Chapter 144 Woven Straw Sandals
After the patients in Chashu Village repeatedly confirmed that Feng Bei'er did not charge for medical treatment, they half-convincedly lifted up their sleeves and trouser legs and pointed at their hands and feet and said they hurt too much.
Feng Bei'er didn't feel their pulse, so he knew what was going on by looking at their expressions. He reached out and pinched to find the pain points. When they started to cry, he took out the accompanying needles and applied needles to the pain points, and applied needles to other locations according to the actual situation.
"Yingchun, when you perform acupuncture in the future, don't just focus on the painful points. Use multiple acupuncture points to assist. The effect will be better."
"Master, I remember!" Leng Yingchun listened carefully and looked at her clumsy hands. She really wanted to know who would be so lucky to be the first white mouse she gave acupuncture to.
Those patients first felt a tingling sensation in their body, followed by numbness in their hands and feet, as if there was power to clear the surrounding blockage. After waiting for a while, they suddenly felt that their bodies were much lighter.
"Doctor, what do you think is wrong with us?" a patient asked.
"The moisture is too heavy, and it becomes blocked. If it cannot be cleared for a long time, it will naturally become more and more serious, and the pain will intensify. You like to lie down when you are in pain. After a long time, your body will deteriorate, and you will do nothing.
No."
Feng Beier noticed that the house was damp and saw the problem.
"You have to put up bed boards. It's time to move the kitchen. It's best if the walls are close to each room. The residual heat transferred from the wood-fired stove to the walls can dry the rooms."
"Otherwise, put a fire tray in the room from time to time to remove the moisture. Be sure to ventilate the room and avoid poisoning, so you won't get so many diseases." Leng Yingchun added.
"That will take a lot of work, but for the sake of health, we are willing to renovate it!" The villagers listened anyway, and they all said that the renovation work would be completed when the weather clears up.
The master and apprentice were busy until late at night and then returned to Li Zheng's home. With the help of Li Zheng's wife and daughter-in-law, they took a bath, put on clean clothes, and lay down together comfortably.
Because it is deep in the mountains, after it rains, water flows down the walls, spreads underground, and expands outwards. The floor becomes damp, and there is a musty smell in the air.
Feng Beier felt wet even when she was covered with a quilt, which she wasn't used to.
"Master, the light here is not obvious, and it is humid all year round, which is extremely harmful to people's health. No wonder many people can't walk when they reach the age of 18. It is really caused by the environment, and we can't help for long."
Leng Yingchun felt that no matter how high her medical skills were, her efforts would be in vain in the face of the environment.
"They have lived here for generations. Do you want them to leave? We are not going anywhere anyway. We just come to treat them every once in a while."
Feng Bei'er rested her head on her hands, thinking it would be nice to come here occasionally to breathe fresh air.
"My forties are the age when the labor force is strong, and my hands and feet suddenly become insensitive. It's a pity. When the rain stopped, I supervised them to cut down the nearby trees that were blocking the houses to let the sunlight in, and then renovated the houses.
Set up water channels around it, and if possible, get some lime as a desiccant to ensure that the house is dry, and people will feel much more relaxed."
Leng Yingchun already has a series of house renovation plans, but he just doesn’t know if the people in Tea Tree Village are willing to cooperate. @
"Your standards are too lenient. They are busy every day, so how can they have time to modify them?"
Feng Bei'er despised Leng Yingchun's whimsical ideas. After Leng Yingchun's reminder, she immediately opened her mind.
"Isn't it easy to keep the house dry? In addition to using the residual heat from the kitchen to dry it, you can also light candles, or stock up on charcoal or bamboo charcoal, and replace it from time to time."
"Bamboo charcoal, charcoal has the effect of absorbing water vapor, which is more practical than other methods. Why didn't I think of it?" Leng Yingchun sat up in surprise, "Master, you are better!"
"Of course, otherwise how can I be your master?" Feng Beier smiled, looking at the roof and listening to the weakening sound of rain outside, she became sad, "You think, at my age, can I still be happy?
"
She was worried that the swallow would have a lover outside. After all, what fool would wait for her for so long?
Leng Yingchun turned her head. She really didn't expect that the excellent Feng Bei'er would also feel a sense of age crisis. Thinking of Yan Zipiao's temper, he was definitely a good man, so he comforted her.
"You and the young master have a relationship. If we meet again, as long as nothing unexpected happens, we will definitely be an enviable couple."
.
"A man always puts his career first. If he leaves, I don't know if I can bear to lose him again, so I'm not ready to be with him yet..."
Feng Beier turned around and saw Leng Yingchun falling asleep. She secretly laughed at herself for worrying so much, closed her eyes and fell asleep slowly.
After dawn, Leng Yingchun was startled awake by a series of fierce bird calls.
She opened her eyes and listened outside the window. The rain was pounding against the thatch on the roof. The house seemed to be collapsing, and she suddenly felt unsafe.
The water droplets in the air have condensed so much that the breath is filled with moisture.
"The rain came so suddenly. It seemed like the rain that hadn't fallen in the past few months had been accumulated and poured down all at once."
Leng Yingchun became irritated, only to realize that her clothes were a little wet, and the quilt felt even more soggy, just like the plum rainy weather in the south.
"Don't we have to wait here for a few days?" Feng Beier yawned, "If I had known, I would have come back another day."
"Now that we've come, we'll settle down and treat ourselves as if we've come to Shuiliandong for a vacation!"
Leng Yingchun was rarely optimistic. The moment he put on his shoes, he wanted to die. The shoes were too wet.
"It would be great if there were slippers!" Leng Yingchun sighed, put it on bravely, and walked out.
When she opened the door, she saw the rainwater outside had accumulated in the pits in the yard, almost reaching the house.
The Li Zheng family, wearing raincoats and tattered bamboo hats, braved the rain to clean up the accumulated water.
"Miss Yingchun, the rain is too heavy. Don't come out. Just stay in the room. We will ask you to come out after we have taken care of it." Li Zheng said eagerly.
"Li Zheng, let me help!" Leng Yingchun was embarrassed to just sit back and enjoy the success, so he wanted to give his strength.
"No, no, you have cured so many patients in our Chashu Village. How can I ask you to help? Come in quickly, I will call you later." Li Zheng's wife pushed Leng Yingchun in and closed the door.
"Master, look at them, they don't even let me help sweep away the stagnant water!" Leng Yingchun was helpless.
She took off her shoes and sat on the bed, and saw piles of rice straw not far away. They looked old and were probably used to keep out the cold in winter.
She had an idea and wanted to weave straw sandals. If she succeeded in making straw sandals, she would not have to worry about rainy days.
She moved some rice straws, carefully thought about the scene of Leng Shengsheng weaving baskets, and started weaving bit by bit.
"Yingchun, what are you doing?" Feng Beier didn't understand what Leng Yingchun was doing.
"Knit straw sandals!" Leng Yingchun scratched her head. She didn't know what to do next.
Feng Beier looked at her and then at the shoes, then took the rice straws, kneaded a few rice straws into one, and then made two of the same three thick rice straws with one end knotted like braiding.
Braid it like a braid.
"I understand!" Leng Yingchun seemed to be enlightened and knitted like Feng Bei'er.
It took two people a long time to braid more than twenty rice straw braids.
Feng Beier took out her needle and thread, connected the rice straw braids tightly together, used her own feet as a measuring tool, formed the sole bit by bit, and then used needle and thread to sew the rice straw braids on top.
It took about two hours to make an ugly straw sandal.
Feng Bei'er tried it on and found it a little rough, but it didn't affect her wearing it. "Oh, these shoes are pretty good-looking, and I'm not afraid of them getting wet."
"Master, make another straw sandal and make a pair for me, so we can go out and swim in the water."
Leng Yingchun was very happy and admired Feng Bei'er's omnipotence.
"You have to do it yourself. We, as medical students, need to have skillful hands and be steady when pinching and inserting needles!" Feng Bei'er only cared about her own.
Leng Yingchun was eager to try it, so he braided straw and asked, "Master, I don't seem to have seen anyone selling straw sandals. Don't the people of Dayu country need them?"
From the history she knew, straw sandals existed very early, and even Liu Bei made a living selling straw sandals.
It makes no sense that there are no straw sandals in Dayu. These are very practical and much better than cloth shoes.
"There are very few places to grow rice in Dayu. The rice straws are used to make beds, and they are reluctant to take them out. And there are cloth shoes, who would consider straw shoes?" Feng Beier said indifferently.
.
"You said if we take the finished straw sandals back to show uncle, will he be able to make various patterns of shoes? If we put the shoes on the market, will we make a lot of money?" Leng
Welcome to the spring with wild imagination.
"Come again, didn't I tell you not to think about business all day long?" Feng Beier was almost desperate, "Can you calm down and study medical skills?"
"I'll try my best!" Leng Yingchun was speechless. @
She also needs to start a business so that she will have a steady stream of money and it will be easy to do whatever she wants.
Feng Beier calmed herself down and knitted straw sandals quietly.
Leng Yingchun always observed Feng Bei'er's demeanor, which caused the straw sandals she knitted to be very uneven. After she finished, she looked really ugly when she wore them.
Feng Bei'er compared the straw sandals she made with Leng Yingchun's, and she still looked better. However, she did not show her pride, but reminded Leng Yingchun seriously.
"Why is it my first time to make straw sandals, but I can do better than you? Is it talent? But no, I rely on concentration. Welcome to the Spring Festival. No matter what you do in the future, you must put yourself in the treatment of people's illnesses.
, if you don’t work hard, the patient will die at any time. In this state, you can handle everything properly."
Leng Yingchun benefited a lot, "Master, I understand!"
Feng Beier softened her tone, put on her straw sandals and went out.
Leng Yingchun also walked out. The water outside had almost been dealt with, and the family did not stop them from coming out.
"Li Zheng, I'm really sorry that we used your rice straw. Let's do this. When I go back, I will ask Aunt Su to bring you some rice straw." Leng Yingchun took the initiative to confess his mistake.
"It doesn't matter, those rice straws are almost useless!" Li Zheng was quite generous. When he saw the straw sandals on their feet, he couldn't help but be surprised, "These shoes..."
"I just tried it. It's waterproof and non-slip, ventilated and breathable. It's also tightly wrapped and doesn't expose your feet at all. It's very affordable! Also, if you wear wet shoes for a long time, you will not only have athlete's foot, but you will also be prone to cold.
, the cold comes from the soles of the feet!”
Leng Yingchun shook her feet. If it weren't for ancient people who couldn't let others see their feet, she would have turned into flip-flops.
"In this way, the new shoes are quite useful." Li Zheng looked at his wet shoes and suddenly had an idea, "In the Spring Festival, your family has a bumper rice harvest and you have a lot of rice stalks, so sell me three loads!
"
He felt that the gifts Leng Yingchun mentioned must be very few.
"I said I would give it to you, so of course I won't charge you for it." Leng Yingchun was very generous. "If you need more, I won't let Aunt Su bring it and let someone else bring it to you."
"Thank you so much!" Li Zheng just bowed and said thank you. He was also hoping that Chashu Village would have a good harvest of wheat. However, there were far from enough wheat seeds. He said this under Leng Yingchun's close gaze.
trouble.
Leng Yingchun wanted to take out the wheat from the jade ring immediately, but that was too risky, so she said she had met some wheat merchants from the north. He had some wheat there, and she would buy it from him in a few days and send it here.
