Fujino no Orchid is smart and studious, and she can remember it as long as Ura no Tao tells it once. After following her out of the city for a few days, she has already gotten to know a lot of medicinal herbs.

After returning home, Alayanzong gave her a test. She could tell the rhizome, leaf shape, color, taste, and various properties of almost every medicinal herb. She could even tell a story about what diseases it can be used to treat.

.

Fujino Seiki urged her to go out and find work, but she wanted to stay and help Alayanzong, saying that she liked playing with herbs.

Seeing the brother and sister arguing, Alayanzong came to persuade: "Since she is willing to help, just stay!"

Fujino no Orchid was naturally elated. Fujino Kiyoshi had always pampered her and had no choice but to let her do what he wanted.

Ula Zhitao and the other three no longer go out to cut grass and collect herbs. During this period, they have saved enough hay for three horses to feed them for a month or two.

The collected herbs needed to be dried, and some were already dried, so the three of them sorted and classified them.

Alayanzong found some old fabrics from Bailey Changfeng. Ula Zhitao and Fujino Zhiran washed them, cut them and sewed them, and made many small cloth bags.

Ula Zhitao discovered that Fujino Zhiran's nemesis was better than her, her stitches were even and dense, and she was quick with her hands. She sighed to herself that she was not as good as her, and secretly studied harder.

Waiter Anla used his kitchen knife skills and specially sharpened the kitchen knife to chop the herbs.

Ula's Tao and Fujino's Orchid put the cut herbs into cloth bags, and Alayanzong wrote the names of the herbs on the cloth bags, which they affixed to the bags for easy search.

I went to Bailey Changfeng and borrowed a few more Eight Immortals tables, moved them into the west wing, put the medicine bags on them and arranged them together.

Seeing these results, several people felt that they had made extraordinary achievements and were very satisfied with their work, so they boasted about themselves.

Allah's waiter took two stones that he had found in the mountains in advance, chipped and ground them, and made a stone nest and pestle for pounding medicine.

After that, Allah's waiter went to several markets and found a small scale that could be used to weigh medicine. He also brought news that he had found a wholesale herb shop in the south of the city with many varieties. This made Alayan

Zong is very excited and can go there to purchase in the future.

Everything is ready.

Ula Zhitao and Fujino Zhiran specialize in picking up medicine and weighing it, and Allah's waiter is responsible for pounding medicine and sometimes decoction for patients. Of course, he has to find time to take care of the three horses, and he also has to eat three meals a day.

worry.

Ala Yanzong can now concentrate on diagnosis and treatment, saving a lot of time in finding medicines and running errands. The efficiency of diagnosis and treatment has been improved, and the waiting time of patients has been shortened.

Even so, Ula Zhitao and the other three were very busy. Fujino Zhilan was quite diligent, and would bring Alayanzong a cup of hot tea when taking medicine. This moved Alayanzong a little, and he said

Since the free clinic, he has never drank hot water under the willow tree.

Of course, Fujino no Orchid is a passionate and unrestrained person. In addition to giving tea to Ala Yanzong first, he will also offer a cup to Ula no Tao and Anla Xiaoer.

This made the two of them drink it until it warmed their mouths and warmed their hearts, making them more energetic when working. The waiter Anla kept telling funny stories, making the two beauties laugh non-stop.

It seems that everything is on track, every day, over and over again. Although I am busy, I live a happy and fulfilling life.

Due to the large number of patients, a large amount of medicinal herbs was used. Within a few days, some of the varieties of self-picked medicinal herbs had been exhausted.

If you go to pick the medicine, there will definitely be a gap period. Many patients cannot take medicine in time and have to go to other pharmacies to get medicine, which will cost the patients more money.

Ala Yanzong wrote a medicine list and asked Allah's servant to ride to the market he knew to wholesale the medicinal materials.

The medicinal herbs were bought, and Ala Yanzong found that he also spent a lot of silver coins. Although he still had some on him, Allah's waiter also saved some silver coins, and there was also the reward that Nanfu was expected to give. Even so, these

It won't take long for a silver tael.

If you don't have any money, not only will it be difficult to carry out free clinics, but even the food and drink expenses for a few people will be a problem.

Ala Yanzong talked about this at the dinner table, and Fujino Qingqi said with some shame: "I just work hard and earn too little money, so I can barely maintain the lives of our brothers and sisters. Now that I live here, I still have money from you."

The few copper coins I have in my hand can at best be enough for the two of them to spend their daily pocket money, but they cannot afford to add more to the scale."

Wula Zhitao put forward her own opinion, "We are very busy every day, but we are getting poorer and poorer. Although your idea of ​​​​free clinic is noble, it will work for a while, but it will definitely not last long."

Waiter Anla was usually busy with his work and had no idea about this kind of thing, but now his mouth was silent.

Seeing what her brother said, Fujino no Ran felt like a freeloader, but she really couldn't think of any clever tricks. However, as long as she could be busy with Ala Yanzong every day, even if her hands and feet were not touching the ground,

She felt very satisfied and happy when she ran to Xidian'er.

Ala Yanzong, who is usually very smart, is actually a little confused now. He begins to doubt that he is wrong to open a clinic to provide free clinics to help poor people. Is it inappropriate? Is it inappropriate?

In the past few days, since the three Wula Zhitao people started to help, Alayanzong discovered that Nanfu Zhizhi had come twice. Each time, he came with some silver coins, and he was still smiling, saying that he was giving rewards to Alayanzong.

, but it is clear that it is divided proportionally.

Alayanzong discovered a problem, the silver coins were getting less and less. After some reflection, Alayanzong suddenly understood that most of the patients got medicine from him, while fewer people went to Nanfu Hope to get medicine. Naturally,

The income from his drug store has also been reduced a lot. The share he mentioned will naturally be reduced accordingly.

Ala Yanzong suddenly felt that he was caught in a contradiction.

If you want to treat more patients and help more poor people get rid of their pain, you need to prepare more medicinal materials.

If they had to rely on Ula Peach to pick this medicinal material, the efficiency would be too low and they would not be available for use at all. If they were to purchase it, they would need a certain amount of financial support. But they could not make ends meet every day, and one day they would eventually run out of money.

.

If you want to get more money from Nanfu Hope, you have to let patients go to him to get medicine more often. If this is the case, it will increase the financial burden on patients. This goes against the original intention of helping poor patients.

Alayanzong could not solve this knot even after thinking about it.

One morning, there were relatively few patients, and a large number of people had not yet come. After watching the last one, Pele came to Alayanzong with a smile on his face, dragging his broom.

Ala Yanzong quickly gave up his seat, handed over a cup of tea, and said: "Old Bailey, I have been busy recently and haven't chatted with you for a while."

Bailey Changfeng nodded and said: "I have seen everything my little brother has done. I deeply admire your approach of helping those in need. Your future life is formidable!"

Ala Yanzong sighed, "Oh! Don't make fun of me, old man. I'm in trouble now and I'm very confused. I hope I can give you some advice."

So, he told Bailey about his financial difficulties and his original intentions, and asked Bailey Changfeng to take his pulse.

Bailey laughed and said, "I shouldn't have asked. I don't know what my financial strength is. Free medical clinics for the people are a good deed. Without a certain amount of wealth, it is difficult to sustain it for a long time. But it is difficult to do it on a whim.

persist in.

"Have you ever thought about it? Although your approach is noble, it destroys the balance between doctors and patients. Your medical treatment and medicine are free here, and more and more patients will come. Those clinics that charge fees will not go to the doctor-patient balance.

Their illnesses will decrease, their income will decrease, and their lives will become increasingly difficult.

"If things continue like this, what will they eat? Don't forget, they still have families. The clinics and pharmacies in Qiaolu West Bird City will close down. Have you ever thought about this?"

When Alayanzong heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't harm another group of people just because he saved one group of people! He said hurriedly: "What the old man said is indeed reasonable. I didn't expect it to be so serious. Then what will I do?"

Is good?"

Bailey smoothed his beard under his chin and smiled, "It's a fee! You can diagnose the disease for free, but you still have to pay for the medicine. In this way, no matter where the patient gets the medicine, he has to pay the price, which is fair.

.We should not affect others’ ability to live just because they are poor. For patients who really cannot afford to buy herbal medicines, we can give them exemptions and exemptions, but those who can afford it will still have to pay for it. Remember, aiding emergencies does not help the poor.”

Bailey Changfeng said, picked up his broom and continued sweeping the floor.
