On the second day, the sky was slightly bright, and Huang Xiao returned to Daming again with excitement.
As the early morning breeze blew, Huang Xiao stood at the door, took a deep breath, set up the wooden ladder, and hung the banners printed in the town yesterday on the courtyard door.
Hui Chun Tang gives back thanks and the free clinic activity is now in full swing!
Of course, the characters have been changed to traditional Chinese characters, and the punctuation marks are naturally gone.
This was something he had thought about the day before yesterday. If he wanted to get close to Zhu Youxiao and help him treat his illness, he would naturally have to use extraordinary means.
He has reason to believe that after what happened the day before yesterday, Huang Xiao's reputation has already spread in this area. If it wants to spread to Zhu Youxiao's ears, I'm afraid he will have to add more fire!
He naturally did not expect that Wei Zhongxian would tell Zhu Youxiao about his situation that day.
Sure enough, as soon as he opened the door, a large group of patients gathered outside, and soon there were more and more people talking. Huang Xiao was excited and a little overwhelmed at the same time.
Huang Xiao did not expect the speed and popularity of this thing to come back to life in front of everyone.
Since the afternoon of the day before yesterday, countless people have been wandering in front of his yard. No matter whether they knock on the door or shout, no one answers. Therefore, this morning, there are even more people gathering.
Huang Xiao learned the etiquette in the video, cupped his hands, and shouted loudly: "Dear neighbors, today is a good day for my Huichun Hall to reopen again!
In order to carry out my father's legacy and benefit my neighbors, I have decided to provide free clinics for three days. During these three days, medical treatment is free and medicines are at low prices. Don't be impatient and line up one by one. If you have an urgent illness, you can negotiate to jump in line. "
Everyone roared with applause!
Originally, everyone had heard about Huang Xiao's extraordinary medical skills, so they came here to seek medical advice. Who would have expected that they would encounter such a good thing!
You must know that in this era, the cost of medical diagnosis and medicine are billed separately, and the costs are extremely high. Unless they are really unable to bear it, ordinary people will not go to the pharmacy.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, everyone followed Huang Xiao's instructions and lined up one after another.
Just as we lined up, we heard the sound of gongs and drums, followed by shouts not far away.
Everyone looked over curiously and saw a sedan being carried over. There was a person in front of the sedan, with his head held high and his chest held high. It was the proud Wang Da. He was wearing new clothes, striding over and shouting: "Everyone give way! Let's give way!" The young master has come personally to give Dr. Huang a thank you gift!"
Everyone quickly stepped aside and immediately clapped their hands and cheered. Those who had seen Wang Da at the scene all described the situation of the day vividly, while those who had not seen it with their own eyes were now convinced of it.
Cui Pinhua got off the sedan. After two days of rest, he had recovered.
He waved his hand, and two boys came forward holding two gift boxes, one large and one small.
"Thank you for saving my life the day before yesterday. Please accept the gift money. Later, I will introduce you to some good friends to ensure your business is prosperous!"
The boy opened the gift box. One box was filled with dazzling gold, while the other box was filled with silver.
I saw five gold ingots quietly placed in the small box, while another large box was filled with silver ingots.
The onlookers roared with envy again.
Huang Xiao politely thanked him and accepted the gift, feeling happy in his heart.
These five gold ingots are worth a lot at 300 grams.
As for the silver, it is estimated to be several hundred taels, which is not worth much. It is only a few yuan per gram. If it is sold, it may not be sold for 5 yuan per gram, but in Daming, this is a lot of money. .
Although this Cui Pinhua is a bit dandy, he is serious about his actions.
According to the prices in the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver could buy about one stone of rice. In ancient times, stone was the unit of volume.
In the Han Dynasty, one stone of rice was about 120 kilograms, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was about 150 kilograms. Nowadays, in some areas of Henan and Zhejiang, 50 kilograms of grain are still called one stone.
According to 150 kilograms per stone, today’s rice price is about 400 yuan.
However, natural disasters continued in the late Ming Dynasty, and with the inflow of overseas silver, the price of silver naturally could not be compared with that in the Wanli period. In addition, with the continuous natural disasters last year, the capital now got 2 taels of silver per stone and meter, which means that the purchasing power of one tael of silver was about 200 yuan.
The price of silver in ancient times was linked to grain, so the value of silver in modern times cannot be generalized. The value of silver is different in every dynasty and in every period, and the value of buying different things is different.
According to the price in Beijing during the Wanli period recorded in "Wanshu Miscellanies" of the Ming Dynasty, rice cost eight cents per stone, tender chicken (bamboo shoot chicken) cost seven cents silver, live chicken cost four cents silver, live duck cost three cents per stone, and white flour cost eight cents per one. catty. A mouthful of fat pig (80 kilograms) costs one to two six cents of silver, and a mouthful of sheep (20 kilograms) costs three cents and two cents of silver...
Take a fat pig as an example. An 80-pound fat pig costs 1,600 yuan, one tael of silver (sixteen-digit system), and one tael of silver costs about 1,000 yuan. Taking rice as an example, one tael of silver costs about 800 yuan.
But by the Tianqi Dynasty, the price of silver had depreciated many times compared with the Wanli Dynasty. By the end of the Chongzhen Dynasty, the price of rice was extremely high, and the price of silver fell to the extreme. After the Qing Dynasty took over the Central Plains, due to the recovery of production, silver prices Prices slowly recovered.
The value of silver taels began to fall again in the late Qing Dynasty. Due to the influx of a large amount of overseas silver taels into China in the late Qing Dynasty, the value of China's silver taels depreciated significantly. The purchasing power of one tael of silver was only 1/3 of that of one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty. It can be calculated from this In the late Qing Dynasty, the value of one tael of silver was only equivalent to more than 200 yuan today.
In Tianqi Dynasty, the current price of silver, converted into grams, is almost the same as the price of silver in modern society. There are time-travel novels that describe the protagonist purchasing silver in modern society and consuming it back in the late Ming Dynasty. This is really taken for granted. Of course, this is also a method. Industrial silver should be okay, but Huang Xiao doesn't think he can use it.
"Master Cui, stay!"
Huang Xiao took two steps, came close to Cui Pinhua, and whispered: "Master Cui, please take a step to speak, come with me."
Cui Pinhua was stunned, then followed Huang Xiao into the central hall.
"What do you want to tell me about this young master?"
Huang Xiao whispered: "Thanks to the reward from Master Cui, I have some good things here for you, which can be regarded as my little kindness."
After Huang Xiao finished speaking, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it over.
Cui Pinhua's eyes lit up.
This small porcelain vase is about ten centimeters long. It is completely crystal clear. It is actually made of the finest colored glaze. It does not look like an ordinary product at first glance. It contains ten light blue square pieces, but I don’t know what they are.
He took it casually and played with it.
"What is this?"
Huang Xiao chuckled and said in a low voice: "This is the Bliss Pill made from the secret recipe passed down by my Huang family! I am the only one in the world who can prepare it. It only uses ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and other natural and earthly treasures. They are precious. Abnormal! The effect is even more astonishing! The most important thing is that it can make men remain virile and enjoy the ultimate pleasure!"
Cui Pinhua became more and more surprised as he listened, and lost his voice: "Is this true? Is it harmful to your health?"
Huang Xiao said proudly: "I don't dare to deceive Master Cui! This medicine is not a dirty product. It not only has quick effects, but also has long-lasting effects... and has excellent effects! Moreover, this medicine is developed from precious medicinal materials and is good for the body." No side effects!"
Cui Pinhua said with a lewd smile: "In that case, I just accept it!"
He put the bottle in his sleeve and said solemnly: "Well, I am very talented. I didn't have any use for this thing originally. But because of your kindness, I reluctantly tried it. How do you use this medicine? Quickly. Come on!"
