《Farmer's Pampered Wife: Farming Crops To Raise A Bun》Chapter 39: Treating Illness
Advertisement
What a joke! This thing has helped a lot of people in the modern world. Every household would basically make this soup regularly to recuperate, not to mention that illnesses in the modern world were much more serious than here.
This era hadn't been contaminated yet, so wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort if this thing was placed here?
At this time, someone asked: "Is this thing really useful? Why haven't everyone heard of it before? What is this made of?"
Lin Xiaoye smiled: "This is the exclusive secret recipe taken out from the bottom of our Good Harmony Hall's treasure box and only our own people know about it. Of course, you all just haven't come across this thing. However, the weather is too cold recently and it's hard to sleep well at night, and even your skin will become quite dry."
When they heard this, many people in the crowd began to get restless, especially those women, who paid the most attention to their looks. When they heard Lin Xiaoye say that, they immediately touched their faces.
"No wonder I always felt my face was too dry two days ago and I couldn't even put on my rouge. Could it be that something was wrong with my body?"
Lin Xiaoye smiled and said, "Does Miss have been feeling upset recently and was easily awakened halfway through the night? Furthermore, does your throat also feel dry in the middle of the night, but no matter how much water you drink during the day, your skin still feels dry?"
Hearing this, the girl was immediately surprised. "How did you know?"
Lin Xiaoye picked up the soup decoction for nourishing beauty: "If Miss trusts me, you can try this first and your symptoms will naturally be cured."
The girl looked at the woman beside her doubtfully, then at Lin Xiaoye. She swallowed her saliva when she saw the soup decoction, but she was still a bit worried.
"This thing isn't poisonous, right?"
Lin Xiaoye said, "Could it be possible that all of us in Good Harmony Hall are fools and want to poison this Miss in front of so many people?"

After hearing what Lin Xiaoye said, the girl could only muster up her courage. She took the bowl and stirred it with a spoon. Immediately, a fragrant smell wafted into her nose.
"How fragrant!" The girl subconsciously said.
The surrounding people immediately widened their eyes and leaned in closer. They watched in anticipation as the girl drank the decoction.
The girl took a sip and immediately closed her eyes. After circling it in her mouth for a while, just as she was hesitating whether she should swallow or not, she was attracted by the fragrance of the soup and couldn't help but swallow it.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked at the soup in her hand. She couldn't help but take another sip and just as she was about to drink another, she remembered that there were still many people looking at her and she immediately blushed.
After passing the bowl back, she opened her mouth and said, "This soup is indeed very delicious."
In fact, she doesn't even need to say this because everyone had already guessed it when they saw how she looked just now.
For a moment, everyone wanted to have a taste, but the girl spoke again, "Since you said this is a decoction, why can't I taste the slightest bit of medicine in it?"
"That's true, didn't you just casually make some soup to trick everyone into saying that it was a decoction?" one of the men asked.
Lin Xiaoye said, "The ancients said: There are three realms of medicine; the first is to diagnose the disease, the middle is the desire to treat the disease and the last is curing the disease."
After saying that, she looked at the girl and asked, "Miss, do you think you are sick now?"
The girl shook her hand. "You're the one who's sick. Don't curse me like that."
However, after saying that, she immediately regretted it. She hurriedly looked at Lin Xiaoye: "You mean…"
Lin Xiaoye smiled: "Could it be that Miss still wanted to wait until you fall ill before you come to a herbal medicine shop to buy some bitter medicine?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard that and they all applauded loudly.
"What this lady said is right, I don't want to drink that bitter medicine. How much is this soup decoction? Give me a bowl." One of the men said.
Hearing that, Shun Zi was immediately happy and quickly said: "Ten copper coins for a bowl."
Everyone was stunned. "Such a good thing only sells for ten copper coins for a bowl?"
Lin Xiaoye smiled, "Good Harmony Hall has always advocated benevolence and easiness, but for the benefit of the villagers and elderlies, we will only charge them a small fee. Furthermore, we will create different soup decoctions for everyone according to different seasons and time, so if everyone wants to be free from illness, you all have to come and drink a bowl every day."
"So, there's actually different kinds of soup decoctions. It sounds like it's all the same thing. Fine, in any case, ten copper coins isn't expensive, so I'll give it a try first. If it's useful, then I'll definitely come everyday." The man said.
When one person said this, the others quickly followed suit. In an instant, their business was flourishing, as Lin Xiaoye, Boss Zhang and Zhang Yusheng were extremely busy.
Seeing that they had gotten to a good start, Lin Xiaoye couldn't stay any longer. She waited for the crowd to leave before bidding farewell to Boss Zhang and prepared to leave.
Upon seeing this, Boss Zhang hurriedly pulled Lin Xiaoye to the side and immediately took out one hundred silver taels.
"You've worked hard today. It's been almost an entire morning, but our business has never stopped. Take this money and treat it as your advance share money. It looks like we've earned quite a bit today."
Boss Zhang was also grinning from ear to ear.
Lin Xiaoye didn't refuse. Coincidentally, she still had to buy some things, so having a bit more money is good as well.
"Alright, then I'll be troubling Boss Zhang. I'll be leaving first."
After she finished speaking, Lin Xiaoye was ready to leave after packing the money. At this moment, Zhang Yusheng walked up and shouted: "You're leaving just like that?"
Lin Xiaoye was taken aback: "En, I'm going back to cook for my son. I probably don't need to look after the business here anymore, you and your father can settle it. I'll be leaving first."
"You, then you…" Zhang Yusheng immediately said, but when the words reached his mouth, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
Lin Xiaoye looked at him in confusion.
"If there's nothing else, I'll come back tomorrow."
After hearing her words, Zhang Yusheng heaved a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
"It's a deal. Then be careful on your way."
"Alright!" Lin Xiaoye left after speaking.
However, she didn't know that when she left, Zhang Yusheng had been looking at her from afar. It was only when she had disappeared from his line of sight that he finally turned his head around with reluctance.
Only then did he felt that this girl, Lin Xiaoye, was truly different from the rest.
After leaving the Good Harmony Hall, Lin Xiaoye went to a tailor's shop.
The last time she had stood outside the door and looked at the fabrics in the tailor's shop, she had endured it for a while. Now she could finally go and buy fabrics, which made her feel very happy.
The moment she entered the tailor shop, she went straight towards the sky-blue fabric that she saw earlier.
"Boss, how much is this fabric?"
With that, Lin Xiaoye looked up and saw a smiling uncle walking over from the counter.
"Oh, this Miss' eyesight is quite good. This fabric has been selling really well in my shop recently. Especially for a beautiful lady like you. You'll definitely look more beautiful wearing this."
