Chapter 224

Hearing this, Cheng Yao asked nervously.

"Little brother, what do you mean by this? Why is Dr. Xu not in the hospital today?"

The apprentice at the medical clinic was still holding a basket of medicinal materials in his hand. He had only spoken a few words before he felt his hands were sore.

I saw him first putting the medicinal ingredients on the counter next to him and borrowing some strength.

Then he held the edge of the medicinal basket and explained to Cheng Yao.

"Doctor Xu has to go to the mountains to collect medicines in person on a few days every month, so naturally he is not in this medical center."

"Poison is a very fine thing, so this antidote is naturally even finer."

"The growth cycles of medicinal materials are different, the environments they live in are different, and even the moisture and sunlight they absorb may affect the final efficacy."

"Most of the medicinal materials in our medical clinic are purchased directly from trustworthy medicine farmers, but Dr. Xu's antidote prescriptions have very strict requirements for medicinal materials. A slight deviation can lead to a loss of thousands of miles."

"Treating diseases and rescuing people cannot be careless, so Dr. Xu doesn't worry about asking others to do it. He usually goes to the mountain to pick it himself."

After the medical apprentice finished speaking, Cheng Yao nodded clearly.

This just shows that these doctors and doctors are kind and responsible for their patients.

However, she didn't expect them to be so unlucky that they encountered Doctor Xu going up the mountain to collect herbs.

"That's it. Doctor Xu is really a responsible and good man."

"Then let me ask one more question. How many days does Doctor Xu usually go out? When will he come back?"

"Today is the day since he left the Huichun Hall?"

The medical apprentice blinked and looked towards the roof, as if he was trying to remember.

Cheng Yao didn't dare to disturb him and just waited silently.

After a while, the medical apprentice said slowly.

"Doctor Xu usually goes out four or five days a month."

"It's just that these four or five days are sometimes connected together and sometimes separated. It depends on the growth and yield of the medicinal materials. No one can say for sure."

Four or five days... Cheng Yao muttered silently in her heart after hearing this time.

Then, she glanced at Xiaozhu's pale expression.

I don’t know how long Xiaozhu can hold on...

Xiaozhu seemed to sense Cheng Yao's worried gaze, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head gently, indicating to Cheng Yao that he was okay.

Then, I heard the medical apprentice continue talking.

"Today is Doctor Xu's second day out. I don't know if he will be back tomorrow."

"He usually doesn't come back to the Huichun Hall until late afternoon or evening. You don't have to come too early to avoid missing out."

"However, if the poison is not too weird, you can go find another Doctor Lin and have a look."

"Doctor Lin is good at treating common poisons, while Doctor Xu is more eccentric and good at treating weird poisons."

The apprentice at the medical center has already given an overview of the situation, and Cheng Yao also has an understanding of it.

"Thank you, little brother. I'm delaying your work. You can go ahead and do your work first."

Cheng Yao smiled and thanked her, and the other party nodded politely in response, and then walked to the back hall holding the medicinal materials.

This time there is a doctor who can cure poisons in Huichun Hall, but Doctor Lin is only good at treating ordinary poisons.

Xiaozhu's disease is coming in force, and there's something very strange about it. It's obviously not an ordinary poison.

It seems that we can only wait for Dr. Xu to come back to get a chance of survival.

Since he couldn't be diagnosed as a disease, there was no need to continue to stay in the Huichun Hall.

Cheng Yao turned around and suggested to Xiaozhu.

"Xiaozhu, how are you feeling now? Do you still have the strength?" "Doctor Xu is not here now, so I can't see you immediately. Are you hungry? How about I take you to eat first?"

"Or if you feel tired, I will take you to the inn to rest first."

Faced with Cheng Yao's concern, Xiaozhu has already made a decision in his heart.

Even though he was so weak now that it was almost difficult to walk, he still pretended to be calm and said with a sincere expression.

"I'm fine, let's go eat."

"The streets are very lively, and there are a lot of things I haven't seen before."

Cheng Yao saw that although Xiaozhu's face was pale, but there was no sign of pain, she thought that his current condition was quite stable.

After hearing Xiaozhu's request, he agreed without hesitation.

"It doesn't matter if you haven't seen it before. You can eat or drink whatever you want later."

"Don't worry, I have enough money with me!"

Fortunately, when she left Yushui Town before, Qiu Wanying gave Cheng Yao a lot of money.

When you are away from home, it is difficult to move without money.

Although Cheng Yao doesn't have too much money, there is no problem in supporting it for a period of time.

She didn't want to put a psychological burden on Xiaozhu, and was deeply afraid that the other party would feel like it was dragging her down.

Xiaozhu's desire to survive is not great now, so it is better to make him happy.

As for making money, I’ll put it on the agenda after a while.

Now that Cheng Yao has cooking skills, it won't be a problem to find a job as a cook in any high-end restaurant.

Even if the restaurant doesn't want her, she can still set up a food stall by herself no matter how hard it is.

Don’t underestimate setting up a stall. No matter how small the shrimps are, they are still seafood. Follow the route of small profits but quick turnover. As long as the taste is good, you will make money.

After making up her mind, Cheng Yao took Xiaozhu and walked towards the busy street.

Opposite the Huichun Hall is a sauce-flavored pancake stall. At this moment, the pancakes on the chopping board are exuding a hazy mist.

The mist floated upward, changing from a mass to a wisp, and finally dissipated in the air.

The white mist is gone, but the fragrance is very tempting.

Cheng Yao and Xiaozhu stood in front of the Huichun Hall and took a deep breath involuntarily.

The cakes are baked one after another. When they are freshly baked, they are brushed with honey sauce and are crispy and delicious. This is the best time to eat.

So every time this time, the stall owner will shout to remind people who want to buy.

"Take a look, take a look - the sauce-flavored pancakes are coming out of the pan -"

The appearance of Maotai Xiang Pancake is brownish red, with thick sauce attached to the tough pancake skin, and the delicious flavor seeps into it through the pores.

The aroma is rich, the texture is crispy, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, sweet and delicious, it is a must-have!
After a while, many people gathered in front of the Jiang Xiang Pancake stall.

The crowd was so crowded that Cheng Yao couldn't even see the stall owner when he got to the back.

This business is so good!
Cheng Yao stood at the outermost edge, feeling envious in her heart.

This sauce-flavored pancake is a large pancake, and everyone usually has a small portion of it according to their own preferences and appetite.

After a piece of pie was divided up, the crowd dispersed.

Taking this opportunity, Cheng Yao and Xiao Zhu stood at the front.

Cheng Yao swallowed and gently nudged Xiaozhu, who was standing beside her, with her elbow.

"Xiaozhu, do you want to eat?"
