Before Fang Dongming could stop him, Xu Dayi had already answered, "Three taels of silver for one serving, and we ate three servings."
Xu Dayi felt that the price of this medicine was already much cheaper than the one that Dr. Fang brought today.
Upon hearing this, Su Ruojin's smile widened, but this smile sent a chill down the spine of Xu Dayi, who was standing next to her.
Yanluo knew Su Ruojin well, so she naturally knew that her young mistress was angry.
"Dr. Fang, calling you an exorbitant ask is too kind. You're practically a rip-off. This prescription costs at most two hundred coins, not three taels of silver!" Su Ruojin said directly.
A hint of guilt flashed in Fang Dongming's eyes; he hadn't expected this little girl to actually know medicine.
A doctor who understands medicine can naturally deduce the price of medicine based on the prescription.
He concealed the guilt in his eyes and retorted angrily, "What do you know! The prescription may not be expensive, but not just anyone can write such a suitable prescription!"
Fang Dongming is right. Some doctors charge high consultation fees, not because the prescriptions they prescribe are expensive, but because of the consultation fees.
What's the use of cheap medicine if a doctor can't diagnose the cause of an illness? Can he even prescribe a prescription?
"Young Master Xu, do you have any other prescriptions from other doctors?" Su Ruojin remembered that the waiter had mentioned that this Young Master Xu had consulted different doctors.
"Oh, yes, I do." Xu Dayi took out a few more prescriptions and handed them to Su Ruojin.
Su Ruojin looked through them one by one, "Young Master Xu, how much do these prescriptions cost?"
“There are two hundred coins, three hundred coins, and five hundred coins,” Xu Dayi replied honestly.
For some reason, he had previously doubted whether this little girl could keep an eye on his uncle, but now the confidence in her eyes was making him gradually start to believe her.
Previously, Xu Dayi, because of Su Ruojin's words "poisoned", thought that since so many doctors had failed to cure his uncle, he might as well try anything and went to Su Ruojin for help.
Later, when Dr. Fang arrived, he couldn't help but trust this famous doctor from Yulin City. The doctor was still concerned about his uncle's illness and personally delivered medicine to his door. Xu Dayi was still willing to remember this kindness.
It wasn't until Dr. Fang revealed the price of the medicine and Su Ruojin raised her questions that Xu Dayi began to have doubts.
When Su Ruojin heard Xu Dayi mention the prices of the medicines, she realized that they were all within a fair range compared to the prices of the medicinal materials.
For the same illness, there are thousands of different treatments. It is rare for two doctors to prescribe the exact same medicine for the same ailment, but there is still some comparative value.
Su Ruojin took out two prescriptions and placed them in front of Fang Dongming. "Doctor Fang, these two prescriptions are similar to the ones you prescribed. In fact, two of the herbs in these prescriptions are more expensive than the ones in your prescription. They only cost five hundred coins."
Fang Dongming retorted, "Their medical skills are nowhere near as good as mine!"
Different medical skills naturally lead to different prices; that's only natural.
Ignoring Fang Dongming's explanation, Su Ruojin continued, "And this prescription of yours today, let alone how many slices of century-old ginseng you can use in this one dose, even if you use Falling Star Poria, its price in the capital is only one tael of silver per plant, and the price in Yulin will not exceed two taels."
"You dare sell such a prescription for one hundred taels of silver, Doctor Fang? Taking advantage of a patient's critical condition, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"
Su Ruojin despised doctors who were greedy and exploited patients.
People die for wealth, birds die for food; there will always be people in this world who disregard the lives of others for money—that's just human nature.
"You say you have good medical skills?" Su Ruojin laughed. "Dr. Fang, if you have good medical skills, why can't you see that this person's condition has been deteriorating for so long, and it's not a lung injury at all, but poisoning! And yet you still dare to call yourself a good doctor?"
"Exactly! At your age, you're shameless!" Yan Luo retorted angrily, showing no mercy.
