Chapter 173: Medicinal Diet
As usual, the sun had just risen over the treetops. On the bamboo chair in front of the Loujia Medical Hall, there are already a lot of patients waiting for treatment, the shed made of green bamboo above the head blocks the slightly hot sun, and there are tea and snacks and various chess and card games on the stone table. But it doesn't have the tension and almost suffocating pain of other hospitals.
“…… What's wrong with the Goddess Doctor today? Ugly face? ”
Zhou, the proprietress of Yongning Silk Shop, stretched out her hand to Gao Ran and asked him to take his pulse, and at the same time, as usual, she accosted our beautiful man, Dr. Gao, but this time, she didn't have nothing to say. Instead, he looked at Xiao Ru, who was sitting behind the screen and decocting medicine, rather curiously.
It's no wonder she was curious, this Zhou didn't pay attention in his early years, and fell into a rheumatism, like this disease, there is no way to cure it, so she can only try to alleviate it, Xiaoru according to the formula found by her father, try to make several plasters, and there are some effects, plus this woman is also a pretty, the first time she saw Gao Ran, she was committed to telling her daughter to him to be a daughter-in-law, regardless of her baby girl who was just eight years old this year, so she naturally became a frequent visitor to the Loujia Medical Center (this word is used in the medical hall, Looks awkward! ), to be able to meet Xiaoru often.
Usually, when Xiaoru faces patients, as long as you don't make trouble and provoke her, she is always smiling and welcoming people, so that the patients are like a spring breeze, which one doesn't say a word about the goddess doctor is gentle and virtuous! But today, Xiao Ru's face tightened early in the morning, her face was not only ugly, but it was simply dark, and the voices of the sick people were automatically lowered a lot. Even those few women and patients who were more familiar with it didn't dare to 'tease' Gao Ran.
"Is there one?" Gao Ran turned his head and looked at it, and said seriously, "I think she is normal today, if only she was so normal every day." ”
Today, the young lady of the Lou family went to sit in the infirmary, and his medical treatment was nearly twice as fast, and those women who like to talk nonsense are all too honest to be honest, just for this, Gao Ran can't wait for Xiao Ru to sit in the infirmary with a black face every day.
In fact, it's no wonder that Xiaoru is angry, her mother-in-law was injured, but she can't go to the 'murderer' to put out the fire, this stomach is depressed and suffocated in her heart, can she not feel uncomfortable!
The reason why the old lady of the Lou family was injured was entirely because of a stunned boy who was a hero and caught a thief on the street.
The stunned boy saw a thief and rushed up to catch him very bravely, but he was not a great master, only a handful of strength, and the thief. The two of them fought, not only ruined a lot of small stalls on the street, but also accidentally bumped into their mother-in-law, and rubbed their legs against a basket made of bamboo slivers, so they were injured and tossed, and the things that were destroyed alone were much more than the little money that the thief stole from, not to mention the good medicinal materials used by his mother-in-law.
Xiao Ru was originally a bastard who wanted to hurt his mother-in-law, but unfortunately, that heroic stunned boy was Lou Yixiao, including Ding Feng, the three of them grew up together, plus his sincere attitude of admitting his mistakes, the old man punished him for standing in the yard with a basin on his head for half a night, and Xiao Ru didn't want to say anything more, so this matter was over.
However, although Xiaoru said that she had just revealed it on her face, she was still unhappy in her heart, so she was full of resentment early in the morning, so that the patients in the hospital saw a black face.
After a while, the casserole began to bone, and white smoke flew off.
Xiaoyan took the medicine bowl and handed it to Xiao Ru, Xiao Ru put out the fire with a cold face, took a wet towel to pad her hands, and opened the lid on the casserole, instantly. A sweet smell came out with the autumn wind, causing the patients to salivate, Zhou was the closest, smelled the most clearly, and couldn't help swallowing saliva, and asked with a smile: "Goddess doctor, what kind of medicine is this, why does it taste so good?" ”
Xiaoru was stunned, smiled, boiled the medicinal diet for a while, and felt a little better, "This is medicinal food, lotus seeds, red dates, longan soup." Xiaoru looked up, saw that everyone was very curious, and said with a smile, "Now that autumn is in, it is a good time to eat lotus seeds, lotus seeds have a good effect on nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, strengthening the spleen, tonifying the kidneys, delaying aging, etc., and some people even exaggerated that lotus seeds can make people rejuvenate and live forever, hehe, of course this is impossible." However, it is a good university, and when you go back, you can cook and eat more. ”
A room full of patients nodded in surprise, especially when they heard the words 'rejuvenation, immortality', everyone came to the spirit, although the goddess doctor said that the lotus seed does not have such a great effect, but since there are such rumors, it must have a certain effect, otherwise. Why don't others say anything else, just lotus seeds!
All of a sudden, almost everyone clamored to buy more lotus seeds to eat, and some people asked Xiaoru to boil some medicinal food to sell, and gave a lot of ideas.
Xiao Ru looked at the eyes full of admiration, crying and laughing, when it came to selling medicinal food, she had a little idea, Xiaoyan is now a teacher, and her understanding of medicinal food is not much different from that of Xiaoru, and she can be allowed to open a medicinal food shop Later, after Xiaoyan got married, she really took the dowry given by Xiao Ru to open a medicinal food shop, and the business was very good, and this girl became a little rich woman in a few years, of course, this is a later story, don't mention it now.
Picking up the medicinal food cooked for her mother-in-law, Xiaoru hurriedly left the hospital under the eyes of everyone.
The medical skills of this era have not yet arrived, Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" has not yet been written, and the role of many foods that people are familiar with is still little known today.
Therefore, Xiaoru, the goddess doctor, in the eyes of others, has become a good doctor who does not hide his selfishness and thinks about his patients, which is also a very important reason why she can quickly become famous in this era.
The autumn wind is getting cooler and cooler, and the leaves of the trees in the garden are beginning to turn yellow, and when the wind blows, it falls like rain.
The bedroom was lit with silver carbon, which was very warm, and the fragrance of the incense burner was elegant. There was a thin silk-faced quilt on the beauty couch next to the bed, and the little fox dog curled up into a small ball on the pink quilt, which was very cute, and Duoduo stood on the low table next to the beauty couch, holding a handful of peanuts in his hand, and was neatly peeling the peanut shell, and the red peanut kernels were resting in the blue disk after the rain.
As soon as he saw Xiao Ru enter the house, the little fox immediately got up, shook the hair on his body, shook his head, jumped into Xiao Ru's arms at once, and hummed twice like a coquette.
Xiaoru put the medicine bowl on the kang table made of mahogany, then hugged the little fox, nodded its wet little nose, turned her head, and smiled at Duoduo: "Duoduo, are peanuts for me to eat?" ”
As a result, the little monkey blinked in embarrassment, and with his two paws quickly grabbed most of the peanut kernels and put them in his pocket, and only then pushed the rest in front of Xiao Ru, and made a triumphant look on his face that he had eaten all for his master, which made Mrs. Lou so happy - "What a clever monkey." Xiaoru, come, come and sit for a while, by the way, Brother Fan is still sleeping? ”
Recently, the baby grandson has suddenly become a lot lazy, and he used to want to give birth to eight feet and run around, making the family uneasy, but this month, suddenly quieted down, more and more like a little adult, and the old lady Lou began to feel uncomfortable.
Xiaoru helped her mother-in-law blow the medicinal food cool, and said with a smile: "That kid has recently been obsessed with the stickers I made for her, and he doesn't let go all day long, this is good, save me from messing around every day, let everyone toss with it, mother, what do you think, does your leg still hurt?" ”
Mrs. Lou's face flushed, and she waved her hand in a wry: "Such a small injury, it doesn't hurt anymore, don't think I'm too useless as an old woman, when we climbed mountains and waded in the past, this kind of injury was not a common thing!" ”
In the troubled times, she and her daughter-in-law wandered around together, although there were not many cases of bandits encountered in the mountains and forests, but there were also so many times, which time was not to run all over the body, only to get rid of those bandits, the injury was much more serious than the current one, and it was not just a little medicine to finish, how can there be good conditions now......
It's strange to say, those bandits are obviously much stronger than old women and little girls like themselves and Xiaoru, but in the mountains, as long as they and their daughter-in-law start running, they don't even need to distinguish the road, they will be able to get rid of them, the old lady Lou used to believe in Buddhism, since the beginning of the escape, more and more good things have been encountered, that is more believing, now if you don't recite the Buddhist scriptures a few times a day, the old lady will feel uncomfortable, and always feel uncomfortable!
If Xiaoru knew that she was often forced by her mother-in-law to recite Buddhist scriptures, and occasionally bathed and fasted, she came from this, I don't know if she would be angry to death? Their luck has nothing to do with the Buddha, it is all Xiaoru's own credit, but unfortunately, this kind of thing can't be said to her mother-in-law anyway, even if she says it, her mother-in-law won't believe it, fortunately, the old lady just believes in Buddhism, and it's not a bad thing, but it can cultivate self-cultivation and be good for the body, which is good.
I checked the wound again, although the recovery was not fast, but it was really fine, Xiao Ru put her mind at ease, picked up the medicine bowl, tasted the medicinal food, and felt that the medicinal food had become warm, Xiao Ru carefully handed the medicine bowl to her mother-in-law, and said with a smile: "Mother, come, red dates are added to it, which can replenish blood, so you can drink more." ”
The old lady Lou was also rarely obedient, obediently took the bowl and drank slowly, Xiaoru sat down on the beauty couch, leaned on the cushion, took the book casually, and began to look through it, but in her heart she thought of the letter that Ding Feng had just sent, saying that he personally went to Shangning County, and there was a strange thing, Shangning County in the past six months, there were two suicide cases, one was an old man about seventy years old who committed suicide, or threw himself into a well, and the other one, although he was a girl, he also hanged himself, but it was by no means Qiu Xiaoyun, it was an unknown female corpse, Now the notice is still posted in front of the yamen, and no one has been waiting for the body to be identified......
Xiao Ru sighed, the regulars and proprietress of Fengxiang Inn obviously said that they had been there several times, but Ding Feng went to the Shangning County Ya for the second time, but he didn't find the relevant case files? At this moment, even Xiaoru's curiosity is very strong, and this 'ghost' may have to be caught.
