Chapter 3078 Together
Shopkeeper Zhao and Doctor Tian of Baicaotang were also discussing this matter. Shopkeeper Zhao urged Doctor Tian, "Why don't you go to the Medical Bureau and ask? If your apprenticeship isn't long, you can stay there. Master Zhou's acupuncture and trauma treatment techniques are so good that even if we can only learn a little bit, it will be enough for us."
Doctor Tian was a little embarrassed, "I'm already this old and I still want to be an apprentice?"
Shopkeeper Zhao advised him, "Doctor Wei is not young either, hasn't he gone? Even if he is an apprentice, it depends on who he is apprenticing to. That's Zhou Man!"
Doctor Tian hesitated and refused to respond, so Shopkeeper Zhao was eager to try, saying, "How about I go over there? Can you take care of the pharmacy?"
Doctor Tian: "...You are the shopkeeper. How can a shopkeeper become someone's apprentice?"
"Why not?" Shopkeeper Zhao said, "Doctor Wei is the owner of the pharmacy, so he went there, didn't he?"
This was not a small matter that could be decided in one night. After everyone had discussed it, they went home without reaching a conclusion.
However, Manager Zhao hesitated for a moment before writing several letters and handing them to his servants. "Send them to the post station tomorrow and have them delivered."
If Doctor Tian is unwilling and he cannot go, then he can send a few doctors from other places, especially doctors from his own family, so that they can learn from Zhou Man. Even if they only learn two or three prescriptions, it will be a profit.
Because of its close relationship with Zhou Man, Jishitang has developed very well in recent years. First, there was a magical medicine for wounds made with Panax notoginseng; later, there were all kinds of previously unseen medicines...
I asked around at Baicaotang in the capital, and found out that all of that was given to Jishiditang by Zhou Man.
Mr. Qian also lived in the medical office. He led everyone in warmly welcoming Dr. Wei and his son. After dinner, he personally sent them back to their room before leaving.
Hu Dalang reported to him, "In the evening, Old Man Fei said that the guys from Renhetang and Baicaotang were hiding in the alley watching us."
Mr. Qian stroked his beard and smiled, "It's settled. You can go and have some rest. I won't need you for anything tonight."
Hu Dalang happily withdrew.
Hu Xiaomei was sitting at the door of their house, memorizing the names and properties of medicinal herbs. After she finished memorizing them haltingly and incompletely, she took out the "Thousand Character Classic" and memorized it word by word.
Little brother Hu sat beside and read along, his voice loud and clear.
Hu Dalang walked over and asked, "Have you memorized the two sentences that the master taught you today?"
"I've memorized it," Hu Xiaomei said, holding the book out to him as if to show off her skills. "I've recognized all the words. Look, big brother, 'The sword is called Juque, the pearl is called Yeguang. The precious fruit is pear and pear, and the most important vegetable is mustard and ginger.'"
Hu Dalang read it out loud and also recognized the characters...
Hu's mother leaned on the bed and looked out the window, staring blankly at the three brothers and sisters squatting outside the door and repeating these two sentences over and over again.
Zhou Man was still immersed in the excitement of seducing Dr. Wei. When she went to the medical office the next day, the smile on her face almost flashed into Bai Shan's eyes when he saw her out.
After thinking about it, he simply raised his foot and followed her.
Zhou Man turned around and looked at him, "What are you doing?"
"I'll walk you to the door."
"No, no, I'm not going to take the alley today. I'm going to take the main road."
Bai Shan asked curiously, "Why do you have to take a long detour?"
A quarter of an hour later, the couple sat in front of a stall, picked up a freshly baked meat pie with chopsticks, took a bite, and ate it with tofu pudding topped with brown sugar. It was particularly delicious.
Bai Shan looked around and whispered to Zhou Man, "What he cooks is not as good as what my sister-in-law cooks."
Zhou Man also whispered: "After eating home-cooked food for a long time, it feels different to go out occasionally."
Bai Shan took a bite of the meat pie and nodded in agreement.
After having breakfast outside, Bai Shan sent Zhou Man to the medical office and met Dr. Wei whom she mentioned yesterday.
Zhou Man thought that attracting Doctor Wei to the hospital as an apprentice was her greatest achievement during this period. Unexpectedly, Mr. Qian came to her directly in the evening and said, "Doctor Shao from Renhetang and Doctor Tian from Baicaotang also want to come to the hospital as apprentices."
Zhou Man was extremely surprised. "Is their pharmacy closed?"
"It's still possible to open the clinic. I heard that the two shopkeepers are writing to their family, hoping to transfer two doctors from other places to work here."
Zhou Man touched his chin and said, "I don't mind. I can treat them all equally, but are they really willing to be apprentices?"
Being an apprentice is different from being a doctor. It is not just about treating patients. The reason why she wants to recruit apprentices is because there are many miscellaneous tasks in the medical office that ordinary people cannot do except those who understand medical principles.
Mr. Qian smiled and said, "They came to me on their own initiative. I've already told them that the minimum period is one year. They must stay in the medical office for at least that period. I think as long as you are willing to teach them medical skills, they will be very willing to stay here."
Zhou Man nodded and said, "Then let them come. By the way, Doctor Shao and Doctor Tian are from Beihai County. They shouldn't need to live in the hospital, right?"
There are too many people staying in the hospital now. If two more people move in, the number of patients that can be admitted will decrease.
Mr. Qian immediately said, "They must be living in their own home."
Zhou Man was satisfied.
Mr. Qian smiled and said, "Then I'll have them come over tomorrow?"
Zhou Man nodded, "Let them come over."
The next day, Doctors Shao and Tian were embarrassed when they saw the apprentice dressed as Doctor Wei in the medical office. Doctor Wei was also a little embarrassed, but he quickly put away his embarrassed look and said to the two with a smile: "In the future, I would like to ask Doctor Shao and Doctor Tian for your guidance."
The two of them forced a smile and said, "Teach each other, teach each other."
Mr. Qian hurried out to greet them, enthusiastically taking them to change their clothes. He then called everyone in the medical office to introduce them to each other, especially Hu Xiaomei and Wei Shizhong. "These two children are just starting to learn medicine, especially Hu Xiaomei, who can't even recognize all the words. From now on, the three doctors will help take care of them."
He smiled and said, "You three say you're apprentices, but in fact, you're just here to learn medicine. With your skills and qualifications, you're naturally all doctors. If there's anything you need in the medical office, as long as they can do it, just tell them to do it. By the way, this is Hu Dalang, and this is Qian Xiaoyang. They're helpers here, mainly doing rough work."
He then asked Xibing to come up and meet them. "This is the one who serves the master, but she also knows some medical knowledge. You can come to her if you have any questions in the future." Mr. Qian smiled slightly and said, "The master has kept her in the medical department now, and she is mainly responsible for the work of the medical department."
Doctor Shao and Doctor Tian took note of it, changed their clothes, and went to the front to see Zhou Man for treatment.
Zhou Man asked them to sit in the clinic as well. Now, there were not only female patients coming to see her, but also many men, elderly people and children.
Doctor Shao and his colleagues can see all these people.
The three of them were each assigned a clinic. After Zhou Man finished seeing his own patients, he went from clinic to clinic.
Needless to say, she felt much more relaxed after having three people around.
See you tomorrow
