Datang Imperial Physician

Chapter 10 Different treatment in ancient and modern times

idle!leisure!Quite leisurely!

Wei Zhi looked resentfully at the line in front of Xie Jiu and Sun Simiao, and at the desertedness in front of his seat, couldn't help feeling sad.

For a full ten days after opening, Xie Jiu's internal medicine business is getting better every day, but his surgery department has no one to inquire. In other words, his general surgery department was one of the high-income departments in the hospital back then. It really made him a little psychologically unbalanced, and he couldn't get used to it all at once.Wei Jia had nothing to do, so he jumped to the backyard to train chefs.

In other words, after speaking with Wu Liu about the plan to open a restaurant, an agreement was reached very smoothly. Wu Liu will come forward to manage it, and Wei Jia will provide the chef and land.

The servants purchased from Ren Yazi arrived soon.A total of 25 servants were bought from three people. The oldest one was [-] years old and the youngest was only ten years old. They were all from poor families. They were all very happy to be bought as slaves in Chang'an City, especially the young ones. When I went to buy it, I specially publicized how kind and generous Wei Chi, the master, was, and almost everyone rushed to come.

The two widows Liu and Zhang and Uncle Cheng who were left behind in the medical clinic have been promoted to stewards after Xie Jiu's test. Widow Liu leads two little girls and recruits younger brothers, and four people manage the backyard.Widow Zhang was in charge of the kitchen, and Uncle Cheng was promoted to be the housekeeper, succeeding Wu Liu, in charge of the purchases and matters at home.The two brothers of the Cheng family led twenty servants to the farm to take care of Zhuangzi's affairs.For the rest, they selected four girls, two big, two small, and four girls, to follow the kitchen to learn their skills, and after they finished their studies, they followed Wu Liu to the restaurant.

Then he hired two accountants, one surnamed Shen and the other surnamed Jiang.Accountant Shen is in charge of all the general ledgers of the family, and accountant Jiang is in charge of the restaurant.In order to prevent the occurrence of fraudulent incidents, at home, Uncle Cheng, the housekeeper, is in charge of the money in and out, and the accountant keeps the accounts; Wu Liu manages the cash in the restaurant, and Jiang the accountant keeps the accounts, and the two parties do not interfere with each other.

The women selected to learn cooking skills are all good at cooking, as long as they have a little training, give pointers on the usage of seasonings and the control of the heat, and teach some cooking methods of dishes, they can be independent.

During the Tang Dynasty, many seasonings used by later generations had been introduced to China, but the Tang people had not yet learned how to use them. Most of the seasonings were used as medicinal materials and sold in pharmacies.However, there are no peppers yet. Fortunately, Wei Jia brought a large bag of dried peppers that his mother dried for him when he traveled through time.Now, this bag of peppers has become a treasure, and he specially sorted out a piece of land in the garden and sprinkled the seeds, hoping to grow peppers.

Apart from training chefs, Wei Jia has nothing to do. Thinking of the corn seeds in the warehouse, his heart is burning.Now is the time for spring sowing, just in time to plant corn.Wei Jia looked at the packaging of the seeds on purpose. This is a drought-resistant mountain corn seed. He remembered that the driver's hometown is a mountainous area, and he should have brought it specially for his family.

For other cabbage and tomato species, taking advantage of the warm weather, Wei Zhi shoveled half of the garden, planted tomatoes and cabbage, and prepared to save more seeds.Tomatoes cannot be planted in winter without a greenhouse. The main purpose is to save seeds for next year. Cabbage is reserved for winter. In ancient winters, it was not easy to eat a plate of vegetables.

In addition, the bag Wei Zhi didn't know what kind of seeds it was, after Xie Jiu saw it, he was sure it was strawberry. Xie Jiu had planted it in a flower pot on the balcony before, so he recognized it.Wei Chi was very surprised by this conclusion. It turns out that strawberries also have seeds.

Now that it's confirmed that there are such delicious fruits, both Wei and Xie are very active and ask the housekeeper, Uncle Cheng, to buy a few large flower pots and plant all the seeds.

History has changed inadvertently. Corn, tomatoes, and strawberries were introduced to China in advance. I wonder if the Chinese will be the first to discover tomatoes in future historical records?Wei Zhi was very proud of YY, and thanked the driver again in his heart.

Wei Jia had nothing to do, so he went to Zhuangzi with corn seeds to be a farmer. This made Sun Simiao, who wanted to see modern surgery very much, very regretful. Looking at Wei Jia's eyes, it was called cold, which made Wei Jia dare not Show up in front of him, nest in the farm all day long, only dare to return to the city when the city gate is close.

"Uh... Ah! You are so kind!"

"Easy... oh, focus!"

"It's a little bit above... yes, it's right here, use your strength!"

"Oh... so comfortable!"

With a sound of "slap", a certain man was slapped hard on the back, Xie Jiu's face was red and white, it was just to help him massage his waist, as for calling it like this? !
(Above, if you want to be crooked, turn to the right with the author, sit facing the wall, and start to think about it...)
Wei Chi had a smirk in his heart, with a serious face on his face: "After working hard for half a month, the corn finally sprouted, and it's not in vain for me to work so hard to take care of it."

He stretched out his hand to pull Xie Jiu down on the bed, hugged her into his arms, smelled her hair, and said, "Ma'am, we have corn, how about opening a pig farm?"

"Waste food!"

"Uh...I mean feeding corn stalks with hogweed, not to mention too much, should be able to feed a pen a year?"

"But overall, it's not cost-effective. It's better to distribute the corn stalks to the farmers so that everyone can increase their income."

After Xie Jiu's legs got better, he went to Zhuangzi with Wei Zhi. In this era, the life of farmers is still very poor. Some families can't even afford clothes, and the village is full of children running around with bare buttocks.

"In the past few days, you don't have to hide in the farm anymore. Brother Sun was invited away."

"Hmm! Is there anyone else here to make trouble?"

In ancient times, men were superior to women, and there were very few female doctors. In the first few days when Xie Jiu was in the clinic, if Sun Simiao hadn't supported her, there might not have been patients willing to let her see a doctor. There were even some guys dressed as Confucian scholars. Women, those with a good temper turned their heads and left, and those who were more rigid, rushed up and cursed people, which made Wei Chi very angry. When encountering such a person, he would be kicked out without saying a word.

Fortunately, the medical clinic has been open for nearly a month, and Xie Jiu's medical skills have spread, and there have been female doctors in history. Xie Jiu is beautiful, and some good people spread the word. It was a good compliment.For this reason, Wei Jia also ate a meal of flying vinegar, which made Sun Simiao laugh.

"I don't know who invited Big Brother Sun. It seems that there are many powerful families in the early Tang Dynasty."

Being extremely bored, Wei Chi started flirting.Xie Jiu rolled his eyes at him, was silent for a while, and said, "A few days ago, Big Brother Sun discussed with me the treatment of Qi disease."

"Ailment?!"

"Well, qi disease is the name for respiratory diseases in ancient times."

"Qi disease... Qi disease... It seems that in the Tang Dynasty, it was still a serious illness that killed people. Now it is the ninth year of Zhenguan, and in history..."

Wei Jia stopped talking, his eyes were shining, he turned his head, and stared at Xie Jiu's eyes that were as bright as his. Opportunity!However, with opportunity comes danger.Wei Jia confirmed again that he did marry a strong woman as his wife, which is a headache.
