Xiang Nan used the excuse of changing Feng Shui to carry out extensive construction work in the house, and eventually dug a basement five meters deep and two hundred meters in area.
Seeing this basement, Xiaodouzi and Juxian didn't understand why.
Xiang Nan didn’t explain too much, just like ants moving, moving storable goods inside little by little.
Such as kerosene, candles, charcoal, soap, salt, honey, ham, canned food, bacon, dried vegetables, Pu'er, dried mushrooms, silk, cotton, etc.
After his unremitting transportation, the huge basement was almost full. It was estimated that even if the great famine came, the three of them could live safely for several years with these stocks.
…
At the same time that Xiang Nan was carrying out construction projects, Xiaodouzi also went to school in Macau.
He went to a church school called St. Joseph's Secondary School.
The school was originally built in Guangdong. Later, due to the war, the school moved to Macau. It is an old middle school with good teaching quality and public reputation.
As for Juxian, he has been studying with Xiang Nanxue for more than half a year. But unfortunately she is too old and it is no longer convenient for her to go to school.
Otherwise, Xiang Nan is willing to send her to school so that she can make more friends.
…
Xiang Nan is busy with things at home and things outside.
He plans to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Macau to treat diseases in the clinic.
First of all, he can become famous by sitting in the hall and treating diseases, and fame is a talisman for him;
Secondly, sitting in the hall to treat diseases is also a matter of accumulating merit. Otherwise, it is really not Xiang Nan's character to have no serious things to do, not to do his job every day, and to wander around.
Soon he opened a pharmacy called Zhengdetang on Bilila Street, Macau.
The word "Zhengde" comes from "Shangshu Dayu Mo", which means "Zhengde, utilization, welfare and harmony".
Xiang Nan sat in the hall to diagnose diseases in person, while Juxian helped him and learned medical skills from him.
"Brother, you know how to do Chinese medicine, can you? Stop killing people." Xiaodouzi smiled.
"Nonsense. Senior brother is half-immortal and has many abilities. You have seen none of them even 100%." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said.
And it is said that there is no oil and salt store that is not open. Soon Zhengde Hall welcomed its first patient.
But as soon as he entered the door, he was stunned when he saw Xiang Nan sitting in the clinic, and then subconsciously walked out.
Because Xiang Nan is too young, just a little kid. At such a young age, I'm afraid he hasn't even become a disciple yet. No matter how brave he is, he doesn't dare to let him see a doctor.
"Sir, please stay." Xiang Nan saw this and said, "If you can see well below, you must have stomachache and diarrhea, right?"
When the patient heard this, he immediately stopped.
What Xiang Nan said is exactly the symptom.
He had stomach pain, vomiting, and severe diarrhea. He had gone to the toilet six times from morning to noon and was almost exhausted, so he came to see a doctor.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan had already noticed it before he even mentioned his condition.
From this point of view, this little doctor is quite virtuous.
"It doesn't matter." Xiang Nan said, took out the silver needle and pricked several acupuncture points on his body. The patient's raging urge to **** suddenly disappeared, and the overwhelming abdominal pain was also stopped at once.
The patient was stunned. He didn't expect that Xiang Nan's medical skills were so good. With just a few injections, his abdominal pain and diarrhea were stopped. It was amazing.
Xiang Nan then felt his pulse and found out that he had eaten uncleanly and bacteria had infected his gastrointestinal tract, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea.
In ancient times, diarrhea could kill people. Because diarrhea can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, acidosis, hypoglycemia, arrhythmia, cerebral myocardial infarction and other diseases, there was an old saying at that time, "A good man cannot stand three times."
After Xiang Nan checked the pulse, he immediately ordered Juxian to prepare and decoct the medicine.
Soon Juxian boiled the medicine, and Xiang Nan asked the patient to drink it while it was hot.
Within a quarter of an hour, the patient felt a warm current surge in his lower abdomen, which made him feel very comfortable.
Xiang Nan then took off the silver needle, and the patient felt that his stomach pain was gradually disappearing, and he no longer wanted to run to the toilet.
This made him overjoyed and he repeatedly said, "Doctor, you are a real person and don't show your face. I didn't expect that your medical skills are really brilliant."
He originally thought that Xiang Nan was young and had low medical skills. Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan is a real person and does not show his face. This medicine cured his stomachache and diarrhea. It was really amazing.
Xiang Nan smiled. With his medical skills, it was easy to cure diarrhea.
“Remember from now on, drink less raw water and eat less raw and cold food.” He warned.
"Okay, I've written it down. This is the consultation fee. Thank you, thank you." The patient said with admiration.
…
In the following period, Xiang Nan cured many patients, and word of mouth gradually spread.
Soon people knew that although Dr. Duan of Zhengde Hall was young, he had superb medical skills, so more and more people came to him for treatment.
Xiang Nan's medical skills are indeed superb. Not to mention minor problems such as colds, fevers, and stomachaches, he can treat even tuberculosis, intestinal carbuncle, leprosy, back gangrene, etc., which are considered terminal illnesses.
As a result, more and more patients were cured, and his reputation became more and more popular. Within two years, everyone in the province, Hong Kong and Macao knew the name of the miracle doctor Duan Zhengde.
As his fame increased, Xiang Nan's status in Macau naturally increased.
Local officials, wealthy businessmen, landlords and other prominent figures are all willing to associate with Xiang Nan.
After all, if people eat whole grains, they will never get sick. It is inevitable to have colds, fevers, headaches and brain fever. And the richer people are, the more they are afraid of death.
Xiang Nan’s medical skills are so superb that they are naturally happy to interact with him. When the time comes, being able to save their lives is more important than anything else.
Furthermore, seeing that Xiang Nan was young, talented, and wealthy, but had not yet gotten married and had children, many people began to have ideas about him. Several local gentry were willing to marry Xiang Nan.
But Heng Nan was very respectful and insensitive, saying that although he was not married, he was already engaged. Now that I am still young, I will get married in two years.
Seeing him say this, everyone had no choice but to give it up.
At that time, although the "Qing Law" was implemented in Macao and concubines were allowed, the daughters of gentry families could only be the first wife and could never be concubines.
The reason why Xiang Nan did not marry their daughter was not because he wanted to be as protective of Juxian as jade.
It’s just that the population of Macau at that time was only a few hundred thousand. Those gentry sounded like they had a high status, but in fact they were just wealthy households in a small town. In terms of wealth, power and status, they were not very good.
Even if Xiang Nan forms a marriage, he will not find them.
