Zhou Liru looked at the time and reminded Manbao that it was already past noon. Manbao looked at the next patient and saw that it was a trembling old man, so he said to Zhou Liru, "After reading the next one, rest."
Zhou Liru responded, sat on the side and waved back, and the old man stepped forward.
Zhou Liru asked his name, which village or village he was from, and when he found the person in the booklet, Zhou Liru wrote down his name and household registration, and then began to feel his pulse and ask about his recent physical condition.
After she finished asking, Man Bao also read the patient in hand, and wrote a prescription for the other party, and said to her: "There are no sequelae, but you are pregnant, this is an anti-fetal drug, you are a little weak, go back and drink it." Take the medicine for the first ten days, then eat more meat and eggs, and don't eat less vegetables."
The patient was surprised and delighted, "I, am I pregnant?"
Man Bao nodded: "It should be seventy-two days. It's not necessarily accurate. It's calculated based on your last menstrual event."
The patient's tears rolled down, "That's never allowed, and there are times when it comes only once every three or four months."
Man Bao knows that some people have insufficient blood in their bodies, so they will be like this, but as long as it is regular, it is not a very serious disease, but it is harmful to the body after all.
Guaranteeing a nutritious diet is not something everyone can do, let alone taking medicine.
The more patients he has seen, the more Man Bao knows this.
After thinking about it, she simply pulled out a piece of paper and wrote several dietary prescriptions for her in one breath, saying: "This is a diet for nourishing fetus and nourishing qi and blood. You can take it back, whether it is prenatal or postpartum. All can be eaten."
The patient held the paper and couldn't recognize the words on it.
Man Bao said: "The main thing is to use eggs. You can raise a few more chickens at home to lay eggs. Don't underestimate eggs, their nutrition is not much less than meat."
She told her how to make these dishes.
Man Bao doesn't know how to cook, but she has a lot of recipes, including medicinal recipes.
She just can't make it out, but patients can, most women can, they can remember it after listening to it once.
Sure enough, as soon as Man Bao finished speaking, she remembered it, but she didn't recognize the yams she said, so she folded up the prescription and put it in her arms, and decided to take it back to the village for recognition. The person who writes it will take a look again, and then go to the pharmacy to buy some.
Physician Zhou said that this thing is not expensive, and the medicine can be eaten as a dish.
Man Bao waited for her to leave and began to check the old man's body. After a while, he confirmed that he did not have any bad sequelae of smallpox treatment.
However, it is normal for the old man to have problems. Man Bao pressed his back and waist several times, and the old man yelled twice, and then he got up and felt much better.
Man Bao said: "You are fine, go back and have a good rest."
The old man squinted his eyes and laughed, turned around and looked aside, a young boy immediately ran up with a basket.
The old man put the basket on the table full of treasures, and said with a smile: "Physician Zhou, this is an egg given to you by the little old man, please accept it with care."
Man Bao received a lot of gifts in the morning, so he declined as usual: "Old man, I don't lack food now, you can take it back, just to replenish your body."
But the old man had already held his grandson's hand and turned around to leave. He said: "It's your business if you don't need it, it's my business if I give it away, you just take it."
After all, he walked away briskly, without any sign of the trembling look just now.
Man Bao opened her mouth wide, did she miss it
As soon as the old man left, a yamen servant came forward to inform that the diagnosis this morning will come here first, everyone can go to have lunch first, and come back after the end of the day...
So many people in the team ran up quickly with their things, forcefully stuffed things into the hands of Man Bao and Zhou Liru, or put them on the edge of the table and ran away.
Zhou Liru repeatedly declined, "We really don't need it..."
But everyone didn't listen to them at all, they put down their things and left, and some even left without queuing up.
Man Bao sighed, "Forget it, just accept it."
Zhou Liru could only call the servants to come up to help, and most of the things they sent were eggs, vegetables and rice noodles, not many, either a basket or a small cloth bag.
Most of the cloth bags weigh only three or four catties, but both the rice and the noodles are white and white, obviously they are high-quality goods.
This thing is usually taken out and eaten in ordinary people's homes.
Everyone didn't give much, but there were so many people who couldn't bear to give. The table was full of things, and the sides around the table were also full.
Zhou Liru asked while receiving it, "Sister-in-law, what should we do with these things? Shall we take them away?"
Man Bao said: "Let's send them all back to the governor's mansion. We can choose some and take them with us, and leave the others to the sister-in-law to handle."
She said: "Yesterday, I seem to have heard someone say that my sister-in-law had someone clean up the shantang in Xiazhou City and adopted many orphans after the disaster. All these things can be sent to the shantang."
Choi thought so too.
Seeing that Man Bao brought back so many things, she thought for a while and thought of this place, she said: "After the smallpox, many children's parents and relatives died, and they also had to eat a hundred kinds of food to grow up in the Hui nationality. For some children, the whole village has suffered, and when they return to the village, the older children will raise the younger ones, and I am afraid that they will become beggars in a short time, so I have people tidy up the shantang and raise them all in it."
Man Bao asked: "How does the sister-in-law plan to arrange them?"
Cui said with a smile: "I decided to link up with the wealthy households in the city. When the time comes, people will donate more things. In addition, the yamen will ask for subsidies. They should be able to support them for a few years. When they reach the age of fourteen, they can return to their original lands to farm. gone."
"It will take several years. What are they doing in the shantang these few years?" Bai Shan, who had just walked around the shantang, came back and said, "I went to see the children inside. Some are only about two years old, and some are twelve or thirteen years old, that is to say, they will stay in the shantang for about two to twelve years.”
"Two years may sound like a short time, but in fact, for people with nothing to do, every day is very long. If the sister-in-law can't arrange them properly, I'm afraid they will end up becoming beggars or bastards if they stay in the city."
Cui was surprised for a moment, and then said: "Sometimes Shantang will take over some work of unpacking, washing and rubbing for them, and it is usually not very free."
Bai Shan shook his head, "I saw it today. How could a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy sit in the shantang every day to unpack, wash and rub hemp? And this kind of work is easy to see. It's just useless and doesn't make much money. To them There is no benefit in the future."
Cui paused for a moment, then asked him, "Then what suggestion do you have?"
Bai Shan smiled and said: "Since the sister-in-law is interested, why not invite them some gentlemen to teach them something so that they have the means to make a living, and leaving Shantang in the future will not add to the burden on Xiazhou City."
