Chapter 51: Damn, I Really Have Prospects Now

The doctor at the medical clinic took the prescription, and the first thing that caught his eye was the elegant and beautiful handwriting on the prescription.

It was clear from the handwriting that it was written by a woman. The woman who wrote this prescription must be no simple person.

The doctor glanced at the prescription, and the next second, his eyes widened in surprise as he eagerly asked, “Who wrote this prescription? Young Master, could you introduce me to them?”

Wu Yinghai was stunned. “Doctor, is there something wrong with the prescription?”

The doctor excitedly responded, “There’s nothing wrong with it—it’s not only flawless, but the combination of herbs is also quite ingenious. It will definitely be effective for your condition. Whoever gave you this prescription must be exceptional!”

“Young Master, could you help me introduce this miraculous doctor? I’ll prepare the medicine for you free of charge.”

“Ah?” Wu Yinghai was shocked. “The person who gave me the prescription is a little girl, just over ten years old.”

Now it was the doctor’s turn to be stunned. “What? A little girl, just over ten years old? Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

“This prescription—without decades of medical experience, it could never have been written.”

“Or could this girl’s teacher be a transcendent master?”

“That doesn’t make sense, though. If she wrote the prescription and took the pulse herself, no matter how amazing her teacher is, there’s no way she could have achieved such skill in just a few years.”

“How did she manage to do it?”

Wu Yinghai couldn’t help but ask, “Doctor, are you saying that the person who gave me the prescription is extremely skilled in medicine?”

“That’s right! Far more skilled than an old man like me. She’s practically a divine doctor!”

Upon hearing this, Wu Yinghai snatched the prescription from the doctor’s hands and rushed toward Fumanlou.

The doctor was frozen for a moment, then chased after him, shouting, “Young Master, where are you going?”

However, Wu Yinghai paid him no mind, running quickly, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

When he finally arrived, panting, at Fumanlou, Hu Zhaodi was in the kitchen teaching the head chef how to make a new dish.

Han Dongsheng, who had been watching from the kitchen door, was startled by Wu Yinghai’s sudden arrival.

“Big Brother Wu, what’s going on? Are you being chased by an assassin?”

Wu Yinghai shook his head, panting for a while before pointing at Hu Zhaodi. “No, I came to find Zhaodi. I was worried if I ran too slowly, she’d leave.”

“What do you need her for? I warn you, don’t ask her for the price difference between horses and carriages. If it’s too much, I’ll cover the difference for you.”

“Little Brother, what do you take me for? I came to give her silver and thank her.”

Han Dongsheng looked puzzled. “What do you mean? Giving silver? Did you miscalculate the bill?”

“Yes, yes, the bill was wrong. I came to return the silver to Zhaodi.”

“Well, you’ll have to wait. Zhaodi is busy right now!”

Wu Yinghai peeked into the kitchen and his eyes widened like copper bells. “Little Brother, that’s not right! How can you let Zhaodi be in the kitchen? Those hands of hers shouldn’t be doing such rough work!”

Han Dongsheng was stunned. “What do you mean? Zhaodi is teaching our head chef to make new dishes, how is that rough work?”

“Those hands of Zhaodi’s are for healing and saving lives. How can a divine doctor be cooking in the kitchen?”

Han Dongsheng blinked in surprise. “What, what? A divine doctor? Big Brother Wu, did I hear that right?”

Wu Yinghai’s face became serious. “Little Brother, you didn’t hear wrong. Zhaodi is a divine doctor. We’re incredibly fortunate to know such a capable person.”

“You have no idea, just after you two left, I went to Lin Andang. The doctor there took my pulse and said he wasn’t sure if he could treat it.”

“But when he saw the prescription Zhaodi wrote, he begged me to introduce her to him.”

“He said Zhaodi is truly a divine doctor, her skills far surpass his!”

Han Dongsheng stood there in a daze for a long time before he finally came to his senses.

“Oh my God! I casually made a sister, and she’s so capable. I’m really getting somewhere in life!”

“Yeah, you’re really making progress. We need to maintain a good relationship with Zhaodi from now on. With her around, we’ll be able to live many more years!”

“We definitely need to maintain it.”

After speaking, Han Dongsheng quickly turned and hurried off.

“Little brother, where are you going?”

“Don’t worry about it, just make sure you keep Zhaodi here. I’ll be right back.”

Before Wu Yinghai could even finish speaking, Han Dongsheng had already disappeared from view.

After Hu Zhaodi finished teaching the two new dishes, the head chef took a bite and couldn’t stop praising her. “Miss Hu, your skills—I don’t even know what words to use to describe them, this is simply delicious!”

Hu Zhaodi smiled and asked, “Did you learn it?”

“Of course, of course! Miss Hu, go take a break. I’ll prepare a few more good dishes for you right now.”

Hu Zhaodi nodded with a smile and turned to leave the kitchen.

But just as she turned around, she saw Wu Yinghai standing there, his face full of admiration.

She couldn’t figure out what he was so impressed by.

“Big Brother Wu, what brings you here?” Hu Zhaodi asked.

Wu Yinghai gave her a warm smile. “Zhaodi, I came here specifically to find you.”

“Oh? What’s the matter?”

Wu Yinghai pulled out a one-hundred-tael silver note from his pocket and handed it to Hu Zhaodi. “Zhaodi, I forgot to pay you for the consultation.”

Hu Zhaodi was taken aback. “Big Brother Wu, you sold me the horses and carriages at a loss. Why are you giving me silver now?”

Wu Yinghai’s face grew serious. “Zhaodi, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have even known about my condition. You’re my great benefactor!”

“My life is worth far more than just a couple hundred taels of silver. You have to accept this silver note today, because in the future, I’ll still need you to cure me.”

Hu Zhaodi shook her head and smiled. “Big Brother Wu, you really don’t have to do this. Actually, the consultation fee is already covered by the horses and carriages, and it’s more than enough. Please take back the silver.”

Wu Yinghai forcefully pushed the one-hundred-tael note into her hand.

Hu Zhaodi was about to refuse when Wu Yinghai’s face turned serious again. “Zhaodi, are you looking down on me as your brother?”

“Big Brother Wu, why would I say that? If I didn’t look up to you, why would I keep calling you ‘Big Brother Wu’?”

“Then since you look up to me, just accept the silver. I was in a hurry when I left today and didn’t bring anything proper as a gift, so this is just a little token. I’ll make it up to you later.”

Hu Zhaodi was left in a daze. What was this all about? Why was he giving her silver for no reason?

Just because she took his pulse and wrote a prescription?

That seemed a bit much, didn’t it?

What Hu Zhaodi didn’t know was that in this era, if someone had alcoholic liver disease, it was equivalent to having a terminal illness that wasn’t immediately fatal but could lead to death eventually.

Even if the alcoholic liver disease was mild, it was very hard to treat, let alone when it had progressed to a more severe stage, as Wu Yinghai’s had.

If he continued to drink, his condition would only worsen, and even Hu Zhaodi wouldn’t be confident in curing him completely.

With a serious expression, Hu Zhaodi said, “Big Brother Wu, I really can’t accept this silver. Your condition isn’t too serious yet. As long as you follow the medical advice, take your medicine regularly, and avoid alcohol, you’ll be cured soon. Please take the silver back.”

Wu Yinghai was anxious. “Sister, if you truly consider me your brother, you’ll accept the silver.”
