Chapter 709 End
Doctor Ji, who was standing by, felt a little jealous after hearing this. "My voice is hoarse too, why haven't you shown me any respect?"
Manbao blinked and wanted to say, aren’t you a doctor yourself?
But seeing that he was not very happy, Manbao rolled his eyes and said, "I was going to make it before sending it to you. If you want tea bags, I'll ask my second niece to send you a bag later."
Doctor Ji was delighted when he heard this. He stroked his beard and smiled reservedly, "Okay, bring it to me when you're done cooking."
County Magistrate Tang glanced at him, smiled, and went to her medical tent with Manbao to drink tea.
It is said to be medicinal tea, and it really is medicinal tea. County Magistrate Tang took a look at the brown tea, swallowed his saliva, and waited until the temperature was right before drinking it.
He frowned in disdain and asked, "Is this medicinal tea really effective?"
"I saw a recipe occasionally, so it should be there." She wouldn't drink it anyway, and good medicine tastes bitter.
County Magistrate Tang also noticed this. When he saw her pour the tea into two bamboo tubes and hand them to Zhou Lijun, asking her to take them to Mr. Zhuang and Doctor Ji respectively, he asked, "Why don't you drink it?"
Manbao said, "My throat doesn't hurt."
County Magistrate Tang looked at her for a long moment, then reached out and picked up the teapot, poured her a bowl, and advised, "You should drink some. It's autumn now, and the weather is dry. Drinking some tea will soothe your throat."
Manbao refused, saying that the tea didn't look tasty at all and she didn't want to drink it.
But if you have to drink...
Manbao turned around, picked up her backpack, turned it over, and took out a small jar.
When she opened the jar, County Magistrate Tang smelled the fragrance of honey.
County Magistrate Tang: ...
He just watched as Manbao scooped a spoonful of honey into his tea, stirred it well, and then drank it.
He rubbed his forehead and asked, "So stingy?"
Manbao said confidently: "I didn't remember for a moment. If you hadn't insisted that I drink it, I wouldn't have forgotten that I brought honey."
County Magistrate Tang was very curious, "You come here to treat a patient, why do you bring honey?"
Manbao coughed lightly and said, "It's for comforting children. Some children cry when they get a needle or take medicine. My fourth brother happened to have some honey when he went to the countryside, so I brought it here."
Mainly because it is autumn and dry now, honey has many benefits and can also soothe children, so Manbao brought it.
However, during these three days, not a single child came to see her for medical treatment. Most of them went to see the doctors who looked very old.
For example, Doctor Ji.
Occasionally, there were children waiting in her medical tent. When an adult saw her age, he would take the child to another medical tent.
County Magistrate Tang couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Manbao and said, "When you become famous in Yizhou, or when you live another twenty or thirty years, there will be many people asking you to treat their children's illnesses."
"However," he paused, looked at her face and smiled, "your disadvantage lies in your age, but your advantage is also your age. You are so young, and there are countless possibilities waiting for you in the future."
Manbao looked at County Magistrate Tang strangely and asked, "Sir Tang, why are you suddenly so sentimental?"
County Magistrate Tang sighed and said, "I just suddenly felt that I was getting old, and I felt a little emotional."
Manbao looked at County Magistrate Tang carefully and found that he looked a little haggard. Maybe he hadn't shaved in the past two days, and his face looked tired and old.
Manbao also sighed heavily, then picked up a pen and wrote a prescription, saying: "Master Tang, since you know that you are not young anymore, then you should take good care of yourself. This is a maintenance prescription I know, it is quite good, you can try it."
County Magistrate Tang glanced at the prescription stuffed into his hand and was silent for a while before saying, "Thank you?"
Manbao narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You're welcome."
In the afternoon, the unconscious patient woke up, but he only complained of headache, dizziness, and blurred vision, but his hands and feet could move. After examination, the doctors believed that he was no longer in great danger, but there might be blood stasis in his brain, which needed to be dispersed and the swelling reduced.
But Doctor Xu and Doctor Ji can prescribe very suitable prescriptions for these medicines.
County Magistrate Tang had been waiting outside the medical tent. After confirming that the patient was fine, he asked the patient's family to take him back.
But because the other party fell down while building a house, the cost of the medicinal materials would be paid for by the county government, including the follow-up medical treatment. County Magistrate Tang also designated Jishiditang to be responsible.
Not only that, County Magistrate Tang would give them an extra portion of relief food to ensure that he would not starve to death while recovering from his injuries.
County Magistrate Tang promised this, and the patient's family happily carried the patient back home.
Today is the fourth day, and there are not many patients coming, so Manbao and the others rang the bell early and went home. By the fifth day, there were even fewer patients coming to see the doctor, and there were only some residues left in the pharmacy, and most of the medicinal materials were gone.
This is also the fundamental reason why there are no patients.
I came to see a doctor, but the free medicine was no longer available.
It’s better not to watch it.
Manbao and his colleagues saw a few patients here and there, wrote prescriptions, and then watched them leave the pharmacy disappointed, or go home to endure the pain, or take the prescriptions to the pharmacy in the city to buy medicine.
Of course, more people may choose the former.
Manbao's table was moved outside the medical tent again. She sat on the chair, supporting her chin and looking at the empty wilderness. The day before yesterday, it was full of people.
Gao and several other women who still wanted acupuncture came to Manbao for follow-up consultations. After Manbao gave them acupuncture, he became idle again.
Seeing that Gao's symptoms had improved a lot before, but were worsening today, she said, "You should take the prescription to the pharmacy and buy some medicine, otherwise all the medicine you took before will be wasted."
Gao lowered her eyes and asked, "Doctor Zhou, how long do I have to take this medicine?"
"Take it for another ten days."
Gao lowered her head and said nothing.
Manbao sighed, thought for a moment, and then picked up his pen to write down another prescription. He said, "I'll change the medicine for you. It won't be as effective as the previous one, but it's cheaper. You can go to Jishitang and get it. A prescription will only cost about ten cents."
Gao hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take it.
Manbao felt that she was very similar to his own mother, who had always persevered for the sake of the family, and as she got older, her whole body collapsed.
She didn't want Gao to be like this, so she said, "Whether you change the medicine or not, you have to go to Jishitang for acupuncture tomorrow. It's free."
Even if you don't take medicine, acupuncture will at least have some effect.
Gao didn't know whether she listened or not, but she took the prescription and left.
Manbao looked around and saw that it was already late and there was not a single patient, and the doctor had already asked people to clean the medical tent, so he decided to go home.
Manbao thought for a moment, then stood up and looked towards the pharmacy. Bai Shan came over with a basket of books, and seeing her still there, she asked, "The pharmacy is out of medicine. Aren't you going to pack up and go home?"
Manbao glanced at Doctor Ji's medical tent and saw that he had also started to pack up his things, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
Bai Shan helped her put the boiled and dried needles into the needle bag and asked, "Do you want to go out for dinner?"
Manbao nodded without thinking, "Yes."
Bai Shan smiled and said, "Then let's go have dinner today. We've been tired for four or five days, and it's time to reward ourselves."
Manbao said, "You treat."
Bai Shan nodded, "Okay, let Bai Er treat next time."
The next update will be around 8pm
