Chapter 138 Strawberry-Flavored Traditional Chinese Medicine

hospital.

As soon as Zhang Nan opened her eyes, she saw Jian Ning sitting by her bedside.

A slight smile played on her lips, and she felt like her whole day would be filled with joy.

"Ningning, why are you here so early?"

Jian Ning skillfully set up the table and then placed the breakfast in front of Zhang Nan.

"I was worried you'd be hungry when you woke up, so I made you a cup of sweetened tofu pudding and a little rice ball."

Zhang Nan's previous lack of appetite was to the point where he didn't even want to look at food.

Seeing tofu pudding and rice balls, she surprisingly felt she could eat them.

Zhang Nan picked up the rice ball, which was still warm. The rice ball was small, and he could eat it in two or three bites. After finishing the rice ball, he slowly slurped up the sweetened tofu pudding.

After finishing her meal, her voice sounded stronger than when Jian Ning had come yesterday.

"Ningning, I feel like my appetite has returned a little. Have you had breakfast?"

"I've already eaten," Jian Ning replied, her hands still busy taking out a thermos and a glass.

The thermos has excellent heat retention; when you unscrew it, the medicine inside is still scalding hot.

Drinking it like that will burn your mouth.

Jian Ning carefully went through the process, poured the medicine into a glass, and placed it on the table.

"This is a prescription I got from an old Chinese medicine doctor. I drink a cup of it after breakfast, lunch and dinner."

If it were someone else, they would probably refuse.

But Zhang Nan wouldn't doubt anything Jian Ning did to her.

She just sniffed it, her pretty brows furrowed, and she said with a troubled expression, "Ningning, this medicine just smells like it's going to be very bitter."

She's afraid of bitterness...

Jian Ning pushed the cup towards her and said softly, "Don't worry, it won't be very bitter. It's strawberry flavored."

Zhang Nan's eyes widened slightly, his gaze filled with surprise and disbelief: "Strawberry flavor?"

“Yes, I know you hate bitterness, so I specially asked that old Chinese medicine doctor to prepare it for me.” Jian Ning tapped her fingers lightly on the table twice, still reminding me, “However, after all, it is medicine, so it is still a little bitter. But the strawberry flavor will neutralize a lot of it, so it is not very bitter.”

Zhang Nan leaned closer and sniffed twice, and it seemed that he could indeed smell a very faint strawberry scent in the strong smell of herbs.

There are three beds in each ward. Except when it is inconvenient to draw the curtains to separate them, there is no privacy at other times.

The girl in bed 38 next door overheard it: strawberry-flavored Chinese medicine...

She looked over curiously, hesitated for a moment, and then said kindly, "It's best not to take this medicine randomly. The flu is so prevalent right now, and Nan Nan, you're not feeling well. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners emphasize observation, listening, questioning, and palpation; what if you take something wrong..."

The girl's mother gave her a look, and the girl immediately shut up.

Although everyone in the ward helps each other, it's still important to maintain boundaries and not interfere in other people's affairs.

Jian Ning knew the girl meant well, and explained gently, "She's a very reliable traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and the medicine she prescribed is quite mild. The nurse also said yesterday that Nan Nan's condition is very serious now, and I wanted to give it a try. Even if it doesn't work for her condition, it won't harm her body."

The girl nodded blankly, thinking to herself: Strawberry-flavored Chinese medicine, how outrageous... How reliable can this old Chinese medicine doctor be?

Around 8 o'clock, the doctors made their rounds together, checking on each person's condition and communicating with them.

When the doctor saw Zhang Nan and then noticed the person standing next to him, he smiled and said, "Finally, someone has come to take care of you. You look better today than you have in the past few days."

Zhang Nan replied, "Yeah, I had no appetite before, but now I have a better appetite. I just finished breakfast and I'm feeling a bit hungry again."

The doctors were somewhat surprised by Zhang Nan's tone of voice.

After all, based on the trend of the past few days, Zhang Nan's condition was extremely critical, and he was ready to be transferred to another hospital or admitted to the ICU at any time.

If you catch the flu, you're lucky and nothing serious happens, but if you're unlucky, your condition worsens rapidly and you die quickly.

Seeing that her condition was improving, the doctor was relieved and said, "This is a sign of improvement, which is a good thing." When they went to the next bed, the girl's mother said anxiously, "Doctor, my daughter has been lying here for three days. Last night she had diarrhea all night again. Her fever has subsided, but the diarrhea just won't stop."

The doctor said, "I'll prescribe some more medicine for your stomach; you can pick it up later."

"Okay, okay," the girl's mother quickly replied.

Jian Ning stayed with Zhang Nan for a while before having to go back to make lunch.

For sick people, in addition to treatment, their diet is also very important.

Because the hospital and the resort are far apart, it takes an hour to go back and forth.

After eating a boxed lunch yesterday, Jian Ning felt that the boxed lunches outside didn't taste very good, and the ingredients weren't good enough. Even though it was supposed to be chicken, she couldn't taste the texture of chicken and it wasn't very nutritious.

She could use the spiritually rich vegetables from the manor to make some nutritious meals for Nan Nan, which would also help her recover faster.

After returning to the villa, Jian Ning went to the chicken coop.

Chickens grow very quickly; in just a few months, they have grown full plumage.

Half of the chicken is stewed into soup, and the other half is stir-fried with ginger slices, garnished with non-spicy green peppers.

The red mustard greens are very tender right now, so she stir-fried them with garlic.

She used the eggs laid by the chickens at home, along with the tofu she made herself, to make a tofu-wrapped egg dish.

Jian Ning packed the dishes, rice, and soup into a lunchbox while they were still hot before she had time to eat her own lunch.

at the same time.

Zhang Nan felt a full bladder.

It's easy to guess; she drank a cup of tofu pudding in the morning, and then drank such a large cup of traditional Chinese medicine.

She was at her most seriously ill and had no strength to get out of bed, but she didn't want to have a catheter inserted, so her way of showing strength was to drink less water.

If she couldn't hold it in any longer, the family members of the patients in the two beds next to her would help support her.

She was so desperate to pee that she felt like she was going to explode. She threw off the covers, slowly got out of bed, and put on her shoes.

Zhang Nan took a couple of steps and realized something was wrong. The previous feeling of weakness gradually faded as she walked, as if a surge of energy was rushing from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

After walking a few more steps, she could feel that she could walk normally again.

The girl's mother in the next bed had just returned from outside with a cup of hot water when she saw Zhang Nan get out of bed. She quickly went over and said, "Oh dear, you should get out of bed and wait for me to come back. What if you fall?"

"Auntie, I feel strong again and can go to the toilet by myself. Thank you!" Zhang Nan said with a smile.

She hurriedly went to the toilet to take care of this important matter. After she finished, the feeling of needing to urinate gradually disappeared, and she felt inexplicably more comfortable.

The girl's mother stared in shock at Zhang Nan's retreating figure, then glanced at her daughter on the bed, their eyes meeting.

Yesterday, Zhang Nan was still lying in bed, and she only ate two bites of lunch. The nurse urged her to contact her family, saying that her condition was very bad.

Another patient in bed 37 couldn't help but glance curiously in the direction of the toilet.

They had all witnessed Zhang Nan's situation over the past two days.

The patient in bed 37 asked curiously, "She was so seriously ill yesterday, how come she seems to be getting better today?"

The girl in bed 38 turned around and remembered that when she took the strawberry-flavored Chinese medicine this morning, the girl in bed 37 was away for a check-up, so she told her what had happened that morning.

When Zhang Nan came out of the restroom, the two of them fell silent in unison.

After all, don't make it seem like you're talking about someone behind their back.

The two men stared at Zhang Nan, watching her return to the bed from the bathroom doorway.

noon.

Jian Ning brought lunch. She had just set up the table when she carried two lunchboxes up.

Zhang Nan took the initiative and eagerly unscrewed the other lunchbox.
