Secretary Xiao Zhu was giggling all the way, and Guo Dong couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
After returning to Song Tan's house, the first thing he did was to take out the pound of golden cherries that Qiao Qiao had picked and look at them - he was not in that hurry, his main purpose was to show his calmness.
The golden cherries in the basket are all oval in shape, with plump and sharp thorns, and are golden red in color, very bright.
Not only is there not a trace of impurities, but even the thorny stems have been removed for a long time. It is indeed of good quality and is picked with great care.
She turned around and asked, "Auntie, do you have any unused sacks or cloth bags at home? It doesn't matter if they are torn. I can remove the thorns from these golden cherries."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Wulan returned to the storage room and rummaged around, quickly pulling out a gray-green torn sack - probably used to hold wheat bran.
Guo Dong didn't dislike it. He quickly poured the golden cherries in, rolled them up twice, threw them on the ground, and started rubbing them with the soles of his shoes.
Secretary Xiao Zhu's eyebrows jumped when he saw this:
"Didn't you say that Chinese medicine is of very good quality? Is it prepared like this?"
"What else?"
Guo Dong said as a matter of course: "Other people are used to this job, they have calluses on their hands, they are not afraid of small thorns, they can rub them with their hands."
"I don't have that ability, so I'll just use my shoes first. There's a bag wrapped around it, so what are you afraid of? Anyway, that's all I have, so I'll try the medicinal properties first."
Thinking of this, she came to her senses again, looked at the people in the Old Song family who were all busy with their own things, and whispered to Secretary Xiao Zhu:
"If I really stay, you should talk to Song Tan's family and tell them that these herbs can't be sold at such a high price!"
Two hundred is too outrageous!
Secretary Zhu also smiled in an especially intimate way: "Then tell me, can you buy these two meals you ate outside for 200 yuan?"
"I myself have to work very hard to get a free meal here. You definitely can't afford to lose out on this quality! You should just be thankful that no one is competing with you for now!"
Guo Dong was silent.
All right.
She lowered her head in frustration and rubbed the golden cherry again, while she said loudly as if nothing had happened: "Auntie, these golden cherry can be stored for a long time if they are steamed and dried. They can also be used with donkey-hide gelatin to make golden cherry paste, and can also be used to make sugar paste."
"Really?" Wu Lan was surprised.
Why is Dr. Guo so enthusiastic? Oh, what a sincere girl.
That's it...
She looked at the thorny fruits that Guo Dong was still messing with, and shook her head, saying, "Forget it. This is too troublesome. We don't need this kind of food at home, so I won't bother with it."
The golden cherry is indeed very troublesome.
She rubbed about a pound of golden cherries for about 10 to 20 minutes, then shook them off and washed them clean.
This is not over yet!
I went to the kitchen to borrow a knife and eucalyptus wood, and cut them in half one by one - then I took a spoon (because I didn't have such a small spoon) and dug out the tiny seeds inside bit by bit.
Finally, wash them again and put them on white gauze to dry one by one.
By the time everything is done, it's even time for dinner at home.
Song Tan looked at her with some suspicion. She suspected that Dr. Guo worked so meticulously just to linger and stay at her house for another meal.
But Dr. Guo held the bowl in the sun, his face remained calm, as if he really thought that 200 yuan could last a lifetime...
Fortunately, the extremely enthusiastic secretary Xiao Zhu drank two bowls of rice wine and egg drop soup at the dinner table, and then solemnly announced -
They have a new doctor in Yunqiao Village!
"Don't worry!" Secretary Xiao Zhu was very resourceful: "I'll frame all your certificates and hang them on the wall for you later!"
"Also, by the wall, contact your former customers and put up two banners!"
"And if your family members dare to come over and cause trouble - don't worry, the whole village will support you!"
Guo Dong: … although but.
Her specialty is strengthening virility and nourishing the kidneys, and now her wealthiest clients are also from this group...
cough.
This silk banner... would the client be willing to sacrifice her dignity to present it? Or if it says something like "Revitalize the Glory"... would she put it up or not
Seeing that she looked embarrassed, Secretary Xiao Zhu also asked considerately.
Guo Dong then carefully chose his words and whispered his major.
Song Tan, who is sharp-eyed and sharp-eared: …
I thought he just had unique skills, but I didn't expect he was a specialist in this field.
Secretary Xiaozhu: …
Ah this.
this…
She was numb too.
Then he turned his head and said, "Who are you going to ask to test the medicinal properties of this golden cherry? The Song family is full of bachelors. It would be too unfair for them to test the medicine on you."
“Who said that?!”
Wu Lei was eating like crazy, and he subconsciously retorted: "I have a girlfriend!"
Although his Lili has become increasingly busy recently, the love between them is true and will not be affected by time and distance!
Secretary Xiao Zhu looked at him for a while, then said disdainfully: "Forget it! Long-distance relationship, you still need labor reform... Sooner or later, the quantum state will collapse to the side of being single."
Guo Dong didn't think this was a problem: "It's okay. Generally, you can tell whether a herb is good or not by looking at its appearance. I'll tell my customers later that new herbs have been added and let them experience the effects... Don't worry, they will agree."
Just... my ancestral prescription combined with the current medicinal materials is not suitable at the beginning. It all depends on taking the pulse and asking questions to consider adding and subtracting, and then I can decide on the most suitable monarch, minister and left envoy.
Our long-term customers have a very high level of trust in us, so we are not short of people!
But the problems Guo Dong will face next will obviously be very painful.
She looked at Wulan eagerly: "Auntie, I'm a doctor in the village. Can't we provide meals here? I can pay for it."
"oops… "
Wulan was also in a dilemma: "You see, the workload of cooking in our family is really heavy, and we always ask the child's uncle to help with the cooking... It's not a question of money..."
She looked at the older people at the table, who looked like they were reluctant to leave. "How about this, if you really want to eat our meals, you can come buy fresh vegetables every day. If there are any, we will sell them to you first! Just pay the market price."
"But Doctor Guo... our price is not very reasonable in the village. Please keep it a secret for now."
Although it may not be possible to keep the secret for a long time, at least after the peaches are sold and there is a lot of money on hand, you can speak more confidently.
Guo Dong grew up in the village, so he naturally knew that some people's conjunctivitis was very scary and did not care about the consequences.
She hesitated and was pleasantly surprised to accept Wulan's "exception" to sell vegetables, but when she sat down and thought about it carefully -
Something seems to be wrong...
But she didn't have time to think about it for long, because Wu Lan asked quickly and considerately: "Do you have anything to do this afternoon? If not, can I ask a few people to go to the clinic to help you clean up?"
"By the way, you can also look for some furniture and appliances to buy - if you buy online, try to choose Fengfeng Express. Xiao Zhang from our street can drive it directly to you."
Guo Dong instantly put his doubts behind him and said sincerely: "Thank you, Auntie!"
