Chapter 1471: Rural Chinese Medicine

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

The girl looked curiously and found that the drivers were both young girls, so she couldn't help but lean over: "Are you guys also here to play? Do you have a guide?"

Xiao Cai smiled: "There's a family here whose fish is especially, especially delicious. My mom and my neighbor aunt want to see if they can buy some more. What about you guys..."

The girl enthusiastically lifted the empty plastic bag and small shovel: "Digging for wild vegetables! Although there's no one in this village, the guide is very complete; you can scan the code to understand how to dig for wild vegetables!"

The proprietress was entrusted with an important task today, and plus, hearing Secretary Xiao Zhu say that the inventory was plentiful, she followed up and repeated the hospitality: "Right, want to dig for wild vegetables? The shovel rental is three yuan each; how cheap!"

Since we're here, how can we not dig?

But Xiao Cai's mother was very good at living a frugal life. At this moment, she opened the trunk and found a small wicker basket: "Thanks, I brought my own shovel."

"Oh, oh, oh." The proprietress wasn't discouraged and turned to ask: "Then after you go to the canteen on the mountain to eat later, if you don't have a big water bottle, you can buy one from me. These are good water bottles, healthy! No smell!"

As she spoke, she picked up a few large plastic cups. Chen Yunyun, who hadn't spoken, looked closely: Good heavens! This was that kind of large-capacity ton-ton cup! One cup could hold 1500 milliliters!

Their kettle at home only held 1.6L!

The proprietress also said regretfully: "This is the biggest one; any bigger and our secretary says it's not appropriate. If you're short, come here to buy one; this one is 18, this one is 55, the quality is good, not a loss."

The new little girl couldn't understand this strange rural sales road. Although they came to the village to play, they wouldn't pack up other people's tea to take back when they left, right?

It felt so embarrassing.

At this moment, the three families chattered together and soon discussed walking up the mountain with plastic bags and small baskets to see the scenery and the environment for lunch before considering other things.

Looking at the proprietress again, although she didn't make a deal, she was exceptionally confident, as if everyone was really going to buy cups, and she was still smiling happily.

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

"Yeah!" Chen Yunyun's grandma also echoed: "Last year we went to a famous village, and the town was full of small stalls; a single sugar-coated hawthorn dared to ask for 20."

Everyone chattered. Although they had already spent money, discussing the ins and outs of the QR code guide, their initial impression of the mountain village was actually full.

"You can scan the code everywhere here."

Xiao Cai sighed: "It's quite convenient, and the content inside is also interesting—Mom, the guide says there is a rural clinic ahead, and the doctor inside specializes in traditional Chinese medicine and is especially good at helping people regulate their bodies. Do you want to go see?"

"Traditional Chinese medicine!" Xiao Cai's mother was immediately happy: "Then we must see! Your stomach hurts, and I have insomnia... Where is it? Let's go see!"

Not only her, but everyone gathered around.

In this day and age, fortune-telling and seeing a traditional Chinese medicine doctor are simply interests that everyone has awakened; they can't wait to have their pulse taken whenever they hear of someone famous. And for some reason, they always feel that this kind of rural place is the easiest to produce famous doctors!

Yunqiao Village had one main road and several side roads, and Dr. Guo's clinic was right next to the main road. The cross sign above was very conspicuous, and it was exactly the only way they had to go to the mountain.

At this moment, a large pot was boiling hot tea at the door, and one could vaguely smell the sour fragrance of hawthorn. Dr. Guo was adding firewood to it. Seeing people coming, she couldn't help but smile: "Want to drink hawthorn tea? It's free. Anyone who isn't pregnant can drink it. It helps digestion and whets the appetite, and it can also relieve discomfort from motion sickness."

Once this was said, Xiao Cai's mother nimbly unscrewed her cup and poured out the water: "I'll taste it; I'm a bit dizzy from the winding car ride."

The hot hawthorn tea had been boiling since early morning—in the entire Yunqiao Village, there was probably no one who slept in, as they slept so sweetly at night that even if they wanted to sleep in the morning, they couldn't.

Now that it had been boiling for several hours, the hawthorn meat was soft, sour, and fragrant, paired with several other traditional Chinese medicines, plus those few bags of rock sugar—

To tell the truth, the cost of Dr. Guo's pot of hawthorn tea wasn't low!

But the benefits were also obvious.

Because Xiao Cai's mother's eyes lit up as soon as she drank it: "Delicious! Really delicious! Daughter, you taste it too!"

On the other side, she 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 when you left."

Thinking about taking it away just after drinking it, Xiao Cai was a bit embarrassed. Dr. Guo, however, was very generous: "If you like it, bring a cup and take as much as you want. I'm just afraid that after you drink tea on the mountain, you won't want to take this—by the way, Auntie, don't drink too much, otherwise you'll be hungry before noon. Our canteen only has meals at fixed times."

Talking and talking, it was all about the canteen. Grandma Chen was a bit curious: "Is this the only place to eat?"

Dr. Guo laughed: "If you know any villagers, you can also eat at their homes. If you brought your own cooking utensils, you can also cook in front of the canteen, but you have to take all the trash away. However, I think, since you're here, you must taste our canteen."

"Don't worry! It's not a loss at all!"

Since we're here—it really was a universal golden sentence; everyone's heart was about to be persuaded. Chen Yunyun asked: "Then... do we need to register to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor here?"

Dr. Guo reached out to the side: "No, I am—it's okay, come and see; it's free just to look."

"However, the rules here are that taking the pulse is free, and you can choose whether to take the medicine prescribed or not, but you cannot take the prescription away."

Western medicine uses finished products, and it's the same wherever you buy medicine, but traditional Chinese medicine is different. If the efficacy and dosage of the monarch, minister, assistant, and envoy are slightly different, the effect will be worlds apart. To prevent disputes, most traditional Chinese medicine clinics don't allow prescriptions to be taken away casually.

Xiao Cai's mother, who often asked about traditional Chinese medicine, expressed understanding, but obviously didn't trust Dr. Guo's age.

However, it was free anyway!

At this age, they could go to listen to insurance classes just because the community gave out two eggs; it wouldn't hurt to look!

Xiao Cai's mother took the first step: "That's fine, you take a look for me and see if what you say is accurate?"

Entering this small clinic, I found that although the place was remote, it was well-equipped. Various qualifications were hung on the wall one by one, and the oily brown-red medicine cabinet stood tall, occupying an entire wall.

Opposite it was a square cabinet, inside which were some common medicines for the clinic.

The curtain on the side was pulled open, and there were two massage beds, with several boxes of clean glass fire cupping jars stacked on the side.

And Dr. Guo skillfully placed the pulse diagnosis on the table, her expression calming down: "Come, let's look at the right hand first."

Xiao Cai's mother sat down in a trance, her trust in her increasing by two points.
