Chapter 50: Internship at the order of the teacher
Following Liang Lianyuan's instructions, Zhang Yi went to a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Dongdan after class.
"Jucaotang, this is it." Zhang Yi put the pieces of paper in his hand away and walked in.
It is not an easy thing to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in a prime location like Youzhou City. It is an ancient building, but it has been newly decorated inside. Being able to sit here requires very high medical skills.
"Hello, the doctor is closed today. If you need anything, you can come back tomorrow." Standing at the reception desk at the door was a man in his thirties, wearing a gray robe and wearing eyes.
After Zhang Yi paid homage to Liang Lianyuan, he got to know some things about traditional Chinese medicine. For example, in some medical clinics, a person's status in the medical clinic can be distinguished by his clothes.
Gray Robe is an entry-level apprentice. It can only be said that the teacher has just agreed to use it, and he has not really worshiped the master.
The brown robe is a formal apprentice, and has begun to learn medical skills from the teacher, and can even follow the teacher on medical visits, etc.
The blue robe has a very high status, which proves that this person has not only become a master, but has also been recognized by the master, and has successfully become a disciple.
Since ancient times, China has had very strict requirements for apprenticeship, not only in traditional Chinese medicine, but also in other professions. However, some of the methods for distinguishing are the same, and some are different. Taking traditional Chinese medicine as an example, apprentices can only say that they are in a medicine hall or a medical clinic.
To put it simply, workers are just people who make tea and water and do some sundries.
But a master and apprentice can say that they work in a certain medicine hall or medical clinic. With a specific door sign, the value of this person will also be improved, and people's trust in him will be different. Apprentices cannot
The person who reported to the portal, because the portal has not recognized him as a person, if the false report is known, he will no longer need to work in this industry in the future, and other industries with teachers will not dare to accept him.
But neither apprentice nor master is as good as a real apprentice, that is, an apprentice recognized and allowed by the master to become a master. Only such an apprentice can tell outsiders that he is someone's apprentice.
Of course, with the changes of the times, these ancient rules are no longer so strict. Many people can say that so and so is my teacher just by listening to a certain master's speech. I learned a lot from him.
Even in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, few people still use the tradition of distinguishing the color of robes. Only those old medicine halls with a history of hundreds of years or some aristocratic families continue to use this ancient tradition.
The Jucaotang is the place where this tradition is used, and although the person at the counter is in charge of money, he is only an apprentice.
"Hello, I'm here for an internship. Can you help me find Mr. Zhang Zhou?" Zhang Yi smiled. There is also a registration system in the hospital, just like the hospital's special expert account, which has a quota.
So if you come later, you won't be able to register. Although there are still people waiting for treatment at this time, if you come again, you won't be able to register.
"Internship?" The man's eyes lit up and he shouted to another young man wearing a gray robe inside: "Xiao Wang, go tell Director Zhang that the intern is here."
When Xiao Wang heard this, he glanced at Zhang Yi, then turned around and went upstairs.
Those who were taking medicine in the medical center also cast their eyes on Zhang Yi at the door.
Everyone already knows that there will be interns visiting today, and from what Zhang Zhou said to these people, it can be seen that this person's origin is not simple. A person who can make the old museum owner care so much, even
For this intern, the old library owner sat in the hall to wait in person today, which left these people without any ideas or interest.
But when they saw Zhang Yi, their faces were full of doubts and disdain, as if the person who came was far different from what they imagined.
The traditional Chinese medicine industry is very special. It is not easy to make some achievements in this industry. You need to work and study at the bottom for a long time. Those who can successfully become a master and be accepted as a master and apprentice must be at least thirty years old.
But when they saw Zhang Yi, these people immediately began to doubt that such a young man would be so valued by Mr. Zhang Zhou. It was really puzzling. Even if this person had been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine since he was born,
But after more than ten years, why did the old owner of the museum, who had rarely appeared in public, come forward in person?
Under the attention of everyone, Zhang Yi also noticed that something was wrong. This feeling was very bad, because the looks given to him by these people were not very friendly, but seemed to be full of hostility and rejection.
"Where is Lao Liang's apprentice? Let me take a look, hahaha, after so many years, I finally saw this old boy accepting an apprentice. I thought I would never see this day in my lifetime." At this time, a man was full of energy.
came the sound, followed by the sonorous and powerful sound of coming down the stairs.
An old man wearing a white robe, with white hair, but no wrinkles on his face, and his face was glowing red, walked down the stairs. Just the rhythm of walking up the stairs was surprising. An old man
, the body is still so strong, and it seems that he is very proficient in maintaining health.
The information Liang Lianyuan wrote on the paper given to Zhang Yi was very simple, nothing more than his name and address. But only the first Zhang Zhou had his age written after his name, which was ninety-two years old!
Just seeing such an age, it is difficult for Zhang Yi to imagine the old man in front of him. No matter how well-maintained a ninety-two-year-old person is, his face cannot be without vicissitudes of life. However, this old man has nothing but white hair.
There is nothing else about him that makes people think he is an old man. Even if he has a bald head and tells people that he is only in his fifties, no one would believe him.
"Are you Xiao Zhang? Come on, let me take a good look." After Zhang Zhou came down, he saw Zhang Yi at the door at first sight and walked over enthusiastically.
This behavior of the old museum owner surprised others even more, and they even began to wonder if this kid was a legendary genius child. It was really puzzling that Zhang Zhou could take him so seriously at such a young age.
And who is the Lao Liang that the old owner just mentioned? Lao Liang’s apprentice? Moreover, he is an Lao Liang who has never had an apprentice. Is there such a person in the traditional Chinese medicine community?
"Ah!" A man in blue robe who was standing behind the long desk grabbing medicine exclaimed softly, and said to another man in blue robe beside him: "The old Liang mentioned by the old museum owner, couldn't he be Mr. Liang Lianyuan, the master of traditional Chinese medicine?"
"Oops! When you mentioned it, I remembered it. I also heard that Mr. Liang accepted a very young apprentice, who is still a student now. Could it be this one? There is nothing special about him."
"If he wasn't Mr. Liang's apprentice, how could the old clinic owner come to the medical clinic today? And he was in such a good mood that he opened five numbers..."
"Don't stop what you are doing. Look, the old owners are coming down. Soon we will all know."
After everyone talked softly, they began to work hard, but the corner of their eyes and one ear were all directed towards the door.
"Junior Zhang Yi has met senior Zhang. Master mentioned you yesterday. Although I have done enough psychological work, I was still shocked when I saw you." Zhang Yi bowed politely.
"Haha, you are really good at talking. This old boy, Lao Liang, finally has someone to inherit his mantle. I am really happy that he can send you to me." Zhang Zhou said while grabbing Zhang Yi's hand.
: "You and I have the same surname, so there's no need to call me Senior Zhang. Just call me Grandpa."
"This... junior really doesn't dare." Zhang Yi had black lines on his head. Sure enough, as the master said, apart from treating traditional Chinese medicine, this Zhang Zhou is an old naughty boy in other aspects. It's okay to call him grandpa. If grandpa still
He is only over seventy years old when he is alive, but the person in front of him is already over ninety.
But the key issue now is not the age issue. I am Liang Lianyuan's apprentice, and Liang Lianyuan is my father. If I was fooled by such enthusiasm and called him grandpa, what would the master do? He was inexplicably demoted, even if
There are no rules in this sect, so I'm afraid it's inevitable that I'll get slapped with a slap in the face.
"Oh, by the way, if you were my grandson, then Lao Liang would become my son. No, no, no, I'll still call you uncle. Seniors and so on seem distant." Zhang Zhou realized the problem with his language in a timely manner.
So he quickly added.
Zhang Yi felt even more embarrassed. Is this how seniority is arranged? To recognize a godfather, buy one and get one free and help the master recognize the godfather? Why is this ninety-year-old man so shameless? But since
After Zhang Zhou said this, Zhang Yi got off the donkey and called out "Uncle Zhang".
"Okay, very good, haha!" Zhang Zhou seemed to love to laugh. Maybe this was his way of maintaining health, or maybe he was really happy today. He took Zhang Yi's hand and walked upstairs.
Zhang Yi's attitude was really like that of a grandpa who beamed when he saw his grandson.
After the two left, the others looked at each other in confusion, and no one said anything. Because they had already confirmed that this young man was the disciple of Liang Lianyuan, the master of traditional Chinese medicine, which is now the hottest topic in the traditional Chinese medicine community.
I didn't expect this person to show up at my place of work, which is really exciting. Firstly, I hope to see what is so special about Liang Lianyuan's apprentice, but more importantly, I still hope that Zhang Yi can make a fool of himself.
There are more than forty apprentices, masters, and apprentices in the Jucaotang. Among them, there are also people who have gone to worship Liang Lianyuan, but in the end they were not recognized. For example, a senior brother here has already put on a black robe at the age of thirty-three.
Fourth senior brother Zheng Huichun, who once approached Liang Lianyuan to become his disciple but was rejected, is now doing well.
If Liang Lianyuan really had no intention of accepting a disciple, he wouldn't say anything. But now that he heard that Liang Lianyuan had accepted a disciple, and that he was a young student, he immediately felt very dissatisfied.
He was able to put on a black robe at the age of thirty-three, which is already considered rare in the Chinese medicine world. He has always had some status, whether in Jucaotang or in the Chinese medicine world.
Therefore, he had always thought that it was a huge loss that Liang Lianyuan did not take him in. Looking at his reputation and medical skills now, he was on par with some of his predecessors. If Liang Lianyuan had taken him in, he would have felt honored as well.
But when he heard that Liang Lianyuan had accepted a disciple, he felt strong unwillingness in his heart. How could a young man be accepted as a disciple by Liang Lianyuan, but he was turned away?
When Zhang Yi followed Zhang Zhou into the curator's office, the expert clinic on the side slowly opened. A man wearing a black robe and a handsome face stood at the door, looking at the curator's office expressionlessly, with a look in his eyes.
