Chapter 16: The First Patient

The two arrived at the horn street in the capital, and after looking for a long time, they did not find a shop called the blacksmith shop in the capital, and after many inquiries, the store next to it said that the blacksmith shop had moved away for almost a year, and the owner of the store had changed a few, and everyone did not know where he had moved.

Jin Cheng looked lost.

Chen Xi secretly thought to himself that it was just a blacksmith shop, why was the young master so interested, the ironware he just bought was given away, and he didn't know why he became interested in ironware, and asked: "Young master, why are you looking for this blacksmith shop, there is no need to farm at home, and it is useless to buy those ironworks."

Jin Cheng was ready to explain to her, but it was useless to explain, and said: "I have a special use, it's not easy to come to the capital, let's go shopping, you can buy anything you want, I'll give it to you" He still didn't give up, since he came to try his luck, maybe this boss moved.

In this way, the two of them walked for an hour or two, but they didn't find a store called the Beijing blacksmith shop, he also went to ask the two blacksmith shops, and they couldn't create the instruments in their hearts, he was completely deflated, thinking that it was impossible to carry out surgery in the Tang Dynasty, which was more severe than the Nayi people beating and scolding themselves.

It was almost dark when the two returned to Jingkou County, Jin Cheng didn't say anything all the way, and Chen Xi saw that the young master was sullen and didn't dare to say much.

In the evening, Yifang came to prick him with a needle, and when he saw that he was depressed, he asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong, I heard that you went to the capital today, what's the matter?"

Jin Cheng said: "It's a trip, do you remember last time, I told you about the fact that I could save the beggar."

"Yes, yes, does this have anything to do with the blacksmith shop?" she said with wide eyes.

He said: "It has a lot to do with it, if you want to do surgery, the instruments related to the operation need to be created, but ordinary blacksmith shops can't build it, only a master Ma called the Beijing blacksmith shop can make it."

Yifang was also surprised after hearing this, and asked excitedly: "Oh, no wonder, what did Master Ma say" She used to think he was bragging, but she didn't expect him to really care about this matter, his appetite was completely hung up, thinking that the two imperial doctors in the capital can't be cured, you really dare to think, can you save it and then say, as a doctor, you are eager to save people with this new method, even if you are a liar, then I have to find out.

Jin Cheng said deflatedly: "It's a pity that Master Ma moved a year ago, and now he can't find anyone else at all."

Yifang said: "Oh, it's a pity, if I pay more attention to the capital in the future, maybe he will move."

Jin Cheng was noncommittal, he didn't want to get entangled in this topic, so he changed the topic and said: "Senior sister, I don't feel anything about this needle today, your skills are getting better and better."

Yifang said secretly: If you are obedient, I will make you comfortable, if you mention Sister Yiren again, I will make you crooked, and said with a smile: "It's not that I have good skills, it's that you have thick skin, and the pain can't wear it."

Jin Cheng said: "Oh! I see."

Yifang saw that he actually admitted this, and his heart was a little funny, and he asked again: "Senior brother, how is the decoration of your clinic?"

Jin Cheng said: "It should be soon, now the basic things are ready, and now we are just waiting for the opening."

Yifang said: "I'm fine anyway, I'll help you then" said as he pulled out the needle.

"I can't ask for it, junior sister, this is very good," Jin Cheng immediately agreed.

After a few more days, a plaque was hung on the face of the door, and this was the face.

The Jingkou County People's Hospital opened in the cold wind, and a ginkgo tree next to the hospital swayed in the wind and dropped its leaves, and in the process of falling, it was golden in the warm winter sun.

This scene is exactly the same as Jin Cheng's state of mind at this time.

The opening process is also very shabby, that is, a few family members plus Yifang.

Jin Cheng was also depressed, originally wanted to make some noise and expand his influence, such as asking a team to beat drums and gongs, but his father disagreed, the reason was to keep a low profile and not be too loud.

The father thought in his heart that it was best for everyone not to know the best, what level his son is, he knows best as a father, and he really can't put aside his face to be embarrassed.

On this day, Jin Cheng sat in the clinic for a long time, but he didn't see a single patient, everyone didn't know what this Jingkou County People's Hospital was for, and the most ruthless thing was the bustle of Xinglintang opposite, and the comparison was easy to hurt.

My father praised the decoration style, and also praised the name, thinking that it was very good, both vivid and vivid, thinking that it was best that the common people could not understand the best, and stayed for less than half an hour and took my mother and others back to the pharmacy.

In the end, Jin Cheng, Yifang, Chen Xi, Zhihua and Steward Chen were left, and several people looked at each other.

On the second day, the situation was still not optimistic, it was still the same, no one came in, to be precise, people who passed by rarely looked inside, and even if they did, they had no urge to come in.

Steward Chen saw the young master and said with a face: "Young master, the opening is like this, the people still don't know about our clinic, and business is boiled out, young master, I will go back to the pharmacy from tomorrow, I am really busy over there, and Miss Yifang and Chen Xi will help you here."

Jin Cheng said expressionlessly: "Okay, you go and get busy, anyway, it's not busy here now"

Yifang also said mischievously: "Senior brother, you have to hold on, don't think about it."

Jin Cheng was amused, and said: "What kind of person am I, I haven't seen any big winds and waves, it's normal that the business is not good when I just opened it, and we can slowly get familiar with the work process, everyone says yes."

Yifang thought to herself that this business was not good, there was no business at all, and said depressedly: "Senior brother, I am still busy in Wuweiguan and can't win, why is it so unpopular when I come here."

Chen Xi said: "Young master, do you think it's because we hang a hospital sign, everyone can't figure it out, everyone else calls it a clinic or something, we call it a hospital, and the people can't figure out what we do."

Jin Cheng patted his head and said: "No wonder my father said that this name was good, it turned out that everyone couldn't understand it" I thought that at that time, my father praised his name for being good, and I felt weird at that time.

Zhihua hurriedly said: "Young master, what should I do."

Steward Chen smiled silently, thinking that the old man had long disagreed with the young master to do this, but I didn't expect him to insist so much, to put it bluntly, I just hope that you don't have any business, which is why the old man wants to call me back to the pharmacy, the old man's original words are: They little children want to make trouble, let them make trouble, we don't mix, but I don't dare to tell the young master.

In the evening, Yifang came to get a needle, and Jin Cheng said: "Senior sister, you have patients every day, but I haven't seen a single patient."

Yifang said strangely: "Ah, we didn't see the patient."

Jin Cheng laughed and said: "Am I not a patient, you say, do I want to change my mind."

Yifang smiled disdainfully and said, "What's wrong, I'm ready to retreat in the face of difficulties."

Jin Chengyi said righteously: "Phew, there is no such word as retreat in my dictionary, it is the norm to face difficulties with wind and rain, and it is the mentality to be rain or shine, I want to show you how my great doctor Jin Cheng did it."

Yifang smiled and said with a smile: "Senior brother, you talk one thing at a time, I am almost convinced by you, and now it is the norm for no patients to come in."

Zhihua was washing his feet and came in, and when he saw Yifang smiling happily, he said curiously: "Sister Yifang, why are you so happy."

Yifang said: "Your young master wants to be a great doctor Jin Cheng, which really confirms the saying that I am willing to believe that there are ghosts in the world, and I don't believe in the stinky mouth of men."

Jin Cheng immediately said: "Sister Yifang, don't look down on people, if I do it, I have ideals."

Yifang shrugged his shoulders and said: "I also admit that you have ideals, but now there is more reality in front of you, if you don't close the door, you should come back and continue to be your eldest young master, how good it is to go with the flow, you have to do the tide, be careful of being drowned by the sea, last time I was still a small goal to earn a thousand taels in two months, I think you can hold on for two months without closing the door It will be lucky."

Jin Cheng couldn't see this guy's arrogance: "Senior sister, what if I earn two thousand taels of silver in two months."

Yifang smiled even more happily, and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's been a few days now, and your small target time is still a month and twenty-five days, and you are still so confident, I really convinced you."

Jin Cheng said mischievously: "Don't bully the young man to be poor, I will impress you, otherwise, if I succeed, you will marry me, how about it."

Yifang hated him and said, "You want to be beautiful," and twisted the needle after speaking.

"Oops, hey" pain from head to toe is a thrill.

Jin Cheng hurriedly said: "You can't afford to lose, why do you take revenge on me like this, you really want to murder your husband."

Yifang saw that it was almost over, took the needle, and said: "Don't talk nonsense in the future, this is the punishment."

When Jin Cheng saw that she was leaving, he immediately shouted: "Senior sister, I was wrong just now, I have something to discuss."

Seeing him apologize, Yifang immediately sat down on the edge of the table and took a sip of tea.

Jin Cheng saw that she didn't leave, and continued: "Otherwise, I think the name of the hospital, the people will not be able to accept it for a while, I thought about it, and you go to prepare a couplet to paste at the door, the content is: Wonderful hand rejuvenation, save the life and help the wounded, horizontal couplet: clinic, simple and specific, what do you think, the couplet is made of good wood."

Zhihua immediately said: "Okay, young master, this is the best."

Yifang thought about it for a while, felt that saving lives and helping the injured was too exaggerated, nodded and said: "It should be possible, in this way, the people at least know what they are doing here, and change saving lives and helping the injured to medicine to cure the disease."

Jin Cheng didn't care why she wanted to change it, and immediately said: "Okay, just according to you, senior sister, you know how to prepare as quickly as possible tomorrow."

At noon on the second day, the couplet was hung up, Jin Cheng also went to the other side of the street to take a look, it felt good, the size was also appropriate, basically people passing by knew that this was a clinic, this progress was not small, and he himself was complacent.

After lunch, Jin Cheng was dozing off, and a voice woke him up: "Oh, hey, who did I say, it turned out to be our young master Jin."

Jin Cheng thought that a patient was coming and was about to show his strength, but he didn't know that the guy in front of him was none other than Chen Xia, the sitting doctor in Xinglintang opposite, and immediately said: "It turned out that Dr. Chen arrived, and he was disappointed."

Chen Xia stretched his waist and said, "Young Master Jin, you have courage and courage."

Jin Cheng knew that he was going to ridicule himself again, so he said politely: "Hehe, what courage and courage, please Dr. Chen spit out some ivory and I'll listen."

Chen Xia saw him scolding himself for being a dog, and said unceremoniously: "Young Master Jin, what about me, I sat in the clinic this morning and saw thirty patients, of course, many patients' prescriptions have to go to catch medicine, they are not willing to go to your Jin family pharmacy, I have done a lot of ideological work, these thirty patients finally have five patients to go to your Jin family pharmacy, oops, it's a pity that the other twenty-five patients are willing to go to the Beijing pharmacy to catch medicine, you say this, this... If I had known your attitude, I would not have advised them."

After hearing this, Zhihua thought that you were farting, and interjected: "Obviously, you said a lot of bad things about our Jin family pharmacy to the patients, and twenty-five patients were persuaded away by you."

Chen Xia's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "Sister Zhihua, you are really naughty, you are getting better and better-looking, there is no one like yours in my Chen Mansion, or forget it with me, in the Jin family, you are also a maid, at most you are a maid in the room, when you come to my Chen family, I will at least give you a concubine, you see how it is."

Zhihua was so ashamed that his face was flushed.

Jin Cheng slapped the table and said: "Chen Xia, don't go too far, I can worry about your sister Chen Tao, you are not qualified to worry about my paintings, I don't have maids or concubines here, the women I like are all wives."

Chen Xia saw him pull his sister in, and said angrily: "What are you, you still worry about my sister, I'm still in the hospital, I've always wondered, why is there a hospital opposite, it turns out that you're not afraid of death, I just came in to see you dozing off here, it's uncomfortable, you said I'm also miserable, our Xinglintang is a patient who has too many backaches and backaches and dozes off, and your Jinjia Hospital is a fart that is idle and has backache and dozes off."

Jin Cheng said: "Hehe, don't be arrogant, one day I want your clinic to close, believe it or not, of course, you are my eldest brother, I have to be polite to you, I am not like you, things are done so desperately" After speaking, he looked at him with a smile.

Chen Xia saw that he was talking about his sister again, so he was angry and said: "Jin Cheng, you bastard, can you not talk about my sister, you have a kind of talk about the clinic."

Jin Cheng said: "I didn't want to talk about Chen Tao, thinking that he has an uncompetitive brother like you, my eldest brother, and I'm so irritable."

The two of them just didn't fight.

Chen Xia saw that his face was as thick as a city wall, and shouted: "You TM have no use except thick skin, you can tell me how to be worthy of my sister, of course, you don't have a patient, I want to worry about you, I will be in a good mood to introduce you to some patients to you, okay."

"Okay, your dad, I want you to be pitiful, don't cry when you come" Jin Cheng was angry, saying that he was not sick and was stabbed in pain, and his face was red.

When Chen Xia saw him, he was happy in his heart, and said: "I will definitely introduce it, you don't know the hearts of good people, think about it, if there is no patient in ten days and half a month, and the door is closed, how can I be happy, do you say, Zhihua" After speaking, he threw a few winks at Zhihua.

Jin Cheng was about to scold, when he saw a middle-aged uncle in a plain white Tang costume come in, and shouted: "Chen Xia, you brute, go back to the clinic with Lao Tzu" After speaking, he was about to clean him up.

When Chen Xia saw his father coming, he was startled and ran back.

Old Doctor Chen hugged his fists and said: "Young Master Jin, the dog was a little radical just now, don't worry, this business can't be done by one family, and our Chen family has no opinion on you opening a clinic here."

Jin Cheng saw his sincere attitude of admitting his mistakes, but it was not easy to get angry, and he also said politely: "Old Doctor Chen, I also have something wrong, we young people pinch when we meet, and we are used to it" I thought that I should be polite to my future father-in-law.

Old Doctor Chen said: "Young Master Jin, the front of this clinic is a little deserted, it does take some time to get the recognition of the people, don't worry, when I first opened the door, I didn't see a single patient for half a month, at that time it was still relatively desolate here, there was no flow of people, now the flow of people is larger, it will definitely get better slowly" He sincerely suggested.

Jin Cheng was so moved that he almost didn't leave tears, thinking that this old man was so good, why did he give birth to this hateful uncle, he was really speechless, and said in his mouth: "Thank you Chen Lao for your advice, in fact, I don't want to come to vicious competition, but I just saw that the façade was empty and empty, so I simply came to open a clinic to exercise myself."

Doctor Chen said: "I see that the door is hanging on the Jingkou County People's Hospital, I don't know what this means," he also asked sincerely.

Jin Cheng saw that he was still interested in this, and immediately said nonsense: "As for me, I don't want to only carry out traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment technology, but also want to start with surgery, so I will call it a hospital."

Dr. Chen has been practicing medicine for decades, and he was also shocked after listening to it, thinking that surgery was very difficult, and he had studied medical medicine for decades, although he knew that there was a story of Hua Tuo's bone scraping and healing, but he was limited to the level he could not reach, and he did not have the opportunity to learn from his peers.

Back at Xinglintang, Chen Xia stepped forward and said: "Father, I just went to see our competitors, but I didn't expect it to be his golden straw bag, I really laughed at me, I thought it was a strong competitor, but I didn't expect it to help."

Chen Lao said solemnly: "Chen Xia, are you never going to grow up, there are people outside the world, there are heavens outside the sky, haven't I told you about it."

Chen Xia said: "Father, you have taught me, and I also believe in these two sentences, but for that Jin Young Master, I don't want you to know him better, he can recite a prescription, count me as losing."

Chen Lao said: "I saw that you quarreled with him just now, you will make less trouble in the future, we doctors want doctors to be benevolent, don't fight every day."

Chen Xia thought to himself, you are afraid that his father is a doctor, and now that his father has stepped down, he is afraid of a fart, and said: "It's not me who fights fiercely, it's he who provoked bad things about my sister first."

"Believe it or not, Lao Tzu whipped you, if you don't go, he will say bad things about your sister, if you don't go, he didn't say that he would go up the pole and come here to provoke you" Chen Lao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"I can't get used to his bear-like appearance," Chen Xia muttered.

Chen Lao said: "In a word, you don't want to cause trouble, and don't deliberately introduce patients to the capital, I repeatedly warn you, you must value harmony in business, don't set up enemies, the Jin family's medicinal materials are of good quality and cheap, you also have to think more about the people, you say you can let me save some snacks."

Chen Xia didn't dare to make a sound, thinking to himself that I want others to go to the capital to buy medicine, and you are not here every day. 、

Yifang and Chen Xi came back from outside.

Yifang saw that Jin Cheng pulled his head and didn't speak, and asked, "Senior brother, what's wrong."

Zhihua immediately said: "The villain on the opposite side came to count down our young master just now, and the two had a big fight."

When Jin Cheng saw Yifang coming back, he didn't pay attention to her, and asked Zhihua: "Does that Chen Lao really care about the development of our clinic, or is he as hypocritical as his son?"

Zhihua said: "Chen Lao should really care, he has a good reputation, he has always been kind to others, no wonder Steward Chen said that the patients in their clinic did not go to the Jin family prescription in the morning to take medicine, and in the afternoon the patients took a lot of medicine, it turned out that Chen Xia persuaded the patients away, and in the afternoon Chen Lao came back to sit for a consultation, he didn't dare to persuade him, he was really not a thing" I saw him light on himself just now, and he was angry in his heart, and he didn't leave a mouth at all.

Jin Cheng thought to himself about this strange thing, when will he think of a way to treat him well.

After another two days, there was still no patient, Jin Cheng wandered left and right, his heart was not good at all, after lunch, he was bored and lay on the table to rest.

Suddenly, a voice came, like a heavenly voice: "Doctor, doctor, is there a doctor?"

Jin Cheng was excited, he was not alone in his excitement, everyone was excited.

When the patient saw that the doctor was napping, he covered his stomach and stepped forward and said, "Dr. Chen, I have a stomachache."

Jin Cheng immediately stepped forward to ask the first patient, and his happiness was beyond words.

The patient said, "Eh, how did you change the doctor, please ask the doctor's surname."

Jin Cheng said: "My surname is Jin, I am a doctor, may I ask where you are uncomfortable."

The patient looked at it for a long time, patted his head and said: "Oops, I had a terrible stomach pain just now, I didn't see it clearly, I went wrong, I was looking for Dr. Chen Xia from the Xinglin Hall of the Chen family, I didn't pay attention just now, I saw a clinic sign posted at the door, I thought it was coming in, I'm sorry, I went wrong" After speaking, he covered his stomach and walked to the opposite side in pain.

Jin Cheng was speechless, and even wondered if the bastard had hired a patient to taunt him.
