Song Yi

Chapter 78 Acute Wound Infection

Lin Qingdai poured the silver ingots and broken silver in the purse onto the counter, weighed it, and there were a little over 92 taels in total.

Lin Qingdai put the money in the purse and handed it back to Du Wenhao, saying:

"This money is barely enough to buy a small courtyard, but not a decent house. If you want to buy land, I'm afraid it's not enough."

Xue Fei'er stuck out her tongue, and said to Pang Yuqin:
"Ha, I still can't get married! Do it in a hurry!"

Pang Yuqin glared at her, and a look of disappointment flashed across her face.

Lin Qingdai glanced at Pang Yuqin and said with a smile:

"Today is a blessing in disguise. Everyone in the yamen lobby knows that Mr. Du is good at Hua Tuo's magical skills. Once the news spreads, many patients will come to Dr. Du for treatment. Are you worried about not making money? I said, if you want to start a family business, you can't be too simple, at least you have to buy a decent three-door mansion, and it's decent to marry a bride, Miss Pang, are you right?"

Pang Yuqin shyly lowered her head and dared not speak.

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Lin is right. I don't want to buy a house that is too simple. I should save enough money to buy real estate and land. ——Shopkeeper Lin, you can keep the money for me. Is that okay?"

"That won't work. We are a joint stock company. If I collect the money for you, it will break the rules. It's better for Miss Pang to keep your money, so she can have a better idea."

Qian Bu Shou stroked his beard and shook his head:
"Shopkeeper Lin's words are a little inappropriate. If you say something like this before you even pass the door, I'm afraid someone will gossip and damage the reputation of the third lady. When the third lady came to beg the old man to save the master, she almost knelt down in desperation. It can be said that Miss has a deep affection for Master, which is admirable!"

Xue Fei'er smiled and said: "Genius doctor, you should call her Master Mistress! Hehehe"

Pang Yuqin was so ashamed that her neck turned red, and said angrily:

"You son of a bitch, I think you really don't want to live today! It's up to you!"

Chasing Xue Feier to fight.

Lin Qingdai said: "There are many patients in the hall waiting for Mr. to see a doctor, stop making trouble!"

It turned out that when they came back from the yamen, more than a dozen patients came with them, and they wanted Du Wenhao to see a doctor, so the two daughters stopped fighting.

Qian Bushou took his two disciples and left as well.

After that day, the number of patients who came to Wuweitang for treatment increased significantly.

Quite a few of them require minor surgery, such as ulcers, carbuncles, furuncles, and the like, without major surgery.But it was enough for Du Wenhao to be busy.

Fortunately, Xuefeier and Pang Yuqin were there to help, and Pang Yuqin helped copy the recipe. Du Wenhao was full of praise for her neat and graceful lowercase script.

When encountering non-urgent and relatively common cases, Du Wenhao would explain them to the two daughters and teach them how to make a diagnosis. However, Chinese medicine is extensive and profound, and after a long time, the two of them heard nothing but mist.

But they also know that it takes a long time to memorize and accumulate experience to learn medicine well, and it can't be accomplished in three or two days. Besides, the second daughter's mind is not all on studying medicine. With Du Wenhao.

Du Wenhao thought of the difficulty of performing surgery on Patrol Liu alone, and decided to train the two women to become his own surgical assistants before training them in gynecology. The last time he talked too hastily, this time he taught them well.

When there were no patients, Du Wenhao explained to the two of them in detail the knowledge that surgical assistants should have.

Tell them how to prepare for surgery, the importance of sterilization, how to carry out sterilization, and teach them how to stop bleeding, ligate, wipe blood, expose the operative field, pull hooks, cut threads, etc.

In the process of dealing with patients' boils or wound infections and other minor operations, Du Wenhao explained in detail the basic surgical knowledge such as debridement, suture, drainage, and dressing changes.

He also found two pieces of pork with skin to let the second daughter practice freely.

There were many more patients who came to see the doctor on this day than before. When it was dark and the door was closed, there were still several patients who hadn't seen the doctor.

Although tired, but very happy.

Lin Qingdai made an inventory, and in the half-day after she came back, the turnover of medicinal materials sales was several times that of the previous day. After deducting the cost, the income of the day was in surplus for the first time.

Since Lin Qingdai ran the Wuweitang Pharmacy, she has been losing money almost all the time. She even lost her dowry. Today is the first time she has made money. Although the profit is not too much, for her, making money is enough joy up.

Lin Qingdai hurriedly told Du Wenhao and Pang Yuqin about this, and they were also very happy.

It seems that today's bad thing has turned into a good thing, which actually helped Du Wenhao expand his popularity and influence, and Xu Sihai didn't dare to make trouble openly, so the number of patients increased significantly.

While Lin Qingdai was happy, she cooked two side dishes by herself. Everyone gathered together and drank wine to celebrate the pharmacy's first turnaround.

However, as soon as everyone drank the first glass of wine, someone knocked on the door before they had time to eat.

Silly Pang hurriedly answered the door, opened the small door, and saw Ji Shitang's silly head standing at the door.Hantou asked anxiously:
"Is my master here?"

"Here! We're eating in the back hall, come in and eat together?"

"No, I have something urgent to find Master!" Hantou hurried through the lobby, came to the backyard, bowed to Du Wenhao, and said, "Master, Master invites you to Jishi Hall."

"Is something wrong? I'm eating right now?"

"There is an emergency, and Master wants to ask you to consult."

Lin Qingdai asked, "Are you in such a hurry? You don't even care about your meal?"

"Yes... it's urgent. In the morning, my senior brother... used... the method taught by the master... to treat the wound of Detective Zhou. Now, Detective Zhou has a high fever all over his body and is unconscious. , delirium, after the master's examination, the master said that arrester Zhou was in danger of his life, so I would like to ask you, master, to go to the consultation together."

Du Wenhao and Lin Qingdai glanced at each other, their hearts sank.

Du Wenhao stood up and said, "I'll go and have a look, you guys continue to eat!"

"I am coming too!"

Pang Yuqin stood up after him. Seeing Du Wenhao's solemn expression, Pang Yuqin felt worried.

Xue Feier also clamored to go.Du Wenhao nodded, thinking that this involved trauma treatment, which just allowed the two of them to have a perceptual understanding, so he took the second daughter, carrying his own consultation box, and followed Hantou to Jishitang.
