After entering the back hall of the pharmacy, the host and the guest sat down, and Doctor Yang said with a smile:

"Ms. Ning Zhou, where did you get this prescription? Do you still remember the name of the medical book?"

He was very busy these days, reading books, asking for advice everywhere, and finally a colleague in the county wrote back to him.

Tell him that this method may seem simple, but it actually involves a lot of profound details and only a great doctor can think of it.

Chicken leg bones can replenish the body with like substance, and Panax notoginseng powder is very effective in promoting bone healing. Drinking it as soup on a daily basis should be very effective for thigh fractures.

However, although pharmacology is exquisite, it still needs to be tested in practice. The man asked him to do it if he found a patient to be treated and the other party was willing to spend so much money to treat him.

Regardless of whether the effect is good or bad, he should be informed of the results.

After all, Panax notoginseng is now more expensive than gold, and Panax notoginseng of good quality is almost the same price as century-old ginseng.

He was the doctor working in the largest pharmacy in the county. Although the county was not far from the capital, it was located on the border and had many mountains in the west.

The land was barren, business was poor, and the people lived in poverty.

Therefore, even in the county town, there are no specialized clinics, only drug stores.

The doctors in the pharmacy are the doctors that everyone can go to.

He consulted many people, and this doctor was the one with the highest status, but he was also the last and most cautious to reply.

The reply letter took up three full pages, discussing the pharmacology, formula, origin, etc. of the prescription.

This surprised Dr. Yang and he also learned a lot.

As a result, he attached great importance to Zhou Yue, and his attitude towards Zhou Yue took a 180-degree turn.

This made Zhou Yue flattered. With the messy knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine that she had learned, the method she came up with on a whim was actually praised by the ancient old doctors.

It can be said to be a blessing in disguise.

Zhou Yue saw that there was a way, and replied:

"I don't remember. I saw it a long time ago. As you know, I met someone a while ago..."

Okay, Doctor Yang nodded helplessly.

"I have an unwelcome request, I wonder if you can agree to it?"

"Please speak."

"Ahem, that's right. I feel guilty saying this. You came up with this prescription yourself, and the herbs are yours too."

Seeing Zhou Yue's expression, Doctor Yang continued:

"I wonder if I can watch while you treat your old man.

I won't say anything, just watch.

I will visit Mr. Ning at your house every other day and take his pulse. I won’t charge any consultation fees.”

Doctor Yang finished speaking in a hurry, staring at Zhou Yue intently, thinking that if she didn't agree, it would be okay to give her some money.

Anyway, if this prescription is successful in the experiment, I will be able to use it by then. And relying on the relationship between the two families, I can ask for permission to use this prescription to treat illnesses. That would be a great thing.

This method will also become my signature method, and it will not be impossible for me to become a specialist in treating bone injuries.

I felt that I had wasted half my life and had only inherited some prescriptions from medical books that my teacher had taught me, without making any achievements of my own.

If I can use this method to treat more patients with bone injuries and accumulate experience, after more than ten years, I can publish a book and train some talented apprentices.

Then I will have no regrets in my life.

There are many patients suffering from fractures in the countryside every year. Most of them are the heavy laborers in their families, and many of them become poor due to illness.

If a broken bone can be cured and the leg or arm can be prevented from becoming lame or unable to use, then the lives of the whole family will be saved.

I think Zhou would agree.

Zhou Yue originally thought that the reason he gave this prescription to Doctor Yang was because he was not sure.

Moreover, I don’t know how to take a patient’s pulse, so I still need the help of this experienced old doctor to monitor the effectiveness of subsequent treatment and the increase or decrease of medication.

Hearing the other party say this, everyone naturally agreed.

The two of them were discussing some details, and before they knew it, two hours had passed.

Jun Mo and Dao Ge were getting impatient waiting and walked around the door of the drugstore for many times.

Seeing that Brother Dao had come to the backyard of the drugstore several times in person, Zhou Yue felt that it was almost time, so he declined Doctor Yang's offer to stay for dinner and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

She came to the market and strolled around with Jun Mo and Dao Ge, hoping to meet some children.

They had discussed it beforehand and finally met at the door of the pharmacy.

We walked and looked along the way. This market was not big. It was on the bank of a small river. It was only two miles at most from east to west.

There are some shops, but most of them are still street stalls.

Zhou Yue bought a candied haws for Jun Mo and some lamb bones for Dao Ge, and they ate slowly while walking.

Fortunately, we didn’t walk far before we met the four brothers and sisters.

I saw that the baskets on Yuan Mo and Xuan Mo's backs were full of things.

Qing Mo and Yang Mo also held a few cloth bags in their hands.

Looks like I've almost bought it.

Zhou Yue asked them to put their things down and rest for a while while she looked through the documents and discussed with them.

After flipping through the pages, he said, "You've almost finished buying everything. Wait here for me while I go buy some cotton."

"Mom, I'll go with you. Let them wait here. It's cooler under the tree."

"Well, that's fine. Brother Yuan, come with me. You guys wait for me under this tree." Zhou Yue pointed to a big poplar tree by the river.

Several children agreed obediently.

After putting down the things, Yuan Mo followed Zhou Yue to the only cloth shop in the town.

When I walked into the fabric shop, I found that the variety of products was not as limited as I had imagined. Fabrics of various colors and textures were filled on the counters and shelves.

Soon a guy came and asked them what they needed.

Most of the shops in the town do not judge people by their clothes; most of their customers are poor people from nearby villages.

The shelves are mostly filled with coarse fabrics.

There were also a few pieces of coarse silk cloth, but very little and of a single color.

Silk is a material for noble people to wear. If you wear it, your face will be scratched after a short while.

Zhou Yue explained his purpose and the waiter immediately pulled out a large bag of cotton from under the counter.

Cotton is not grown here, so the only way to buy cotton is in the store.

"You've come at the right time. The shopkeeper just bought a batch of cotton yesterday. It may not be available on ordinary days.

Auntie, look at this cotton, it's so good, so white and soft."

Zhou Yue and Yuan Mo touched the soft thing and found it very comfortable to the touch. It was a good thing.

"How much does it cost per pound?"

“This batch of cotton is of good quality and a little more expensive, 180 wen.

This is much better than the 170 wen last time."

The guy was afraid that the customer would think the product was too expensive, so he tried his best to sell it.

But Zhou Yue and Yuan Mo were still shocked by the price.

Pork is fifty cents a pound, and salt is eighty cents a pound.

This cotton, even though it's imported, is too expensive.

A strong laborer could only earn about 180 copper coins for a day's work in the county.

It takes several days of work to buy a pound of cotton.

There is only one store here, no other branches. If you don't buy it here, do you have to go to the county just for a kilogram or two of cotton?

This county does not produce cotton, and going to the county may not necessarily save you a few cents, and the travel expenses may not even be enough.

Never mind, just buy it here.

"We want two pounds. You pick the best one and weigh it. Make sure it's enough."

"Okay, don't worry, we never do anything that would cheat you of weight or quantity in our store."

There will be a little baby in the family. Chunniang is due next spring.

By that time, the spring will be chilly and the baby will be delicate, so he needs to be wrapped warmly.

As their hands stroked the soft cotton, the mother and son felt as happy as if they saw a baby wrapped in it.

The clerk swiftly put the cotton bag on the counter and took out the cotton to weigh it.

As he was taking it out, a package was brought out and fell onto the counter with a clatter.
