Yun Jiao opened Ah Tie’s lotus leaf package, and Doctor Liu saw Yun Jiao put a handful of scallions into the mortar?
Doctor Liu blinked, confirming that he wasn’t seeing things.
Then he saw Yun Jiao holding a small bamboo tube and pouring into the mortar.
The liquid that came out was golden and translucent, with a sweet fragrance—what else could it be if not honey?
Doctor Liu continued watching, but Yun Jiao didn’t take out anything else; she started grinding in the mortar.
Doctor Liu really wanted to question her, but earlier he had just praised Yun Jiao as a miracle doctor, questioning her now would be like slapping his own face.
He secretly scoffed, surely this is just a little girl playing house, hah, anyone who doesn’t know might think she’s cooking, what with scallions and honey.
He stroked the beard on his chin; should he ask for a leave in a couple of days? Otherwise, if Chief Qian comes to smash the store, he might get into trouble too.
Before long, Chief Qian stiffly came toward the counter.
By this time, the scallions in the mortar had been ground into a mush, a greenish mess, he’d thought it was some herb.
His nose twitched a few times; why does it feel a bit sweet, yet the smell is quite sharp?
Yun Jiao ground for a while, Ah Tie watched her movements, took the small porcelain pestle from Yun Jiao, and began to grind vigorously.
Once the ointment was ready, Yun Jiao signaled Chief Qian to come over, first disinfecting him with her prepared antiseptic, then applying some ointment.
Manager Wang provided the bandages, and Yun Jiao wrapped Chief Qian’s neck tightly.
With the remaining ointment, Manager Wang hurriedly packed it in a lidded small bowl, packing it up and handed it along with the herbs to Chief Qian.
Chief Qian took the medicine, stiff-necked and said, "I’ll take the medicine, and I’ll come back in three days."
"If I’m cured, I’ll pay for the medicine and consultation. If not, humph, I’ll make sure to smash this store to pieces—"
Saying this, he swaggered off.
Manager Wang laughed along as he sent Chief Qian out, then turned to ask Yun Jiao, "Girl, just three doses, aren’t you being too bold?"
"Previously, Doctor Liu prescribed five doses and there was no use."
Yun Jiao smiled, "Uncle Wang just put your mind at ease, I have this under control."
The treatment only required topical application, but Chief Qian was too fierce, so Yun Jiao prescribed three doses just to be safe.
Manager Wang pondered, reluctantly took out two taels of silver, and sighed, "I was the one who asked you to do this, if he doesn’t pay the consultation fee, I will. You take it."
Yun Jiao waved her hand, "There’s no need."
"In a few days, if Chief Qian gives the consultation fee, you hold it for me, and when I return, then you give it to me."
At this time Doctor Liu couldn’t help but ask, "I say, girl from the Gu Family, did you just use scallions and honey? Isn’t this ridiculous?"
Yun Jiao smiled at him, "Doctor Liu, you really know how to joke, how is this ridiculous."
"This is called scallion honey ointment, quite effective for treating boils."
"This recipe comes from the ’Medical Golden Mirror,’ not at all my fabrication."
Doctor Liu’s eyes widened; it was his first time hearing about the ’Medical Golden Mirror.’ After all, the Gu Family ancestors were Imperial Physicians, their inheritance is truly unusual.
He laughed awkwardly, "Is that so, hehe, it seems I am quite ignorant."
Yun Jiao then remembered, the ’Medical Golden Mirror’ was the medical book she read in her past life, it didn’t exist in this world.
However, seeing Doctor Liu’s look of envy and jealousy, presumably, he hadn’t read many medical books either.
