328 Wang Chufeng
Sun Sicheng simply took a few people to the restaurant. The Zhou family was in a state of chaos just now and were not willing to stay for dinner.
After eating and drinking, Ruyi took Lin Feng to buy food. Sun Sicheng simply changed Ping An's medicine in the restaurant. "You have a big skin break here, and you didn't get enough rest today. I'll take you home later."
"Master, the child must be in great pain today. The Zhou family may come to see you."
"It's just like that. Can I still help them take care of their children? Short-term pain is inevitable. In fact, these sins are caused by adults carelessly."
Ping An took the opportunity to talk about plaster bandages and told the master the specific production steps, including a detailed explanation of the principles.
I also compared this bandage with the bandage I had been using, and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages.
Sun Sicheng listened with great interest: "This is indeed better than wooden boards. Wooden boards are easy to loosen. If the injured person is not convenient to come to the hospital, it is likely to cause a slight dislocation of the bones. Plaster bandages are much better, and lime plaster is also cheap. Ping An, is there another way?"
"Another method is to use a plaster mold. For example, the child we saw today has a broken leg. We can measure the length and width of his leg, but of course it's not that accurate. So after applying medicine inside, we can directly put on a plaster mold. But in this case, the patient has to lie on the kang obediently. The good thing is that even if he is not careful when sleeping, nothing bad will happen.
Not only legs, but arms and fingers are also OK. As long as you have molds of various sizes at home, you can measure the size of the injured person and there is no need to rush. You can just take them directly. "
"Great, great, this is really good."
"Master, I forgot there is a disadvantage, that is, the weather is too hot, it is not good for heat dissipation."
Sun Sicheng was very satisfied: "Where can I find a medical device that is perfect in every way and has absolutely no flaws?
Ruyi is here, I will take you back to rest, and we will do something in the backyard of the clinic tomorrow. You draw a rough draft and I will ask your husband to draw a better one."
Ping An pretended to be heartbroken: "Master, if you say that to me, I will lose confidence. I am already a very good painter now."
Sun Sicheng smiled and tapped his forehead: "I'll let Changqing come with us tomorrow."
"That would be the best. I'm just lazy and I'll pass it on to Brother Changqing."
After returning home safely, he did not rest immediately. Instead, he carefully recalled the process of making the plaster bandage and wrote it down one by one.
The same is true for plaster molds.
After doing all this, he organized the entire process of reconnecting the child's broken bones today. After each operation, if it was a little complicated, he would take notes.
In the afternoon, Chang Xiaosan, the steward of the Chang family, came over.
Ping An just woke up and asked: "What's the matter?"
"Master, Madam wants to ask if you have time to go home for dinner tonight. Madam remembers that you have a day off today."
Ping An smiled and said, "Go back and tell my mother that I just had surgery on a child today and I may go to see other children at any time. I just came home not long ago."
"Got it, Master. The day after tomorrow is a holiday. Master said we are moving to a new house, so you must go back early. People from the Zhang family will also be here."
"Got it, Dawu, you take Xiao Sanzi out."
"Yes, young master." Da Wu sent Xiao Sanzi out and stuffed a red envelope into his hand. Xiao Sanzi was naturally happy.
Da Wu sent Xiao Sanzi away and came over to report, "Master, you fell asleep just now, so I didn't call you. That Master Wang asked his servant to send an invitation, saying that he invites you to dinner at Deyue Tower tonight, and his uncle will also go."
"I understand." Ping'an remembered that his uncle seemed to be Zhang's uncle's immediate superior, so if there was nothing special, then he could go.
After coming to the capital for a full month, he only stayed at his biological father's house for one night and had a meal there. He felt that this distance was just right, neither too far nor too close.
He doted on Xier in every way and saved money for the little girl for three years, six hundred taels. If he saved until she turned sixteen, he would be able to save three thousand two hundred taels. Then he could buy her something and her dowry would be very nice.
The second sister, Jin'er, doesn't talk much to him. She will say a few words when he teases her, but will stay away from him if he doesn't. It's no wonder, as they spend too little time together.
Thinking of Xier, he simply spread out a piece of paper and started writing a letter home. Home is where his mother is. The capital city starts to get cold in October. After this letter, there is no guarantee that he will be able to send them another letter by the end of the year.
Ping'an wrote the letter, took out seven hundred and twenty taels from his own silver box, and another hundred-tael silver note and put it in his pocket. He would pay for the moving and the banquet, as it was not easy for his father to support the family with that money.
But as a result, he only had a little over 11,000 yuan left in his small treasury.
Today, the master bought a large basket of food. He picked out a large bag and took this with him, as well as some pearl flowers bought on the street last time, a gold hairpin for his mother, a small crossbow for his stepfather, and his uncle's pipe and tobacco leaves.
After a busy day, I looked out the window and it was already dusk.
The next day, he handed Da Wu a hundred taels of silver and asked him to help deliver the letter and other things to the escort agency, and to buy some New Year's goods. Seeing that the New Year was still three months away, he planned to prepare a new set of clothes for each farmer, not to mention his own people.
The farmers basically have families, so they were given some cloth and asked to make the clothes slowly by themselves. If it was too late, it would be too late. So they asked Da Wu to buy ready-made clothes.
Some things can be bought at any time when they are cheap, and you don't have to wait until it snows heavily. For example, bacon can be pickled next month. The farm has four pigs, which is enough for fresh food to eat during the New Year.
Next year the farm should raise more poultry, especially chickens. There is alfalfa in the medicinal valley, which is the best for livestock to eat. It can also be dried and kept for a year without going bad.
When we arrived at the clinic, the master had already brought Changqing over.
"Safety."
"Brother Changqing, you must be impatient, right? Good morning, Master."
Sun Sicheng looked at his hurried apprentice and asked, "Have you had breakfast? Why are you so flustered?"
"I ate it. I bought some steamed buns on the street. I wrote a letter last night and asked Da Wu to deliver it to the escort agency this morning. It will start to get cold next month, so I asked him to start preparing for the New Year from now on. Master, have you prepared all the ingredients?"
Sun Sicheng pointed to the pile on the ground.
Ping An shook his head: "The master is abusing the child laborers, Brother Changqing, we are working for the master today, so we should let him pay us."
Sun Changqing smiled. This junior fellow apprentice was very interesting. If nothing unexpected happened, he would become his brother-in-law in the future.
“I don’t know if my father will give it to me.”
Seeing his eldest son telling a joke, Sun Sicheng laughed too: "We have to do the work first, then we can talk about the wages. How about this, one ounce of silver per person, plus a dinner?"
"Master, you should give me more wages. Wang Chufeng invited me to dinner at Deyue Tower tonight, and he said his uncle will also go."
Sun Sicheng raised his eyebrows: "Duke Jingguo and the eldest son are good people. Wang Chufeng's father is the commander of the Kyoto Camp and the prince of the Duke's Mansion. If nothing unexpected happens, Wang Chufeng will be the future prince of Duke Jingguo, a real wealthy family in the capital.
But he has a second son in his house, who is the legitimate son of his step-wife. The other two illegitimate sons were separated after they got married. If you want to associate with Wang Chufeng in the future, Master will not stop you, but you must be careful not to be plotted against by others, as some people are born bad. "
