Chapter Twenty-Five: The Town's Pharmacy
"Finally in town." Huang Bai wiped the sweat from his head.
There were too many people rushing to the market, and before I entered the town, I saw people coming and going, crowding people, and the sound of selling was endless.
Pedestrians are either bargaining for things, or there are vendors pushing things and shouting, which is very lively.
"Third brother, we have to sell the prey that Su Su shot down this morning, and you have to go to the pharmacy to sell medicinal herbs, by the way, I have to inquire about the market, and my brother and sister have to go to the cloth shop to buy cloth, cotton or something.
Why don't we divide into three ways, do our own things well, and then come here to meet and return to the village. Huang Lian saw so many people in the market, he hadn't seen such a lively scene for a long time, and he was a little excited and eager to try.
"Okay! Tiandong and Baizhu, you two will go with your uncle (second uncle) to sell these prey.
Mai Dong, Atractylodes, Aster, Red Peony, and Su Su, you will go to the cloth shop with your little sister-in-law (mother) to take care of the cloth, cotton, and other things, and I will come to you when I have sold the medicinal herbs and made money. Huang Bai saw that his second brother had been a lot more honest during this time, and there were so many people in the family, and it was a waste of time to crowd together to do things and delay things, not to mention things, so he nodded and agreed to his second brother's proposal.
However, in terms of personnel arrangement, he arranged his mature and stable eldest son next to his second brother, staring at his second brother, lest he make any trouble again.
"Dad, I won't go to the cloth shop with my mother, I'll go to the pharmacy with my father!" Huang Shisu had other plans.
There's nothing to visit in a cloth shop or something, so it's better to go to the pharmacy in town.
"Okay, we'll meet here in an hour and go home." Before leaving, Huang Bai gave his eldest son a look.
Bai Shu nodded to his father clearly, and he already knew it.
"Dad, let's walk around the town's market first, and I'll see how the town goes. I bought and sold the most of those items. After everyone left, Huang Zisu said to his father.
"It's okay, the last time I came to the town with the village chief of Zhuang, I hurriedly handled our family settlement and went back, that day was not a market day, and I didn't take a good look at the town, today we also have time, just take a good look at the market." Huang Bai nodded.
Huang Bai walked in front, and when there were too many pedestrians crowded around, Huang Bai would block the crowded pedestrians for Huang Shisu.
It took more than a quarter of an hour for Huang Shisu's father and daughter to finish the market, and Huang Shisu had a general impression of the town's construction.
To the north is the city gate, and there are three main streets in the south, east and west, and the market is to buy and sell around the three main streets.
Behind the three main streets, there are houses built around them.
As for the shops that buy and sell the most, in addition to food, they are grain stores.
"Let's go, then we'll go to the pharmacy now, sell the medicinal herbs first, and then go to meet your mother." Just when they were walking around the three main streets, they saw the only pharmacy in the town, and they already knew the location of the pharmacy, and Huang Bai soon took Huang Shisu to the door of Wan'antang Pharmacy.
What surprised Huang Shisu slightly was that there were many patients sitting and standing in line in this Wan'an Hall, not to mention, and there were many people waiting in line in front of the medicine cabinet to grab medicine.
Huang Shisu estimated the number of people, there were 100 people waiting to see a doctor, and patients on the 20th were waiting to grab medicine.
It can be seen that the medical resources are more scarce than what Village Chief Zhuang said before.
"Dad, this pharmacy is busy! I don't know if they have the manpower to come out and buy the medicinal herbs you brought. ”
"Let's go first, I'll see the stitches." Huang Bai was also surprised that there were so many patients waiting to see a doctor in this pharmacy.
Entering the pharmacy, there were no extra men in the pharmacy to greet their father and daughter, because they were too busy.
This made it more convenient for Huang Bai's father and daughter to act.
Huang Bai saw that the shopkeeper of the pharmacy was busy collecting money, he walked around the counter where the money was collected, looking at the pharmacy with his eyes, observing the guys and patients in the pharmacy who grabbed the medicine.
From time to time, he glanced at the shopkeeper, and if he saw that the shopkeeper was not busy, he would take the opportunity to come forward and ask if he would accept the medicinal herbs.
Huang Shisu first walked around the consultation room where the patients were queuing, and saw three lines of line, waiting to see a doctor, which means that there are only three doctors in the pharmacy sitting in the hall to see a doctor.
From the time these patients opened the door and went out, Huang Shisu also saw the age of the doctor sitting inside, in addition to the two old doctors who were about the same age as her grandfather, there were also middle-aged doctors in their early forties who were not a few years older than her uncle.
"Uncle, are there so many people queuing up to see a doctor every day in Wan'an Hall?" After Huang Shisu finished observing the doctor, she found an uncle who was queuing up to see a doctor and asked.
"In the past, there were not so many patients, but there were many, at least half of today's patients!
Today is the market day, and almost all the people in the nearby villages have come for follow-up treatment. ”
"I see. Uncle, has there always been only three doctors in Wan'an Hall? Why don't you invite another doctor to see you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have to wait in line for so long. ”
"Doctors are rare! Our Yunfu City is close to Tongmen Pass, and most of the doctors who have learned some skills go to Tongmen Pass to see a doctor for the border soldiers.
A year ago, there were only two doctors in Shanshui Town, and the other doctor came to Wan'antang a year ago to see a doctor.
It's good to have three doctors in our town, and the Fengyun Town next door got an old doctor some time ago, and now there is only one doctor left to sit in the hall to see a doctor, and he can't be busy. The uncle was a little glad that there were three doctors in their town.
If the uncle knew that there were two doctors in their family, the other one was more powerful than the doctor who had graduated from the school, and there were three people who studied medicine, and four or five people who knew some simple medical principles, then the uncle would have been so surprised.
It is no wonder that after Village Chief Zhuang heard that there were two doctors in their family, and there were three or four doctors who were about to leave the school, Village Chief Zhuang was surprised, and after only testing them, he immediately arranged for their family to settle in their village.
Doctors are rare here, and there is no place to settle down.
"Uncle, you're here today to see your stomach!" Huang Zisu said something to the uncle, and he understood that the uncle in front of him was here to see a doctor.
When I was talking to the uncle, an indescribable bad breath emanated, and Huang Shisu also saw that the uncle's tongue was yellow and white and thick, and the uncle was still touching the slightly swollen stomach with one hand, which was obviously caused by gastrointestinal discomfort.
What is the specific gastrointestinal disease, you still need to call the pulse and ask to be able to know and prescribe the right medicine.
"How do you know?" The uncle asked Huang Shisu with some surprise.
"Guess! Uncle, you should queue up to see a doctor! I won't bother you. Huang Shisu left the uncle in suspense, and didn't say anything.
I can't tell the uncle that I'm a doctor, I can see it, not to mention that the uncle doesn't believe that she is a doctor, and she doesn't have the habit of snatching patients from other people's pharmacies.
