Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 258 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (48)

For some reason, Jiang Qiuchen felt that Wen Rushi looked particularly lonely, as if he was remembering something sad.

Seeing Jiang Qiuchen's worried look, Wen Rushi smiled with relief, and told her not to pay too much attention to her and just continued talking.

"Secondly, you are not from Lingzhou. Not to mention that you look unfamiliar, you are also very young."

"Being young is not necessarily a good thing for a doctor. Medicine is a subject that requires experience. Naturally, the older you are, the more you know."

"If the common people have any physical discomfort, they will naturally go to the clinic to find an experienced old doctor to see them first."

"You are young, so it is normal for people to look down on you and not trust you. Although this is a bit frustrating, there is no other way. You can only rely on your strength to let everyone know."

"What's more, you are a mobile stall, and you don't have your own prepared herbs. After you see the doctor, you have to go to the pharmacy with the prescription. If it's a minor illness, it's fine, but if you encounter an emergency, it will be terrible."

While Jiang Qiuchen was analyzing, he saw the meat bun shop on the corner across the street. When the owner lifted the steamer, the aroma wafted far away.

After the stall is closed, I have to go buy some hot buns to eat, Jiang Qiuchen puffed up his cheeks and thought to himself.

One thing is one thing, and her greed won’t stop her from thinking about serious things.

“So, we can carry a medicine box with some simple medicinal herbs when we travel in the countryside.”

"The countryside is vast and sparsely populated, and the density of people living is greatly reduced. If a foreign visitor comes to the village, it is a rare event."

"We can take advantage of people's curiosity and say that we will provide free consultation first and then pay after you recover."

"It doesn't matter if we can't get the medical fee. We can just take whatever we have at home. I think we can eat some corn and sweet potatoes very happily."

"If it's convenient, we'll give them a prescription and ask them to buy the medicine themselves. If it's not convenient, we'll collect the money and bring it to them the next day."

Wen Rushi's eyes became brighter and brighter. After Jiang Qiuchen's analysis, she felt that this matter seemed to work.

"It's not easy for country people to go to the city to see a doctor. They have to use a bullock cart and it takes a long time to get there."

"If their bodies were already in poor health, they would probably get even worse after such a bumpy ride. So they would try to endure it as much as possible. If the condition became serious, they would just find some folk remedies in the countryside to deal with it. They would not go to the city to see a doctor unless it was necessary."

"You suddenly appeared out of nowhere, so the cost of the consultation is almost nothing. If you can just cure a few more people, won't your good reputation spread in no time?"

"When you return to Lingzhou City, patients will come to you to seek medical advice."

Wen Rushi clapped his hands and jumped up from his seat in excitement.

"Yes! Miss Jiang is absolutely right!"

“Instead of staying here in vain, I might as well carry my medicine box and walk around the countryside to let go of the remaining heat.”

"Reputation is secondary. It's just that after Miss Jiang's reminder, I realized that the people in the rural villages need doctors far more than the people in Lingzhou City."

"Without further delay, we will close the stall and go back to prepare the things we need to bring tomorrow."

Seeing Wen Rushi's impetuous look, Jiang Qiuchen was led to clean up before he could say anything more.

The surrounding vendors were not surprised to see them leave. They just thought that they were two young people who came out to experience life but got humiliated and ran away in shame.

After moving the stall items back to the yard, Wen Rushi hurried out. Headaches and fevers were the most common symptoms, so she had to go to the pharmacy to buy some basic medicinal materials. After Jiang Qiucheng tidied up the house, she didn't see Wen Rushi coming back, so she went out along the road.

After turning two corners, he bought the meat buns he wanted to eat just now. Remembering that Wen Rushi had not had lunch yet, he ordered two more.

The bun skin is just the right thickness, not too thick, but not too thin to lose its taste.

The filling is full and juicy, like the product of a perfect blend of broth and spices that have been stewed to perfection.

You can smell the mellowness of fresh meat, the spiciness of green onions and ginger, and the faint wheat aroma of the steamed dough.

These smells intertwined together increase one's appetite.

While eating the buns, Jiang Qiuchen also chatted with the owner of the bun shop and learned about the conditions of the villages and towns around Lingzhou.

Except for some villages located on the low plains, most of the villages are hidden in the high and low hills.

Many strong young people in the village also chose to come to Lingzhou City to make a living, leaving only some old people and children in the village to guard the few acres of barren land and the precarious old houses.

Jiang Qiuchen finished one in just a few bites. When he was eating seriously, he saw Wen Rushi coming back breathlessly with bags of medicinal herbs in his hands.

"Hey, hey, hey, let me help!"

Jiang Qiuchen shouted and rushed forward with a bun in his mouth. He took the medicinal materials from Wen Rushi's right hand and handed over the meat bun in his hand.

"Let me take this. You haven't eaten for most of the day. You must be hungry. Take this bun. It's delicious, I tell you!"

"Thank you, Miss Jiang." Wen Rushi smiled gratefully and leaned over to complete the handover.

The two walked back side by side. Although the road was long, they did not feel lonely.

……

The next morning, the two set out early, walking in the morning light and dew, passing through the bustling morning market and heading out of the city.

When passing by Lingxiang Palace, he stopped by to pay a visit and told Gu Xiao that they were planning to go to the countryside together to provide free medical treatment. Hearing this, the other party felt excited and wanted to go with him.

However, considering that there were many things going on in the city, he couldn't leave easily. Also, his image as a bully was not very good, so he had to give up for the time being.

After joking, he waved goodbye.

Gu Xiao leaned his body and watched the two figures gradually walking away, with an envious look on his face.

Wen Rushi carried a medicine box on her back, which contained some simple medicinal herbs she had prepared last night, as well as a set of silver acupuncture needles that she always carried with her.

Jiang Qiuchen carried a small basket on her back, which contained the dry food and water they would eat for the day. They had to walk and stop all day, so they could not go without enough food.

Especially Wen Rushi, she didn't care about anything else when she was busy. When it was time for dinner, she didn't even know to find something to fill her stomach.

It was not until Jiang Qiuchen found out and brought the food to her that she hurriedly ate a few bites.

It took them almost half a day to reach the first village.
