One by one, the smoked chickens were taken down and distributed to the commoners before being placed on the table as offerings.
The cooking method was the same as the smoked chicken, except that the chickens chosen were hens, which were about two years old.
The commoners raised chickens for at least half a year before they could lay eggs. After two years, the number of eggs laid would drop and they would be eliminated.
Some hens would be kept to lead the flock and give them a chance to build a nest.
The hatched chicks did not dare to eat insects and would run away when they saw insects.
With the old hens leading, the flock dared to fight against the heavens and the earth.
The Li Family Zhuangzi collected poultry and pigs to provide the commoners with fat and protein.
The commoners in Henan Province earned a sum of money and reduced the price conflict between them.
"Li Dongzhu!" About twenty steps away, an old woman placed her hand on the back of the neck of a six or seven-year-old boy who was holding a smoked chicken.
"Auntie, please come closer." Li Yi stood up.
The old woman and the young boy came over. Someone beside them served the soup with chopped green onion and lard.
The lard soup was boiled with water. After the water boiled, salt, pepper, chopped green onion, and lard paste were added. The fire was extinguished.
Drinking boiled water always felt like something was missing.
The staple food was bread. There was no oil and it was baked directly in the pot.
"Dongzhu, you are indeed blessed by the heroic spirit. My third grandson went to the outhouse two nights ago and came back saying that someone was floating and calling his name.
He started to have a fever at night and drank more water according to the instructions in the newspaper. He used a cold towel to reduce the fever for a while.
Last night, he had a fever again and said that the person was calling his name. I had no choice but to bring him here.
Look, he is much better now. Drink the soup slowly, it's hot. "
The old woman explained the situation to her grandson.
"Oh!" Li Yi looked at the child and turned his head.
The little girl had already stood up and sat in front of the child. She did not use a pillow and directly grabbed his wrist.
"Master, he is still burning. He is very excited now and drinking soup is to replenish his water. But from the looks of his face and pulse, his mood has stabilized. "
"Give him a prescription! It was raining the day before yesterday. He went out to play during the day and got wet, right?
He started to have a fever at night and went to the outhouse. When the cold wind blew, he started to hallucinate.
I didn't get a fever because I saw something. I've been having a fever for two days. It's okay, I didn't cough. "
Li Yi observed the situation and listened to the aunt's words.
"Godly Doctor, Li Dongzhu, you really are a Godly Doctor. This child is disobedient when it's raining and insists on running outside."
The old woman's expression relaxed, and her eyes were filled with excitement.
The little girl had someone send her something, so she wrote a prescription for two pills.
"Li Dongzhu, you don't want to take the medicine … that …" The old woman's face was once again filled with embarrassment.
"You have to take the medicine. When you go back, take the prescription to the Li Family Zhuangzi to get the medicine. I'll print it. It's free."
The little girl took out a small stamp. Laughing heartily, she pressed it on the stamp. It wasn't her official stamp, as it was too big.
"How can I do that? How could he do that? Should I get off at the Zhuangzi station on the way back? Quick, kowtow to Li Dongzhu. "
The old woman had a complex expression. When she was embarrassed, she accepted it and urged him to kowtow.
"Auntie, don't worry. I'll prepare everything when I get there. I didn't pay for the medicine. Qing Dai will pay for it. "
Li Yi waved his hand. The child was grabbed by the collar and could not kneel down.
"Quick, kowtow to sister." The old woman said to her grandson who could not kneel down.
Li Guicang frowned, "It's not much. Two prescriptions per prescription, three prescriptions per prescription. It adds up to eight dollars."
"Ah? Eight dollars? I have it. I'll pay for it. During the summer, my second grandson had a similar illness. I had to pay three dollars. "
The old woman was at a loss. The difference was too big. Three thousand dollars versus eight dollars. This …
"Has he been cured?" The little girl was puzzled. What kind of medicine was prescribed for the same illness?
Even the cinnabar pills with ginseng, pearls, musk and other expensive herbs did not cost this much.
If the prescription was changed to a decoction, it could cure both illnesses. Even the fever could be cured. Two hundred dollars was more than enough for the rich.
"It's been cured. That monk is very capable. Oh! I didn't buy the medicine. It's free. I paid for the medicine. "
The old woman nodded her head and explained the source of the herbs.
"Great! It's free to ask for medicine. "
The little girl was angry. When her family treated patients, they did not dare to ask for money like this.
However, there were people who gave her golden beans that were worth seven or eight dollars. They were rich. Most importantly, they were gynecologists. The Feng family's daughter was very powerful. She even participated in it.
"Junior brother, you are now Zuo Shiyi. Tell His Majesty to check if there are any medical books written by master in the temple."
The little girl looked for her junior brother. If there were any medical books written by master in the temple, it would be a great sin to ask for money.
You want money for the incense? Did you give master money for the lamp? It's so tiring for master to write medical books!
Li Yi looked at the sky and waved his hand to call Qingsong No. 1 over. He ordered for ginger and pepper to be added to the child's soup.
He turned his head and said, "Li Family Zhuangzi, go investigate. As the Patrol Inspector of the Tang dynasty, how can I tolerate this?"
"Oh! Master, you got promoted again? "
The little girl was stunned for a moment before she understood.
Her master's official position could be changed at will.
"My official position is useless." Li Guicang realized that he had an official position but couldn't use it.
"That's why you have to study hard and be worthy of this position. Don't smear master's face.
Actually, if you want to take the children's exam next year, you will also have an official position.
Why don't we take the children's exam next year and then take the normal exam after that? "
The little girl wasn't interested in being an official. If she passed the children's exam, she would be an official. She would be an internal official and not an external one.
The exam topics were the Book of Songs, Book of History, Book of Rites, Book of Changes, and Spring and Autumn. She could choose which one she knew.
She also knew the Book of Filial Piety and the Analects of Confucius. If she answered all ten questions correctly, she would be given an official position.
If she got two questions wrong and got seven or more wrong, she would be given a certificate.
For ordinary children, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven if they were under ten years old.
In front of the little girl and her junior brother, these were all questions to get marks. They could take the exam as they pleased.
"Master?" Li Guicang shrunk his neck and looked at Li Yi.
"That's fine. Master's inferior disciple can take the children's exam first and then get a scholar's exam. Make do. I'll mention it."
Li Yi felt that he should give his two disciples a chance, just like their academic qualifications.
At that time, he had a doctoral advisor in his twenties in the junior class.
"Thank you, Master. This disciple is stupid and has embarrassed Master." Li Guicang was happy.
"Don't say this in front of Bi Zaifu." Li Yi glared at his second disciple.
After the meal, everyone rushed back. The old woman didn't give her money. She was willing to take the little girl's medicine. It seemed that the medicine would be more effective.
In the blink of an eye, it was October 15th. The moon should be round at night. It was quite round at the 14th last night.
Early in the morning, people rushed to their destinations. The wealthier people stayed at the Pyong Kang Square next to the Pear Garden last night.
Li Yi took out several white coats. It looked like it was going to rain today.
Others wore Taoist robes and monk's robes, but he couldn't wear an official's uniform. He was most willing to wear a white coat.
The nurses and the little girl also wore white coats. Even the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Department followed suit.
Medical apprentices were not allowed to wear white coats outside. In the Tang dynasty, a white coat represented the height of technology and virtue.
It was a pass for all occasions, such as holding poetry meetings, celebrating birthdays, getting married, and attending funerals …
"Xiao Yi, the temples and monasteries all have your medical books or their own handwritten copies. What are you going to do?"
Bi Goo was in contact with Buddhism and Taoism. Now he didn't look very good.
