Capítulo 1645: Chapter 1502: Village Chinese dicine Doctor
Just as the family was about to rescan, two more cars drove into the small temporary parking lot.
The girl, curious, looked closer and saw that the drivers were all young won. She couldn’t help but walk over: “Are you guys here to have fun too? Do you have any tips?”
Xiaocai laughed, “There’s a place here that has amazing fish. My mom and my neighbor aunt wanted to see if they could buy so more. And you guys are…”
The girl enthusiastically held up her empty plastic bag and small shovel, “Foraging for wild vegetables! Even though this village doesn’t have many people, the guides are thorough. You can scan a code to find out how to forage!”
The lady boss, on an important mission today and aware that Secretary Xiaozu had stocked up plenty, chid in with her hospitality, “Right, are you here for wild vegetables? Shovel rental is three yuan each, quite cheap!”
Since they were already there, how could they not forage?
But Mrs. Xiao Cai, ever thrifty, opened the trunk and took out a small basket, “Thanks, I brought my own shovel.”
“Oh, okay.” The lady boss wasn’t discouraged and asked, “Later, after you eat in the mountain canteen, if you don’t have a large water bottle, you can buy one here. I’ve got good ones here, healthy! No sll!”
Saying so, she picked up several large plastic cups. Chen Yunyun, who hadn’t spoken, took a closer look: Wow! Those are the large capacity ‘booze’ bottles! One cup can hold 1500 milliliters!
Their kettle at ho only holds 1.6 liters!
The lady boss lanted, “That’s the biggest we’ve got. Anything bigger, Director Zhu said, wouldn’t be appropriate. If you need one, you can buy it from here. This one’s 18, that one’s 55, all good quality, worth it.”
The newcors couldn’t quite grasp the village’s peculiar sales tactics. Even though they ca here to enjoy the village, they didn’t plan on packing up the local tea for the road, did they?
It’s kind of embarrassing.
At this mont, the three families were chattering away, quickly planning to head up the mountain carrying plastic bags and small baskets, to check out the scenery and the dining environnt before considering anything else.
As for the lady boss, even though no deal was made, she remained particularly confident, as if everyone was really going to buy a cup, still smiling cheerfully.
Mrs. Xiao Cai couldn’t help but sigh, “People in this village are really quite simple.”
“Yes indeed!” Grandma Chen echoed, “Last year, we went to a famous village, and the whole town was filled with street vendors. A sugar-coated hawthorn dared to cost 20.”
Amidst the chirping chatter, even though money had already been spent, discussing the tidbits and fras in the QR code guides surprisingly filled the initial impressions of the mountain village to the brim.
“You can scan codes everywhere here.”
Xiaocai exclaid, “It’s quite convenient, and the content is interesting too—mom, the guide says there’s a rural clinic ahead. The doctor there specializes in traditional Chinese dicine, really good at health maintenance. Wanna check it out?”
“Traditional Chinese dicine!” Mrs. Xiao Cai imdiately got excited, “I’ve got to see it! Your stomach ache, and my insomnia… Where is it? Let’s check it out!”
Not only her, but everyone gathered around.
These days, fortune-telling and seeing Chinese dicine doctors seem to be everyone’s awakened interest points, eager to get a pulse check if they hear about anything famous. And sohow, it always feels like the best doctors are found in rural areas!
Yunqiao Village has one main road, several side roads, and Doctor Xiaoguo’s clinic is right by the main road, with a prominent cross sign above, just on their way up the mountain.
At the mont, a large pot was brewing hot tea at the entrance and the sour fragrance of hawthorn could be faintly slled. Doctor Xiaoguo was adding firewood and, seeing people approaching, he smiled, “Want so hawthorn tea? It’s free. As long as you’re not pregnant, you can have so. It aids digestion, whets the appetite, and alleviates motion sickness discomfort.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao Cai swiftly unscrewed her jug and emptied it, “Let
try so, I’ve been feeling a bit dizzy from the car ride.”
The hot hawthorn tea had been simring since early morning—in the whole of Yunqiao Village, probably no one sleeps in, for they sleep soundly at night, and even if they want to in the morning, they can’t.
Now, after several hours of brewing, the hawthorn flesh had beco soft and fragrant, paired with a few other Chinese dicinal herbs, and a few packs of rock sugar—
Honestly, the cost of Doctor Xiaoguo’s hawthorn tea wasn’t low!
But the benefits were obvious.
Because after one sip, Mrs. Xiao Cai’s eyes lit up, “Delicious! Really tasty! Daughter, you try it too!”
While saying this, she also nagged, “I told you to bring a cup, you insisted on coffee. Otherwise, we could have taken a pot with us before leaving.”
Just drinking it and already thinking of taking so away, Xiaocai felt a bit embarrassed. But Doctor Xiaoguo was very generous, “If you like it, bring your cup and take as much as you want. I’m just worried that after drinking the tea water on the mountain, you won’t want to carry it anymore—oh right, Auntie, don’t drink too much of it, otherwise you might get hungry before noon. Our canteen serves als only at specified tis.”
It was all about the canteen, making Grandma Chen curious, “Is that the only place to eat around here?”
Doctor Xiaoguo laughed, “If you know anyone in the village, you can have a al at their house, or if you brought your cooking utensils, you can cook by yourself at the canteen entrance, only you have to take all the rubbish away. But I think since you’re here, you should definitely try our canteen.”
“Rest assured! You won’t regret it!”
Since they were there, the universal phrase, everyone was nearly convinced. Chen Yunyun then asked, “So… do we need to register to see traditional Chinese dicine here?”
Doctor Xiaoguo gestured to the side, “No need, I’m right here—it’s fine, just co in for a look, no charge.”
“But our rules here are, pulse diagnosis is free, you can take the prescribed dicine or not, but the prescription can’t be taken away.”
Western dicine cos in finished products, you can buy them anywhere with the sa effect, but Chinese dicine doesn’t work like that. The choice and amount of herbs, the effect just varies widely. To prevent disputes, most Chinese dicine clinics don’t allow the prescriptions to be taken at random.
Regularly inquiring into Chinese dicine, Mrs. Xiao Cai understood this but still seed distrustful of Doctor Xiaoguo’s young age.
But since it’s free anyway!
At this age, even a couple of eggs from the community can lure them to listen to an insurance pitch, so why not take a look!
Mrs. Xiao Cai took the first step, “Alright then, you take a look at , see if you can get it right?”
Upon entering this small clinic, it beca apparent that while the place was remote, it was complete with everything needed. Various qualifications were displayed on the walls, and a large drug cabinet of lustrous chestnut red took up an entire wall.
Opposite was a square cabinet housing so commonly used dicines in the clinic.
Beside it, a curtain was pulled back, revealing two massage beds, with a few boxes of cleanly washed glass cupping utensils stacked aside.
Doctor Xiaoguo expertly placed the pulse diagnosis instrunt on the table, his expression calming, “Co, let’s start with your right hand.”
Mrs. Xiao Cai sat down in a daze, her trust in him increasing by two notches.
