Everyone was livelier and willing to go out to the streets.

Business in Ye Lulu’s shop had been booming the past few days. They almost didn’t stop. There were customers everywhere and they earned a lot of money every day.

At this moment, good news spread in Yuan City.

In order to prevent all kinds of illnesses during the summer, children who went to seek consultation today would be given a dose of medicinal soup. The medicinal soup would clear one’s body heat and strengthen the body. It was very good for the human body.

The medicinal herbs were common, but only doctors knew how to concoct them.

Therefore, this was a huge bargain.

It was said that the Kind Doctor had taken out all the money he earned in a month to buy a large batch of these ordinary medicinal herbs. After the government heard of the Kind Doctor’s plan, County Magistrate Lin was benevolent and donated money to buy medicinal herbs. He did not need the Kind Doctor to give up his monthly salary.

When this happened, the commoners in Yuan City rushed to spread the news and were extremely happy. They said that Kind Doctors were extremely benevolent and cared for the commoners.

At that moment, Kind Doctors had the highest reputation in Yuan City. Even the officials and county magistrates could not compare to Kind Doctors’ reverence in the eyes of the citizens of Yuan City.

Due to this medicinal soup, more commoners rushed over when they heard the news. Parents who were too lazy to bring their children—be it those who were seriously ill or only coughed twice—to see a doctor, immediately brought them over to see the Kind Doctor.

The queue on the main street was longer. Furthermore, the flow of people didn’t stop. The people in Yuan City were all gathered here. No matter how long the queue was, they would not feel tired.

As the queue was long, there were people chatting and laughing. The scene looked extremely lively.

As expected, every family who went to look for the Kind Doctor carried an additional set of medicinal herbs with them when they left. Those medicinal herbs could be used to strengthen the body.

Logically speaking, the medicinal soup should only have been given to sick children. There was only one serving of it. At most, two bowls could be obtained. It should be for the children to drink as they were weak.

However, when this medicinal soup was brought out, it depended on the adults themselves to decide if they wanted to drink the medicinal soup themselves.

After the Kind Doctor finished treating another commoner in Yuan City and gave him the herbs, he smiled calmly. This faint smile coupled with his fair face made him look gentler and more approachable. However, his eyes were as dark as the night.

In a day, countless portions of the medicinal soup were given out by the Kind Doctor.

Even Ye Lulu and the rest, who did business in Linhe Zhai Xing Lou, vaguely heard the news.

Or rather, there were many people discussing in the restaurant. The limelight today belonged to the Kind Doctor. They had seen that bag of medicinal soup.

However, because the Guan family did not have children who needed to see the Kind Doctor—or even if a child was sick, their family could afford to go to the medical center—they naturally would not fight with other children from poor farmer families to see the Kind Doctor.

Therefore, they only glanced curiously at the medicinal soup distributed by the Kind Doctor when they were serving or clearing the dishes.
