Chapter 55 Southern Medicine King



"Hey, what kind of soup are you making today?"

When Shen Fugui came back, he smelled the aroma of meat. He sniffed and felt hungry.

"I'm back!"

Zhou Xiuqin brought out the dishes one by one and said, "Go get the bowls and chopsticks."

Shen Fugui first uncovered the ceramic jar on the table. When he saw the leaves floating on the jar, he exclaimed, "Golden Thread Lotus! It's still fresh. When did you buy it?"

Zhou Xiuqin smiled but said nothing.

Shen Fugui asked again, "How much is this golden thread lotus per pound? I remember last time I went to the supermarket, the raw ones were over 100 yuan per pound, and the dried ones were over 2,000 yuan."

"We bought about 100 yuan!" Zhou Xiuqin lied.

“It’s quite expensive.”

Shen Fugui washed his hands, took out the bowl and chopsticks, and poured himself a bowl of soup first.

The soup was too hot, so he didn't dare drink it right away and put it aside to cool.

At this time, Shen Yunzhao came over holding Yaoyao.

Yaoyao has been very active in eating recently. As soon as it is time to eat, she crawls over on her short legs.

"Don't move! Mommy will carry you up!"

Shen Yunzhao picked up Yaoyao and carried her to sit on the children's chair.

Then he picked up a piece of pork ribs. The ribs had been stewed for a long time and were a little soft.

Shen Yunzhao used chopsticks to remove the bones from the ribs, then cut the meat into small pieces with scissors and put them in her small bowl.

“Ahhhh!”

When Yaoyao saw the ribs, she slapped the chair hard and kicked her legs, she was extremely excited.

"Wait a minute, I'll feed you right away!"

Yaoyao's meal had been prepared in advance and had already gone cold.

After the ribs cooled down, Shen Yunzhao put a little bit of ribs into the bowl, added half a spoonful of rice, and slowly fed it to Yaoyao.

Yaoyao opened her mouth wide, quickly finished the food in the spoon, and opened her mouth again.

"Yaoyao has been eating so well lately!"

Zhou Xiuqin looked at Yaoyao with a smile on her face, full of relief.

"Yaoyao's appetite has really increased a lot!" Shen Fugui also interrupted, "I told you, children will change. Just because she doesn't drink milk right after she's born doesn't mean she won't drink it in the future! You guys are always worried that she won't grow taller because she doesn't like to eat!"

Shen Yunzhao didn't say anything. She knew that Yaoyao's appetite had improved, not because she had grown up, but because of the space.

In the dream, Yaoyao was always covered with rice crumbs and was very picky about food. She wouldn't eat this or that, which made them worry a lot.

"Hey, this golden thread lotus soup is delicious!"

Shen Fugui took a sip of the soup, and his mouth was filled with the faint fragrance of golden thread vine, blending with the aroma of meat. The soup was light, but particularly delicious.

After taking a sip of the soup, I felt a warm current passing through my stomach, as if all the meridians in my body were opened up, and I felt very comfortable.

In the past, Shen Fugui drank soup quickly, just like an old cow drinking water.

But this time he drank slowly, wanting to savor the delicious taste slowly.

Shen Yunzhao also took a sip of the soup, thinking to himself that it was indeed produced by the space, and must be a high-quality product.

"Dad, I still have a lot of golden thread lotus here, you can use it to make tea."

"Drink it in water? That's such a waste!" Shen Fugui knew how expensive golden thread vine was. One pound cost more than 2,000 yuan, and he couldn't afford it.

"Just accept what your daughter gave you. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Zhou Xiuqin retorted.

"Golden thread lotus is so expensive, it's okay to eat it occasionally, who would eat it often?" Shen Fugui retorted, "Yun Zhao has a hard time making money, why don't you think about her?"

"If your daughter can come up with it, it means she has a way! Just eat it, why are you asking so many questions?"

"You old woman..."

Shen Fugui was about to speak when Cheng Shaoyuan said, "Dad, this was planted by Yun Zhao's friend. It doesn't cost much to buy it."

Seeing that his son-in-law said so, Shen Fugui no longer refused.

"Well, alright then!"

After dinner, Shen Fugui went to the store with a thermos cup.

This is the extra-large thermos cup that Shen Yunzhao bought, which can hold 1L of water.

He put a dozen golden thread vines in the water, added boiling water, and after a while when the water was no longer so hot, he could drink it.

Humming a song, Shen Fugui arrived at the store. As soon as he opened the door, a customer came in.

“Doctor Shen, my mother’s waist has been a little painful recently, I want to buy some ointment.”

"Lao Wang, where does your mother hurt?"

"It just happens that the pain is on both sides of the spine."

Shen Fugui quickly determined the cause of Lao Wang's mother's pain, which was back pain caused by lumbar muscle strain, and gave Lao Wang a box of plaster.

When Lao Wang paid, he complained, “Doctor Shen, why is this plaster getting more and more expensive now?”

"Oh, there's nothing I can do! Plasters are all priced this way now. When I buy them from pharmaceutical companies, the prices are already very high."

Lao Wang was very familiar with Shen Fugui and was not in a hurry to leave. After taking the ointment, he sat on a chair and chatted with him.

Shen Fugui made tea and poured a cup for Lao Wang, but he poured the water in the thermos into the cup himself.

"Doctor Shen, what are you drinking?" Old Wang asked curiously.

"Haha, my daughter bought me some golden thread lotus today. She told me to make tea with it."

"Golden Thread Lotus? That's a good thing! It's said to cure diabetes. Is that true?"

"Yes. Golden thread lotus is a good thing, known as the 'King of Southern Medicines'. It's very effective in treating various diseases, including diabetes."

Lao Wang was very interested. His blood sugar was very high. He measured it this morning and it was 15 before meals, far exceeding the normal standard.

"Really?"

"Indeed, it can. But the golden thread vines on the market now are all artificially cultivated, and their medicinal value is greatly reduced. If they are wild, their medicinal value is indeed high."
