Chapter 189 Cooperation

's always a simpleton, don't lower yourself to her level. This goat is for feeding the little girl, no one in the house can touch it, you can rest assured."Li Jia Yin saw everyone had forgotten she wa...There's another surprise that has everyone talking, and it's about Zhang Lao Shenyi.

The old man was quite lively. He usually lived with six others, including Uncle Zhao, and the Li family took good care of him, providing for his meals and clothing. When he had nothing to do, he liked to stroll around the valley.

Occasionally, the old man would also bathe with the guests, happily chattering about the benefits of soaking in hot springs, subtly promoting his family's business.

Guests knew he was a doctor, but no one took him seriously.

As a result, that day, more than ten men were sitting in the pond, soaking in the bath, drinking tea, and boasting. Things were really lively when they were at their peak.

Suddenly, a portly man with large ears, his limbs twitching and teeth clenched tight, slid directly into the pond water, creating ripples.

Everyone was startled and exclaimed in unison, "Help! Someone, come help!"

Just then, Zhang the Divine Healer, with a cloth draped over his head, was taking a nap half-submerged in the hot springs.

Hearing the sound, he pulled the cloth and rushed forward to pick up the man. He shouted at the crowd, "What are you shouting for Hurry up and help me!"

Everyone rushed to help, carrying the person ashore.

"Master Divine Physician, what should we do" Jia Anjia Xi ran forward and asked.

"Under my clothes, there's a needle pack, hand it over." Zhang the Divine Physician then pulled out a wooden stick, pried open the man's mouth and thrust it in.

When the man's belly was pressed, pond water was vomited out, but his hands and feet were still clenched tightly!

Someone said, "Look at this ailment, it seems like rabies! This disease is hard to cure, and if not treated properly, it could be fatal."

When word got out that someone was going to die, a crowd gathered around, making way for themselves with a commotion.

Chang the divine physician couldn't help but sneer, "Look at you lot, scared witless by a mere case of sheep epilepsy"

Having said that, he took the needle case handed over by his family and stitched it for dozens of times.

To say it was magical, but after just a few breaths, the man who had been ill loosened his hands and feet, showing that he felt much lighter.

Everyone was shocked and stared wide-eyed. After a cup of tea, the stick in the man's mouth clattered to the ground, and he came to his senses.

He stared blankly at the crowd, and when he realized he was ill, he struggled to sit up.

The little servant who had followed him over originally went back to get some snacks. At this moment, he was so scared that he crawled forward, crying and rushing up to support his master, "Woooo, Master, let's go home right now!"

The man simply waved his hands and wiggled his arms and legs, then knelt down before Zhang Shenyi.

"Grandfather, was it you who saved me Thank you so much for saving my life."

The venerable doctor Zhang slowly withdrew the silver needles, without looking at him, and said, “Don’t you know what’s wrong with you Have you been drinking too much lately, eating greasy food, or overworking yourself”

The man didn't respond, so the servant nodded frantically. "Our master had some wine this morning and ate a hoof-jelly, then he came here."

Zhang Shenyi rolled his eyes. "If you're tired of living, go ahead and keep eating like this. This time you ran into me, and you can still get away with it, but next time, be prepared to face the consequences."

The man was sweating profusely. He hadn't had an attack for a year or two, so he forgot to avoid certain foods. He didn't expect that today he almost lost his life.

"Divine Doctor, Divine Doctor! I will definitely be more careful next time and never do this again. Please, Divine Doctor, prescribe me some medicine and save me. I still have an eighty-year-old mother and two unmarried sons at home!"

The servant girl also knelt down and pleaded together, her eyes full of hope. To be able to make the servants so devoted, it shows that this man was a good person in his daily life.

Zhang Shenyi thought for a moment, then said, "You rest first. Eat some light food at noon. I'll write a prescription for you. Come back in five days to change the prescription. After that, control your emotions and don't get too excited or upset. Then there shouldn't be any more problems."

The man immediately agreed and even chased the servant to the valley entrance to continue paying the deposit. He didn't return home, but intended to stay in the valley for five days.

But the wooden houses and courtyards in the valley were all booked, he couldn't continue to live there, so he had no choice but to move to Da Huai Tree Village, the nearest village.

Five days later, he took the new prescription and left a hefty sum for consultation fees before heading home.

There were lively guests who specially sent someone to visit him. Those familiar with the man also went to his house to inquire about him.

One doesn't need to hear what he has to say, just look at his rosy complexion, it's much better than before.

Thus, Suijin Tan's reputation as a divine physician spread far and wide.

Wealthy families even built yards in the valleys, staying for five or six days just to have Zhang Shenyi help them check their pulse for peace and safety.

Even ordinary guests feel at ease, after all, there's a divine doctor here. If something unexpected happens here, there's no need to worry about not being saved.

The Divine Physician Zhang strolled around every day, not doing any work. He only moved a few needles and made Broken Gold Beach even more popular.

A craftsman can always find a meal wherever he goes. This sentence is tailor-made for the old man.

Wealthy families are generous and give substantial consultation fees. Occasionally, even if a prescription is just written, the fee doubles.

The villagers were envious and delighted, even more willing for their children to learn from the divine physician Zhang, no matter what skills they could learn, even if it was just animal husbandry.

Even on the way to Jiangnan, when he was originally going over mountains and through valleys, there were young boys helping the old man with tasks like gathering medicine and decocting it. Now that he hasn't apprenticed himself, he's still considered the old man's medicine boy.

Often, the old man would walk ahead, followed by several young apprentices, looking quite impressive. This made the villagers laugh with amusement.

There are three hundred and sixty lines of work, any line done well is enough to support a family.

The villagers didn't necessarily have the expectation that their children should go to school. After all, not every child was as talented and diligent as Jiah Ren.

As long as the child can write and calculate, learning a skill will be useful to the village, then life in the future will be alright.

Thus, after half a month of hustle and bustle, the whole village finally managed to straighten out all its affairs, and everyone became familiar with their own livelihoods.

This evening, the village head and Li Laoer announced all the work points for the livelihoods.

The village head and Lao Li are the backbone of everyone, holding ten full work points.

Tao Hongying was in charge of logistics for the Hot Spring Valley, Li Laosì was responsible for managing the two mountaintops, and Liu Biāotóu was responsible for patrols and night watch in the valley, village, and riverside areas. All three of them received nine work points.

All the young and able-bodied men in the rest of the village who did physical labor received eight work points. If they helped with patrol duty in the evening, they would get extra work points added on.

The women and young men working in the rear logistics of the mountain valley are awarded six work points, among whom Jia Huan, who has learned most of the cooking skills on the stove, is responsible for the meals, so he is given an extra point.

The remaining patrol and watchmen, whether elders like Uncle Zhao or young and middle-aged people who took time out, were all awarded five work points. As for the specific number of personnel, Liu Diao Tou (Head of the鏢局) would decide.

In the end, even the orphaned children in the village were gathered together. They were usually looked after by two elderly people separately, and tasks such as cleaning the streets and clearing debris in the valley were also assigned. All these tasks were divided into four work quotas.

Of course, if there are urgent matters requiring temporary manpower adjustments or changes in tasks, the village head and Li Laoer will determine the work shares.

And everywhere, the work points of those who go to work every day are recorded by their captains, and they also need to find them if they want to take leave.

Making mistakes or disobeying rules will also result in a deduction of work points. If it's serious, the whole village will hold a meeting and drive the person out!ing the chubby girl's nose. "Your adoptive father always said you were clever, and I didn't believe him until now! With just one word, you managed to lure away the best pastry chef in the palace!"Jia...
