When the woman heard Natalie Dong's words, a trace of sadness appeared on her face.
Her name is Jiang Lily, and she is Chen Ryan’s wife. They have been married for more than two years and recently gave birth to a son.
But it was this matter that made the couple worried.
Because she had no breast milk after giving birth!
In this regard, the midwives do not recommend the use of Western medicine based on the technology and the impact on the baby.
Instead, they are recommended to seek treatment from traditional Chinese medicine.
The two had consulted some Chinese medicine practitioners, taken Chinese medicine, and tried some treatments in the big city where they lived.
But the effects are minimal!
However, they also understand that in today's society, there are very few truly capable Chinese medicine practitioners.
Therefore, he could only mobilize his own connections to look for a needle in a haystack and seek medical help everywhere.
Part of the reason for going to so much trouble is that Jiang Lily, as a mother, wants to feed her child herself.
Jiang Lily next to her also looked at her in shock.
"It seems that the old Chinese doctor is really capable. He can tell that you have been ill before." Natalie Dong nodded in agreement: "Since he can cure it, just follow the prescription he gave you and take the medicine."
Jiang Lily held the bowl and explained in a clear and gentle voice.
"You are stupid. He is just a simple-minded young man!" Natalie Dong still glared at him unhappily.
"Ahem!" Chen Yunming suddenly felt awkward and no longer cared about his manners: "Wife, most of the crucian carp on the market are engineered crucian carp."
"Then, use some to stew the chicken, and prepare some for stir-frying later!" Natalie Dong pointed to the pressure cooker and the chopped chicken mushrooms in the basket next to it.
Chen Yunming's face flushed, veins popped out on his forehead, and he argued: "I don't fish for the sake of catching fish... Fishing is a fisherman's business, and it can't be discussed."
"I also want to buy some and send it back to my parents to try."
In fact, if they only feed their children with breast milk, this is not difficult for them.
After these words were spoken, Chen Yunming fell silent, his eyes wandered around, and then he squatted aside and drank his soup quietly.
"The old man prescribed a Chinese medicine prescription and wrote a recipe for me to use with the diet therapy. He said that if I take it for half a month, I should see initial results."
"Wife, you don't understand this!" Chen Yunming took a sip of the soup happily. As a veteran fisherman, he felt that his chance to show off had come!
"Do I need you to tell me if I understand? Hurry up. If you keep dawdling, you'll sleep in the study tonight!" Natalie Dong saw that he acted like everyone else was drunk but he was the only one sober, so she glared at him unhappily.
"He said that because of the serious illness I had before, my energy had not recovered, and there were other reasons, which led to my lack of breast milk."
"Also, I told him that the price he set was a bit low, so I gave him a chance to re-price it."
Otherwise, you will definitely miss this delicious taste!
"As for the price, it's 150 yuan per catty, almost 4 catties, and I gave it 600!" Natalie Dong has now tasted the flavor and feels that Linzhou has lost money and he has made a fortune.
In addition, she also discovered that the other party's family background was probably not good, so his knowledge was limited.
What followed were some difficult to understand words, like "A fisherman is not judged by the number of fish he catches" and "When fishing, you bring back crabs and loaches".
"Besides, I can see that he is short of money!"
"By the way, are there any hard-to-find herbs in the prescription he gave?"
"Aunt, you only spent six hundred for this level of wild black-skinned chicken mushroom?" Chen Ryan couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard the price.
"Wife, how much did you spend on it?" Chen Yunming also asked.
So the two of them quickly took a plane and came to this small county town to seek medical treatment.
To be honest, she herself had never expected that the chicken mushroom would be so fragrant and fresh!
"Aunt, where did you buy these chicken mushrooms? The soup made from them is so fragrant and delicious!"
Now, in her heart, she was glad that she had asked the question at that time.
She had already drunk three small bowls, plus some of the mycelium she ate, which was far more than her usual amount of food.
"The other party gave it to me? This kind of fungus costs one hundred and fifty yuan per pound. Is he an idiot? He's so cute!" Seeing his wife's unfriendly eyes, Chen Ryan immediately changed his words and turned attack into praise.
"But he still insisted on selling it at 150 yuan!"
"What ingredients? Is it related to the ban?" Natalie Dong became concerned when he heard it.
But more importantly, her family members are worried about her health.
She knew that this was Linzhou's first time selling vegetables and he had little knowledge of the wild mushroom market.
But now, she felt that she could still eat and still wanted to eat!
"I bought them at a street market. The other person only had one bag, so I bought all of it."
After saying that, Chen Yunming raised his eyebrows at Natalie Dong with a proud expression, as if he was showing off, "Look, I know so much."
Finally, it was Jiang Lily who spoke to break the silence.
"As for pure wild crucian carp, due to its own special reasons, it grows slowly and generally weighs around 30-40 grams. Anything over 50 grams is considered large."
"That's not it, it's crucian carp!"
"I didn't kill him, the other party offered a price!" Natalie Dong rolled his eyes at him.
"No, they are just some common Chinese medicine!" Jiang Lily shook her head, then frowned slightly: "But there is an ingredient in the recipe that may be a little troublesome."
"Yes, auntie, none of the chicken mushrooms I ate before were as fresh as this one!" Chen Ryan looked over with bright eyes.
"Also, I used to take a lot of Chinese medicine, so the effect of taking medicine may not be very ideal. The effect of food therapy will be better!"
Now Natalie Dong and his friends heard from others that there was an old Chinese doctor in the neighboring city who was very good.
"So, there are wild crucian carps weighing more than one kilogram, but it's not easy to find them."
"Wife, you're really good at bargaining. It's right to hand over the financial power of our family to you." Chen Yunming gave her a thumbs up.
When Jiang Lily and Chen Ryan saw this scene, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and they were very hard to hold it back.
"Why? I see that those crucian carps sold outside are also quite big. Could it be that these wild crucian carps are not that big?" Natalie Dong obviously didn't understand the ins and outs of this.
Seeing that three pairs of eyes in the room were staring at him, Natalie Dong rubbed his forehead.
"But what the old gentleman said was that it is best to use pure wild crucian carp, and the weight should be more than one kilogram. If it is less than one kilogram, the effect will be much worse." Jiang Lily explained.
Hearing this, Chen Yunming, who had been enjoying the soup, suddenly said, "Wild crucian carp weighing more than one pound is indeed a bit troublesome."
"Tsk!" Natalie Dong gave him a look that showed her understanding: "If you have the ability, go catch a wild crucian carp weighing more than one pound, I will respect you."
Seeing this, Natalie Dong's mouth twitched: "What's the use of knowing so much? In all these years, I haven't seen you catch a single fish and bring it home!"
"So, do you think this young man is stupid?" Natalie Dong had a good impression of this young man from Linzhou.
After all, because of the chicken mushroom, she still owed the other party a favor.
Chen Yunming naturally saw this, and the other party's behavior was not stupid, so he decisively admitted his mistake to his wife: "Not stupid, not stupid, I am stupid."
"Wife, that young man you mentioned, does he sell fish?"
