21 Betting (2/2)
”The formula is pretty standard.” The old man smiled and nodded meaningfully. He looked toward Nangong Yue and smiled, ”Little girl, if you can give me a better prescription, I'll let you get a medicine for free. How about it?”
When these words were spoken, the surrounding people were all extremely surprised. Could it be that this little girl could really give them an even better medicinal formula?
Nangong Yue's interest was piqued as she thought to herself, this is truly a case of luck. There are people delivering pillows to me. This old man was quite interesting.
If she still didn't want to cooperate, she would be too disrespectful.
Therefore, she did not hesitate any longer and said, ”This patient's eyes are unfocused. Her lips are slightly pale and there are small beans growing on her forehead. She is obviously suffering from diarrhea.”
”I also said that.” Little Doctor Li interrupted in a bad mood, implying that she was trying to pick up information from the others.
Nangong Yue couldn't be bothered with him and continued, ”Place the roasted peony root, licorice root, aconite, dried ginger, and white Poria cocos together. Three bowls of water are used to boil half a bowl. It only requires three doses of medicine.”
The old man stroked his long beard and nodded with a smile.
When Doctor Li saw this, his expression changed into one of displeasure as he chided, ”Even if this prescription of yours can used for treatment, then what right do you have to deny my prescription?!”
Nangong Yue glanced at him indifferently and said, ”You prescribed the Earth Yin medicine, which grows in a dark corner all year long without being exposed to the sun. It has a cold nature, and the patient's tongue is white and slippery, obviously having a cold stomach.
However, your prescription doesn't contain any medicinal herbs to control the cold. If the patient takes this prescription, the diarrhea, although it can be cured, will leave a hidden danger in the stomach and intestines. ”
When Little Doctor Li heard this, he was startled. He subconsciously glanced at the middle-aged woman and immediately realized his mistake. He had been too careless.
”...” Little Doctor Li pursed his lips and no longer spoke. The dejected expression on his face was a clear indication that he had lost.
At this moment, the old man let out a hearty laugh, which caused everyone to feel puzzled and confused.
”Wen Cheng, follow this little girl's prescription and capture the patient's medicine.” The old man straightforwardly made a decision and looked towards Nangong Yue. He said, ”Little girl, follow me in. If you need any herbs, just do it yourself.”
With that, he led Nangong Yue into the medicine store, leaving behind the dazed crowd outside. No one could have imagined that a young girl who looked to be no more than eight or nine years old would be even more powerful than this reputable doctor.
Xiao Yi stared at Nangong Yue's petite back with a trace of interest in his eyes. ”This little girl is really interesting!”
Just as he was about to follow, he heard Chen Guiying fanning himself and saying, ”Yi, what a pity. Today's bet won by me.” With that, he took the lead and walked into the medicine store.
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then chased after him, flustered and exasperated, ”No!” Guiying, that old man belongs to this medicine store, so he can't be counted as the hundredth person. ”
Chen Guiying put away his fan leisurely, ”Yi, you're wrong. Our bet is to guess whether the one hundred people who entered this medicine store was a man or a woman.
It's not that we don't want the number of people inside. ”Since this old doctor is the hundredth person to enter, it means that I've won!”
Although Nangong Yue was not interested in their gambling, the medicine store was not too big. It was hard to avoid hearing about it.
Only now did she understand what the two of them were doing. Xiao Yi was betting that the one hundredth person who entered the medicine store is a woman, while Chen Guiyingwas betting on a man …
