60s: I have a store

Chapter 450 We are all smart people

Zhou Daqiu came to the village entrance early today, as if he was waiting for someone.

After a while, Chen Baishu walked into Zhoujiazhuang with steady steps, carrying an ancient medicine box on his back.

When Zhou Daqiu saw this, he quickly stepped forward to take the medicine box and said, "Master, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Baishu also naturally let Zhou Daqiu take over the medicine box.

"It's okay, just treat it as exercise."

“Are there many people queuing up at the clinic today?”

He was thinking that if there were not many, he would go find Zhou Yimin first and tell him the good news that the quick-acting heart-saving pill mentioned before had been successfully developed.

Zhou Daqiu told him truthfully: "Master, there are a lot of people queuing up."

Ever since Chen Baishu became famous in Zhoujiazhuang, people queuing up to see him include not only villagers from Zhoujiazhuang, but also people from nearby villages.

So now, more and more people are queuing up to see the doctor.

Chen Baishu nodded. In that case, he could only finish seeing the patient and then tell Zhou Yimin the good news.

As they talked, they walked towards the clinic.

As they were walking, Chen Baishu suddenly stopped and said to Zhou Daqiu, "Daqiu! How are you reading those medical books I left for you? I'll take a good look at them while we're walking to the clinic."

Zhou Daqiu didn't expect the inspection to come so soon, but he could only bite the bullet and said, "Master, don't worry, I study hard every day and take a lot of notes."

As he spoke, he took out a somewhat worn notebook from his pocket, which was filled with densely written words.

Chen Baishu took the book and flipped through it carefully, nodding from time to time and asking some questions. "Tell me, what are the main types of colds in the Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases?"

Zhou Daqiu answered without hesitation: "It is mainly divided into Taiyang disease, Shaoyang disease and Yangming disease. Taiyang disease is further divided into stroke and typhoid fever. Stroke is mainly characterized by floating and slow pulse and sweating, and Guizhi Decoction is used; typhoid fever is characterized by floating and tight pulse and no sweating, and Mahuang Decoction is used..."

Chen Baishu smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad, it seems that you have really put in a lot of effort. Then tell me, for some common gynecological diseases, what treatment ideas have you learned from medical books?"

Zhou Daqiu thought seriously for a moment, then began to speak clearly.

As Chen Baishu listened, he gave some supplements and suggestions. On the way to the clinic, Chen Baishu kept checking whether Zhou Daqiu had memorized the contents of the medical book well.

The villagers passing by looked at them curiously but did not dare to disturb them.

Before reaching the clinic, I saw a long line winding out of the clinic and extending to the big locust tree at the entrance of the village. There were not only villagers from Zhoujiazhuang, but also many people who came from nearby neighboring villages.

A middle-aged man from the neighboring Lijiazhuang had a look of anxiety on his face. His wife was holding her stomach, her face was pale with pain, and beads of sweat the size of beans were rolling down her forehead.

The man supported his wife while looking at the door of the clinic, muttering: "What should I do? My wife has been in pain all night, and I am looking forward to seeing the doctor soon."

I originally thought that if I came earlier, I could see the doctor earlier. However, when I arrived, the clinic was not open yet. In order not to offend the doctor, I had no choice but to queue up.

And he thought he had arrived early enough, but he didn't expect that someone arrived earlier than him.

All I can say is that everyone is smart and wants to come here early, and everyone has the same idea.

The two walked into the clinic and saw a faint smell of medicine in the room.

Various herbs and simple medical instruments were placed on a shabby table.

Zhou Daqiu put down the box, Chen Baishu sat down directly at the table, and then started to see patients.

The first patient was a child with a fever. His face was red and he kept crying.

Chen Baishu first reached out and touched the child's forehead, then opened the child's eyelids and took a look, then said to Zhou Daqiu: "Daqiu, feel the child's pulse and tell me your judgment."

Zhou Daqiu stretched out his hand nervously and carefully took the child's pulse.

After a while, he raised his head and said hesitantly: "Master, I feel that my pulse is a little fast, is it a fever?"

Although this is not my first time, I feel that I am not yet fully skilled, so I still don’t have much confidence when treating patients.

Chen Baishu nodded: "Well, you are right, this child has a fever caused by exogenous wind-heat. However, in addition to the pulse, other symptoms must be combined for comprehensive judgment.

Look at his tongue coating, it is yellow and thick, which means there is food accumulation in the body. When treating, we need to clear away heat and relieve the symptoms, as well as help digestion and relieve stagnation. "

As he spoke, Chen Baishu skillfully wrote down the prescription, and explained to Zhou Daqiu as he wrote: "This honeysuckle can clear away heat, detoxify, and dissipate wind-heat; forsythia has similar effects and can also reduce swelling and resolve nodules; add hawthorn and malt to help digest food accumulation..."

Zhou Daqiu listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and took out a small notebook to write down the key points that Chen Baishu said.

He knew that his memory was not very good and he could not memorize everything he saw. He could only write things down and then read and memorize them repeatedly.

You also need to read it repeatedly and constantly deepen your memory so that you can keep it in your mind.

Chen Baishu was very happy to see Zhou Daqiu working so hard, although he accepted Zhou Daqiu at the beginning because of Zhou Yimin's face.

But I didn't treat them differently. I would still teach them. However, whether Zhou Daqiu could learn it depended on himself.

After looking at this child, the next one is an old man with joint pain.

As soon as the old man sat down, he sighed and groaned: "Doctor! My leg joints have been aching for years. It hurts a lot when it's cloudy or rainy. I've tried everything, but it doesn't get better."

Chen Baishu asked the old man to stick out his tongue, looked at the tongue coating, and carefully pressed the old man's joints, while asking: "Do you feel cold when it hurts?"

The old man nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, I feel a chill in the bones."

Chen Baishu asked at this time: "Daqiu, what do you think?"

Zhou Daqiu looked carefully, but he didn't seem to find any disease matching this symptom in the medical books: "Master, I don't know!"

For things like this, if you don't understand, you don't understand. Don't pretend to know when you clearly don't. Especially when it comes to medical skills, it's very easy to make the wrong diagnosis and lead to loss of life.

Chen Baishu was quite satisfied with Zhou Daqiu's attitude, and then explained: "Daqiu, this is a typical wind-cold-dampness arthritis. Wind, cold and dampness invade the human body, blocking the meridians, and blood circulation is not smooth, so it hurts. When treating, the main focus should be on dispelling wind and cold, removing dampness and unblocking the meridians."

Then, Chen Baishu explained to Zhou Daqiu the principles and precautions of using the medicine. Zhou Daqiu listened with great interest and asked some questions from time to time. Chen Baishu patiently answered them one by one.

In this way, one patient after another, Chen Baishu and Zhou Daqiu cooperated more and more tacitly.

Under Chen Baishu's guidance, Zhou Daqiu gradually became more confident and his medical skills became more and more skilled. Before he knew it, it was already noon. Seeing so many patients in a row was a huge drain on his mental and physical strength.

At this time Zhou Yimin also came over. When Zhou Daqiu saw him, he hurried forward and said, "Uncle Sixteen, do you have any way to solve this situation? Then he told him the whole story."

Zhou Yimin thought about it and immediately came up with a solution, which was just like going to some popular restaurants to eat in the future, taking a number and queuing up.

Then he said, "Comrades, I have something to tell you. There are too many people coming to see the doctor today. I'm sure Elder Chen and Da Qiu can't handle it all.

I have an idea. Let's line up and get a number like we do in busy restaurants in the city. Let's go eat first, and when we come back after dinner, we still line up according to the number to see the doctor. "

When the villagers heard this, they were hesitant at first and looked at each other.

After all, this method has never been heard of before. There are quite a few people here who have been queuing for a whole morning. If they wait for a while, go back to eat something, and then come back here to queue again, they definitely won’t agree to it.

The middle-aged man who was supporting his wife said anxiously, "Is this possible? Don't let the numbers get mixed up and we have to queue up again."

Zhou Yimin quickly explained: "Don't worry, we will register the numbers properly and there will be no confusion. And this way you don't have to wait here with an empty stomach, which would delay things."

An old man also said: "Don't let us just stop watching after you finish watching a batch. What will we do then?"

Zhou Yimin said patiently, "Uncle, don't worry, as long as everyone comes back with a number, we will definitely see all the patients. Otherwise, we will be sorry for everyone's trust in us."

Everyone listened to Zhou Yimin's sincere words and had no better solution, so they had no choice but to agree.

Zhou Daqiu hurried back to the clinic to get paper and pen, and began to issue numbers to everyone for registration.

The villagers got their numbers one after another, and with some confusion and anticipation, they slowly dispersed to eat.

They also knew that there were only Chen Baishu and Zhou Daqiu in the entire clinic, and they couldn't stop others from eating. After all, there were so many people queuing up, and it would probably be sunset by the time they were done seeing the patients!

Zhou Yimin then walked up to Chen Baishu and said with a smile, "Uncle, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I really have no other choice but to come up with this solution."

Chen Baishu smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, your idea is good, it not only takes care of everyone's meals, but also allows us to see the doctor in an orderly manner."

"I have to say, you young people are really quick-witted. You came up with such a good idea in no time!"

The two were chatting, and Zhou Daqiu just followed behind.

Chen Baishu patted his head at this time: "I almost forgot something important. Yimin, the quick-acting heart-saving pill you mentioned has been successfully developed."

After hearing this, Zhou Yimin immediately became excited: "Uncle, did I hear it right?"

Chen Baishu smiled and shook his head: "You heard it right, it was successfully developed some time ago, but I've been a little busy recently, so I forgot to come and inform you."

As he spoke, Chen Baishu took out a bottle of quick-acting heart-saving pills from his medicine box and handed it to Zhou Yimin.

Zhou Yimin took the medicine bottle with trembling hands. He couldn't wait to open the bottle, pour out a pill and put it in his palm.

I saw that the pill was brown in color, uniform in color, and had a faint luster on the surface.

He gently put it under his nose and sniffed it. The familiar medicinal aroma instantly lingered at the tip of his nose, exactly the same as the smell of the quick-acting heart-saving pills in later generations that he remembered.

He gently rubbed the pill with his fingers, feeling its texture, round and firm.

Then he invited: "Uncle, come to my house for dinner!"

Chen Baishu was really hungry, so he did not refuse and followed Zhou Yimin to his house.

The three of them came to Zhou Yimin's house. As soon as they entered the house, Chen Baishu and Zhou Daqiu were surprised by the food on the table.

There were two meat dishes on the table. One was the fragrant braised pork, which was bright red in color, with fat and lean pieces of meat, and each piece exuded an attractive luster.

The other dish is stir-fried shredded pork served with tender green peppers. The bright colors make people's appetite increase at the sight of it.

In addition to meat dishes, there are also several plates of fresh vegetables, with the perfect combination of meat and vegetables.

What shocked Chen Baishu even more was that the water cups placed in front of each person were filled with honey water.

In this period of material scarcity, meat was already a rare commodity, honey was even rarer, and milk powder was also seen on the table.

You have to know that even ordinary leadership families may not have milk powder.

Chen Baishu's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He opened his mouth and said after a long while: "Yimin, this... this is too rich, we can't waste it like this."

Zhou Yimin said: "Compared to the help you gave me, this is nothing."

And this is the normal meal at home. During festivals, the food will be even richer.

It can be said that Zhou Daqiu relied entirely on Chen Baishu to have a meal at Zhou Yimin's home. He also wanted to know how good the food in Zhou Yimin's home was as rumored.

This made many people in the village very curious, but due to Zhou Yimin's authority in Zhoujiazhuang, no one dared to ask.

Since there would be more patients coming to see the doctor later, Chen Baishu and Zhou Daqiu ate faster.

I always think about finishing my meal quickly and seeing my patients as soon as possible.

It was supposed to take more than half an hour to finish the meal, but they managed to finish more than half of it. In about fifteen minutes, Chen Baishu and Zhou Daqiu had finished eating.

After saying something to Zhou Yimin, he came to the clinic.

When the two of them arrived at the clinic, they found that the line had formed again.

Zhou Daqiu said at this time: "Everyone, line up according to the number you just got. If you are found to be cutting in line or impersonating someone else, you will have to line up again."

There were quite a few people there just now who had some small thoughts, but after hearing Zhou Daqiu's words, they immediately disappeared.

But there are always some self-righteous people who just want to take advantage of the situation and think that no one will know.

Just like this, a middle-aged bald man, with a forged number, was standing in a position that did not belong to him.

At this moment, the middle-aged man who was supporting his wife came back to Zhoujiazhuang for the party after dinner. He took out his number plates and counted them one by one to see where he should line up.

Soon he counted to the middle-aged bald man, and it happened to be his number, so he stepped forward and said, "Comrade, I'm sorry, this seat is ours."
