Chapter 120: Great People? I will see them. [1]
Reservations are rarely made at that time.
In that world, people can make a call or touch their mobile phone to make a reservation.
But here in Joseon, the only way to make a reservation was to write a letter.
Therefore, patients that make a reservation meant that they need to write a letter to see Ganghyuk.
‘Not everybody can write a letter.’
To write a letter, they must know how to write.
Some ordinary people have learned Eonmun but the number of people who could read and write was very small.
In Ganghyuk’s group, Dolseok and Yeoni were the only ones who could read and write among servants.
Makbong and the Flail did not have any will to learn and did not have capabilities either.
‘Not all people who know letters can write a letter.’
They need a lot of things to write a letter. They need paper, brush and ink.
Long story short, only the people with intelligence and wealth could write a letter.
‘I distributed my letter to nobility who are rich in Hanyang. If they are interested, they will send me a reply. Other patients…’
Ganghyuk looked at his students with a sly smile.
Until yesterday, they were servants who spent his money but from today they are the workers who would make money for him.
Precisely speaking, they would be responsible for ordinary patients.
Of course, if the patient is in an emergency or they cannot handle the disease because of the difficulty, he will take care of the patient.
With the five days’ training in the hell-like warehouse, their skills improved and the cases that Ganghyuk should take care of the patient would be rare.
Hiding his intention, he talked about the reservation with good words,
” I should not be tied up with a certain case to supervise and manage the clinic. I need to oversee you.”
“Eum… Yes, you are right. We need to learn more.”
“Yes, but you will learn more through practices.”
“Yes, sir.”
Yeoni answered quickly.
“Please teach me more, teacher.”
“Yes.”
Dongpa accepted his remark as he did not know Ganghyuk’s intention because he joined the group very recently.
He was determined to learn from Ganghyuk and treated him as his teacher.
Makbong did not like to think so he nodded his head to show his agreement with Ganghyuk’s remark.
“Eeum.”
But Dolseok thought differently.
Although he doubted Ganghyuk’s intention, he did not speak it out openly.
As he was a servant, he did not want to oppose against him.
‘I must wait.’
He was waiting in the yard until others went into their examination room.
Ganghyuk wondered why he did not go into the room, but he did not push him.
He was excited to exploit them.
Dolseok covered his head with hands in advance and approached Ganghyuk.
‘I will be hit, surely. I am a very strange person. Why am I doing this?’
He did not understand himself. He knew that Ganghyuk would hit him when he asked the question. But he could not help asking the question.
Probably one of his parents gave him this gene.
Blaming his parents who he had never seen because they had died too early, he went to Ganghyuk.
Checking that nobody else was there except Ganghyuk and himself, he asked.
“The reservation system, sir.”
“What?”
“That means you will take a rest and we are taking the patients, right?”
As it was true, he could not say no.
Instead he got angry.
There is a saying that you get angry at others for your own mistakes.
“Are you crazy?”
Ganghyuk looked around to see if there were other people than Dolseok.
As Dolseok expected, Ganghyuk hit Dolseok at the back of his head.
“Please use language. Do not beat me.”
“Because you asked some strange question.”
“However, that is true, isn’t it?”
“Ha, this fellow.”
Ganghyuk swung his arm and Dolseok retreated.
It remined him of his old days.
‘I did the same thing to my professor. I always complained and niggled.’
He was scolded by his professors a lot.
But he was not beaten like Dolseok.
Ganghyuk only had a very short period to be scolded by professors.
Thanks to his skills and research achievements, he became a professor at a very early age.
‘The chairman guides my way, too. He favored me especially.’
He did not know the reason.
He wanted to ask it if he could go back to that world.
‘Dolseok is a good boy, considering my case.’
But he thought that he crossed the line too often.
He was Ganghyuk’s slave anyway.
He approached Dolseok with ambivalent feelings.
Approaching him nearer, Ganghyuk felt more anger than pity.
Dolseok tried to cover his body with his hands.
“Why is he beaten there?”
Makbong looked out from his room and clicked his tongue.
Because they were far apart, he could not hear the sound but it seemed very clear to me.
Dolseok complained and Ganghyuk beat him.
But this time, it was different from what he expected.
Ganghyuk stroked Dolseok’s head unlike his expectation.
“What is this?”
Makbong felt curious but he could not find out what happened there.
He had to concentrate on the patients who were coming in.
“Thus, are you complaining?”
“Yes?”
“While you are working, I can take a rest. Are you complaining about it?”
Dolseok was embarrassed, as Ganghyuk acted like another person.
He thought it would be better if he hit him once.
As he stroked his head, he felt bigger fear.
“I treated patients and you were assisting me up to now.”
“Yes.”
“But you could have better food and better clothes.”
“Y…es.”
“Then you have to pay me back.”
“Yes.”
“Then go and see the patient. Do not quibble over it any more.”
“Yes, sir.”
Dolseok ran to his room with a surprised face. More precisely, he tried to run quickly.
“Hey, Dolseok.”
“Yes.”
“I forgot something.”
“What is it? Eok!”
Suddenly, his kick hit Dolseok’s waist.
It was a strong kick that made Gwanghae fall down in the duel.
Dolseok did not expect such a thing from him so he collapsed at the very place.
Then, Makbong watching them in his room nodded his head.
“Yes, I knew it. I knew that Sir Ganghyuk would beat him anyway.”
Ganghyuk looked at Dolseok who was lying flat on the yard.
“Yeoju told me.”
“What?”
“Lord, teacher and father are the same. Understand? You need to respect me, ok?”
“Eu.”
Ganghyuk went to the back room leaving Dolseok moaning on the ground.
He closed the door to the yard and opened the door to the backyard. Then he felt as if he were in Utopia.
It is very quiet compared to the rooms of his students which were full of patients.
“The Flail works very well.”
He told the Flail that he wanted a large house with a detached backyard.
He did not give any detailed specifications, but the Flail successfully found the house that suited for Ganghyuk.
He liked his cleverness.
Of course, he might be fully exploited at this time.
‘I can see it.’
He ordered that everything that they received as fee should be stacked in the backyard.
He could see those materials in his room when he opened the door towards the backyard.
He could watch the Flail and his fellows transporting the materials from the clinic rooms to the backyard.
He was earning money although he did not do anything.
His students and the Flail would have some of them when he distributed them.
He felt as if he were a king.
“Eokcha.”
Ganghyuk reviewed the book that Yeoju made.
‘It is awkward. She might not be able to see it clearly.’
As she was not majoring in Medicine, some of the pictures were wrong.
As a matter of fact, even an anatomy professor could not draw all of the processes for the five days accurately.
It was because she had to draw very quickly to draw all the processes happening there.
‘Yeoju might be busy, too. It is natural that the clinic is busy on the day of opening.’
He wanted to correct things but Yeoju was too busy.
He could see Yeoju moving quickly through the open door.
She was busily moving from room to room.
It seems that she was the busiest one among the fellows.
‘Okay, I only have to check.’
At first he tried to correct it by himself, but he gave up.
If it was writing, he could do it, but it was a painting and he did not want to destroy her work.
Therefore, he decided to take a memo.
Once she got less busy, she could correct the painting.
‘Shall I exercise martial arts today?’
He spent nearly ten days to correct the books that Yeoju had made.
After that, he could not find any other interesting thing to do so he did this and that to kill time.
Although he did not do anything special, he enjoyed his life.
“Flail, did you rent the warehouse next door?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Then why are you bringing rice here?”
“Because it is full already.”
He rented the warehouse only a few days ago and it was large.
It is the evidence of how much money his fellows made.
He made a smile of satisfaction.
“Really? We are making big money.”
“Yes, sir. This clinic is very famous now. Even noblemen visit Dolseok’s room quite often.”
“Good.”
“I will leave it here.”
“Ok.”
Ganghyuk sat down on the futon letting him go.
He enjoyed his life doing nothing.
Actually, however, he did something.
“Sir.”
The Flail called him quietly.
Ganghyuk opened the door without hesitation.
“Did they come?”
“Yes, there are two people.”
“Okay, the person with the hat, right?”
“Yes, sir. Can I ask them to go in?”
“Okay, they don’t need to wait outside.”
“Yes, sir.”
Two people with traditional hats made out of bamboo came in.
The bamboo hat looked very different from an ordinary hat. It was custom made by Ganghyuk.
If they wear it, nobody can identify them.
“Hugh, today I only have anonymous patients.”
As it is related to the lower limb, they did not want to tell their names.
Even the people who came to him with referral, they did not want to disclose their identity.
It is totally illegal in Korea to give the pill without examination, but Ganghyuk did not mind giving Viagra to them without examination.
It is Joseon anyway.
“Welcome.”
“People say that you are a very good doctor.”
“I am okay, but this guy pulled me to go together…”
They were very shy.
Even when they took off the hat, they did not raise their heads for a while.
‘Probably their symbols are bending like their heads, haha.’
Ganghyuk started consulting while suppressing his laugh.
As he charged much, he tried to satisfy his customers.
“Please fill out the form.”
“What is this?”
“It is about how often you have drank and how much exercise you have had for the five days. Please fill it out without blanks. The information is necessary for the treatment.”
“Heo… Cham.”
They were all the same.
Although complaining, they tried to write everything so that they could have the best treatment.
While they were filling out the form, Ganghyuk took out pills and put them in separate silk pouches one by one.
It did not matter what they wrote on the form. The treatment was Viagra.
They were nothing compared to the next patient.
‘Next patient is Cheomjijungchubusa Hwang Yungil.’
