This afternoon, Nie Shen'er collected a lot of medical fees and medicine fees, pocketing his second pot of gold from practicing medicine. The income was actually more than what he earned from collecting herbs in ten days.

After all, you can't pick good things like Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng every day when picking herbs. More often, you pick ordinary herbs, and you won't get much money if you sell them in baskets.

It’s different when you charge for treating illnesses. According to today’s market prices, getting rich quickly is just around the corner.

After a day of careful treatment, the swelling on Nie Feng's ankle had begun to subside on the third day, and he was able to walk with the help of crutches.

After learning that Nie Shen'er was about to start seeing patients, he was not idle. Although he could not help collect herbs, he could help with other things.

For example, you can make a nice plaque and hang it at the door to make it easier for patients to identify it.

Nie Feng has good craftsmanship and he makes his own hunting bows and arrows.

He asked Zhang Dali to help buy a piece of wood the size of a plaque. He sat in the courtyard and carved the three words "Huichuntang" all day long. After carefully carving them, he would carefully add ink.

Huichuntang was the name of the clinic that Nie Shen'er came up with. The other two clinics were named Jishidiang and Tongrentang respectively.

Nie Shen'er used to go to two other clinics to sell herbs and was familiar with the shopkeepers. She had told the shopkeepers about her plan to open a clinic and she didn't care whether the shopkeepers would discourage her.

She wanted to live here, and her belief was that people should be more open and honest. She greeted the owner in advance, which was also a way to repay the shopkeeper's kindness in taking care of her when selling herbs - although there was no such thing as friendship in the business.

At first, only people living nearby knew that Shen'er had become a doctor.

But as the patients told one another, over time, even the women in the countryside knew that Nie Shen'er could treat women's diseases.

Because Shen'er treated female patients and did not snatch male patients, the other two clinics did not have the determination to cause trouble. Moreover, they had heard that Nie Shen'er was Zhang Dali's apprentice, so they dared not cause trouble.

Perhaps few people in this county know where Zhang Dali came from.

But the owner of the clinic knew very well that Zhang Dali had connections in Chang'an, who were said to be royal relatives.

Hiss, people who are related to the royal family, let alone the county magistrate's protection behind their clinic, even the county magistrate himself would not dare to offend them.

Why is it clear?

That was because Zhang Dali and his nephew went to greet the clinic on the first day they moved in. Before Zhang Hexuan was ill, the doctor who was responsible for treating Zhang Hexuan was from Jishidiang, one of the other two clinics.

Jishidiang was really impressed. The doctor in charge of treating Zhang Hexuan boasted that he had a relative who was an imperial physician in the palace and had relatives who taught him medical skills. He was confident that his medical skills were also excellent.

However, he was unable to cure Zhang Hexuan. He could have comforted himself by saying that Zhang Hexuan's symptoms were troublesome and difficult to treat. But now, after so many years of treatment, although Zhang Hexuan's illness was not cured, at least it did not get worse!

Unexpectedly, he was slapped in the face. The disease that he could not cure was actually cured by a ten-year-old girl. The key point was that the girl learned the medical skills from medical books by herself.

The doctor who was previously responsible for treating Zhang Hexuan was so ashamed and angry when he learned the explosive news that day. He then told the shopkeeper about it, and even the shopkeeper was convinced.

Although he was convinced, the owner never thought of trying to get her to work in his clinic.

Later, Nie Shen'er revealed that she was going to open a clinic, and the owner of Jishidiang vaguely knew that it was only a matter of time before she opened a clinic.

Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that Nie Shen'er treats women, so it will not affect his business for the time being.

Without any interference from his colleagues, Nie Shen'er was able to sit in class at home smoothly.

After Nie Shen'er opened the clinic, she found that there were so many women here who had health problems after giving birth. Knowing that women have a hard time, Nie Shen'er charged very fairly and tried to charge the lowest market price. For some who were really in need, she would guide them to buy herbs and pay the rest of the money.

Knowing that they could pay for collecting herbs greatly facilitated the women in the village. They worked hard to collect herbs to pay off their own medical expenses, and Nie Shen'er also saved a lot of time collecting herbs herself.

After one year of being in office, Nie Shen'er bought the house he and Zhang Dali had rented. After two years of being in office, he bought a house without a courtyard in a quiet area.

The house next to Zhang Dali is a residence. It is located in a quiet area. According to her ideas, the whole family renovated it and changed it to the appearance she likes. She officially started to sit there at a fixed time every day.

The plaque of the clinic was made by Nie Feng two years ago. The ink on it, which read "Huichuntang", had dried up a lot after so long. Nie Feng took it down and carefully re-inked it before hanging it at the door of the clinic.

The clinic is not very big. Half of it is divided by Nie Shen'er into a waiting area, a consultation area, and a very private inner hall. Patients in need can go in, and Nie Shen'er will examine them inside.

The other half of the clinic is where medicinal materials are stored, and it is divided together with the charging area.

Nie Feng and Pinghua could not read or write, and the only thing they knew was money. Nie Shen'er asked the two elders to be responsible for collecting the money and to keep an eye on the patients coming in and not to do anything tricky in the clinic when she was not paying attention.

Stealing medicine and money is not a big deal, but I am worried that someone with bad intentions will poison the herbs or use other malicious tricks.

Defenses can not do without.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

Of course, it is not necessary for Pinghua and Nie Feng to be together to take care of a small medical clinic. Nie Feng would still check the traps he set outside Wangxin Village every few days.

After capturing the prey, they took it all home for a snack and invited Zhang Dali and Zhang Hexuan to come over as guests.

If you can’t finish it, follow Nie Shen’er’s suggestion and make it into dried bacon and braised food, and eat it in several meals.

If you really can’t finish it, you can give it to your neighbors to deepen your neighborhood relationships.

It can be said that since Nie Shen'er started treating patients and charging fees, the Nie family has no shortage of money.

Moreover, the clinic's opening hours are fixed. Nie Shen'er only sits in the clinic for one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon every day.

Pinghua only needs to sit in the clinic every day, collect money, see the patients coming and going, and learn calligraphy in her spare time.

Yes, she felt that she was illiterate and it was inconvenient for her to work in the clinic, so she took the initiative to ask for learning to read. Nie Shen'er did not give her any perfunctory response and taught her mother to read seriously every time.

Nie Feng felt that he could not fall behind his wife and daughter and could not be the only illiterate person in the family, so he also started to study.

Before long, the first thing they remembered was how to write Shen'er's name, followed by their own and each other's names.

In addition to seeing patients, Nie Shen'er also provides home treatment. The home visits charge a higher fee, so he can earn more.

Nie Shen'er was fourteen years old when he achieved economic freedom.

But the Nie family still lived next door to Zhang Dali and had no intention of moving to a better house.

Firstly, Nie Shen'er didn't want to be separated from her master and Zhang Hexuan. Secondly, the location was carefully selected by Zhang Dali. It was really good, the environment was impeccable, and the neighbors around were of high quality. Nie Shen'er expressed her satisfaction.

This year, Zhang Hexuan was sixteen years old.

In this era, men could marry at the age of sixteen, and women could marry at the age of fourteen.

Therefore, it can be said that a boy becomes an adult at the age of sixteen, and although he has not yet reached adulthood, he can still start a family and build a career.

The brother that Zhang Dali had been looking forward to finally came to pick him up.
