Chapter 3278 High hopes

"Mr. Xiao, you are here."

After getting the news, Uncle Liu hurried out.

"Haha, Uncle Liu, didn't you tell me, just call me by my name."

Xiao Chen looked at him and said with a smile.

"Based on what you have done, it is appropriate for me to call you 'Sir'."

Uncle Liu looked at Xiao Chen and said seriously.

Hearing Uncle Liu's words, Xiao Chen was stunned. What did I do?

Seeing Xiao Chen's puzzled look, Uncle Liu smiled: "The things Mr. Xiao has done for the Chinese medicine community have spread... There are not many people I admire in my life, Mr. Xiao, and Mr. Xiao is one of them."

"Well...what did I do?"

Xiao Chen hesitated and asked.

He felt like he didn't do anything.

"Mr. Xiao has produced so many ancient pharmacopoeia books, including many lost medical skills. This is a great contribution."

Uncle Liu said.

"Oh, this matter, haha, it's not worth mentioning."

Xiao Chen was stunned, and then waved his hand.

"This little thing has spread throughout the Chinese medicine community?"

"For Mr. Xiao, this is a trivial matter, but for the Chinese medicine community, it is a big deal."

Uncle Liu looked at Xiao Chen and said in admiration.

"Yao Lao said in public more than once that Mr. Xiao saved the entire world of traditional Chinese medicine."

"..."

Xiao Chen's face trembled, did Mr. Yao do this to attract hatred for him?

Fortunately, he is not involved in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, otherwise many people would be dissatisfied with him just based on Yao Lao's words.

"Mr. Xiao, you are just here to talk. Come on, let's go to the medicine garden."

Uncle Liu smiled.

"Yao Lao is watering those herbs. He will be very happy to see you."

"Um."

Xiao Chen nodded and followed Uncle Liu inside.

"Uncle Liu, I heard from Yixuan before that you are Yao Lao's disciple?"

"It doesn't count, it's half at most."

Uncle Liu shook his head.

"I like medical skills, but my qualifications are dull. Fortunately, Yao Lao didn't mind and let me follow him..."

"Haha, studying medicine, sometimes it's not good to be smart."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Actually, it's not just about medical skills, it's about many things."

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Uncle Liu was startled because Yao Lao also said the same thing.

"Uncle Liu, have you never practiced medicine?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"Well, I have been studying with Yao Lao and taking care of everything in Yao Mansion."

Uncle Liu nodded.

"As for treating people, I haven't done so in many years."

"Haha, following Yao Lao all day long, Uncle Liu's medical skills must be quite good."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Perhaps 'no one asked me for ten years, and I became famous all over the world in one fell swoop'."

"I don't dare to think about that. I'm very happy to be able to learn from Yao Lao."

Uncle Liu shook his head.

"Nothing more to ask for."

"Don't Uncle Liu want to be a master of Chinese medicine and treat patients?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"Of course I thought about it a few years ago, but I've gotten used to it over the years, and my life now is pretty good."

Uncle Liu smiled.

"Lao Yao once said that doctors are benevolent and those who study medicine must be responsible for the patients, and even more responsible for the patients' lives... If I make a mistake and delay the patient's treatment, it will be a big sin.

"

"hehe."

When Xiao Chen saw Uncle Liu saying this, he smiled and stopped continuing the topic.

"Didn't Yixuan come back with you this time?"

Uncle Liu also changed the subject and asked.

"No, she has been very busy recently."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"I have something to do when I come to the capital this time. Since I'm here, I naturally want to come and see Yao Lao."

"Um."

Uncle Liu nodded.

"Mr. Xiao is interested."

The two of them talked and came to the medicine garden.

As soon as he entered, Xiao Chen saw Yaoqi Huang who was bending down to water the water.

At this time, Yao Qihuang was wearing a straw hat and loose clothes, and he did not have the slightest bit of style as a master of traditional Chinese medicine.

Uncle Liu wanted to speak, but Xiao Chen stopped him.

He did not disturb Yao Qihuang, but watched from the side.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Yao Qihuang straightened up and saw Xiao Chen next to him.

He was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of surprise.

"Xiao Chen? When did you come?"

"Haha, I just arrived too."

Xiao Chen smiled and stepped forward.

"I saw you were serious, so I didn't bother you."

"Just play with it and water it."

Yao Qihuang looked towards the entrance of the medicine garden with a smile on his face.

"You came back by yourself? Where is Yixuan?"

"She didn't come back. She was busy in Longhai."

Xiao Chen replied.

"Well, come on, sit down and talk."

Yao Qihuang nodded, and then told Uncle Liu to make tea.

"When did you arrive in the capital? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"I arrived yesterday and thought I would give you a surprise."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"What kind of surprise do I, an old man, want?"

Yao Qihuang took off his straw hat and put it next to him.

"Are you going to stay in the capital for a while?"

"It should only take two or three days, not too long."

Xiao Chen replied.

"I came here for Su Qing, she is in the capital now..."

"Oh, I know this. She came to visit me when she first came here."

Yao Qi Huang nodded.

"How is this girl doing in the capital? Are you still used to it?"

"Has she come to visit you?"

Xiao Chen was surprised that Su Qing didn't say this.

Moreover, he knew yesterday that Amelia Su had also been to the Han family and visited Mr. Han.

He didn't know it before.

"Um."

Yao Qi Huang nodded.

"Haha, she didn't tell me."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"I should be used to it after coming to the capital, but I have lost a lot of weight."

"Maybe the rhythm is different. It's a little busier here."

Yao Qihuang said.

"Tell her to come and sit at home when you have time."

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded.

While the two were talking, Uncle Liu came over with tea.

"Yao Lao, Mr. Xiao, drink tea."

"Um."

Yao Qi Huang nodded.

"Xiao Chen, try this tea. I grow it myself and fry it myself."

"oh?"

Xiao Chen was surprised. He picked it up and took a sip. The aroma was not strong, but had a refreshing taste.

“Pretty good.”

"hehe."

Yaoqi Huang smiled.

"It's not as good as those good teas, it's just a pleasure to drink."

While the two were talking, Uncle Liu was not idle and continued what Yao Qihuang had not finished.

"How are Uncle Liu's medical skills?"

Xiao Chen drank tea, looked at Uncle Liu who was watering water, and asked.

"very good."

Yao Qihuang seemed surprised that Xiao Chen asked this, but he still answered.

"very good?"

Xiao Chen was a little surprised when he heard Yao Qihuang's words.

You know, it would be great to be able to make Yao Qihuang say the word "very good".

There are thousands of traditional Chinese medicine doctors in China, but those who can make Yaoqihuang praise them as "very good" are definitely very few. It's almost like one in a million!

He couldn't understand why Yao Qihuang asked Uncle Liu to be a housekeeper instead of a doctor since he said he had good medical skills.

"Yes, very good."

Yao Qi Huang nodded.

"I guess I'll be able to pass it on 70% or 80% of the time."

Xiao Chen was even more surprised. He got 78% of the true biography of Yaoqihuang. This is not very good. He can be regarded as a 'miraculous doctor'.

"Are you wondering why I didn't let him practice medicine but stayed with me?"

Yao Qihuang asked with a smile.

"Um."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"The time has not come yet."

Yaoqi Huang smiled.

"At least, I will let him out only if he gets nine points of true inheritance...Before you, the person I have the highest hopes for is actually not the other disciples, but him."

"Uncle Liu?"

Xiao Chen looked at Uncle Liu who was watering the water. Yao Lao valued him so much?

"Yes, it is precisely because I have high hopes that I want him to stay with me... He doesn't have much talent, but he is willing to work hard, be attentive, and can concentrate on research."

Yao Qihuang explained.

"So that's it."

After listening to Yao Qihuang's explanation, Xiao Chen suddenly understood.

"Yao Lao, Uncle Liu is already this old... If you don't let him out, it will be too late, right?"

"Haha, it's not too late. It's not too late to be eighty years old when you graduate from school."

Yaoqi Huang smiled.

"Besides, he is only in his fifties, and you all call him old, Uncle Liu."

Xiao Chen also smiled. Since Yao Lao knew what he was doing, he didn't say much.

Then, he handed over the ancient pharmacopoeia book prepared for Yaoqihuang.

Originally, Yao Qihuang wanted to talk to Xiao Chen about his disciple who had "high hopes". After seeing the ancient pharmacopoeia book, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly flipped through it.

Even Xiao Chen, who was beside him, couldn't care about it, and only the ancient pharmacopoeia books were in his eyes.

Xiao Chen smiled, took a sip of tea, and got up to help Uncle Liu.

Just when Xiao Chen was helping to water the water, Hua Qingfeng came in from outside.

"I heard you're here, it's true."

Hua Qingfeng looked at Xiao Chen and said.

"Why are you pouring water on it?"

"Haha, Mr. Yao is reading a book. I have nothing to do. I thought I'd help you finish watering, so I'll go pay your respects to the old man."

Xiao Chen looked at Hua Qingfeng and said with a smile.

"If you want to coax me, if you want to say hello, you should go there early instead of me running over to find you."

Hua Qingfeng curled her lips.

"Haha, I will definitely visit you first next time."

Xiao Chen smiled, took an ancient book from the small table, and gave it to Hua Qingfeng.

"I've prepared it for you too, I'm sure you'll like it."

Hua Qingfeng's eyes widened when she saw it. The witch doctor's lost secret book?

Then...she also threw Xiao Chen aside, and just like Yao Qihuang, she was immersed in it.

"..."

Xiao Chen looked at the two of them, dumbfounded. Forget it, let's continue watering.

However, he thought it was normal. It was precisely because of this attitude that their medical skills were so superb.

Xiao Chen and Uncle Liu chatted wordlessly for about half an hour when Yao Qihuang raised his head.

He turned around and was about to ask Xiao Chen a few words when he suddenly found that the person next to him was his daughter-in-law Hua Qingfeng.

"Where's Xiao Chen?"

Yao Qihuang was startled and looked forward, only to see Xiao Chen.

"Yao Lao, have you finished reading?"

Xiao Chen came over and asked.

"Yeah, come on, let's discuss some things that we don't quite understand."

Yao Qi Huang nodded.

"good."

Xiao Chen nodded with a smile, sat next to him, and started discussing with Yao Qihuang.

When the two discussed for a while, Hua Qingfeng also joined in, and the discussion between the two turned into a discussion among three people.

Chinese medicine and witch doctors still have something in common.

Yao Qihuang also approved of the witch doctor, otherwise he would not have let Hua Qingfeng be his daughter-in-law.

Xiao Chen also liked this atmosphere very much. He not only talked about a few ancient books, but also talked about the contents of the "Medical Scrolls" in "The Five Volumes of Shennong". After a discussion, he himself gained a lot.
