The Miracle Doctor's Two-Faced Toddler

Chapter 103: An Astronomical Consultation Fee

Old Cui heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that Yu Wan wanted to collect the consultation fee. It was obvious that the “friend” he mentioned was not someone who lived frugally.

The man sneered in disdain. His voice was extremely soft, but it was enough for Yu Wan to hear.

Yu Wan did not mind him treating her as a greedy commoner. After all, it was his business how he saw her. The money was her business.

Yu Wan turned to look at Yu Feng. “Big Brother, you guys go first. I’ll come later.”

Yu Feng shook his head. “No need. Just stay at home. Shuanzi and I are enough.”

Shuanzi puffed out his chest and stuffed his mouth full of milky steamed bun. He said in a muffled voice, “Ah Wan, don’t worry! Little Feng and I will definitely buy the beans back!”

Yu Wan smiled and nodded. “Thank you.”

“No problem!” Shuanzi stuffed the last mouthful of steamed bun into his mouth.

Yu Wan handed the food bag containing the steamed buns to the two of them. “Eat on the way.”

Shuanzi glanced at Yu Feng and accepted it in embarrassment.

“Follow me.” These words were directed at Old Cui and the man.

The two of them followed Yu Wan.

Yu Wan walked towards her house. Along the way, she wondered if she should get a separate pharmacy.

......

Madam Jiang, Little Bruiser, and Zhenzhen went to the old residence for dinner. The house was empty. Although it was shabby and simple, every corner was clean.

Yu Wan pointed at the table in the central room. “Put the cage on it.”

The man paused and let go.

Yu Wan lifted the black cloth outside the box and realized that there was a snow-white cat locked inside. It was not big, and its left eye was green, while its right eye was blue. At a glance, it looked like the Persian cat she had seen in her previous life, but it did not have the long fur of a Persian cat.

Yu Wan actually could not recognize the breed of this cat. However, this did not affect Yu Wan’s treatment.

Yu Wan opened the cage and reached out to hug the chubby little white ball. The man beside her stared at her hand. His thin lips opened slightly as if he wanted to remind her, but in the end, he didn’t say a word.

Yu Wan carried the little fat ball out.

“Meow ~” The little fat ball lay in the crook of Yu Wan’s arm and rubbed against Yu Wan’s small chest, letting out a meow of enjoyment.

Old Cui did not know this cat and did not know that it would not get close to anyone other than its master. Therefore, he did not think that it was abnormal for it to be so docile in Yu Wan’s hands.

However, a trace of surprise flashed across the man’s eyes. But that was all. Even the imperial physicians were helpless against this cat. It would be strange if a country bumpkin had a way.

This little fat ball didn’t look big, but it was quite heavy. Yu Wan was sweating after she finished checking.

“How is it? Did you see anything wrong?” Old Cui asked anxiously.

Yu Wan stroked the little fat ball and said, “There are many problems. The consultation fee will double if I really treat them.”

The corners of Old Cui’s mouth twitched.?When you treated Shuanzi’s cow, you didn’t even receive a single copper coin. But now you’re raising the price on the spot. Isn’t that too unkind?

The man took out a silver ingot and placed it coldly on the table. “If it’s cured, it’s yours. If it’s not…”

The man did not finish his sentence, but Old Cui shivered.

Yu Wan took in Old Cui’s strange expression and thought to herself,?“Where did this man come from? How did he know Old Cui? Why is he so troublesome?”

So it seems that she could either treat it or die judging from the man’s attitude. Then he could not blame her for asking for too much!

“Are you sending a beggar away? You want to invite me, a divine doctor, to treat it with this bit of money?”

A Divine Veterinarian.?Yu Wan added in her heart.

Yu Wan heard the sound of fists cracking.

Crackle!

The man took out two more gold ingots.

This was the largest amount of money Yu Wan had seen in ancient times. One gold ingot equals to five taels which means it added up to ten taels.

Ten taels of gold…

It was enough to treat her uncle’s leg and the expenditure of her future workshop.

“What’s wrong with it, Miss Yu?” Old Cui was most concerned about the cat’s condition.

Yu Wan said, “It has pneumonia and eczema.”

It coughed, heated up, and its breathing was unstable. Old Cui could guess the possibility of pneumonia, but as for eczema…

Old Cui stroked his beard. “How could Miss Yu tell?”

Yu Wan flipped open the cat’s fur on its lower limbs and back and said, “Look, here, here, and here, the cat’s fur is seriously shed. There are granule-shaped rashes on its skin. its skin has thickened after being scratched and bitten. Now, it has begun to form a scab. This is a typical sign of allergic eczema.”

Old Cui was enlightened.

“Is there any cure?” He asked.

Yu Wan nodded. “Nineteen grams of Cnidium, thirty eight grams of Sophora flavescens, nine and a half grams of peppercorns, nine and a half grams of alum. Boil the herbs in the water to get the paste. Apply the paste to the wound in the morning and evening.”

“What about pneumonia?” Old Cui asked.

Yu Wan rubbed the little fat ball in the crook of her arm and said, “This isn’t difficult either. Three grams of the root of Manyflower Glorybower, one and a half grams of Lipidium seed, Licorice, Bellflower and Fritillaria. Boil the herbs in the water to get the paste, add sixty two and a half grams of honey, and mix it evenly. Once a day. It will be effective in three to five days.”

Old Cui pondered for a while and punched his palm. “Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!”

The man finally looked straight at the village girl after Old Cui praised her. It didn’t matter if he didn’t look, but when he did, it made the man tense up.

“It’s you?” The man blurted it out.

Yu Wan blinked and looked at the man wearing a bamboo hat and veil. “You know me?”

The man didn’t answer her. Instead, he looked down at her flat stomach and frowned. “Where’s your child?”
