Villager of Daming

Chapter 707: Painless saying is not painless

When dinner arrived, Zhu Yuanzhang finished his speech in the afternoon and squinted for another two hours. There was no donkey meat buns for dinner.

For dinner, the spicy soup was changed into hot pot soup, and everyone cooked the mutton.

Guanglu Temple would never dare to do this. The leftovers must be thrown away. Do you still want to have another meal?Tired of life?

It is impossible to waste Xiaqiu Village. This is the base of medicinal materials. Can Malatang be turned into hot pot?
"Let Shangyuan County organize it tomorrow to see if there are any teeth that need veneers or extractions. If the teeth at the back are extracted, they don't need to be veneered, right? Ours is the one that faces the front of the mouth."

Zhu Yuanzhang used chopsticks in one hand and a small slotted spoon in the other to rinse the mutton. He really rinsed it and took it back when it was cooked, not boiling or stewing.

After saying this, he took the cooked mutton, dipped it in the sauce, and chewed it deliciously.

"Your Majesty, yes, we asked the service staff of a street in Xiaqiu Village to observe carefully. Many people have missing teeth.

The child's teeth will be replaced once and they can grow back. There are special people who can replace their teeth twice, but they are too few.

Older people have difficulty eating due to dental problems, which affects their nutritional intake. "

The chief told me about the situation. Since we want to provide tooth denture and tooth extraction services, we need to collect receipts.

According to Hanhan, chewing will promote saliva secretion, and saliva will assist digestion. People are not pelicans, so they can just swallow them. Otherwise, why do they have teeth?
Not chewing affects digestion and nutrient absorption. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the quality of living water began to decline, lack of nutrition, and tooth loss was common.

A man who is only 40 years old has half of his teeth missing. Because of this, it is very painful for him to eat.

Whenever I eat, I feel like I am getting old if I can't eat this or that.

The more you think you are old, the faster you will age. Before you can contribute to the social and economic development of Ming Dynasty, you will die.

Hurry up and have your teeth fixed. On average, one person has one hundred guan for dentures, and 1000 million people only get 100 million guan. This year, the palace's income is more than [-] million guan.

The key point is that this hundred cents is not the cost, but the commodity price and the palace subsidy. Can Xiaqiu Village make this money?

Teeth are very cheap and the cost is not much, but pursuing profits is different.

People in the Ming Dynasty do not have that spending power, so they either do not provide it to ordinary people, or they charge lower prices.

I wanted to provide services to the people but didn't want to lower prices, so I used palace subsidies to maintain the prices, getting the best of both worlds.

Such wealthy people had to spend a lot of money to have inlaid teeth, such as the gold ceramic teeth now used in villages and palaces.

……

"It's free to have your teeth fixed, and it doesn't hurt anymore to have your teeth pulled out. Go quickly! There is a tent set up just outside Chaoyang Gate to the south of Xiaqiu Village. Go quickly!"

"They don't ask people to go there! Who dares to go there?"

"When will no one be allowed to go there? Don't rush in! Outside, let's go outside. There is an open space outside. Now build a shed."

"Why is their land empty? It turns out that I remember there were a few little dirtbags there, and they were all leveled. Why is it empty?"

"Why do you care if you don't have time? Do you want to get teeth? It's free. There's no charge for tooth extraction, the palace will pay for it."

"Is it okay if I ask?"

"Okay, but don't ask me, I don't know if anyone else is going, hurry up!"

"Can my tooth be extracted? It's growing in the back, sideways."

"Ask yourself, I don't know how to extract teeth."

"That's what you shouted!"

"I shouted before that Daming won the battle with Lin. Do I have to fight? Do I have the ability?" "Then why are you shouting?"

"Go away, everyone who wants to have their teeth extracted or fitted should queue up at the south side of Xiaqiu Village outside Chaoyangmen!"

Everyone spread the word, and after human-to-human transmission, a group of people moved towards that direction. Some people carried their mother or father on their backs to get their teeth fixed.

No matter what others say, they go and see first. Can Xiaqiu Village lie to others?It’s still subsidized by the palace!
When we arrived at the place, a stall was set up, mainly for dental implants, and there was only one place for tooth extraction.

Zhu Yuanzhang stayed with his ministers today, all in regular clothes, to see how many people needed dental implants and extractions.

"My lords, they all say that toothache is not a disease. The pain is really terrible. Today I tell you that bad teeth are a disease, especially for those who are old and have few teeth left."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he licked the position of his left wisdom tooth with his tongue. He felt a little pain and needed to recover for a few days.

His tooth had been pulled out. Zhu Wentian had done it himself, and it was now swollen. Someone was preparing ice cubes next to him, ready to wrap a clean towel at any time and give him a cold compress.

This is a smear-type anesthesia, which reduces the trouble of poor healing of pinholes after anesthesia.

He currently needs to take medicine to speed up his recovery. He does not need to have dental implants. He is happy if he is not in pain.

People don't need injections. They use inhalation anesthesia. After extraction, they bite a piece of medical absorbent cotton and someone tells them how to eat.

If you see any rotten spots, i.e. ulcers, go to Huimin Pharmacy, where you can find Watermelon Frost and Bingboran Powder.

Getting dentures is easy. You need to state your place of residence, your name, take your fingerprints, and get a number plate. When the time comes, you can go to the fixed location over there to get the teeth with the number plate, and someone will help you try them on.

No matter which one you are used to, you should enjoy cleaning your teeth first. Most people vomit bloody water after cleaning their teeth. They have never washed their teeth before.

"If this medicine is spread out, it is most convenient to abduct people by covering it up. Your Majesty, please keep a close watch on it."

Hu Weiyong was frightened when he saw the person who pulled out the tooth fainted when he covered his mouth with gauze.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Hu Weiyong, why do you need to say more?Who doesn’t know the power of this medicine?
The people over there who had bitten the marks on their teeth breathed in and out from time to time, washing their teeth to wash away the tartar, and there was air leakage in some places.

At the same time, I didn't rub it, and it always felt like it was rubbing my tongue when I licked it.

There are also some that do not require tooth extraction or dentures. If there is a hole in the tooth, then it should be plugged. In some cases, part of the tooth is missing and the nerve is exposed. Then the nerve will be removed with a needle, which is called nerve killing. When it is ready, it will be put on.

The person who had his tooth extracted would bite the cotton and nod to others, indicating that it didn't hurt. In fact, there was no way it would hurt. It was just different from the pain of normal tooth extraction. When the pain was the worst, he fainted.

The tools used are also different. Instead of using a rope to tie the teeth and pull them, there are special pliers.

"It still hurts. It's longer." Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his tooth hurt when he saw others pulling out teeth.

"Apply some more anesthesia for Your Majesty?" the chief suggested. You can also apply external anesthesia again after the tooth is extracted, which will help you recover better.

So Zhu Yuanzhang no longer felt any pain, so he put a handkerchief wrapped in ice on that position to speed up the swelling reduction.

Xu Da, Tang He and other generals looked at it and wanted to laugh, but His Majesty was afraid of pain now.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to feel it and turned to look at them: "When you need to extract your teeth, we won't give you anesthetic. Why should we hold it up if it doesn't hurt?"

Everyone quickly changed their expressions. They were also afraid of pain. They had to force the tooth out without anesthesia, and they were frightened just thinking about it.

There are also children who come here to have their teeth extracted. When the time comes for the teeth to be replaced, the teeth are loose and won’t come out. Come here and have a look.

This method does not require anesthesia. To check the looseness, use a needle and a knife to separate the gum tissue covering the teeth, and then pull the teeth out directly.

The little kid who was still waiting for numbness looked at his teeth and felt like something was missing.
