The old Chinese doctor in the courtyard

Chapter 27 Cooperation
"What kind of art do you learn from, you have been an honest child since you were a child.

It's okay to learn a little bit from Master Liu, and you won't suffer a lot when you go out in the future.

On Mom's side, no matter whether you do good deeds or bad deeds, you just can't do things that lose morality.

If you just read a few books, you dare to see a doctor and take so many things from them, that's not good! "

After calling Li Shengli, Han Jinhua got up to check the piles of things in the house.

More than ten catties of millet, one hundred catties of dried melons, eight large pumpkins, half a jar of meat oil, two jars of shochu, and sixteen pairs of cotton shoes.

Not to mention the smoked fish and smoked rabbit in the sack, such a meaty smell, you can't eat it several times a year.

Food and liquor are not easy to buy, but they are not worth much, and if you add meat and oil, you can get 30 to [-] yuan.

But [-] pairs of cotton shoes are really worth a lot. The better cotton shoes in the supply and marketing cooperative cost more than ten yuan, and the cheaper cloth shoes cost five or six yuan.

Money alone is not enough, and you need industrial tickets to buy shoes, although Li Shengli took some things.

But the pile of things in the room is conservatively estimated to be worth a hundred or ten yuan. Han Jinhua said that Li Shengli received too much consultation money, and she didn't just say it casually.

"Mom, isn't this a coincidence?

Haiye's family gave half of it, and the rest was given by Wali Village, saying that it cured the strong laborers in their village.

The rabbit and the fish were caught on the mountain by me and a few boys from the Zhao family.

Cotton shoes are bought in exchange for picked up things.

Mom, wrap me a piece of smoked fish, and I'll go to Zhima Hutong. "

After explaining the source of the things again, Li Shengli decided to strike while the iron was hot, and finalized the details of the cooperative visit with Master Liu.

Taking advantage of the fact that the brothers of the Zhao family were going to transport those rags back, it happened to be another trip to Wali.

"Don't worry, just put things away with me first.

I think these fish and rabbit meat are not very dry yet, let's hang them in the house to dry, don't cover them anymore, and spoil good things. "

What the son said made sense. Han Jinhua accepted the food on the ground, and the things became her own, so she couldn't pile them up randomly.

These are a lot to eat, and I'm afraid of causing unnecessary trouble if I don't put them away.

Stopping Li Shengli who was about to go out again, the couple began to look for a place in the house to put these things.

The west wing of the front yard where Li's family lived was occupied by people living in the east and west rooms. To keep warm in winter, a paper shed was pasted up.

This is similar to the suspended ceilings of later generations. The skeleton is made of sorghum straw, newspapers are glued on the skeleton, and a layer of colored paper is pasted on the outside, which is a virtual shed.

The space separated from the roof ridge is a very good thermal insulation layer, which can keep the bungalow warm in winter and cool in summer.

The main room is the public area for cooking, eating, washing and rinsing. Because of the high smoke and fire, there is no fuzzy shed, and thick purlins are exposed.

Iron rings are smashed on the purlins, ropes are put on, and a wicker basket is hung below, which is the best storage space.

Siheyuan is a one-story house, and it is inevitable that there are small animals such as rats, ants and mosquitoes.

Hang food from the beams to keep it dry and reduce the risk of being eaten by mice.

He kept a bowl of millet, two smoked fish and one smoked rabbit, and hung the rest of the food on the beam in two baskets.

Han Jinhua moved the water tank in the house again, and lifted out a square brick, revealing a small cellar.

After putting two altars of sweet potatoes into it, she clapped her hands and reset the water tank.

"A fish is like a rabbit. Mr. Liu is a man who pushes high and tramples low. If there are few greetings, he will look down on you."

After instructing Li Shengli, Han Jinhua found a few old newspapers, wrapped the smoked fish and rabbit, and handed them over.

"Mom, don't worry too much, Mr. Liu is old, his legs and feet are inconvenient, and he can't go out.

I'm a half-child, and now it's his leg, how dare he treat me well? "

Li Shengli is also very aware of Master Liu's dilemma in Zhima Hutong. He can't get out of the house with a broken leg, and doctor Ling can't do it. Now is the time for the hunchback to go up the mountain.

"It's good, I went out for a trip, and I grew my mind.

I changed my clothes, they looked tattered and out of shape.

We are going to apprentice, so we should dress decently.

You wait, I'll get your dad's clothes. "

In the past two days in the valley, Li Shengli went up and down the mountain and went to the water, and he didn't make much trouble.

The old-fashioned work clothes were scratched by the bushes on the mountain, and there were many holes, which looked really shabby.

"Mom, you don't need to look for it, that's all right, what Master Liu wants to see is not my clothes, but my ability.

Master Hai's grandson bought a batch of old clothes in a trust store. It doesn't cost much if we want some. "

Except for the winter coat on his body, most of Li Shengli's own cabinets are shorts, vests and the like.

Of the three children in the family, the best-dressed sister is Li Yinghong, brothers Li Shengli and Li Jianshe, and they can only pick on Lao Tzu's mistakes.

As for the new clothes, don't even think about it. A shirt worth a dozen dollars and a suit worth a dozen dollars are not what the Li Shengli brothers should have.

In addition to money, if you want a new outfit, you also need cloth tickets and industrial tickets. Tickets are the biggest problem.

Thinking of the old clothes in Xiao's house, Li Shengli thought about making a temporary transition.

The upper body is brand new clothes, which will inevitably make people jealous.

But if you want to wear old clothes, you have to ask your mother Han Jinhua what she means. Some people are quite taboo about this, fearing that there may be problems with the origin of the clothes.

"It's okay to get some unlined clothes and trousers, it's better not to have cotton clothes and trousers, they are all old goods that have been stored for a long time.

It's not clean and it's not clean when you wear it. "

Han Jinhua is also familiar with the old clothes Li Shengli mentioned.

Although there is an employee in the family, the life of the Li family is not well off.

I have just come out of a difficult time, and although my family has regained a bit of vitality, there is a long-standing illness, and it is difficult to live comfortably.

As for the old clothes, Han Jinhua had nothing to resist, but Li Shengli asked for less cotton-padded clothes and trousers.

It takes time to unpack and wash those clothes, which will delay her gluing the paper boxes.

In response to his mother's call, Li Shengli left the courtyard with smoked fish and rabbit wrapped in newspapers.

The purpose of Li Shengli's partnership with Mr. Liu as a traveling doctor is very simple, that is to eat well.

The gold bricks in the field can only be exchanged for money. At this time, it is difficult to eat well if you just have money.

Although you can buy some tickets in the pigeon market, it also depends on the opportunity. The pigeon market was not opened by Li Shengli, and it is impossible to have everything you want.

Instead of risking the exchange at the Pigeon Market, it is better to go directly to the place of origin of the food.

This time, the harvest in Wali Village is very good. If it is not distributed, it will be enough for the family to eat well for half a month. With a little provincial inspection, it will be enough for a month.

When he arrived at Zhima Hutong, Li Shengli knocked on the door knocker and called the door as usual. He opened the door and entered the courtyard after hearing the bell in the house.

The courtyard of Mr. Liu's house was a little cleaner than last time. Obviously, his technique was good. Mr. Liu was already trying to move around.

"Master Liu!"

Still the same as last time, Master Liu, who was wearing a double-breasted black padded jacket and crotch-closing cotton trousers on his legs, stood at the door leaning on a stick.

"Yo... Li family boy, Lord Liu is waiting for you.

Figured out? "

Seeing the things wrapped in newspapers under Li Shengli's armpit, Master Liu's triangular eyes lit up, and he can go out to earn a living in the future.

"Um!

But before the joint venture, our father and I have to compete in technology, and how to divide the more we earn, we still have to agree in advance. "

Because of his mother Han Jinhua's reminder, Li Shengli is wary of Master Liu.

If the evaluation of black heart and poor workmanship is true, then Master Liu is a quack doctor who uses the guise of bell doctor to make money.

Li Shengli has to be cautious about starting a business with such a person.

"it is good!

He is a scheming person. Although your master Liu has no medical skills, he is not an unknown person.

There used to be four famous doctors in Sijiu City, two of them were family heirlooms, one family was born in an official career, but Wang's family was inherited from master to apprentice.

The Liu family is not talented, and it is the same family of the Wang family. If my senior brother is still around, how can you have the opportunity for your kid? "

Speaking of the inheritance of the master and the glory of the family, Master Liu standing at the door of the main house couldn't help but straighten his back.

His eyes also became a little cloudy, as if he was filled with the prosperity of the past.

"It's just a coincidence that in the Army General Academy this morning, I met Mr. Shi's apprentice, Mr. Dong.

Master Dong wanted to take me into the entrance wall, but my family was struggling, so I declined. "

After hearing Li Shengli's words, Master Liu, who was standing at the door, his eyes became clear again, and he carefully sized up the boy standing in the yard.

Rubbing his beard with his hands, he fell into deep thought. Shi Lao's lineage is a family tradition, and it didn't spread until he arrived in Sijiu City.

Knowing Shi Lao's context, but still refusing, the kid in front of him is unusual.

"It's a pity, there are connections between the four famous doctors, and there may be opportunities in the future.

If the world hadn't changed, Master Liu of your family would have his disciples and grandchildren to support him, so he wouldn't have to beg him all the time, what a pity!
Back then, there was a constant stream of people coming and going from my Liu family, and this property was just a pharmacy used by my family in Dongcheng for outpatient visits.

Back then, Mr. Liu lived in Bada Hutong every night, and the prosperity in it was beyond your imagination.

Forget it, it's not that Mr. Liu has no money, he's just greedy for food and drink.

Back then, my Liu family's blood was cut off after I wandered around. You have to promise to die for me.

Master Liu is gone, this house and its contents are yours too.

But there is one thing, you have to ensure that Mr. Liu will not be hungry, and he will have a meaty meal every now and then. "

After hearing Master Liu's conditions, Li Shengli's expression turned ugly.

Isn't this the end of the pension?
This Mr. Liu had the same idea as the old man and the deaf old lady in the courtyard, and he wanted to take care of himself for the elderly at the end of his life.

He felt that compared with the prescribed ratio, the condition of endowment retirement is a bit too much.

"Master Liu, is it not good for us to practice medicine together and earn consultation fees?

Although I have no skill in pulse diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine, I still have some experience in bone setting and reset.

This is the smoked fish and smoked rabbit that I earned on this trip to Wali. I think we two, let’s talk about how to share it! "

Li Shengli has no interest in giving an old man his retirement.

If the old man becomes paralyzed in the future, it will take a lot of his energy.

If you agree, you must take good care of Mr. Liu, and let go after you promise on the surface. According to Han Jinhua, this matter is a bit immoral.

"to make!

With your words, Lord Liu will rely on you.

Master Liu said before, it's not that I don't have money.

The medicine cabinet in the Nanbaozuo came out of the Grand Hospital in the palace during the Gengzi Rebellion, and Su made the pineapple wood cabinet.

In the Westinghouse, there is still part of the collection of books from Taiyuan Hospital, including the medical books and medical records collected by generations of my Liu family.

These are not enough?

In the medicine cabinet, there are three roots of wild ginseng more than a hundred years old, and countless precious medicines of various colors, all of which are the inheritance of my Liu family.

Although you, Master Liu, are an unworthy disciple, you also know the importance of inheritance.

These things were exchanged by Master Liu in exchange for two places and three entrances.

I thought that when I was dying, I would find a disciple and grandson of the Liu family to inherit it.

Since Xiao Dong is optimistic about your talent, then we father and son are everywhere?
As long as you are close, after Master Liu is buried, this house and its contents will all be yours.

The inheritor of the Liu family's medical lineage is also yours, and those disciples and grandchildren of the Liu family will also look up to you. "

Undoubtedly, the conditions given by Master Liu are extremely generous. If any of what he said is true, it will be enough to support him until the end of his life.

"Master Liu, it's better for us to be clearer in the early stage."

Master Liu's things were a burden to Li Shengli. After thinking about it for a while, he still insisted on his previous idea.

"Good boy, let's split the bill between three and seven. You seven and I three. Master Liu wants to see how talented you are."

Li Shengli can accept Master Liu's three-to-seven split, and hand over the paper bag under his arm to Master Liu, and the cooperation between the two will be finalized.
