When Uncle Gang heard this, he obediently stuck out his tongue and let Bai Jiang treat him.

Bai Jiang wrote a prescription and handed it to him. “Uncle Gang, you need to take this medicine for three days.”

Uncle Gang received the prescription and rushed excitedly to the town.

With these two patients leading the way, others began to feel restless as well.

However, Bai Jiang was determined to stick to her promise of treating only ten patients. She wouldn’t see anyone beyond that limit.

“Oh, why aren’t you helping anymore? Bai Jiang, could you please take a look at me? I’m also feeling quite unwell,” an elderly woman stopped Bai Jiang.

Bai Jiang glanced at the woman’s pale complexion, and bloodshot eyes, and noticed a few spider veins on her neck. She immediately recognized the illness the woman was suffering from.

“Aunt, besides providing free consultations at the village entrance, I have other important matters to attend to. You know my father’s health isn’t good. Although I brought him back that day, he’s still not in great condition. I need to spend some time taking care of him,” Bai Jiang explained.

“But…”

“Aunt, don’t worry. I will be at the village entrance for consultations at the same time tomorrow,” Bai Jiang assured her.

The space required treating 100 patients in half a month, and there were approximately that many elderly people in the village with minor ailments.

Ten patients per day. If she couldn’t reach 100 by the tenth day, she would set up a stall in the town.

Hearing Bai Jiang’s words, a smile finally appeared on the woman’s face.

“Really? Then I’ll come back tomorrow. Please make sure to see me first!” she said eagerly.

Bai Jiang nodded. “Alright, if anyone else needs assistance tomorrow, please come here on time. I’ll head back now. Thank you all.”

After packing up her belongings, Bai Jiang returned home to check Bai Shu’s pulse and administer acupuncture.

Once she put away the golden needles, Bai Jiang told Bai Shu, “Dad, I’m going to the mountain for a look.”

“What are you going to do on the mountain?” Bai Shu asked.

“Didn’t I mention that I wanted to manage the mountain? I’m going up there to investigate,” Bai Jiang replied with a smile.

“Mommy, I want to go up the mountain with you too,” Bai Zhen said as she pulled at Bai Jiang’s clothes.

“Sweetie, be a good girl. Can you help Mommy? Stay at home and play with grandpa and grandma. Mommy will go up the mountain and find you some delicious treats,” Bai Jiang crouched down and wiped the sweat off Bai Zhen’s forehead.

Bai Zhen pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Bai Jiang packed her tools and went up the mountain. She discovered some lemon trees with fruits on them.

She plucked the lemon and sniffed it.

Extremely acidic!

If it was a little bigger, it would be top-notch Chinese medicine.

She then looked at the ground nearby and found some waxberries.

However, these waxberries were relatively small, as if they lacked nutrients and couldn’t grow well.

Bai Jiang thought for a moment and took some Spirit Spring Water from her space. She poured it at the roots of the waxberry and lemon trees.

For the next ten days, after completing her medical consultations, Bai Jiang would rush up the mountain.

Under the nourishment of the Spirit Spring Water, the waxberries and lemons visibly grew at a rapid pace.

Soon, they finally ripened.

Bai Jiang picked some ripe fruits and brought them back home.

Xu Hua’s eyes widened at the sight of so many big waxberries and lemons.

“Where did you get these?” she asked.

“Mom, I picked them up from the mountain. I just tasted one of these waxberries, and they are so sweet. You should try them,” said Bai Jiang as she took out the waxberries from the basket and handed them to Xu Hua, Bai Shu, and Bai Zhen.

“Wow! Mommy, is this a waxberry? It’s so sweet! It’s the sweetest fruit I’ve ever eaten,” Bai Zhen exclaimed with a satisfied expression.

Although Xu Hua didn’t react as exaggeratedly as Bai Zhen, she couldn’t help but praise.

“I went to the mountain last year, and the waxberries there were small and black. They tasted unpleasant, neither sweet nor sour. How did you find such beautiful waxberries on the mountain?”

“And these lemons, almost all of them rot in the field. Not many people in the village eat them.”

Upon hearing Xu Hua’s remarks, Bai Jiang quickly explained the benefits of lemons.

“Summer is approaching, and you can squeeze the lemons to make lemon water. Add a little sugar, and you’ll have a refreshing and thirst-quenching lemonade that aids digestion.”

“Lemons are a treasure trove. They are rich in vitamin C, sugars, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins, and more. Moreover, the citric acid in lemons helps prevent and eliminate skin pigmentation, making it an excellent whitening agent for women.”

“If you drink it regularly, it can lighten your skin,” Bai Jiang said.
