Doctor Wei and his son stayed at the hospital together. When Mr. Qian came back and heard that, he was overjoyed and asked people to prepare a room in the backyard for the father and son to live in. At the same time, people quietly spread rumors outside that Doctor Wei from Qingzhou wanted to reconcile with him.
Mr. Zhou studied medicine and volunteered to be an apprentice in the Medical Department.
Mr. Qian grabbed Hu Dalang and whispered to him, "The main thing is to spread the news to Baicao Hall. The shopkeepers and doctors of the two drug stores must hear this rumor."
Hu Dalang nodded fiercely and whispered: "I know, I will do it as calmly as before."
"Yes." Mr. Qian took out a handful of copper coins and gave it to him, "Go quickly. We have to pack medicinal materials in the afternoon. We need to deliver cold-proof medicinal materials to the county government tomorrow. Don't come back too late."
Hu Dalang agreed, took the money and went out.
When he ran to the street, he thought for a moment and then went to Baicaotang. He found a shop selling groceries nearby and went in to pick out things.
Hu Dalang has been running errands for the medical department in the past few months. Beihai County is small and he comes and goes, so many people know him.
The shopkeeper of the grocery store saw him picking up barrels and basins, so he came up and asked with a smile: "Hu Dalang, why are barrels and basins sold at this time? Are the adults taking in the refugees from outside again? I still have a lot of things here.
Well, they are all needed to stay here.”
Hu Dalang asked while choosing, "I only buy two sets, can it be cheaper?"
He said: "It's cheaper. I didn't even buy it at the grocery store near our hospital. I came here because I heard a patient said that recently you have barrels and tubs that have been processed. They are better than
The ones outside are cheaper.”
Where does he have the barrels and tubs for processing?
However, there was no reason to extrapolate when the business came to his door, so he gritted his teeth and asked: "Are you just going to buy two sets of barrels and basins? Don't want other things? This mouthwash cup, and quilts and other things, my God
It’s cold, so you have to keep warm.”
"Oh, forget about this cup, how can the county government be short of someone else's quilt?" A customer who was also shopping on the side immediately said: "Who doesn't know that the weaving workshop in the riverside alley specializes in making clothes, quilts, etc. for them?
of?"
Hu Dalang immediately said: "The person who came this time is not a long-term worker, and the long-term workers of the county government are not responsible for our medical department."
But in the eyes of everyone, they are all the same. They are all yamen anyway, and every time the county government recruits long-term workers, they will take them to the medical office for a physical examination. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the recruitment of long-term workers is a matter of county government.
The Yamen and the Medical Department worked together.
Especially if Mr. Bai and Mr. Zhou are still husband and wife, they are not separated.
"We have two new apprentices in the medical department. Barrels and basins are a must. As for quilts and other things, I'm not sure yet. I'll tell them after I go back and ask them."
This was big news. The customers who were in the grocery store and the shopkeeper gathered around and asked curiously, "Who is so lucky? Last time, Old Man Jia took his grandson to kowtow at the Medical Office, but the Medical Office
It’s not confiscated either.”
"Oh, there are so many people who refused. There were so many people who went to kowtow a few days ago, but not one was selected."
"You're lucky, sir. Your sister will definitely have a bright future."
Hu Dalang did not forget his purpose. He only answered the first question and said with a smile: "It's Doctor Wei and Xiao Langjun from Qingzhou. Doctor Wei has good medical skills, so we adults kept him here."
Everyone was shocked and asked in detail.
Hu Dalang passed on what Mr. Qian taught him verbatim. In the end, he did not buy a wooden barrel or basin, but bought two cups, poplar brush sets and cloth towels for bathing and washing his face, and then went back.
.
The shopkeeper of the grocery store and the customers heard this gossip and didn't care what the customers bought. After sending them away, and seeing that no customers came for the time being, they couldn't help but chat with the shopkeeper next door who sold books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones.
.
The two of them were talking lively, and after listening to it, the clerk from Baicaotang diagonally across the street couldn't help but run back to report to their shopkeeper.
So before the sun went down, the medicine boys from Renhetang and Baicaotang were poking around outside the medical office. Finally, when Zhou Man went out, he saw Dr. Wei who was accompanying him.
What made them stunned was that Zhou Man took the girl and the guards home, but Doctor Wei and his son stayed behind, and turned around and went back to the medical office.
The clerks from the two families looked at each other, turned around and left. However, they did not go back to the drug store immediately. Instead, they looked for an inn in the city.
There are not many inns in the county. Except for the inn, there are only two good ones. The rest are very small. Doctor Wei and the others would probably not stay there, so it was easy to find the inn where they stayed when they came over at noon today.
In a small county town, business people all know each other, so the innkeeper also recognizes them. When they asked for advice, he said: "I came and moved out in the afternoon. I only paid half a day's room fee. I should have a place to live."
The two guys looked at each other and immediately went back to report.
Shopkeeper Shi couldn't help but spin around in circles and kept saying: "Treacherous, so treacherous!"
In fact, Dr. Shao is quite enthusiastic, mainly because he has seen Zhou Man's acupuncture, which is really good. If he can learn three points...
So he couldn't help but look at Shopkeeper Shi, endured it, and said in a low voice: "Actually, Mr. Zhou should also accept us if we go there. The Medical Department has always posted recruitment lists before, but it's a pity that it has never been able to recruit suitable candidates.
doctor."
Shopkeeper Shi looked at him faintly, "What, are you going to become a doctor in the medical department?"
"Oh, I will definitely be an apprentice like Dr. Wei," Dr. Shao said, "Apprentices are not paid, but they can ask Master Zhou for advice. Obviously, Master Zhou is paid for his medical skills."
Shopkeeper Shi began to think deeply and said hesitantly: "Actually, there are several apprentices in our pharmacy who have already achieved success..."
Doctor Shao sighed, "I'm afraid Mr. Zhou may not look down on me. After all, Dr. Wei Zhuyu is in front of me."
Shopkeeper Shi: "... If you become an apprentice, who will sit in the medicine shop?"
Just rely on him?
Let’s not talk about the medical skills of Dr. Shao and him. Since Dr. Shao has been stable in Renhe Hall for more than ten years, he naturally has the diseases that he is good at. This is something Shopkeeper Shi cannot replace.
Dr. Shao also thought of this and sighed: "How could Dr. Wei have such courage and come here directly leaving his family and career behind?"
Shopkeeper Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry. I'll invite Master Zhou tomorrow. No, I'll invite Mr. Qian to come out and sit down."
Zhou Man is very busy every day. Unless she comes to ask for medical advice or talks about medicinal materials, she is rarely seen outside.
Since she got Mr. Qian, she no longer has to worry about medicinal materials. Unless she goes to the countryside, she rarely goes out.
So it's not easy to meet her.
But they can't always come to ask for advice on medical skills. How shameless. That's a person's ability to eat. If the doctor from Baicaotang next door comes to ask Dr. Shao for a prescription for treating a disease, can Dr. Shao tell him?
