Chapter 578 Summer Foods Perish Easily
"Master! You are here."
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Hongxia closed the drawer and turned around to look at Jiang Fubao. She stood straight with her chest and head held high as if she was doing military training, which made Jiang Fubao laugh out loud on the spot.
"Haha, don't be nervous. From now on, just treat this place as your home. You might spend more time here than at home. Have you finished reading all the herbs? If not, continue reading. Match the appearance with the name and remember where they are. Ask others for words you don't know. Lao Wu, you will be responsible for taking care of her from now on."
After Jiang Fubao finished speaking to Shao Siyou, he went to the backyard.
"Second sister, Shopkeeper Bai will be here at noon today. Please prepare the tonic soup in advance. Don't make him wait too long like last time."
"Okay, I'll go and cook it right away." Jiang Ruyi was washing vegetables in the yard with the cook.
After hearing her sister's instructions, she wiped her hands on her apron, stood up and went to get the medicine.
Jiang Fubao chatted with the cook for a while until she heard Dan'er's voice welcoming guests from the front of the clinic, and then she left.
"Madam, please sit here and put your wrists up. I will call Doctor Jiang over right away. Don't worry."
When I got to the front, I just saw Daner helping a woman sit on a chair.
When outsiders were present, the servants called Jiang Fubao "Doctor Jiang".
Jiang Fubao came to the woman and sat down.
Then he placed his fingers directly on her wrist.
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Jiang Fubao asked.
"I just went to bed last night when my stomach started to hurt. I went to the toilet more than ten times. I really didn't sleep all night. I went to the toilet all night. Until now, my stomach is still uncomfortable. It hurts and bloated. Ouch, I thought it would be better by morning, but the pain is getting more and more frequent. Little doctor, please take a look at me. Do I have some serious disease that cannot be cured?"
The woman's face was pale and her mouth was bloodless. She seemed very afraid of death and her voice trembled when she spoke.
When Jiang Fubao was examining the patient, Shao Siyou brought Chen Hongxia over.
The two stood at the table, listening carefully.
"What did you eat last night? Do you remember?" Jiang Fubao took his hand away and asked again.
"I didn't eat much, just some leftovers from lunch. My child's father and his friends ate outside at night, and I was too lazy to light the stove, so I just soaked the rice in water and ate all the leftovers. As a result, my stomach started to hurt at night."
The woman thought for a moment before speaking slowly.
"You were the only one who ate those leftovers? Your husband didn't eat them, right?" Jiang Fubao had already picked up the pen and was ready to write the prescription.
Pan Erya was grinding ink aside.
"Yes, he didn't eat. My son was studying at school and was not at home, so I ate it alone." The woman nodded, and her abdomen began to ache again.
His face became even paler and he couldn't straighten his back.
"You have diarrhea caused by eating unclean food. It's hot, and food will go bad even if left out for just one afternoon. From now on, cook only as much as you can eat for each meal. If you can't finish it and can't bear to throw it away, leave it in the stove and cover it with a lid. Otherwise, bluebottles will crawl over it and you will get a stomachache if you eat it. Can you imagine where bluebottles like to stay? How dirty are you?"
Jiang Fubao didn't explain it too clearly, but just a slight mention made the woman feel so disgusted that she couldn't stand it.
She had spent most of the night in the toilet, so she knew where bluebottles liked to go.
"Ugh—" The woman dry-heaved twice, feeling even more uncomfortable.
"Lao Wu, go get her some medicine. Dan'er, go to the backyard and get her a bowl of warm water. Remember to add a little salt and sugar."
After diarrhea, you must replenish your body with salt water.
Jiang Fubao had treated patients with gastroenteritis before, and Daner had been sick several times, so he already knew the ratio of salt and sugar.
"Yes, Master."
"Okay lady."
They both answered together.
Chen Hongxia followed Shao Siyou back to the medicine cabinet and watched him prepare the medicine.
"Each medicine must be weighed carefully. If it cannot be weighed, you need to feel it with your hands. One more or one less penny will have a great impact on the effect of the medicine. So in the future, when you pick up medicine, you must not be careless, understand? This is a matter of great importance to the patient's health.
But since you just arrived, Master won't let you pick the herbs, so you just watch me pick them. Once you recognize all the characters and know all the herbs by heart, you will be able to pick them. Here, I see you don't recognize this herb yet, smell it and take a closer look to see how it differs from the one you just picked."
The voice of Shao Siyou teaching reached Jiang Fubao's ears.
She turned her head to look, then nodded with satisfaction. The disciples she accepted were all good-tempered. They would not bully the new sister, and would generously teach her all the knowledge they knew.
It saved her a lot of effort.
At that time, Dan'er also brought the salt water, and she served the woman and helped her drink it in big gulps.
After drinking a bowl of salt water, the woman's empty stomach felt a little bloated. She burped and felt a little embarrassed.
"Take these medicines home and boil them three times a day for five days. Avoid spicy food for half a month. The staple food is porridge or a steamed bun made of fine flour. Don't eat too much."
The woman in front of me doesn't look like someone who is short of money from the way she's dressed.
I can still afford steamed buns made from fine flour.
Jiang Fubao signaled his apprentice to hand her the medicine, then spoke slowly.
"Thank you, little doctor. How much is it in total?" The woman felt better in her stomach and it didn't hurt as much as before. She took out her purse and asked.
"Three hundred yuan." He still didn't ask for the consultation fee, and only made money from the medicine.
After paying the money, the woman left with the medicine.
Jiang Fubao had just stretched when two more patients came.
The morning is the busiest time, so busy that there is no time even for a cup of tea.
It was not until the end of noon that Jiang Fubao had time to eat. After eating, he wanted to stand up and stretch his legs, but someone else came into the clinic.
"Fubao——"
Looking up, he thought it was a patient, but it turned out to be Aunt Yun. Jiang Fubao quickly stood up and went to greet her: "Aunt Yun, Uncle Fang, why are you here?"
"I haven't seen our Fubao for a long time. Aunt Yun missed you, so she wanted to come and see you. It just so happens that your Uncle Fang has something to ask you." Yun Lan said with a smile, holding Jiang Fubao's hand.
"I miss Aunt Yun too. What does Uncle Fang want to talk to me about? You guys sit down first. Lu'er, go pour two cups of tea and call my second sister over." Jiang Fubao instructed the maid beside him.
After a while, Jiang Ruyi came over personally holding a cup of tea.
"Aunt Yun, Uncle Fang, you are here?" She seemed a little excited.
After all, it was the Fang family who saved her and her sister.
The two families have been living together for so many years, and Yunlan treats her better than her own mother. Thinking of the person in her memory, the smile on Jiang Ruyi's face suddenly faded a little.
"Yes, auntie missed you. I had nothing to do at home, so I came to see you." Yun Lan patted the back of Jiang Ruyi's hand gently with a loving smile.
