Chapter 3: The Country Nobleman
The next morning, after Jin Qing got up, she went out with the medicine box on her back, and the box contained the multigrain cakes that Mama Liu got up early in the morning to give her Kang, wrapped them in a cage cloth, and kept them for her to eat when she was hungry for a long time.
The job of a bell doctor has a low starting point, but it can only make a living hard money, and it is really not easy to make a lot of money. Jin Qing rang the bell and walked all morning, but no one stopped him to buy medicine, which is also a common thing, ordinary peasant families, how can they be so delicate, and they all carry the minor illnesses and pains by themselves.
When it was close to noon, Jin Qing walked to a Zhuangzi, and the appearance was very good, with blue bricks and red tiles, and the courtyard wall was also built in a high style, Jin Qing had not been here before, and it was estimated that it was the landlord's house.
Jin Qing sighed silently, where would anyone from the landlord's house come to her to buy medicine, and when she passed by the door of Zhuangzi with a bell, Jin Qing saw seven or eight men dressed as long-term workers sitting in the shade of the tree at the door with their clothes open.
One of the men saw Jin Qing and couldn't help laughing: "Huh? Little girl, are you a bell doctor? ”
Jin Qing didn't want to pay attention to these people, it didn't seem like he was going to see a doctor at all, but remembering that he hadn't earned a copper plate today, he still turned around and asked, "Yes, is there anything that needs my treatment?" Cure-all! ”
A duck-like voice sounded at the door, "Who are you fooling?" A girl can also heal? ”
Jin Qing looked back, but it was a young man dressed in royal blue satin, with pimples on his face, looking like he was thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was looking at himself with disdain on his waist. Jin Qing was surprised to find that the young man's eyes were slightly blue.
Seven or eight idlers saw that the young man disdained Jinqing, and they also laughed in agreement.
When the young man in Chinese clothes saw Jin Qing staring at his face, he was immediately annoyed and angry, and shouted, "What are you looking at? Beware of the master cleaning you up! ”
Jin Qing calmly retracted his gaze, thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys are in puberty, excess sebum secretion, and it is normal to have acne on his face. He is a rich man with a short temper, we can't afford to mess with him, and I don't have the same knowledge as him.
From the moment Jinqing decided to do this business, she knew that there would definitely be people who didn't believe in herself, if she saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl practicing medicine in her previous life, she would definitely think that she was a charlatan like "XX Divine Doctor".
Jin Qing saw that these people didn't look like they were going to buy medicine, so she continued to ring the bell and prepared to leave, there were still a few Zhuangzi in front of her who had not been there, she wanted to earn the money to build the stove house before the wheat harvest, and the task was urgent.
"Wait!" A man blocked Jinqing's way.
Jin Qing stuck her waist and asked with an unkind face, "What do you want to do?" ”
The man was about twenty years old, with a dark face like an egg, wearing a narrow-sleeved robe, and his dirty sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and he smiled: "Aren't you a bell doctor?" Look at my finger, can you cure it? He raised the index finger of his right hand as he spoke.
The idlers who were watching the excitement on the side suddenly burst into laughter, and some people laughed and scolded: "Old Seven, you are really delicate, you have to find a doctor to see a doctor if you cut some skin, it is more expensive than that young lady!" ”
The young man named Lao Qi turned around triumphantly and sneered: "Today I want to be a handful of gold, please let the little doctor show me!" ”
Jin Qing looked at his index finger that had a cut and was bleeding non-stop, frowned and asked, "What kind of cut did you have?" ”
Lao Qi didn't expect Jin Qing to take it seriously, how can a countryman be so delicate, who takes it seriously if he cuts his skin and leaves some blood? ! It's all about sprinkling ashes to stop the bleeding.
Seeing Jin Qing looking at him with a serious face, his dark eyes, and long eyelashes flashing like a small fan, Lao Qi was embarrassed, he originally just wanted to squeeze Jin Qing.
Lao Qi scratched the back of his head with his intact left hand and squeaked: "I was cut when I was sorting out last year's sickle." ”
Jin Qing looked at the sickle thrown aside, it was covered with black slag-like rust, and it was easy to deposit germs on the dirty sharp weapon, if it was not handled well, it was very likely to be infected with tetanus, and a small cut was enough to kill a man in the prime of life.
And the men who were about to watch Jin Qing's jokes on the side saw that this young man actually blushed in front of Jin Qing, and clapped their hands and laughed together.
Lao Qi is a single, where has he passed this formation, he is even more embarrassed, his face turned red and waved his hand in the laughter of everyone, and said to Jinqing: "I don't see this little injury, I don't look at it!" ”
"You just stopped people and asked them to treat you, how can you regret it?"
Just as Jin Qing was about to leave, the young man in Chinese costume who was watching the excitement on the side opened his mouth coldly, Jin Qing looked back, and there was a long and jade boy next to the young man in Chinese costumes, sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a black saro head, wearing a moon-white robe, and there was a vigorous and heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and the whole person stood there with his own momentum.
After Jin Qing crossed over, he basically saw some raunchy peasant men, Rao is the last life to see too many handsome male stars on TV, at this moment I can't help but praise this son in my heart, what a handsome son.
Childe is good-looking, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with him, Jin Qing glanced at it and then withdrew his eyes. And the young man in Chinese clothes on the side, seeing Jin Qing staring intently at the son beside him, snorted stupidly, and turned his face away to stop looking at the group of people in front of him.
The beautiful boy patted the young man in fancy clothes on the shoulder, shook his head with a smile and said, "Ah Cheng, you are messing around again." ”
The young man named Ah Cheng said unconvinced: "I am doing chivalrous righteousness, since I have found someone to see a doctor, how can I regret it when I see half of it, isn't this bullying other little girls!" ”
The main family has spoken, where is the reason for the subordinates to regret it, Ah Qi hurriedly blocked in front of Jin Qing who was leaving, and asked Jin Qing to treat his wounds, the salary given by the Ye family is not tired of working more, and the young masters who provoked him for this little thing have opinions about him, so it can't be drawn.
Jin Qing was worried that it had not opened today, and there was a reason to refuse if there was a business, so he immediately removed the medicine box on his back and opened it on the ground.
Everyone gathered around curiously to see, and even the young man in gorgeous clothes came forward curiously to see how Jin Qing treated Ah Qi's injuries.
Jin Qing first rinsed Ah Qi's wound with water, and then took out a clay pot from the bamboo box, as soon as he pulled the stopper of the clay pot, a rich fragrance spread, intoxicating, Ah Qi took a deep breath, and asked in surprise: "Is this the fragrance of wine?" ”
In this era, there was only rice wine brewed by the local method, and the rice wine was mixed with impurities, which looked turbid and low in content, and there was no technology for distilling liquor, so if you wanted to drink alcohol, you had to filter it with a cloth, which was called "sieving wine".
It took Jin Qing a few days of hard work, but he only distilled the high alcohol of such a small clay pot.
As soon as the rest of the farmers heard the wine, their saliva immediately flowed, seeing that Jin Qing did not deny it, they knew that it must be wine, and they were talking around Jin Qing to sell the wine in this clay pot to them, Jin Qing smiled silently, such a high concentration of alcohol, drinking iron will definitely cause an accident, she does not want to cause trouble, and hates alcoholics very much, and she can't make trouble for herself to make this money.
Seeing that Jin Qing was silent, everyone gradually lost interest, and only watched Jin Qing's movements intently. Only the boy took a deep look at Jin Qing, and then quietly followed everyone to watch what Jin Qing did next.
Jin Qing washed Ah Qi's rinsed fingers with alcohol again, Ah Qi didn't expect that the salivating wine flowing from the smell would hurt so much on the wound, and he bared his teeth for a long time.
Before everyone could react, Jin Qing had already wrapped Ah Qi's wound with a strip of cloth and tied a beautiful bow.
In her previous life, Jinqing had done a lot of animal experiments in the laboratory, and bandaging or something, it was difficult for her.
"This bag is not packed, it feels really different!" Looking at Ah Qi, who was amazed at his fingers, Jin Qing stretched out a hand towards him expressionlessly, "Five big money." ”
Ah Qi suddenly exploded, "You can wash your bags casually for five big money, and I don't need money to sprinkle incense ashes on it!" ”
The people around them were also amazed, how much was their daily salary, this little girl's technique was novel, but she wanted a little more.
Jin Qing sighed, knowing that it was hopeless to ask for money, so she packed up the medicine box and carried it back on her back, just today she has done good deeds, distilled liquor or something, the cost is too high, it seems that it is really impractical to want to use this in the countryside.
"Wait!" The young man named Ah Cheng jumped up, pointed at Ah Qi and shouted, "You kid is against the sky!" Dare to bully men and women on the master's territory? ”
The son on the side looked helplessly at Ah Cheng, who was jumping on his feet angrily, where is it used to bully men and women like this. The beautiful boy stepped forward and said to Ah Qi: "Since the girl has already helped you diagnose and treat, how can you rely on the debt?" ”
"That's it! Master, I can't get used to people like you the most! Ah Cheng shouted, "Don't pay the consultation fee soon, beware of the master letting you roll up and get out!" ”
Where did Ah Qi dare to offend these two gods, he took out five big coins from his chest pocket and put them in Jin Qing's hands.
Jin Qing smiled gratefully at the two sons, if it weren't for them, they would definitely be doing day jobs this time. The summer weather is hot, the tip of Jinqing's nose is drenched in thin sweat, and her face is also red, making five big bucks makes her feel very good, and she shows a mouthful of neat and white teeth when she smiles.
The young man arched his hand towards Jinqing as a return gift, and Ah Cheng looked at the smiling Jinqing for a moment of dizziness, blushed, and twisted: "The master just can't get used to seeing people bullying people, don't think that the master is here to help you!" ”
What an awkward child! Jin Qing turned his head and instructed Ah Qi: "Don't get the wound wet, it should be fine in four or five days." ”
When Jinqing was about to go back, he passed in front of Ah Cheng, hesitated for a moment, took out a small gourd from the medicine box, poured some white powder and wrapped it in straw paper, and handed it to the little young master Ah Cheng.
Ah Cheng took the small paper bag and looked puzzled, "What is this?" ”
Jin Qing said with a smile: "Give it to you, pick a little with your fingernails and soak it in the face wash, it can cure this." As he spoke, Jin Qing pointed to his cheek.
was implicitly pointed out by a little girl of the same age The acne problem on his face, the young Ah Cheng couldn't cross this threshold psychologically, he didn't want it and wanted to cure the acne on his face, which young man didn't love beauty! How many doctors have looked at his face, and only said that the young man is full of hypocrisy, and I don't know how many conditioning medicines he has taken have no effect.
I want it, but I can't pull this face, but before he finished twisting, Jin Qing had already walked away with the medicine box on his back.
