Song Tan's Notes

Just as the family was about to scan the code again, two more cars drove into the small temporary parking lot.

The girl looked curiously and found that the drivers were all young girls. Sheniu approached them and asked, "Are you guys here to play too? Do you have any tips?"

Xiao Cai laughed and said, "There is a restaurant here that sells really delicious fish. My mom and my neighbor wanted to come and see if we could buy some more. What are you doing..."

The girl enthusiastically picked up the empty plastic bag and the small shovel: "Digging wild vegetables! Although there are not many people in this village, there are plenty of guides. You can scan the code to see how to dig wild vegetables!"

The proprietress had an important task today, and after hearing from Secretary Xiao Zhu that they had stockpiled a lot of inventory, she repeated the invitation: "Yes, do you want to dig wild vegetables? The rental fee for the shovel is three yuan a pair, which is very cheap!"

Now that we are here, why not dig?

But Xiao Cai's mother was very good at managing her life. She opened the trunk and took out a small basket: "Thank you, I brought my own shovel."

"Oh, oh, oh." The proprietress was not discouraged, and asked again: "Then when we go to the canteen on the mountain to eat later, if you don't have a big kettle, you can buy one from me. This is a good kettle, healthy! And no smell!"

As he spoke, he picked up a few large plastic cups. Chen Yunyun, who was silent, took a closer look and said, "Okay! This is the large-capacity ton cup! One cup can hold 1500 milliliters!"

His kettle only holds 1.6L!

The lady boss regretted, "This is the largest one. Our Party Secretary said it's not suitable if it's any bigger. If you need more, you can buy it here. This is 18, and this is 55. They are all of good quality and worth it."

The new girl couldn't understand the strange sales methods in this rural area. Although they came to the village to play, they didn't have to pack up other people's tea and water before leaving, right?

It feels so embarrassing.

At this moment, the three families chattered together, and soon discussed to carry plastic bags and small baskets and walk up the mountain to see the scenery and the environment for lunch, and then consider other things.

Look at the proprietress again. Although she didn’t make any sales, she acted extremely confident, as if everyone really wanted to buy cups, and she was still smiling.

Little Cai's mother couldn't help but sigh: "The people in this village are quite simple and honest."

"Yes!" Chen Yunyun's grandmother also responded: "Last year I went to a famous village. The whole town was full of small stalls. They dared to charge 20 for a candied haws."

Everybody was chattering. Although they had already spent money, they were still discussing the rules and regulations in the QR code guide, and for a moment their initial impression of the mountain village was still full.

“You can scan the QR code everywhere here.”

Xiao Cai sighed, "It's quite convenient, and the content here is interesting. Mom, the QR code guide says there's a rural clinic ahead. The doctor there majors in Chinese medicine and is especially good at helping people recuperate. Do you want to go and see it?"

"Traditional Chinese medicine!" Xiao Cai's mother immediately became happy: "Then we have to take a look! Your stomachache, and my insomnia... where are they? Let's go and take a look!"

Not only her, everyone gathered around.

Nowadays, fortune-telling and Chinese medicine are the interests of everyone. They want to have their pulse checked as soon as they hear of a famous doctor. And I don't know why, but I always feel that famous doctors are most likely to emerge in rural areas!

Yunqiao Village has a main road and several side roads, and Dr. Xiao Guo's clinic is right next to the main road. The cross sign on it is very conspicuous, and it is exactly the only way they have to go up the mountain.

At this moment, a large pot at the door was still boiling hot tea, and the sour aroma of hawthorn could be faintly smelled. Doctor Guo was adding firewood to the pot. Seeing someone coming, he couldn't help but smile: "Would you like some hawthorn tea? It's free. You can drink it as long as you're not pregnant. It helps digestion and appetite, and can also relieve motion sickness." As soon as she said this, Xiao Cai's mother unscrewed the cup and poured out the water: "Let me try it. I feel a little dizzy from the car ride."

The hot hawthorn tea has been brewed since early morning - in the entire Yunqiao Village, there is probably no one who sleeps in. They sleep so soundly at night that they can't fall asleep in the morning even if they want to.

After several hours of cooking, the hawthorn meat is soft, sour and fragrant, and paired with several other Chinese medicinal herbs and a few packets of rock sugar.

To be honest, the cost of Dr. Guo’s pot of hawthorn tea is not low!

But the benefits are also obvious.

Because as soon as Xiao Cai's mother drank it, her eyes lit up: "It tastes good! It tastes really good! Girl, you should try it too!"

He then said to her, "I told you to bring a cup, but you insisted on drinking coffee. Otherwise, you could have taken a pot with you before you left."

Xiao Cai was a little embarrassed to think about taking it away after just drinking it. But Doctor Xiao Guo was very generous: "If you like, you can take the cup with you. I'm just afraid that you won't want to take it with you after drinking tea on the mountain. By the way, Auntie, don't drink too much, otherwise you will be hungry before noon. Our canteen only serves food at fixed times."

Since it was the canteen after all, Grandma Chen was a little curious: "Is this the only place to eat?"

Doctor Guo smiled and said, "If you know someone from the village, you can go to their house for dinner. If you bring your own pots and pans, you can cook at the entrance of the canteen. You just have to take the garbage away. But I think that since you are here, you must try our canteen."

"Don't worry! You won't lose anything!"

Now that we are here, this is a universal golden sentence, and everyone's heart is convinced. Chen Yunyun asked: "Then... do I need to register to see a Chinese doctor here?"

Doctor Guo stretched out his hand and stepped aside: "No, I'm just - it's okay, come and take a look, it's free."

"But the rule here is that taking the pulse is free, and you can take the medicine as you like, but you can't take the prescription away."

Western medicine is all ready-made medicine, and it will be the same no matter where you buy it. But Chinese medicine is different. If the dosage of the main, secondary, auxiliary and adjuvant medicines is slightly different, the effect will be very different. In order to prevent disputes, most Chinese medicine clinics do not allow prescriptions to be taken away casually.

Little Cai's mother, who often consults traditional Chinese medicine, expressed her understanding of this, but she obviously did not trust Dr. Guo's age.

But it’s free anyway!

At this age, if the community gives them two eggs, they can go to the insurance class. It would be a shame not to watch it!

Little Cai's mother took the lead and said, "Okay, come and have a look for me to see if what you said is true."

After entering this small clinic, I found that although the place is remote, it has everything. Various qualifications are hung on the wall, and the large, shiny brown medicine cabinet stands tall and takes up an entire wall.

Opposite is a square cabinet containing some of the clinic's common medicines.

The side curtain was drawn open, revealing two massage beds with several boxes of cleanly washed glass cupping jars stacked next to them.

Doctor Guo skillfully placed the pulse pillow on the table and calmed down: "Come, let's take a look at the right hand first."

Xiao Cai's mother sat down in a daze, and her trust in her increased by two points. (End of this chapter)
