The Resplendent Farming Apothecary

Chapter 105 – Robbed (2)

Gu Ye nodded and looking happier, “That’s better! Here’s two bottles of ‘Fast Acting Heart Saver Pills’. Take 3 pills 3 times a day. EaChapter bottle is the quantity for one month. I will bring more for you next time I come to town.”

Young Master Ding carefully took the pills from her and preciously put them away in his chest. He took out a bank note from his sleeve that was for 500 taels and, slightly embarrassed, he asked, “I left in a hurry today and didn’t bring too muChapter money with me. Will these be sufficient? If not, I will have someone go and...”

“No, it’s fine!” Gu Ye saw that Young Master Ding was an honest man and didn’t want to price gouge him too much. “I will take these for the cost of 10 bottles. From now on you can get them for 50 taels per bottle. The illness that you and your father have are chronic and will need medications long term. Don’t throw away money like that in the again, you must plan for the future!”

Hearing that, Young Master Ding’s nose wrinkled and was closed to tears: She was, indeed, a sacred doctor. She has a heart of gold and impeccably medical professionalism. Young Master Ding was short of honoring her like she was buddha!

“By the way! You and your father, do you normally want meat with every meal? And not like to exercise?” Gu Ye looked at his chubby body and felt tired just from looking at him.

Young Master Ding was stunned, “Are you a buddha? How do you know that? Truth be told, all the men in our family love meat, the fattier the better. I just had pig feet during lunChapter today!”

Gu Ye grimaced and shook her head, “Every day? Every meal? That was exactly why you developed this illness.”

“You mean to tell me that our illness was caused by having meat? The doctors had also told us to eat less meat, but nobody ever mentioned that having meat would cause heart disease.” Asked Young Master Ding, baffled.

“The plate that you used to hold the meat at home, was there always a layer of oil on them?”

Young Master Ding nodded forcefully. Even though he never needed to do dishes, he still have common sense.

“A human’s body was just like the plate that holds the meat. Having too muChapter meat would cause the fat to accumulate inside your body. When there are too muChapter fat in your blood stream, it will cause clotting. When your blood can’t flow freely and your heart wasn’t getting enough blood, that is the cause of your heart disease!” Gu Ye had tried her best to choose words that a person from the past could understand, but still ended up mixing in a lot of medical terminologies. Welp... regardless of whether he could understand everything that she said, she had tried her best!

Listening to her explanation, Young Master Ding looked more and more solemn. Then, looking like he had made the biggest decision, he nodded heavily, “I will stop eating meat! And also look after my father and not let him have any more meat!! I wouldn’t let these miracle drugs from Little Sacred Doctor go to waste!”

Gu Ye gave him an approving look, “Some illnesses, the medicine can only help you 30%, the other 70% depends on the patients themselves. And I am not asking you to cut out all meat, you can still have chicken, duck, and fish, just don’t eat the skin. Beef and lamb eat only the lean part. Have more vegetables regularly and exercise more! I’ve heard that the Ding’s have a lot of land in the country side. Go there often, walk, don’t take the horse-drawn carriage!”

Even though exercising and not eating fatty meat were painful to him, but he’d have to grit his teeth and do it for his own life. Young Master Ding followed the instructions given by the Little Sacred Doctor and followed them to the T. The next time Gu Ye came to town and ran into the muChapter skinner Young Master Ding, she almost wasn’t sure if she had the right person. Of course, these were stories for another day.

With the 600 more taels she had just earned, Gu Ye felt like she was now a little riChapter woman. Generously, she said to Gu Xiao, “C’mon, grandpa, let’s go shopping! Anything that you like, you tell me! I’ll buy them for you!!”
