Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 9
It was winter at this time, although it was not the coldest time, the number of pedestrians on the street was decreasing day by day, but the Qingchun Hall was bustling and bustling, even more noisy than midsummer.

There were at least [-] to [-] patients in the lobby who came to see the doctor to get medicine, and seven or eight young men were busy getting medicine. Although this was a pharmacy and the patients were dull, it was still a bit noisy due to the large number of people.

Su Tong stood at the door, carefully looking at the notice posted on the wall outside the door, which was more than half torn by the wind.

The notice was very old, and it was posted for at least seven or eight days due to the wind and rain. She didn't find it strange that three hundred Wen a day was probably not a very low salary in the Song Dynasty. Could it be that no one applied for the job?Or did they recruit early, but forgot to take down the notice.

Su Tong thought for a while, then tidied up his clothes and walked in slowly. Anyway, he just went in to ask. If they don't want people, they can just find other jobs. It won't take much effort.

As soon as she came in, she found that the business of this pharmacy was very good, and the person sitting in the hall was an old doctor, who still behaved calmly in such a chaotic environment, quite like a famous doctor.

The shopkeeper was a young man dressed in men's clothing, but Su Tong could tell at a glance that this person was a woman.It's not that she doesn't look like her. In fact, both men and women in the Song Dynasty were painted with makeup. In addition, this woman is young, her chest is very flat, and she doesn't know how to get it in her throat. She actually has an Adam's apple. Most people don't Possibly tell her gender, at least at first glance.

But Su Tong is different. She is proficient in the art of disguise and makeup. This is a basic skill in their family. No matter which child has to learn, and she has a doctorate in forensic medicine, she has a good understanding of the human body. It is a skeleton. You can tell men and women at a glance, let alone a living person?
The shopkeeper is a woman, and Su Tong let out a sigh, thinking that he should be more likely to succeed in applying for a job here than elsewhere, at least don't worry too much about the shopkeeper's prejudice against her female status.

Once again, he adjusted his expression to make himself look more mature and stable. Su Tong walked up to the woman, and saw that she was half lying on the counter, wandering away, so he knocked on the counter. The woman looked up, as if she was still awake, with sleepy eyes Hazy, with flushed cheeks, quite cute.

"Excuse me, is there still a billing room here?"

The female shopkeeper was taken aback, looked Su Tong up and down, coughed, frowned and said, "Of course we are recruited, but we at Qingchun Hall want to find an experienced accountant. Miss, did you work as an accountant before?"

Su Tong smiled and said very gently: "Although I have never worked as an accountant, my mother taught Nunu arithmetic when she was alive, and Nunu knows a little bit of medical skills and knows about medicinal materials. I must be an accountant in your store , will be more competent than the average accountant.”

After she finished speaking, she saw that the female shopkeeper had a slight distrust in her eyebrows, and she couldn't help but said seriously: "Nunu is not lying, if the shopkeeper doesn't believe it, you can take the school exam."

Although she is not an accounting major, when she followed Lin Mu, all the accounts in the laboratory went through her hands. As a person who satisfied Lin Mu, she did not hesitate to use her beauty tricks (although that guy's beauty tricks are available to women with normal eyes). It is unlikely to be recruited) and the all-round assistant who should stay with her, let alone the accounts of a pharmacy, even if she is asked to calculate the accounts of the national treasury, there will still be no major problems.

The female shopkeeper raised her eyebrows, as if she was quite surprised by Su Tong's self-confidence. She looked around and said suddenly: "Well, let's try it for a day first, and you will be in charge of the accounts of our Qingchun Hall today. If you are competent, I will Accept you."

Su Tong nodded immediately.

Suddenly a patient who was waiting beside him laughed loudly: "Brother Yi is bullying people again, with your harshness, how can a little lady bear it."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was laughter all around, and the other patient shook his head, and said to Su Tong kindly: "I know why Brother Yi can't recruit Mr. Accountant? Because this guy always likes to find fault with others, not because he hates others The words are not good-looking. Even if you think other people's accounts are not fast, the accountant of other people's family can settle the accounts once a month. A hundred coins, even if you go out to do the work, it's much better than being tortured by him."

The first patient also continued, "Those good accountants that can meet his requirements are all the targets of solicitation by major commercial firms. Three hundred cash a day is not even enough to feed them. Who would come to him?"

Su Tong was confused when he heard this. According to these people, a salary as high as three hundred Wen a day is nothing to the accountant!
In fact, how did she understand that there are very few people who are proficient in arithmetic nowadays, and the really good accountants have been doing it for decades. If you go out here to do a day's work, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, you can earn about [-] yuan In the Great Song Dynasty, Sanbaiwen wanted to hire a good accountant, it was purely a joke!

The shopkeeper known as Brother Xiaoyi turned cold and gritted his teeth: "I don't believe it is only three hundred Wen, I, Zhang Xiaoyi, can't find a good accountant!"

The little guy who was in charge of bookkeeping immediately frowned, and muttered: "Brother Yi, why are you bothering with Da Lang? They are all brothers and sisters of our own family. If you make trouble like this, our Qingchun Hall is not the one who is unlucky."

Su Tong listened to what these people said. Although he didn't know the whole story, it was probably because the shopkeeper in front of him had a quarrel with his elder brother because of the previous accountant. His elder brother said a word unless she I can hire someone who is better than the last accountant for three hundred cash a day, otherwise I have to respectfully invite that accountant back again, and ask Brother Yi to serve tea to make amends and so on.

Little Brother Yi got angry and agreed without thinking too much. Now there are still three days before the time limit of one month. If he can't find an accounting office that meets the requirements within three days, Little Brother Yi can only compromise.

Su Tong couldn't laugh or cry at once. After a long time of trouble, it was the siblings who were at odds. However, it was cheaper for her. She didn't think the treatment of [-] Wen a day was bad. Anyway, she didn't want to work for too long, as long as she earned the first With a lot of money, she will naturally find more ways to make money.

"Shopkeeper, I promise you to give it a try. If you are not satisfied with me after today, I will leave immediately and I don't need today's salary. If you are satisfied, you can hire me to work here for a month. What do you think? "

The female shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Okay, young lady is really courageous. With your courage, I will accept you even if your ability is a little bit worse."

The people around said a few words, but they didn't take it seriously. No one thought that she, a little girl of only fifteen or sixteen years old, could really compare to those experienced accountants.
