Chapter 250: Iron Bed, Flooding Patient
Jiang Wan squatted in front of the stall and picked crabs one by one.
There are some skills in choosing swimming crabs. She usually looks at the color first and then pinches the crab legs. The greener the swimming crab's shell is, the fatter it is. The green-yellow swimming crabs are not full of roe and have little roe. The steamed meat is full of water and is not very good.
When pinching crab legs, you need the kind that is elastic, so that the crab will not be too thin.
She would also hold the crab up to the sun.
The shell of the swimming crab is not thick. When facing the sunlight, if there are orange or dark shadows on the edges of the crab shell, then there must be a lot of crab roe and crab paste.
The next step is to press the crab body. If the shell on the crab's abdomen is hard when pressed, it means the crab is fresh and the meat is fresh. If it is a little soft when pressed, the crab will be a pot of water after steaming, and the meat will only be a little bit in the soup.
Jiang Wan had been picking swimming crabs for many years, so she had a good eye for them. She quickly filled a large bag.
Because the swimming crabs this time are quite big and are from the first few ports online, they are a little more expensive than usual.
Swimming crabs, which usually cost three cents per pound, were now sold for five cents per pound. Jiang Wan picked a total of twenty pounds of swimming crabs and spent a hundred cents.
The heavy swimming crabs were squeezed in the net bag, and Jiang Wan had a bit of difficulty carrying it. Fortunately, A'niang quickly helped her take it.
The four of them were happily preparing to find a boat to return, but after taking a few steps they heard someone chasing them.
"Miss Jiang, please stay!"
Perhaps because her surname was also Jiang, Jiang Wan turned around subconsciously to take a look.
Um?
This person looks a little familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen him.
Eh? He seemed to be running towards me.
"Miss Jiang! That's great that you haven't left yet!"
Sanhe, who was guarding the gate, ran over and greeted Jiang Wan and the others first, then explained the purpose of his visit.
When they heard that Qin Yue was sick, Jiang Wan and her daughter naturally went to see her.
But they now have too many things to carry, and the crabs will surely be smelly by the time they get home after all the hassles of going back and forth.
"Baozhu, can you take Anan back first? My mother and I will go see a patient and then we'll be back."
Baozhu agreed immediately.
Having been in the city for most of the day, she is already eager to go home.
I don’t know if Niu Nai and Hua Hua have been well behaved at home today. There are two old men at home. Will they take care of the puppies?
"Xiao Wan, Master, don't worry, I will definitely take Anan and these things back with me."
Jiang Wan nodded, but still a little worriedly sent Baozhu Anan onto the boat before leaving in the carriage.
The mother and daughter thought for a long time on the way there, wondering what disease Qin Yue might have.
The result was unexpected, she actually suffered from dysmenorrhea.
This disease still troubles countless girls today.
After taking the patient's pulse, Yin Huaixi came to the same conclusion as the previous doctors, but she had more treatment options.
"Xiaoyue's illness mainly requires warming the meridians and dispelling the cold. In addition to the uterus-warming soup, other methods should also be used to improve the condition. For example, acupuncture, moxibustion, foot bathing, etc."
Other male doctors certainly could not open Qin Yue's stomach to perform moxibustion, but Yin Huaixi was much more convenient.
"I don't have any prepared today, I will come back tomorrow after I have prepared everything I need. It is guaranteed to greatly reduce the abdominal pain."
Hearing this, Qin Yue felt like she had found a life-saving straw.
"Aunt Yin! Can I go to the village with you now?!"
She really didn't want to endure another night.
The pain in her stomach was not just ordinary, but it was so severe that she felt like she was living a year in a day. Sometimes she even wanted to go to the doctor and get a medicine to stop her menstrual period.
Only those who feel pain know it.
Qin Yue's face looked very bad, and she was covered in sweat. It was obvious that she really couldn't bear the pain.
Jiang Wan felt quite sympathetic towards her.
Life is not easy for women. They suffer from dysmenorrhea when they are unmarried, and have to give birth to children after marriage. The pain of childbirth is said to be even worse than dysmenorrhea.
Some people with good physiques may never feel the pain throughout their lives, some may just feel a little pain during their periods, and quite a few girls will suffer from excruciating pain every month.
Qin Yue is like this.
She was lucky that her parents cared about her pain. When some women have an attack, their families would just say they are making a big deal out of nothing. It is obvious that other people do not feel pain during menstruation, but they are so hypocritical.
This kind of pain caused by personal physical condition is really uncomfortable.
Jiang Wan turned to look at A Niang and saw that she agreed without much hesitation.
"Xiaoyue, if you don't mind the shabby pharmacy, you can stay there for a night, but this requires the consent of both Lord Qin and Madam Qin."
Qin Yue hurriedly pulled her mother's sleeve, shouting with tears in her eyes that she wanted to go to Lianjiagou.
Mrs. Qin couldn't make the decision, and in the end it was Lord Qin who agreed.
There was no danger in a small fishing village, and Jiang Wan and her daughter lived together, so there was nothing to worry about.
However...
Lord Qin suddenly remembered the case from this morning and suddenly started to worry again. So he quickly sent a few more yamen runners, dressed in ordinary people's clothes, to go to Lianjiagou with him.
I hope they can be more alert and protect their daughter and Jiang Wan's family.
——————————————
At this time, Li Xiao didn't know that the pharmacy was about to welcome a new person. He was pestering his good brother to let him stay for another day.
"No, I'm almost cured. Doctor Yin will definitely be able to diagnose it. You said you don't get scared when you hunt normally, so why are you so scared when you like a woman?"
"Keep your voice down!"
Li Xiao pinched Li Fu, fearing that his words would be heard by the two maids in the kitchen and corrupt the children.
"Look at you, you don't even dare to say anything. How can Doctor Yin like you?"
As expected, you are good brothers, you are so cool when it comes to stabbing.
Li Xiao turned around with his hands behind his back, and finally uttered a sentence.
"Doctor Yin is such a person, if it were you, would you dare to speak up?"
Li Fu shrugged his shoulders to indicate that he dared not.
He had lived in the village since he was a child, and had never seen a woman as fair and beautiful as Doctor Yin. Moreover, she had a kind of temperament, and every time she spoke to you tenderly, it was as if she was covered with a layer of moonlight.
Like, like a fairy!
Anyway, ordinary people like him don't dare to have such delusions.
He was not as good as Li Xiao. Several times when he changed the dressing, his whole body became stiff and he didn't dare to breathe. He almost suffocated himself.
Therefore, he really couldn't help his good brother this time.
"Ah Xiao, if you really want to marry Doctor Yin, don't hide it. You have to show it. Let Doctor Yin see your feelings and your determination."
Li Xiao shook his head subconsciously.
"That's definitely not going to work..."
Doctor Yin was not interested in him. If he really wanted to pursue her, his friendly relationship would be ruined.
Li Fu rolled his eyes at him.
"Are you stupid? Now that Anan has become your disciple, your families will definitely visit each other frequently in the future. If you fail once, try again. With Anan around, it's impossible for us to become enemies."
Li Xiao seemed to be thinking about something after listening to this.
But he still hadn't made up his mind to express his feelings.
In addition to lack of confidence, another point is low self-esteem.
To put it nicely, he is a clan leader, to put it bluntly, he is just a mountain man, with no money, no land, and even no decent house.
Look at this beautiful courtyard now. Doctor Yin and her daughter are living a good life.
How can I express my feelings?
Li Xiao put away his sneaky thoughts and finally reluctantly pulled his good brother along. He decided to leave after Doctor Yin came back.
As a result, after waiting for an hour, a girl named Qin Yue came back and took the small bed directly.
Li Fu: We have to leave now, Xiao's luck is really bad.
