Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Chapter 34 Though there is no imperial carriage, it is as if I am personally present.

The afternoon sun shone warmly and obliquely.

Gan Yuwan set aside a section of the backyard against the wall, intending to plant a few rows of vegetables.

In the county town, even a single scallion costs money. If I grow my own, I can save on that expense in the future.

The fat pig they had previously swindled from Zhang Delan's family was also taken to the county town and settled in properly.

Gan Yuwan plans to try out her little girl's method with pig offal tonight to see if she can actually make something delicious.

Yun Huaikang took Yun Pianpian and Yun Ziyan out to buy things.

Yun Shuangshuang and Yun Qiaoqiao helped Gan Yuwan turn the soil and plant vegetables.

Yun Shengsheng was too young, so her mother arranged for her to play on the side.

Bored, she picked up a twig, squatted down by the door, and started scribbling on the ground.

I was drawing when a commotion suddenly broke out next to me.

She peered out curiously.

She knew there was a small clinic next to her house.

Right now, in front of the clinic, an old man with a white beard is cursing loudly, his spittle flying everywhere, his voice so powerful it could attract people from several streets away.

"Have you no conscience? A respectable medical clinic selling fake medicine! Aren't you afraid people will die from it?!"

"Opening a clinic and selling counterfeit medicine will bring divine retribution, make you childless, and cause your children to be born without an anus..."

The old man spewed out vicious curses, and no one dared to utter a sound.

When the old man got excited with his cursing, he flung the medicine packet in his hand, scattering the herbs all over the ground like a shower of flowers. A few pieces rolled to Yun Shengsheng's feet.

Yun Shengsheng looked down.

She used to travel the world with the CEO to make investments, and coincidentally, one of them was a company that sold pharmaceuticals.

To ensure she invested her money wisely, she spent six months diligently studying Chinese medicinal herbs and prescriptions. She knew the names and properties of those herbs by heart, and could identify them almost perfectly with her eyes closed.

The things scattered on the ground are ginseng, atractylodes macrocephala, poria cocos, licorice, angelica sinensis, chuanxiong rhizome, white peony root, and prepared rehmannia root. Isn't this the Eight Treasures Formula? It's a very common formula, often used for weakness after illness or excessive blood loss.

The old man's outburst drew a large crowd of onlookers, who gathered in layers to watch the spectacle.

The pharmacy owner, of course, wasn't about to let him ruin his reputation for no reason. His face flushed and his neck bulged as he argued vehemently, "Old man, don't make baseless accusations! What's wrong with my herbs? Point it out!"

The old man, hands on his hips, raised his voice three octaves higher: "Are you blind?! Take a good look at this medicine, see if there's anything wrong with it? Everyone, take a look too, everyone, take a look!"

Some curious passersby actually picked it up and examined it.

But ordinary people can't distinguish between good and bad medicinal herbs, so they'll just be wasting their time looking at them.

Yun Shengsheng stood at her own doorway, casually grabbing a few crumbs, taking a closer look, and then smelling them. Her brows immediately furrowed.

"The ginseng... is fake."

Her voice was so soft it was like a mosquito's hum, and no one else could hear her.

But the sharp-eyed old man turned his head around in a flash.

The old man stared at Yun Shengsheng, his eyes shining as if he had found a gold ingot.

He immediately threw the pharmacy owner aside, grabbed a handful of herbs, and squatted down in front of Yun Shengsheng, looking just like a kidnapper preparing to abduct a child.

The old man forced out a smile that was so kind it was suspicious:

"Little girl, look again, what is this that Grandpa is holding?"

He picked up a piece from the pile of medicinal herbs and held it up to Yun Shengsheng.

Yun Shengsheng wondered if the old man was sick.

I didn't want to talk to him at first, but seeing his "I won't leave until you tell me" attitude, I felt that if I didn't speak up, I might really be pestered to death.

Reluctantly, he uttered two words:

"Atractylodes macrocephala".

The old man's eyes lit up again, and he grabbed another piece: "What about this one?"

"Poria cocos".

"This one! This one!"

Licorice.

"This one, this one, and let's look at this one too!"

Angelica sinensis.

"And there's more—"

Rehmannia glutinosa (processed)

……

The old man asked questions faster and faster, while Yun Shengsheng answered more and more smoothly, the old man and the young girl performing a duet.

Finally, the old man stood up abruptly, his face beaming. He didn't care how many onlookers were still gathered at the door, nor what color the pharmacy owner's face had turned. He strode into Yun Shengsheng's courtyard.

The pharmacy owner followed behind, looking on in bewilderment, peering around the shop with a curious and tentative gaze.

The shop isn't open yet; they're still tidying up inside. Who knows what kind of business they run?

Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, the pedestrians dispersed in twos and threes.

Yun Huaikang returned with Yun Pianpian and Yun Ziyan at this time, and the family was unloading the goods.

They saw the strange old man stride in, followed by their young daughter.

The couple were taken aback, wiped the dirt off their hands, and asked curiously.

"What's wrong with you, sir...?"

The old man swept the yard around and found that it didn't look like a pharmacy, which made him even more curious.

If this child doesn't work for a pharmacy, how does he recognize so many medicinal herbs?

But he still asked, "Does your family own a pharmacy?"

Gan Yuwan was somewhat displeased, but still shook her head: "No, sir, we're opening a pastry shop behind our house. It should open in about five or six days. You're welcome to come and buy pastries then."

The old man tugged at his beard and asked again, "Does anyone in your family practice medicine?"

This question left the whole family completely baffled.

Yun Huaikang patiently explained, "No one in our family practices medicine. What exactly is wrong, sir? If you need medical attention, there's a clinic next door; you can go there."

The clinic owner, who was peering through the door frame, rolled his eyes dramatically. This old man was clearly insane!

The old man stroked his chin: "I don't treat patients; I am the doctor myself."

The family was even more confused: What exactly was this old man trying to do?

Suddenly, the old man pulled Yun Shengsheng in front of him, as if showing off some treasure, and announced to Yun Huaikang and Gan Yuwan, "This girl has a talent for medicine. You two hand her over to me, and I will teach her medicine."

The whole family was stunned.

Gan Yuwan darted forward, picked up Yun Shengsheng, and hugged her tightly, taking several steps back. Yun Huaikang immediately stepped in front of his wife and daughter, frowning at the old man: "Grandpa, you're joking. My daughter is still too young to study medicine."

What he was thinking was that even if his daughter really wanted to go down this path in the future, he had to find a proper doctor to teach her, and he couldn't let this seemingly crazy old man teach her. What if he was a kidnapper and abducted his precious daughter?

Seeing their expressions, the old man got so angry his mustache stood on end: "Hey, hey, what are you thinking? I'm not a kidnapper! I'm a legitimate doctor!"

As he spoke, he pulled a sign from his pocket and angrily flashed it in front of the group.

The group crowded around to take a look, and only Yun Huaikang recognized a few characters, though he hadn't learned them all yet.

Yun Shengsheng also peeked out and was completely dumbfounded.

The sign prominently displayed the words: "Though there is no imperial carriage, it is as if I am personally present!"

[Holy crap! This is a gold medal bestowed by the emperor? Who is this old man? How does he even have something like this...?]
