Chapter 173 Dried Mint

Su Cian is also in good health, with no major problems except some strain on her lumbar spine.

That's because after using the hoe for a long time and having never used it before, it didn't get better all of a sudden.

The doctor prescribed some plasters and asked him to take them back and wear them for a while, so that his body could slowly adapt.

On the other side, Zhang Jianguo brought back a large bag of Chinese medicine.

"You are a weak person because you have lost your calf. I didn't know how you were raised before. Now I can only raise you slowly and carefully with me. After all, you don't have any major physical problems, just minor ones." One after another.”

The doctor gave careful instructions and prescribed a Chinese medicine package.

"There are several kinds of traditional Chinese medicine that are not available in hospitals. You can go to the traditional Chinese medicine shop outside later and ask them to prepare a warm and tonic prescription for you. You can drink it as water at ordinary times."

Several people nodded repeatedly, and spent more than 70 yuan on physical examination and medical treatment today.

Mainly Zhang Jianguo's medicines, some of which were relatively expensive, but because he was a retired soldier, part of them was reimbursed, and the remaining part totaled 72 yuan and 46 cents.

Later they will go to an outside pharmacy to buy medicine.

Zhang Jianguo saw the list, and the price on it made him feel even worse.

If he hadn't received the unfilial son's pension before he left, he would have been able to get the money.

During this period of time, Zhang Jianguo, who had always relied on others to support him and wanted to be strong throughout his life, always felt uncomfortable.

When they walked to the Chinese medicine shop, they saw a lively scene. The Chinese medicine shop that was supposed to be empty was now filled with people.

After asking about the reason, it turned out that at the Chinese medicine shop, the master made a summer herbal tea. Just put it in a pot and boil it. The boiled water will be cool to drink, and it will not be so hot when you work.

The most important thing is that a pack only costs two cents. Two cents is just the price a child pays to buy two candies, but now he can buy a pack of herbal tea.

And now it's time to work again, and many people have bought it to cook and drink.

You must know that summer is the peak season for heat stroke. Once you have heat stroke, you have to spend several cents to buy medicine, and it may not happen once. In one summer, you may suffer from heat stroke several times.

As for this herbal tea, the old Chinese medicine doctor here said that if you drink it as water when working, you will be less likely to suffer from heatstroke.

People piled together and queued up just to buy herbal tea.

The family looked at each other in confusion, looking at the Chinese medicine shop that was surrounded by water, and strolled on the street outside for a while.

When we returned, there was no one there anymore, and the few remaining people were sighing.

"Why is it gone? For such a big Chinese medicine shop, you don't even have the ingredients for herbal tea?"

There are only two people in the entire Chinese medicine shop, one is an old Chinese medicine doctor sitting inside, and the other is a Chinese medicine apprentice outside, who looks like the grandson of the old Chinese medicine doctor.

"I'm really sorry. The herbal tea we made is sold out. The main reason is that the dried mint is gone. The main ingredient of our herbal tea is dried mint. Too many people have bought it now, and we can't supply it at the moment."

Several people sighed, finally didn't say anything more, and went back directly.

A few people went in after watching the people leave. The young apprentice was tidying up the shop that had just been messed up.

Hearing the sound of someone coming in, he didn't even raise his head: "Sorry, we have no more herbal tea here. I will let you know when it becomes available."

When he looked up, he saw that he was not a familiar person.

"We are not here to buy herbal tea. This is a prescription prescribed by the doctor in the hospital. It says there are several medicinal materials that are not available in the hospital. I heard the doctor said you have them here." The young apprentice took the prescription and compared it. From the back, I took out the missing medicinal materials from the big cabinet and added them one by one according to the proportions above.

I also prescribed a pair of boiled medicinal herbs to warm and nourish the body.

"These add up to five yuan and thirty cents, so I'll give you five yuan."

After they paid, Gu Xue thought of something. Pretending to be curious, he asked: "Little doctor, when we came here today, we saw a bunch of people asking about herbal tea. What is this?"

The young doctor had a proud look on his face: "You don't know this. This is a herbal tea specially developed by my grandfather. It contains some Chinese medicine and mint. It is used to boil water for drinking. Drinking it in summer will not cause heatstroke so easily. .”

In fact, herbal tea doesn't make much money at all. It was specially developed by an old Chinese medicine doctor to prevent people from suffering from heat stroke in summer.

Gu Xue smiled, talked a lot with the little doctor, and casually asked about mint.

"I just heard you say that your mint is gone. Where do you get all the medicinal materials here?"

The little doctor didn't have any clever ideas and said directly: "We collect these medicinal materials from various villages. Some places specialize in Chinese medicinal materials, so we can just go there and collect them. Others are broadcast from the hospital. .”

The business of traditional Chinese medicine shops like theirs is actually not very good. The popularity of Western medicine has made everyone more trustful of Western medicine, which has quick effects. For traditional Chinese medicine, which has slower effects, it has become the second choice.

"In other words, you can actually go to the village to collect medicinal materials."

The little doctor nodded.

Several other people collected the money and packed their things, and then they saw Gu Xue chatting with the little doctor, and they happened to talk about how they could go to the village to collect medicinal materials.

"This is our village. If there is mint, can it be dried and sent to you?"

When the little doctor heard what she said, he hesitated for a moment.

The old Chinese medicine doctor appeared out of nowhere, followed by a doctor.

Just when he heard Gu Xue's question, the old Chinese medicine doctor answered directly: "If the mint you have is of good quality and you send it over, we can also accept it here. We usually have the habit of storing medicinal materials here."

The old Chinese medicine doctor stood there, looking very energetic.

"I think there will be a shortage of things like mint in the future. After all, our herbal tea is cheap and easy to use, so demand will definitely exceed supply."

Not to mention, although the old Chinese medicine doctor feels a bit boastful, what he said is correct.

A packet of medicinal boiled water can last for several days. The main reason is that it makes you feel better after drinking it. With several families together, it actually doesn’t cost much for a whole summer.

Gu Xue nodded, said goodbye to them and left.

Gu Qianshan was preparing to go back with Zhang Jianguo. The two of them were old and didn't like shopping. Gu Xue and Su Ci'an were hanging out here. Young people always have so much energy.

Two newlyweds were planning to go to a state-owned hotel for a meal, but when they passed by a house, they heard the sound of things being smashed.

"Look for it, I won't believe it, I can't find any evidence."

 Some students said they couldn’t figure out the various professors. I’ll put the situation of my brother’s professor below.

  Professor Liu, 55 years old, professor of biology

  Professor Hu, 50 years old, professor of mechanics

  Professor Bai, 47 years old, professor of agriculture
  Professor Li, 42 years old, studies philosophy
