Chapter 262: The tricks of Baicaotang
"Of course it's the doctor. You saw it when you came in just now. This is Baicao Hall." The doctor kept explaining at her rebuke, and then talked about the history of Baicao Hall regardless.
From the initial glorious deeds to the subsequent downfall, the old doctor even wiped away tears at the end of the story.
Yan Ruomeng tried to interrupt several times but was pulled back by Doctor Mo.
"That's it, this old man won't stop until he talks for two hours."
"He doesn't go to see people anymore?"
Yan Ruomeng seemed to have asked a question she shouldn't have asked. Doctor Mo slapped her arm sternly to signal her not to say anything.
But the conversation between the two was still overheard by the old doctor.
He looked over and Yan Ruomeng was too scared to say a word. Just when she was about to apologize, the old doctor suddenly made the fuss even worse.
"Yes, I haven't had much business recently, but that doesn't mean that this little girl like you can arrange my Baicao Hall."
Yan Ruomeng was surprised, what did I arrange? You said there was no business.
Before the words in her heart could be spoken, the old doctor became sad.
"I don't know what the county magistrate did today, but his wife and children are being punished. The hair of the county magistrate's wife and his young lady is falling out one after another. I have tried many methods but can't cure it.
The county magistrate’s wife and his young lady are going to be bald, and my Baicao Hall will no longer be able to continue running.”
After the old doctor said this, he lost all energy. Only then did Doctor Mo tell Yan Ruomeng what was wrong.
"In our small place, those who have money are the only ones who can get medical treatment. The county magistrate's recent attitude towards Baicaotang also makes other people who can afford medical treatment not dare to approach."
As he listened, there was only one thing on Yan Ruomeng's mind.
That is, the county magistrate's wife and young lady are bald and need treatment.
Isn't this a coincidence? She is familiar with this!
"Doctor Mo, I have a way to cure their baldness." Yan Ruomeng said to Dr. Mo.
When the old doctor heard this, he cheered up and said, "Aren't you a businessman? When will you see a doctor?"
"This is because you are ignorant. Although I am a businessman, I am a hard worker. To be honest, I don't know anything else. I am good at cooking and I am also proficient in various medicinal foods. My husband's family has the same experience as the one in the capital.
I have dealt with the noble family who had hair loss problem, and I cured that noble family's hair loss problem."
Speaking of this, Yan Ruomeng was proud. She won the battle beautifully with that Polygonum multiflorum soup.
"Did this really happen?" the old doctor asked in disbelief.
Yan Ruomeng didn't explain this time, but said lightly, "Don't you know how to read faces? Let's see if it's true."
Thinking that the old doctor would scold her, Yan Ruomeng was ready to retaliate, but who knew that the old doctor actually took the fortune telling seriously.
Xu Shizhen saw some clues, and the old doctor's expression suddenly became serious, "I wonder how noble that noble man is?"
Yan Ruomeng waved to the old doctor and Doctor Mo, motioning them to come closer, and then spoke in a voice that only three people could hear.
"Today's Crown Princess."
When this big news was dropped, Doctor Mo and the old doctor had disbelief in their eyes.
Yan Ruomeng knew that things had to be done quickly, so he hurriedly said, "After all, you have been treated for so long and still haven't been cured. Why not try my method? Treat a dead horse like a living horse."
"That's right, but what's the prescription?" The old doctor looked at Yan Ruomeng hesitantly and expectantly, and the implication was self-evident.
Yan Ruomeng seized the opportunity to discuss business, "If it is cured, I will give it to you as money for the medicinal materials that Doctor Mo gave you on credit."
"This...let me think about it." You must know that Doctor Mo has a lot of medicines on credit from him.
Hearing this, Yan Ruomeng chuckled in his heart, can a cooked duck still make you fly?
Yan Ruomeng immediately interrupted the old doctor's thoughts, "What are you still thinking about? Dr. Mo gave you so many medicines on credit and didn't see your medical clinic going bankrupt. But look at how long it took you to offend your superiors now? You are already dying.
If you can’t make it any longer, do you still need me to teach you about this choice?”
Just like that, a quarter of an hour later, Yan Ruomeng appeared in the back kitchen of Baicaotang.
The waiter from Baicaotang helped to light the pot and light the fire. Yan Ruomeng looked at the Polygonum multiflorum that had only been growing for ten years and sighed lightly.
The one she used at the beginning was hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, but now the vintage has been discounted, so she hopes the efficacy will not be too compromised.
After the medicinal meal was prepared, Yan Ruomeng made another dish of sweet potato puree stewed in milk.
The taste of this medicine is not very good. Her status is not as good as in the capital now. If someone says it is poison, her life will be in danger. Therefore, the person who takes the medicine is asked to eat this sweet dessert afterward.
, which can greatly improve the probability of survival.
After the medicinal diet was cooked, it was sent to the county government. The old doctor was afraid that there would be something wrong with the medicinal diet, so he took Yan Ruomeng, the man in charge, with him.
Yan Ruo dreamed of meeting the county magistrate by the way. If he was one of their own, she would reveal her identity and let him send her back to Yuancheng.
But when she and the old doctor carried the food box to the county government office, the county government officer took the food box from her hand and looked at her with arrogance.
"Is this the medicinal diet you made?"
The old doctor nodded and bent down, "Exactly, the secret recipe in this girl's hands was handed down from her ancestors. Even the nobles in the capital have used it and said it is good."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about the nonsense. Whether it is useful or not will be known after the madam and young lady use it. Doctor, please follow me in to deliver the things. As for you two, just stay here and wait."
The arrogant look almost made Yan Ruomeng beat her up, but Doctor Mo held her back.
Seeing the man walking away, Yan Ruomeng reluctantly broke away, "Why are you pulling me? I want to teach him a lesson. What kind of person is he? His eyes are on his nostrils."
Doctor Mo's eyes were dark, "I don't care what your previous status was or how noble you were, but this is the countryside, and you don't understand that a strong dragon cannot overpower a local snake."
It was not that Yan Ruomeng didn't know about the serious relationship between this, but she was so angry that someone would expose her. She came to her senses, quickly put her mind back together, and stood outside praying for things to go smoothly inside.
However, as luck would have it, the old doctor followed the young man into the courtyard. After walking a few steps, he met the old lady who was watching a performance in the garden.
The old lady is the mother of the county magistrate. She relied on farming to send the county magistrate to study, and she became the county magistrate today. Therefore, the old lady's status in the government office cannot be underestimated.
The old lady had sharp eyes, and when she saw the old doctor, she asked the maid to call him over.
The old doctor had no choice but to follow the boy and walk to the old lady respectfully.
"Isn't this Dr. Zhang from Baicaotang? Why do you have time to come to the county government office today?"
It turns out that the doctor from Baicaotang is named Zhang and is not a local.
This was not the first time that Dr. Zhang came to the county government office. He spoke to the old lady respectfully according to the rules.
"My wife and young lady are suffering from an emergency. I'm sending them medicinal food to relieve their emergency."
