187 An immortal taking in a disciple (1)
room head Qin, this old man has been working hard for the past few days and has caught a cold, which is why he has a fever and fainted. I have just prescribed him three portions of medicinal soup. These medicinal soups are to be brewed three times a day for three days. As long as he perspits, this old man’s cold will be dispelled. After the cold is dispelled, let this old man rest for a few more days and he should be fine, hehe.
In the clinic, Xia Pingan followed the doctor out of the room. The doctor was in his fifties, surnamed Bai, and carried a medicine box on his back. He was a famous doctor in the surrounding villages. Xia Pingan had asked the staff of the clinic to bring him in by carriage. He had just finished treating Chang Sang Jun and was coming out of the room.
alright. What else do I need to pay attention to besides taking medicine and resting? ” Wang Yao asked. Xia Pingan asked respectfully.
well, the old man’s spleen and stomach are weak these days, so he shouldn’t eat too much. It’s best to only eat a little millet porridge. When the old man has recovered, he should be fine after eating some meat soup!
“Many thanks, doctor Bai!” Xia Pingan personally sent the doctor out of the building, paid the fee for the footwork, and then asked Ah Niu to drive the carriage to send Dr Bai back.
Doctor Bai had prescribed some ephedra, kudzu vine root, perilla leaf, radix sileris, cassia twig, and angelica roots, which had already been wrapped in leaves.
When they returned to the hotel, Xia Pingan took the medicine to the kitchen and personally boiled it for Changsang Jun.
Medicine pots and the like were always available in the hotel, and it was convenient to boil medicine.
Bianque did a good job as the General Manager of the hotel. The hotel was located in Bohai County and was quite large. The entire building covered more than 20 mu and was surrounded by a huge courtyard. It was just beside the road leading to the city and had more than 40 rooms. Other than Xia Pingan, the head of the hotel, there was another person in the building. They were all bianque’s subordinates. They were in charge of the kitchen, stable, and guest rooms. Bianque, the head of the hotel, was in charge of the accounts and management of the hotel.
Because bianque was loyal and intelligent, and he knew how to write and write, although he was young, he had quite the prestige in the building. He was trusted by the owner and was kind and sympathetic to the people in the building. Thus, he was deeply trusted by everyone. This building welcomed merchants and travelers from all over the world every day, and business was good.
ah, dormitory head, why did you come to the kitchen to cook the medicine? I can do it, Yingluo. Xia Pingan cooked the medicine for a while. Zheng Guan, who was in charge of the kitchen work, saw Xia Pingan cooking the medicine in the kitchen and was shocked. He quickly came over to help Xia Pingan cook the medicine.
no need, no need. There are a lot of people at the hotel now. You can just call the guests outside. Don’t delay the business. I can handle this, ” Xia Pingan quickly waved his hand and let Zheng Guan handle other things.
How could Xia ping ‘an let someone else take care of this old deity? she had to do it herself to show her sincerity.
“Alright, if there’s anything you need, just call me!”
“Alright, go get busy!”
In less than an hour, Xia Pingan had finished boiling the medicine. He took the medicine and waited for it to cool down a little before he personally took it to the room.
Chang Sang Jun was still pretending to have a fever and was in a coma. She seemed to be in a daze. Xia Pingan helped Chang Sang Jun up and personally fed her the medicine spoon by spoon.
After taking the medicine, Chang Sang Jun’s eyes opened groggily, and he seemed to have sobered up a little. ah, where am I? ”
“Old Sir, you stay in the building!”
“What am I doing here?”
Xia ping ‘an told him how he brought Chang Sang Jun to the hotel. old Sir, you are tired and cold. You should rest in this hotel for a few days. We’ll talk again when you’re better!
Chang Sang Jun’s eyes were fixed on Xia ping ‘an. Suddenly, he sighed and struggled to get up from the bed. thank you for saving me, Mr. Qin. However, I’m penniless now that I’ve fled to this place. I’m afraid I can’t afford the Kasaya needed for the building.
“What are you talking about, old man? if you have money, you have to save people. If you don’t have money, you have to save people. It’s fate that I met you. Old man, you can rest here in peace. I have the final say in this building. I’ll be responsible for all your expenses here. Old man, you don’t have to worry too much. Have a good rest!”
After consoling Chang Sang Jun, she laid down to rest. After a while, Xia Pingan brought over some millet porridge that she had cooked and let Chang Sang Jun have some.
Under Xia ping ‘an’s care, Chang Sang Jun’s body gradually recovered. When Chang Sang Jun’s body gradually recovered, Xia ping’ an brought some meat soup for Chang Sang Jun and asked the people in the restaurant to boil hot water for Chang Sang Jun to take a bath. She even bought new clothes for Chang Sang Jun.
In less than five days, Changsang Jun gradually recovered, and his complexion improved day by day.
......
On this day, Xia Pingan was doing the accounts in the stable when he suddenly heard the neighing of horses and the noise of clamoring outside the door. At first, Xia Pingan did not pay much attention to it. There were many guests coming and going in this building, and it was normal for the horses resting in the stables to bite and kick each other occasionally. There were people in the stables to take care of them, and generally, in such a situation, they only needed to pull the fighting horses away.
In just a short while, Ah Niu ran in, panting heavily. Looking at Ah Niu’s expression, he was on the verge of tears. dormitory head, bad news! A horse in the stable has fainted. The few guests who are riding the horse said that there’s a problem with the grass that we feed the horse. They want us to compensate them with a horse Pixiu.
In this era, the value of a horse was almost the same as that of a carriage in the future. If an ordinary person wanted to buy a horse, they would have to spend a lot of money. For those who were not well-off, a horse could cause a family to suffer heavy losses, and they had to borrow money to afford it.
Ah Niu, if there’s anything, we’ll stay here. Don’t worry, let’s go out and see what’s going on, Yingluo, ” Xia Pingan said to Ah Niu. Then, he followed Ah Niu out of the room.
When he heard that Xia Pingan had something to do at the hotel, Ah Niu looked at Xia Pingan gratefully before following him out of the hotel and to the stable in the courtyard.
There were seven or eight horses in the stable. There was also a big red Horse lying stiffly on the ground. From time to time, white saliva would come out of the horse’s mouth. It looked like it was dying.
A few guests with bags on their backs were excitedly surrounding the stables. They were quarreling with a few waiters in the inn, and the smell of gunpowder was strong.
“This horse was still fine when we came yesterday, but after one night, it’s gone. There must be a problem with the grass you fed it. You either pay me money or buy me a new good horse.”
The few guests with backpacks had travelled all over the country. They even carried sabers and swords with them. Their attitudes were unyielding, and it was obvious that they were not to be trifled with.
guests, the horse feed that we fed is all here. You can take a look at it. The other horses are fine after eating it, but this horse has collapsed. This means that it’s not a problem with our horse feed. If there’s a problem with our horse feed, all the horses here should have collapsed. This horse should be sick. If it’s sick, it’s none of our business, ” one of the inn’s waiters explained.
