Chapter 742: Shopkeeper Song
Uncle Wang was taken aback, so he had to follow the man across a street to the door of a drugstore. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The people who grabbed the medicine in the info store kept coming and going, and a few guys were busy, and the guys greeted the middle-aged man one after another.
Only then did Uncle Wang know that this person's surname was Song, and he was the shopkeeper of this Song family pharmacy.
Shopkeeper Song handed over the prescription to a guy and instructed him to grab the medicine for Uncle Wang.
After reading it, the guy's face was embarrassed, and he said: "Fine Xin, Fengfeng, Qin Pi, Coptis chinensis, and Ruiren are all easy to say, but this Persian salt green, Nanzhao stone gall, there is only a little bit left in the store, and it is reserved for Wang Shilang......"
Shopkeeper Song said: "Now that you can manage this, you can just take it all out." Wang Shilang's medicine was delayed for two days, just give it to him. ”
The man had to agree, grabbed the three pairs of medicines neatly, stuffed the paper bag into Uncle Wang's hand, and said, "Take it, the medicine primers are all prepared for you, go home and fry them quickly." ”
Uncle Wang was still in a daze, and stammered: "But, but I don't have any money." ”
The man looked at him and said, "Who asked you for money?" Our shopkeeper will give you this medicine for free. ”
Uncle Wang never dreamed that there was such a good thing, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and a patient next to him saw this, and said with a smile: "There is such a good thing in the world, I am an old patient, in the early years, I tossed all the money in the family for treatment, and then when I stretched my legs and was ready to die, I met the shopkeeper Song, he gave me medicine for free, I haven't paid a penny for a few years, and the estimated price of the medicine taken from the store is dozens of taels of silver." ”
Uncle Wang is an honest man, he really hasn't done this kind of thing for nothing, and then said: "Otherwise, I'll write an IOU to Shopkeeper Song." ”
The patient looked at Wang Bodao and said, "Forget it." You write it in vain. Do you think I'm embarrassed to take it for nothing? At first, I also made an IOU, but guess what, the shopkeeper Song burned my IOU. Later, I learned that he had to clear the IOUs at the end of the year. Those IOUs were written by people who had no money to catch medicine at that time, of course, some of them may have paid back later, but more of them are poor people like you and me, who have worked hard for a year and can't pay for medicine. ”
Uncle Wang was grateful and happy when he heard this, picked up the medicine and said goodbye and went home.
After taking a few doses of medicine, Wang Bolian felt that it was somewhat effective and immediately returned to work.
In recent days, Uncle Liu, who had worked in the village with Uncle Wang for many years, had a headache, and Uncle Wang saw that he was in great pain, so he told him how he had sought medical treatment, and persuaded him to go to the West Market to find the shopkeeper Song. However, Uncle Liu has always refused to go, but came to Fuhe Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings, hoping that with the help of the great virtue of the monks, he could be cured of the disease, but there has been no improvement.
And Zhang Bao'er and they came to Fuhe Temple to play, and they happened to hear their conversation.
……
After listening to Uncle Wang, Zhang Baoer knew that it was not Song Langzhong who was talking about the shopkeeper of Song. However, Zhang Baoer had a strong interest in the Song shopkeeper in Uncle Wang's mouth.
"That's it, I'll accompany the two uncles tomorrow, and I also want to meet this shopkeeper Song!"
In the west city of Chang'an, Tang Dynasty, there are 220 rows and tens of thousands of shops, including medicine, jewelry, and catering. Among the many industries, the pharmaceutical industry is very developed.
The West Market is crowded with merchants from all over the world who are engaged in the business of medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials handled by Hu merchants occupy the largest market share. Most of the medicines they sell are some precious and rare medicinal materials, many of which are rarely seen on weekdays, and are mostly used by the emperor's relatives and wealthy merchants. For the lower-class ordinary people, there is only one good place for them to buy medicine and see a doctor, that is, the Song family pharmacy in Xishi, and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy is Song Xuecheng, who has helped many sick and poor people here.
Zhang Baoer deliberately changed into a subordinate today's clothes, and when she arrived at the door of the Song family's pharmacy, Zhang Baoer repeatedly told Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu not to reveal their identities, only saying that they were tenants like them.
Uncle Wang and Uncle Liu didn't know what Zhang Baoer was going to do, but the owner told them, and they had to do it.
After Song Xuecheng heard that Uncle Wang said what happened, he didn't show any impatience at all, and said to Uncle Liu with a pleasant face: "If you are sick, you must see it, and you can't drag it out." Your illness is not serious, just take a few pairs of Chinese medicine. ”
Song Xuecheng pondered and prescribed a prescription for Uncle Liu, and instructed the guy to catch a few pairs of medicine for him for free, and he didn't want an IOU. Uncle Liu was grateful and wanted to kneel down for Song Xuecheng, but was stopped by Song Xuecheng.
Song Xuecheng looked at Uncle Wang's eyes again and said to him, "Although the medicine you took last time was somewhat effective, it has not completely eliminated the root of the disease. ”
After listening to this, Uncle Wang asked: "What Shopkeeper Song said is good, I feel that my vision is a little blurry these days, and I don't know what to do." ”
Song Xuecheng comforted him and said, "You don't have to worry. I know a Lang Zhong surnamed Zhou, who lives in the mountains on the outskirts of the city dozens of miles to the east, specializes in treating people's eyes, and uses acupuncture techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation, which is very effective. I guess your eye barrier can be removed with acupuncture. You have to go to him, put my name on him, and he will definitely treat you. ”
Uncle Wang was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked him again and again.
Zhang Baoer has not been angry on the side, he witnessed all this with his own eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional: This Song Xuecheng is a strange person, and he is also a person who does great things, on the surface his good deeds seem to be a loss, but in fact he has gained a lot of profits. More and more people came to him for medicine, and so did he respond to people's requests. Some people who were discriminated against and abandoned by relatives and friends due to illness, or poor people like Uncle Wang, Song Xuecheng treated them equally, and never treated them with snobbery. Once some of them develop or come to power again, they will repay Song Xuecheng more generously. Therefore, Song Xuecheng is much richer than those short-sighted, mercenary quacks. ”
On the second day, Zhang Baoer and Uncle Hua accompanied Uncle Wang straight into the mountain to find Zhou Langzhong.
Zhang Baoer and the three of them trekked all the way to find Langzhong's house surnamed Zhou, only to see a simple three-room thatched hut, full of Chinese medicinal materials in front of the house and behind the house, and Zhou Langzhong was crooked in front of the kang holding a medicine book to enjoy himself.
Uncle Wang reported Song Xuecheng's name, and Zhou Langzhong immediately opened his eyes, invited Uncle Wang to sit down, and carefully healed him. Uncle Wang didn't feel anything, only felt that his eyes were cool and cool, and after Lang Zhong gave him needles, he wrapped his eyes with a thin soft cloth strip, and left him in the mountains for two nights. Lang Zhong is really a magic needle, and after removing the cloth strip on the third day, Uncle Wang's eyes can really see things clearly.
Uncle Wang wanted to pay Zhou Langzhong money, but Lang Zhong insisted that he would not accept it: "Shopkeeper Song said that his consultation fee will be paid by him." ”
Zhou Langzhong just asked Uncle Wang to take a bag back to Chang'an for Song Xuecheng when he left, and they came to the Song family pharmacy again, Uncle Wang took a cloth bag from his back and took out all the things inside, which turned out to be a bag of Chinese medicinal materials.
