In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a family surnamed Wu in the ancient city of Shaoxing, south of the Yangtze River.
The Wu family and his wife had three sons, but the family was poor and could not afford to raise their sons to adulthood.
One night, in desperation, the Wu family and his wife discussed selling a son, so that the children left behind could also be fed, and the one who was sold could also live if they went to a rich family.
As for who to sell, they decided to borrow dozens of dollars from their neighbors to buy a roast chicken leg, and sell the child wherever he ate the chicken leg.
No, the conversation between the couple happened to be listened to by the eldest and second.
The brothers decided that no matter how fragrant the chicken legs they bought tomorrow or how greedy they were, they would endure it and not be sold by their parents.
At noon on the second day, there was indeed an extra roast chicken leg on the Wu family's table.
The eldest and second children swallowed saliva when they saw the chicken legs, but they resisted their desires and refused to eat them.
As for the third child, while happily shouting "It's so fragrant", he picked up the chicken leg and ate it in a big gulp.
The Wu family and his wife looked at the appearance of the third child, and couldn't help but shed tears silently.
In fact, the third child also knew about the chicken legs, but he knew that the family had no money to eat, and he always had to sell one other person to survive.
Since the eldest brother and the second brother are unwilling to be sold, let's leave this family by themselves.
In this way, the third child of the Wu family was sold by the Wu family to the landlord's house in the same village and started to be a cattle herding baby.
Wu Laosan was very serious about his cattle herding work, and even did not live in the man's house at night, but slept in the cowshed.
For his abnormal behavior, it is very puzzling to others, and he is even ridiculed by other subordinates, laughing at him for being stupid.
But Wu Laosan ignored this completely, and still went his own way, with the cow as his companion day and night.
One winter, the weather was exceptionally cold, and the landlord's precious son became seriously ill.
The landlord hired the best local doctor, but there was no improvement.
On this day, the landlord went out and ran around for his son's illness, Wu Laosan took the opportunity to carry the landlord's son into the cowshed, put him on the frozen hard cow dung, and then covered him with a thick layer of straw.
It wasn't until the landlord returned home that Wu Laosan pulled his son out of the straw pile.
Originally, the landlord was very angry and wanted to punish Wu Laosan severely, but when he saw that his son's face was much better and he had spirits, he seemed to be much better, so he asked Wu Laosan what was going on?
Wu Laosan said: "Your son has a fever and needs to use cold methods to get hot. The doctor also knew what I could do, but they didn't dare to do it, so your son's illness never improved.
The landlord suddenly realized that he was grateful to Wu Laosan, but at the same time he had a lot of puzzles: his family's cattle herding baby knows medical skillsHow could he not know!
Wu Laosan explained embarrassedly: When he was not busy herding cattle during the day, he would go to the village hospital to secretly study and Xi to see how the doctor diagnosed;At night, in order to Xi what he learned during the day, he chose to sleep in the cowshed, so that he would not disturb others by sleeping late and would not be influenced by others to concentrate on his Xi.
Now, he has learned most of it, so he dares to treat the landlord's son.
After hearing this, the landlord was very surprised and moved, but he didn't expect that the cattle herding baby he bought was a promising young man with lofty ambitions and strong will, and he would become a great tool in the future!
After some emotion, the landlord personally destroyed Wu Laosan's deed of sale and sent him to the hospital to start a formal medical career.
Many years later, an official who was good friends with the landlord had a strange disease, and many doctors near and far could not be cured, so the landlord recommended Wu Laosan to **.
After Wu Laosan made a serious diagnosis, he told the official that the old man had a heart disease!Heart disease also needs heart medicine to treat!
The official didn't expect that Wu Laosan would be able to hit the key point with one word at a young age, so he opened the conversation box and talked with Wu Laosan.
This official man does have a heart disease:
He came here to investigate the grain parcel thoroughly on the order of the imperial court, but he had no clue about it, and seeing that the day of his return was getting closer and closer, he was anxious and uneasy, so he became ill.
After thinking about it, Wu Laosan gave the official master an idea:
When harvesting grain, put an egg in each bag of grain, and if the egg in one bag is broken, it is the grain that has been passed on to the hands and feet.
When the official heard this, he thought it was good, so he authorized Wu Laosan to do it.
But when the grain arrived, there were a lot of eggs in each bag, and it was impossible to tell where the bag was wrong.
The official felt that Wu Laosan's idea still didn't work.
But Wu Laosan's words made the official master suddenly.
He said: "Master, I claim that the eggs in the bag are raw eggs, but what I secretly put in is boiled eggs, and now as long as I check which bag of eggs is raw, I will know where there is a problem with the grain in the bag."
Later, the official followed the clue of the egg, investigated and dealt with it level by level, and found out the details of the case of the grain drop.
And Wu Laosan, because of his clever plan, was appreciated by the official master, and later hired him as a staff member.
Later, Wu Laosan relied on his wisdom to offer one wonderful plan after another, and finally won the favor of the nobles and became a big official.
And this Wu Laosan is the famous master of the Qing Dynasty: Wu Sidao!
