Chapter 501 Female Bell Doctor
Chapter 501 (Backup) Female Bell Doctor
In the carriage in front, Wen Shu had no idea what Zhuo Rufeng was thinking.
At this moment, she just wanted to rush back to her hometown and start her farming plan.
Because he had wasted some time in Lin'an City, Wen Shu didn't want to stop on the rest of the journey unless he passed through a big city.
Unfortunately, the weather was not good. After leaving Lin'an City for a hundred miles, it rained all the way, with heavy rain and light rain.
Looking at the muddy ground, she suddenly felt a little irritated.
She had read history books and knew that there would be floods in the south in the near future, but she had no idea about the specific time, location, and extent of the disaster.
Because there is only a short sentence in the history books.
"In the summer of Guimao, there were many floods in the south and droughts in the north. The extent of the disasters is unknown."
If it was recorded by the historian of the time, it would certainly not be so vague and sloppy.
But it is said that their history books were compiled by later generations.
She guessed that some books might have been lost or damaged due to the war.
As a result, historians of later generations could only write this sentence vaguely based on clues in the fragments, or after cross-checking with other books.
However, since it has been raining continuously for the past two days, we have been traveling.
Presumably, the location of the flood in the south was likely along the route she took when she returned home.
Even at this point in time!
Thinking of this, she instantly perked up and took out the map to carefully check which lakes or rivers there were along the way.
Where exactly did the dike collapse, causing the flood?
If it is timely, maybe we can make some preparations in advance.
Time passed by every second as my fingers rubbed the map.
What she didn't know was that not long after they left, a group of female bell doctors came to Lin'an City.
A group of seven people walked through the streets holding cloth sails and shaking bells, specializing in treating women's diseases.
Because of the home visits, many women who usually avoid seeing a doctor are beginning to "be eager to seek medical help."
The leading female bell doctor is known as Madam Man.
She always wore a green cloth dress, had her hair neatly tied up, and had a kind smile on her face.
She has superb medical skills and is very patient in treating patients. When prescribing medicine, she also takes into account the family conditions of the people and tries to prescribe suitable and cheap medicinal materials.
The women who were cured by her all praised her medical skills.
The news spread by word of mouth among the neighbors, and within a few days, the news that a "female doctor" who specialized in treating women's diseases had come to Lin'an City spread among the people.
The backyard of a small inn.
“It turns out it really works!”
After receiving another batch of eggs from patients as a token of gratitude, the group of young ladies gathered together and jumped for joy.
After the six of them followed Madam Man and left Haozhou, they headed south.
On the way, they followed Madam Man to learn medical knowledge, recognize herbs, and collect herbs.
They thought they would encounter bandits on the road, and they were very nervous. Even though they spent money to follow the escort agency's convoy, they still didn't feel at ease.
But I didn't expect it to be so smooth and I arrived in Lin'an without any trouble.
"I didn't expect there is such a prosperous city in Jiangnan. I'm afraid it's not worse than the capital."
"Yes, it would be great if we could stay in Lin'an City."
After these words were spoken, there was a hint of anticipation in the eyes of several people.
After a moment, one of them said, "However, this matter still depends on Sister Man. Where is she?"
"She took Ye'er to sell medicinal herbs, and said she would give us a share of the money after selling the herbs."
At this time, in front of a drug store in Lin'an City, Madam Man was negotiating with the owner.
In order to make a living, they were not idle along the way. Although they were traveling with the escort company, they also hired a cart to follow them.
When the escort agency stopped to rest, she took the ladies to collect herbs nearby and taught them how to identify them.
There is strength in numbers. Although they are all young ladies, they work very efficiently. With the cooperation of several people, the herbs are packed one by one.
In order to preserve the herbs easily and sell them for money, they all got off the cart and walked, leaving the cart free to dry the herbs.
They stopped and walked like this, and by the time they arrived in Lin'an, they had accumulated a batch of medicinal herbs.
Although most of them are common medicinal herbs, you can occasionally pick some valuable ones.
After the shopkeeper looked at the "samples" she brought, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "The quality is indeed quite good. I will take them all at the price we agreed on before."
"Thank you very much." Madam Man bowed and said, "I will go back now and have someone send all the medicine over."
"Wait, I heard that you are an excellent doctor. Are you interested in coming to Huichuntang for consultation?"
Seeing this "female doctor" who suddenly became famous in Lin'an, the owner of the drug store wanted to recruit her.
For some women-specific diseases or childbirth matters, female doctors are indeed more convenient than male doctors.
If we could recruit her to work in the shop, the business and reputation of the shop would surely be taken to a higher level.
"Don't worry, the consultation fee we pay to the doctor is also considerable in Lin'an City. In addition, we will also get some commission from the prescription drugs."
The shopkeeper was about to lobby, but he didn't expect Madam Man to refuse outright.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm just passing through Lin'an City and will be leaving in a few days."
Although Lin'an City is nice, she does not want to be confined there. Her ambition is to travel all over Song Dynasty and treat more women.
If I can train some more female doctors, all I have learned in this life will be worthwhile.
Seeing that she looked determined and would not be easily shaken, the shopkeeper stopped trying to persuade her.
When Madam Man returned to the inn, a group of young ladies immediately surrounded her, and they started talking one after another about who had just delivered eggs.
After a while, one of them said, "I see that the people of Lin'an are very kind and this place is prosperous. How about we stay here?"
The person who was speaking was Li Min. She usually had the most ideas, but she was also the most efficient at work.
Madam Man glanced at her and said calmly, "I still want to continue heading south. If any of you feel that Lin'an is good and want to stay, you can. I won't force you."
"That's not what I meant." Li Min hurriedly explained.
"I just think that we have finally made a name for ourselves in Lin'an City. It would be a shame if we just leave like this."
"My original intention of studying medicine was to help the emperor's daughters suffer less from illness, so that they would not be afraid of seeing doctors because of gender differences. For me, reputation is more important than saving a few more lives, so it's not a pity."
Li Min was somewhat shocked by what she said, "Got it, I will never say such things again, wherever you go, I will go."
"So are we."
The group of young ladies smiled at each other.
Madam Man also told them the good news that the herbs had been sold, "Quick, gather the herbs and send them to Huichuntang. When the bill is settled, everyone will get a share."
Upon hearing this, the group quickly packed up the herbs and carried them to Huichun Hall.
In the end, it was sold for five taels and three cents.
That is five thousand three hundred coins.
There were seven people in their group, and based on the number of people, the price per person was about 757 Wen.
Qiuyan, who was in charge of accounting, only gave each person 257 coins as pocket money, and the remaining coins were put into the public account for travel expenses and food and drink.
Everyone had no objection and carefully put away the pocket money they earned.
At the same time, I am full of anticipation for the journey ahead.
Who says women can't make their own way in the world? !
Who says women can't practice medicine? !
Not only did they earn money with their own hands, they also helped many women get rid of their illnesses.
As long as they keep working hard, maybe one day they can become female doctors and be respected!
Thanks to fugudoku for the reward of 100 Qidian coins, mua!
It’s been almost a week since the last update.
Xiao Gu is here to update again today!
