Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionChenxiang's daughter Hongdou refuses to take her medicine. Perhaps a spoonful of Almond Tofu could help the medicine go down...
- (Talk to Hongdou, optional)
- Chenxiang: Doudou, be a good girl, let's go pick your medicine. You'll only get better if you take your medicine.
- Hongdou: I'm not going, I'm not going! I hate the medicine at Bubu Pharmacy. I hate it!
- Chenxiang: You need to do as you're told, Doudou... And hey, if we go to Bubu Pharmacy, you'll get to see Baizhu. How about that?
- Hongdou: Wow, really? ...Mr. Baizhu is so nice, I'm sure just seeing him will make me better. Then I won't need any medicine!
- Chenxiang: Hmm, but if poor Mr. Baizhu found out you didn't like his medicine... You wouldn't want to make him mad, would you?
- Hongdou: Erm... erm... What about if we just pick the medicine, but I don't take it?
- (Talk to Chenxiang)
- Chenxiang: Doudou, be a good girl, you'll only get better if you take your medicine...
- Hongdou: No! I don't want to! I hate it, it tastes gross...
What's wrong?- Chenxiang: Oh, hello Traveler. Doudou is quite a sickly child. This is the medicine she needs to take, according to the prescription Dr. Baizhu gave me.
- Chenxiang: But she refuses to take it. She complains she doesn't like the taste... *sigh* Unfortunately, herbal medicine is bitter, that's just how it is...
- Chenxiang: The only time she ever agrees to take it is if she gets to have a bowl of Almond Tofu afterwards.
- Chenxiang: Traveler, if you have the time, could you go and pick me up a portion of Almond Tofu? I should stay here — I may still need to talk her into it...
- Okay.
- Chenxiang: Thank you. Just one portion for Doudou is enough.
- What illness does she have?
- Chenxiang: *sigh* I wish I knew. Whatever it is, Dr. Baizhu says it's nearly impossible to cure, and that just keeping the symptoms at bay takes a lot of medication.
- Chenxiang: I fear she might need to take medicine her whole life. And starting at such a young age... It doesn't bear thinking about.
- Chenxiang: I just wish I were the one with the illness... But the best I can hope for is that things don't get any worse for the poor child.
- Chenxiang: Anyway. Please go and fetch me a portion of Almond Tofu, just the one will do.
- Hey kiddo. Not liking the medicine, huh?
- Hongdou: It's sooooo bitter!!! Lulu's medicine is way less bitter than mine!
- Chenxiang: Doudou... Lulu and her friends were just pretending. That wasn't real medicine they were drinking, it was some leftover sugary water from a bowl of Almond Tofu.
- Hongdou: Oh... So Almond Tofu won't make me get better? Then... I guess I do have to take that icky medicine...
- Chenxiang: That's right! Good girl. As soon as you're better you can eat whatever you like!
- Hongdou: Why can't they make medicine taste sweet like Almond Tofu? So unfair...
- Chenxiang: *sigh* There's no getting through to her... Anyway. Please go and fetch me a portion of Almond Tofu, just the one will do.
- (Talk to Hongdou)
- Hongdou: Wah... I don't wanna take it...
- Hey kiddo. Not liking the medicine, huh?
- (Same as above)
- (Return to Chenxiang with the Almond Tofu)
- Chenxiang: Have you brought the Almond Tofu?
- (Opens the item selection screen)
- Hongdou: No! I don't want to...
- Hey, if you take your medicine, I've got some Almond Tofu for you...
- Hongdou: Almond Tofu? But I still have to take the medicine first...
- Chenxiang: Doudou, be a good girl, you'll only get better if you take your medicine... Aaaaand, there's Almond Tofu waiting for you...
- Hongdou: Wah... But, Mr. Baizhu is so clever... why can't he make the medicine Almond Tofu flavor...
