Chapter 5: Will treat or not?
Old Lady Bai was embarra.s.sed . “But, I don’t really have a money right now . I can’t afford to buy your ginseng . Can’t you use other medicine?”
Doctor Lu think for a moment, then said: “Although the effect of the ladybell root is less effective than ginseng . It is much stronger than any normal tonic . The price is also much cheaper . ”
Old Lady Bai was overjoyed after hearing this: “Then, use that ladybell root . ”
Doctor Lu took out a brush and paper from his medicine chest and quickly wrote a prescription, for the old lady to read: “This is the prescription for Zhao Lan . You look if there is no problem, then I’ll go and take the medicine . ”
Both the old lady and Mrs . Liu were illiterate . So, seeing the prescription, they felt like reading the book of heaven . There was no single word they could understand .
Mrs . Liu smiled and handed the prescription back to Doctor Lu: “Lu dafu, we can’t read it . Just tell us how much money we have to pay . ”
Doctor Lu took the prescription and knitted his eyebrow, then he reluctantly looked at the old lady: “The consultation fee is 1 silver, the medicine is 3 silvers . A total of 4 silver coins . If you are really on a tight budget, you can owe the consultation fee, but the medicine fee must be given first . ”
