Chapter 338 The reason for superstition

Zhang Lan rubbed his forehead, straightened his head and let out a big yawn.

It's been a long time since he read such an ancient book. In addition to online novels, he occasionally wants to read some classics, and he just reads them for a while and then does other things.

In the Internet age, there are so many things to do and temptations are everywhere. It is very difficult to calm down and read a famous ancient book seriously.

It was the same today. Looking at the digitally transcribed pictures and the vertically arranged traditional Chinese characters that read from right to left, I felt my head start to hurt at the first sight of Zhang Lan.

I yawned, listened to music, dazed, and went to the bathroom. I read for almost two hours. I didn’t even have an hour to really focus on reading.

Looking at the time, it was almost noon. Qin Yongjun had just sent a WeChat message on his phone. Zhang Lan stood up and walked outside to talk to Yu Lingling, then returned to the courtyard to prepare for dinner.

Back home, Qin Yongjun was serving food from the kitchen to the table outside.After seeing Zhang Lan enter the door, she smiled and said, "Hurry and wash your hands and eat. The rice is already simmering in the rice cooker."

Zhang Lan nodded, and after washing his hands, he took a bowl and started serving rice.

After wiping his hands and sitting at the dining table, Qin Yongjun picked up the rice bowl and said, "Try what I cook. This is what I learned from others."

Zhang Lan took a mouthful of rice and swallowed it, then gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's very well done, it tastes like home."

Qin Yongjun picked up a piece of potato and took a bite. He frowned and said, "It tastes a bit bland and has no taste at all."

Zhang Lan said quickly: "It's good like this. I like this kind of food with a lighter taste."

"Bland doesn't mean it's tasteless. How about I add some salt to this dish and cook it again." Qin Yongjun pointed to the fried chicken with potatoes on the table and said.

"No, this is good. No need to rework." Zhang Lan replied.

Qin Yongjun curled his lips and said, "Then you eat, I'll eat other dishes."

"You can eat chicken, this meat is okay."

"You can eat it, I don't eat chicken." Qin Yongjun replied.

Zhang Lan was stunned for a moment and asked: "Why don't you eat chicken again?"

"Aren't you preparing for pregnancy now? They say that eating chicken is not good and will kill the child." Qin Yongjun replied casually.

Zhang Lan asked dumbfounded: "Where did you hear such a superstitious statement? I've never heard of it."

"A lot of people have said it. When I was first pregnant, the mothers on both sides told me that eating chicken during pregnancy will cause fetal loss." Qin Yongjun answered seriously.

Zhang Lan said speechlessly: "That happened during pregnancy, what does it have to do with you now preparing for pregnancy."

"You need to pay more attention now and be prepared in advance so that you won't wait until you don't know you are pregnant and end up eating it by mistake." Qin Yongjun said plausibly.

Zhang Lan sighed, rubbed his forehead and said, "Don't worry, this is a superstitious saying, it's okay to eat chicken."

"One person said it might be superstition. The elders on both sides of us said so, which means it makes sense. You are a doctor, don't you have any other explanation?" Qin Yongjun replied.

Zhang Lan thought for a while and explained: "Chicken is warm in nature. Eating too much can easily cause heat disturbance, cause uneasy fetal movements, and induce miscarriage. However, chicken has the effect of replenishing the middle and replenishing qi, replenishing essence and replenishing the marrow. Eat a little bit of it every day. It is beneficial to the stability of the fetus." Qin Yongjun nodded and said: "That's it, it shows that eating chicken still has some harmful effects. There are so many delicious foods, it's okay not to eat chicken."

Zhang Lan shook his head helplessly and stopped talking.If you don't want to eat, just eat. There's no need to argue over this.

After eating and resting for a while, Zhang Lan returned to the acupuncture studio.It has not been open for several days. After opening today, Yu Lingling answered several calls and it was already fully booked for the afternoon.

When they arrived at the acupuncture hall, Yu Lingling was eating on the table in the room. When she saw Zhang Lan entering the room, she put down her chopsticks and was about to stand up.

Zhang Lan said quickly: "It's okay, Lingling, you can eat. I've already eaten. I'll watch at the door. You can eat in peace."

I walked to the door and sat down at the desk. I shook the mouse and opened the computer. After opening the browser, I thought about it and directly searched for the name of the ancient book I read in the morning.

In the morning, the original version of traditional Chinese with vertical version in classical Chinese had no punctuation marks.Zhang Lan felt dizzy after reading it, so she simply searched the Internet to see if there was a translated version.

After searching, I found that there is indeed a translated version.Zhang Lan opened the link directly. Looking at the classical Chinese text in the front row of the webpage and the translated text below, Zhang Lan breathed a sigh of relief, which made it much easier to read.

Apart from anything else, just a single vertical line without punctuation marks is a big obstacle for ordinary people to read.

Even if it is classical Chinese, it will be much easier to read as long as it is written in horizontal format with punctuation marks.It would be easier to read if there were some translations.

Sitting at the desk and looking at the computer, Yu Lingling came out of the back room after eating for a while. She saw Zhang Lan holding her chin and staring at the computer. She curiously looked over and said, "Zhang Lan, are you looking at this?" What?"

"Nuo, look at what it is?" Zhang Lan turned sideways with a smile and said to Yu Lingling next to him.

Yu Lingling frowned and looked at it for a while, then stood up and said, "I don't understand, what is this?"

Zhang Lan laughed and said: "This is a classical Chinese book. It does not look very friendly to ordinary people."

"What book are you reading?" Yu Lingling asked curiously.

"I also read ancient books based on other people's translations." Zhang Lan explained with a smile.

Yu Lingling nodded in understanding, glanced at the wall clock on the wall next to her, and said, "The patient with an appointment will be here in a moment. I made the appointment at this time when I called in the morning."

"Come just come, we'll just treat him when he comes." Zhang Lan waved his hand and said.

Before he finished speaking, a car stopped at the door of the acupuncture center.A middle-aged woman got out of the driver's seat and opened the rear door.

On the other side, a young man got out of the passenger seat, took out a wheelchair from the open trunk, unfolded it and put it aside.

Then the young man walked to the rear door, bent down to help a middle-aged man get out of the car, and then helped the middle-aged man walk two steps. The middle-aged woman on the side quickly pushed the wheelchair over and let the middle-aged man sit down. In a wheelchair.

Seeing the two people pushing the wheelchair towards the acupuncture hall, Zhang Lan quickly stood up and walked to the door, opened the door and lifted the curtain, allowing the young man to push the wheelchair into the house.

As soon as they entered the room, the middle-aged woman took the lead and said with a smile: "Hello, Dr. Zhang, I'm here to trouble you again."

Zhang Lan put down the curtain and said with a smile: "What's the trouble? What's going on? I remember the last time I finished acupuncture, wasn't my eldest brother able to help me walk? Why is he in a wheelchair again?"
