Chapter 39 Assessment Questions Electrical Appliances
"Junior brother?" Liu Mengxi answered with a puzzled expression.
"You could say that," Chen Yin nodded, handing the written prescription to the patient. "Take this and go get the medicine."
"Hey, thank you, Doctor Chen."
The patient nodded gratefully, then quickly stood up and left. As for the person Chen Yin mentioned, although they were curious, they were not so tactless as to ask further questions.
It has to be said that Qi Wenzhong arrived at the right time.
When he excitedly stepped into the gate of Huimin Hall, he saw the patient opening the door of the clinic, and Chen Yin and Liu Mengxi appeared behind him.
As soon as Qi Wenzhong saw Chen Yin, he couldn't help but greet her excitedly, with a shy smile on his face and his right hand gently waving.
"Sister Yin Yin!"
"You're here. Didn't you have class yesterday?"
Today is Saturday, so the date is right, but the timing is not so reasonable.
Hearing this, Qi Wenzhong scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and explained:
"I'm already a senior in college, with very few courses to take. I don't know anything about interning at a hospital. I might as well follow you, Sister Yinyin, and lend a hand during the free clinic."
Liu Mengxi was shocked again and again by what Qi Wenzhong said.
First, he was a college student who had not graduated yet. He was unwilling to even go to the cooperative hospital of his own school, and he came to see Chen Yin specifically on weekends.
The second thing is that the other party actually knew that Chen Yin was providing free medical treatment!
Instead, it seemed that the relationship between this group of college classmates and Chen Yin was not that close.
Liu Mengxi subconsciously moved a step to the side, getting closer to Chen Yin, and looked at the opposite side warily with an expression that said "keep away from strangers."
Qi Wenzhong withdrew his gaze doubtfully, lowered his eyes, and looked a little restrained.
Seeing this, Chen Yin spoke to comfort him, "Just make sure you have no problems with the school courses. My small clinic is convenient for you to come at any time."
As soon as these words were spoken, Qi Wenzhong's face showed a familiar smile again.
"Thank you, Sister Yin Yin!"
Then, Chen Yin introduced the two to each other.
"This is my college classmate, Doctor Liu Mengxi, who now works at the First Affiliated Hospital of our university. This is Qi Wenzhong, who is currently a senior at our city's medical university."
"Liu Mengxi."
"Qi Wenzhong."
The two men exchanged names, shook hands for a second and then loosened their grip, with a faint air of hostility emanating from them.
Chen Yin glanced at the two people who were meeting for the first time in confusion, and changed the subject.
"Go to the backyard and put down your luggage first. If you want to watch and learn from the sidelines, just knock on the door and come in."
"I'll be there right away!" Qi Wenzhong responded excitedly when he heard that he could do what he had been thinking about.
He couldn't wait for Chen Yin to finish her words, so he ran towards the backyard in a hurry, threw his backpack on the chair in the main room, and hurried back.
When Qi Wenzhong came back, he ran into the patient.
"Hello, please come in first. I'm a medical student here to study with Dr. Chen Yin."
"Oh, here comes another one."
Wu Jiawen had previously heard that a college classmate of Doctor Chen had come to Huimintang and that he was working in a large hospital in the neighboring province, but she had not seen much of his medical skills.
Now there is another medical student who wants to learn, so why is Dr. Chen also taking on the task of teaching?
Although she was confused, she nodded when she met Qi Wenzhong's sincere eyes, let go of the door handle, and let someone follow her in.
When Wu Jiawen entered the clinic, Qi Wenzhong looked at the layout of the clinic and suddenly felt that he had forgotten something.
He smiled embarrassedly, walked back, picked up a chair at random, and returned to the clinic.
"Doctor Chen, Doctor Liu."
As Qi Wenzhong walked, he smiled and nodded to greet the two of them, and calmly put down his chair in the empty seat on the other side of Chen Yin.
So, the clinic was set up with Chen Yin sitting in the center, with a guardian on each side.
Chen Yin felt a strange breath coming from beside her and immediately looked at the patient in front of her.
"Hello, please tell me your name and age."
"My name is Wu Jiawen, and I'm twenty-three years old."
"Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Speaking of which, Wu Jiawen also felt a little strange and didn't know how to start.
After thinking for a long time, she frowned and said, "I just feel weird lately. The weather is so hot, so I really like to drink something cold and eat popsicles. But after eating, I suddenly had a stomachache, which I've never had before."
"Really? Besides the stomachache, are there any other discomforts or changes in your body?"
Seeing that this type of questioning could not uncover the patient's problem, Chen Yin began to ask detailed questions.
"How are your bowel movements and urine? How many times a day do you have bowel movements? What color is your urine?"
Wu Jiawen blushed in embarrassment when she suddenly heard the doctor mention such a private issue.
She subconsciously glanced in the direction of Qi Wenzhong, and was silent for a while before she opened her mouth slightly.
"My bowel movements are only once every three or four days, and my urine is light yellow."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yin immediately recorded the above situation in her notebook.
Qi Wenzhong then took out his notebook and imitated Chen Yin's method, writing down everything that had just happened, writing very quickly.
Liu Mengxi caught a glimpse of this scene and gritted his teeth secretly.
She thought: How come this new medical student seems to be studying harder than me? No, she also needs to start taking notes and study with Yinyin.
At this point, Chen Yin had already asked more in-depth questions.
When I heard that the patient often felt that his back was very hot when he slept at night, but now he felt a little cold when he put on a coat, it was obvious that something was wrong when he heard that two contradictory situations occurred in his body.
It was only at this time that Wu Jiawen realized that her body had already sent out so many bad signals.
Chen Yin noticed the patient's anxiety and quickly spoke to comfort him.
"Don't worry, we're still diagnosing the specific condition. Come on, stick out your tongue."
The calm tone made Wu Jiawen feel much calmer, and she followed Chen Yin's instructions and stuck out her tongue.
Liu Mengxi thought of a competitor nearby, and subconsciously leaned forward, wanting to get closer and observe the patient's tongue more clearly.
Seeing this, Qi Wenzhong followed closely behind.
Chen Yin looked at the heads of the patients approaching from both sides and waited for a while before interrupting them.
"Okay, you can take it back now."
But this time, she didn't immediately write down her diagnosis on the paper, but glanced at the two of them from the side.
After knowing that both of them were judging the condition of the patient's tongue, an idea came to Chen Yin's mind.
Since both of them wanted to learn things from her, she should learn more from the Grandmaster.
"You both looked at the patient's tongue. What did you see?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Mengxi's little head, which was constantly working on the tongue diagnosis, suddenly stopped working.
The pen in Qi Wenzhong's hand, which was constantly moving and making rustling sounds, immediately stopped.
The two of them took a while to digest the news before they looked up and looked at Chen Yin with confusion.
Chen Yin nodded, confirming the two people's guess.
"Which of you wants to go first?"
She waited for a long time, but the two of them didn't say anything, so she had to speak first.
"Liu Mengxi, you are the senior, you go first."
For some reason, at this moment Liu Mengxi suddenly felt that he saw his high school class teacher in Chen Yin, and he was the strictest one.
Her heart suddenly became nervous and uneasy, and her mind kept recalling the scene she had just seen.
"Gudong!" She swallowed nervously and then slowly told what she saw.
"The patient's tongue is pale red."
"What does this symptom mean?" Chen Yin continued to ask.
"This symptom means... means..." Liu Mengxi wanted to dig out his head to have a look. Why couldn't he remember anything all of a sudden?
Just when she was about to rack her brains, a flash of inspiration hit her mind, "It's Yin deficiency and fire movement!"
Seeing the doctor almost stumped, Wu Jiawen couldn't help but curl her lips, and even her own worries about the illness dissipated a lot.
She followed Chen Yin's gaze and looked at the only boy in the clinic.
"Qi Wenzhong, what about you? What did you find out?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Wenzhong tightened his lips and spoke word by word, "The patient has a greasy yellow tongue coating."
"What does this mean?"
"Ren Yingqiu said in Tongue Diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine that a thick, greasy, and yellow tongue coating indicates phlegm-heat, damp-heat...it indicates internal accumulation of damp phlegm and poor visceral qi."
"The book is well memorized,"
Chen Yin only gave a simple comment and turned her attention back to the patient.
"I'm sorry I delayed your consultation a little."
"It's okay, Doctor Chen. It was quite interesting watching you guys just now. It was like you were in class. I couldn't help but get nervous."
"Thank you for your understanding. Now, please extend your hand and place it on the pulse pillow."
Chen Yin calmly began to take the pulse, leaving the two people being questioned aside.
The two people who had been at odds with each other before were very nervous when they saw Chen Yin's condition.
The two looked at each other and felt a sense of mutual understanding.
The two wanted to ask something, but didn't know how to start.
I watched Chen Yin diagnose the cause of the disease, write out the medicine, and see the patient leave to get the medicine.
At this moment, Liu Mengxi could no longer suppress his inner impatience. He pressed his upper body against Chen Yin's arm and asked:
"Yin Yin, you haven't told me how I judged it just now? Who won between us?"
Qi Wenzhong didn't expect that their alliance would collapse so quickly. He widened his eyes, unable to react.
Chen Yin glanced at the expressions of the two and said seriously, "It's a lose-lose situation."
"Why!"
Liu Mengxi asked in disbelief. In her opinion, she should have won.
Although Qi Wenzhong spoke for a long time, she did not have any thoughts or ideas of her own. At least she could see that the patient was suffering from yin deficiency and fire movement.
Qi Wenzhong knew that he was a bookworm, and his face turned pale with guilt.
"Could it be that you only noticed that the patient's tongue was pale red? That's not enough for you."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Mengxi seemed to have the energy in his body suddenly dissipated. His shoulders drooped, his back hunched, and his whole body revealed frustration.
Then, Chen Yin turned her gaze to Qi Wenzhong and said earnestly:
“It’s good to read more, but you also need to put what you learn into practice.”
"I know, Sister Yinyin, I will continue to work hard." Qi Wenzhong said sincerely, and he wanted to bow to Chen Yin on the spot to make a promise.
Realizing that he still lacked a lot, he couldn't help but ask.
"Sister Yinyin, what disease did the last patient have?"
Speaking of this, Liu Mengxi also became interested and wanted to know what the patient's pale red tongue and greasy yellow tongue coating meant.
Chen Yin did not say it directly, but guided the two to think for themselves.
She glanced at Qi Wenzhong and reminded him, "Since you can recite this paragraph, do you still remember the previous sentence?"
"The previous sentence is... is: It is often seen in diseases such as dampness and turbidity... where Yang Qi is suppressed by Yin evil①."
Qi Wenzhong suddenly realized something and shouted, "It's the Yang Qi being suppressed by the Yin evil."
"So is it that the Yang Qi is insufficient and is being suppressed by the Yin evil? Or is it that the Yin evil is excessive and is suppressing the Yang Qi?" Chen Yin nodded and continued to ask.
As soon as these words came out, Qi Wenzhong and Liu Mengxi immediately thought of the tongue diagnosis just now, and said in unison:
"It's a lack of Yang energy."
In their opinion, since a pale red tongue indicates yin deficiency and fire, and if one is already yin deficient, it is impossible that yin evil is excessive, but only that yang qi is insufficient.
The next second, the two looked at each other and immediately concluded, "It's Yang deficiency!"
Hearing this, Chen Yin smiled slightly, confirming the two people's judgment.
This diagnosis, which was made after careful analysis, gave both of them a sense of relief.
This extraordinary feeling cannot be brought by anything else.
Liu Mengxi excitedly approached Qi Wenzhong, raising one hand high.
Qi Wenzhong subconsciously raised his hand, and Liu Mengxi came closer and clapped his hands, and crisp applause rang out in the clinic.
“Bang!”
"Hehe! We are right." Liu Mengxi said happily.
"Yes, so this is how we can judge a person's physical condition. Chinese medicine is truly amazing."
At this time, Qi Wenzhong's mind was still a little confused, and he couldn't believe that he could actually give the correct answer.
As he marveled at her, Liu Mengxi also realized her own shortcomings. She knew she needed to study more in the future. This subject of theirs was truly something that one could learn throughout one's life.
If Qi Wenzhong had not read the book, how would he know that there is also yang deficiency in yin deficiency?
After Chen Yin and the other two had digested everything that had just happened, they told the results of their further diagnosis.
"In fact, when the patient just described herself, she already told you the specific cause of her illness."
"where?"
Liu Mengxi immediately became alert and quickly approached Chen Yin, following the direction her hand was pointing to the record.
"Look, the patient said his back was cold during the day because of yang deficiency, which couldn't warm the muscles. And the back was hot at night because of yin deficiency, which caused internal fire. As for stomachache and constipation, they were also caused by these two factors."
"In addition, after taking the patient's pulse, I determined that the patient's pulse was deep and thin, proving that the patient's internal qi and blood were both deficient and he had dampness symptoms."
“I didn’t know you could look at it this way!”
The two of them suddenly realized something, their eyes went blank and they were stunned for a long time.
The patient's body is like a complex system. After careful observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation, we can identify the locations where errors occur one by one, and then combine them to verify the diagnosis.
It seems simple at first glance, but when you actually put it into practice you will realize the mystery and difficulty involved.
But no matter what, it has helped the two of them find a good learning path.
At this time, Liu Mengxi also understood why every step Chen Yin took had to be recorded in the book.
For novice doctors like them, who have no experience, all they can do is work hard.
Write down all potential possibilities on paper, then use the knowledge you have learned to identify and verify them one by one. Although the process is slow, the results are amazing.
She wants to do it too!
"Yinyin, can you give me a piece of paper and a pen? I'd also like to take notes and help with the diagnosis later."
"sure."
Chen Yin nodded, took out a stack of papers from the booklet in her hand, took out a pen from her pocket, and handed them all to Liu Mengxi.
Qi Wenzhong had not yet forgotten the patient he had just seen. Before the patient entered the clinic, he anxiously asked:
"The patient just now suffered from deficiency of both yin and yang. How should I prescribe medicine?"
"She has a deficiency of both yin and yang. She should be treated with Guizhi Jia Longgu Muli Decoction with modifications."
As soon as Chen Yin mentioned the prescription, the two of them immediately recalled the recipe of Guizhi Jia Longgu Muli Decoction in their minds.
Finally, I have to say that the recipe used by Chen Yin is very wonderful.
With the two people giving thumbs up, the patient entered the clinic and felt the lively atmosphere inside, and his nervous mood was immediately relieved a lot.
In the following time, Liu Mengxi and Qi Wenzhong also followed Chen Yin when she was seeing patients.
The two of them wrote down everything they saw and heard on paper, regardless of whether it was useful or not, just write it down first and deal with the rest later.
In the middle of the process, while Chen Yin was prescribing the medicine, the two of them would take the initiative to ask the patient if they could also take his pulse.
It has to be said that Qi Wenzhong's identity as a medical student was surprisingly useful at this moment.
The good-tempered patients didn't care and just stretched out both hands, and each person examined one hand.
After the patient left, the two immediately took the initiative to explain their diagnosis results to Chen Yin based on what they had recorded.
If one or two points matched Chen Yin's diagnosis, the two of them would dance with joy.
If they made a mistake, they would only be discouraged for a short while before immediately picking themselves up and trying again.
In just less than two days, both of them felt that they had made a lot of progress.
Qi Wenzhong stood at the door of the clinic, holding the medical book lent to him by Chen Yin tightly in his arms, and was reluctant to move.
Seeing this, Chen Yin shook her head helplessly, "Hurry up and leave. If you don't leave now, you will miss the last bus back to the city. It's dangerous to take the bus at night. Remember to call the clinic when you get home."
When Liu Mengxi saw this scene, he stood behind Chen Yin, stood on tiptoe, and smiled proudly.
She followed Chen Yin's words and said, "That's right! Junior Brother Qi, you're still a student and should focus on your studies. Come back to school early, otherwise you won't be able to enter the dormitory."
Qi Wenzhong looked at Liu Mengxi's smiling face and couldn't help but grit his teeth and force a stiff smile.
Now he finally understood why he felt strange when he first saw Liu Mengxi standing next to Chen Yin in Huimin Hall?
It turned out that he saw a fellow of his kind, who was also a competitor.
Although the two of them had only been together for a little over a day, they racked their brains to learn more from Chen Yin.
If he leaves now, I think Liu Mengxi will definitely surpass him in progress.
Thinking of this, Qi Wenzhong became even more reluctant to leave. He wished the school would let him go right now and let him intern here.
Seeing that she couldn't make her point, Chen Yin had to change the subject.
"Don't forget, when you go back this time, I still have something for you to help with. Don't forget it!"
Sure enough, as soon as this topic was mentioned, Qi Wenzhong straightened his back instantly and held his head high with confidence.
"Sister Yinyin, don't worry. When I get home, I'll definitely ask my dad where they bought the herbs from. I'll also look for books on Chinese herbal medicine cultivation at the school and city libraries. I'll definitely bring some for you next time I come."
"I'm glad you didn't forget. If you don't have time to come, express delivery will do." Chen Yin thought she was giving a good suggestion.
Unexpectedly, when Qi Wenzhong heard this, he immediately got furious.
He raised his voice as if swearing, "Sister Yinyin, I'll bring the things back next weekend. You must wait for me to go to the free clinic together."
Liu Mengxi glanced at the time and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, okay! I won't forget you."
Chen Yin also nodded.
Only then did Qi Wenzhong reluctantly turn around and leave.
Looking at his departing figure, Liu Mengxi slowly breathed a sigh of relief, "This guy is finally willing to leave."
"What's wrong? You don't like him."
Liu Mengxi didn't expect Chen Yin to ask such a question. She recalled the scenes of being with Qi Wenzhong for the past two days in her mind several times, and her cheeks gradually became hot.
She waved her hands frantically, "No, no."
Realizing that her behavior seemed a little strange, she endured the burning sensation in her ears and said seriously:
"I just feel like he's always trying to steal you from me, and it's kind of annoying."
"Yeah?"
Chen Yin said with some confusion that in fact, apart from the first meeting in the past two days, she thought the two had a good relationship.
Liu Mengxi didn't want to continue this topic and quickly interrupted Chen Yin's thoughts.
"Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore. Let's go back quickly. We might have a patient coming in soon."
"Just wait outside. You've been feeling hot in there. Wait until someone comes."
As she spoke, Chen Yin took Liu Mengxi to the medicine cabinet.
In addition to the medicine cabinet and counter, there are also some tools for processing medicinal materials, so you can make something when you are free.
For example, if the medicinal materials purchased from Wu Yuzhu want to be used, some of them need further processing and preparation.
For example, she had previously made various maintenance pills for her grandparents.
Liu Mengxi watched Chen Yin's unhurried movements and started working along with her, enjoying the rare leisure time.
Just as Chen Yin had said before, the situation in the clinic returned to normal after she came back and worked for three or four days.
Only occasionally do some patients come to see a doctor, and the rest come for follow-up visits and to get medicine.
Chen Yin really enjoyed this kind of calmness that represented peace.
While she had nothing to do, she opened the book about Chinese medicinal herb cultivation sent by Uncle Xu and read it, preparing to discuss cultivation with her uncle when she returned home this weekend.
Liu Mengxi, who was standing by, knew Chen Yin's purpose. He took out the medical book borrowed from Chen Yin and read it attentively.
After staying in the clinic these days, she realized that she still had a lot of knowledge to learn and needed to make up for it.
Just as the two were immersed in reading, the sound of a car suddenly came from the road in front of the clinic.
But what made people look up was not the sound of the car, but the screams of people coming from outside.
Perhaps because she had experienced similar situations too many times, Chen Yin immediately realized that the car's destination was most likely their clinic.
She immediately put down the book in her hand, stood up, and walked towards the door.
At this time, the car was approaching the clinic, and the residents who had followed the car kept exclaiming outside the door.
"Oh my goodness! This is a refrigerator—"
"This is the first time I've seen such a big refrigerator. I heard that the best restaurants in town also have refrigerators, but they are definitely not as big as this."
"It should be some patient thanking Dr. Chen, right? I don't think Dr. Chen can afford it himself. That little bit of medical expenses is really cheap."
"You have a point."
…
A group of people looked at the refrigerator, large color TV and electric fan tied tightly in the back of the car, and couldn't help their curiosity, so they followed them all the way.
Liu Mengxi also heard these words. She quickly put down the book in her hand and hurried out the door.
At this time, Chen Yin stood at the door, looking at the pickup truck parked there in confusion.
When the driver Xiao Liu in the car saw Liu Mengxi chasing out of the door, he immediately opened the door and jumped out.
"Miss, I brought everything you wanted."
"Brother Liu, why did you bring it here? Aren't you going to drive my dad?"
Liu Mengxi looked at the person who appeared in front of him and couldn't help but ask questions.
"Haha! Actually, the boss asked me to come see how you are living here, miss, and to deliver everything you want."
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Mengxi immediately lost the desire to continue inquiring.
With a big wave of his hand, he ordered: "Move everything in and install it. We are all girls in the clinic, and we don't have that much strength."
At the command, Xiao Liu immediately asked people to start moving things.
This scene happened too quickly, and Chen Yin was so surprised that she had no time to stop it.
She turned her head to look at Liu Mengxi who seemed to be fine and asked:
"When did you ask your father for these things?"
"It was the morning after I arrived. Your clinic's clinic is really too small. It gets stuffy after staying there for a long time. A fan would be great to keep me warm. And didn't Auntie say that the vegetables at home are rotten and can't be eaten. With a refrigerator to store food, we don't have to worry about that anymore."
Liu Mengxi raised his head proudly, as if waiting for Chen Yin's praise.
But what she didn't expect was that Chen Yin not only didn't praise her, but instead scolded her.
"You mean, you gave all these things to the clinic?"
"No, have your family send all these things back. You came to the clinic to seek refuge, it's a gesture of friendship between us as classmates. We can't afford to give such expensive things. If you feel hot, I can buy an electric fan in town."
The serious tone made Liu Mengxi realize that Chen Yin really thought so, and he couldn't help but panic because of his own unauthorized decision.
Her mind worked at full speed and she soon came up with a good idea.
"No! I bought it for my own use. I just gave it to your clinic for use. As a price for your use, the electricity bill must be paid by your family."
Liu Mengxi blurted out all the words that came to his mind, breathing heavily nervously, his eyes moving around, waiting for Chen Yin's verdict.
After hearing this reason, Chen Yin's expression softened a lot.
"If you're going to use it yourself, why did you buy so many?"
At this point, Liu Mengxi immediately stretched out his fingers and counted, "The refrigerator is shared in the main room, there's one electric fan in the clinic, one in the main room, and one in each of our three rooms."
Before Chen Yin could open her mouth to refuse, she quickly added, "If I let the wind blow, you and Auntie will be too hot to sleep, and I will feel guilty."
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Liu, who heard this, immediately pointed to the air conditioner in the rear compartment and said:
"Miss, the boss is worried that you can't get used to the electric fan, so he sent an air conditioner. Where should I put it?"
"No, no! Take it back yourself."
Liu Mengxi really didn't dare to ask for an air conditioner. If she added a few more electrical appliances, the clinic's electricity bill would explode.
She donated electrical appliances to the clinic with good intentions, not to increase the clinic's burden.
If Chen Yin's opposition just now had not been so strong, she would have wanted to pay the clinic's electricity bill herself. After all, she was the one who paid the bulk of the bill.
When Xiao Liu saw the lady waving her hand, he stood there in a daze, not even blinking once.
He was obviously shocked by the young lady's behavior, which was so different from her usual behavior, and his brain was unable to function for a while.
Liu Mengxi looked at the motionless Xiao Liu, stomped his hands on the floor in frustration, and ordered arrogantly:
"Hurry up and move the things I want in!"
The sudden increase in volume finally brought Xiao Liu back to his senses. "Hey hey hey! Miss, where are all the things being moved to?"
"Follow me!" Liu Mengxi turned around gracefully, waved his hand, and pointed out the places where the electrical appliances were placed one by one.
Soon, all the electrical appliances were placed where she said.
After completing the mission, Xiao Liu immediately took his men away.
When Wu Dongmei heard the news and returned to the clinic, she was so surprised that she was speechless when she saw the refrigerator and fan placed in the main room.
Fans are not a big deal. As long as you are willing to spend a little money, it is not a problem for a family to buy an electric fan.
Their family never bought it because their daughter Chen Yin was studying away from home and she was reluctant to use it for herself.
But as for a refrigerator, not many people in town have even seen one, let alone bought one.
Wu Dongmei was surprised to feel the smooth and cool touch of the refrigerator surface, and turned to look at Liu Mengxi in confusion.
"Mengxi, why did you buy a refrigerator?"
"Prevent food from spoiling. Auntie, you know, there are a lot of bacteria on leftovers, and it's not good to leave them exposed to the outside for a long time. So, every meal we don't eat, as well as the leftover preserved meats at home, can be stored in the refrigerator. It's safe and healthy."
"Really? I thought you wanted a popsicle."
Wu Dongmei gently stroked the big thing in front of her with a sad look on her face, obviously a little stunned.
Liu Mengxi seemed to be suddenly awakened and said happily:
"Auntie, you're right. We can buy some popsicles and store them in the refrigerator. We can just take them out whenever we want to eat them. We can also put the mung bean soup and sour plum soup we usually make in the refrigerator to cool them down. When it's hot, have a bowl of it and you'll feel refreshed all over."
Wu Dongmei couldn't help but be attracted by the picture described by Liu Mengxi.
At this moment, she had forgotten the purpose of her question and was completely immersed in the imaginary scene.
The next second, Wu Dongmei woke up from her imagination and immediately decided, "Okay! Let's try sour plum soup for lunch today. Yinyin, go get a recipe for sour plum soup and I'll make it for you right away."
Chen Yin glanced at her mother, who had been fooled by Liu Mengxi into forgetting her original purpose, and shook her head helplessly.
But she still walked to the clinic, got the recipe for sour plum soup, handed it to her mother, and started to cook the sour plum soup.
Chen Yin and Liu Mengxi returned to the clinic in front and continued to see patients.
When it was noon and they were eating, they immediately saw the sour plum soup on the table.
Liu Mengxi looked at the sour plum soup with joy and quickly ran towards the dining table. As he ran, he exclaimed in surprise:
"The sour plum soup is ready so quickly!"
Hearing this, Wu Dongmei showed a smug smile on her face. "You know what, this refrigerator is really useful for making sour plum soup. The sour plum soup that was just boiled in it is as cold as if it had been left in a well overnight within an hour."
Liu Mengxi immediately placed her fingertips on the edge of the bowl, her eyes widening in surprise as if she was feeling it for the first time.
“It’s so cool!”
Amid the two people's exclamations, Chen Yin slowly sat down.
At just one glance, she saw tiny water droplets condensing on the edge of the bowl. Faintly, she seemed to see wisps of cool air swaying above the sour plum soup.
She had to admit that modern science and technology really amazed her.
Liu Mengxi simply didn't have that much patience. Although there was an electric fan during the consultation, she couldn't refuse the bright red, cold sour plum soup.
He immediately picked up the bowl and poured it directly into his mouth.
After taking a big sip, she couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction, "Comfortable——"
Looking at this scene, Wu Dongmei couldn't help but curl her lips and said with a smile:
"It's still cold in the refrigerator. If you feel too hot later, just pour it in the refrigerator and drink it yourself."
"Hehe! Thank you, Auntie."
Liu Mengxi smiled sweetly and continued to drink the sour, sweet and cool sour plum soup in her mouth.
The consequence was that I didn't eat much for lunch, and halfway through my afternoon stay in the clinic, my stomach started growling in front of the patients.
"hehe."
Liu Mengxi was embarrassed and subconsciously covered her stomach, not daring to face the patient and Chen Yin's eyes.
The patient glanced in Liu Mengxi's direction in surprise, but seeing Chen Yin's expression remained unchanged, she quickly put away the surprise on her face.
Liu Mengxi's awkward mood continued until the patient left.
As soon as she met Chen Yin's gaze, she knew what she wanted to say. She immediately raised her right hand and promised:
"Yinyin, don't worry, just this once, just this once. I will definitely eat well tomorrow!"
"That's good to know. Besides, iced sour plum soup is very cold. It's not good for your health if you drink it in moderation."
Chen Yin sighed helplessly, she really didn't know how to deal with such a slippery friend.
Liu Mengxi smiled awkwardly and began to miss the days when Qi Wenzhong was around.
Although the two of them would always play tricks on each other in order to compete for Chen Yin's attention when they were together, but with one more person around, Chen Yin's attention would not be all on herself. If she made any mistakes, there would be someone to cushion the blow and comfort her body and mind.
On the other side, Qi Wenzhong at school suddenly felt his ears burning and thought: Is someone talking about me?
He shook his head, interrupting the thought in his mind, and continued browsing along the bookshelf, trying to find books related to the Chinese medicinal materials grown in their area.
At the end of the day, he found an armful of books.
