Chapter 125: Soap

Yang Yi rode a fast horse and stopped at the door of the medical hall, and was running into Yang Zixi, who was carrying a basin of clothes to wash by the river, and hurriedly dismounted and shouted: "Little master, the eldest family of Sun Li has given us a post, inviting us to attend the wedding of their family Sun Yaoyi, which is scheduled for three days later, and also attached an invitation to Dean Sima of the academy and asked us to forward it." What do you think of this? Do we send it or not? ”

Yang Zixi was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Sister-in-law Li beside him said unhappily: "Sun Dewang's family has a banquet, what guests do you want to invite yourself, why do you let us pass it on your behalf?" ”

"I'm afraid I'm worried that my face is not big enough, so please don't come to Dean Sima." Sister-in-law Huang echoed with a smile.

"Then we don't need to make a face for others, little master, you are so busy every day, you may not have time to go!" Yang Yi said busily.

Yang Zixi thought for a while and said, "Send it, it's a gesture." Thanks to Nanhuai Academy, our medical hall was able to gain a firm foothold so quickly, what if the people of Xiangfang Village wanted to take advantage of it, how big of a deal? In this village, I don't see you when I look up, and I will have more time to get along with each other in the future. ”

Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Huang glanced at each other, happy in their hearts. There are many people in the countryside, and they are all inseparable from your family and my family, and the little master is too 'lonely' on weekdays, and never takes the initiative to interact with the people in the village, which is not a way in the long run. So today's matter, the two of them deliberately tried to test the little master, but fortunately, the little master's heart turned a corner.

In fact, Yang Zixi also understands that the habits of the 21st century cannot be used here. In modern times, people keep a distance from each other, and in line with the principle that more is better than less, it doesn't matter what other people's affairs do. But here it is different. There are twenty or thirty households in a village, and whoever has an extra piece of bacon steamed for dinner. Before the evening, the whole village could know that the women in the village were the medium of first-hand information, and the men in the village also liked to compare with each other. It's really a society where every family has no secrets.

There are a lot of things in the hospital that ordinary people have never seen, all kinds of instruments, medicines, and equipment, all of which are strange things when taken out, so she also considered keeping it secret at first, but it has to be used by patients anyway, right? Deliberate cover-up can only make people more suspicious, anyway, ordinary people don't understand the usefulness of these things, and what they can't use is something of no value, and the generous ones are not remembered.

For example, in the eyes of others, fine and breathable gauze is more precious than an electrocardiogram. The texture of the fine white silk, the soft feel, and the fine and regular stitches should be the handwriting of a skilled embroiderer! It was used to bandage wounds? It's a terrible thing!

There is also sticky note paper, the white and flexible paper is better than the best Chengxintang paper, and the words are not printed at all! It is very popular with scholars who come to see the doctor. They refused to leave every time they took the medicine, and they were so stubborn that they went around one or two pieces of paper, so angry that Sister-in-law Huang often scolded people, for fear that the little master would be poor.

The most popular are cotton balls and cotton swabs, cotton is a rare thing at this time, and only the rich and noble can afford to wear cotton jackets. The snow-white cotton ball makes people feel comfortable when they look at it, and the person who looks at the disease is reluctant to use it on the wound at first, for fear that it will be stained with blood, but the little doctor Yang Zixi pressed it after pulling the needle. It was too late to hide, so after they stopped the bleeding, they took it and washed it. After drying it, I'm ready to save it, and I can't say that I can make up a cotton jacket in the future.

Eventually, people love practical things. As for the really expensive instruments and equipment, no one really cares about them.

Fortunately, the space is in the hospital. Auxiliary supplies such as cotton balls, gauze, and sticky notes are free of charge, and no amount of treatment will be deducted. In order to facilitate Yang Zixi, a lot of money was prepared in the warehouse of Renhetang, and the key was managed by Yang Huan, Yang Huan was also grateful for this, feeling that the little master really regarded her as a confidant, and actually handed over such an important key to her to guard. Since then, Yang Huan has never left her with the key every day, and the pen and pen accounts are very clear, and even a cotton ball can't escape her eyes.

As for the origin of these items, Yang Zixi painstakingly created an illusion. She ordered Yang to drive a carriage out of the courtyard gate in January, and it took more than ten and a half months to come back, and the goods on the carriage were covered with oilcloth, and occasionally fell out of a paper bag of cotton balls, or a note book, which created the appearance of special channel procurement.

When they arrived at the river, Yang Zixi followed Sister-in-law Huang and them to scoop up the water, but Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Huang rushed to wash the clothes and refused to let her do it herself. Yang Zixi smiled: "I'm not a young lady of everyone, I will do everything I can." ”

Sister-in-law Li replied unhappily: "Who said you wouldn't do it?" It's just not necessary. Little master, you work so hard every day, we can't help and do it in a hurry, this laundry and cooking and other chores are not for us to come, or what do you want us to do? ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Sister-in-law Huang also helped, "It's rare that there are not many people in the medical hall today, so you should rest!" Follow to play in the water, and the clothes really don't need you to wash. ”

Yang Zixi saw her take out one of her underwear, so she was anxious, and hurriedly grabbed it: "Isn't it okay for me to wash my two underwear?" Her underwear is cut by herself, and the style is different from others, and this kind of close-fitting clothes are also washed by others, Yang Zixi is not used to it after all.

Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Huang were shy, so they didn't fight, they only picked up the clothes next to them to wash, and the three of them took out disinfectant soap and a homemade washboard to wash clothes, and envied the village women.

Several village women pushed and shoved for a long time, and one of them put down the stick in his hand, stepped forward, and said to Huang's sister-in-law, who spoke best: "Renhetang is really amazing, the laundry and taking things are so exquisite, I see more foam than soap horns, can you borrow me to try?" ”

Sister-in-law Huang rolled her eyes, and scolded shamelessly in her heart! Every time I wash clothes, someone comes forward to 'borrow and try', and once I borrow it, there is no return, and after a few times in the hands of a few women, you push me, I push yours and say it's gone. The little master's things are rare, and they can't be seen in ordinary places! These people are really embarrassed to come and ask for it again and again.

Seeing that she lowered her head and didn't say a word, the woman blushed, but she was reluctant to leave, and only said in her mouth: "Really try it, I heard yesterday that Sister-in-law Huang gave Sun Abao's family a small piece, how can I try it today?" ”

"Is that for that? It's clear that Sun Abao's family is going to go! Sister-in-law Li couldn't help but say, "You guys just bully Feng Chun to talk, why don't you come to ask me?" ”

Feng Chun is Sister-in-law Huang's maiden name, as soon as Sister-in-law Li said this, the woman didn't dare to speak, Sister-in-law Li is a pungent character, and everyone in the village knows about this, but it is not better than Sister-in-law Huang.

Yang Zixi looked interesting, and only said casually: "What's the matter, just give her a block, it's just soap." ”

"Little master, can't you let go of your hands! The silver of the medical hall is not falling from the sky, we give our parents and fellow villagers a doctor, and we use all the precious things, so we collect that little bit of consultation money, which is already very generous, and some gadgets are given to irrelevant people You rub a little, I rub a little, our Renhetang has really become a good hall? Sister-in-law Li pursed her lips and said sneeringly.

The woman was so frightened by the words of the oil-rubbing that she hurriedly went.

Yang Zixi whispered to Sister-in-law Li: "I know that Sister-in-law Li cares about me, but why bother to make trouble about these gadgets?" They just wanted to give it, and I didn't really buy it with money. ”

Sister-in-law Li and Sister-in-law Huang hurriedly said in unison: "The little master can't say this casually!" ”

Yang Zixi raised his eyebrows, knowing that he was careless.

Sister-in-law Huang said again: "Little master, you don't know the thoughts of these countrymen. They have a cheap advantage, and they don't take advantage of it! As soon as you loosen your hand, they will take our things for granted, and one day you won't give them or yours will not! ”

"So, the precedent can't be set casually, Feng Chun was messed around a few days ago and took away a few pieces of soap, I also told her in private, we agreed that no one will give it in the future." Sister-in-law Li is also a serious Taoist.

Yang Zixi smiled and didn't say anything anymore, her thoughts are always different from theirs, but Sister-in-law Huang and Sister-in-law Li must know the psychology of these villagers in Xiangfang Village better than her, and it's not wrong to listen to them.

"By the way, when it comes to eating and drinking, Sun Dewang has a wedding banquet at home, do we want to send something from Renhetang?" She asked suddenly.

Sister-in-law Huang and Sister-in-law Li were a little uncertain when they heard this: "The rules in the countryside are that those with the same surname must go to help as soon as possible, and the second eldest of the eldest family in Sun Li's family is married to Chen Dongsheng's daughter, so the surname Sun and the surname Chen in Xiangfang Village have to move." But the little master, you are neither surnamed Sun nor Chen, you are naturally a foreigner, as long as you go to the point to eat and drink.

But outsiders have their own rules, and that etiquette is indispensable. There is no standard for the countrymen, they all go to the big face, the more gift money, the more face you have. Our Renhetang is considered a rich man in the eyes of the villagers, and if you give it less, some people will say that you are stingy, and when the time comes, those people with broken mouths will be how ugly and ugly they will be; But it's too much...... If we are not related to each other, what should we do? ”

"Am I a rich man?" Yang Zixi thought of the pocket money in his hand, which was less than ten taels, and cried blood in his heart. Let Zi Du take care of all the money, where can she be considered rich?

"Otherwise, the little master thinks about what rare things can be handled, right?" Sister-in-law Huang suddenly had an idea and said, "It's like soap, how many people in the village are rare!" They have never seen the world, and the little master's things are all great in their eyes, so they can just take one and send it away, and they have a lot of face and a good reputation. ”

"That's reasonable," Sister-in-law Li also helped, "Of course soap is not appropriate, get a side one and take it, and let them open their eyes!" ”

Yang Zixi fell into deep thought, what is suitable as a wedding gift in the space hospital? That's a problem. (To be continued......)
