Chapter 202: Inquire
The little round head was dotted, and a flash of light flashed in the eyes.
After a while, I heard a "meow" sound, and a fat orange cat led a group of cats and jumped down from the surrounding roofs.
The soft fur brushed against Shang Wan's legs, the cats' tails swayed slightly, and their "meows" made their loved ones sticky.
Yuanyuan stretched out her arm to touch the cat, and the fur rubbed against her palm, making her giggle.
The cats jumped on the bullock cart and spontaneously found a place to nest. The largest orange cat jumped directly on the back of the ox and wagged its tail towards Yuanyuan.
With an army of cats guarding the ox cart, Shang Wan left with peace of mind.
Yuanyuan lay on her shoulder and waved to the cats, as if saying they would play together later.
Shang Wan was not in a hurry to go to the drug store on the next street. He walked around holding Yuanyuan in his arms. He visited various stores and heard a lot of news from the shopkeepers or waiters.
Stepping into the drug store, the clerk immediately greeted me, "What kind of medicine do you want to buy, sir?"
Shang Wan looked around but didn't see the young doctor sitting in the hall.
She asked: "The doctor is not here?"
"Here, the boss is giving the patient an injection behind the curtain. He will be out in a moment." The waiter pointed to the small space surrounded by a light blue curtain in the corner.
Shang Wan looked in the direction of his finger, feeling slightly surprised.
That young doctor turned out to be the owner of this pharmacy. I really couldn't tell.
The waiter looked at Shang Wan's face and didn't see anything wrong. However, thinking that Shang Wan would call the doctor when he came in, he asked, "Is the guest feeling unwell?"
Shang Wan: "It's not me, it's my daughter."
The waiter lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl in her arms. She was rosy-cheeked and energetic. How could she look like a sick baby?
Seeing the strange uncle staring at her, Yuanyuan waved her little hand in a friendly way to say hello.
The boy made her laugh, thinking that this doll was not only adorable, but also not afraid of animals.
He couldn't see what was wrong with Yuanyuan, and Shang Wan couldn't explain why. 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 also idle and said to the waiter: "You weigh two taels of forsythia for me."
The clerk agreed and went to the medicine cabinet to grab some medicine. Shang Wan followed him.
The pear wood medicine cabinet is against the wall, from the floor to the top. At a glance, there are hundreds of drawers.
These drawers were not labeled like the pharmacies in the previous life, but the clerk found the medicinal materials Shang Wan needed as soon as he reached out. He obviously knew which medicine was in which drawer.
Shang Wan felt that she couldn't do this when ordering a medicine cabinet. She had to put a label on the outside so that the medicine inside could be seen at a glance.
While the clerk was getting medicine, Shang Wan asked about the prices of several medicinal materials. They were similar to the two pharmacies where she often sold medicines, and some were even cheaper. I wonder if the quality of the medicinal materials was not good enough.
In front of the medicine cabinet, there are many medicine packages hanging with thin hemp ropes. I heard from the waiter that they are for repelling mosquitoes. There are also some packages of commonly used medicines, such as those for stomachache, throat pain, and toothache.
There are also some medicine packs for bathing and soaking feet, some are ground into powder or some are not ground, it all depends on the needs of the customer.
Tooth powder is also sold. I heard from the clerk that it is used to strengthen teeth and also has the effect of whitening teeth. It is a best-selling product in their drug store.
Ointments and powders are also sold. They are mainly used to treat bruises and injuries. They are unique formulas produced by drug stores.
Shang Wan thought that his 'ancestral secret recipe' could also be used to shine.
The clerk weighed the weight and said: "It's been hot recently, and there have been a lot of customers coming to buy forsythia. Although forsythia has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, forsythia is cold in nature, so it's not advisable to eat too much, as it may aggravate the coldness of the spleen and stomach, especially for women. Can’t use more.”
"Do you still know medicine?"
The clerk packaged the medicine skillfully with a smile on his face, "How can I, a handyman, know this? I just listened to what my boss said, and I just picked up the wisdom of others."
Shang Wan: "..."
Ordinary guys can't even speak idioms.
The clerk handed the wrapped medicine to her and said, "Forty coppers are accepted." Shang Wan counted out the coins from the purse and gave them to her, then glanced sideways at the blue curtain, "How long will it take?"
"It should be ready soon." The waiter counted the time silently, "Guest, please wait."
There were other people coming in to buy medicine, but there was only one clerk in the store. The waiter poured Shang Wan a glass of water, said a few words, and then went to entertain other guests.
Shang Wan looked at the door while teasing the baby. Although this pharmacy was not big, there were many people coming to buy medicine.
While she was waiting, three people had already come in, and they looked like regular customers.
"Uncle Zhang, be sure not to carry heavy objects when you go back. The plaster must be applied for three consecutive days without getting wet."
A clear and pleasant male voice came from the side, the blue curtain opened, and a young man in blue came out supporting an old man.
When the old man walked, his knees were stiff and he seemed to be lame.
The young man noticed Shang Wan's gaze, glanced at her, his eyes were slightly stunned, and then he nodded lightly.
He quickly went to get some plasters and handed them to his father-in-law. He gave some careful instructions and helped his father-in-law across the threshold before returning.
"Master." The waiter came over after entertaining the guests, pointed to Shang Wan, and explained the situation clearly.
The young man nodded, and after washing his hands in the copper basin, he walked towards Shang Wan and raised his hand to the table next to him, "Ma'am, please come this way."
Shang Wan followed him to the desk and sat down on the chair with his back to the door.
The young man first smiled at Yuanyuan, stretched out his hand to grab her little hand, and asked Shang Wan while feeling for her pulse, "What symptoms does your love have?"
Shang Wan made nonsense, "I couldn't sleep well at night. I heard two coughs last night."
youth:"……"
Perhaps he had encountered many patients, but the young man's expression looked the same. He carefully felt for her pulse, then asked Yuanyuan to open her mouth and looked at her tongue coating.
"Doctor, how is my daughter?" Shang Wan acted like an anxious old mother, her eyebrows furrowed, and she was worried at first sight.
The young man raised his eyes to look at her, his lips parted but he hesitated to speak.
Shang Wan: "Just say it, I can stand it."
Young man: "...My wife is in good health and has no signs of illness."
Not only am I not sick, I am doing better than most people.
Shang Wan glanced at the baby who was holding a medicine pillow in his arms and patting the table, and said worriedly: "Then why is she coughing?"
"Perhaps he caught the wind." The young man said, "The baby is weak. It is normal for him to cough twice due to the wind."
"Then why can't she sleep well at night?"
"My wife has some food accumulation, and food accumulation will affect her sleep."
Shang Wan lowered his head and looked at Yuanyuan, pinched her little cheek and said, "Did you hear that? From now on, you can only drink half a bottle of milk at night."
Yuanyuan pursed her lips, unhappy.
"Doctor, please give me some medicine."
The young man looked serious and suggested: "It's a medicine with three parts poison. My daughter's symptoms are young and she only has a little food intake, so she doesn't need to take medicine. Hawthorn is warm in nature. Madam can use hawthorn slices to boil water for your daughter to drink. It would be best if you add some sugar." It’s good, appetizing and has a sweet and sour taste. Children also like to drink it.”
Shang Wan nodded, "Thank you doctor."
"It takes a little effort." The young man glanced at the little milk baby who smiled at him, and smiled back, "Does Madam have any hawthorns at home?"
"No." He said no. Shang Wan said to the waiter on the side, "Weigh half a catty of hawthorn and get a box of teeth-strengthening tooth powder."
