But she is not afraid anymore, since her husband's family knew that it was Shi Dalang's problem, her life has become much easier.
The clothes at home will not be piled up for her to wash. After knowing that she had better not touch the cold water, the mother-in-law took over the job of washing the clothes.
This time, the husband and wife took the medicine together. Every time the family brewed medicine, the smell of the medicine would not be talked about all the time, and there would be no beating and stinging in the courtyard anymore.
So Liu Niang lived quite comfortably, so she still had no children, but her head was raised up, not like it was always lowered before.
Asking about Man Bao's condition now is not as urgent as the first time, but he just asked a little curiously: "Little Doctor Zhou, can my husband's illness really be cured?"
Man Bao said: "It's probably possible."
"Then if he is cured, can I conceive a child?"
Man Bao thought about it seriously and said: "Theoretically, it is possible, but my mother said that the child is a gift from the heavens, why not wait for him to heal, and you can't conceive it yet, so go worship the god of heaven?"
"Tian Zun?" Liu Niang thought for a while and said, "Doctor Zhou believes in the Supreme Lord, then I will go back and pay respects."
After speaking, Man Bao motioned her to go out and called the next patient to come in.
Her patients have been constant, and I don't know if it is the reason why her reputation is getting wider and wider now. Apart from female patients, most of her patients are trauma patients.
In the past few days, Man Bao has always received patients who need sutures, and her sutures have improved by leaps and bounds. Her sutures were good before, and now they are even better.
Dr. Ding and the others couldn't resist learning from her. Recently, there are often pig's trotters in the pharmacy. The softly stewed pig's trotters are delicious, not to mention.
The patients who came to the pharmacy to see Man Bao were also familiar with her rules, knowing that she only worked half-day and left in the afternoon.
So if you insist on her seeing a doctor, you should either come early, or turn around and leave when you see so many people, and come early the next day.
She doesn't necessarily have to look at it, and if she can't be ranked, go to other doctors.
At noon, Man Bao went out for a walk and saw that there were no unusual patients, but there were only two patients on her side, so he simply looked at them all and prescribed medicines before going to the backyard for lunch .
They still had stewed pig's trotters for lunch today. After all, it was Ji Shitang's cook, and some medicinal materials were put in the pig's trotters.
Man Bao picked up two pig's trotters, checked them curiously and asked, "Who used these pig's trotters to practice?"
Shopkeeper Zheng Da smiled and said: "Doctor Ding, by the way, this is Xiao Shao, who is a few years older than you, let him be a medicine boy by your side from now on."
Man Bao turned his head to look at Xiao Shao, saw that he was about the same age as Senior Brother Bai, and he didn't look like Yaotong at all, so he asked curiously, "Which Shao is it?"
Xiao Shao was stunned for a moment and then said: "Bai Shao's Shao."
"Hey, is your surname Bai?"
"... No, my surname is Zheng, Zheng Shao."
It sounded like a girl's name, but she looked at the person seriously, and it was indeed a man, and he was not as good-looking as shopkeeper Xiao Zheng.
Man Bao nodded and asked, "Have you eaten yet? We're going out for consultation in a while."
Zheng Shao bent down and replied: "I have eaten, Doctor Zhou will eat first, and I will go to get the car."
Man Bao nodded.
Seeing that Zheng Shao went out, shopkeeper Zheng Da smiled at Man Bao: "He is older, more stable, and average in appearance, so it will be more convenient to bring him into the inner house, and you can let him do any chores in the future." Do it, even in the pharmacy, let him help you."
Man Bao always felt that these words were very familiar. After thinking about it, she asked, "Then is he my apprentice?"
Shopkeeper Zheng Da smiled and said, "It's his luck that Doctor Zhou is willing to accept him as an apprentice."
Man Bao understood, but she felt a little uneasy, "I have only sat in court for a short time, can I accept apprentices?"
Shopkeeper Zheng Da smiled and said: "As doctors, we also look at qualifications, but we also look at medical skills. Dr. Zhou is now a little genius doctor, and his medical skills are recognized in the capital and Yizhou. He is just an apprentice. If not You are young and your status is inconvenient, it is also possible for the palace to directly recruit you to the Imperial Hospital."
Man Bao was taken aback, "Don't talk about you, I'm afraid to hear that."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da said happily: "Little Doctor Zhou is joking again."
She wasn't joking, she sounded scary.
After lunch, Man Bao was about to pack up the basket and go to the doctor. Shopkeeper Zheng Da followed behind. Seeing her tidying up the already old bamboo basket, he immediately coughed lightly. Xiao Ding brought a brand new medicine box .
Shopkeeper Zheng Da smiled at Man Bao and said, "Little Doctor Zhou, what do you think of this medicine box?"
Man Bao looked over, nodded and said, "It's pretty."
"It looks good, this is for you." The shopkeeper Zheng Da introduced to her, "Look, there are two layers here, and there are many grids. In addition to the pulse pillow and the needle bag, you can also put it. Few herbs."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da introduced to her, "There are some commonly used life-saving herbs on the next floor. Do you know what herbs to bring?"
Man Bao nodded and said: "I know, Doctor Ji taught me that the shape of this medicine box is exactly the same as his."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da laughed, "All good doctors in the world have medicine boxes like this, but yours is better, lighter and more spacious."
Man Bao touched the medicine box and asked curiously, "Did you really give it to me?"
Shopkeeper Zheng Da smiled and nodded, "Of course, Xiao Shao will carry this medicine box for you from now on."
"No, I have to carry it myself."
Man Bao is also quite reluctant to part with her small pannier, after all, her pannier has been with her for many years, and she changed it twice in the middle, but each time it was tailor-made for her by the second brother.
Man Bao put the things in the back basket into the medicine box one by one, and there were still many empty spaces. The shopkeeper Zheng Da knew what was missing with just a glance, so he smiled at her, turned and went to the counter, and put those The missing medicinal materials were made up for her.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da put the bags of medicine into the medicine box, and said to Man Bao: "This medicine is not only the patient's life, but also the doctor's. Sometimes it is a blind medicine, and it can save a life if used in time. , so the doctor's medicine box must be full at all times, and it must be replenished when it is missing, and it must be replaced frequently to prevent the medicinal materials from getting wet."
Dr. Ji had told her about all these things, but since she was just in office, she seldom had the opportunity to make outpatient visits, and she was always carrying a pannier, putting all messy things in it, so she never paid much attention to it.
Looking at the full medicine box, Man Bao put the law book she was carrying into the back basket, then closed the medicine box, carried the back basket on his back, and walked away contentedly holding the medicine box.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da hurriedly said, "Let Xiao Shao take it for you."
Man Bao hugged the medicine box tightly, shook his head and said, "No, I'll take it myself."
