After coming out of the county government office, Lingbao and his eldest brother went straight to the old doctor's house.
At first, Cheng Zhongqian didn't think about asking Ling Bao to become his master, because he also planned to hire an imperial doctor for Ling Bao to become a serious master later. However, the old doctor gave Ling Bao a lot of advice, and he had already established a master-disciple relationship.
I made up for the teacher recognition ceremony some time ago.
That's why the old doctor told them his home address. When he wasn't sitting in Miao Ren Hall, Ling Bao would come here to see him.
At first, the old doctor just wanted to have multiple friends, but after getting along with him these days, he found that Ling Bao was really talented...
As a master, the greatest luck is that your apprentice is talented!
"Master, here I come."
The old doctor's name is Song Mai. His ancestors were traveling doctors. The younger members of the family have been practicing medicine since they were young, so the house is filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicinal materials.
Some people find the smell unpleasant, but Lingbao never feels any discomfort. Maybe this is one of his talents.
Song Mai was surprised to learn that Lingbao had grown fungus.
He held a piece of fungus, turned it over and over, and praised, "The quality is really good."
Black fungus is also a medicinal material, so Miaorentang also has it, but he did not expect that Lingbao would find out how to grow it himself.
"I saw the right person." Song Mai praised, "You really have talent."
Lingbao lowered her head in embarrassment. She didn't rely on herself. She also learned from books, but she couldn't say...
Cheng Yun knew his sister well and could tell what she was thinking at a glance, so he rubbed her head.
The master and apprentice went to one side to discuss the issue of accumulating Lingbao. Cheng Yun took a book and read it beside him. Usually, this kind of situation would not end for an hour or two.
After an hour and a half, the two finally stopped.
"Go back and consolidate what you learned today. I will check it when I come next time." Song Mai took a sip of tea, which made his mouth go dry.
However, teaching Ling Bao is not boring at all. Unlike others who just listen blankly, she has her own thoughts.
This is all thanks to the medical books in the library. As the saying goes, the meaning of reading it a hundred times will become apparent, and it also makes some sense when it is placed in medical books.
But for other apprentices, medical books are not so easy to obtain, and they are basically passed down.
"Okay Master, I remember it."
He left Songmai's house and went to Gao's house.
After entering the door, Ling Bao went to the study by the familiar route, and his voice was sweet and joyful: "Grandpa Gao, Ling Bao is here to see you."
Because Gao Xianqing has a rigid personality, the Gao family has always been very quiet. The arrival of Ling Bao was like a chirping bird, and the whole yard came to life.
Gao Xianqing in the study curled up the corner of his mouth, lowered it again, frowned slightly and said, "I'm here as soon as I'm here. What's there to shout about?"
Cheng Yun felt that the quiet Gao Xianqing must be unhappy this time.
Lingbao said, "I haven't been here for a long time. Grandpa Gao must have missed me. That's why I shouted to let you know I'm here early."
Gao Xianqing: "You also know that you haven't been here for a long time."
He didn't refute the words about missing her.
Ling Bao raised his face and smiled, saying "I'm a busy man" and said, "I'm busy."
"How busy can you be, little guy?" Gao Xianqing said this, but he knew that it was the summer harvest season recently, and both the elderly and children would participate.
"I'm very busy, Grandpa Gao, don't underestimate me, I'm always helping." Ling Bao said.
Gao Xianqing said sternly: "I don't underestimate you."
Although this child is young, he is very sensible and knows that he will not be lazy and enjoy himself at this time.
He waved and asked, "Have you read any books lately?"
"Yes." She would take time to read a book every day, no matter what kind of book it was. If there was no light at night, she would go to the space to read. Anyway, the space is always bright.
"What have you read? Is there anything you don't understand?"
That’s too much!
Lingbao
He leaned over happily and found that there was an extra stool next to Gao Xianqing's chair, which was not there before.
Gao Xianqing glanced at her: "What are you doing standing there? Sit down."
Ling Bao climbed up and sat down, subconsciously shaking his two calves dangling in the air, and accidentally touched Gao Xianqing, who seemed not to feel it.
So you're still not angry?
Cheng Yun guessed wrong again, which is normal. He is Gao Xianqing's bed partner, and Grandma Gao sometimes guesses wrong too.
The old man and the young man discussed it for a long time. Gao Xianqing asked Ling Bao to think about it again, and then looked at Cheng Yun: "Is there anything you don't understand about your knowledge?"
Cheng Yun hurriedly said: "Yes."
He hurriedly went up to ask for advice, but he knew quite well that he was the one who happened to be with Ling Bao.
At noon, Cheng Yun wanted to take Ling Bao out for dinner.
Gao Xianqing frowned and said, "Why bother? It's not like I can't afford to have two more mouths for you."
"...It's three mouths. We still have to go find my father." Cheng Yun said with some embarrassment, "We'll come back after dinner."
He rubbed the tip of his nose sheepishly.
On the day when Ling Bao came to see Gao Xianqing, Cheng Zhongqian would shamelessly come over. After all, he would benefit a lot from getting some guidance from him.
Gao Xianqing said: "Then call him too."
Gao Xianqing was the head of the family, and no one raised objections to the decisions he made. Cheng Yun declined for a while, but finally agreed.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
"Grandpa Gao, thank you. Then you can eat the fungus I brought you for lunch today. I grew it myself!" Ling Bao said happily.
Gao Yi's wife was the one who cooked at home. She came over and took a look. She had never eaten this before and blurted out: "Is this edible?"
Gao Xianqing looked over with a stern look.
Gao Yi's wife was startled, and then she realized that there was an ambiguity in her words, and she quickly wanted to explain that she was not a friend who deliberately ran against her father-in-law!
Unexpectedly, Lingbao didn't care at all. She smiled and said, "I know you haven't eaten it before. It's delicious and good for your health."
She grabbed Gao Xianqing's hand and said, "Grandpa Gao, don't you know? Fungus is a kind of medicinal material. It can replenish qi and blood, moisten the lungs and stop bleeding. It is also very delicious to eat."
Gao Xianqing: "Oh?"
A crisis disappeared, and Gao Yi's wife breathed a sigh of relief as if she had survived the disaster.
Not long after, Cheng Yun and the two men who had gone to see Cheng Zhongqian came back, and Cheng Zhongqian expressed his gratitude politely and thoughtfully.
Lingbao said: "I want to teach people in our village to grow fungus and sell it to improve their lives. By then everyone will have enough to eat and clothing to wear."
Gao Xianqing nodded happily.
After dinner, Cheng Zhongqian stayed to ask questions as a matter of course, while Cheng Yun and Ling Bao stayed for a while before returning to the village.
As she said, after returning home, Lingbao went to tell the village chief about the matter. The fungus is delicious and good for the body. It is profitable and harmless to grow it, so why not do it?
