Chapter 17
Space and Rebirth: The Favored Genius Doctor and Businesswoman - chapter 17 - A Medicinal Material Marketplace (药材市场)
Under the admiration of the other stall owners, Jing Yunzhao packed her things and left . She understood that she was only a child . Earning money through this method was fine occasionally, but if she were to do it often, others would definitely become envious .
The scrolls given by the ancestor contained a martial art that also helps nurture the body . She practiced it for a few days in her space . Her constitution had improved, but she didn’t have enough to protect herself . So she still has to be careful .
“Little girl? Were you the one selling those apples?” Jing Yunzhao had only taken a few steps when she heard a familiar voice coming from behind her .
She turned around and saw Doctor Gan, the county hospital’s doctor she had asked for help from . The old man was wearing traditional Chinese clothing . It seemed like he was out on a walk . He looked completely different than he did in the hospital .
“Doctor Gan, why are you?” Jing Yunzhao nodded politely and said .
“My daughter gave me some fruits . My neighbors all liked them and split them all before I could even taste one…” laughed the old doctor . “My daughter had something to do and left, so I could only come by myself . I was told that the seller looks to be a 15-16 year-old girl . I didn’t think it would be you . ”
Doctor Gan was very curious . This girl probably hadn’t even reacher 16, yet she set up a stall herself to earn money?
But thinking about it, it was kind of sad . Her dad was obviously a man who seeks nothing but profits . When his wife was bedridden, all he could think of was those pills! Also, he had the chance to save his wife, but he rejected it!
Doctor Gan couldn’t understand how a man like that would have such a sensible daughter .
Jing Yunzhao also had a good impression of Doctor Gan, “I’ve sold all of the apples for today, but I can deliver some to you tomorrow at noon . I still haven’t thanked you for last time!”
“It’s nothing to thank me for . It should be me who should be thanking you . Oh, and I can’t take advantage of your prescription . Come with me to the bank . I’ll withdraw some money for you . ” Doctor Gan said hurriedly .
To doctors, prescriptions are very precious . If Jing Yunzhao’s prescription was to be put to good use, don’t mention money, even the doctor’s reputation would go up by a lot .
Those studying medicine might not be doing it for the money, but they do care about their reputation to some extent . If Doctor Gan was to meet someone with the same illness as Ye Qin’s, he would have to use Jing Yunzhao’s prescription . But then, it would be a huge loss for her .
The medical skills Jing Yunzhao had been reading were mostly ancient methods . They also contained some rules . Her ancestor also had reminders of the importance of prescriptions in the jade pieces, so she understood Doctor Gan’s offer .
The old doctor’s character was good . If she was to reject this money, he would worry .
But this prescription was something that she had asked him to see . If she accepted his money, she believed it would be too rash .
She thought about it and said, “I don’t need the money, but I have something I need you to help with . ”
“Oh?” Doctor Gan had a curious face .
“I want to buy some medicinal seeds, but I don’t have any experience . I only have a few hundred RMB . If I were to go alone at my age, I will definitely get scammed . So I would appreciate if Doctor Gan could help me . If you have time, can you take me the medicinal material marketplace? You, as a TCM doctor, must be very familiar with these things,” explained Jing Yunzhao .
(T/N: I’m sorry if Jing Yunzhao’s words came out a bit rude . She uses very polite and respectful speech towards Doctor Gan . I just don’t know how to translate it with my fucking rude ass American English . Librismuse is really helpful . )
Doctor Gan was even curious now .
At the hospital one week ago, this girl said that she had a shifu . He was worried about the condition of the patient so he didn’t get the chance to ask . Looking at her right now, she seems like a complete amateur .
(T/N: I left out the last sentence of the last paragraph . I exclude things pretty often, but I make sure it doesn’t affect the reader’s understanding of the story . )
