Chapter 546 A Dream of Youth 78
Xie Ning greeted everyone, smiling very sweetly, "My name is Xie Ning, you can call me Aning."
A younger doctor next to Dr. Gu looked at Xie Ning with surprise, "Young lady, you're actually the young lady from the Xie family who presented the prescription for treating the plague in Quanzhou? You're so young."
It's too small.
"Haha, don't underestimate this child because she's young. She knows a lot. If you all have time, you should teach her more. She's a smart and polite child."
The doctors became interested and began to test him.
Xie Ning subconsciously touched his dry throat, remained silent for a while, and then honestly answered everyone's questions.
A patient waiting nearby looked at Xie Ning curiously and quietly asked the young apprentice beside him, "Dr. Shi, who is this young lady? Does Dejitang actually accept female apprentices?"
Most importantly, this young woman was dressed quite well, unlike those from families where children had to work as apprentices.
Xiao Shi and several apprentices knew early yesterday morning that a young girl would be coming to their Deji Hall as an apprentice, so they had already thoroughly investigated Xie Ning's background.
Although Xiao Shi was a little uncomfortable working with a young girl, he sincerely admired Xie Ning for knowing so much at such a young age.
He only answered the patient's questions briefly, "It's not about taking in female medicine apprentices. This Miss Xie is from an official family. Even the prince agreed to her studying medicine. Do you know about the plague in Quanzhou last year?"
The Xie family produced a prescription for treating the plague, which saved many people. The Xie family was also noble, only asking that the imperial physician teach the Xie family some medical skills for their own use.
I heard that this was at the request of Lady Xie herself, who said she couldn't bear to see those who had contracted the plague...
He talked on and on until the young apprentice tugged at his sleeve, finally stopping him.
The patients listened intently, their interest piqued, and looked at Xie Ning with curiosity. To be honest, they might not let their daughters study medicine, but they would welcome a female doctor.
If there were female doctors, then the women in their family could also receive medical treatment.
Especially the older women and aunties, they were filled with both anticipation and some hesitation.
The main problem is that Xie Ning is too young; he's still just a junior apprentice. Even though Xie Ning seems quite clever now, if he were a little older, they might let him treat patients.
After finishing her business at the farm, Chen Wanniang turned onto Dejitang on her way home. She immediately spotted Xie Ning, the shortest among the doctors. It was already evening, and there weren't many people in the clinic. Xie Ning was surrounded by a group of doctors who were testing him.
My head is spinning from memorizing all the medicinal herbs and prescriptions.
Xie Ning couldn't understand what kind of mentality drove some adults to test their children.
Chen Wanniang stood aside and chuckled to herself for a while before stepping forward to rescue Xie Ning.
After bowing and bidding farewell to everyone, Xie Ning was carried into the carriage by Chen Wan Niang to go home together. Inside, Chen Yun Sheng asked Xie Ning with a smile how things were at Deji Hall.
Xie Ning recounted everything she had done that day. It was very lively outside, with vendors hawking their wares constantly. Xie Ning couldn't resist lifting the curtain to peek outside.
Chen Yunsheng also looked around, mainly focusing on the shops outside. Then he spotted a toy stall and shouted, "Stop the car!"
Xie Ning was puzzled, and then Chen Yunsheng got out of the car and bought four small wooden figurines. They were painted and looked lifelike.
"This is for Bao'er."
The remaining three were given to Xie Qi and his younger brothers.
"So cute." Xie Ning's was a chubby baby, wearing a tiger-head hat.
"I thought it looked like Bao'er, so I went downstairs to buy it! Aunt, don't you think it looks just like her?"
Xie Ning held up the chubby baby, her eyes wide open. It looked like her???
impossible!
She plays with her little wooden sword after every meal. She's no longer the chubby girl she used to be. Now her face is a little rounder, but that's just baby fat for a child!
"Now that you mention it, it's true." Seeing Xie Ning's expression break down, Chen Wanniang chuckled and rubbed Xie Ning's little face.
"How can Bao'er be so cute?"
The carriage was filled with laughter. The Xie couple and Xie Yun had spent the whole day sightseeing, but they had come up with nothing.
It's not fair to say they gained absolutely nothing. They specifically went to eat at several popular restaurants, and it's no wonder the restaurants were so successful; their culinary skills were undoubtedly a major factor.
Moreover, they inquired about the rent of the surrounding restaurants, and even those in the outer city were very expensive, several times that of their town. Grandmother Xie was reluctant to spend that money.
She doesn't even know if the business will be successful yet, and she feels bad about renting such an expensive shop!
She had worked in Shangquan Town for most of her life, but she never thought about opening her own shop because the rent was too expensive. Even though her son was willing to pay for it, she refused.
It's better to set up a small stall; you only need to pay a small stall fee.
Xie Yun thought for a long time and said, "Mom, let's start by setting up a stall. Once we've made some money and built up a reputation, we can rent a food shop."
