Chapter 7: Temporary Doctor
Du Wenhao's eyes lit up, sitting in the hall, this is an ideal job!
Last night he just wanted to be a pharmacy guy, mainly because he didn't have confidence in himself, but last night's experience in the inn made him more confident, ancient and modern, most of the patients are small problems with headache and brain fever, and the real big diseases are relatively rare, and those small problems can be dealt with by themselves, even if it is a big problem, with his many years of study of traditional Chinese medicine, plus five years of systematic study of formal medical science, even if it is not cured, it will not be treated by mistake, and he can always find a way to treat it, it shouldn't be much of a problem. This is a great opportunity, and there is no time to lose!
Du Wenhao hurriedly put the medicine box on the carriage, lifted the front of the moon-white coarse cloth robe, hurriedly ran to the door of the "Five Flavor Hall", and stepped in. There was only a thin guy in the store who was playing dust with a feather duster, and he didn't see Lin Qingdai's figure. Busy looking left and right, I saw Lin Qingdai sitting on a chair in the wing, holding a cup of gaiwan tea, frowning slightly, looking out the window.
"Shopkeeper Lin!" Du Wenhao greeted and crossed the threshold to enter.
Lin Qingdai looked up and saw that it was him, reluctantly showed a smile, and put down the tea bowl: "It's Du Langzhong, is there something wrong?" ”
In modern society, Du Wenhao has had many experiences of looking for a job, and he has experienced a lot of exam-taking scenes, but after all, this is in ancient times, and when it comes to his future livelihood, his heart is still pounding, arching his hands, and stammering a little: "Shopkeeper Lin, I ......, this, listen to the stupid fat said, Guitang wants to invite a ......, please invite a doctor to sit in the hall, right?" ”
Lin Qingdai seemed to see what Du Wenhao wanted to say, and nodded: "Hmm!" Dr. Chai went back to his hometown. ”
Du Wenhao swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and felt his heart beat faster: "I don't know ......, I don't know if I can have this honor?" ”
Lin Qingdai looked Du Wenhao up and down: "Do you want to apply?" Aren't you a bell doctor? ”
"Doctor Ling is home all over the world, and he is displaced, and he has to be in love, who wants to do this You Fang Langzhong. This time, I met a bandit and almost lost my life, so I wanted to find something to do and live a stable life. Last night I was going to apply for a guy from your hall, but Silly Fat got there first. Hey. ”
Lin Qingdai sighed, and said embarrassedly: "This ......, it's really not a secret, the business of the hall has been relatively light recently, you have also seen it, this opening has been open for an hour, and no patient has come to the door, not even to grab medicine." The main reason is that there is no famous doctor. This time, I made up my mind to hire an experienced doctor, even if it was for a lot of money. Besides, you ......, you are too young to be afraid that patients will not come to you for a look. So ......, sorry! ”
Du Wenhao was a little disappointed, of course he could understand Lin Qingdai's worries. It's no wonder that people are not to blame, and you can only blame yourself for not being young or old. The accuracy of traditional Chinese medicine depends on the doctor's medical experience, unlike Western medicine, which uses various diagnostic instruments and various laboratory conclusions to diagnose what the disease is, so Chinese medicine pays the most attention to the doctor's medical experience and reputation.
If he was someone else, he would have slipped away with a bitter face, and Du Wenhao is a person who does not admit defeat easily, and his many job search experiences in modern society have made him thick-skinned, and with a turn of his brain, he decided to save the country, and asked with a smile: "Has Shopkeeper Lin invited a famous doctor?" ”
"Not yet, it's so easy to hire a famous doctor. I'm wondering about it. ”
"Then ......, before Shopkeeper Lin invites a famous doctor, can you let me sit in your hall for consultation and earn some money? Anyway, before you invite a famous doctor, there is no doctor in the hall to see the disease, and the patient will not come, so it is better to have a doctor than no doctor. Shopkeeper Lin, please rest assured, I have been a doctor since I was a primary school, and I have many years of experience as a bell doctor, so I dare not say that I am a famous doctor who rejuvenates my hands, nor am I a quack doctor who treats headaches and sore feet. When the famous doctor arrived, I didn't need to talk to the shopkeeper Lin, I patted my ass and walked. ”
"That's ......"
Lin Qingdai hesitated a little, after all, the doctor is too important to a pharmacy, there was an unwritten rule for seeing a doctor in ancient times, that is, in which pharmacy the doctor prescribes the prescription, in which pharmacy to pick up the medicine, so there are many patients who seek to see a doctor, and the business of the pharmacy must be good. Lin Qingdai's Wuweitang business is not good, not because the medicinal materials are not good, nor because the price is too expensive, but because there is no good doctor in the hall. That's why Lin Qingdai made up her mind to hire a famous doctor.
If you want to invite Du Wenhao to make a temporary cameo appearance as a sitting doctor, he is too young, I am afraid that no patients will come to the pharmacy to see him, and it will be difficult for the pharmacy's business to look good. Moreover, if the doctor in the hall has mediocre medical skills and makes trouble like the previous Dr. Chai, he will not only lose money, but also affect the reputation of the pharmacy. The main reason why the pharmacy's business is so bad today is that yesterday there was a matter of carrying corpses and making trouble in the hall, and the doctor was going to be tied up to send the official, and the county seat is such a big place, I am afraid that this matter has already spread throughout the city, and if there is something to do, Wuweitang is only closed.
Xue Fei'er followed Du Wenhao in, and when she saw Lin Qingdai hesitating, she was a warm-hearted person, so she came over and said: "Sister Qingdai, Du Lang's traditional Chinese medicine skills are very good, and he is kind-hearted, he received several patients last night, and they all said that he could see accurately, and the bottom was also in place." You just let him try it first, and let him have a place to make some money. When the famous doctor is invited, his entanglement is almost done, and he can continue to be a bell doctor at that time, wouldn't it be mutually beneficial? ”
Lin Qingdai smiled: "You have spoken for him, what else can I say?" Okay, Du Langzhong, before I invite a famous doctor in the hall, I will temporarily hire you as a sitting doctor. ”
Du Wenhao is overjoyed, although this job is only temporary, but after all, it is a beginning, the so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, and with the beginning, there is the possibility of development. He said: "Thank you for the shopkeeper Lin, I will do a good job, rest assured!" ”
Lin Qingdai said: "You should know the rules of the doctor, right?" - You are responsible for seeing the doctor, and you are responsible for picking up the medicine. The consultation fee belongs to you, and the medicine fee belongs to the church, each responsible for its own responsibility, and does not involve each other. The church manages two meals a day, morning and evening, and eats with the guys in the hall, for free, but if you want to open a small stove to eat something good, you can only count it. ”
"I understand all of this."
"Okay, do you have a place to live?"
"Live?" Du Wenhao turned his head to look at Xue Fei'er, thinking that the bungalow in his inn cost five cents a night, which was very cheap, and he was about to speak, but Lin Qingdai said first: "You don't want to live in their inn, it costs money, and it is not a small amount after a long time, if you are not afraid of grievances, you and the guys in the hall will sleep in the bunk." There are only two guys in the hall, and the bunk is relatively large, so they can sleep openly, and they are not crowded. The bedding and everything else are ready-made, and they are all washed. ”
"Thank you so much!" Du Wenhao arched his hand.
Lin Qingdai beckoned all the guys and maids in the hall to come over, there are a total of two guys in Wuweitang who pick up medicine, one is called Silly Fat, who is the fat man who applied for the job yesterday, and he is honest. The other is named Wu Cong, who is relatively thin and thin, studied in private school for a few years when he was a child, and is very clever, but he likes to be a little smart. Both of them are very enthusiastic about Du Wenhao. The other is Lin Qingdai's personal little maid, named Yingzi. There are also two husbands and wives, the old Wang Tou and Aunt Wang, who are responsible for cooking and doing chores, feeding the donkey and setting the car.
Hearing what they said, Xue Fei'er was also very happy: "I found two patients in the morning for Du Langzhong to see the patient, and they all said that they would come back after taking him to see him." ”
Speaking of this matter, Du Wenhao and Xue Fei'er were very excited, after all, it was much better to sit in the pharmacy than Xue Fei'er to find patients for him everywhere.
The first patient introduced by Xue Fei'er was just a cold and cough, which was easy to get, and it didn't take a cup of tea to finish reading, and after the prescription, Xue Fei'er introduced Du Wenhao as a newly hired doctor in the "Wuwei Tang", and the patient's family took the prescription to go to the Wuwei Tang to get medicine. This family is also in business, and they are familiar with Xue Fei'er's family, so they are more generous and give double the consultation fee.
On the way, Du Wenhao asked Xue Fei'er about the practice of collecting consultation fees for sitting in the clinic here, and learned that the general pain was only charged for each consultation fee, and the consultation fee was only five wen per consultation, and the calculation was doubled when the consultation went to the home, and the family gave a total of twenty wen, which made Du Wenhao really feel a bit of a windfall.
They took a donkey cart to the second house in Nancheng, the family was relatively wealthy, the house was quite large, and there were three entrances. There are also several maids and old mothers.
The owner of this house is the county lieutenant Pang County Lieutenant of the county yamen, Pang County Lieutenant did not show up, the housekeeper who received them, and the patient was the nurse of the county lieutenant's youngest son. After Du Wenhao checked it, it was just a small problem in the dermatology department, and there was no difficulty, so he prescribed medicine to take it internally and rub it externally.
The family was also very generous and paid 30 yuan for the consultation. The two families earned 50 yuan, in addition to the 10 yuan donkey car rental fee, there are 40 yuan, which is a small profit, Du Wenhao is very happy.
Just as he was about to go out of the nurse's room, he suddenly heard the servant outside shouting, "The second grandmother is back!" ”
The nurse hurriedly stopped the two of them: "Langzhong, I'm sorry, please avoid it for a while, and wait for the second grandmother to enter the house before going out." ”
The Song Dynasty is one of the most elaborate dynasties in history of feudal etiquette, the owner of this is the county lieutenant, the county lieutenant of the Song Dynasty is in charge of local security and litigation, equivalent to the director of the county public security bureau and the director of the judicial bureau, in the county town that is not a small official, of course, not everyone can see the official family, not to mention the second grandmother of the county lieutenant, that is, the concubine, so it is still necessary to avoid it.
In a moment, I heard the sound of the wheels of the ox cart gurgling and the low snort of the ox outside, and faintly heard the sad cry of the woman and the sigh of the man.
