Chapter 123 Buying Wound-Suppressing Powder as Meal
"Then you'd better hurry up, otherwise when there are more people, I'll have to go inside and start working." The worker put the broom in his lap and then accepted the money.
The two sisters nodded and thanked her repeatedly before entering the clinic.
This time, they obediently lined up behind three people, waiting to see a doctor.
There was only one doctor on duty in the room, who was about forty years old.
Although he is not old, he seemed relaxed and trustworthy when seeing a doctor.
The doctor picked up his pen, wrote down a prescription, and handed it to the person in front of him in line, telling him to go and get the medicine.
I glanced at them; there were no obvious symptoms.
Then, looking at Lin Chunyi who appeared to have slightly poor blood circulation, he asked, "Where do you feel unwell?"
Awesome...
Lin Chunyi honestly replied, "Dr. Huang, my shoulder was scratched by a wolf last night. After I got home, I cleaned it and applied hemostatic powder."
This morning my hair cracked and hurt again, and it was also oozing yellow fluid. I wanted to ask you what I should do now. How do I know this doctor's surname is Huang? Because there's a small wooden sign hanging on his desk…
Dr. Huang looked somewhat surprised. He had only suffered one scratch from the wolf?
He said, "Left hand, let me take a look." After taking the pulse, he checked the right hand and confirmed that there was indeed no internal injury.
Then he called out behind him, "Xiaoyue."
In less than ten breaths, a ten-year-old girl with her hair in two buns ran in, lifting the curtain. "Grandfather, did you call me?"
He gently stroked the little girl's hair and said, "Take this patient to the backyard, take a close look at her wound, and come back and tell me in detail."
Lin Lanshan breathed a sigh of relief. So that's how it can be done. She felt relieved.
“Okay, Grandfather, don’t worry, I remember everything. Sister, come with me.” She pulled Lin Chunyi directly to the backyard.
Dr. Huang said to Lin Lanshan, "Wait over there." Then he called the next patient.
After an incense stick had burned, the two came out.
The little girl told Dr. Huang that the patient had three scratches on his back, one deep and two shallow...
After listening to the doctor's explanation, Dr. Huang called Lin Chunyi over and said, "Your injury is nothing serious, just continue applying the medicine."
The cotton cloth can no longer be used; it will hinder the healing of the wound. After applying the medicine, bandage it with fine gauze, and remove it once a scab forms.
She then asked the doctor if she wanted to buy a few bottles of the best hemostatic powder.
"Go find Manager Yang up ahead." Doctor Huang saw that they wanted to buy the best hemostatic powder and planned to buy several bottles, so they must have plenty of money.
He then offered a word of advice: "You suffered an external injury and lost a lot of energy and blood. You should eat some red dates regularly, and it would be best to also buy some astragalus and goji berries to stew with chicken soup and drink it for a few days."
A person living in poverty wouldn't talk about these things. For them, simply relieving the pain and staying alive is a blessing. Talking about spending money on health supplements would only add to the patient's worries.
The two sisters bowed and said, "Thank you, Doctor Huang." They also thanked the little girl who was standing quietly next to Doctor Huang.
The little girl was somewhat happy, but then pretended to be serious and said proudly, "You're welcome. I'm going to be a doctor someday, this is what I should do."
"Thank you so much, little doctor." The little girl couldn't hold back anymore, shaking her grandfather's sleeve and saying that she was the little doctor now.
The two sisters smiled and went to the medicine dispensing area to find Manager Yang.
Lin Chunyi looked down and realized that the person who was looking down at the abacus was indeed an acquaintance... Manager Yang, who had bought her ginseng.
However, she was wearing makeup last time, so I definitely wouldn't recognize her.
She stepped forward and asked, "Manager Yang, how much is a bottle of your best hemostatic powder?"
Manager Yang looked up and said, "Golden Wound Powder, it stops bleeding and relieves pain, and it will be effective in half an incense stick's time. It costs four taels of silver per bottle."
Although it was within an acceptable range, the two still felt a sharp pain in their wallets and even hesitated whether they should just buy two bottles.
Lin Lanshan thought about what she had said last night: "Don't worry about a few taels, I'll buy it even if it costs tens of taels... My life is more important!"
She asked, "What is the shelf life of this medicine?"
He swallowed hard, shut his mouth, and continued, "How long can this medicine be stored?"
Shopkeeper Yang thought to himself: Who buys Jin Chuang San and asks how long it can be stored? How many bottles do they want to buy? Are they going to eat it as food?
But the answer was still, "The efficacy can be guaranteed for up to three years."
Lin Lanshan calculated the amount of medicine in the small porcelain bottle; it would be enough for one use if she suffered a slightly serious injury.
So, with tears welling up in his eyes, he declared boldly, "Manager Yang, we want five bottles!"
Lin Chunyi's expression was also somewhat unspeakable. Who would buy five bottles of Jin Chuang San at once?
Those who heard this might have thought they were dangerous individuals, out there committing murder and robbery every day.
Shopkeeper Yang was also shocked. These two girls really wanted to eat Jin Chuang San (a traditional Chinese medicine for treating sores) like food... Never mind them, making money is the priority.
He turned around and took out five small porcelain bottles from a cabinet. "It's twenty taels in total."
The two sisters stared wide-eyed at the five bottles on the counter.
The bottle of hemostatic powder was only half the thickness of a wrist, which they thought was small enough.
I never imagined that Jin Chuang San, which costs so much more, would have a bottle that's only about the thickness of two fingers...
At that moment, their first thought was admiration for the ancient porcelain makers!
Secondly, I want to condemn the renowned Jishetang for starting to embezzle money from ordinary people!
This is outrageous! Such a small bottle, but if you get injured just once, it'll probably cost you ten taels of silver.
Seeing their displeased expressions, Manager Yang explained:
"Jin Chuang San is different from ordinary hemostatic powder; it can also promote tissue regeneration and stop sores. One use is equivalent to two bottles of hemostatic powder."
The bottles are small because they are more convenient to carry around. "People who travel the world usually carry one or two bottles on their waist."
What could they say? Of course, they would say, "Manager Yang, since we've bought so much, could you throw in some fine gauze for bandaging?" Then they would take out their money.
Manager Yang packed the items and said with a smile, "Of course, I'll also give you a small packet of astragalus and goji berries."
"Take care, ladies." He had already heard from afar that two big customers wanted to buy several bottles of the best hemostatic powder.
The two sisters came out of Jishetang looking like they had been drained of most of their energy... I couldn't help but sigh: Indeed, you can't afford to get sick in life!
Lin Chunyi took a deep breath. "I can smell the aroma of meat patties! Let's go get some nourishment!"
It hurts to spend money on medicine. But it brings joy to consume it!
They thanked the helper who had been watching the mule cart and then drove away from Jishetang.
The two of them stopped taking a car and, holding Taozi's hand, wandered aimlessly around the city, going wherever there was good food.
He planned to vent his frustration at having spent money on medicine by buying food.
They bought four hot, round red bean paste-filled sesame balls from a street stall.
Lin Chunyi had just brought it to her lips when she opened them and bit into a mouthful of air!
Someone tapped her on the shoulder from behind, causing Ma Tuan to fall to the ground.
She watched helplessly as the hemp ball bounced on the ground and then drifted away from her...
Who is it? Can't they see clearly?!
She wanted to yell at him, but gritted her teeth and held back. What if he was someone she couldn't afford to offend?
So he turned around with a forced smile and asked, "Excuse me, is there something you need?"
