There is no rush to rub the lens by hand. It takes a month for Hooke to have experience. There is no need to think about getting results for a while.
Glass is still being improved, and some of the knowledge I read in the novel ends here. The light transmittance cannot be improved, and the compound microscope has temporarily stopped, and all single lenses are polished.
Things at the glass factory have come to an end, and time will do the rest.
Zheng Xiong returned to Huimin Pharmacy and lived a 9-to-5 idle life again. The production of alcohol was not high, the glass factory had no output, and the alcohol formula could not be sold. Fortunately, there was no major war in the world. The supply of disinfection can be maintained in Nanjing, but other places will not be able to do anything for a few days.
Papermaking is also in a hurry, and one project after another has no financial resources.
After receiving the journals, Huimin Pharmacies in various places responded to them in more letters. The distance between places varies greatly, and the time spent on the road also varies greatly. The release of the second issue of the journal will take some time.
The other businesses of Huimin Pharmacy have stabilized, and the pharmacy itself is very busy.
Not to mention the long queues on both sides of the street, the pharmacy's basic operations alone are not enough manpower. All six beds in two wards are occupied by caesarean sections, and there are many people waiting for seats.
Disinfectants and medicine dispensers crowded Huimin Pharmacy. As its reputation grew, people flocked to it. There were even patients with difficult and complicated diseases who came to ask for treatment.
This is really not possible. All the doctors know the level of the entire pharmacy, and they have to spend a lot of time to send the person away.
The sun was just right that day. Zheng Xiong was in the backyard warehouse, lying on a lounge chair basking in the sun. Li Si ran over and complained to Zheng Xiong.
"Sir, this day is too difficult. I can't bear it. There are people everywhere. These few people can't be busy during the day."
Youyou opened her eyes and saw Li Si, lying lazily on the recliner and saying.
"Lao Li, don't you work the night shift? Why are you here in broad daylight?"
"Back to your lord, Medical Officer Wu is taking a rest, and my subordinates will take turns with Old Wu for the past two days."
"Oh, if you don't have enough manpower, go ahead and recruit. Didn't I mention it to you at the end of last year? We will recruit thirty more people. Anyone who is familiar with them will recommend them. The treatment will be the same as yours. This month you will receive an extra half month's salary. That's it. A reward for you. The other three pharmacies are already under construction. It will be good if you are busy for a while."
"Yes, sir, I almost forgot about this."
Li Si patted his head and breathed a sigh of relief. He almost forgot about what he mentioned at the end of last year. There was no standard. He thought it was just Zheng Xiong who said it casually. Wu You didn't think of it and kept struggling.
"You're a little worse than Lao Wu. He hasn't complained for so many days. The night shift is too comfortable. Next month, you will start working the day shift, and Lao Wu will work the evening shift. From now on, they will take turns every month. . By the way, I will also take a bath tomorrow. It’s nothing serious, so don’t disturb me.”
Li Si didn't dare to defend himself. In this three-thirds of an acre of land, Zheng Xiong was the local emperor. With Zheng Xiong's many achievements, no one could shake his prestige. He could only say yes and retreat.
It was another day of fishing, and Zheng Xiong was in a good mood.
After returning home and having dinner, the whole family sat together to drink tea and eat. Zheng Xiong's cheap dad put down his tea cup and said.
"Xiong'er, after your vaccination with cowpox in the past few days, there have been quite a few people who want to come and get married. According to your request, there are a few suitable ones. You have a rest tomorrow, and you come with me to see how old you are. You're not young anymore. In the past, you had to get into the imperial examination and your family didn't push you. Now, hurry up and get married to the right one. Your father, me and your mother are all waiting to have grandchildren."
"Dad, why are you urging me? My eldest brother is not married yet. It's not easy for me, the middle child, to steal his limelight."
Seeing Zheng Xiong using himself as a shield, the boss Zheng Hu was about to say a few words of defense.
Zheng Qi spoke first.
"You think I don't think so. If your cowpox had come out ten years earlier, Hu'er would have taken a wife long ago. Although our family is relatively wealthy, it is not easy for this pockmarked face to find a well-matched wife. "
When Zheng Hu heard this, he realized that he was really his biological father. He immediately became autistic.
Zheng Xiong couldn't help it after hearing this. At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he still wanted to grow and grow a few centimeters taller.
Last time, I was really just seeing it, pretending to be there, but I didn’t expect that I got trapped in it. If I can’t escape, just accept it calmly.
In my previous life, I stayed at home until I was thirty, and I never got married. That was because I never met a girl that I fell in love with. I just wanted to settle down when I was thirty, so I just time-traveled. I just lay down for the rest of my life, thinking that it was not bad, just waiting for me to choose a wife.
"But it's up to Father to make the decision."
Hearing this, Zheng Qi picked up the teacup and took a sip with satisfaction, then dismissed the meeting.
After dinner, we took a walk and told Xiuer about an episode of Pleasant Goat. There were many scenes in this episode, and Xiuer was very satisfied. Although Meiyangyang is also a double-standard sheep, which sheep doesn't have fans?
Zheng Zhi, let's not mention it, is very much like himself when he was a child. He stopped playing during the New Year and returned to private school at the beginning of the new year. All the knowledge he learned last year was returned to him.
After breakfast the next morning, Han Yue'er gave Zheng Xiong a good tidying up. Men don't care, women understand women better.
After some tidying up, Zheng Xiong's public face has indeed become more beautiful.
The father and son made a carriage and put a bunch of gifts on it. The hired workers drove the carriage slowly toward the destination. The time was tight and the task was heavy, so they only had one day off, and they had to rush to a few more places later.
The first one was introduced by a friend of Zheng Qi’s friend. Zheng Xiong’s requirements were a bit excessive. All the people in their 18s and 19s were old girls. There were too few of them, and there were many people who were well-matched.
Although Zheng Xiong didn't care about the rules of being in the same household, he just followed the local customs. You should know that there are fewer old girls in ordinary families who are eighteen or nineteen years old. They married off early.
This family is wealthier than Zheng Xiong's family, which can be seen from the courtyard wall. At a glance, it is at least larger than Zheng Xiong's family.
The head of the family, whose surname is Wan, has five sons and one daughter. All of them are married except for the youngest. The youngest daughter is eighteen or nineteen, and she is the only daughter in the family. She has been favored by everyone since childhood.
She was reluctant to get married early, and her younger daughter didn’t want to get married either. Now she has become an old girl, and there are even fewer people to propose marriage. If the conditions are not good, the family is reluctant to let their daughter marry and endure hardships.
Zheng Xiong's conditions are very good, and his family is relatively well-off. Zheng Xiong is an official. In addition, what Zheng Xiong has done during this period is a major event that benefits the country and the people, especially the cowpox vaccination. A disease that lasts for hundreds or thousands of years.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zheng Xiong will be promoted sooner or later. The reward has not yet come out, but the vaccination has not been completed.
Therefore, the head of the family named Wan is very enthusiastic towards Zheng Qi and Zheng Xiong.
He led the two of them directly into the main hall and asked the servants to serve tea and snacks.
"Master Zheng, I have been a close friend of mine for a long time. I have never had the opportunity to meet you. Today I am here and I want to have a drink so that I can show my friendship as a landlord."
"I don't dare to accept it. I should have invited you. We, father and son, are so sorry that we came to bother you today. Let's just forget about the food and wine."
"Master Zheng's words are serious. It's just a simple meal. Master Zheng, please don't be polite."
Watching the two of them chatting there for a long time, Zheng Xiong, who was bored, picked up the snacks and started eating before they got to the point.
