“Are these excellent fruits given away for free?” the man asked.

“Well, it’s not exactly for free. Didn’t I say? For a consultation fee of 20 RMB, each patient will receive a catty of waxberries and a catty of lemons.”

Wasn’t this equivalent to buying such good lemons and waxberries for 20 RMB?

“Come, come, let me have a look!” Immediately, someone couldn’t wait to come forward and receive treatment from Bai Jiang.

“Please have a seat and extend your hand,” Bai Jiang said.

The man sat down across from Bai Jiang and placed his hand on the pulse table.

Bai Jiang took his pulse and quickly deduced his condition. “Stick out your tongue so I can take a look.”

The man did as Bai Jiang was told.

Bai Jiang quickly concluded and wrote down the prescription.

“You don’t have any major illness. You just have excessive internal heat, which causes frequent inflammations. I noticed a few ulcers under your tongue. They seem to have been there for a while. Have you used sprays like watermelon frost? They initially worked, but the healing process slowed down over time, right?”

The man’s eyes widened. He had only sat down to let Bai Jiang treat him because of the two catties of fruits, but he didn’t expect Bai Jiang to determine his condition just by feeling his pulse and examining his tongue.

“Yes, this problem has been bothering me for a long time. I even thought I had some serious illness and went to a major hospital for tests. But the hospital said it was just internal heat. They checked my blood as well, and there were no major issues.”

“They prescribed some anti-inflammatory medicine and sprays. They worked initially, but the ulcers kept recurring. I’ve been troubled by it,” the man said.

Bai Jiang nodded and handed the written prescription to the man.

“I’ve written the prescription. You can take it to any Chinese medicine pharmacy to get the medication. Please wait a moment while I pack the fruits,” Bai Jiang said, packing the fruits as she spoke.

“Alright!” The man took the prescription. “May I ask where your pharmacy is? I’ll go there to get the medicine.”

Bai Jiang was taken aback. “I don’t have a pharmacy. The medications listed on the prescription are quite common. You can buy them at any Chinese medicine pharmacy.”

“Oh?” The man was surprised. Normally, Chinese medicine practitioners would have their pharmacy and set up a clinic there.

Why was this girl in front of him different from other Chinese medicine practitioners?

“Miss, why don’t you open a pharmacy?” The man asked in confusion.

“Perhaps I will in the future, but currently, I don’t have the capital,” Bai Jiang honestly replied.

Although the man was confused, he left with the fruits and the prescription.

When the people around saw that the person’s illness was pointed out by Bai Jiang one by one and even gave a prescription, the most important thing was that this doctor-like girl did not open a pharmacy herself. This intrigued them.

Getting treated for an illness or simply receiving two catties of fruits seemed like a good deal.

Just then, a woman wearing sunglasses and a mask sat in front of Bai Jiang and extended her hand. “Young girl, please take a look at me.”

Bai Jiang didn’t refuse and took the woman’s pulse, then asked if she could examine her tongue.

She had nothing to be embarrassed about. Now that wearing a mask had become mainstream, and there was no longer such a serious epidemic around her, it was fine for her to take off her mask.

At the thought of this, the woman took off her mask and sunglasses and stuck out her tongue.

Bai Jiang examined it and wrote down a prescription. She quietly asked the woman, “Do you have any cleansing products at home?”

Initially, the woman was puzzled, but she quickly understood what Bai Jiang meant by following her gaze.

“Yes, I do. I’ve tried many different kinds, but none of them suit me. I’m still troubled by it,” the woman replied.

It turned out the woman had gynecological inflammation, a common and ordinary condition for many women. However, some cases could be more troublesome. The current approach was to alleviate the symptoms, but it didn’t provide a cure.

The woman in front of her was getting old. In the past, she did not take this problem seriously. However, as she grew older, the smell became stronger and stronger, making her quite distressed.

“Don’t use those products for now,” Bai Jiang said.

The woman shook her head in disagreement. “That won’t do. I’ve tried not using them, but the consequences are even more severe.”

Bai Jiang patiently explained to the woman, “Madam, your condition isn’t particularly severe. The cleansing products you usually use, although composed of Chinese medicine ingredients, contain some hormones. Initially, they have a good effect at first.”
