Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 650 - 648: After the Rescue

Ms. Cui successfully gave birth, both mother and child are safe, and Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed. He instructed someone to present Lin Wanwan with a tray of beautiful and exquisite gold ingots as a token of gratitude.

The bottom of the gold ingots was engraved with the official seal of the Great Tang, likely a gift from Li Shimin to the Cheng Mansion.

Lin Wanwan commented that the Demon Lord of Mayhem was indeed rough yet attentive; he truly understood her! Who doesn’t love gold!

After politely declining, Lin Wanwan cheerfully took half of the gold ingots and left the Cheng Mansion. If she didn’t go now, the city gates would be closing!

Lin Wanwan estimated that Ms. Cui lost about 400 ml of blood during childbirth, which, though not meeting the standards of postpartum hemorrhage in later generations, was still a significant loss for an older mother like Ms. Cui, already lacking in vitality.

The people at the Cheng Mansion originally wanted Lin Wanwan to prescribe a formula to replenish blood and energy. Thinking of all the good things she brought to Chang’an, which included Golden Cod Fish Roe, Lin Wanwan offered to send one over the next day to help nourish Ms. Cui.

This item has miraculous effects on postpartum bleeding and is commonly known as the lifesaving gelatin for pregnant women.

However, at this moment, the medicinal properties of Golden Cod Fish Roe hadn’t spread in the Great Tang yet. Coastal fishermen, through experience, knew its miraculous effects on postpartum hemorrhage, while those far from the sea didn’t know about it.

Golden Cod Fish is the Yellow Lip Fish, named because the circular scales on its head resemble coins, thus it’s called Golden Cod.

Whether in the Great Tang or modern times, the quantity of Golden Cod Fish Roe is quite limited.

This fish hides in underground caves in the sea, untempted by bait, making it difficult for fishermen in the Great Tang to catch them.

Even if they occasionally managed to catch some, since people didn’t recognize their value, they couldn’t sell them at a high price. Families with sons usually dried and kept them, gifting them as wedding dowries.

In modern times, due to environmental concerns and fishing technology, it’s on the brink of extinction, becoming a second-level protected animal, banned from fishing and trade.

But in Great Tang, due to technical limitations and taste (its meat pales in comparison to tastier fish), there was plenty of it!

Discussing environmental protection with Great Tang’s fishermen, who can barely fill their stomachs, is meaningless. Moreover, with their fishing technique and volume, they couldn’t come close to depleting the Yellow Lip Fish.

Lin Wanwan thought it was just the right opportunity to advertise this good stuff, generating extra income for the poor ancestors of Great Tang’s fishermen!

Whether a treasure has a market depends partly on its intrinsic value, and marketing also plays a significant role.

Lin Wanwan praised Golden Cod Fish Roe to the Cheng Mansion people, boasting its benefits in nourishing health, replenishing blood and energy, curing postpartum hemorrhage, internal bleeding, beautifying skin, anti-aging, enhancing kidneys, and boosting vitality.

Additionally, Lin Wanwan gifted them the recipe for Black Chicken Golden Cod Fish Roe Soup, telling the Cheng Mansion folks that dietary supplements are better than medicinal ones.

From Lin Wanwan’s perspective, Golden Cod Fish Roe is akin to a Rolls-Royce in the fish world; one worth seven figures, a definite luxury gift.

Before Yellow Lip Fish was listed as a protected species in modern times, Golden Cod Fish Roe was already more valuable than gold, and historically a royal tribute.

After becoming a protected species, it turned into a collectible level antique, akin to old versions of Angong Niuhuang Pills, with greater collection value than consumption.

As a small financial enthusiast, Lin Wanwan was willing to use it to earn goodwill, and not merely due to the influence of Cheng Yaojin and the Cui family from Qinghe.

Yes, definitely not. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Ms. Cui was deeply grateful and planned to introduce a tutor for little Qingyu, which was just an added bonus; Lin Wanwan didn’t intend for little Qingyu to pass the imperial exam or become a female official.

If Ms. Cui finds the effects beneficial, it will surely start a trend among noble ladies.

In the future, if fishermen can catch Golden Cod Fish and make roe, they might have a chance to alleviate poverty and achieve prosperity.

Of course, due to differences in circulation channels and information, fishermen definitely can’t sell it at astronomical prices.

After all, "those wearing rich clothing are not the ones raising silkworms."

However, it’s better than the situation where fishermen previously didn’t regard fish roe highly, leaving the vast ocean as a treasure in front of them but not utilizing it while they’re hungry, which truly doesn’t make sense.

Leisurely riding the carriage out of the city, Lin Wanwan gazed at the sunset, listening to the distant drum sounds from Chang’an City; she felt relaxed, and even the bumpy carriage ride didn’t feel uncomfortable.

Since being invited by Auntie Xiao to offer incense nine days ago, Lin Wanwan hadn’t returned to the estate.

When she returned, both Xiao Yixun and little Qingyu, the pair of treasures, were pouting so hard their lips could hang soy sauce bottles.

With a smile, Lin Wanwan jumped off the carriage, hugged both tightly, and ushered the pair of darlings into the house.

In the evening, she played the zither for a while as usual, listened to Xiao Yixun read to her, watched little Qingyu roll around and act cute by her side, and after enjoying some warmth, the three of them donned Lin Wanwan’s "designed" little clothings and soaked in the hot spring pool together.

Life in the estate was truly simpler and beautiful.

If not for the powerful nobles in Chang’an City eyeing vigilantly, Lin Wanwan would dare call life in the Great Tang as an idyllic haven.

Sleeping in the Great Tang until midnight, Lin Wanwan rubbed her eyes upon waking, traversing time back to the modern era.

In modern times, it was just noon; she needed to get ready and head to the hospital to copy prescriptions with Master!

Alas, having an entire time-space-rich woman, she still had to work so hard learning, Lin Wanwan couldn’t help but feel moved by her own ambition.

Before heading out, Lin Wanwan saw numerous WeChat messages from Lu Shouyue, and responded to a few.

Riding the car he specially borrowed from Ancient Capital Times Group, off to work at the hospital!

Lu Shouyue had opened branches of Buzhou Studio and auction houses at Ancient Capital Antiques City, along with venture capital matters; he truly had many tasks.

The mentality of generations of wealthy families is to expand new business territories anytime, anywhere.

Someone like Lin Wanwan, a nouveau riche from halfway up the road, didn’t quite possess that business acumen for now.

For Lin Wanwan, business was solely for making money, but now she could live for her ideals.

Making money with great effort couldn’t compare to the joy of copying prescriptions with Master—no, the happiness of studying medicine—ignoring her tears, she genuinely loved learning! Not just being pushed beyond her limits!

Lately, Master Liang has been teaching Lin Wanwan the content of Golden Needle Poem, created by the secluded Ming Dynasty physician, Elder Quanshi, compiled in Xu Feng’s "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Compendium."

Lin Wanwan studied diligently, organizing many notes, planning to engrave them into a book to give to Elder Sun upon returning to the Great Tang in the name of the deceased master.

With Elder Sun’s acupuncture foundation, accessing these new techniques could connect diverse aspects, yielding better results than Lin Wanwan learning by herself; moreover, Elder Sun could simplify it and teach Lin Wanwan.

Working until six in the evening, after seeing the last patient who came from afar, Lin Wanwan could finally clock out.

Compared to the busy Western medicine resident doctors, Lin Wanwan, a yet-to-graduate carefree Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner without administrative worries, was much more comfortable; when it was time to finish work, she did so.
