Chapter 83: Promoting Herbal Tonic (1)
These words made Wei Bo’an and Lu Baisha’s expressions change. This person knew what was going on even before examining her?
“Doctor Bei Shu, can this illness be cured?” Wei Bo’an looked at Xu Qing excitedly.
Xu Qing didn’t jump to conclusions. “I still need to feel her pulse to confirm.”
“Baisha, take one more examination!” Weiboan looked at his wife anxiously.
Lu Baisha sighed slightly and said, “Let her come over.” She really felt that there was no hope, but how could she bear to crush her husband’s hope?
Seeing that the madam had agreed, Xu Qing walked over to take her pulse. As expected, it was as she had thought. “Madam is indeed diabetic.”
Wei Bo’an nodded. The other doctors had said si, but none of them could cure her. He said anxiously, “Do you have a way?”
Xu Qing replied, “If Madam is willing to cooperate with the treatment, there will be a way.”
A trace of hope lit up in Wei Bo’an’s eyes, but Lu Baisha refused. “I don’t want to! I really don’t want to continue eating bitter medicine, nor do I want to abstain from eating anything I like. I feel that there’s no hope in life.”
Xu Qing was a little helpless. It seemed like Madam was usually pampered. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been unable to withstand this.
Wei Bo’an looked pained. “Then can you bear to abandon me?” A doctor had said before that if this continued, she would die.
Hearing this, Lu Baisha froze and she didn’t say anything for a long time.
Xu Qing sighed slightly. “Madam, don’t be in a hurry to refuse. I haven’t said how I would treat you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Baisha swayed her fat body and said excitedly, “Then how are you going to treat me?”
“You don’t have to suffer, but you have to take the herbal tonic I make and apply acupuncture. It will definitely have a curative effect on your illness,” Xu Qing said confidently.
However, Lu Baisha wasn’t confident at all. She lowered her head. What kind of food could a doctor make? Moreover, it was herbal tonic. That thing was even more bitter!
Wei Bo’an looked at Xu Qing in confusion.
“If it’s convenient, I can make a serving now,” Xu Qing said.
“It’s convenient. Little Huang, bring Doctor Bei Shu to the kitchen.” Wei Bo’an thought about it and decided to give it a try. What if it worked? Wouldn’t everyone be happy then? He instructed the servants to bring Xu Qing to the kitchen.
Xu Qing and Qiao Yanhui went to the kitchen together, but Qiao Yanhui was depressed along the way. He pouted and exuded a depressed aura. Because his wife was going to cook for someone else, he was unhappy. He hadn’t eaten yet.
“Little Hui, I’ll make it for you when we get back, okay?” Xu Qing looked at Little Hui, who was jealous but didn’t dare to speak, and couldn’t help but laugh.
Qiao Yanhui was instantly overjoyed when he heard Xu Qing’s words, but he was only happy for a moment. When he thought about how Xu Qing still had to cook for others, his expression darkened. Everything Xu Qing had was supposed to be his…
Xu Qing coaxed Qiao Yanhui for a while, then ignored him. She didn’t know how to cook ordinary food, but she knew how to make herbal tonics. After Xu Qing mixed in the herbal tonic, the taste was different. Soon, Xu Qing made four dishes and a soup.
“It smells very good,” Lu Baisha said as she smelled it.
“Try it.” Xu Qing smiled. It was time for dinner, so she believed that Lu Baisha would be able to eat it.
Lu Baisha ate the medicinal cuisine and felt that the taste was novel and made her hungry. She took a bite and her expression changed. “It’s so delicious.” In the end, Lu Baisha subconsciously ate all four dishes and the soup. Because of her current figure, her appetite had long changed, and she didn’t think much of it.
Lu Baisha put down her chopsticks in disbelief. “Can my illness be cured by eating medicinal cuisine like this in the future?”
“There’s also acupuncture. But Madam, you can’t eat anything else in the future,” Xu Qing reminded.
“Alright, I agree!” There was good food that could cure her. Of course, Lu Baisha would quit eating sweets. As for acupuncture, it wasn’t that she couldn’t accept it.
“I’ll teach your family’s servants to cook these medicinal dishes. However, Madam, please don’t leak the prescription because I’m still preparing to open a hotel that operates medicinal dishes. Madam, you can come over and try them when the time comes,” Xu Qing said clearly.
Lu Baisha naturally agreed. They wouldn’t take advantage of the commoners! Wei Bo’an was even more grateful to Xu Qing. Seeing that it was getting late, he wanted to ask them to stay, but Xu Qing refused.
“Since you’re in a hurry to leave, I won’t keep you any longer. This is the remuneration we agreed on. I hope you’ll accept it. Of course, the medicinal cuisine list left behind by you is priceless. I’ll only promise you one thing. In the future, as long as you need help, you can look for me. I definitely won’t refuse!” Wei Bo’an said solemnly.
