Chapter Ninety-Nine: Huairentang

Back in the rented courtyard, Liu Xiu could vaguely hear the voice of Shang Songnian next door being reprimanded by his wife, similar to you actually giving me a look to see if I was bold.

It seems good to have a noisy but unwavering person for the company of your whole life......

Shaking his head, Liu Xiu put aside these things that were still far away for him and began to get busy, first boiling up the medicines that needed to be taken the next day, and then taking advantage of the night to come to the small courtyard, remove the stone table weighing hundreds of catties, dig a hole in the ground, wrap the gold coins and medical books and bury them, and then restore the stone table to its original state.

Tomorrow he is going to the hospital with Shang Songnian, it is inconvenient to carry these things, in order to prevent stealing, he can only do so.

Early the next morning, after Liu Xiu finished practicing self-cultivation, he heard the movement of Shang Songnian going out next door, and he also packed up and appeared at the door of the small courtyard he rented.

"Wake up so early every day?" Shang Songnian closed the door of his yard and looked at Liu Xiu with a smile.

Although the two have only known each other for less than two days, Shang Songnian is a kind person, and Liu Xiu is not an arrogant person, but the two sides get along well, as if they have been in contact for many years.

Liu Xiu took two steps forward, put the medicine box that Shang Songnian put at his feet and carried it on his back and said: "I'm used to getting up early, and I can't sleep when the time comes."

"Well, this is a good habit, the rising sun is the beginning of the day, and the human body is also like all things to change its vitality, maintaining this habit will naturally prolong life, let's go, follow me to the hospital" Shang Songnian stroked his beard and said.

Liu Xiu took the initiative to help him carry the medicine box, but he didn't say anything, but obviously this kind of behavior made him quite satisfied, and many times, a person's character can be seen from some small details.

"Sir, you don't seem to be resting well?" Seeing Shang Songnian yawning, Liu Xiu opened his mouth to ask, in fact, he already understood what was going on in his heart.

Shang Songnian said with a smile: "It's not the medical book you gave me to make trouble, although I only read part of it, but I can't sleep at night."

"The medical book has been given to Mr., you can read it at any time, why rush for a while, you should focus on your body," Liu Xiu kindly reminded.

Shang Songnian said with a smile: "You little guy has taught me a lesson, of course I know that the body is important, but the content of the medical book really shocked me, as a doctor, you will understand my mood in the future, such a medical book, that is a treasure book that can live countless people, I really can't wait to eat it immediately and comprehend it thoroughly, but it's a pity that people are old, they can only take their time, it's a pity ......"

In the end, Shang Songnian wanted to speak and stopped, but he shook his head and didn't say anything specific.

Of course, Liu Xiu knew what he was sorry for, and what he regretted should be that there was only one medical book, after all, the medical book he gave him from the cover was not complete.

Although he has not been in contact with Shang Songnian for a long time, Liu Xiu has almost figured out his heart, he really regards himself as a doctor, and the mind of 'doctor's parents' is not something that can be pretended to be simple.

Give him the rest of the medical books, Liu Xiu believes that he will be able to play the role of medical books, but Liu Xiu is not in a hurry to do this, he can't sleep at night with just one book, if he gives him 'all' and doesn't know what will happen, take your time, anyway, there is still half a month to do.

"Sir, I was hanging out in front yesterday, and a noodle restaurant made quite good noodles, why don't you stop by for a bite to eat?" Liu Xiu changed the subject.

Shang Songnian shook his head and said: "That's not necessary, the medical hall provides breakfast food, and the nourishing herbs are added, the taste may be average, but it is more beneficial to yourself than simply satisfying your appetite."

Liu Xiu nodded, no longer insisting on eating outside.

Then Shang Songnian said: "We are not masters and apprentices, you don't have to be too restrained, in the next half a month, I will try my best to guide you to the way of medicine, how much you can learn depends on your creation, I am one of the three sitting physicians in Huairentang, there are still some privileges, and then I will arrange for you to enter Huairentang as an apprentice, although it is only half a month, but your salary will not be less, you don't postpone, I know that you may not be bad for money, but that is what you deserve."

"It's all up to Mr. to arrange," Liu Xiu responded.

Shang Songnian nodded and said: "Next, I want to say some precautions, you keep it in mind, after going to the hospital, watch more, listen more, arrange your things to act quickly, don't meddle indiscriminately if you don't understand, after all, the medical hall is a place where human life is at stake, just ask me about anything afterwards, you are arranged by me, if something happens, you and I will be responsible, the responsibility is small, if there is an accident that causes the patient to aggravate, whether it is for the patient or the owner, we are not easy to explain"

"Sir, don't worry, the juniors know the severity," Liu Xiu nodded.

I could hear that Liu Xiu really remembered his words, and Shang Songnian didn't say anything anymore.

The two walked for more than half an hour in the beautiful Wanhua City before they came to Huairentang, which is located in a bustling street and is a large three-story building.

Shang Songnian introduced this place to Liu Xiu on the road before, Huairentang has a shopkeeper, who is responsible for coordinating all kinds of things, he doesn't know who the owner is, even if he has practiced medicine here for most of his life, he has only seen the owner a few times, or different people.

Under the shopkeeper are the three sitting doctors, Shang Songnian is one of them, the three sitting doctors can be described as the pillars of Huairen Hall, although Shang Songnian said it lightly, but Liu Xiu knows that in fact, they have a lot of power, and they sit in the hospital separately in different time periods, and they usually supervise other people, and only when they encounter major patients, others will not be able to take action.

Under the sitting physician, there are also various departments, such as those who grasp medicine, boil medicine, procure, manage hospitalization, serve patients, and so on.

There are more than 400 people in the entire Huairentang, and according to Shang Songnian, Huairentang is already one of the four largest medical halls in Wanhua City.

"The old man is good"

"Shang Lao is coming"

"Doctor Shang, if you can, wait a minute, please help me take a serious look, I always feel that something is wrong......

Shang Songnian is still very respected here, and since he came to the medical hall, people have been constantly greeting him, and he has also responded with a smile.

However, Liu Xiu was keenly aware that after Shang Songnian came to the medical hall, although he was smiling, he had a trace of majesty on his body, which was not overbearing at all, and should be the self-confidence cultivated in his bones after decades of practicing medicine.

In fact, no matter which line of work, a person's temperament will be subtly changed after reaching the top, just like Liu Xiu used to be, in his own company, although with a smile, few people dared to look at him head-on, and then put down everything to travel around, and under the subtle influence of nature, he gradually converged that momentum, and now it is no different from ordinary people.

The people from Huairentang saw Liu Xiu following him, but although they were curious, they didn't ask anything.

Next, Shang Songnian first took Liu Xiu to the back for breakfast, steamed bread and gruel and pickles, as Shang Songnian said, the taste is bland, but after adding nourishing herbs, eating it actually makes people warm and energetic.

'This Huairentang still has real skills, this medicinal diet alone is not ordinary, and the tonic effect may not even be as good as one percent of my prescription, but this is just ordinary food, not that Huairentang's prescription is inferior to himself, but this ordinary meal alone really has its merits, and it is difficult for ordinary people to eat', after eating breakfast, feeling the feeling of warmth all over Liu Xiu said secretly in his heart.

He never underestimated anyone in the world, people are not omnipotent, and there must be merit in others in areas that he does not understand.

Subsequently, Shang Songnian took Liu Xiu to find an old man who looked only a few years younger than him, this old man Shang Songnian had told Liu Xiu before, he was the person in charge of Huairentang's management of the medicine cabinet, and he was also the person with the best ability to grasp and distinguish medicines, named Zhao Zhihong.

After explaining his intentions and greeting him a little, Shang Songnian said: "Brother Zhao, in this case, Xiao Liu will be handed over to you."

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it," Zhao Zhihong nodded.

Shang Songnian looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Xiao Liu, you will follow him next, I still have things to deal with, just listen to him."

"Well, don't worry, sir," Liu Xiu nodded.

After Shang Songnian left, Zhao Zhihong looked at Liu Xiu and said: "You come with me, then I will take you to get two sets of clothes, the hospital is different from other places, the same set of clothes can not be worn for two days, you need to change and wash frequently, you only need to put the clothes in a fixed place, there will be someone to clean, and when you take it, it is also there, and then I will arrange for you to go to the medicine cabinet, I don't care what the relationship between you and Brother Shang is, remember not to interfere in anything, go to the medicine cabinet to identify the medicinal materials yourself, and be careful not to interfere with others, We have 4,864 kinds of medicinal materials in Huai Ren Tang, which are stored in the medicine cabinet, when can you remember and distinguish the storage location of each medicinal material, let me know, and I will arrange other matters for you."

After listening to his admonition, Liu Xiu carefully noted down and nodded his head, and it could be heard that Huairentang was still very strict about medicine, and the hygiene alone made Liu Xiu look sideways, even the most ordinary apprentices need to change their clothes every day, which subverted Liu Xiu's previous perception of this world medicine.

There is also the performance of their duties, people in different fields must not meddle in other matters, doctors see a doctor and prescribe medicine, catch the medicine on the medicine, boil the medicine on the medicine, to avoid the layman to interfere indiscriminately and cause accidents.

Zhao Zhihong said seriously, in fact, there are only two things, health and Liu Xiu's next arrangement, he didn't know that Liu Xiu would only stay here for half a month, so he didn't say too much, after all, in his cognition, it would take a long time just to memorize those thousands of medicinal materials.

Then Liu Xiu took two sets of clothes with him, the fabric of the clothes was ordinary, it was cyan, including hats, underwear and shoes and socks, it was brand new, but it was also carefully cleaned, and even Liu Xiu smelled some kind of medicinal herbs on these two sets of clothes, which was probably for disinfection.

After receiving the clothes, Zhao Zhihong asked Liu Xiu to go to the washing place, and washed his whole body with a kind of medicinal powder before letting him put on his apprentice clothes and come to the medicine cabinet.

From the time Liu Xiu followed Shang Songnian to Huairentang, it took nearly two hours before and after.

The medicine cabinet is not in the consultation hall of Huai Ren Tang, but in a large single room at the back, where there are many medicine cabinets set up in rows, the individual medicine cabinet is about one meter and a half high, and is divided into a uniform small drawer, in which the medicinal materials are placed, and the name of the medicinal materials is marked outside the drawer.

At this time, it was not early, and when Zhao Zhihong brought Liu Xiu here, there were already dozens of people shuttling between the medicine cabinets with prescriptions to grab medicines.

"Xiao Liu, next you are here to identify the medicinal materials, remember not to hinder others, you can open any drawer, but you must not let different medicinal materials mix, you have to remember this, do you know? Something happened is not a joke, well, there is one more thing I have to tell you, there are a lot of precious medicinal materials here, you must remember not to steal, there is an inventory every day, if you find the phenomenon of theft, you will be expelled from Huairentang, and you will have to pay the price of your life, we have a warrior in Huairentang, you have to keep this in mind! After coming here, Zhao Zhihong admonished with a serious face.

"Don't worry, Elder Zhao, I know it's a powerful relationship," Liu Xiu nodded seriously.

"Well, that's fine, I'll go over there, if you have something, go directly to me" Zhao Zhihong nodded, and then turned to leave, he was in charge of the entire 'medicine cabinet', there were a lot of things, and it had been a lot of time to arrange Liu Xiu.

Looking at the entire dense medicine cabinet, Liu Xiu knew that if there was no Shang Songnian, I am afraid that if he wants to enter here, he doesn't know how many tests he will have to go through, after all, there are many precious medicinal materials here, how can it be that a person can touch it at will?

"Thousands of medicinal herbs, then let's start, remember to learn other ...... early," Liu Xiu muttered in his mouth, and immediately walked to the first medicine cabinet......

(The stone doesn't get stuck in the plot, and I don't want to deliberately disrupt the rhythm of the whole high C because of the shelf, please understand, well, finally ask for a monthly pass, and it seems too late to ask for the first booking in this position...... )
