Chapter 49: Plan Ahead
Yuan Fang asked the coachman to turn around, and went back to the stone yard to find the steward, wanting to return the money, but this thing is not easy to ask for, and no one wants to return the money in hand, Yuan Fang said that the steward's iron heart is the same as not letting go, and in the end there is really no way, and he paid some money, and replaced the bluestone ordered before with a granite slab similar to marble but much cheaper. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yuan Fang saw that the polished granite was not much worse than the appearance of marble, and the price, but he didn't know why it was much cheaper, so Yuan Fang decided to use granite floor tiles to pave the ground of the new house, so that the original small amount of silver suddenly shrank by half, and Yuan Fang's flesh hurt so much that he almost foamed at the mouth.
Originally, Yuan Fang planned to wait and say that he saw the green bricks just now, and Yuan Fang also planned to use the green bricks to pave the ground, but the previous deposit was killed and not returned, and Yuan Fang had no choice but to do so, otherwise those deposits would be wasted.
Walking back in the carriage, along the way, Yuan Fang was like a small trader who had been robbed of a tricycle by the city management, with a sad face, sighing vigorously, Xiaomei felt that it was her responsibility, and sat on the side with a guilty face.
Xiaomei was sullen, Yuan Fang returned to a smile and comforted: "Xiaomei, this is not a bad thing for you, anyway, I also plan to get some good floor tiles, this granite is much cheaper than marble, and the effect is stronger than green bricks, just one time to solve it." Xiaomei heard Yuan Fang say this, and her face looked a little better.
When I returned to Phantom Feather City, it was almost dark, and I inquired with the coachman to find out that the brick kilns outside the city also had shops in the city, but not in the east of the city, but in the south of the city.
Yuan Fang and the three of them went to the south of the city again, and ordered a batch of green bricks without much silver, and said to the shopkeeper that they would send someone to the hospital early tomorrow morning and start work in the afternoon.
On the way back, Yuan Fang thought that Xiaomei said last night that the winter here is very cold, and it is generally heated by a charcoal stove, Yuan Fang touched the little silver left in the money bag, and decided to come to the blacksmith Zhao to make some iron pipes, elbows or something to get an earthen heater out, but Zhao blacksmith shook his head after listening to Yuan Fang's description, metal pipes, this world has, most of them are copper pipes, they are all poured, Zhao blacksmith has never done those, and there are no grinding tools, but also the thread at the joint infinite heart plug, In other words, he couldn't do it.
Returning to the hospital with a little disappointment, Da Mei heated up the meal, and a few people ate a bite casually, Yuan Fangzheng wanted to go back to the room to think about the next plan, and was pulled to the consultation room by Qin Cao.
Qin Cao took a sip of tea, and wanted to speak several times as if he was asking for a debt from a good friend, Yuan Fang really couldn't stand it anymore: "Brother Qin, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, what else do we have to scruple about." ”
Qin Cao thought for a long time and said: "Senior brother, I heard that you bought a lot of things today, it is said that you want to pave the floor, you said this yesterday, I also think it is very reasonable, but what about it, you also spent a lot of money doing this, isn't it?" ”
Yuan Fang probably understood what Qin Cao meant, Qin Cao should have felt that he had spent too much money, and it was basically used in the medical hall, so he was a little uneasy in his heart, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Qin, there is a saying that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and I am doing this for the sake of the future." ”
Qin Cao hesitated and said, "What you said makes sense, but you have also seen the situation in the medical hall, with so much silver, I don't know when I will be able to earn it back." ”
Yuan Fang smiled dumbly, it turned out that Qin Cao also had times when he was worried about money, but Yuan Fang was not worried at all, and said confidently: "Don't worry, Brother Qin, the money spent now will be doubled sooner or later." Let's put it this way, if the man who was sick yesterday was a rich man, do you think we saved his life when he was desperate and waiting to die, how much would he have to pay for the consultation? Brother Qin, don't think about it too much, I'm just making an analogy, and I don't mean to ask Yan Dutou for money. ”
Qin Cao thought for a while: "Under normal circumstances, it should give a lot, especially this terminal illness." ”
Yuan Fang asked in a different way: "Brother Qin, what is the most consultation fee you have received before?" ”
Qin Cao was stunned for a moment, recalled for a moment and said: "The most time, it should be four years ago, it was a rich businessman who gave two taels of silver for the consultation. ”
Yuan Fang pursed his lips, feeling that the so-called rich businessman was too picky: "You said that if that rich businessman also suffers from appendicitis, let's go through surgery to save people like yesterday, how much do you think he can give?" ”
Qin Cao frowned, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, it's the first time I've seen such a way, and others estimate that it's about the same." ”
Yuan Fang smiled wickedly, crossed his fingers and said, "Then I'll calculate it for you, first of all, how much does the wear and tear of the top surgical tools have to be charged?" Absorbent gauze and cotton balls are all disposable consumables, and you have to charge money, right? You have to charge money for the disinfection of all tools, right? There are also Brother Qin's anesthetics and decoctions, which can't be given away for free, right? There is also labor, so many of us have been busy for so long, can't we work in vain? These have a cost, they must be charged, and all of them add up, how much do you think should be charged? ”
Qin Cao was stunned, if according to what Yuan Fang said, it would be a lot of money, especially the labor cost of the operation (let's call it so for the time being), there is no standard to measure, that is, more is more, less is less, it is all based on conscience, there is no fixed number.
Qin Cao didn't speak, Yuan Fang said with a smile: "Let's say so, it doesn't take much, as long as you meet a rich patient, almost all the previous investments can be earned." ”
Yuan Fang thinks so, anyway, there is no price bureau or anything like that in this world, his alternative medical skills are unique, and he doesn't just offer his own price? Of course, when encountering a poor person, Yuan Fang will not see death without help, but when he encounters those ruthless slaughterers who are rich and unkind, there is no absolute negotiation, life is yours, money is also yours, and it seems that it is not difficult to choose whether to ask for money or life.
Thinking of a bright future, Yuan Fang's eyes lit up and asked, "Brother Qin, are there many patients who get colic every year?" ”
Qin Cao thought about it and said: "It's not a lot, there will be some every year, there was no way before, but now it's okay, the operation of the junior brother can save the lives of many people." ”
Yuan Fang smiled, and smiled very obscenely: "You said that if these people come to us for treatment, are you afraid that you won't be able to recover the cost?" ”
Qin Cao thought about it a little more and reminded: "Senior brother, didn't you say that the operation is very risky, and it will also kill people?" Have you ever thought about what happens if a patient dies? ”
Since Yuan Fang plans to practice medicine, he has naturally considered these: "I have thought about this, explain the risks to the patient before the operation, sign the exemption document in advance and then carry out the operation, the operation is successful, the consultation fee will naturally be collected, and we will not take a penny once it fails, so as to dispel the patient's scruples." Also, I did all this for a better hygienic environment, as long as the sanitary conditions are good, the chance of postoperative infection is small, even if the infection is not too serious, with the help of Brother Qin's decoction, there should not be that kind of situation. By the way, I'm thinking about a medicine that specifically targets inflammation such as infections, and if it can be successful, then even if the infection is severe, it is not incurable. ”
Qin Cao nodded slightly perfunctorily while listening, until finally Yuan Fang talked about the new medicine, Qin Cao's eyes lit up: "Senior brother, how did you study the medicine you said?" Is it really as easy as you say it can heal wounds and festers? ”
Yuan Fang shrugged: "It's just a little eyebrow, and it will take a little time." ”
Qin Cao was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, of course it was impossible to get such a magical medicine casually, and then he was relieved: "Senior brother, if there is something I can help, you can just ask, collect medicine, test medicine, etc., I think I still have some ability." ”
Yuan Fang nodded and chuckled: "Cheng, when the time comes, it is indispensable to ask Brother Qin for help." ”
After chatting for a while, it can be regarded as completely dispelling Qin Cao's concerns, Yuan Fang returned to the room, lay on the bed, and before he had time to plan his next things, a wave of tiredness hit him, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Yang Xing originally wanted to talk to Yuan Fang, but when he heard Yuan Fang's snoring, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, clapped his hands, hugged his big head to bed and teased him for a while, and one person and one dog also fell asleep one after another.
Early the next morning, Yuan Fang was woken up by the noise outside, and when he went out, it turned out that it was the stone yard and the brick factory that had delivered the goods, and there was a big pile in the backyard.
Just after noon, the workers of the brick kiln and the stone quarry arrived as scheduled and began to re-lay the ground according to Yuan Fang's request.
Yuan Fang looked at it for a while, and was very satisfied with the craftsmanship of the workers, in the new house, the gap of the granite floor tiles is very small, and the adhesive is also used called Jintang, which is an adhesive made of lime, glutinous rice juice, kiwi juice, tung oil, pig blood, and hemp knife (fine broken hemp rope), the cost is very high, and the effect is said to be no worse than cement.
The effect of green brick paving in the yard is also good, in order to reduce dust, a kind of adhesive called plaster is also used, the effect of plaster is not as good as Jintang, but it has the characteristics of fire resistance, wear resistance, breathing, and humidity, and it is also a very good material to make a green brick adhesive on the ground.
Yuan Fang's money was well spent, and the merchants were naturally not stingy, all the best materials were used, and the workers sent were also the best craftsmen in their place.
handed over the balance of the two families to Da Mei, and after the completion of the settlement, the foreman was settled, Yuan Fang's money bag only had a few hundred yuan left, and he sighed and went to see Yan Xiong's recovery.
Yan Xiong is in the prime of life in his forties, and he is also young and strong, and his recovery ability is quite good, it is said that he was ventilated early this morning, and now he can drink some rice soup and other things, Yan Xiong's spirit is very good, and the smiles on the faces of the family of three are getting stronger and stronger.
After chatting with Yan Xiong for a while, Yuan Fang said goodbye and left, and when he went out of the gate, Yuan Fang sighed again, Ren Fei's silver had not been returned, and the money he borrowed from Yang Xing had been spent, and there were still a lot of things to do, Yuan Fang hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth and walked towards the Zhiyuan Dart Bureau.
Yuan Fang can also be regarded as an acquaintance of the dart game, and came directly to the hall, Mo Zhiyuan and his family were eating, and when they saw Yuan Fang coming, they hurriedly greeted him.
Yuan Fang was not polite, said hello to Xin Huilan and Jiang Chengjia, and quarreled with Mingjie, Wen Yue, and Wen Fang for a while, then took a sip of the wine glass and said, "Yo, the food is good, so many delicious food." ”
Xin Huilan smiled: "Doctor Yuan will eat more if he likes it." ”
Mingjie grabbed a chicken leg and threw it in Yuan Fang's bowl, and said like a treasure: "Uncle Yuan eats this, it's delicious." ”
Yuan Fang touched Mingjie's little head and praised it: "It's interesting enough." ”
Mingjie couldn't close his mouth with a smile: "Damn, of course." Yuan Fang was suddenly full of black lines.
Qin Huilan glared at Yuan Fang with disgust, crying and laughing.
Yuan Fang was indeed hungry, and after a few bites of chicken legs, Wen Yue and Wen Fang glanced at each other: "I'll take it, Uncle Yuan is getting more and more able to eat." "Yuan Fang is absolutely down.
Mo Zhiyuan's face was full of red light, and he said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, I was going to see you in the hospital tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come first." ”
Yuan Fang poured a glass of wine and looked at Qin Huilan and Jiang Chengjia: "When did the two sisters-in-law arrive?" ”
Xin Huilan didn't treat Yuan Fang as an outsider, and smiled generously and said, "It's been a few days, and there have been a lot of things during this time, so I didn't go over to see you." ”
