Chapter 142 Children Are Children
After returning to the inn, Wan Xuan took out her small bag and took out a medical book to read it carefully.
Shui Yan was curious about Wan Xuan's prescription and was unwilling to leave her for a moment. He had a flattering smile on his face: "Boss, what are you looking at?"
Wan Xuan did not intend to keep it secret. "After taking my pulse just now, I do know how to use the medicine, but there is still one medicine I am not sure about the dosage, so I will take a look at Master's prescription for reference."
It turned out that what Wan Xuan was holding was Jiang Shan's prescription. Shui Yancai's eyes lit up, this was a rare and good thing.
Jiang Shan looks careless, but he is actually very careful in diagnosis and treatment. He always records down any symptoms he diagnoses and prescriptions he prescribes, as long as they are of reference value.
"Boss, can you let me see this later?" Shui Yancai smiled even more servilely, and this servile smile on her pretty face was actually pleasing to the eye.
Wan Xuan nodded: "But you must take good care of it. It took me a long time to copy it."
When Jiang Shan asked her to copy the book, he only allowed her to do so in a room without water, for fear that she would ruin his life's work.
Copy it down? Shui Yancai slapped his head and said, "Can I copy it? I want to keep a copy too."
"Okay." Jiang Shan's original intention was to compile his collection of prescriptions into a book and pass it on to future generations. This can be considered as advance publicity.
Then he remembered Wan Xuan's purpose this time and asked, "Have you finalized your prescription?"
"Okay." Seeing Shui Yancai's curious face, Wan Xuan cleared her throat and spontaneously came up with the idea that as a boss, she should teach her younger brothers, so she analyzed everything from diagnosis to the final conclusion with Shui Yancai one by one.
The two children discussed until very late and did not feel tired at all. Wen Yan saw this and felt helpless. She borrowed the small kitchen of the inn and cooked half a bowl of noodles for each of them to fill their stomachs.
Knead a fist-sized piece of dough and roll it out, then make a simple noodle soup with lard, garnished with chopped green onions and a fried egg.
The two children devoured their food ravenously. Shui Yancai was very satisfied. "I thought your dry food was delicious enough, but I didn't expect the noodles to be even more delicious. Aunt Wen, are noodles your specialty?"
Wan Xuan raised her head alertly, "Yes, this is what my mother is best at. The others are not tasty!" Once someone has tasted my mother's cooking, there will always be someone else who wants to grab the food. She doesn't want that! She will bury this matter in her heart in the future!
Shui Yancai rolled her eyes. She didn't believe it. She would go to her parents' house to try it next time. She drank the soup in the bowl and touched her round belly. "Auntie Wen, I'll go back to my room first."
Shui Yancai didn't plan to sleep yet. He went back mainly to copy books. He had to copy them down and memorize them as soon as possible. Perhaps this was one of the important secrets to surpass Wan Xuan!
Wan Xuan had almost finished her meal and checked with Wen Yan, "Mom, is the time you agreed to meet Fang Yazi tomorrow at si hour?"
"Yes."
"Then let's get up at 7:00 PM. I want to go to the clinic to get a prescription, and then I'll go with you to look at the shops!"
This is no problem, but Wen Yan is still a little hesitant: "But, don't you need to watch over the sick person over there?"
Wan Xuan nodded: "It's okay, just follow the prescription." As long as she closed her eyes, she would remember the pulse conditions of those people during the day. She would just go over tomorrow and make some minor adjustments.
"Mom, although I can write a prescription, I still don't know where the disease is spreading from." Wan Xuan was very distressed. "According to the records in the books, the disease can be spread through breath, food, sexual desire, body fluids, blood, and clothing contact... But it seems that none of these people fit the bill."
Wen Yan thought for a moment, "All of what you said is about human-to-human transmission. In fact, sometimes, it can also be transmitted between humans and animals, or humans and insects. Why not wait until they get better, and then ask them if they have experienced anything similar, such as where they have been, what they have eaten, etc. Maybe that's why they were infected."
Wan Xuan seemed to be thinking: "That makes sense, how come you know everything, mother?"
Wen Yan chuckled, "In mother's opinion, our little Xuanxuan is much more capable!"
Wan Xuan's cheeks flushed with praise, and she said shyly, "Mom, let's go and have a rest."
...
The next morning, Wen Yan woke Wan Xuan up early. She had ordered breakfast with the inn in advance, so they could eat it as soon as they got there.
Shui Yancai rubbed her eyes and asked, "Why so early?"
Wan Xuan glanced at him and said, "Eat quickly and stop talking nonsense."
Shui Yancai nodded. In the morning, each person had two vegetable buns and a bowl of tofu pudding.
He watched Wan Xuan eat hard in small bites, then picked up a vegetable bun and bit off a third of it with a “whoosh”.
Wan Xuan: ...Why am I eating so hard?
Shui Yancai seemed to finally realize how she could compare to Wan Xuan, and she stuffed the remaining bun into her mouth, feeling very proud.
Wan Xuan was not convinced, so she opened her mouth wide and took a big bite. Her mouth was filled with the bun and became round and bulging.
Wen Yan's face was full of black lines. How could this be compared?
After a fierce competition, several people arrived at the clinic early.
Shui Xingjian didn't sleep much all night. He waited in the pharmacy before dawn, wearing a face mask and fully armed, for fear of missing Wan Xuan's prescription.
Seeing Wen Yan and her group, Shui Xingjian hurried over and said, "Little genius doctor, you are finally here! Come on, check my pulse and see what's wrong with me!"
Wan Xuan saw him running out and stretching his arm in front of her, and said speechlessly: "Don't worry, go in first."
Shui Yancai felt something was wrong. Wan Xuan called his little grandfather "uncle". Doesn't that mean Wan Xuan is her mother's generation? This is not okay!
"Little Grandpa, don't let Wan Xuan call you uncle, she should call you..."
"I understand!" Shui Xingjian understood, "You should call me brother. You also think that your little grandfather is young and handsome, so you can't call me uncle, right?"
Shui Yancai:? Wouldn’t that make the generations even more confusing?
In order to prevent the generational chaos from continuing, Shui Yancai could only swallow the humiliation and tell Wan Xuan that he was the eldest, "So she should also teach your little grandfather!"
Mercury Sword touched his chin through the face towel, "I see."
Just when Shui Yancai thought he understood, he heard Shui Xingjian continue to say: "It's okay, we can each discuss our own issues, there is no conflict."
Shui Yancai: Half a day's talking wasted.
After a night of calm thinking, Wan Xuan was able to diagnose and draw conclusions faster than doing homework.
After asking everyone's name, he wrote down the prescriptions for each one and said to the little medicine boy, "The dosage for each person has been adjusted, so they all need to be boiled separately. I will come to check their pulse every day and make adjustments accordingly."
The little medicine boy took the prescription and went to boil the medicine.
Lin Shi also went there. He was really curious about the prescription and had to get the medicine himself to feel at ease.
Everything was done. Wan Xuan said to Shui Xingjian, "You guys in the clinic can take care of the rest. My mother and I have something else to do."
Mercury Sword made a bitter face, "Can't you stay?"
Wan Xuan wanted to go out with Wen Yan to check on the shop. After hesitating for a moment, she looked at Shui Yancai and said, "Little brother, you stay and keep an eye on it."
Shui Yancai was also struggling with whether to go or stay. Now Wan Xuan helped him decide, so he said readily, "Okay."
Lin Shi was looking at the prescription, saying what medicine to get, while thinking about the effect of the prescription... She didn't expect that this little girl really had some skills.
The more I read it, the more I felt like I was suddenly enlightened. Although it was 70% similar to his prescription, the medicinal properties had changed after these 30% changes. Why didn't he think of this combination?
See the last picture of Mercury Sword.
The dosage of the previous prescriptions was reduced as the patient's condition gradually improved, but this one from Mercury Sword... why was there an extra ingredient, Aconitum, in the prescription?
The shopkeeper does have a cold constitution, so it is understandable that he would use Chuanwu, but Caowu is more toxic and is generally not used.
Suddenly, Lin Shi realized, "Children are children. They actually confused Chuanwu and Caowu."
Medicine boy: "What's wrong?"
Lin Shi: "Nothing, next is three coins of Chuanwu."
