Chapter 200 Inquire
She nodded her little round head, and a strange light flashed across her eyes.
After a while, a series of meows were heard, and a fat orange cat led a group of cats to jump down from the surrounding roofs.
The cats' soft fur rubbed against Shang Wan's legs, their tails wagged gently, and their meows were affectionate and affectionate.
Yuanyuan stretched out her arm to touch the cat, and the fur rubbed against her palm, making her giggle.
The cats jumped onto the oxcart and found places to nestle in. The largest orange cat jumped directly onto the ox's back and wagged its tail at Yuanyuan.
With an army of cats guarding the ox cart, Shang Wan left with peace of mind.
Yuanyuan lay on her shoulder and waved at the cats, as if to say let's play together later.
Shang Wan was not in a hurry to go to the drugstore on the next street. He walked around with Yuanyuan in his arms, stopping from shop to shop, and heard a lot of news from the shopkeepers or clerks.
As soon as I stepped into the pharmacy, the clerk came up to me and asked, "Sir, what medicine do you want to buy?"
Shang Wan looked around but didn't see the young doctor on duty.
She asked, "Is the doctor away?"
"Yes, the boss is giving an acupuncture to a patient behind the curtain. He will be out soon." The waiter pointed to a small space in the corner surrounded by a light blue curtain.
Shang Wan looked in the direction of his finger and was slightly surprised.
I couldn't believe that the young doctor was actually the owner of this pharmacy.
The waiter looked at Shang Wan's face and didn't see anything wrong, but thinking that Shang Wan had gone to see a doctor as soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Are you feeling unwell, sir?"
Shang Wan: "It's not me, it's my daughter."
The guy lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl in her arms. She had a rosy face and looked energetic. How could she look like a sick child?
Seeing the strange uncle staring at her, Yuanyuan waved his little hand in a friendly manner to greet him.
The guy made her laugh and thought that this girl was not only cute in appearance but also not shy.
He couldn't tell what was wrong with Yuanyuan, and Shang Wan couldn't explain it either. The waiter had no choice but to let the two of them sit aside and wait for the doctor to come out.
Shang Wan was idle anyway, so he said to the waiter, "Weigh me two ounces of forsythia."
The waiter agreed and went to the medicine cabinet to get the medicine, and Shang Wan followed him.
The pear wood medicine cabinet is against the wall, extending from the floor to the ceiling. At a glance, there are at least hundreds of drawers.
There were no labels on these drawers like the pharmacies in his previous life, but the clerk found the herbs Shang Wan needed with just one hand, and it was obvious that he knew what medicine was in each drawer.
Shang Wan felt that this shouldn't be the case when she ordered the medicine cabinet. She should at least put a label on the outside so that she could see at a glance what medicine was inside.
While the waiter was preparing the medicine, Shang Wan asked about the prices of several medicinal herbs. They were about the same as the two pharmacies where she usually sold herbs. Some were even cheaper. She wondered if the quality of the herbs was not good.
There are a lot of medicine bags hanging with thin hemp ropes in front of the medicine cabinet. I heard from the guy that they are for repelling mosquitoes. There are also some packaged common medicines, such as those for stomachaches, sore throats, and toothaches.
There are also some medicine bags for bathing and foot soaking, some are ground into powder and some are not, it all depends on the needs of the customers.
Tooth powder is also for sale. The guy said it is used to strengthen teeth and also has the effect of whitening teeth. It is a best-seller in their drugstore.
Ointments and powders are also for sale, mainly for treating injuries and sprains, and are the drugstore’s unique formulas.
Shang Wan was thinking that his family's "secret recipe handed down from ancestors" could be brought into play.
The waiter weighed the herbs and said, "It's been hot lately, so many customers have come to buy Forsythia. Although Forsythia has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, it is cold in nature and should not be eaten too much. It may aggravate the coldness of the spleen and stomach, especially for women. They should not eat too much."
"You also know medicine?"
The clerk skillfully wrapped the medicine with a smile on his face, "How can a clerk like me know these things? I just heard it from my boss and learned from him."
Shang Wan: “…”
An ordinary fellow cannot even use idioms.
The waiter handed her the packaged medicine and said, "Forty cents for you."
Shang Wan counted out copper coins from his purse and gave them to him. He glanced sideways at the blue curtain and asked, "How long will it take?"
"It should be ready soon." The waiter calculated the time silently, "Please wait a little longer, sir."
Someone else came in to buy medicine, and there was only one waiter in the store. The waiter poured Shang Wan a glass of water, gave him a few instructions, and then went to serve other customers.
Shang Wan was playing with the baby while looking at the door. Although this pharmacy was not big, there were quite a few people coming to buy medicine.
While she was waiting, three people came in, and they all seemed to be regular customers.
"Uncle Zhang, don't lift anything heavy when you go back. The plaster must be applied for three days without getting wet."
A clear and pleasant male voice came from the side, the blue curtain was opened, and a young man in blue clothes walked out supporting an old man.
When the old man walked, his knees were stiff and he looked a little lame.
The young man noticed Shang Wan's gaze, swept his eyes over her, his eyes were slightly stunned, and then he nodded slightly.
He quickly went to get a few plasters and handed them to his father-in-law, then gave him a few detailed instructions and helped him over the threshold before returning.
"Boss." After serving the guests, the waiter came over, raised his hand and pointed at Shang Wan, explaining the situation.
The young man nodded, washed his hands in the copper basin, and then walked towards Shang Wan. He raised his hand towards the table next to him and said, "Madam, please come this way."
Shang Wan followed him to the table and sat down on the chair with his back to the door.
The young man smiled at Yuanyuan first, then reached out and held her hand. While checking her pulse, he asked Shang Wan, "What are your daughter's illnesses?"
Shang Wan lied, "I didn't sleep well last night. I heard him cough twice yesterday."
youth:"……"
Perhaps because he had seen so many patients, the young man's face remained the same. He carefully felt Yuanyuan's pulse, asked her to open her mouth, and looked at her tongue coating.
"Doctor, how is my daughter?" Shang Wan acted like an anxious old mother, with her brows tightly furrowed, and it was obvious that she was extremely worried.
The young man looked up at her, opened his lips, and seemed to be about to say something.
Shang Wan: "Just tell me, I can handle it."
Young man: "…your daughter is in good health and has no signs of illness."
Not only did I not get sick, but I was in better shape than most people.
Shang Wan glanced at the baby who was holding the medicine pillow and slapping the table, and asked worriedly, "Then why is she coughing?"
"Maybe he got wind." The young man said, "The baby is weak, so it's normal for him to cough a few times after getting wind."
"What about her having trouble sleeping at night?"
"Your daughter has some indigestion, which affects her sleep."
Shang Wan lowered his head and looked at Yuanyuan, pinching her little face, "Did you hear me? From now on, you can only drink half a pot of milk at night."
Yuanyuan pouted, looking unhappy.
"Doctor, please prescribe some medicine for me."
The young man looked serious and suggested, "Medicine is three-quarters toxic. Your daughter's symptoms are mild and she is young. It's just a little indigestion, so you don't need to take medicine. Hawthorn is warm in nature. Madam, you can boil hawthorn slices in water and give it to your daughter to drink. It would be best if you can add some sugar. It will stimulate the appetite and help digestion. It tastes sweet and sour, and children will like it too."
Shang Wan nodded and said, "Thank you, doctor."
"It's just a piece of cake." The young man glanced at the little baby who was smiling at him, and smiled back, "Madam, do you have any hawthorns at home?"
"No." Even if there was any, Shang Wan said to the waiter beside him, "Weigh half a pound of hawthorn and a box of tooth powder for strengthening teeth."
