The old Chinese doctor in the courtyard

Chapter 390 Official Station

"Old Li, isn't it good to give money to Xie Fei and Wang Jinjin?"

Glancing at the military shoulder bag casually thrown on the desk, Du Jiaoyang also sighed at his man's wealth.

But Xie Fei and Wang Qianjin both have families, so giving them money would feel a bit inappropriate for the female gangster.

"It's not just for errands. Without Xie Fei and Wang Qianjin, I won't mention it here. Do you have reliable people in the city?
Don't worry about these things, just watch what they do.

If you want to make money, you have to know how to spend money. Spending money is also a skill. Ask Aunt Zou if you have time. "

After sending Du Jiaoyang away, Li Shengli changed out of his Mao suit. When he went out, he thought for a moment and put on the Mao suit over his lapel. The trousers and three-jointed military hook were also put in the empty travel bag.

Also placed in the travel bag was Li Shengli's flower-kou luzi which he had kept tucked around his waist. He had secretly taken it when he took Aunt Zou to the mountains the day before yesterday.

After stepping on Sun Qiang, although the guy was not out of real danger, Li Shengli brought this thing with him to prevent the Sun family from retaliating.

As long as he was around, the Sun family would not dare to retaliate against the Du Jiaoyang siblings, but without him, the results would be unpredictable.

Although he has not stopped exercising recently, and Xiao Feng teaches Bagua Zhang, but compared to his skills, Li Shengli believes more in firearms and is not afraid of making things worse.

In the afternoon, I have to make shoe lasts and measure clothes. The flower-knot brush is not suitable for hiding on my body, so I can only put it in my bag.

I went out to the Xiao family's Banqiao Hutong. I took the Xiao family brothers and sisters with me, and also took Zhang Ying's shoe lasts with me.

Although they were both born in the Republic of China, Zhang Ying was much luckier than the lazy wife in Wali. Perhaps because of her martial arts background, Zhang Ying did not have her feet bound.

The wife of a lazy man was much more miserable. Not only was she sold in the Bada Hutong, but she also had to have her feet bound halfway. This was the most painful method of foot binding.

Zhang Ying personally handed the shoe last to Li Shengli. It seemed to have some profound meaning. Zhang Ying's expression was not very comfortable when handing it over.

"Uncle, the shoe lasts are the same as women's feet. Don't hold them like this."

Seeing that his second brother Xiao Hu had gone to the back room to get something, Xiao Feng blushed and reminded Li Shengli.

My mother-in-law also used techniques to hand over shoe lasts, which made Xiao Feng look very embarrassed.

"Remind me more about this in the future, and don't let your mother take advantage of you. Your father is still here..."

Li Shengli was helpless about this. Zhang Ying's spirit was better now, but it was on the verge of collapse a few years ago. This was a family matter of the Xiao family, and he couldn't get involved.

"How dare I?

Brother-in-law, just follow her, my father didn't even bother him when he came. "

Regarding Xiao Feng's remarks, Li Shengli didn't dare to nod in approval. This was a bottomless pit. Who knew what was going on?

When Xiao Hu came out with the army on his back and received the foreign exchange coupons he exchanged, the three of them went to Tongrentang first to arrange for Zhang Ying to be separated. Li Shengli did not forget Xiao Feng.

As for Du Jiaoyang at home, Mr. Shi's prescription is the best. It is the summary of Mr. Shi's life experience. Compared with Li Shengli's intermediate level of internal medicine, there is still a gap.

As for Zhang Ying and Xiao Feng's pulse, Li Shengli couldn't ask Mr. Shi to get involved. There were some things that he couldn't let too many people know.

Moreover, Mr. Shi was somewhat upright and kind-hearted, but he still had some differences in outlook for a half-charlatan like him.

Lao Gao, the manager of Tongrentang, asked about the progress of Du Jiaoyang's patent medicine. Chinese medicine medicine is not achieved overnight.

Some pills, powders, and plasters require half a year to prepare if not done properly. Pharmaceutical preparation is also a meticulous job, and the time it takes to make them is uncertain.

Fortunately, Du Jiaoyang's pills are simple. Shi Lao thought of this when he wrote the prescription. Wait three or two days for the honey pills to dry in the shade, and then he can come and get the medicine.

The Yurong Powder that Li Shengli prescribed to Zhang Ying and Xiao Feng was also simple. It was nothing more than grinding and mixing. Just take it together with the pills.

Before leaving, Li Shengli didn't forget Miss Wu Xing who was staying at home. He selected several honey-zipped medicinal materials on the counter and treated them as snacks for her.

The place where clothes are measured is not far from Tongrentang. Unlike Li Shengli, the Xiao brothers and sisters don't like old-style clothes with double-breasted or slanted breasts.

Previously, Xiao Feng had to wear a slanted skirt because of her family's limitations. This time, she took advantage of her uncle Li Shengli's opportunity to measure clothes and made the request.

Li Shengli did not refuse this, but said that he did not have any industrial coupons and would give them to her when he got them.

At this time, Xiao Hu beside him patted the military shoulder, and Li Shengli knew that the female soldier of the Xiao family had been planning this for a long time.

The tailor lifted the placket of the short-sleeved shirt and the old cotton shirt, and the three of them finished the measuring process.

There are no short sleeves inside the old placket. In summer, it is also a long-sleeved white cotton placket. Many people in the village wear this. I don’t have to pay attention to the style. Wearing long sleeves in summer is also a happy thing.

Compared with tailors, there are fewer professional shoemakers now, because most families will make their own soles to make shoes. Purely handmade cloth shoes now account for most of the market in the shoe industry.

Compared with cloth shoes with plastic soles, no matter how good the handmade cloth shoes are, they are still low-end goods.

Nowadays, "white-bordered laziness" is popular in the youth circle. A pair of white-brimmed laziness, paired with white nylon socks, is considered a high-quality match among the disciples.

In this day and age, not all children can afford to wear three-jointed clothing.

The so-called white edge shoes are a kind of three-skin shoes, that is, old cloth shoes. Most of the shoes made at home are cloth soles, and those with better conditions can be equipped with tire soles.

There are almost three types of shoes bought in supply and marketing cooperatives, the fabrics are divided into glossy surfaces and suede surfaces, and the soles are more differentiated, such as red soles, white soles, and tire soles.

As for white-edged laziers, they are old cloth shoes with smooth surfaces, white plastic soles, and white edges. They are expensive and not easy to buy.

Most of the time, whether people in the circle are easy to mess with or not depends on their shoes. Those who wear three-jointed shoes are not easy to mess with, and the second is those who wear white hems and are lazy.

Xiao Hu next to Li Shengli is dressed like this, with white brim and white socks...

On the way, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought the Lenin clothes and small leather shoes that the female soldiers of the Xiao family had longed for.

When he got in the car and ran outside the east gate, Li Shengli shook his head. Everyone has a love for beauty. From old to young, no woman is easy to manipulate.

The person Xiao Hu was looking for was also the old master of Nei Liansheng who lived in the courtyard outside the east gate.The career path of craftsmen in these days is unstable, and it is more difficult for experienced craftsmen who make shoes. After all, almost every household makes their own shoes, and no one will spend the price of leather shoes to make a pair of cloth shoes that look similar.

In the dark and low hut, Li Shengli only glanced at it and knew that the hunched old man in front of him was struggling to survive.

It's not because of the hunched back, but because of the deformed hands. In Li Guishou's opinion, these hands are troublesome to hold things, let alone making shoes.

“Old sir, is it okay for my family to still do this?

Stretch out your hand and I'll rub it for you. I'll give you half a month's supply of herbal medicine, so you won't feel any pain in the near future. "

The old man who was preparing to make shoe lasts first glanced at Li Shengli's clothes, and then stretched out his severely deformed hands.

If you hurt your hand while making shoes, it is definitely tenosynovitis. In traditional Chinese medicine, bone injury is called tendon injury. The old man in front of you may have a bad business, but it is not too serious.

As for the deformed hands, they were injuries left over the years. Li Gui's hands could be reshaped, but it was unnecessary and would only increase the pain.

"Sir, is he a doctor?

Thank you. I still have two sons at home, both of whom work in the Second Shoe Factory. I have learned the skills, but they are not enough to make shoes for my husband. In ten years, they will be more or less..."

An expert will know if it is there as soon as Li Shengli touches it. The old man's hand no longer hurts as soon as Li Shengli touches it. He is not a white man. He was a high-end designer before. He knew that Li Shengli had a good background, so he didn't ask anything randomly. He just asked. Profession.

"That's right, old gentleman, I'll give you a handle on how to make shoe lasts.

Since you can't pass on your skills to others, you will still have to suffer from this job.

I don’t need the white copper on the toe of the shoe. Just put a few more layers of leather on it. I’ll use tire soles for the soles. I’ll add some elastic to the cuffs to make them more secure.

Tell me what you need, and I'll get it..."

With a few simple words, Li Shengli was able to wear the next generation of cloth shoes, and the old shoemaker was saved from death.

The old man has some lung problems. Looking at his living environment, if he doesn't improve it, he may not be able to live for more than ten years.

Improving the living environment is not unique to traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine also has it. It’s just that traditional Chinese medicine has theoretical support earlier, and it can still come out earlier after more than a thousand years.

The two of them finished measuring the feet and handles almost at the same time. The old man didn't mention the price, and Li Shengli didn't mention the prescription. After they both nodded, the shoe last work was considered done.

"Xiao Hu, I'll make some prescriptions, and you'll go get them later. I also bought a casserole and a stove for boiling medicine. By the way, bring some charcoal.

The old man is a wise man. If you pay a little more, you can bring some food stamps. If you have someone under your belt who has no job, you can ask the old man to take care of him and see what he wants. "

After giving orders to Xiao Hu, he went back to Tongrentang to prescribe a prescription. Li Shengli left him behind and took Xiao Feng to Houhai for a follow-up visit to Zhang Song, the uncle of the Xiao family.

Li Shengli didn't like to see the women and son-in-law of Zhang Song's family very much. He first let Xiao Feng enter the courtyard to take a look. He only entered the courtyard after Zhang Song was the only one.

"Brother Shengli, my family has lost control after being bedridden for a long time, so please forgive me..."

At the first word of the meeting, Zhang Song clasped his fists and bowed. Although he was still not good at what he did, the situation was much better than before.

Now he can move into the courtyard with crutches.

"You'd better thank Mr. Xiao, let me take a look..."

After taking a general look at Zhang Song's old injuries, he found that they were basically getting better. All he needed was rehabilitation. He gave Zhang Song a rough outline of the rehabilitation procedures. Li Shengli thought about it for a long time and finally spoke.

"According to what I said, you will be fine in another two or three months. If you usually eat more meat, after half a year, you should be almost the same as before the injury. But I don't know about the craftsmanship. You know best.

Sometimes people are unpredictable, and it's best not to put down your crutches.

I shouldn't have said this, but you are Uncle Xiao Feng. It's best not to say anything about my coming.

I will give the corresponding medicine to Xiao Hu and Xiao Feng, and I will also teach them some massage techniques.

What do you say? "

Having just finished instigating the old Xie family, Li Shengli was also helpless when he wanted to instigate Zhang Song again.

But the words remain the same. If Zhang Song was not Xiao Feng's uncle, there would be no need to say this.

"Ugh……

I saved it..."

After leaving the courtyard of Zhang Song's house, Li Shengli dropped Xiao Feng at Tongrentang again. He also gave her a prescription and taught her the massage techniques on the way. Xiao Feng also taught Xiao Hu.

After leaving Xiao Feng behind, Li Shengli drove to the canteen in Madianji and brought several jars and jars back to the Tongzi Building in the compound.

It was almost time to get off work, and Aunt Zou brought him the medical license issued by the district. Li Shengli shook his head when he looked at the labels such as Madianji and Wali on it.

Si Li was also trying his best to put a halter on him, but unfortunately in front of the craftsman and the Du family, Si Li was helpless and could only express his dissatisfaction with one word.

Because Li Shengli was at home alone, Aunt Zou didn't stay long, left her medical certificate and left in a hurry.

The female gangster was nowhere to be found when she went out. When it got dark, Li Shengli only waited for Du Peng who came home to ask for help. Du Jiaoyang would probably hang out outside until midnight.

"Brother-in-law, where is my sister..."

Seeing Li Shengli staying alone in an empty room, Du Peng asked about his sister's whereabouts. The expression on his face was a little narrow, but he seemed to be in a good mood.

"I'm just hanging around, how's your progress going?"

Glancing at Du Peng, who was in debt, I saw that this brother-in-law still didn't know his temper and was looking for trouble...
