Chapter 131 It’s Hard to Describe Human Nature. New Things Arrive.

Eight rivers surround Chang'an, and ice and frost form on the fence. The rich find it boring, while the poor long for leisure. The chisel is wet and the clothes are soaked, and the cup is dry when drinking wine. The shopkeeper has left temporarily, and a new species of Hu Fan has returned.

The next morning, Pei Yaoqing and Li Longji had breakfast together and waved goodbye to Li Yi.

Li Yi first changed the dressing for the patient with pulmonary carcinoma, and then turned to Yu Huaide to check on the situation.

"You have to stay for a few more days. There is inflammation now and you can't operate it. Don't worry." Li Yi observed and chose a safe method.

Now that it has been cut, if the incision becomes infected again, there will be no chance of medical malpractice.

Yu Huaide had no idea what Li Yi was going to do, otherwise, he would probably refuse.

Now he is obedient and has excellent medical follow-up.

In late October, Yu Huaide's inflammation had completely disappeared. He muttered something like "all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Office are quacks", and Li Yi arranged for surgery.

Anesthesia, surgery, suturing without removing sutures, bandaging, and completion.

"It's best to wear nothing in the past few days, and then take this medicine, two tablets once a day, which is a five-day supply.

Come tomorrow to change the dressing, and arrange the next dressing change time depending on the situation. In the past half month, I can't go to women or men, and I can't... either. "

Li Yi gave the doctor's order, but no family member signed it, and the patient himself didn't sign it.

Yu Huaide didn't seem to listen to Li Yi's words at all. He was staring blankly at the things being cut on the plate.

After a while, he came back to his senses: "You, you cut it... for me?"

"Ah, if you don't cut it, you will get gonorrhea next time, and as a man, I tell you, this is it..."

Li Yi understood that the patient was emotional, so he quickly comforted him and whispered what the benefits would be after the operation.

As a result, I almost said that something was wrong. It seemed that the anesthesia was not working anymore. I quickly gave him another injection and gave me medicine, estrogen medicine.

"Is it really like this?" Yu Huaide didn't care about getting an extra needle. He was excited, it was like that.

"For half a month, you must take medicine for the first five days." Seeing that the patient's mood was stable, Li Yi quickly changed the topic.

"It turns out that Mr. Li is also a member of the same group." Yu Huaide asked for help again.

"Ouch!" Li Yi shouted.

"What's wrong?" Yu Huaide stopped smiling.

"You can't eat any of the food you have. Don't eat seafood, fish, shrimps, and crabs. Don't touch leeks, garlic sprouts, coriander, onions, ginger, garlic, mustard, and anything spicy."

Li Yi, who changed the subject, said that he should pay attention to his diet and nothing else.

Yu Huaide let out a long sigh and said, "I will stay with you tonight."

"Sure!" Li Yi nodded.

***

The city of Chang'an was bustling with activity. Many people who had little work or could not find work in winter were hired by the government to shave ice.

The money was provided by merchants and wealthy people, and Pei Yaoqing arranged for government officials to attract investment.

I told the people in Benla how beautiful the ice sculptures are. Who funded the sculptures will be engraved on them, and some will be placed at the door of the shop.

"Customs officer, let me tell you, it only looks better at night. There are lights placed in the ice, like a fairyland. If you put two in front of your door, who wouldn't take a second look?"

The yamen servant told a local wealthy family that there had been officials in his family, but the recent generation had not lived up to expectations.

The customs officer was tempted. His family had two houses, and the other was rented out. The rent in Chang'an was not low, and he was rich.

This customs officer is tempted, and now the family needs fame so that the child can find a way out.

"How much does one cost?" he asked.

"In addition to the customs officers, what kind of carvings should be divided, and the size..." The yamen patient said patiently, telling them one by one, with different prices.

Afterwards, the yamen servant carried two bolts of silk and left, telling the customs officer that he would be given priority.

The yamen servant trotted back to the county yamen, went to the warehouse to register, and chose which one.

After registering, he received a sign that read: fifty dollars.

This was his commission from the promotion fee, so he turned around and found another target.

Pei Yaoqing was enjoying himself and was not in any hurry.

He followed the reward method provided by Li Yi and found that it really worked.

Except for him, all the county magistrates are running business, and no one is lazy.

As the order of Chang'an, he was not in a hurry, someone would come to him to discuss raising money for the ice sculpture.

At this time, people were chipping away at the eight main rivers and ponds in Chang'an City, carving out gaps around the pieces of ice.

A hole is made in the ice, the rope is passed under the ice, a hole is drilled at the other end, and the rope is tied.

After cutting and prying where the surrounding ice is connected, a piece of ice is separated.

People on the shore pulled the ropes, while others spread straw and put up boards.

It used to be very hard to pull, but now I always use a hand hoist, and the ice is slowly pulled up with a splash.

Thick logs were used to set up a shelf, and large ice blocks were hoisted up. The trucks below came over and put them down, and one piece basically equaled one truck.

The working people work hard, and the rich people sit upstairs and watch the excitement. When they see someone accidentally falling into the water and crawling out in embarrassment, the people upstairs will laugh happily.

The government servants who usually watch from the ice cutting site will also laugh.

But this time it was different. They tied ropes to the people chipping away at the ice.

When a person falls in, he is immediately dragged and pushed into a makeshift shed. Old clothes are taken out and put on, and a bowl of ginger syrup is given to drink.

The Ming government had agreed that if Bing Duan was injured or had an accident while working, the person in charge would deduct the money.

In line with living standards, government officials have thought of many ways.

Bring a lot of old clothes and throw them into the shed, build a small charcoal stove, set up a clay pot, and boil ginger syrup.

Don't dare to give people cold sickness, that will waste a lot of time.

If you fall into the water and slip under the ice and drown, you can't expect to get a penny this winter.

"Take a rest, wipe your hair, sit by the stove and bake. Don't worry, pay me."

When the yamen servant saw that the man who had come back to change clothes was about to rush out again, he quickly stopped him and tried to persuade him.

"Don't be afraid, there will be no delay. How can you take the money and not work." The man wanted to leave.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid. Sit down and let's talk." The yamen officer forced the person down and started to argue with each other.

***

With four days to go until the twelfth lunar month, Yu Huaide took the oral anti-inflammatory medicine, put on a skirt and boarded his carriage.

"Dr. Li, I will come to you tomorrow and give you the money." Yu Huaide shouted to Li Yi in the car.

Li Yi nodded, UU read a book www.uukanshu.net and said: "I don't want grain, Zhuang Zhongzhong has plenty of grain."

"I know, farewell." Yu Huaide shouted and closed the door, and the three carriages and a group of people left.

"Food prices are going to drop, but next year... Alas! Ignorance is the most terrifying thing."

Li Yi muttered and turned back to the courtyard. A new general physical education teacher was sent to him and he began to study.

The next day, Yu Huaide came to deliver money, bolts of silk and strings of copper coins.

The steward Song De asked someone to take inventory, and Yu Huaide asked someone to move a box out of his car.

He opened the box and said to Li Yi: "Dr. Li, I gave you something good. You must have never seen this kind of radish that tastes sweet."

Li Yi looked over, smiled, and asked, "Is it good? I'll buy it."

"There are still some. From Tubo, there are people from further west who go there to sell them. I exchanged a lot of tea leaves for them.

After I came back and gave it away to others, they all said it was delicious. It's a pity that there are no seeds, otherwise I would have to plant one.

If Boss Li wants it, I’ll give you two more boxes. Don’t talk about money, don’t talk about it. "

Yu Huaide explained the origin and waved his hand to refuse to sell.

"No, it's five pieces per catty. If you go over there and encounter something that has never been seen or is rare in the Tang Dynasty, if you bring it back, you will definitely pay a high price."

Li Yifeng wants to give money, but this is a carrot.

He had heard that it existed in the Han Dynasty before, but he had never seen it in the Tang Dynasty and no one knew about it.

The only information that can be checked is a sentence in the Compendium of Materia Medica: Yuan Shi came from Hu Di, and the smell is slightly like radish.

Li Shizhen said that in the Yuan Dynasty, radish was brought from the Hu people. At that time, radish was already called radish, so the radish of the Hu people was naturally a carrot, so there was nothing wrong with it.

As for the lack of seeds…

This can be planted without seeds, and seeds will come out after planting.
