"Is the medicine at the Medicine Shop enough?" Xia Dabao asked again.
"It's decent. I've been picking up batches from the town recently, and I usually spend half a day collecting herbs in the mountains. Look, the herbs drying at the doorway are all from there," Tian Xiaobei said. "Plus, during the planting season, people come in for snake bites and such, so I need to study methods for treating snake bites. I used to look at the 'Inner Canon' a lot."
Xia Dabao, perhaps due to frequently exercising in the mountains, noticed that Tian Xiaobei looked a bit more sun-tanned and healthier.
While sitting in front of the house, Xia Dabao watched Tian Xiaobei drying the herbs, and couldn't help laughing, "You, you're really starting to look like a real doctor."
"Really?" Tian Xiaobei said joyfully. "Do you like how I look now?"
"Of course, you look much more confident now. By the way, have Auntie Zhao and Zhao Datu caused you any trouble?" Xia Dabao asked.
