Chapter 440 Free Cough Syrup
Chenchen in Baiyun Mountain also missed his family. Xiaobai was still young, and he was always worried about it taking a long journey, fearing that it would never come back and leave him alone here.
After coming to Baiyun Mountain, he never wrote back home. He wanted to wait until after the New Year and then let Xiaobai fly back to the capital to give letters to his grandparents, parents and aunt.
Although he is young, he has a strong ability to learn new things. He can learn whatever the master teaches him.
Bai Xiaohe felt like he had found a treasure and kept teaching him things. He learned the magic that others needed one or two years to learn in just one or two months.
As he taught, Bai Xiaohe calculated that Chenchen would be able to leave the mountain when he was ten years old. By then, he would have taught Chenchen everything he had learned throughout his life.
No, he can't teach so fast, he has to take it slow and let him practice hard.
Chenchen also practiced, and most of the time he went to the library while practicing. He was too young, and he was Bai Xiaohe's apprentice, so he had the highest seniority among all the disciples in Baiyun Mountain.
Others who come into Baiyun Mountain have to start by clearing snow at the foot of the mountain, but he didn’t. He went to the top of the mountain as soon as he came in. There was no other way, Bai Xiaohe lived at the top of the mountain.
Xiaobai is the happiest one. He flies from top to bottom of the mountain every day. When he is happy, he goes around everywhere, which makes Chenchen very envious.
Finally, he was forced to spend his days in the library.
If Bai Xiaohe wanted to find him, he didn't have to go anywhere else, he could find him in the library.
Although she moved back to the Duke's Mansion, Du Wanwan still came to the west of the city every day to see patients.
Du Xiuxiu had learned almost everything, so Du Wanwan specially set up a children's clinic. Du Xiuxiu treated all the common diseases of children.
The people had no objections. After all, Doctor Du was still in the People's Clinic. If there was a disease that Doctor Du could not treat, Doctor Du would come to help.
People from the east and south of the city would also come to the People's Clinic for medical treatment, making Du Wanwan even busier.
But she was happy with it.
The black soil in the space is planted with all kinds of medicinal herbs, and Yaya can help her harvest and boil them.
Whatever she wants, she just needs to go into the space and boil it once, and then she won’t have to worry about it anymore. Yaya will boil various medicinal materials into different pills and put them away in different categories.
A lot of pear paste candy for treating coughs was also boiled and put into small bottles of oral liquid in the space. Whenever a child had a cough, the medicine would be prescribed on the spot and poured out for them to drink.
After drinking the small bottle, you cannot take it away and must return it.
The common people could also understand that the small glass bottle was really valuable and could not be taken away casually. It was worth a lot of silver.
When the cold winter came, the People's Medical Clinic conducted a free census, registered all the people with cough in the west of the city, and provided them with free treatment.
Whether adults or children, anyone with a cough can receive free treatment.
The people in the west of the city were delighted. They all came to register and receive treatment on their own initiative, and would come back to give feedback if they felt any discomfort after taking the medicine.
There were not enough people, so Yetingyu, Yetinghe, Liang, Chenxiangxiu, Xu, Liang Xiaofen and Liang Yu all came to help.
Originally, one shop was not enough. Feng Liang's shop became vacant some time ago, and his cloth shop had moved to a street in the west of the city. He didn't plan to use it anymore, so he gave the shop to Du Wanwan.
He didn't ask her for a single ounce of silver. He only told her about it after the money was transferred to her name. She couldn't refuse even if she wanted to.
When asked to give him money, Feng Liang ran away faster than anything else.
As he ran, he said, "Doctor Du! We don't need to talk about money in our friendship. You helped me back then, and now I'm repaying you, so we're even."
In a word, he said it very sincerely.
Du Wanwan didn't want to insist too much. If she forced the money on him, it would hurt his reputation.
The People's Medical Clinic was expanded from one shop into two.
The news of the registration of people with coughs spread not only in the west of the city, but also to the east and south of the city.
Citizens all came to register to receive medicine. Adults and children lined up in an orderly manner. No one cut in line or made a fuss. The line stretched from the entrance of the People's Clinic to a street in the west of the city.
The Imperial Hospital specializes in treating coughs. Cheng Jie, who had a fever, also joined the crowd to queue up. He really wanted to try the pear syrup candy that was said to be miraculous at the People's Hospital. What was so magical about it?
The Queen Mother had been coughing recently and he had prescribed several medicines but none of them worked.
He himself kept coughing, and several of the palace maids and eunuchs around the Queen Mother also started coughing.
If he can’t be cured, I’m afraid he may even lose his head.
This time the cough was very strange, with paroxysms of coughing, especially at night. The sputum was not easy to cough up, and the sputum was white. The appetite was poor, the tongue was pale red, the coating was thin and white, the root was slightly greasy, the throat was slightly red, and the pulse was deep.
I have never encountered this disease before. Cough is difficult to treat, but it is very rare that it cannot be cured without any effect.
Hearing that Doctor Du of the People's Hospital was registering patients with coughing symptoms, he came to try his luck and see if he could find a cure for the Empress Dowager's disease.
I waited in line patiently, moved slowly with the crowd, listened to the conversations of the people around me, and watched the changes in the west of the city. Suddenly, I felt my mood improved a lot.
In his impression, the west of the city has always been synonymous with poverty, dilapidated and dirty, but now it seems that it has completely overturned his perception.
Although the people were not dressed very well and some had patches on their clothes, they were clean and tidy.
The head, face and hands were all washed clean, without any black or dirty spot.
Their spirit and energy have also changed a lot. They talk about their small business with great relish. Eight out of ten people are thanking Dr. Du.
After listening for a while, he understood that it was Doctor Du who proposed the transformation of the west city.
He was puzzled. Why would a doctor give up his job as a doctor and go to transform the west of the city? Isn't this nonsense?
Aren't doctors dedicated to studying medicine? Why would they spend so much time and effort studying something else?
However, after her transformation, the dilapidated west side of the city no longer looked like it used to be, and now it is filled with vitality.
I always heard that in winter, heavy snow collapsed the houses of the people in the west of the city, causing casualties, but it seems that this year it won't happen. There is not a single low house in sight, so how could it crush people to death?
It will be cloudy today with a northeasterly wind and there is a chance of snow tonight.
Cheng Jie's family has inherited medical skills from generation to generation. He is best at treating coughs and typhoid fever. He lives in the south of the city and rarely comes to the west. He is 35 years old this year. He has always been calm and steady in his work, not liking to stand out, and is well-behaved.
The Queen Mother has been coughing for nearly a month. The prescription has been changed several times, but the condition has not improved and is showing signs of being contagious.
He was very anxious and didn't know what to do.
This won't work. The problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise he would be unworthy of the salary he receives.
His mother at home also coughed in the morning, which made him even more concerned.
I am not on duty today, so I am taking a day off. I came to the People's Medical Clinic to see if I can get any inspiration on how to cure the Empress Dowager's cough.
I lined up slowly, thinking it would take a long time, but unexpectedly I saw the plaque of the People's Medical Clinic very soon.
There are two stores with a row of tables at the door and people sitting in the back. They first register and are asked about their coughing condition, and then they are arranged to receive medication.
After drinking the medicine, the bottle needs to be recycled and cannot be taken away.
Cheng Jie felt it was very strange. He walked closer and saw that the bottles used to hold medicines in the People's Medical Clinic were made of colored glass. No wonder they had to be recycled; they were really too precious.
