Chapter 50: Stethoscopes
Wu Zheng put the silver he had just taken out back into his arms and looked at Master Huang with a smile.
Old Man Huang, who was originally holding Zhizhu, saw Wu Zheng's confident look but didn't see him have any follow-up, so he couldn't help asking, "What do you kid want?" ”
Wu Zheng smiled: "I heard that the old man used to be the imperial doctor in the palace? ”
"What did he do in the past?"
"The old man used to be the imperial doctor, so he must be very good at medical skills, but I don't know if the old man still has the idea of going further. For example, adding another means of seeing a doctor to the world, once this matter is successful, the old man wants to leave a name in history. ”
"You kid might as well hurry up what you want to say, the old man hates talking around the bush the most in his life."
Wu Zheng still smiled: "I said that it was my old Wu family artifact, how can I show it lightly?" At that time, the bhikshu holy monk recited a scroll of sutra to the family of Elder Zhao of Sheweiguo, and also received three buckets and three liters of rice grains of gold! Is this artifact of healing and saving people as merciful as a book of scripture? Or do you have no compassion all the time? ”
"Bullshit's mercy, you kid just say it! How much do you want? ”
Seeing that the old man suddenly became angry for no reason, Wu Zheng really didn't feel embarrassed except for being surprised, rubbed his fingers and said: "My aunt spent ten taels of silver to treat a cold in your old hands, which is the price of two acres of paddy fields!" You always want my family's artifact, no matter how you say it, you have to count it! ”
After speaking, Wu Zheng stretched out a palm and shook it in front of the old man.
When the old man saw it, he smiled and said, "Fifty taels? Well said, Bupleurum ......"
"Wait a minute, old man, the kid is not talking about fifty taels, but five hundred taels."
Old Man Huang was startled, and immediately said angrily: "Five hundred taels? Why don't you kid rob it? ”
Wu Zheng said with a smile: "Old man, this is an opportunity to leave a name in history!" Five hundred taels is too much for your old man? Besides, such an artifact is in the hands of a kid who doesn't know medical skills, it's simply a pearl secretly cast, your master, as a generation of medical masters, is it just watching such an artifact pearl covered in dust? ”
"You ......" Old Man Huang coughed angrily at Wu Zheng's words.
In this world, some people love horses, some people love weapons, some people love antique calligraphy and painting, no matter what they love, these things they love have a common characteristic, that is, in the eyes of laymen they may be worthless, but in the eyes of insiders it is worth a thousand gold.
What's more, he can't even see his favorite things ruined in the hands of laymen, Wu Zheng believes that the old man Huang in front of him must be such a person.
Sure enough, after a cough, Old Man Huang nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, five hundred taels is five hundred taels, even if the old man sells this medical hall, he will give you the money." ”
Wu Zheng looked at the Huang Family Medical Hall with an innocent face, it didn't look like it was only worth five hundred taels!
"Don't look at it, this medical hall is not an old man's." After speaking, the old man took out a key from his arms, called Chai Hu and asked him to go to his room to get the box at the head of the bed.
After a while, a sandalwood box that had been ground out of the pulp was taken by the fellow named Chai Hu, and placed it in front of the old man, who looked at the box in front of him and touched it, and finally took out a key to open it, and in addition to some manuscripts, there were three small gold ingots and some broken silver.
Old Man Huang grabbed the gold out and slapped it in front of Wu Zheng's eyes, and said: "Thirty taels of gold, you kid put it away, and the rest of the old man Rong will raise it for a few more days, to ensure that no one will be missing you in the future, now bring your artifact to the old man first." ”
Wu Zheng blinked, I really didn't expect this old man to be an impatient, once he made up his mind to sell it, he would pay immediately, but don't you always look at the kid who looks like he is carrying an artifact?
Huang Lao saw Wu Zheng spreading his hands towards him, and said angrily: "Why do you kid want to regret it?" Or is what you kid just said? ”
"Of course what the kid just said isn't, but don't you always look at the kid who looks like he's carrying an artifact? Besides, who has nothing to do with the artifact and wander around in vain? ”
"Then you're not going to get it?"
"How can it be so fast? Since it is an ancestral artifact, why do you have to let the kid eat for a few days and fast, and then bathe and change clothes and burn incense to worship the ancestors, and communicate with the ancestors, don't blame ......"
Before Wu Zheng's words were finished, he was interrupted by the old man: "Okay, you kid just say it!" How many days? ”
"Three days!"
Under the eyes of the old man's desire to choose people to eat, Wu Zheng finalized the delivery time with him.
Old Man Huang didn't know what the hell Wu Zheng was doing, but when he thought that if Wu Zheng's method was really feasible, it would undoubtedly be a gospel for the people of the entire Great Zhou, so why not let this kid toss for two more days for the sake of this gospel?
Wu Zheng, who came out of the medical hall, went to the street to buy a duck, and bought some marinade from the pharmacy, planning to go home today to give his family a duck to taste.
It's just that when he was killing a duck, his aunt saw it, so she snatched the job, saying that Wu Zheng was a scholar and couldn't do such a job.
Wu Zheng knew that this was all caused by the words of the gentleman Yuan's cook, and his old Wu family didn't eat enough of the hardships of the scholars? Even if the old Wu family was not a big family in Yuzhou, it was also a rich family, wasn't it because of the name of a scholarly family that a good rich family was ruined into today's empty appearance?
But these truths don't make sense to my aunt, and there are not a few people like my aunt who are too poisoned by feudal ideology in this generation, so in order not to make my aunt sad, Wu Zheng has to let her come.
But you can't throw away the duck you killed, and you have to rely on it to buy fifty taels of gold!
This made the aunt laugh for a while, and she wanted to sell a duck intestine for fifty taels of gold, how could there be such a good thing in the world.
As a result, the duck intestines were thrown away by the aunt without accident, but they were secretly picked up by Wu Zheng and cleaned up in the river behind the alley alone.
Then the cleaned duck intestines are put on the charcoal fire with willow branches, waiting for it to dry slowly, and then take a bamboo tube to make a tee and a pair of stethoscope ears and probes, and wait for the duck intestines to be thoroughly dried and then connect these three things with duck intestines, which is an earthen stethoscope.
When all this is done, it will be at least two days later, so Wu Zheng, who had dinner, went to the inn in Xicheng to find Seinfeld, and told her his thoughts on dealing with Tian Bangde, to see if he could let Old Man Liu go back to the cottage first, he was very worried that if this continued, Old Man Liu would freeze to death by the river.
Coming to the inn, Wu Zheng came to Seinfeld's room with a familiar car, and outside the door, he could hear Xiang'er chirping inside.
Wu Zheng knocked on the door, and it was Seinfeld who opened the door, and when he saw Wu Zheng's little face, he couldn't help but blush: "Xianggong, you are here." ”
"Why aren't you going to let me in and sit? I have a lot to say to you today. Wu Zheng smiled.
Seinfeld was stunned for a moment, then blushed again and said, "Dengzi, Uncle Liu is inside!" ”
After speaking, he invited Wu Zheng, who was about to stretch out his head to look inside, and saw Liu Wen sitting inside, who had only been seen for a few days, and the whole person had already aged a circle, and his face looked worse than he imagined.
"Uncle Liu, your old man is fine! How did you get this? ”
