CHAPTER XVI

After a busy night, Dr. Hu began to pack up the medicine box and prepare to go back, and at this time everyone knew that it was time to pay for the consultation. On weekdays, Dr. Hu only has a dozen copper coins to go to the clinic, but today's situation is different, and the old man doesn't know how much to give. So he asked Dr. Hu tentatively

"Doctor Hu, this is the consultation fee?"

Doctor Hu looked at him and looked at Zhang Li's and said, "Folks, give one or two pieces of silver." ”

"What? a tael of silver, are you going to grab it?" Zhang Li exclaimed, although the old man also felt that it was too much, but he frowned at Zhang Li's reaction.

"Doctor Hu, don't be like a woman. But will this tael of silver be?"

"Hmph, you guys are too much? That's right, Dr. Ben does only need a dozen lines of money to go out of the emergency department, but that's just a diagnosis fee, as for my later rescue with a needle, it's another money, and that's only 800 lines, but the medicine that Dr. Ben personally decocted is also worth 200 lines. In this way, I still take less!" As soon as Dr. Hu heard that the Zhang family said that he had collected more, his angry beard flew up.

"Decoction of the ground medicine yourself?" The old man Zhang glanced at Zhang Li's family, this old woman is lazy to decoct medicine, and she really wants to teach a good lesson. And Zhang Li also regretted it very much in his heart, he knew that he should have decocted the medicine well, but this time he lost two hundred lines, and his heart hurt to death, where can he still take care of the old man's sharp eyes.

Old man Zhang asked Zhang Li to hurry up and get the money, and Zhang Li went back to his room in pain, and he didn't come out for a long time. Shumin heard that Dr. Hu said that Hui'er had a great chance of waking up, and finally put his mind at ease, and asked what Hui'er should do after waking up, whether there was anything to pay attention to, what to eat, etc., Dr. Hu patiently answered one by one, but on how to raise this question, Dr. Hu was a little hesitant.

"Doctor Hu, if you have anything to say, just say it, even if it's some opinions. Shumin asked whimfully.

Dr. Hu sighed and said, "This child has not been well since the last drowning, and he is weak." If you want her to be completely well, it is not impossible, I have some ancestral prescriptions in my hand, and I will be able to recover soon according to the method on the prescription. ”

"What is the prescription?" Shumin immediately came to his senses when he heard that he could make Hui'er get better earlier.

"Alas, it's not that I'm reluctant to get the prescription, it's just that the medicines above are all precious, and a pair of medicines costs at least three taels of silver, and at least three pairs of medicines must be taken in a row to be effective. ”

Isn't that a small 10 taels of silver? Everyone present took a breath, and the croppers were able to save 35 taels a year. There are few people in Zhangjiadi, although they don't have to worry about food and clothing, but they are also tied to the ground, and they only rely on the income from selling grain, not even those families who have time to go to the town to do short-term work.

At this time, Zhang Li took out the money, and one tael of silver was already cutting her flesh, and he took ten taels of silver to make up for his body, so he still had to die?

"How can a money-losing goods use such expensive medicine, don't be stupid and make money for others in vain!"

Dr. Hu's face was blue and white for a while, and Zhang Li was talking about him Kuangren. He only provides prescriptions and does not open a pharmacy, how can he make their money.

He took the consultation fee, picked up the medicine box and left, and before leaving, he was very angry and said that the Zhang family should not invite him if he had any illness in the future, he could not cure it.

Old man Zhang hurriedly pulled him to compensate him, and joked that he was the only doctor in this village, who would he invite if he was not invited? Besides, who would dare to say that he would never get sick? This Zhang Li was confused, and even Doctor Hu dared to offend. You must know that if a doctor does not pay attention to the treatment, the result may be very different.

In the end, it was easy to say that Zhang Li was also ordered to compensate Dr. Hu, and Dr. Hu's face was better, so that he didn't say anything about not coming to the door for treatment.

It was not early, and Dr. Hu didn't want to stay, so he went back at night, and Old Man Zhang hurriedly asked the second child to send him off.

Zhang Zhengming helped Dr. Hu carry the medicine box and walked on the way back to the doctor's house, when he heard someone shouting and waiting, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Shumin who chased him out.

"Hui'er Niang, why are you here?" asked Zhengming suspiciously

"I'm looking for Dr. Hu. Shumin gasped and said, "Doctor Hu, can you give me the prescription you said?" I don't have any money now, but I will find a way." ”

Doctor Hu took a breath of talk and said, "Hui'er Niang, your mother-in-law's words are ugly, but it is not unreasonable, ten taels of silver is not a small amount. ”

"I know, but children are all the flesh of my mother's body, how can I bear to watch my children fall ill at a young age. It's a lifetime thing, doctor, you can do it. Shu Min's tears were about to flow out.

"That's fine. Dr. Hu is also a parent, how could he not understand Shumin's mood at the moment, he opened the medicine box, found a yellowed prescription in the mezzanine of the medicine box, and handed it to Shumin. Shumin didn't have any money on her, so she took out the silver lock plate that Zhengyuan returned to her yesterday.

"This prescription must be very valuable, doctor, you tell me the number, I will mortgage the silver lock plate left by my mother to you, and I will definitely redeem it in the future." ”

"No need, you can take the prescription. "Dr. Hu didn't intend to collect money, they as doctors will save people for their own responsibility, they can save people, the prescription can show its value, bury it in the secret compartment of the medicine box, it will be worthless. I have to say that the realm of doctors in ancient times was high.

Shu Min thanked him and hid the prescription like a treasure. Back at Zhang's house, the people of the Zhang family had already slept one after another, but to her surprise, Chunquan hadn't gone back yet.

"I was wondering if you should go back, I'll drop you off when it's late. Just now when he left, he saw the scene of Shu Min asking for a prescription, and suddenly remembered some of the past, and his tone for Shu Min was much better.

"Thank you, I'm going to stay by Hui'er's side, and I won't go back. "Shumin plans to spend the night at Zhang's house. Although it is inconvenient, she is Hui'er's mother, and no one will say anything. Chunquan heard that she couldn't go back, so he left.

It was night, and Shu Min was thinking about how to earn enough ten taels of silver as much as he could. When you think about it, you can only make tofu.

In her previous life, she was a science student, mainly doing mechanical engineering design. Other than that, she has little to no special skills. Science students, even if they work, they are the same as men, the same overtime and the same business trips. The rest of the travelers either cooked, did business, or farmed. Think about yourself, even if you design something, can you make it in this era? It's all a paper job, not practical at all.

Shumin was in his previous life: when he was a child, he ate what his parents cooked, he lived in elementary school, he ate the school's big pot of rice until he graduated, and after work, he ate a working meal or a big pot of rice. When she was working overtime late at night, she could eat all the semi-cold boiling water instant noodles. Even if her later boyfriend was a rich man and invited a famous French chef to cook for her, she didn't feel much emotion.

Some people may say, how can someone who can't cook make tofu?

People are science students, hey, the theoretical knowledge is still very rich, hehe.

Getting back to the point, Shumin is now only thinking about how to make tofu in order to solve the urgent need. Thinking about it, the sky dawned, and the rooster crowed. Just when the rooster crowed for the second poop, Hui'er opened her eyes and crowed weakly "Mother"

Shumin cried with joy, holding Hui'er in her arms and shaking it gently. Wake up, just wake up.

"Mother, water. "Hui'er has been in a coma all day, not getting a drop of water, and now she wants to drink water as soon as she wakes up.

"Okay, my mother will pour you water right away. Shu Min had already thought of it, and before going to bed, he filled a jar of water in a clay pot and put it in the room. Hui'er drank the water and fell asleep again. Shumin couldn't sleep anyway, so he got up and boiled some porridge and waited for Hui'er to wake up before eating
