Rebirth Era: The Miracle Doctor Jiaojiao is Beautiful and Cool

Chapter 9 Xinglin Hall

Early in the morning, Gu Nanxing came back from practicing in the mountains with a cloth bag on his shoulder. Old Man Gu was already collecting medicinal herbs in sacks in the yard.

It seems that I have to go to the city to sell it today.

Gu Nanxing went around to the vegetable garden behind the house, crawled back into the house from the chicken coop, yawned and pretended to have just gotten up as he went to the bathroom.

I have to thank my mother for having a toilet in the countryside.

My grandma told me that when my mom got married, she didn't dare to go into the toilet above the manure pit behind the pigpen. My dad, who was still in love, built a luxurious toilet of 50 square meters with white tiles, a shower and flushing facilities.

It is also the best room in the Gu family.

After washing up and changing into clean clothes, Gu Nanxing went to the yard to help his grandfather pack medicinal herbs.

Gu Huaiming packed two precious wild ginsengs and a piece of dandelion in a wooden box he made himself. He was reluctant to sell them.

Gu Nanxing poured half a basket of Polygala tenuifolia into the sack and asked, "Grandpa, are you going to the county town to sell medicinal herbs?"

"Yeah." Gu Huaiming answered casually while tying the sack.

"Grandpa, I want to go too."

Gu Nanxing has been here for so long and has never been to a Chinese medicine store. If he has the chance, he must go there to learn more about the prices of contemporary medicinal materials.

I practice in the mountains every day, wandering around the mountains looking for some precious herbs and plants. Stocking up for future development in Traditional Chinese Medicine is secondary to making money, and the main purpose is to improve my current life.

To make matters worse, the cabinets and floor of the room she lived in were severely moldy, making it so damp that she couldn't sleep. The walls were full of gullies and the birds came to build nests in the cracks!
"If you want to go, just go. You won't get bored staying in the city if you go to school every day." Gu Huaiming teased his granddaughter in a bad mood.

Being locked up in school and unable to go out shopping, Gu Nanxing pursed his lips and was too lazy to say anything.

The medicinal herbs were not very heavy after being dried, so Gu Huaiming carried two bags in a backpack and only had the heart to give half a bag to his granddaughter.

"Grandpa, I'm very strong." Gu Nanxing threw another sack on the backpack.

"Hey~"

Before Gu Huaiming raised his hand to grab it, he saw her stride out of the yard with ease.

"Hey girl, if you don't get a ride today, you'll be tired one day." Gu Huaiming muttered to himself as he stood up with his crutches on his back and went to chase his granddaughter.

It was already dawn, and the grandfather and grandson couldn't get a car even after walking to the county town.

Seeing that his granddaughter was not sweating or breathing heavily, Gu Huaiming couldn't help but admire the goodness of being young.

There is a bus to the edge of the city. It is now nine o'clock and the first bus has already left. Gu Nanxing first lifted his grandfather's backpack down and leaned it against the bus stop, and then took off the one on his back.

After waiting for almost half an hour, the bus finally arrived. Seeing that the grandfather and grandson had a lot of stuff, the driver asked for another dollar more.

The old man stiffened his neck and wanted to argue but was stopped by Gu Nanxing. The three and a half sacks of goods took up a lot of space in the car, and there was a long queue behind waiting to get on the car. The quarrel would delay time, and each of them was spitting and cursing at each other, and both the grandfather and grandson suffered losses.

It's worth paying an extra dollar to avoid trouble.

"Nanxing, that's one dollar! How much can I buy with that..."

"The driver is greedy. Every time I carry herbs to sell in his car, he asks for fifty cents. This time, he even asks for one dollar!" Gu Huaiming sat down and kept talking while protecting the herbs, still feeling sorry for the one dollar.

Alas~ Gu Nanxing felt very guilty. It was not easy for his grandpa and his family to earn a penny from farming and selling medicinal herbs, and he was reluctant to spend every penny.

The dignified Immortal Lord waved his hand as if he had done something wrong!
"It's okay, grandpa. I'll make a lot of money to support you in the future. I'll build you a big house and you'll have meat for every meal."

Gu Nanxing patted his chest and promised. "Pfft~" The old lady holding onto the handlebar laughed out loud. This girl is quite interesting. Young people nowadays are lucky to be able to support themselves, and building a big house... is a luxury!
Gu Huaiming smiled bitterly, but did not discourage her confidence. He held the herbs and nodded, "Nanxing is ambitious. Grandpa is waiting to live in your big house."

Gu Huaiming got off the bus in the city, heading to the 1st and 2nd Streets.

Gu Nanxing followed his grandfather to a Chinese medicine shop called Xinglintang.

"Uncle, you're here." The pharmacy clerk looked up and saw the regular customer, and enthusiastically stepped forward to help the old man unload the goods.

Gu Huaiming opened the sack and showed it to him. "Xiao Wu, this time I'm selling you one bag of Polygala tenuifolia, two bags of Bletilla striata, and half a bag of small quantities of other miscellaneous herbs. Could you please weigh them?"

The young man looked down and saw that the goods were all good. He immediately praised, "Uncle Gu's medicinal herbs are very effective. Will you still keep the previous price?"

"Okay." Grandpa Gu nodded with a happy smile as his craftsmanship was recognized.

While weighing the herbs and calculating the price, Gu Nanxing looked around the pharmacy. On the left was an alley with desks and chairs for consultations. An old man in a white coat and reading glasses was sorting silver needles and pulse pillows. Maybe because it had just opened, there were only two or three people queuing up to see a doctor.

There are two large medicine cabinets on the wall, and the names of the medicines are carefully labeled on the drawer handles.

There is a staircase on the side of the medicine cabinet leading to the upper floor. The second floor looks like a private room. Several windows are covered with blinds, so it is impossible to tell what it is used for.

Grandpa helped Xiao Wu move the herbs to the backyard, while Gu Nanxing chatted with the waiter at the counter.

After asking some questions, Gu Nanxing had a rough idea in his mind. The most expensive thing was not the medicinal materials, but the tonics, such as the ginseng that was hundreds of years old in the mountains. The older it was, the more expensive it was.

The rare elm grass, the thousand-year-old snow lotus, the bright pearl...

The tricky Ziche River, Pangolin, and Miguel Flower...

Modern people will not go to Chinese medicine stores when they are sick, as they think it is troublesome to boil Chinese medicine and the medicine is slow to take effect.

I went to the hospital for all sorts of ailments, big or small, and took Western medicine with lots of chemicals, injections, and IV drips. I recovered quickly. Severe cases underwent surgery, and I was able to walk again in a few days and run again in a month!
Only those with terminal illnesses see Chinese medicine practitioners.

Gu Nanxing finally understood why there were only a few patients in the clinic.

She was not discouraged. She waited until she reached the middle stage of Qi training and opened the space bracelet to make pills.

By then, the products produced by this Immortal Master will surely be top-quality, and the medicine will cure the disease as quickly as western medicine.

"Girl, are you the granddaughter of the old Gu family?"

Gu Nanxing was enjoying a bright future and didn't even notice that someone was standing next to him.

She nodded politely, "Yes."

Old Wu blew away the foam from the purple clay teacup, took a sip, and closed the lid. Seeing six unpacked prescriptions spread out on yellow paper on the counter, he became interested. "Little girl, do you know what these are? What ailments are they for?"

Xiao Sun, the waiter who dispensed medicine, also looked at the little girl. They had just chatted for a long time, and he subconsciously felt that she knew something about pharmacology.

Gu Nanxing sorted out a prescription. "This is Ophiopogon japonicus, Prunella vulgaris, Rehmannia root, Achyranthes bidentata, Scolopendra, and Job's tears... The person taking this medicine has a weak spleen and stomach, and decreased liver function. They probably vomited blood due to excessive drinking. They were hospitalized for a week with no effect, and they still vomit blood every day before they came to see a Chinese doctor."

Old Wu took off his reading glasses in surprise and said, "You're amazing, girl. Are you interested in learning the skills of caring for the elderly from me?"

He knew that Old Man Gu was a barefoot doctor, so he collected medicinal herbs and carried them to Xinglintang to sell. He didn't expect his granddaughter to be such a good seedling. Old Man Gu couldn't teach the girl anything, and she needed professional and systematic learning to achieve success.

Xiao Sun was stunned. He had been working as a handyman at Xinglin Hall for three years and was still an apprentice. Old Wu said that he didn't have enough understanding!
　The medical knowledge and prescriptions in the book need to be studied!

　　Not to be used for real-life pathological symptoms!

　　My dear children, remember not to rush to seek medical treatment when you are sick!!!
