The village chief's eyes lighted up slightly, but he was still cautious, but he couldn't help but glanced at Mr. Song. Seeing that he was eating with his head down, he swallowed without expressing any objection, "Is it true?"
Man Bao nodded, "Of course it is true."
She glanced at the other person's face, and said: "I see that you have a lot of problems. After eating, you go to take a bath and take a bath. I will check it for you?"
The village chief went to take a bath in a daze, and when he came out, he was a little trembling when he was watched by the county magistrate and his wife to take off his clothes.
Zhou Man reached out and patted his back, and said with a soft smile, "Don't be nervous, relax, we won't eat you again."
Zhou Man felt his pulse, pressed his body again, asked him a few questions, and gave him a set of needles. She said: "Your body is very cold, and moxibustion is good, but it shouldn't be too hot. Later, I can soak medicine in stones and give you moxibustion, and when you feel better, you can try moxibustion."
Man Bao stuck the needle in him, and the village head slowly relaxed, lying on the bed and falling asleep. Bai Shan stood aside and watched, and suddenly asked softly: "How many people in Xiaowa Village know how to cook salt?"
"Not many, just..." the village chief didn't finish his sentence, but his expression changed drastically after he realized it.
Bai Shan looked down at him and said, "Why are you nervous? This county doesn't know whether Charle and others cook salt privately. But what the county is curious about is, who sent you to learn salt cooking? This skill should not be anyone Will it work?"
The village chief was drenched in cold sweat, but he didn't dare to move because of the many needles stuck in his back.
The needle that could have made him relax instantly turned into a thorn, he swallowed, lowered his head under Bai Shan's gaze, and said: "It was Lu County Magistrate who sent us there, saying that we should learn how to cook salt. , we will also be able to work in the saltworks in the future.”
Bai Shan: "A new saltworks?"
The village chief lowered his head and responded with a "hmm". Bai Shan nodded and asked, "So there are people in the village who know how to cook salt. If a new salt factory opens, will you be able to do it right away?"
The village head cheered up, and immediately said: "Yes, yes, many young people in our village have worked in the salt field for a long time, and they have already learned how to cook salt."
As if he was afraid that Bai Shan would let it go, he immediately said: "My lord, we still know where we can cut down large logs. There is a mountain about eight miles away from our village. At that time, the wind was against the wind, and the trees on that mountain were not affected. , you can go over there and chop firewood and come back to cook salt."
Seeing that he is so active, Bai Shan is very satisfied. Sure enough, in order to make money and live a good life, one must work harder in life and work.
Bai Shandao: "I will make a thorough plan, you first give me the list of people who cook the salt, and also, if you say this word out of my mouth, it will be in your ear, don't tell it to a third person, not even your wife and children. "
The village chief couldn't help looking at Zhou Man who was standing aside. Bai Shan said: "She is not the third person."
village head:…
Bai Shan was very satisfied with the harvest of tonight's conversation, nodded with Zhou Man and left.
Seeing him leave, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief. Man Bao didn't leave. After looking at the needles on his body, he changed a set of needles for him. The village chief's nervousness was not relieved much. Man Bao could only pull out all the needles for him, and comforted him: : "Don't be afraid, Baixian is very nice."
Village Chief: ... He is your husband, so of course you said so.
After returning to the room, Man Bao complained to Bai Shan, "Why are you scaring my patient?"
Bai Shan hurriedly squeezed her shoulders and thumped her back, "I really didn't plan it out. It was just a twitch in my heart at the time, and I felt a little weird. He was sleepy and too relaxed at the time, so I couldn't help but ask."
Man Bao tilted his head, "Weird? Where is it weird?"
"Don't you think their salt is a bit bitter? It's different from official salt."
Man Bao stared, "Since when did you eat salt from their salt shaker?"
Bai Shan: "...I didn't eat salt in the salt shaker, didn't salt be added to the chicken soup and dishes tonight?" He said: "Even if we are entertaining distinguished guests, common people will be very restrained in adding salt to their dishes. And tonight their chicken soup is a bit salty."
"Maybe it's because it's near the sea, the locals have a strong taste?"
Bai Shan shook his head, "You forgot, I was walking around the village by the sea for a few days ago, and there was a salt field over there, and the salt was not as bold as theirs, and their salt was slightly different from official salt. "
Man Bao relished it for a while, and found no difference. It was salty, but it was the same as when they accidentally put too much salt in the cooking. She said confidently: "I think you feel wrong, That dish is the same as when my second sister-in-law accidentally put too much salt in cooking."
Bai Shan: "You can't compare your second sister-in-law's cooking skills with other people's cooking skills. Even if you add more salt, it won't be so much."
He said confidently: "And the facts prove that there are people in the village who can boil salt?"
Man Bao was choked and stopped talking immediately.
When he woke up the next morning, Bai Shan dragged Zhou Man around to the village chief and asked him, "Do you cook the salt at home, or do you cook it together?"
Successfully seeing the change in the other person's face, he stammered, Bai Shancai did not continue to scare him, but said: "Let's go, we will accompany you to the village for a visit today, and let the sick people come to see a doctor today, and we will go to other places. Take a turn around."
Bai Shan and Zhou Man walked around the village, and when they came back, they were followed by many dubious women and some children who joined in the fun.
Zhou Man asked Xibing and Jiuyue to take out her medicine box, and began to treat them in the yard. Bai Shan only took one look and left with the village chief and Dong County Weisong chief secretary and others.
The people in the village who were able to stand in front of Zhou Man to see a doctor were mostly minor ailments, such as stomachache, headache, cough, and some fever, which seemed to be very common ailments.
If Man Bao can give them an injection, he will give them an injection, and for some serious cases, he will give them medicinal materials.
but…
Man Bao picked up a woman's hand, looked at it himself, and asked, "Do you have these corroded marks on your legs?"
"Yes," the woman also simply rolled up her trouser legs to show Zhou Man, not caring at all about the people around her.
Many people have this thing, so there is nothing to avoid.
Zhou Man looked carefully, pressed the button and asked, "Is it itchy?"
She said: "Sometimes it itches, sometimes it doesn't itch, and most of the time it doesn't itch."
Zhou Man nodded, gently scraped off a layer of skin flakes with his fingernails, wrapped the things in paper, washed his hands after putting them away, and then came back and said to her: "Your stomach hurts because of the cold, I'll give you a set of acupuncture, and then I'll give you two medicines, and you'll be fine to Fuyang and Tonifying Yang, but you need to avoid contact with cold water, especially before and after menstruation, and you must not go into the sea to touch cold water."
The woman smiled indifferently and said, "Ma'am, we always have to eat, what will we eat if we don't go to sea?"
It is too particular about not touching cold water.
