Chapter 387: Wanting to Eat a Free Meal?

won't charge you for the medicinal herbs I caught today."Fang Jinshi raised an eyebrow, there was actually such a good thing.Anyway, she had plenty of recipes for medicine, so one more wouldn't make...Fang Jinshi also smiled. She didn't need to explain whether she was telling the truth or not; this old man would know soon enough.

She took out her acupuncture pouch and first used acupuncture to relieve the pain of the fat old man. Then she reached into her sleeve, actually reaching into the space inside to pull out a small handful of "cupping balm".

"Crush this and rinse it with boiling hot water, remember to be quick, make it into a fine powder before rinsing."

The young waiter didn't dare delay, took the betel nut and turned to run to the kitchen.

Fan Jinshi tore open the fat old man's shirt and stabbed him a few times in his stomach. After these needles went in, the fat old man was instantly astonished.

He found his head gradually becoming less congested. The panic he had felt just moments ago was also slowly fading away, as if it had disappeared.

his upper limbs were still numb and unresponsive, his eyes still bulging out in a strange way.

But he could really feel that the few stitches this little doll had put in were quite skilled.

The fat old man's expression changed drastically. In a short while, the second waiter brought over water mixed with powdered mahua (a traditional medicinal plant), following Fang Jinshu's instructions.

She took the bowl and, while they weren't looking, added a bit of spring water to it. Considering the old man's age, she was worried that the power of the blisterwort would be too strong for him and he couldn't handle it.

The old man didn't say a word. Fang Jinshu handed him the bowl, and he took it without hesitation, drinking all the water in one gulp.

Fan Jinxiu hurriedly helped the person up and called to the waiter, "Quick, take your host to the latrine."

The waiter looked confused, "Why would I go to the latrine"

The old, fat man was also puzzled at first, wondering who would make a patient go to the toilet while seeing them.

But the next second, a sharp pain from his abdomen caused his expression to change drastically. He hurriedly shouted to his own attendant.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Take me to the toilet!"

I can't hold it any longer.

The waiter saw that his master's face was pale and he fumbled around before finally managing to help him up and take him to the restroom.

Fang Jinshi calmly found a stool and sat down in the fat old man's room. Zong Yu frowned slightly.

"Jinxiu, what happened to the owner of the restaurant"

"That old man is suffering from a disease of affluence. Look at this table full of chicken, duck, and fish, and his layer of fat. At this age, he still eats like that. Getting sick with a disease of affluence is only a matter of time."

This disease is now called "delicious syndrome" in modern times, caused by eating too much chicken, duck and fish.

Chicken and duck are considered delicacies because their meat contains a high amount of glutamic acid, the main component of modern monosodium glutamate (MSG).

No matter how good something is, it's not advisable to overconsume it.

These words, even Ah Yu couldn't understand. Fang Jinshi changed her explanation to a simpler way for him to understand.

Zong Yu listened and nodded, "I see."

Then he'll have to eat less chicken and duck meat in the future, his wife said, she likes to touch the 'chicken' on his body.

Although he didn't understand why perfectly good people's meat would be called "chicken", since his wife said it, there must be a reason.

He can't become like that fat old man, all flabby and obese. His wife wouldn't like it.

These brain activities of hers were completely unknown to Fang Jinxiu, who waited for a while before getting impatient.

The fat old man wanted to empty his stomach, but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to come back in a short time. He still had to find a way to make money from the medicinal herbs in his hands.

The fat old man's consultation fee, let's just settle it when I come back. He doesn't seem like someone who wouldn't pay his debts.

Fang Jinshi called Zong Yu downstairs. The shopkeeper saw the two of them suddenly come down, and he wondered, "Aren't they upstairs treating the master How did they come down so quickly"

Could it be that this girl is helpless against the master's illness

The shop owner thought this was very likely, after all, she was so young and still a girl. She only knew a little bit about medicine on the surface and came out to show off.

"If I had known you couldn't cure our master, I would have sent someone back to the Zhao family to invite another doctor."

Before Fang Jinxiu could even mention the consultation fee, she heard the shopkeeper muttering under his breath.

She turned cold and asked directly, “What you said just now, about the consultation fee doubling, does that still count”

The shopkeeper said angrily, "Little girl, I think you're crazy from poverty. You haven't cured our master yet, and you still have the nerve to ask for a consultation fee"

"Don't even talk about doubling it, I won't give you a single penny!"

"And you still haven't paid for the four dishes and one soup you ordered just now. It comes to three hundred wen. At your young age, you don't learn to be good, learning from others to play these little tricks, wanting to eat a free meal!"aw had called her over today especially to say goodbye and go home with her brother."Go and make a deal with Su Yusheng for calligraphy."She couldn't say that she was stocking up on supplies in advanc...
