Physician and Food [Farming]

Tie Dan built a greenhouse on a piece of land rented near the city.

The home side is already much better, but it is inevitable that there will be troubles in transportation on weekdays.And in winter, if there is heavy snow and the mountains are closed again, won't the store be shut down?

And the vegetables grown in the greenhouse are not afraid of too much, but only too little. Even if there are too many vegetables, just sell them to those who walk around the streets to buy vegetables.

The weather is getting colder, and Gouwa's house has already burned charcoal fire.At the beginning, Tie Dan sent silver charcoal, but now even half of it has not been used.There is no saving at home.It can only be said that the family is small, so many iron eggs have been sent.I feel like I can't use it up.

"Next year we will build another big house there. There must be at least three bedrooms. One for the two of us, one for Suotou. After Suotou marries a wife and has a child, the child will also have a spare house. It's better to have four. When the second sister brings her children back to visit, she can also live in a room alone."

"Then what about our current house?" Tie Dan laughed.

Gou Wa has already thought about it: "Our family has more and more livestock and greenhouses. It seems that the three of them are too busy. What's more, sister-in-law Taohua is pregnant, so she can't do heavy work. Spring will come next year." , let’s find two or three long-term workers to come in. It’s best to be a family and live in the same yard, which is convenient on weekdays.”

"In this way, more people will be hired." Tie Dan said.

"But the life is easier." Gouwa said, "let's look for those who are hardworking but hardworking. We have a good hardworking helper, and they can have a way of life. I have had a hard life. I have also I want to be a long-term worker in the past. Those who go out to earn a living are most afraid of meeting someone who is fierce and difficult to deal with. Since we have this ability, we need to hire people. Why bother to make things difficult for others. What kind of master I was looking for at the beginning, I will later What kind of master should we be? As long as they haven't made any serious mistakes, it's not bad for us to be a living Bodhisattva."

Tie Dan didn't answer in a hurry, but took a closer look at Gou Wa outside.Just when Gouwa thought he had made a mistake, Tiedan kissed him on the forehead: "Thanks to you thinking of this, you are getting more and more thoughtful."

The former Gouwa, what Tie Dan said and what it was.Sometimes even if you have something in your heart, it is not easy to say it all at once.As the two get along longer and longer, Gou Wa is getting more and more promising.

Gou Wa smiled and said, "Brother, you said that you are close to Zhu Zhechi. I have been with Big Brother for a long time, and I will learn from him."

"Closer to Zhu Zhechi..." This description is too iron-hearted.

Originally, the store wanted to expand and do something else.It's just that it's getting colder every day.Put it on hold until next year.

Now the store's daily income is good.Although these silver coins are just a drop in the bucket for Tie Dan, judging from the current development prospects, the future is still very promising.

The daily income of the store is about three taels, plus several pharmacies and Tie Dan's shares in other stores in the county, and the monthly income is several hundred taels.

But right now, Tie Dan grabbed a handful of valuables in his hand.Even if there is a day when you are short of money, it is no problem to just sell the same or different things.

Counting all the things in his hands, Tie Dan felt a little too small.But totally enough.

Gou Wa and Tie Dan's life has become more and more regular, but apart from farming, they have more business contacts.

Although it is a bit troublesome to enter the city for a long time.But the two of them walked along the road and talked all the way, and opened the curtain to look out the window from time to time, which was quite elegant.

It is also this time.Tie Dan got the news from Yunyan that a plague broke out in Beijing.

The cause of the plague was that a certain place in the south had been flooded by repeated torrential rains this year.Although the imperial court allocated money to rescue the victims, the food that was actually implemented was far from being able to fill the stomachs of the victims.

In order to avoid floods and famine, the victims began to move north on a large scale.They brought not only hungry belly, but also deadly plague.

When the disaster victims poured out of the city gate.None of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were willing to open the city gate.A porridge shed was opened outside the city gate, and a shack for temporary living was built.

But the gate of the city was still full of people coming and going, and soon there was an epidemic in the city.

Up to now, it has spread in the capital for more than a month.

And the emperor had just returned to the palace, when he learned the exact news at this time, the plague had already spread over the entire capital with almost devastating force.

Soon, with the capital as the center, it began to spread to the surrounding area.

This is the north of the Great Yan Kingdom, not too far from the capital.If the plague can no longer be controlled, it is only a matter of time before it spreads here.

After hearing this, Gouwa turned pale: "Brother, this plague..."

"Don't worry, I won't let you get infected." Tie Dan comforted.

"Then... can you cure it?" Gou Wa asked.

Tie Dan thought about it and gave a relatively general answer: "It can be cured, but it can't be cured."

Gou Wa understands that what Tie Dan said can be cured, it is his world that can be cured.But not here.

"Then...then it can't save other people?"

The plague, the serious one is the existence that can slaughter the city.

Although Gouwa didn't hear many words, he could tell from the sporadic words of the old people in the village that it was like harvesting rice with a sickle.

"I don't know what the disease is. Maybe when I see people who are sick, I will find that I can cure it." Tie Dan comforted.

"Are you going to treat it? Will it be infected?" Gouwa asked hurriedly.Although he didn't want to see people around him have accidents, he still didn't want Tie Dan to be infected with that dangerous disease.Even if there is only a one-in-a-million or even lower chance of infection.

"I'll be infected? I'm stupid." Tie Dan didn't want Gou Wa to worry about it any more, so he changed the subject, "What are we going to eat tonight? We have some free time today, so why don't we eat more dishes from you?" .”

When she is busy on weekdays, Li Taohua will come over to help with the cooking.After all, the two of them are holding several jobs now, and they don't have time to cook three meals a day every day.

Seeing how relaxed Tie Dan said, Gou Wa was somewhat relieved.

What's more, the plague hasn't spread here yet.Perhaps a cure will soon be found.

Hopefully, all this is nothing to worry about.

Accompanied by the autumn rain, these days are getting colder day by day.

The carriage that the two of them took when they went out was changed to a bigger one.A pot of fire was lit inside to keep the whole carriage warm.

Tie Dan occasionally returns to the Spring Hall to arrange some matters.He also ordered the shopkeeper to recruit a few more young disciples to expand his manpower.If the conditions are better after the next year, another branch pharmacy will be opened.

When there are more staff, Ao Mu still plans to think about opening semicolons.

If it is only opened in the countryside, the consumption must be very limited.But no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat.At least the market is laid.

And just as Tie Dan and Gou Wa were developing steadily, with the first light snowfall in winter, the county had its first case of being infected with the plague.

People are diagnosed in Huichuntang.But after the diagnosis is made, doctors can only prescribe some medicines that may be useful.Then the house was filled with moxa to drive away the plague, and everything touched by the plague-infected patient was burned.

But the plague still spread gradually with the movement of people.

Huichun Hall was overcrowded, and everyone wore veils and gloves to touch and treat people.But the effect is still minimal.

The tyranny of this plague was not recorded in medical books.

Tie Dan arranged everything in the house, and then asked Gou Wa to preside over the temporary closure of the locked stalls and shops, and scattered all the guys.Come back when the plague is over.

Gou Wa also took Lan Zi's family, Yao Xue and Liu Xiu'er back to the village.Yao Xue lives with Li Taohua temporarily.

And Tie Dan led the little lock directly.Put a veil and gloves on him, and start taking him with you to treat patients.

Children may be weaker.But by Tie Dan's side, whoever is infected, Tie Dan will only be infected by the lock.

And in Tie Dan's eyes, this is a rare and good opportunity to learn on the spot.

This plague is indeed tricky.Even though Tiedan had systematic help, he soon found out what kind of disease it was.There are very few traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions that can treat related diseases.However, those that are serious and easy to use still lack data support.

Then, it can only be tested repeatedly in clinical practice.

Tiedan didn't even have the chance to use the mouse.Only try it on patients.

Tie Dan rented an additional two-story building.A few patients with slightly different symptoms were admitted, and then only Locke and another clever fellow were left to help.

Just settled down on the first day, Tie Dan put on a lock in the morning of the second day, palpated each patient, and recorded the different symptoms of each patient.From time to time, tell the lock something to pay attention to.

It just so happened that there was a knock on the door.The clerk thought that there was a new patient, and opened the door while muttering: "Didn't it mean that this side is full and there is no need to send it here...Second Master? Uncle, Second Master is here."

Tie Dan was taken aback, and hurried over: "What are you doing here?"

"Everything has been arranged at home, I'm afraid you have something to do here." Gou Wa laughed.

In all fairness, Tie Dan didn't want Gou Wa to get involved.Even if he can ensure that Gouwa is fine, even if it is infected, he can save it.

"You can't be idle either. Go upstairs first. Xiaodouzi, take your second master upstairs and change your outfit. Just do as I taught you yesterday." Tie Dan ordered the buddy.

Xiaodouzi entered the pharmacy at the age of seven, and is now fifteen.People are also clever, and Tie Dan sees that others are good, so he also began to cultivate them intentionally.

"Second master, come with the little one."

Xiaodouzi led Gouwa upstairs, changed into light clothes, and put on a mask made of three layers of tulle.Then put on the buckskin gloves, and take a pill.I heard from Tie Dan that this pill has a promotion system, which reduces the possibility of infection.Gou Wa looked down at his outfit, feeling really strange.

But Tie Dan must have his reasons for letting him wear it like this.

In the following days, Gou Wa also stayed.He can only simply distinguish the medicinal materials.But cooking medicine is still proficient.On weekdays, Tie Dan took a lock to treat patients. After prescribing prescriptions, Gouwa and Xiaodouzi alternately brewed medicine.A family of three can be regarded as fighting together.
