Six months have passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Liang is now the official apprentice of Shen Qing Shen's shopkeeper. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSix months ago, after all kinds of prevarication failed, Li Liang had no choice but to stay. The shopkeeper Shen was very happy that day, and in the afternoon, he asked Shen An, the old account room, to arrange for him to live and get food, so that the old man could be busy enough. In the evening, the shopkeeper Shen also had dinner with Li Liang, and he drank some wine, and he didn't know what to celebrate.
Three days later, Li Liang's wife came, and cried when she saw her son, Li Liang thought that she could go home with her mother, but she didn't expect that the old lady resolutely supported the opinion of the shopkeeper Shen, and repeatedly did Li Liang's ideological work, and told him that as long as she studied her art hard, she would be able to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, and she would be able to hug her grandson as soon as possible. Li Liang was speechless for a long time about the logic of the old lady, and finally could only obey the fate of the old lady under the repeated insistence of the old lady.
Li Liangniang lived in the Shen family's pharmacy for ten days, until she saw her son officially perform the apprenticeship ceremony, and then returned to the village with tears in her eyes.
When Shen was young, he failed to pass the show twice in a row, and met the immortals on the way back to his hometown in the doldrums, learned a few simple fairy arts, and since then he can't stop, and he is obsessed with the immortal book given by the immortals all day long. Probably because of his qualifications, his immortal arts stopped only a few levels in the first few levels of the primary rank. Over the years, he has not learned much about the ability to cure diseases and save people, but he has memorized all the medicinal materials, as long as there is a record in the immortal book, he has tried his best to find it, and all of them have been brought to the store, and there are many types, so this Shen family pharmacy has slowly become a small wholesale store of medicinal materials in several nearby towns, and the business is okay.
From the day of the formal apprenticeship, Li Liang's main job is to memorize the names of medicinal materials, and he has to memorize more than 30 kinds of medicinal materials every day, such as origin, shape, medicinal properties, growth environment, etc., this time the nightlife is fulfilling, but Li Liang is also more depressed, and he goes back to the house every day like a primary school student to endorse the book, and it is all those difficult things to memorize, and the head is big. To be honest, people are reliable, in more than six months, nearly 700 kinds of medicinal materials, Li Liang actually memorized them all, including those annotations and analysis, of course, this is the manuscript given to him by the shopkeeper Shen, even Li Liang admires himself. Because he is honest by nature and not good at communicating, and there is a lot of work in this store, such as sorting out medicinal herbs, cleaning, cooking, laundry, etc., he does it, so Li Liang maintains a good style of taciturnity, basically working with his head bored, which makes Shen Shopkeeper and the old bookkeeper very satisfied.
At present, there are about 190 kinds of medicinal materials in the pharmacy, most of which are common medicinal materials, and they also have fixed sources, such as Li Mazi and the like, most of them are in the surrounding mountains and small villages, relying on picking some medicinal materials for other daily necessities, Li Liang's work classifies and counts them, and then bargains with these people in the old account room. As for the sales, there is no need to worry, because the variety is relatively complete, and at the beginning of each month, there will be other pharmacies to buy, Li Liang's job is to sort out the number according to the demand, report to the old account, and then the old man will bargain.
For six months, Shopkeeper Shen didn't teach Li Liang anything, so he gave him a manuscript and asked him to memorize it, and Li Liang would be tested every ten days or so, and most of the time he spent his time in the room studying the immortal book. Of course, with his down-to-earth learning performance, Li Liang will always be praised by the shopkeeper Shen, and his salary has also risen from one tael of silver to two taels of silver. As for the shopkeeper Shen, if there is a selection of "the most valuable otaku" in this era, then he will definitely be ranked in the top few.
That afternoon, Li Liang sorted out the medicinal materials, packed up the shop, and was about to cook, when the shopkeeper Shen walked to him at some point.
"Apprentice, are you done?" asked Shopkeeper Shen with concern.
"Oh, Master, I'm done, I'm going to make dinner now, do you have something to do with me?" Li Liang was a little surprised, but he was still very calm.
"Well, if you want to talk to you about something, you come with me. Shopkeeper Shen said mysteriously.
"Oh, okay," Li Liang replied.
When he came to the house, Shopkeeper Shen sat down in the main hall and began to look Li Liang up and down, his eyes full of mystery.
Li Liang was also a petty official in his previous life, and this can still be seen, he knows in his heart that the shopkeeper Shen has something to ask today, the in-depth kind. He humbly saluted the shopkeeper Shen first, then poured him another cup of tea, and then stood on the side in a proper manner. These actions made Shopkeeper Shen very satisfied, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled.
"Sit down, too. ”
"Master Xie. ”
"Hmm......" Shopkeeper Shen stroked his beard, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth was a little bigger.
"Disciple, I called you here today, because I have important things to tell you as a teacher. Shopkeeper Shen lowered his voice and said to Li Liang very solemnly.
"Listen carefully. Li Liang's attitude is still so sincere, which makes the shopkeeper Shen very useful.
"Twenty-two years ago, I went to Beijing to take the Xiucai exam, and the result was Sun Shan, hey, more than ten years of hard study, in the end I came to the bamboo basket to fetch water, and I didn't have the face to see my hometown again......" Li Liang knows this story, listening to what the old account room said, the old man's mouth is not very strict, and Li Liang is very honest, and he always likes to talk to him about gossip events. Every time, Li Liang listened silently, did not interrupt, did not interject, did not ask, and did what to do after speaking. It may be that the performance is too good, so that the old man finally found the legendary "confessional priest", or it may be that the old man thinks that Li Liang didn't understand at all and needs to explain in depth, so that he is more attentive, a story often has to be told more than a dozen times, which makes Li Liang very annoyed, and even wanted to talk to the shopkeeper Shen several times, whether the job of a part-time confessor priest should be raised again, this job is not a good job, there is a big fly around you all day, it is really uncomfortable, but slowly I endured it.
"You must know that after more than ten years of hard work, my father and mother have paid too much for my education, too much ......," Shen continued to recall the painful past.
"Hey, the past is unbearable!" After about three incense sticks, Shopkeeper Shen stopped recalling.
"Don't mention it, let's get down to business. Apprentice, accepting your apprenticeship for the teacher is to see that you are honest and honest, but there is another reason. ”
Shopkeeper Shen suddenly changed his attitude, and said to Li Liang with his eyes slightly narrowed and low.
"Uh... The apprentice is stupid, please teach the master. Li Liang has been thinking about this these days. The pharmacy guy, the apprentice of Shen Da's shopkeeper, according to the level of this era, Li Liang should have entered the well-off in one step, it was like a big gold brick falling from the sky, 100 people were on the ground, and he smashed his head, he didn't think it was a good thing, how could there be such a coincidental good thing, there must be a reason, no, it came......
Shopkeeper Shen glanced left and right, then stood up, walked to the door, glanced outside, closed the door, returned to his seat, took a nervous sip of tea, stretched out his neck, lowered his voice, and said, "Have you also been instructed by the immortal master?"
"What is an immortal master?" Li Liang was surprised. "It's over, Brother Zhou's exercises shouldn't be practiced, it's going to be seen so quickly, this is fatal, Shopkeeper Shen won't kill me, and then snatch the cheats, it's all played like this on TV." ”
"Oh, then why is your aura so majestic?Could it be that you have eaten any immortal fruits and herbs?" "Shopkeeper Shen was also surprised, Xiao Li Liang had not been guided by an immortal master, so where did his powerful spiritual power come from?
"Oh, that's right. Three years ago, I once went into the mountains to collect medicine, I wanted to exchange some money, but I didn't expect to get lost, I went around the mountains for a day and a night, because I brought little dry food, I wanted to pick some wild fruits to eat, I happened to see some red fruits on a tree, I was really hungry, I didn't know what it was, anyway, I ate it, and I didn't taste anything, and then later, I walked for a long time, and then I fainted......" Li Liang's immature voice began to make up the story for the second time.
"That's right...... Do you remember where the tree is?" asked Shopkeeper Shen nervously.
"I was lost and I don't remember where. Li Liang said distressedly.
"Oh......", Shopkeeper Shen leaned back in his chair, stroked his beard, and began to ponder. "If you want to say that a fool is really a fool, how can such a great creation let him catch up......?
Li Liang didn't disturb the shopkeeper Shen, and continued to sit honestly, but his face was slightly painful, obviously that experience made the child very unforgettable. Shopkeeper Shen glanced at Li Liang from time to time, and found that this child was very normal, and he believed his words for nine points.
After another two incense sticks, the sky was already a little dark, and the shopkeeper Shen suddenly became serious again, stretched his neck again, lowered his voice and said to Li Liang: "Apprentice, in the early years, I was instructed by the immortal master to get an immortal book, I don't know if you want to learn or not?"
"This... This one... , in vain... In vain... But it's up to the master to call the shots, but I don't know if I'm qualified?" Li Liang was very nervous when he heard this, and then he looked distressed, all of which fell into the eyes of the shopkeeper Shen.
"This is a naked test, the old guy still doesn't believe me, but he can also trust a person casually, isn't this really a **. Li Liang sighed in his heart.
