Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 223 Looking for a job

Princess Shunan frowned and pretended to be angry and said, "Luxi, when did you become so distant from me? It's just two more people living here, and there is no shortage of those two rooms in the mansion.

"Butler Zhang, go and clean up a room for Doctor Xiaolin, close to his aunt."

Butler Zhang agreed.

Princess Shunan looked at Doctor Lin again and said, "Your disciple can live in the mansion with peace of mind. Since she is my disciple, she is also my niece. What's there to mind if my niece lives in my aunt's house?"

"Madam, this is not allowed. It is unreasonable for Wenxuan, a boy, to come in and out of the backyard. How can he live in the mansion?"

It was precisely because of this that a few days ago, Lady Shun'an asked Lin Wenxuan to stay without hesitation. It was also because of this that she was unable to find a temporary worker who could make medicinal food.

She thought for a moment and said, "Then let Dr. Xiaolin walk a few more steps and live in the front yard. Although he will have to endure the cold for a while, it is better than going back to the clinic."

"Old lady, this matter..."

"Luxi, others may not know about my condition, but you are aware of it. There are so many things going on in this mansion every day. I can't just ignore them if I want to. I might get angry to death one day. Only you can pull me back from the gates of hell."

After she said this, Dr. Lin naturally couldn't insist on moving out, so he had no choice but to compromise and asked the housekeeper to prepare a place for Lin Wenxuan to sleep in the front yard.

When Lin Wenxuan heard about this when he came back that night, he was so happy that he almost jumped up: "That's great! Finally I don't have to walk the night road feeling sleepy and cold!"

Song Ying glanced at Doctor Lin and thought to himself that his master really loved his nephew Lin Wenxuan. He had spoken so harshly last night, and now he was going to think of a solution.

"You have been practicing acupuncture for some time. Have you ever tried giving acupuncture to patients in the clinic?" asked Doctor Lin.

Lin Wenxuan's smile froze on his face, and he said awkwardly, "Not yet."

"You have learned it thoroughly before, and now you have reviewed it for such a long time, so you should be familiar with it. Why don't you give acupuncture to people?" Doctor Lin frowned at him and asked suspiciously, "Are you going to back down again?"

"No, that's impossible. I've only reviewed for a few days, and I've only practiced some acupuncture points two or three times. I'm a little worried that I might make a mistake."

Doctor Lin pointed at Song Ying and said, "Your junior sister is also in the clinic, and your master is also here. If you are not sure about which acupuncture points to be pierced and what acupuncture method to use, just ask them.

You have identified the acupuncture points correctly, know how to use acupuncture, and know which acupuncture points to insert, so how can you go wrong?"

"This...I..." Lin Wenxuan hesitated, and finally had to admit honestly that he was cowardly again.

Doctor Lin was angry and speechless, "If you really don't dare, then don't learn acupuncture. It's not necessary to learn acupuncture to be a doctor."

"No, auntie, please give me some more time. I will have a more solid and thorough grasp of the matter and then I will have the courage to give people acupuncture."

Doctor Lin shook his head helplessly, "Then why don't you go practice quickly."

The next day, near noon, Song Ying pulled the last silver needle out of the patient and said with a smile, "Auntie, you don't have to come tomorrow. Come back in five days to let Uncle Master take a look."

Hearing this, the old lady smiled and said, "Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Doctor Song. Go eat quickly. I'm sorry that you have to give me acupuncture on an empty stomach."

"You're too polite, Auntie. I'm a doctor and it's my duty to treat patients. There's no need to be embarrassed." Song Ying smiled politely and leaned over to collect the needles.

The old lady sat up and said while tidying her clothes, "Oh, by the way, Doctor Song, there is a job you asked about last time. There is a family named Qian who wants to open a noodle restaurant in Zhuangyuanfang and needs to hire someone to wash dishes and vegetables.

This job is easy and does not require age. Even a girl in her teens can do it. But she needs to be quick and agile and not lazy. "

"Washing vegetables," Song Ying hesitated, "It's so cold, do you use cold water to wash vegetables?"

"Of course, there is no way to wash dishes. Things that are stained with oil can only be washed clean with hot water. Vegetables, on the other hand, are only stained with some dirt and dust, so they can be washed clean with clean water. Even Tianxianglou does not have the luxury of using hot water to wash vegetables.

You know, the city is different from the countryside. Firewood also needs money to be bought. We are all small businesses, so we can save as much as possible."

"Thank you, Auntie. I'll talk to her later. I'll come to you once she makes a decision." Song Ying thanked her with a smile, but in her heart she didn't want Luo Yanxing to do this job.

It was very cold, and they already had frostbite because they didn't wear warm clothes, and then they had to wash the vegetables with cold water. The money they earned might not be enough to treat the frostbite, and they had to suffer for a whole winter in vain.

The old lady saw that she was not very satisfied with the job, and in her heart she thought she was too picky, but she didn't say much and went out to find Doctor Ma to pay the fee.

At this time, Chef Wang from Tianxianglou came in rubbing his neck. The old lady saw him and said with a smile: "I was just talking about your Tianxianglou with Doctor Xiao Song, and you came. What a coincidence."

"What are you talking about our Tianxianglou?" Chef Wang was very confused. Tianxianglou was the best restaurant in Qingshui County. Ordinary people would never go there to eat. If he remembered correctly, the new young doctor in the clinic had never been to their Tianxianglou.

"One of Doctor Song's sisters wanted to find a job in the city. I thought a girl in her teens couldn't do heavy work and could only wash dishes and vegetables. Doctor Song was a little hesitant, probably because she was worried about freezing her hands.

Chef Wang, tell me, do all the restaurants in the city use cold water to wash vegetables? I didn't lie to her."

Chef Wang nodded and said, "It's getting colder now, firewood is very expensive, and we can only use cold water to wash our hands."

Song Ying was speechless listening inside and felt that this lady was going too far. Employment and being employed are a matter of mutual consent. If there is no agreement, then there is no agreement. Why is she still talking about it everywhere?

She packed up the silver needles, but did not rush out. Instead, she simply sat down in the house to avoid being pulled aside and scolded by the old lady if she went out.

The old lady talked for a long time before leaving with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

Song Ying rubbed his rumbling stomach and went out with the silver needle.

After being held back by the lady and talking for a while, Chef Wang finally had the opportunity to explain what he was treating: "Doctor Ma, my neck is stiff and painful again. Please give me another acupuncture."

A woman sitting on a bench nearby hurriedly said, "Doctor Ma, you have to see me first. I live in Guoxiang. If I don't see the patient and rush home, I'll have to travel in the dark!"

"Are you from Guoxiang?" The old woman whose pulse was felt by Doctor Ma was surprised. "Young man, you can't cut in line. You have to let others see you first. Guoxiang is far away."
