Chapter 142 The daughter of the Xie family from the capital
In this era when feudalism reached its peak, most of the crafts passed down from ancestors had the idea of passing on men but not women. In addition, women have a low social status and advocate the three-obedience and four virtues on weekdays. The behavioral standards of not getting out of the door and not getting out of the door. It is more difficult to find a female doctor than to find a needle in a haystack. It is 0.0 million~small! Says
But Hui Niang is a widow after all. If the pharmacy invites a male doctor back, even if she finds an old man, it will have an impact on her reputation.
On the day of Xiaonian, the pharmacy shop is only open in the morning.
After noon, after closing the door panel, Hui Niang asked Xiu'er and Ning'er to post notices outside the pharmacy, which was a general idea to hire a female doctor to take the clinic, which attracted a lot of people to watch.
Of course, these people just took it as jokes, and the jokes dispersed.
The operations of Lu's Pharmaceutical Store and Yang's Pharmaceutical Store are basically in yi's body. Female doctors are invited here, and naturally there are also doctors, but the conditions for Yang's Pharmaceutical Store are relatively relaxed.
Because Yang's Pharmaceutical Store and Lu's Pharmaceutical Store have successively sold finished medicines, and other pharmaceutical stores in Fucheng also mean that they sell finished medicines, it is not good news for doctors who make money by visiting medical treatment.
At this time, people get sick. If they are not poor and unable to get rid of the pot at home, they usually see the doctor first, pay the doctor's medical fee, and then take the prescription to the pharmacy to grab the medicine.
Selling ready-made medicines in pharmacies is equivalent to changing the people's habit of seeking doctors and asking for medicines.
The doctors in Tingzhou Fucheng felt the pressure of survival. Apart from condemning the pharmacy that sells medicines in their hearts, there was no better way to deal with it.
Now, Yang's pharmacy hired a doctor is a way out. Going to the pharmacy as a doctor is equivalent to turning the original floating medical fee into a fixed wage, and there is also a commission for patients to see a doctor, and the income is only a lot higher than before.
Since Yang's Pharmaceutical Store posted a notice to invite doctors, in addition to the Yang family's own search for the prestigious Xinglin masters, many doctors have also recommended themselves.
Lu's pharmacy shop wanted to find a female doctor because of the name. After hanging the notice for two days, no one still applied for it. Hui Niang even asked people from the Chamber of Commerce to ask for help, but unfortunately the feedback received was disappointing. Apart from Hui Niang, the "girl doctor", there was no one around Tingzhou Prefecture that there was no female doctor.
On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, the printing workshop started construction on the last day.
People these days attach great importance to the Spring Festival and the Spring Festival, and there are many things that need to be prepared in advance. The workshops can only be suspended by the end of the year.
After the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the printing of colored New Year pictures has basically stopped, and the inventory is enough for the Spring Festival and the next few months. Printing workshops in Ninghua and Fucheng are working hard to print color comics.
Hui Niang had already gone to the printing workshop that day to prepare for the suspension of work at the end of the year. She directed people to transport all the printed plates, printed comic strips, and uncut semi-finished products to the rented warehouse to pile them up. After all, the workers received their wages and could go home.
Hui Niang returned to the pharmacy and discussed with Zhou's house on duty issues at the end of next year.
As the shopkeeper of the printing workshop, Shen Mingjun will go over to guard during the day during the end of the year. If he goes home and stays overnight, he will have to hire someone to watch to prevent theft.
After the exchange was completed, Zhou went home to discuss with Shen Mingjun whether to return to Ninghua by the end of the year. Hui Niang had no relatives in Ninghua, so she would do whatever she wanted to celebrate the New Year. While she had time, she called Shen Xi to discuss.
"Xiaolang, you said that the pharmacy needs to find a female doctor to sit in the hall, but it has been a few days since the notice was posted, and no one has come to apply for it."
Hui Niang was quite helpless. If she could really find a female doctor to come back, the medicine shop had a knowledgeable person who could feel at ease, and it could also greatly improve the level of the medicine shop, so that she could feel more at ease when selling patent medicines.
Chen Xi supported his head and thought for a while, saying, "I wonder why I can't recruit people, maybe it's because they think our temple is small and don't want to come."
Hui Niang frowned and asked, "Xiaolang, who are you talking about?"
Chen Xi grinned, saying that he could not tell some things very clearly. When he first came to the city, he and Shen Mingjun were wandering around the city to find sales channels for colorful New Year pictures. He once saw a graceful and beautiful woman in a three-story building in the city. When Chen Xi saw that his father was absent-minded, he secretly paid attention.
Later, Chen Xi went to inquire about the origin of the woman, and only then did he know that she was the daughter of the Xie family, a daughter of the Xinglin family who returned from the north to visit her relatives. She didn't know the name, but she heard that the Xie family was very famous in the capital. However, the grandfather of the Xie family's daughter made a mistake when treating the powerful and powerful in the capital, causing the patient's condition to worsen and almost died. After that, both generations of the Xie family were imprisoned, and the Xie family suffered.
The three generations of the Xie family have been single-veined. When it comes to the generation of Miss Xie, although they have younger brothers and sisters under their branches and leaves, they are young. Miss Xie family is looking for people to clear their clothes everywhere in the capital, but unfortunately they are not successful.
Originally, the lady of the Xie family had already been engaged to marry someone and was about to pass the family. After this incident, the husband's family quit, which was a great humiliation for her daughter's family.
Seeing that the family wealth was gone, the Xie family was desperate and could only take their elders and a few younger siblings back to their ancestral home. When Chen Xi and Shen Mingjun glanced at each other, the Xie family had just arrived in Changting Mansion City and found a house to discuss renting a yard and other matters. I heard that the Xie family had a good medical skills and wanted to open a medical clinic in the city to take care of medical treatment and sell medicine, but unfortunately they did not succeed in a few months.
Chen Xi privately speculated that except for not finding a suitable venue, the current economic situation of the Xie family is probably not too short, and it is difficult to deal with anything without money.
"Auntie, has anyone wanted to open a pharmacy shop recently and join the pharmacy shop chamber?" Chen Xi did not answer Hui Niang's words, but asked instead.
Hui Niang thought about it for a while, and finally shook her head: "I haven't heard of it."
Chen Xi sighed: "Auntie, I heard that there are people in the capital with Xie surnamed, and the previous three generations have been famous doctors. I wonder if it is true?"
"Xiaolang, where did you hear it? Why don't I know?" Hui Niang was a little surprised. She clearly told Chen Xi that she could not hire a female doctor, but Chen Xi just talked to her about something useless.
Chen Xi had no choice but to clarify the situation of the Xie family and the story of the Xie family's lady returning home from afar.
Hui Niang suddenly realized and nodded slightly: "If there is such a person, it is really not easy to pay attention to the fact that the family is in decline. If you want to make a comeback in your hometown, the Chamber of Commerce will also help you."
Chen Xi said anxiously: "Auntie, why don't you understand what I mean? I want to say that Auntie can go and inquire about the words of this lady Xie's family. It's better to invite her back to be the doctor in the hall."
Hui Niang was a little surprised and waved her hand: "No, what kind of identity is he? How can he be the only one who can surrender to our shop? Besides, even if we go and invite him, he will not come."
Chen Xi could see that although Hui Niang had courage, she was still a little inferior to her businessman status. In this era, the status of doctors was very high. If she was not a good minister, she would be a good doctor. Although her starting point was from the Confucian idea that "if you are successful, you will benefit the world, and if you are poor, you will be safe" and "manage the family and govern the country and pacify the world", it can also prove the status of doctors in the minds of the world.
However, this is a critical moment when pulling people into the gang. A female doctor with excellent medical skills is hard to come by. If you miss this village, you will not have this store. Even if you are suspected of taking advantage of others' danger, you have to work hard to get it.
Besides, if the Xie family had strong financial resources and could have stayed in Beijing to open a clinic, why would they have to travel thousands of miles to a remote place like Tingzhou Prefecture? The Xie family had grandmother, mother, a few concubines, and younger brothers and sisters to support them. The whole family had so many mouths, and she was a woman who ran around and managed her. She was not familiar with the place. No wonder she still had nothing to do after a few months.
"Auntie, you can visit this Miss Xie first and explain her purpose. She grew up in Beijing since she was a child and is not very familiar with Tingzhou. If she wants to open a clinic, she always needs to find out all aspects of the situation. You are the leader of the chamber of commerce, so it is understandable that you take the initiative to care about it, right?"
Hui Niang nodded, Chen Xi said something reasonable.
"Auntie, you can discuss it with her and let her be a doctor in our pharmacy for the time being, familiar with the situation in Tingzhou Prefecture, wait for her to get familiar with the situation and make her name known, and think that she can open a clinic and can leave and work alone at any time. Isn't this good for both parties?"
Chen Xi explained the truth, and the main purpose was to let Ms. Xie go to Lu's pharmacy. It would be better to use monthly money and benefits to make Ms. Xie feel that staying in the pharmacy for treatment is more secure than going back to open a clinic to bear the profit and loss.
Hui Niang finally said, "Then I will go and find a suitable time to visit you, but you still have to discuss this with your mother."
That afternoon, Zhou returned to the pharmacy. Hui Niang turned around and looked at it. She didn't see Shen Mingjun, so she stepped forward and asked, "Where is my sister-in-law?"
"He went to the warehouse and said he would not come back tonight. Now that he hasn't found anyone to watch, he can only worry more." Zhou sighed, "I have discussed with him that the construction will start on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. It will take at least five or six days for the round trip back and forth in Ninghua this year. We will not go back to the New Year. In the past two days, we will send some money back as a wish."
Hui Niang nodded because the printing workshop was only suspended for ten days at the end of the year. If Shen Mingjun and his wife took Chenxi back to Ninghua, the round trip would be a bit rushed. Originally, Hui Niang also hoped that the Shen family would be with her during the Chinese New Year, and the two families would gather together to have a lively atmosphere.
Hui Niang talked about the fact that she was going to find Miss Xie and invited her to come to the hall. Zhou Shi said happily: "This is a good thing. Just make a decision. Don't ask me specifically. Besides, I don't understand."
Hui Niang smiled and said, "If you have something to do, you should discuss it with your sister more, otherwise you will have no opinion. Then I will go and inquire about the residence of the Miss Xie family tomorrow and visit it."
Chen Xi shouted, "Auntie, can I get up with you?"
Zhou scolded, "Your Aunt Sun is going to do a serious business, what are you going to do with me?"
Hui Niang smiled and touched Chen Xi's head, and said lovingly: "It's okay, it's okay. With Xiaolang next to me, my sister is more at ease. If you want to say that this lady of the Xie family or Xiaolang is outside, my sister asked the people from the Chamber of Commerce to inquire, she didn't know that there was this person."
Zhou said to himself: "Where did this brat hear this?"
Chen Xi smiled. He would not say that it was because Shen Mingjun was fascinated by this young lady of Xie that he was so careful about investigating. In fact, those people in the Chamber of Commerce were not concerned about themselves. Apart from deafing business, how could they pay attention to a little woman who came back from the north?
In order to meet this Miss Xie, Hui Niang prepared some gifts, including yipibu and simple fruit snacks. Although it was not worth much money, it was somewhat her wish.
On the morning of the 26th day of the 12th lunar month, Hui Niang sent Xiu'er to visit the address of Miss Xie, which Chen Xi said, first. After confirming it, she took Chen Xi and asked Xiu'er to push a wooden cart and carry a few gifts. The three of them got up to see the real "goddess doctor" who came back from the capital.
