Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 10 Magic
Su Tong was not angry, nor was he in a hurry to look at the account book. He first went to the little guy who kept the account and asked him in a soft voice the prices of all the medicinal materials in Qingchuntang.

She was beautiful and kind, and her voice was as melodious as a yellow warbler, and she was good at guessing people's hearts. When the young man saw her asking each other in such a soft voice, his body became numb, and he answered whatever he asked. He told Su Tong everything in detail, and he was afraid that he could not explain clearly.

Su Tong took a piece of paper on the counter to pack the medicine, took a pen and ink, and carefully wrote down what the boy said.

The female shopkeeper glanced at the side curiously, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "You really have a good handwriting."

In fact, Su Tong was also quite surprised. She used to spend too much time on the computer, and she was not good at writing. Although it is not so distinctive, it is really a solid foundation.

This is probably the only good thing that happened to Su Tong when she came back from time travel. If she can return to the 21st century one day, she will finally be better than that genius Lin Mu in one place.

Lin Mu is good at everything, but his handwriting is like a dog crawling. No, it should be said that he is not even as good as a dog crawling.

For a whole morning, Su Tong strolled over to the sitting doctor for a while to watch him diagnose the patient's pulse, and then went to help the little fellows grabbing the medicine.

She is such a beautiful girl, wandering around in the pharmacy is not annoying, and she is quite careful, has good eyesight, and works hard, so she is very attractive to the people in the pharmacy.It wasn't because she was a woman that these people rejected her.

It's just that Qingchuntang recruits accountants, and the boys are all secretly amused by her being so idle. No one really thinks that she can stay as an accountant.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Just after noon, it was the turn of a child about two years old to see a doctor.

Xu Shi didn't like the smell of the pharmacy very much. As soon as the child was carried by his mother and walked in front of the doctor, he burst into tears, twisting his body while crying, refusing to live in peace.

The doctor sitting in the hall of Qingchun Hall is about sixty years old. He is still a child with white hair and youthful face. He is in excellent health and vigorous in spirit. She said, "Good, good, Bao'er doesn't cry, stick out your tongue for me to see, and give Bao'er candy after reading."

But most of the children are little devils, no matter how coaxed by the people around them, they just refuse to obey, grabbed the old doctor's snow-white beard and held it tightly, the old doctor rolled his eyes in pain, but refused to let go.

The child's mother remembered that her face was flushed, and she was also short-tempered. She raised her hand and slapped the child twice.

The pharmacy was silent for a moment, and then, the little thing's howling was even louder, it was so loud that the patients in the whole pharmacy were crying, and several people couldn't bear it and even avoided going out.

Seeing the adults in a room being pissed off by a little doll, Su Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, squeezed away the crowd with his hands in his mouth, squatted down in front of the children, put on a smiling face that resembled the top preschool teachers in the kindergarten, stretched out her slender The white hand waved in front of the little doll's eyes.

Su Tong used to have two of the most difficult younger brothers in the world. She is very good at dealing with children, and she has studied psychology and knows how to use body language to calm people's hearts, even for children who are simple in mind and don't understand anything. , she can gain trust immediately.

The little baby's crying gradually became quieter, although it was still sobbing, but the crying was no longer so piercing.

Su Tong smiled, and gently massaged the little baby's eyebrows and temples with his index finger and thumb a few times, and the little baby's frowning brows slowly relaxed.

His mother let out a sigh of relief, with a look of joy on her face, and she looked at Su Tong with gratitude.

The old doctor sitting in the hall also took a look at Su Tong, thoughtfully, coughed lightly, then leaned over and continued to coax the little doll, asking him to let go of his beautiful beard.

However, this little thing is not so easy to deceive, the old doctor said dry mouth, he just refused to let go, the little hand clenched tightly, whenever the old doctor touched him, he turned around and kissed his mother Drilling into his arms, the old doctor grinned.

The most difficult patient in the world to deal with is probably this kind of ignorant child.

Su Tong blinked and said with a smile, "Come on, Bao'er, look at me."

Her voice was quite seductive, not only the child, but everyone around them acted according to her words without knowing it, and all of them focused their eyes for a moment.

Su Tong spread his hands first, showed it repeatedly in front of the little baby, clenched his fist, and said with a smile: "Look at what this is?" As he spoke, he pulled out a string of long, half-foot-long fists from his empty fist. Red plum blossoms.

Everyone couldn't help exclaiming.

Acrobatics actually flourished in the Song Dynasty, but it was in Kaifeng and other big cities, places like Xixi Town, the way of recreation is still relatively poor, and this kind of close-up magic, which is very simple in modern times, has never been seen in this era. It happened, no wonder people were surprised.

The little doll was also teased and stared wide-eyed.

Su Tong wrapped the plum blossom casually, and wrapped it into a small corolla, put it on the little doll's head, patted her head and smiled, "Bao'er, it's so beautiful."

"nice!"

The doll giggled happily, and followed Su Tong's example to pat her head - the old doctor's beard was also liberated.

Both the old doctor and the child's mother breathed a sigh of relief. The little doll may be in a better mood now, and there is no more fuss, just holding the corolla and playing with it non-stop, allowing the old doctor to complete the diagnosis smoothly.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that the stomach and intestines are a little weak. I will prescribe a diet prescription for the child to take back, and there is no need to take medicine."

The child's mother was very grateful, and the group of boys laughed and booed—"After tossing around for a long time, I still haven't sold the medicine, Cheng Lao, if your old man keeps doing this, I'm afraid our pharmacy will close down."

The female shopkeeper slapped the table with a slap, and said with a stern face: "What are you talking about, my Qingchuntang is not going to cheat the patient with such a small amount of money for medicine, so I do what I have to do."

As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone fell silent, and the female shopkeeper glanced at Su Tong again, and said, "I will look at the accounts at night, and there are still two hours left."

Su Tong laughed: "How can it take two hours? Half an hour is enough."

After finishing speaking, she sat down in front of the counter and took out a pen and paper. The female shopkeeper frowned and stared at her for a while, then shook her head: "I think you are just here to make trouble."

She couldn't help frowning, and felt a little bit worried in her heart, wondering if she would be able to find a suitable accountant in the next two days!
