Chapter 12 Me, me, me, I can castrate pigs!
Before Lü Shizhu could speak, a man with a full beard stepped forward and pointed: "Doctor Lü! It's him! It's your young master who took two taels from me and had that young doctor come with me, patting his chest and guaranteeing that the young doctor's pig-castrating skills were ancestral and that he could castrate twenty pigs at once. Who knew that after only castrating two, the young doctor dared not do any more, and this morning, one of the piglets even died!"
"Brother Qian, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation today!"
As he spoke, Lü Langzhong spun around, and soon picked up the stick he had been carrying when he entered the room.
Upon seeing this, Lü Shizhu realized the situation was bad and immediately broke free and ran away.
"You little bastard, you stop right there! My entire Lü family has been ruined by you, you little bastard!"
"Master, Master, please calm down! You can't say such things, or our ancestors will be angry!" Ah Yong stepped forward and hugged his master. "Let's talk this out! Let's talk this out! Let's deal with the immediate problem first, won't we? We can't keep our two elder brothers waiting, can we?"
Upon hearing this, Physician Lü glanced at Lü Shizhu, who had already run far away, and angrily threw the stick at his retreating figure, shouting, "You unfilial son! You unfilial son!"
The Lu family's century-old reputation is likely to be ruined by his rebellious son.
Looking back, the Lü family, a family of imperial physicians in the capital, even though they made a mistake and were exiled to Gu Kui City, had painstakingly accumulated a good reputation over the years.
But his family's only son actually sent a doctor out to castrate a pig for eight hundred coins.
He was absolutely furious!
Even though he was grinding his teeth in anger, Physician Lü still went to the counter and took the silver: "Brother, it's my fault for not raising my son properly. I only know that he took two taels of silver from you. You just said that one of your pigs died. I'm willing to compensate for all of that. Do you think three taels of silver is enough?"
The eldest son of the Qian family frowned immediately and pushed away the two taels of silver that Physician Lü handed over: "Physician Lü, I won't accept the money. This piglet doesn't cost much. You can buy one for only 180 coins. The main thing is that this job can't be delayed. I...I..." After saying that, he clenched his fists and his eyes reddened.
"Brother, what are you hesitating for now?" the younger brother of the Qian family said. "Don't laugh at us, but my brother and I were originally hired bodyguards by the Wang family. Some time ago, my niece caught the eye of the master, who wanted to take her as his twenty-second concubine. My brother thought it was wrong and secretly arranged for my niece to be married off far away. This angered the master. The master is not a good-tempered man, and he assigned us to work in the pigsty. We managed to get through many difficulties, and now that our employment period is up, we can get away. We absolutely cannot afford any mishaps now."
The eldest son of the Qian family nodded: "To tell you the truth, the old man Liu who used to castrate pigs has been taken away to retire by his son who went to the capital. Unfortunately, there aren't many people in this profession, and we can't find anyone. We really had no other choice but to resort to this drastic measure. Physician Lü, please help us find a doctor to come and take us to the capital. Let's get these twenty-odd pigs castrated first."
"The Qian brothers have really had a tough time, Physician Lü, please do us a favor!"
"Exactly! Isn't this the mess your youngest son made? He took the money but didn't do any work for them. What kind of logic is that?"
"That's right! Your Lü family has always been a family of its word, so why are you breaking your promise now?"
The onlookers chimed in to support him.
Physician Lü broke out in a cold sweat: "Please calm down, everyone! It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that we've never done this kind of work before. We're afraid that if we don't handle it properly, we might cause trouble for you two brothers."
"Exactly, are you all stupid? How could Physician Lü castrate a pig?"
"Exactly! Doctor Lü is the best doctor in our town? These two are asking too much of us!"
"Yes, if Physician Lü really castrates pigs, how will he treat us afterwards?"
"But he promised them, he can't go back on his word, can he? These two Qian brothers are really having a tough time!"
Immediately, a flurry of discussion broke out, with all sorts of opinions swirling around, creating the impression that a heated argument was about to erupt.
Lü Langzhong had always been upright and honest, with a clear conscience, so how could he listen to so much gossip? This situation was truly unbearable for him, leaving him in a dilemma, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The Qian brothers are also in a bad situation. They have searched all the surrounding villages and towns, but they haven't found a single person who can castrate pigs. They are truly at their wits' end.
Jiang Nuanzhi felt like someone was offering her a pillow when she was sleepy, so she immediately raised her chubby little hand.
"Me, me, me, I can castrate pigs."
Jiang Nuanzhi squeezed to the front: "I can go with you. I know the way to castrate pigs very well, both male and female are fine. Good quality and low price! If you have any similar jobs in the future, you can contact me. I live in Xinghua Village."
The people around fell silent for a moment, and when they saw that the speaker was just a plump woman, laughter erupted all around.
"This woman must be joking."
“There’s no such thing as a woman casting pigs.”
"That's right, that's right, wife should go home and take care of the children. This isn't a place for women to meddle!"
Physician Lü wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and frowned slightly, saying, "Madam, the shop is in chaos today. We'll pretend you never said those words. Please go back now."
Jiang Nuanzhi looked around in a daze and realized that there was no other woman around her except for her.
A few elderly women in the distance watched from afar, not coming closer. No wonder Physician Lü let her go first.
She simply smiled and said, "It's natural that you don't believe me, as there are indeed few women in this profession. But I am indeed a veterinarian."
Seeing the disbelieving looks on everyone's faces, Jiang Nuanzhi said, "Actually, there are taboos regarding castration. It is forbidden to castrate pigs at noon in the hot summer, newly purchased pigs, pigs that have just eaten their fill, sows in estrus, pigs that have just been weaned, sick pigs, and pigs that have not been disinfected."
I wonder what taboo the young veterinarian might have broken that led to the pig's death. But it's likely one of these reasons. I can't guarantee complete safety when castrating a pig. However, as long as the pig's health is good, there's generally no danger.
Everyone was stunned by her words and looked at each other in bewilderment.
Even Physician Lü couldn't help but be surprised, subtly observing Jiang Nuanzhi.
This woman was short but extremely stout, dressed in coarse cloth from a poor family. Her features were indistinguishable in terms of beauty, but her eyes were bright and clear, unforgettable. Her speech was also quite remarkable.
However, her hands only had a few thin calluses, suggesting she wasn't used to manual labor. Doctor Lü frowned deeply; she seemed rather unreliable.
