Chapter 147 Indescribable
Cheng Ruotong rolled her eyes and looked ready to fight, but Cheng Ruoan pulled her back.
"Sister, don't worry about him."
Then he quietly told Cheng Ruotong about Li Dongjia's background.
Cheng Ruotong became even angrier upon hearing this, "No way, I'm going to tear his mouth apart today! He clearly has ulterior motives, yet he's cursing us!"
The store had just opened, and the owner, Ms. Li, kept cursing and complaining about how she couldn't sell all her chicken cakes.
It's true that even an uncle can tolerate this, but an aunt can't!
"Sis, if you pay attention to this kind of cunning person, what if he tries to extort money from you?"
Cheng Ruoan simply grabbed Cheng Ruotong by the waist and dragged her back.
"Just get someone to put it in a sack and beat it up."
Cheng Ruotong: ...
"Okay, you're right, little sister."
"Okay, sis, you sell the chicken cakes first. I'm going to take lessons with my master. Come find me after you close up shop, and I'll teach you how to make pork jerky."
Cheng Ruotong's eyes lit up. "Great!"
She ate pork jerky the night before last, and it was especially delicious!
However, she and her younger sister have been busy with various things these past two days and haven't been able to find the time to meet, so they haven't had a chance to learn how to make pork jerky.
Cheng Ruoan helped Cheng Ruotong open the shop door, and then bought a pound of milk chicken cake for Doctor Hu before hurriedly returning to the guest courtyard of the Cheng residence.
The two little ones went to deliver tofu to Qingfeng Temple with Cheng's mother before dawn this morning, especially Si Nian, who was very happy when she left.
Being forced to learn by Doctor Hu every day was like a fish in water for Si Xin, but for the little girl, it was a complete disaster.
As it happened, Qingfeng Temple was having a vegetarian feast at noon today, and they needed to make an extra batch of tofu, so Cheng's mother went out a little earlier and took her two children to burn incense as well.
Guest house.
The door to Dr. Hu's study was wide open, and Cheng Ruoan's voice calling him from afar pierced directly into the study.
"Master! I've come to learn a new acupuncture technique from you. You promised to give me a new set of Bo needles!"
Cheng Ruoan walked into the house with a beaming smile, carrying two oil paper bags containing two steamed egg cakes.
Little Mian'er followed behind her, and Little Mian'er even carried her medical kit for her.
Dr. Hu was pretending to read a medical book, but when he saw that Cheng Ruoan didn't even carry his own medical kit, he instantly became furious.
"Cheng Ruoan! You've gotten cocky just because I haven't disciplined you lately, haven't you? You're not qualified to lead a medicine boy yet!"
Dr. Hu rolled up his medical book and slammed it directly onto Cheng Ruoan's head.
It only looks scary, but in reality, the force is so light it's laughable.
Cheng Ruoan wasn't in any pain. He rubbed his head and chuckled, "My master doesn't even use medicine apprentices anymore, how could I dare? I just had Xiao Mian'er come over to attend class and help me carry things."
Dr. Hu glanced at her and scoffed.
Cheng Ruoan placed the sponge cake on the table for him. "Here, this sponge cake weighs two pounds and has been packaged into two separate bags, so it will be convenient for you to visit your friends later."
When Cheng Ruoan contacted Dr. Hu last night to schedule a class, Dr. Hu said that he was only available in the early morning, as he would be visiting two friends later that morning.
Cheng Ruoan genuinely had no idea who Doctor Hu was.
It seems like he has friends in every prefecture or county in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
Remembering this, Dr. Hu didn't have time to cause any more trouble for Cheng Ruoan. He simply told everyone to sit down quickly and said, "Class begins!"
He first showed Cheng Ruoan two medical records, and then asked Cheng Ruoan to write a prescription herself, supplemented with acupuncture.
Cheng Ruoan looked troubled: "Master, I haven't learned many acupuncture prescriptions yet..."
Dr. Hu glared at her: "Stop dawdling, hurry up and write the prescription. Be bold, it's not like we're really facing a patient!"
"Oh." Cheng Ruoan chewed on her pen and went to think.
Dr. Hu turned and went to his desk, where he took the set of Bo needles that he was going to give her.
It was a very exquisite little wooden box. Cheng Ruoan glanced at it and her eyes almost popped out.
A needle case made of agarwood!?
Judging from the color, it should be agarwood.
Moreover, if it can be made into a wooden box, it must be extremely dense.
Cheng Ruoan didn't know how much this needle case was worth.
In modern times, natural agarwood is sold by the gram. She and Si Shaoheng saw a piece with a similar color to this box at a charity auction, and the auction price was more than three thousand yuan per gram.
Cheng Ruoan couldn't even imagine how precious the Bo needles her master was going to give her must be!
That's why they used such an expensive box to pack it...
When Dr. Hu saw that she had been holding the pen for a long time without moving it, he thought that she really couldn't think of a prescription.
I was just about to say a few words of comfort to help her feel more confident.
As a result, I saw that the girl was staring intently at the needle case, and she even looked like she was drooling.
"Snapped!"
Dr. Hu took the rolled-up medical book and gave Cheng Ruoan a sharp whack, much harder than before.
"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up! If you can't write this prescription, I'm not giving you this set of acupuncture needles!"
Cheng Ruoan winced in pain and cried out, "I'll write it right away, I'll write it right away!"
Once it's finished, we can see what this precious set of Bo needles really is!
After Cheng Ruoan finished writing, he presented the prescription to Doctor Hu with both hands, saying, "Please review it, Master!"
Doctor Hu stroked his beard, snorted, and took the acupuncture box to exchange for Cheng Ruoan's prescription.
As soon as Cheng Ruoan picked up the needle box, he knew that it was not only natural agarwood, but also an old object!
They've all been polished until they're shiny and smooth!
Slip.
Cheng Ruoan greedily sucked in his saliva and opened the needle case.
The needle box didn't look big, but it had two layers, containing two different sizes of needles. There seemed to be quite a few of them; Cheng Ruoan estimated that there were about thirty or forty needles in total.
This is much more complete than the set of silver needles she bought before to practice with.
It's just a pity that the material of this set of needles is not the same as her master's gold needles; it's only silver, which makes it look less like a master's pretentious style.
However, as Cheng Ruoan picked up a needle, she inexplicably felt a sense of the weight of time.
"Master, these needles must be quite old, right?"
Dr. Hu was engrossed in studying the prescription she had written and did not hear Cheng Ruoan's words.
He gave an irrelevant answer: "Your acupuncture prescription is quite standard, and it even avoids the acupoints and needling techniques that you are not sure about."
It's only passable.
However... your prescription is quite interesting, even outstanding. On its own, the prescription might seem a bit risky, but when combined with your acupuncture prescription...
It's simply wonderful...
Dr. Hu smiled with relief, his wrinkles deepening.
No wonder he's his apprentice!
Just by looking at the patient's medical records, she can give such a surprising prescription. If we actually take her to see the patient and examine her through the four diagnostic methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation, wouldn't there be an even bigger surprise?
As Dr. Hu pondered, the light in his eyes grew even brighter.
"Ruo'an, after class, why don't you come with your master to meet his friend?"
