Chapter 285 - I Want a Whisker
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
The young man was lying in the water with his eyes wide open.
The old man coughed.
The young man beside him rubbed his nose and pretended to look around.
Su Ming stood to the side and watched them.
Should they do something?
It was autumn now. Could it be that the young man was comfortable lying in the water?
The young man suddenly shivered and coughed a few times.
The old man finally reacted and hurriedly helped the young man up.
The old man said to his disciple, “Go inside and make a bowl of ginger soup.”
“I know, Master.”
The young man beside him nodded and went back to make ginger soup.
“Young man, I'm sorry. I'm old. It's my fault this time. Come in and sit. I'll treat you for free.”
The young man blinked and said, “It's okay. My injury is not serious. I'll go back and apply some medicine. I'm too sleepy and want to sleep.”
The old man said, “Let's go!”
The two shop assistants who were cleaning rushed forward and brought the young man in.
Then, the old man stood at the door.
He took out his mobile phone and turned on the video recording.
“The internet always says that doctors like us force patients to go in to see a doctor. I'm here to clarify that there's no such thing. Don't talk nonsense.”
After the old man finished speaking, he turned off the video and smiled.
He opened a video app and uploaded the video.
“This time, my video will definitely get a lot of likes.”
After saying that, the old man went in.
Su Ming stood at the door and watched.
This old man was actually so fashionable.
Su Ming walked to the electric car, picked up the cup, and took a sip of water. Then he took the cup and went in.
As soon as he entered the pharmacy, he could smell a strong smell of Chinese medicine.
This was not a common pharmacy on the side of the road.
It was a little like an ancient Chinese medicine store.
On both sides of the pharmacy were cabinets with herbs in them. The attending physician sat in the middle. Next to him was the waiting area.
Two doctors who were in charge of getting medicine saw Su Ming walking over. One of the doctors stood up and smiled at Su Ming. “Young man, are you going to see a doctor or buy medicine?”
“I'm here to buy medicine. This is the prescription.”
Su Ming took out a piece of paper from his pocket and wrote down the type and dosage of the medicinal herbs that he did not have.
“Alright.”
The doctor took the paper and looked at it, then nodded.
There were actually a lot of people who came to buy medicine with prescriptions.
After all, they were a famous pharmacy. The quality of the medicine was guaranteed.
The doctor weighed the medicine with a small bronze scale.
Su Ming sat on a chair next to him. He opened the cup and took a sip of water.
Smelling the strong smell of Chinese medicine, Su Ming drank the tea.
He looked like a retired cadre.
“Young man, what's in this cup?”
Just as Su Ming was looking at his phone, a voice came from the side.
Su Ming answered subconsciously, “Ginseng.”
After saying that, Su Ming raised his head.
He was shocked!
He saw an old face very close to him.
It was the old doctor from just now.
“What do you want?”
Su Ming was especially alert.
“Young man, can you let me see this ginseng?”
The old man blinked.
Su Ming looked down at the ginseng in his cup and said, “It's already soaked in water.”
“I only look at a rootlet of the ginseng.”
The old man rubbed his hands.
“Alright.”
Su Ming didn't care.
The old man hurriedly nodded and quickly ran to the side.
He took out a packaging bag from the drawer.
Su Ming saw a pair of medical forceps.
However, the packaging was sealed and had not been opened yet.
He also saw a packaged pair of medical scissors.
The old man came in front of Su Ming and carefully opened the two packages. He used tweezers to hold the root of the ginseng and slowly lifted it up. Then he used a pair of small scissors to cut off a rootlet of the ginseng.
Su Ming smiled when he saw the old man being so careful.
That ginseng wasn't anything precious. Was there a need for him to be so careful?
Other than using it to make ginseng tea, he really couldn't think of a second use for it.
The old man wrapped the rootlet with a piece of paper and quickly ran to the counter. Then, he picked up a magnifying glass.
When the old man's disciple saw this, he curled his lips.
“Master, I don't think this ginseng is worth much. Maybe it's artificially cultivated. It's definitely not as good as our ginseng.”
“Master, you're going to have your consultation in the afternoon. There are already more than thirty patients who have registered. You'll definitely be very tired in the afternoon. Take this time to have a good rest.”
He looked at the ginseng.
His master was the top TCM doctor in the country.
It was very common for people from famous families to invite him to treat them when they were sick.
If he didn't have the heart to save the world and was willing to treat the common people, he would have retired long ago and lived a leisurely life in the capital.
He had seen all kinds of herbs.
And Su Ming actually used his ginseng to make ginseng tea. His ginseng was definitely not worth much.
The old man's disciple looked down on Su Ming's ginseng, but the old man treated it like a treasure.
The old man's eyes were wide open, his hands were trembling, and his breathing was rapid.
“Oh my god!”
Suddenly, he roared.
Su Ming was shocked.
He spat out the mouthful of ginseng tea he had just drunk.
“Master, what's wrong with you?”
The little disciple hurriedly went forward to support the old man, then stared at Su Ming and said, “Your ginseng is poisonous? Let me tell you, if something happens to my master today, I will call the police and have them arrest you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man pushed him away.
He rushed towards Su Ming like a madman.
Su Ming was a little afraid when he saw this.
The old man's eyes lit up as he held Su Ming's thermos.
He ignored the boiling water and grabbed the ginseng.
He looked at the ginseng carefully and suddenly shouted, “What a waste!”
