166. Treatment
Xu Xiaole took the boat in the morning and asked Luo Yun to help him bring the ink spirit back when he returned to Suzhou. Luo Yun sent the ink spirit as promised. Seeing that there were so many people around, he naturally had to sit down and ask clearly.
So Luo Yun pushed away the crowd, sat opposite Xu Xiaole, and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Li Xiqiang felt that he could not explain with a fool, so he continued his previous topic: "Xiaole, how did the famous doctor become famous? It is the reputation of the patient. If you cure a hundred ordinary people, and even the family, you can have 500 people saying hello, right? If you cure a prefect, then all the people in the area know that you are skilled in your medical skills and at least the people in the county town know. If you can be like Dai Yuanli and get praised by the Holy Emperor, you will be famous in history! Tell me, is the doctor's status determined by the patient's identity?"
Li Xiqiang's statement was reasonable and incitement. People around him admired him very much. After all, they were old doctors who saw it thoroughly. Xu Xiaole was really successful this time.
Luo Yun said curiously: "Xiaole, who asked you to see a doctor?"
Xu Xiaole said, "Today I will treat chest abdomen for a friend's parents. This is not a big deal. You are so serious that I don't understand." He disagreed with what Li Xiqiang said, but he had no appropriate words to refute him, so he had to pull the topic away.
However, Xu Xiaole didn't know that he jumped into another pit that had been waiting for him for a long time.
Gu Xuan quickly smiled and said, "Xiaole, it's really worth it. I have already reported the matter of your consultation for the Zhao family. The boss thought that he would first have to correct your name: From now on, you will be a real doctor!"
Although all the patients outside called Xu Xiaole "Doctor Xiao Xu", Xu Xiaole did not really sit in the hall. Gu Xuan now announced the news in public, which is equivalent to formally hiring Xu Xiaole as the doctor in Changchun Hall, and his status cannot be regarded as a friend.
Gu Xuan smiled and said, "From September, Dr. Xu, you will have five taels of gold every month. In addition, when will it be convenient, let's go outside and rent a house."
The money in Changchun Hall is five taels of silver for each doctor, but not everyone has it.
Gu Xuan asked to lend Li Xiqiang's house. On the one hand, because Li Xiqiang came to save the house, he couldn't get a job without him, so he would lose this fat man. On the other hand, Li Xiqiang was very capable of fooling him and pretending to be like a god, making Gu Xuan willingly devote himself to offering sacrifices.
When he arrived at Yang Chengde's side, Gu Xuan not only wouldn't find a place for him to live in, but he was even too lazy to arrange a dormitory.
The place where Yang Chengde lives now was arranged by Gu Zhonglun, the head of the Gu family's second house, and it obviously means comparing with the eldest house.
Now that Xu Xiaole has become a doctor, he naturally has to be on par with Li Xiqiang to avoid silence to the little genius doctor's heart.
Although Gu Xuan spent all day, he was not a fool. Otherwise, how could he hold his thighs and get this fat man? He had long discovered that Xu Xiaole was not gentle and well-behaved to Li Xiqiang, and always had a respect for him. He was not even as respectful to Lu Pharmacist as a Pharmacist as soon as possible, but Xu Xiaole gave Lu Pharmacist a snack, but did not take a piece for Li Xiqiang. Many stories could be seen.
Xu Xiaole said: "It's great for me to live in the clinic, so it's convenient for me to sit in the hall."
Gu Xuan said, "I will discuss the matter about the house. The boss has another second thing, which is that I want to invite you to your house tomorrow."
Xu Xiaole said oh and asked, "Is anyone at home sick?"
Gu Xuan smiled and said, "We will talk about this slowly when we celebrate your achievements in the evening. At the moment, I would like to ask you to choose one from our clinic staff and be your apprentice."
"I can't accept disciples yet, right?" Xu Xiaole looked at Li Xiqiang.
Although he realized that his medical skills had already been in the beginning, he had no confidence in taking his disciples by referring to his uncle. In his opinion, at least he could only accept disciples and pass on his skills by his uncle. Otherwise, wouldn’t he become a mediocre teacher like Li Xiqiang? It would be a joke.
Li Xiqiang said: "It's just an apprentice, not an apprentice. You can choose two that are useful and you can help you on weekdays. You can wash clothes and cook during the day, make beds and fold quilts, pour a chamber pot at night, and guard the house. If you think your character is good and your qualifications are good, you can also teach some skills. If your apprentice is good and willing to learn and work hard, you will consider the matter of getting into the door and wall."
Xu Xiaole looked around the crowd of friends, including Chen Mingyuan, all of whom showed hope and their eyes shone.
The light condensed into two big words in the air: Choose me!
Li Xiqiang said: "I have only passed on you as an apprentice, but I have never chosen an apprentice. I was thinking that since I didn't plan to teach others, why bother to delay them? Now that you are in the church, you can choose it yourself."
Xu Xiaole thought to himself: How can you choose an apprentice? You are clearly a slave.
In fact, in the eyes of many people, apprentices are not as good as slaves.
Many craftsmen have a complex emotion for apprentices: they need a descendant to inherit their craftsmanship and support themselves when they cannot work. On the one hand, they are worried that they will teach their apprentices to starve their master to death, and then they will set up their own business after their wings are hard. Therefore, many craftsmen must drag their master's skills until they die and lie on the hospital bed before they are willing to pass on them to their apprentices, which inadvertently causes many unique skills to be lost.
Relatively speaking, doctors are already the most alternative and less afraid of independent disciples among craftsmen. Even so, it is still the mainstream view that the Tao does not pass on the arts and does not teach lightly.
Xu Xiaole said to Li Xiqiang: "Master, please choose an apprentice by yourself. I am young and strong, so I don't need anyone to help you at any time."
The apprentices looked like eggplants made from frosted, so they wilted.
Chen Mingyuan said earnestly: "Doctor Xiao Xu, please choose two. Although we can't help, we can carry the medicine box for you when we go to the clinic and feed you mules and horses. We can always do some rough work."
When Xu Xiaole heard what he said, he refused to ask for an apprentice. He neither wanted to be humble to others nor did he want others to treat him like this. It was Confucius who said, "Do not do to others what he does not want others to do to others."
Li Xiqiang laughed and said, "Xiaole, in this way, you can choose four people out and be considered my apprentice. If you have something to do, of course you can ask them for help. When you have nothing to do on weekdays, I will train them."
Although Changchun Hall was built out of the idea of doing good deeds, since it was opened, it had to strive for the goal of a century-old store. No one would open a store just to make a fortune in just a few years, which would only ruin the family reputation.
Since the store will be open for a long time, generations of people have to keep up. Why is it difficult to find a doctor in the new clinic? It is precisely because other doctors are screening layers and are loyal to the clinic. Who is willing to change the owner easily? Gu Xuan asked Xu Xiaole to accept an apprentice and was also anxious to sow the seeds of the next generation.
Originally, Xu Xiaole was the "next generation", but now he has been promoted to another generation, and the next generation of Changchuntang is the only one with Yang Chengde.
