The Mongols were nomadic people in the past, and their staple food was meat and dairy products.
Eating very little cereals, vegetables and fruits leads to vitamin deficiency in the body.
Therefore, people have loved drinking tea since ancient times to supplement various vitamins.
Mongolia does not produce tea, so tea is very expensive locally.
The people of Suzhou are not deficient in vitamins, but they also love to drink tea, and their country does not produce much tea.
Tea in their country is just like coffee in China in this era, and its price is not cheap.
The landlady quoted the price very honestly.
Someone wanted to make a counteroffer, but the landlady waved her hands repeatedly: "It's too much for you to counteroffer at such a low price."
Some people questioned that if it was sold so cheaply, it might not be good tea.
The landlady opened a bag of tea for them to see for themselves.
Those buyers had nothing to say.
A truckload of tea contains six tons, one bag weighs one pound, totaling 12,000 bags.
It is impossible to retail such a large amount of tea. It is only sold at a minimum of 100 bags, so only small traders will buy it.
Although small traders buy a hundred or two hundred bags at a time, they are still very slow to sell. It may take several hours to sell them all.
Neither Lin Mai nor Fang Zhuoran could speak Mongolian, so they had to rely on the landlady to do business.
Seeing them standing around doing nothing and suffering from the cold, the landlady simply let them wander around the market while she sold tea alone.
Lin Mai and Fang Zhuoran walked hand in hand in the market.
The market not only sells beef and mutton, but also various daily necessities. All kinds of Suzhou meat products and honey are also on sale.
Compared with the prices in Jiangcheng, these things are very cheap.
In his previous life, Lin Mai had seen articles on the Internet introducing various meat products and honey from Bear Country.
It is said that their meat products and honey do not add starch or water, which is very true. I wonder if this is the case in this era.
So she bought a sausage, and when she cut it open, it turned out to be full of meat.
The honey is really not mixed with water. Take a scoop and put it into your mouth. It is so sweet that you will fly.
Whether it's meat sausage or honey without water, they are all good things in Jiangcheng.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon. If I buy a batch of sausages and honey to sell, it will definitely sell well.
It's a pity that I didn't bring any money with me when I went out this time.
Although there are tea leaves, the tea leaves have not been sold out yet.
Even if you sell it, the money you get from selling it will have to be used to buy beef.
I'm afraid I can't buy sausages and honey, which is a pity.
Lin Mai was about to buy a bowl of hot haggis soup for his wife to keep warm, but he heard many people shouting in panic not far away.
She and Fang Zhuoran walked over and took a look. It turned out that a pregnant Mongolian woman in gorgeous clothes accidentally fell off her horse, causing severe abdominal pain and blood all over her body. The situation was very bad.
Two middle-aged women and a young man squatted beside the pregnant woman, bewildered.
Judging from their looks, they should be family members of the pregnant woman.
Fang Zhuoran ordered loudly: "Hurry up and carry the pregnant woman into the yurt."
There are several temporary yurts near the market.
Mongolians are mostly helpful.
When several family members of the pregnant woman struggled to carry the pregnant woman to a yurt, the owner of the yurt immediately let them in.
The two older middle-aged women, one is the mother-in-law of the pregnant woman and the other is their female neighbor, both have some experience in childbirth.
A pregnant woman is only one month away from giving birth. If she falls, she may have to give birth early.
The mother-in-law and the female neighbor pushed the young man, the pregnant woman's husband, out because they wanted to deliver the baby.
Lin Mai bought a bowl of haggis soup and gave it to the proprietress. When he came back, he saw Fang Zhuoran still waiting outside the yurt and asked, "Is the pregnant woman not giving birth yet?"
Fang Zhuoran rubbed her little head: "How can it be so easy to give birth?"
Lin Mai asked: "Are you going to wait outside until the pregnant woman gives birth before leaving?"
Fang Zhuoran nodded: "I vaguely feel that the pregnant woman's condition is not very good, maybe I can help."
Lin Mai was surprised and said: "Isn't it only a gynecologist who can give birth to children?"
"The surgeon knows some basic operations."
The two of them stood outside for about half an hour. The mother-in-law of the pregnant woman ran out and anxiously asked everyone standing outside the yurt: "Is there a midwife? My daughter-in-law can't give birth!"
In the local area, many women have their children delivered by female elders in the family. Only when the situation is not good will they hire a midwife.
As soon as everyone heard this, they all started asking each other, but there was no midwife present.
For a moment, no one knew what to do.
Fang Zhuoran stood up: "I am a doctor, let me go in to check on the condition of the pregnant woman."
In this era, not many Mongolians understand Mandarin, but everyone in Inner Mongolia can understand it.
Someone from Inner Mongolia translated it for pregnant mothers-in-law and men.
Mother and son flatly refused Fang Zhuoran to examine the pregnant woman.
No matter how open their people are, they are not open enough to allow a man to perform a gynecological examination on his woman.
The pregnant woman's husband said to his mother: "Mom, I'm going to find the midwife right now."
After saying that, he jumped on his horse and galloped away.
He walks on the front foot, and the woman's situation becomes worse and worse.
My mother-in-law cried several times and asked older women to come in for help.
There were quite a few people who wanted to help, but after the older women went in and took a look, they were completely unable to help.
They all said that the baby was too big, the cervix was opened, and the baby's head could be seen, but the baby couldn't be born.
If the delay continues, even if the child is finally born, I am afraid that he will have cerebral palsy due to long-term lack of oxygen.
Fang Zhuoran made a prompt decision and said to Lin Mai: "Go in and deliver the baby to the pregnant woman."
When Lin Mai heard this, he was not as calm as usual and was frightened: "I don't know how to deliver babies!"
People's lives are at stake, and she doesn't dare act rashly.
Fang Zhuoran encouraged her: "Don't be afraid, tell me what you see and I will guide you in delivering the baby."
Lin Mai hesitated for a few minutes, then mustered up the courage to walk into the yurt.
At this point, I can only give it a try, and if it doesn't work, give up.
The pregnant woman had taken off her pants and was lying on the felt.
Lin Mai trembled and took a look, and sure enough he could see the child's head.
Lin Mai described what she saw to Fang Zhuoran in detail across the yurt.
Fang Zhuoran initially judged that the child was too big, which was the main reason for the dystocia. There may also be some malposition of the fetus, plus the first birth and the tight birth canal were two secondary reasons.
If you massage your belly with your hands at the beginning, it will still be possible to correct the fetal position in time.
But now that it has been delayed for so long, it is too late to use massage to correct the fetal position.
Fang Zhuoran asked Lin Mai to ask the pregnant mother-in-law for scissors and alcohol to perform a side incision on the pregnant woman.
Enlarging the opening will make it easier for the fetus to be born no matter how big it is.
Lin Mailian drew pictures together to let the pregnant mother-in-law know what she wanted.
The yurt does not belong to the pregnant mother-in-law, so I don’t know where the alcohol and scissors are.
The pregnant mother-in-law called the mistress of the yurt in.
The hostess said apologetically that they only had highland barley wine but no alcohol, but they did have scissors.
Lin Mai was worried that the alcohol concentration of highland barley wine was not high enough and would not have the sterilizing effect.
She told Fang Zhuoran about the situation.
Fang Zhuoran thought for a moment and suggested Lin Mai use fire to disinfect the scissors.
Lin Mai did as he was told.
But when she was holding the scissors to perform a lateral incision on a pregnant woman, her hands kept shaking.
It hurts to cut a hole with scissors.
But now the pregnant woman is in level 10 pain, big beads of sweat are flowing down her head, and her hands are scratching the thick felt under her body.
Lin Mai took a deep breath, her heart pounded, and she followed Fang Zhuoran's instructions and performed a lateral incision on the pregnant woman.
Then I went to deliver the baby according to what he taught me, and finally a big fat boy was born.
When the baby's cry sounded, everyone inside and outside the tent burst into cheers.
At this time, the mother's husband also came back, but it was not the midwife who brought him back, but a female gynecologist.
When the female gynecologist went in and saw that the mother had given birth, she only had to do the finishing touches.
Fang Zhuoran reminded the female gynecologist outside to check whether the placenta was damaged, and then pay attention to whether the mother had heavy bleeding.
She gave birth early due to wrestling.
After explaining, he took Lin Mai back to the truck.
