Chapter 20: take a pulse
Chapter 20 Take a pulse
They said they were going shopping, but when they really started to act, the first stop Ye Anlan and the others went was the time-honored medical clinic called Jishitang in the county seat.
In Ye Anlan's words, since they have money now, they should pay more attention to the health of their family members.
Regardless of whether you are sick or not, everyone will ask for a pulse all at once. In this way, if something goes wrong, they can also treat it in time to avoid future troubles.
Then there are her mother's eyes, her third sister's old injuries, and her younger sister's medicine jar physique. If they can be cured, Ye Anlan also wants to cure them as soon as possible.
Oh, and Zheng Fengshou who almost died of freezing and starvation, Ye Anlan also asked the old doctor to give him a pulse.
This is the first time that the old doctor sees a countryman dragging his family to say "please be safe", so he can't help but look at this family more.
At this glance, the old doctor recognized Ye Anlan who asked him about the silver building last time.
The old doctor was a little curious about where the family made their fortune, but he didn't show his curiosity.
He prescribed prescriptions for each of Zheng Fengshou, Li Shi, Ye Wei, and Ye Tang who needed medicine, and at the same time asked the little drug boy in the backyard to cook a big bowl of **** soup for Zheng Fengshou.
"This little girl's burns are not easy to treat. If you want to cure them completely, you need at least one year's unique ointment from Fucheng Baohetang."
"Ms. Li's eyes can't be helped by the old man. I gave you a nourishing prescription that is as effective as your two daughters."
"This child is suffering from freezing, and nine times out of ten he will have a fever at night. If conditions permit, you might as well let him stay overnight in the hospital."
"Then let him stay here for a night." Ye Anlan now has money on hand, and doesn't mind helping Zheng Feng collect more than a dozen copper coins for the accommodation fee. She said to the old doctor: "There is also the unique ointment of Baohetang in Fucheng, do you have it in this medical center?"
"Yes, there is." The old doctor stroked his beard with a puzzled expression on his face, "It's just that ointment, a small box the size of a palm costs two taels of silver, you guys."
"We want it." Ye Anlan signaled Ye Jinkui to take out the money, "Father, take out the bank note."
"Ah? Oh." Ye Jinkui subconsciously took out the two bank notes he had hidden in front of his chest, "It's all here."
Ye Wei's injury has always been a heart disease for their family, and now they have the opportunity to let the child get rid of those scars, not to mention the money is enough, even if it is not enough, Ye Jinkui would rather give himself to the medical clinic to work for nothing, and he will seize the opportunity to treat Ye Wei. hurt.
On the contrary, Ye Wei, who heard the old doctor say that the ointment would cost two taels of silver a box, tugged at Ye Anlan's sleeve, shaking her head in panic and helplessness, "Sister, don't, don't buy it, I'm dying, it's too expensive, It's really expensive."
That’s two taels of silver! And a small box the size of a palm would cost two taels of silver, not to say that two taels of silver would be able to heal her old wounds.
Ye Anlan handed the bank note to the old doctor with one hand, and patted Ye Wei's head lightly with the other, "What are you talking about, you. As long as it can heal your injuries, let alone a box of two taels of silver, even twenty taels , Two hundred taels a box, the eldest sister and parents will also find a way to get you money."
"And me, and me." Ye Song squeezed to Ye Wei's side, "Brother will help you get money."
The little girl Ye Tang is not willing to be lonely, "And I, Third Sister, I will help too."
The old doctor stroked his beard and smiled with relief. He is old and has many children and grandchildren. What he likes most is a family working together and being harmonious and beautiful.
He didn't take the two bank notes that Ye Anlan handed over, "There are only a dozen boxes of ointment in our hospital, I won't accept your bank notes, when you exchange the money, come to me to get the medicine again That's right."
Ye Anlan thought for a while, "Then I'll exchange the money now, my mother's medicine, can you let the medicine boy in the medical center help fry it first?"
The old doctor nodded, "I'll send someone to fetch and decoct the medicine for you."
"Yuanniang." Ye Jinkui stretched out his hand towards Ye Anlan, "Let me cash the bank notes, you stay and take care of your mother and the others."
Ye Anlan shook her head, "I'll go with you."
Two hundred taels is not a small amount, especially now that two hundred taels is related to whether they can treat Ye Wei's injuries, so Ye Jinkui is only allowed to go, in case he encounters any unexpected situation on the way.
In contrast, the old doctor is very safe here. Even if her mother and younger siblings are not guarded, she doesn't have to worry about them getting into trouble for a while.
Furthermore, there is still Zheng Fengshou. Don't look at this kid as stupid, but his stature and strength should not be underestimated. With him and Ye Song here, Ye Anlan has nothing to worry about.
She told the two of them a few words, and then asked the old doctor to find an empty room for them to stay temporarily. Finally, she and Ye Jinkui hurried to the bank.

Two hundred taels of silver, the father and daughter drove the donkey cart and brought them back in baskets.
Then, the fifty taels of it were handed over by Ye Anlan to the old doctor of the medical center.
Twenty taels to buy ten boxes of ointment, ten taels to settle the consultation fee and medicine fee of Li Shi and others, and Zheng Fengshou’s accommodation expenses, and the remaining twenty taels is Ye Anlan’s ointment deposit to the old doctor.
Her sister, Ye Wei, was not only injured on the left side of her face, but also had large dark scars on her left side of her neck, left shoulder, and left arm.
To remove all these scars, ten boxes of ointments are far from enough. Ye Anlan made a rough estimate, and felt that Ye Wei would need at least fifty or sixty boxes. However, considering the issue of freshness, Ye Anlan did not order so many boxes for Ye Wei in one go.
"How do you feel? Can you go out with us?" Putting away the few dimes of silver that the medical clinic gave her, Ye Anlan looked at Zheng Fengshou who seemed to be covered in thorns.
Zheng Fengshou nodded vigorously twice, "I can do it."
Let him lie obediently in the hospital, his uncomfortable bones are itchy.
"Then why don't you go to the tailor shop with us first." Ye Anlan took a look at the thin padded jacket that was already showing black old cotton, and decided to buy a new padded jacket for this kid first.
She greeted the old doctor, and then took Zheng Fengshou and the rest of the Ye family to the Chen Ji clothing store closest to the medical center.
Chen Ji Garment Store has a very small storefront, because the business is so good that there is almost no free space in the store.
Ye Anlan and the others stood outside the door and waited for a while, before there was barely enough space in the shop to accommodate all of them.
"Bring him a thick cotton coat and a pair of thick cotton shoes." Ye Anlan didn't want to delay any longer, and when she entered this tailor shop, she immediately explained why she came, "The cotton coat should be looser."
The store clerk heard this, and immediately compared Zheng Fengshou's stature, and brought him a cotton coat and a pair of cotton shoes.
Zheng Fengshou smiled stupidly, "Sister, do you really want to buy me clothes? Can I really wear new clothes?"
