The female doctor farmed the land, bought a husband and set up a separate household
Chapter 83 When sleepiness comes, there is a pillow
It was a sumptuous banquet that took everyone an hour to finish.
Until everyone's stomach was full, there was still some food left on the table.
The vegetables couldn’t be kept in this weather, so Jiang Sining asked each family to pack them up and take them home to eat in the evening.
"Ning girl, what should we do?" Aunt Li said, "We are eating and taking here."
"Aunt, there's nothing wrong with it." Jiang Sining said, "If it weren't for your help, my house wouldn't have been built so quickly."
"Helping each other is what we should do."
"Oh, right," Jiang Sining said, remembering the important matter, "Let's settle the previous wages today while everyone is here."
When they heard they were going to be paid, everyone perked up.
Jiang Sining took out a big purse, and the copper coins inside were exchanged at the market yesterday.
Uncle Li helped to record the working days, and Jiang Sining also started to calculate them for him.
Uncle Li worked a full shift for 20 days. According to the current labor market, the highest wage for a skilled worker like him is 500 wen per month, while others are paid 400 wen per month.
Jiang Sining counted the money and distributed it to everyone according to the number of working days.
After receiving the money, everyone was satisfied. After all, working for Ning's family, they earned a lot of money and could eat meat twice a day, which was impossible no matter where they went.
"This is everyone's wages." Jiang Sining said, "In addition, to thank everyone for their help, I will give everyone an extra 10 coins per day."
An extra 10 cents a day?
Everyone was stunned. It was only 20 Wen for these 200 days, which was the regular salary of several people!
This is equivalent to one person receiving two salaries!
"Ning girl, you shouldn't waste your money like this." Aunt Li quickly advised, "I know you want to do good to us, but it's not easy for you to make money. You still have brothers and sisters to support, and your husband also needs medical treatment. So I think you should just forget it."
"That's right, Ning girl," others also advised, "We want what's ours, but we can't take this extra stuff. If we take it, we'd be heartless."
"Don't be polite to me, my family will need your help in many places in the future, and I will definitely trouble you again." Jiang Sining said, "This money is considered as advance payment for the work."
After hearing what she said, no one could refuse anymore.
After receiving the money, he went home happily.
After everyone left, it was my aunt's family's turn.
"Aunt, uncle-in-law," Jiang Sining said, "I won't count the days with you. I'll give you one tael of silver for now. When everything is done, we'll count again."
Jiang Yaorong knew that this girl would never calculate again in the future and would just give them much more money than before.
This is a kind of help and it is her kindness.
"Ning, I know I shouldn't take so much from you," Jiang Yaorong said, "but you can see that we really need some money for emergencies. When we make money from brewing wine in the future, we will definitely pay you back."
Jiang Sining shook her head. No matter what her aunt said, she would give the money.
Her aunt is one of the few relatives in the world who is nice to her. If she doesn't help her, is she going to help Jiang Hua?
She would rather throw the silver into the river to hear the sound.
"The house is almost habitable now," Jiang Sining said, "How about this, auntie, your family can live in the first room in the west row, and use the rest for brewing wine for the time being."
"Okay, I'll start making the bed this afternoon." The uncle-in-law said, "Whatever you two want, I'll make it for you first!"
"We don't need beds."
"what?"
Everyone, including Si Chenan, was stunned.
You have a house but you don’t want a bed. Are you going to sleep on the floor forever?
The body can’t bear it!
Jiang Sining continued, "Uncle-in-law, don't make a bed this afternoon. I saw a kind of kang in a book, so I'll try to make one today."
Several people looked at each other, wondering what a kang is.
"Madam," Si Chenan knew about kangs, "It's not very cold here even in winter, so we don't need a kang, right?"
not cold?
You will know how powerful it is this winter.
"It's quick to make a kang, and you can sleep on it in two or three days. It's warm in winter and cool in summer."
Si Chenan nodded and said, "In that case, I'll listen to you, my lady."
The aunt and her husband looked at each other and thought that Ning's husband was really good. He was not arrogant at all and was so obedient.
"Aunt," Jiang Sining said, "I bought a lot of cotton cloth and cotton before. It happens that the fermentation of wine takes more than 20 days. During this time, I would like to trouble you to make some quilts and blankets, and make some clothes and jackets for Jiang Yan and the other children."
"I can do this," said my aunt, "but if I don't do it well, please don't think it's ugly."
"As long as they are warm and comfortable, it's fine." Jiang Sining said, "But when the clothes are made, I can help cut the samples."
After sending Jiang Yan and the other two to take a nap, Jiang Sining took out the cotton cloth and cotton.
When she saw there were so many of them, my aunt knew that they must have their own set, and her gratitude towards Jiang Sining became even stronger.
Jiang Sining and Li Fu started to build a kang in the bedroom downstairs.
This is not very difficult. Anyone who understands the basics of heat transfer can figure it out with a little research.
It only took the two of them one afternoon to finish one. They just needed to do some work, put down a straw mattress and a blanket, and they could sleep on it.
According to Jiang Sining's design, she placed the stove behind the house so that there would be no smoke or dust everywhere in the house.
After the other parts are completed, a row of small side rooms will be built behind the house, which can store enough firewood, charcoal, etc., and there is no need to worry about freezing in the winter.
"Ning girl, are you planning to install a kang in every room on the first floor?"
"Except for the main room in the middle, we want all the others," Jiang Sining said, "as well as the wing room on the east side and the room where you, my uncle, live."
Li Fu took a deep breath. There must be more than ten rooms in total!
This girl has so many bedrooms, where can she find so many people to live in them?
But he didn't ask any more questions. Ning must have her own ideas in her mind. He just needed to do the job well.
The next day, Li Fu became proficient and finished three in one day, so Jiang Sining asked him to stop temporarily.
There are four kangs, one for her, one for Si Chenan, one for Jiang Yan and Qianqian, and one for her aunt's family, which is just enough.
The next step is to repair the stove.
The kitchen and toilet take up two rooms, and the remaining three rooms in the west wing are used for brewing wine.
The stove needed a more professional person to build it, so Jiang Sining asked Uncle Li to help. He spent two days building the big stove, put the huge iron pot he bought from the market on it, and waited for the fire to be started.
For the first meal in the new house, Jiang Sining didn't pay much attention to it. He just prepared a few dishes and the family set up a table in the yard and ate there.
She pays great attention to the first pot of grain for brewing wine.
To brew grain wine, sorghum, corn, rice, barley, millet... many things can be used. Wine brewed from different grains has its own unique flavor.
There is plenty of sorghum and corn in this world, so Jiang Sining plans to use these two as the main ingredients and add some barley to increase the flavor.
The grains for brewing wine must first be crushed, soaked in clean water for an hour or so, and then steamed in a steamer. Then, sprinkle the ground koji on it and mix well, and then put it into a large earthenware jar for fermentation.
When the temperature is low, it usually takes a month or even longer to ferment.
But with the current temperature, it only takes half a month. During this period, you need to pay close attention to the fermentation situation. You cannot let rats and insects get in, and the fermentation temperature cannot be too high, otherwise it will go bad.
Naturally, Jiang Sining did this personally, and he also taught his uncle-in-law, since he would be the main force in brewing wine in the future.
"Then I'd better make some furniture while I wait for the fermentation."
Li Fu was a man who could not sit still. Seeing that Jiang Sining's house was still empty, he decided to continue doing his job.
"There's no rush for furniture," Jiang Sining said, "There are more important things right now."
"doing what?"
"Buy food."
Buy lots of food, the more the better.
Whether it is corn, sorghum, barley, rice, wheat, or even sweet potatoes and potatoes, the more the better.
Before she made wine, she couldn't find a suitable reason to buy a large amount, but now she can. If anyone asks, it is used for making wine.
Calculating the time, there are about twenty days left before the heavy rain in the original novel comes. When that happens, the floods will destroy the farmland, and everyone will have no harvest this season. The price of grain has increased several times within a month.
So before that, Jiang Sining had to store as much food as possible.
But there wasn't much money left, so she had to think of a way to make a lot of quick money first.
As for what to do, she has already thought about it, which is to do her old job and treat people.
Moreover, they specialize in treating wealthy people and various difficult and complicated diseases, so they can charge such a high price.
Of course, it is not easy to find such customers, and you need help from people with connections.
If it doesn't work, sell a few more small glass cups in the space.
So she gave the remaining silver to her brother-in-law and asked him to collect the grain first. She then dressed up again as a handsome young man and came to the house of Mr. Liu.
Upon hearing that Jiang Sining had arrived, Mr. Liu immediately put down his work and rushed back home from the warehouse.
"Mr. Xiao, you are finally here! Please take a seat!"
Seeing his smug look, Jiang Sining asked, "Mr. Liu, have you encountered any good things recently?"
"Good news! This is great news!" said the great philanthropist Liu. "Mr. Xiao, thanks to you, my wife is pregnant after taking the medicine you prescribed!"
Oh, are you really pregnant?
"Congratulations, Mr. Liu."
"Haha, this is all thanks to Master Xiao. You are my great benefactor!" said the great philanthropist Liu. "If Master Xiao needs any help in the future, please feel free to ask!"
It can be seen that Mr. Liu was sincerely grateful this time. After all, in this world and this era, having many children and grandchildren is a great blessing. If there are only a few people in your family, others will think that you have done something against the will of heaven and are being punished by God.
"This time, I really have something to do," Jiang Sining said, "My master asked me to come out and gain experience, and treat more difficult and complicated diseases. But Mr. Liu also knows that patients with difficult and complicated diseases are hard to come by. So far, I haven't met many, and I am worried about not being able to complete the task given by my master."
"Mr. Xiao, aren't you just feeling sleepy and have a pillow?"
"What do you mean, Mr. Liu?"
"A few days ago, Liu went to the next county to collect goods. I heard that Mr. Hu from the next county was seriously ill and had been bedridden for more than half a year." Liu Dashan said, "Now he is posting rewards everywhere, asking for capable doctors to save his life."
Jiang Sining was slightly stunned. Isn't this a coincidence?
"But Mr. Hu's condition is very serious, and many famous doctors are helpless," said Mr. Liu. "Mr. Xiao, do you want to go and see him?"
"Of course I want to go."
"In that case, it's better to go earlier," said Mr. Liu. "How about this, since it's still early today, I will accompany Mr. Xiao."
Mr. Liu has a carriage.
A horse-drawn carriage is faster than an ox-drawn carriage, and its compartment is spacious with soft seats, making it more than ten times more comfortable to sit in than an ox-drawn carriage.
It was not yet noon when we arrived at the door of Mr. Hu's house in the neighboring county.
Mr. Liu had a business relationship with Mr. Hu before, so after he informed them, someone led them into the house.
As expected of a wealthy family, the large house with five courtyards is decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, and the courtyard is fully equipped with rockery, ponds, and screens.
Even the paths in the courtyard were paved neatly with bluestone slabs.
Arriving at the third courtyard, Jiang Sining discovered that there were quite a few people here. The servant who was in charge of leading the way said to Mr. Liu, "You two, there are too many things going on at home today. Please forgive me for not entertaining you well. Our eldest young master will be here soon."
"Brother," Jiang Sining asked, "Can I ask what these people are doing here?"
"Oh, they are just like you, they are here to see our master." The servant said, "I heard they are all famous doctors from other places, but..."
The servant didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clear.
There were at least twenty or thirty famous doctors who came to treat Mr. Hu, but none of them was useful. As time went by, the family naturally gave up hope in these so-called famous doctors.
While waiting, Jiang Sining looked at the famous doctors around him. There were two who looked energetic, with eyes full of wisdom, and they must have some real skills.
There was another person who was extremely thin and looked like a monkey, with two small eyes that were sparkling with brilliance.
Based on Jiang Sining's experience in judging people, regardless of how good this person's medical skills are, he must be a shrewd and cunning person.
It’s true that in this world, you can meet all kinds of people.
Not long after, a wealthy man walked out of the house and bowed to everyone: "Everyone, my father is awake. Please follow me in."
