Chapter 464: Hand-Pinching
Chen Qingqing saw that the woman was wearing patched clothes and the child in her arms was pale and thin.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, I felt a little shaken.
Ordinary albendazole tablets can be taken by children over two years old.
Children in this era do not pay attention to hygiene, which results in roundworms in every child's stomach.
Logically speaking, children should take anti-worm medicine once a year, so it’s okay to prescribe two more tablets for her.
"Okay, but you have to remember that this medicine can't be taken by children under three years old. If the condition doesn't improve after taking the medicine, it means the medicine is not suitable for the child. You must bring the child here immediately so I can examine him carefully and prescribe the right medicine."
"Okay, I'll remember what you said. Thank you." The woman paid for the medicine and left Jishidiang with the medicine.
Doctor Miao did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and stared at the door of Jishiditang with both eyes, fearing that the woman would take the money but not do the job.
Just as he stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look, he saw a woman holding a child and walking out with a happy face.
"How is it? Have you prescribed the medicine?" Doctor Miao asked the woman who was walking over.
The woman smiled and nodded, "Big Brother, you're lucky you met me today, otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to prescribe this medicine for you."
"Thank you so much. Come on, take it out and let me see it."
"Don't worry, I'll get it to you right away."
Doctor Miao was stunned when he saw the small paper bag the woman handed over. "What is this?"
“Medicine!”
"Medicine? Why is it in such a small paper bag?" Doctor Miao was a little surprised.
Seeing his expression, the woman couldn't help but laugh. "I was also puzzled at the time, but Doctor Chen said that this is a magic medicine that can cure all diseases. As long as you take it, your stomachache will definitely go away."
"Is it really so magical?"
"That's not great. I bet you've never seen what a magic medicine looks like," the woman said, gesturing with her hand. "This pill is only the size of a fingernail, white and round. If you didn't know better, you'd mistake it for a jelly bean!"
Looking at the paper package in his hand, Doctor Miao's hands began to tremble with excitement. When he opened the paper package, he could not help but frown.
It was just as the woman said, just two small pills the size of a fingernail.
Although he knew that Chen Qingqing prescribed a white potion for the child, he never expected that the effect would be so small.
Doctor Miao looked up at the woman, his eyes full of doubt, "Can this thing really cure diseases?"
"Look at what you said. If it's not for curing the disease, what else can it be cured? I just saw that many people were prescribed this small pill. If you don't believe me, give this medicine back to me quickly and save it for my child to take in the future." The woman said as she was about to grab it.
Doctor Miao was quick to put the medicine into his pocket and said, "I believe it. How can I not believe it? How much is the medicine? I'll give it to you."
"Not much, just five..." The woman said this, and then an idea came to her mind and she stopped talking.
I secretly thought in my heart, even though this person is not very smart, he seems to be quite rich.
To be honest, even if I pay double the price, it's only ten cents.
Since he is stupid and has a lot of money, why not say more? He doesn't know anyway.
This is a one-time deal, and who knows who after this?
Doctor Miao was eager to go back and think it over carefully. Seeing that the woman was stunned halfway through her sentence, he hurriedly asked, "How much is it? Fifty or ninety-five coins?"
When the woman heard this, she was so excited that she almost threw the child on the ground.
I thought asking for an extra three or five coins would be enough, but I didn't expect this person to directly ask for ninety-five coins.
If I don't agree with him, I will be doing an injustice to this stupid idiot.
"Yes, yes, that's ninety-five coins."
"Okay, I promised to give you double the money for the medicine. Here is one hundred and ninety coins. Keep it." Doctor Miao did not think there was anything wrong with it. He thought the price was fair.
He usually treated patients, and even if the illness was a minor one, he would prescribe dozens of herbal medicines. He felt that he was losing out if he didn't make a few hundred coins.
If you meet a family that is a little better off, he will tamper with the dosage of the medicine and let you take it as long as you don't die.
It is guaranteed to work as soon as you take it, but it just doesn't work well.
I didn't give up until I had no money left to buy medicine.
These are all well-known secrets in the industry, and all pharmacies do this.
However, he did not expect that the emergence of Jishiditang would cause his business to plummet and he would lose a lot of money.
The woman looked at the handful of copper coins in her hand and was so excited that she couldn't speak.
Oh my God, she stepped on dog shit today. She was so lucky that she ran into such a money-giving boy.
Is this person mentally ill?
No, we have to leave quickly. If he changes his mind again, the meat in our mouths will be gone.
Thinking of this, the woman no longer paid any attention to Doctor Miao, and disappeared like a gust of wind with the child in her arms.
Doctor Miao didn't even look at the woman, and just took out the paper bag from his pocket.
Looking at the small white pill inside, he felt a little unhappy.
Even though I got the elixir, I still couldn't tell what kind of herbs it was made of.
Nothing is difficult in the world if one sets his mind to it.
I should go back and study it carefully. If I figure it out, I will make a fortune.
Thinking about this, he turned around and was about to leave when he saw a strong man with a full beard running towards him from a distance, shouting, "Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way... Who is the doctor? Hurry up and save me!"
Seeing that there was a customer, Doctor Miao quickly put away the medicine bag in his hand and walked forward quickly, "Brave man, I am the doctor. What happened?"
The strong man grabbed his hand as if he had seen a savior, "You are the doctor from Jishiditang, you are so kind! My brother was working in the fields, and unexpectedly a group of wild boars rushed down from the mountain and bit my brother. Please save him!"
The warrior's voice was choked with sobs, and he was so anxious that he was about to cry.
Doctor Miao didn't want to compete with Jishidiang for business, but it's better to be lucky than to be lucky. Last time, his reputation was ruined because of the corpse poison in Luobotou and others. If he could cure the villagers who were bitten by wild boars in front of Jishidiang's gate at this time, his reputation would definitely be restored.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile, then his expression changed and he said solemnly, "Brave man, although I am not a doctor from Jishiditang, I, Miao, have many years of medical experience and am very good at treating injuries. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to cure your brother."
"Okay, okay. I'll have to trouble Doctor Miao." The man looked grateful.
Chen Qingqing heard the man's cry and hurried out of the house. She just happened to hear what Doctor Miao said.
Although she was somewhat unhappy that Doctor Miao was treating a patient right in front of his own shop, she did not think much about it.
After all, the situation was critical. Perhaps this person, with a compassionate heart as a doctor, made such a decision out of anxiety...
