Xiao Shao also comforted her by saying, "Master, it usually takes three or two years to recognize medicinal materials before they start to memorize their medicinal properties."
This was only shortened because Zhou Liru was Zhou Man's apprentice and niece. An ordinary apprentice would have to work in a medicine shop for two years before he could officially start learning to identify medicinal materials.
Even if he is a member of the Zheng family, it will be the same.
Man Bao had a look of regret on his face, but Zhou Liru breathed a sigh of relief. Her sister-in-law had really scared her just now, because after talking about it for a long time, she only remembered that the medicine was called Astragalus, and the rest was useless.
, I can’t remember anything about it.
It turns out that it’s not that she is too stupid, but that my sister-in-law is too smart.
Sure enough, she was still normal.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da is now slightly worried. Can Zhou Man really teach Zheng Gu well?
He sighed, waved to Man Bao and said, "Forget it, I'll teach her how to identify medicinal materials."
The Zheng family has been doctors for generations, and they have their own way of teaching their disciples, which is many times better than Man Bao, a childish teacher who takes things for granted.
For side branches like Zheng Shao, it is true that they need to start as apprentices to study in a pharmacy, but this is not the case for people like Zheng Gu.
That was the education I received from a famous teacher since I was a child.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da is much better at teaching children than Man Bao.
Doctor Gu sat aside and watched, thought for a while and then said, "Isn't this just a different child to teach?"
He turned to look at Man Bao and said, "You have made a lot of money. You handed over a disciple who knows nothing to the big shopkeeper, accepted a disciple who can basically sit in the hall, and also accepted three apprenticeship gifts."
Man Bao thought it was true, so he looked at shopkeeper Zheng Da.
Doctor Gu couldn't help but laugh, "Big shopkeeper, you are smart all your life, you are at a loss this time, right? Hahaha——"
Shopkeeper Zheng Da:......
He blew his beard and said: "This is a win-win situation. What is a loss? Do you understand what a win-win situation is? Doctor Zhou, do you think so?"
Man Bao nodded, saying that she would take good care of Zheng Gu.
Then she hesitated and said: "Then I will leave Li Ru to you. From now on, she will learn medicinal herbs from you every day?"
Shopkeeper Zheng Da: "...Easy to talk about, easy to talk about."
Man Bao simply left Zhou Liru alone, and then asked Dr. Liu to copy the medical records. He looked at Xiao Shao's notes during this period, gave him some pointers, and then took the two of them to squat at the door and wait for the patient to come.
If there is a patient who is suitable for Xiao Shao, she will check his pulse and try to prescribe a prescription. Occasionally, Dr. Liu will feel the pulse if she is interested. Man Bao will finally take his pulse and prescribe a prescription. Because it takes too long, Man Bao usually has to chat with others.
Wait a little longer and give more instructions, so that the patient will not feel resentful.
This is what Dr. Ji taught her.
He said that patients who see a doctor will never resent the doctor for speaking little to him, but only those waiting behind will resent the doctor in front for being too slow.
But there are few patients at the moment, so there is no need to worry.
With his two new disciples taking over all the remaining patients in the pharmacy, Doctor Gu felt relaxed and sat leisurely waiting for lunch.
After lunch, Man Bao assigned Xiao Shao a new homework and asked Dr. Liu to copy the medical records. When he raised his head to face Zheng Gu who was staring at her, Man Bao hesitated and said: "I will take my nephews with me in the afternoon.
Go to the academy to register, do you want to follow?"
Zheng Gu:......
He thought about it and agreed.
His father is going to hand over the medicine cabinet to someone else anyway, so it would be nice for him to go out for a walk. It would be boring to stay in the medicine store all day.
So Zheng Gu and Man Bao left together.
Man Bao took Zheng Gu back to Changqing Lane and solemnly introduced him to Mr. Zhuang, "Sir, this is the eldest disciple I have accepted. Zheng Gu, I call him Master."
Mr. Zhuang:……
Without any psychological pressure, Zheng Gu bowed his hands and respectfully shouted: "Disciple and grandson pays homage to the master."
Mr. Zhuang's heart trembled slightly. He looked at Man Bao and then at Zheng Gu, but his expression remained tense. He touched his body and didn't find any gifts, so he said to San Tou, who was also staring at him: "Get up right now."
Come on, go to my room and get a set of the Four Treasures of the Study Room."
Mr. Zhuang likes to give people the Four Treasures of the Study the most, because they also like to give them to him and he has a lot of them in his house.
After finding a school for Zhou Lixue and the others yesterday, he gave each of them a set. He knew where it was.
Zhou Lixue turned around and ran out. He carried a set of the four treasures of the study and gave them to Zheng Gu. Then he stood next to his sister-in-law and looked at him. He couldn't help but ask, "So, sister-in-law, what should we call him?"
Man Bao said: "Call me Brother Zheng?"
"We also call our husband sir," Zhou Lixue said, "so shouldn't we be one generation older than him?"
He was eager to have people call him Uncle Master or something like that.
Man Bao said: "Li Ru also worships me as his teacher. He is of the same generation as Li Ru."
Zhou Lixue said: "If the third sister talks about the third sister, if we talk about ours, we will talk about it from the husband."
Zheng Gu, who was holding the Four Treasures of the Study, couldn't help but said: "Even if we talk about it from Master, we are all peers. Aren't you Master's nephew?"
Zhou Lixue insisted, "We are talking about it from Mr. Zhuang."
Zheng Gu said at a loss for words: "Master, the discussion here also starts from the master."
Man Bao also hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, and poked his head and said: "If you have the ability, go and accept a disciple by yourself. If you have nothing to do, read more books, you know?"
Mr. Zhuang coughed lightly.
Man Bao immediately put down his hand and stood aside obediently.
Mr. Zhuang hasn't calmed down yet. How old is Man Bao, and he actually accepts a disciple?
Although I know that she teaches people medical skills outside, but... this is different from accepting a disciple.
Mr. Zhuang rubbed his forehead and said: "Okay, don't you still want to go to Wulang to see the academy? You go first and talk about it after you come back from the academy."
He had to ask Man Bao how he usually taught people. There was a difference between simply teaching medical skills and accepting disciples.
The former can communicate with her about the same medical skills as she usually does, only focusing on technique; but the latter...
Mr. Zhuang did not expect that he not only had to worry about his disciples, but now he also had to worry about his disciples and grandchildren.
Man Bao and the others said goodbye and went to find Wu Lang in the restaurant, and together they went to Songhe Academy to register.
The busiest time of the restaurant has passed, and now most of the guests have almost finished eating and left.
Wu Lang leaned on the counter and talked to Man Bao when he had time, "You chose Songhe Academy? I think other schools are good, but Shu Xiu is not that expensive."
Man Bao said: "My husband and Bai Shan took a fancy to this together. Don't you still believe in their vision?"
"It's just a little more. Our family can't afford it," Man Bao said, "Hello, sir, and my classmates. They will be more powerful and earn more money in the future."
Wu Lang took the account book from Zhou Lijun and stuffed it into Manbao's hand, sighing: "Last night I asked Lijun to go to Songhe Academy, and half of the proceeds from the restaurant will be used for their studies."
Zhou Lixue on the side immediately said: "Don't worry, Fifth Uncle, from now on we can earn three melons and two dates by going to the bookstore to copy books."
Wu Lang thought for a while and then nodded, "That's okay. You'd better earn more. If you can earn enough money for your pen and ink, Uncle Wu will treat you to meat."
When it comes to studying, repairing is not the biggest expense. Books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones require a steady supply.
This does not include their food and clothing.
Wu Lang touched his chest, thinking that he would be an adult in a few years after finishing school, and that he would be able to earn money by then. This made him feel better.
