Zheng Gu was taken aback and murmured, "But the effect of ginseng is much better than yam."
"However, the amount of ginseng in one prescription would be enough for him to take yam ten times. It's nurturing and gradual, not for emergency ailments. With your prescription, he wouldn't come back after one dose, but with mine, he would come back to buy several more times, isn't its nurturing effect better than yours?" Manbao said, "Besides yam, you can also use licorice root as a substitute for ginseng."
Manbao then pointed to another prescription and said, "It's not to say your prescription is wrong, but his condition is phlegm-damp, radish seeds should be used, your use of mulberry leaves as an adjunct wasn't utilized well."
Manbao sighed, "You are just using the original prescription without any modification."
Zheng Gu: "... I thought I'd modified the prescription according to the patient's condition."
