Chapter 70 The Power of Mahjong
After the quilt was installed on the car, he could only sit down one person. Chang Sheng was leading the horse in front, and Song Kai could only walk beside the car.
"Why do you think of me like this?" Song Kai asked, "Is this young master very handsome?"
"Yeah!" Qingniang nodded vigorously, with a happy smile on her lips.
Song Kai couldn't stand it anymore, "Flower silly girl! There is no humor at all."
Qingniang ignored Song Kai's strange swear words, but she still smiled happily, "You are so nice, you let Qingniang sit in the car and you walk on the ground by yourself."
"You are a woman, I am a man, of course!" Song Kai reached out and knocked Qingniang on the head, "That's stupid!"
"Qing Niang is not stupid! Qing Niang is a maid and Lang Jun is the master. Of course, Lang Jun should be sitting in the car," Qing Niang stared at Song Kai with watery eyes, without blinking.
Song Kai suddenly found that the little girl could discharge electricity, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "Okay, kid, just stubborn. Hold these bedding. If it falls, I won't hit you!"
"I know that Langjun won't blame Qingniang," Qingniang laughed, "Langjun is the smartest, most kind and best master."
Old Song Kai's face was flushed. Although his face was hot and he felt that these praises were a bit too much, he was very helpful in his heart. He was admired by others and was still admired by a little beauty. This felt so good!
After talking again, the pedestrians on the street began to rush, and in more than an hour, the city gate would be closed. People outside the city would go out before the city gate was closed.
Next to the carriage, a thin man was walking on the road when he suddenly staggered and fell to the ground. Several vegetables from the shoulder pole rolled out.
Qingniang screamed "Ah".
Song Kai asked Changsheng to stop the car, and he hurried over, "What's wrong with this husband?"
"Head...the head is a little dizzy and disgusting," the man whispered.
Song Kai looked at the face of this person and realized that this person had hypoglycemia. He thought that he should have eaten less and overworked, so he suddenly fainted.
There was a sugar cake sold nearby. Song Kai walked over, bought a sugar cake, and put it in the man's hand, "Eat this cake and hurry on your way, and eat more in the future...ah."
Halfway through, Song Kai stopped. This disease is easy to treat, and it is enough to keep your body healthy. But in this era, hungry people are everywhere outside the city, so what can I do?
After greeting Changsheng, Song Kai left.
The man was eating sugar cakes voraciously, and did not forget to thank Song Kai. Song Kai waved his hand and sighed in his heart that there were almost two places outside the city and inside the city. People in the city spent money like soil, while more people outside the city could only make a living.
Song Kai understood that in Suzhou, the reason why farmers starved was not that there was not enough food, but because the tax was too heavy. Although the whole world was not in chaos now, every governor of the Taoist government was increasing taxes, hoarding grain, recruiting soldiers and buying horses. These pressures were all shared on the poor farmers. If the world was peaceful, the farmers in Suzhou would still be very rich.
"Your heart is so good," Qing Niang whispered, "The uncle was so pitiful just now. Is he sick?"
"Not counting, it's just low blood sugar...oh, it's just deficiency of qi and blood," Song Kai explained.
"What is deficiency of qi and blood?" Qing Niang stared at Song Kai with her eyes.
Song Kai thought for a while and said, "Qi is a very important energy to maintain our body. This is what a person means. Qi, blood, body fluids, are the basic functions of our body. Let me first talk about some basic medical theories, let's talk about the five internal organs. Our body has five major organ systems. Uh, what is a system? The system is... it's a whole, and one... OK, no matter whether you understand or not, you can listen first!"
Song Kai talked to Qingniang about the theory of traditional Chinese medicine to Qingniang. This explanation is a bit complicated. It is mainly because Song Kai’s own traditional Chinese medicine theory is all written in vernacular literature. The traditional Chinese medicine theory he learned is actually very different from the theory of Yin and Yang and Five Elements in the "Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic". He has participated in some scientific theories and Western medicine theory. This explanation also requires explaining the system and functions.
Fortunately, Qingniang is smart enough and has a lot of understanding.
Song Kaiming understood that traditional Chinese medicine is a practical summary science. Every Chinese medicine practitioner has his own different understanding of the same traditional Chinese medicine theory, which is also the reason why traditional Chinese medicine is difficult to learn. Although Song Kai didn't understand it very well, he would try his best to give Qingniang the opportunity to practice clinically in the future. In that case, if what he learned is applied, Qingniang will naturally understand the theory more deeply.
Not long after, the carriage entered the backyard of the inn and several people distributed the bedding into each guest room.
Changsheng ran to Song Kai, "Shopkeeper, what you said just now is the medical skills that can cure diseases? Why can't I understand a single word?"
"Because you are too stupid," Song Kaixiao, "work quickly."
After dividing the bedding, everything was ready. Song Kai went to the restaurant in front and shouted to the diners, tea guests, and mahjong guests: "Everyone, our Hongchen Inn's guest room is finally open today. The price is tentative, each room is always the same as the daily price. The room is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the configuration is complete. If you are interested, you can go and take a look first and make a decision after reading it."
"What room is it! You'd better rob it if you have a lifetime of money!"
"That's right, the black shop! Hey, it's time for you to play the cards, hurry up!"
"I don't know what this inn is going to be, but let alone the wine, tea, food, and mahjong in this inn! Haha, if it's this inn... well, I'll go and have a look first."
"I'm here to fool people again, but...oh! The shopkeeper! If you stay here, can you light the lights and play mahjong at night?" A fat man muttered first, then shouted loudly.
Song Kai sighed. He found that he had underestimated the power of mahjong, and nodded, "Okay, as long as you can get all the people together, it's OK."
"Okay! I, Fatty Liu San, want to stay for one night!" The fat man didn't even look at the room and paid the money. Then the three card friends on his table took out the money and opened a room.
"..." Song Kai looked at Nie Lingding with his eyes.
Nie Lingling smiled proudly.
Four rooms were sold at once, and with Song Kai, Nie Lingdang, Qingniang, and Xue Weihai had to occupy four more, leaving only twelve rooms.
Starting with Fatty Liu San, the rest of the people who played mahjong were a little hesitant. Although this mahjong is fun, it is a bit expensive after all. Moreover, it is said that mahjong is already on the black market, but the price is too high...
"Everyone wait, I'll go to the back room first. If the room is pretty good, let's rent a room for four of us and play mahjong all night, wouldn't it be nice?" a thin monkey mahjong guest whispered.
"Brother Lu, go, go, go back and see if there are tables and chairs in the guest room..."
The four people ran towards the backyard, and then a few more people followed.
Not long after, the thin monkey named Lu came over with breath.
