctor Hu, his brother who served as his medicine boy, Xia Daohua and a few others, as well as the female beggar and her two children.
After the two children had a good meal, they gathered around their mother again, looking worried. Seeing that their mother didn't seem to be 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 plucked 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:
"Wait another half an hour. If she still doesn't wake up, I'll give her another set of acupuncture. 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 quarrel and the rescue, the excitement had worn off and they were all a little depressed. Xia Daohua asked them to sit down and rest, and quietly asked them if they wanted to go home.
Xia Yujiao then realized that her nephews and nieces were still young and were probably tired. They might also be a little scared and felt very embarrassed.
Seeing that she was about to blame herself again, Xia Daohua hurriedly comforted her:
"Aunt, you are amazing today. I also wanted to take care of this matter, but I am not as decisive as you, and I am still hesitating.
If you hadn't been so decisive, this lady's condition would probably have been delayed."
Doctor Hu had been very quiet the whole time, 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 looked at Xia Daohua gratefully, knowing full well that her niece was trying to comfort her. But Doctor Hu actually said so, so it seemed that she really had done nothing wrong.
Xia Daohua then said to Doctor Hu:
"Please also check my brothers and sisters to see if they are frightened or anything. If they need to take medicine, it would be best to prescribe something that is not too 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 Granny 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 popular market.
The customers who come to Daohuaxiang are usually rich or noble, and most of them are well-off. Most of these families have embroiderers at home and are unwilling to use things from outside.
Very few people, seeing how beautiful Jiang's embroidery is, are willing to buy one or two pieces to enjoy, but they don't come every day.
If there is not sales every day, Jiang will inevitably feel a little angry.
So, every once in a while, Xia Daohua would quietly "buy" a portion of it 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 that Xia Daohua played in the embroidery and she actually thought that someone appreciated her embroidery.
This mood also made her look very energetic 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 a chance to make money on her own is actually more meaningful.
Doctor Hu took one more look at the exquisite purse, but he didn't hesitate to take it and put it on the table: "Let me see, but you don't necessarily need to take medicine."
He asked the three children to open their mouths, looked at their tongues, opened their eyelids, observed their hands, and felt their pulses. Then, he smiled and made a pot of hawthorn water for the children: "It's nothing serious, they just ate too much, help them digest the food."
The children each drank a bowl of hawthorn water. 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, struggling to get up.
Doctor Hu stepped forward and said, "Don't move."
After feeling her pulse, he said:
"Fortunately, the fever has subsided.
I'll prescribe a prescription for you. 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: "Just get the medicine from you."
Doctor Hu smiled:
"Well, the consultation fee is 100 coins, the emergency medicine fee is 150 coins, the three prescriptions cost a total of 600 coins, and the hawthorn water is three coins a bowl, so the total cost is 865 coins."
Xia Daohua opened her purse and counted out eight strings of 100-coin coins. She 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 is not difficult to treat, and the water nettle poison is not difficult to cure, but her body cannot be ruined like this any longer. She needs to rest for a while."
