Chapter 38 Seeds
"Hey, Madam Xu, how are you?"
Xu Miaomiao had just finished packing the herbs when she heard the man slowly approaching and speaking as he walked.
Xu Miaomiao looked up and saw Zhang Zhang, the owner of "Yi Man Lou" whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
"Doctor Zhang, why did you come to see us when you haven't been seeing patients for a few days?"
"Doctor Xu, please stop pretending with me. No one would come to other clinics with you around."
Zhang Zhang took out a folding fan and slowly opened it and waved it. He didn't look like a doctor, but rather a dandy young man.
"So, Doctor Zhang is here to call for justice?"
Xu Miaomiao was not at all nervous. She looked at him and asked.
"No, no." Zhang Zhang shook his head and said, "Doctor Xu is so famous, how dare I bully you? Let me ask you, do you really not want to join our Yimanlou?"
Xu Miaomiao remained silent.
Seeing the woman thinking, Zhang Zhang pretended to hold a fan and slowly said, "I guess Doctor Xu hasn't had a good time these past two days."
"Haha." Xu Miaomiao laughed and looked at Zhang Zhang and said, "It turned out to be you who did it."
She had some doubts at first, but now she is sure.
"Madam Xu, I used to be afraid of you, but now you may have offended the noble. If the noble wants to punish you, I can't do anything about it." Zhang Zhang said as he took two steps closer to Xu Miaomiao and whispered in her ear: "Why don't you join us? Our medicine is just expensive, but we are also saving people. When the time comes, I can also say a few good words for you in front of the noble."
"Humph!" Xu Miaomiao stared at the man without letting go, and angrily threw the teacup on the table at the man's feet: "Listen carefully, I, Xu Miaomiao, would rather close this clinic than get involved with people like you who go against medical ethics."
"Well, since you don't know what's good for you, just wait and see." Zhang Zhang angrily waved his sleeves and walked out of the house.
Although he offended other clinics in the market, Xu Miaomiao's words were heard by the beggars around him. Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. For a while, everyone was praising Xu Miaomiao's medical ethics.
But she couldn't be happy, after all, a big tree attracts the wind.
With the promotion of everyone, more and more people come to Xu Miaomiao's clinic.
Also, because it is the beginning of winter, many people have caught colds.
Sometimes Xu Miaomiao didn’t have time to eat in a whole day, but her panaceas were praised by everyone.
"One coin of Angelica dahurica and one ounce of Paris polyphylla."
Xu Miaomiao handed the prescription to Song Weiwei, but Song Weiwei hesitated: "There is no Chonglou anymore."
There were so many people coming here these days that Chonglou had already sold out.
"Doctor Xu, you must help me."
When the waiting patients heard that she had no medicine, they panicked and held onto Xu Miaomiao, not daring to let go. The medicines in other pharmacies were several times more expensive, and they could not afford them.
"Don't worry."
After Xu Miaomiao calmed the person down, she walked to the side, took out some herbs such as Fritillaria cirrhosa from the space and handed them to Song Weiwei. Fortunately, she had put some extra ones in the space before.
Only after prescribing medicine for the remaining patients did Xu Miaomiao breathe a sigh of relief.
Song Weiwei was so tired that she slumped in the chair and looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "We have run out of things to buy. Do we still want to keep the store open?"
Xu Miaomiao understood and said firmly: "Open!"
After a tiring day, Xu Miaomiao waited for Song Weiwei to leave and then went to the pharmacy.
"Boss, I need some herbs."
"Okay, how much do you want, ma'am?" The boss turned his back to Xu Miaomiao and opened the drawer of the medicine box.
"No more, no less."
As soon as Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, the man turned around curiously, and when he saw that it was Xu Miaomiao, he quickly said, "No more, all the medicine has been bought."
Xu Miaomiao responded anxiously, "You still have some, why don't you sell it to me? I can pay more."
The boss felt a little guilty, and he still responded when he saw Xu Miaomiao: "To tell you the truth, it's not the medicine. My lady, you have offended Mr. Cui's wife and you haven't joined Yi Man Lou. I really can't sell it to you. No drugstore in this market dares to do business with you."
"Thank you very much."
Xu Miaomiao bowed to express her gratitude, and not wanting to embarrass the man in front of her, she turned and left.
The streets were bustling with people, but Xu Miaomiao was wandering around the house with a purpose.
Without herbs, how can Jishidiang continue to operate?
Xu Miaomiao was puzzled, and when she looked around, she happened to see a woman who was buying seeds nearby.
"Madam, what seeds do you want to buy?"
When the woman saw Xu Miaomiao coming, she took out some seeds for Xu Miaomiao to choose.
"Boss, do you have any medicinal seeds?"
Xu Miaomiao asked, and the proprietress nodded and began to search carefully in a pile of cloth bags.
"Yes, there are some, but not much. Do you want more, ma'am?"
Xu Miaomiao was delighted. Although there were not many, at least all the varieties were complete. She could take the seeds back and plant them in the space. They would surely grow smoothly under the appropriate warmth. In addition, there were some finished products in the space, which would be enough for her to hold on for a while.
Xu Miaomiao immediately bought all the seeds and planted them in the space, and then placed the finished products in the cabinet of the clinic.
After a careful inspection, I went home satisfied this time.
"Mother has been so busy lately that she doesn't have time to play with the baby."
As soon as they got home, the little girl surrounded Xu Miaomiao and hid in her arms and acted coquettishly.
A blush crept up her cheeks and Xu Miaomiao felt guilty. She had indeed not spent enough time with her children for several days. However, the clinic had just opened and was still quite busy. She was unable to take care of everything and could only buy some snacks and fruits for the children.
"Xu Miaomiao, you are amazing. You can conjure up so many medicinal herbs overnight."
The next day, Song Weiwei looked at the full medicine cabinet and said in surprise: "Are you still the vicious idiot I knew before? Could it be that you were eaten by a monster and a new Xu Miaomiao came in?"
"What nonsense are you talking about." Xu Miaomiao slapped her hand away and said jokingly, "I just suddenly realized that the medical skills I have studied may be a good talent."
"whispering sound."
Song Weiwei turned and left after she finished speaking.
Seeing her walk away, Xu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Even Song Weiwei would be suspicious, let alone Song Wushao. She really hadn't figured out how to explain to them the fact that he suddenly learned medical skills.
Because of the herbs Xu Miaomiao brought yesterday, the clinic has been relatively peaceful over the past two days.
"Xu Miaomiao, it's windy today. We have to leave quickly, otherwise we won't be able to go back if it rains heavily."
Song Weiwei said as she was pulling a bullock cart at the door in the strong wind.
“Here I come.”
Looking at the sky, it seemed that no one would come. Xu Miaomiao checked the shop carefully several times, this time closed the door, got on the ox cart and left with Song Weiwei.
At ten o'clock in the night, the raindrops outside the house stayed on the house along with thunder and lightning.
Xu Miaomiao saw a figure in front of the bed after the lightning, and was startled. After she recovered and turned on the light, she spoke: "It's Xiaobao, why aren't you sleeping?"
The little boy waved his fingers and gestured: It's thundering. He's scared and wants to sleep with his mother.
Xu Miaomiao comforted the little boy in front of her and agreed immediately.
He glanced at Song Wushao beside him, then carried Xiaobao to another bed.
Ever since she started telling stories to Song Wu Shao, they have gotten used to sleeping together. Now that there is one more person, the small bed is naturally not enough.
