Chapter 27: Famous Doctors Sitting in the Hall
Pandas are talkative, and if they say they quit drinking, they will quit drinking. He simply returned the unfinished wine to the innkeeper and poured himself a bowl of hot soup.
The village of Kalipura is not wealthy, and naturally there is no fancy food in the hotel. But today's broth is very different, and when it is still boiling in the pot, it exudes an unusually strong aroma, so that everyone who passes by can't help but twitch their nose and smell it twice. At this moment, when the boss finally opened the soup pot and scooped out the mellow milky broth, the aroma seemed to have wings and hooks, drilling into everyone's nostrils and hooking their stomachs.
"What kind of soup is this?
"I'm hungry...... I just had breakfast......"
"I can't stand it, I'm going to drink a bowl too!"
One by one, the villagers poured into the hotel, and even the iron roosters, who were usually unflickered, couldn't help but rush to the counter to buy a bowl of broth.
The innkeeper didn't immediately agree, but turned his head to look at the panda.
"If they want to eat, they give it to them. The panda smiled and waved his hand nonchalantly, "That wolf king has caused so much trouble to everyone, and it is also appropriate to invite everyone to drink a bowl of good soup at the end." ”
Only then did the villagers know that the original fragrant broth was stewed with the meat of the wolf king!
In fact, it's not just the wolf king's meat, there are pork bones, beef bones, wolf bones, and the wolf king's brain in that pot of soup.
Throwing the wolf king's brain into the pot to stew soup is the idea of sleeplessness. He felt that this guy was also a beast close to the level of a monster, and his brain must have more nutrients than ordinary beasts, and after treating it with some herbs and making sure that all possible toxins and fishy smells were eliminated, he gave the wolf brain that had become like tofu scum to the innkeeper, and asked the boss to stew it into the soup as well.
The innkeeper didn't have a problem with this, he used to use internal organs and brains when he stewed the broth, and as long as there was a way to get rid of the excessively strong fishy smell, these things were far more delicious than just meat.
The Wolf King is no exception.
Smelling the rich aroma, almost the entire village of Kalipura gathered in addition to those who were too tired to travel after a busy night's work. The innkeeper did not take the opportunity to increase the price, and still sold it at the price of ordinary broth. So after a while, the hall on the ground floor of the hotel was crowded with people, drinking soup and eating meat one by one, even if they were sweating profusely, they were reluctant to put down the bowl in their hands.
Some people come early, eat quickly, and after a while, a bowl has been eaten, so they ask the boss to buy another bowl. The boss shook his head and told them that the adventurer who provided the materials had said that although this thing was good, they should not eat too much.
"Just eat a little more broth, you won't have a problem. "There are gluttons who say so.
But the boss just shook his head and resolutely refused to give them more.
He is also a figure with a head and face in this village, except for the village chief, he is almost the highest status. He insisted that he only sell one copy per person, and the gourmets couldn't think about it, so they could only reluctantly disperse.
Just as they were out the door, Panda and Ankh finished their share of soup and followed.
They went to the village chief's house and saw the village chief, who had just slept for a while, but was awakened by the aroma of broth.
"This is my friend, named Anka. Panda told the village chief, "It's a doctor." ”
The village chief was stunned and looked at Anka curiously.
In this world, doctors are a relatively rare profession. If ordinary people are sick, minor illnesses can only be solved by themselves, and most serious illnesses are treated by going to the temple to find a priest to help treat them. There are not many doctors who do not use divine powers and rely solely on medicine to treat diseases.
Probably...... Only in areas where the Druidic sect has a greater influence do the number of doctors increase slightly.
After greeting the village chief, Anka said that he wanted to practice medicine in the village for a while. The village chief was pleasantly surprised by this and immediately agreed.
In addition to fighting and doing quests, people can also gain experience points through other channels depending on their career direction. For example, pandas can gain experience through training, sleepless people can gain experience by reading books, and Anka can gain experience by treating people.
This method of gaining experience unique to the medical department is really effective, and if enough patients treat him, he may be able to level up faster than someone who works hard every day.
But only if there are so many sick people.
In the village of Kalipura, of course, there can't be many patients.
After saying goodbye to the village chief, Anka returned to the hotel and sat down in the hall. He examined one patient after another, and it only took a little more than an hour to treat all seven patients who had come to the hotel to see him.
It's just that the herbs that Ankh prescribed to them were somewhat strange, neither wonderful herbs nor strange paste, but very common wild herbs, condiments and the like.
"Doctor, these things...... Can it cure diseases?" a curious young man couldn't help but ask, after looking at it for a long time.
Ankh smiled and said, "The history of these things being used as medicines is far earlier than any other school of medicine. Before humans appeared, many wild beasts relied on them to heal their diseases. Beasts can use it, and of course people can use it, but it's just a matter of adjusting the dosage. ”
As he spoke, he was slightly stunned and stopped.
The history of medicine on earth is certainly not right in this world.
Thinking of this, he sighed softly, shook his head, and said, "There is no point in talking about history, as a doctor, you just need to pay attention to the patients in front of you." Most of them are nothing more than cold and heat, or indigestion. These are common diseases, and it is enough to use these herbs. ”
He smiled and looked at the curious young man, "I see that you are quite interested in these, do you want to learn medical skills from me?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, first nervous because he was exposed to the small abacus in his heart, and then he was overjoyed and nodded again and again.
Doctors are a respected profession, and although they are not as good as the priests with mystical powers, it is much cheaper for ordinary people to see a doctor when they are sick than to find a priest. A visit to the temple requires at least a donation and a good relationship with the priesthood in order to be treated—which means that only those who are able to attend Church regularly and donate at least once a year may be eligible for temple treatment.
If you look for a doctor, the consultation fee plus the cost of medicine will not be more than the donation from the temple. The only problem is that there are too few doctors and the supply exceeds the supply.
For those young people who are smart but lack talent, there is no better craft than studying medicine.
However, there are too few doctors, and even fewer doctors are willing to teach their disciples, so although the Church of the Gods does not discriminate against doctors, the profession of doctors has never been able to develop.
Just like today, Anka treated a total of eight patients - including Seri Jr. But there was only one young man who wanted to learn medicine from him.
It's not that everyone doesn't want to learn, but no one thought that Anka would be willing to accept apprentices and teach his own medical skills.
In contrast, there are ten young people who are waiting in the open space that has become a temporary training ground, wanting to learn from Panda and learn martial arts skills from him!
