The older apprentice knew very well that Li Xiqiang had a lot of power in his hands, and he could decide whether they would eat bran and become a pharmacist in the future, or become a doctor with chicken, duck and fish, so no one dared to question Xu Xiaole directly—maybe he would need more advice from Xu Xiaole, the senior brother, in the future.

However, a person who has not studied medicine directly catches medicine, which is really unruly, so these apprentices still report to the pharmacist.

The pharmacist does not have the hierarchical chain of contempt like the doctor, but the status is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

The great pharmacist of Changchun Hall is surnamed Lu, and people call him Pharmacist Lu. Pharmacist Lu is in charge of the affairs of the entire Changchun Hall involving medicinal materials, although the treatment is not as good as Li Xiqiang, but the status and power and responsibility are much heavier than Li Xiqiang.

The pharmacist was dressed in a short coat and trousers, a pair of soaked straw sandals on his feet, with the strange smell of various medicines, and two unknown herb crumbs stuck in his hair towel, just like the shabby house selling coolies under the Guangfu Bridge.

At this moment, Pharmacist Lu stood in front of Li Xiqiang and Xu Xiaole, as if he was facing the owner—neither Li Xiqiang nor Xu Xiaole got up.

Li Xiqiang felt superior and disdained to get up.

Xu Xiaole felt that he had done a good deed, but he was treated like a criminal and was very unhappy.

Pharmacist Lu didn't mind the rudeness of the two, and said: "Everyone is an insider, and the medicine is poisonous, but if you catch it wrong, it is a major matter related to your life." The rule passed down by the ancestor is that you can't go to the counter to grab medicine if you don't learn it for three years, because you're afraid of going on a business trip. I heard that Xiaole, you give people medicine, so I have to talk to you about it. ”

Yao Shi Lu has a high status in Changchun Hall, but he is very cold. Gu Xuan thought at first that he was reluctant to give up to the old master and had prejudices against him, and after asking a few old guys, he learned that Lu Yaoshi had always been cold and indifferent, rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Xu Xiaole has been here these days, and he has only nodded to Pharmacist Lu. Even if he took the initiative to say hello, Pharmacist Lu didn't pay attention to him every time.

Hearing that Pharmacist Lu didn't blame him, Xu Xiaole finally felt better in his heart. He stood up and said, "The woman was so anxious just now, and the two guys on the counter didn't know how to grab the medicine, so I arrested it." ”

Pharmacist Lu said: "Do you know medicinal materials? ”

Xu Xiaole said: "Every day after closing, I ask Brother Chen to teach me to recognize medicine. ”

Pharmacist Lu glanced back at Chen Mingyuan.

Chen Mingyuan's scalp was a little numb. He answered all questions about Xu Xiaole, completely to curry favor with Li Xiqiang, and by the way, he formed a friendship with the future "senior brother". However, he learned medicine from Pharmacist Lu, who was like half of his master - except that he did not have a proper apprenticeship.

Without the permission of Pharmacist Lu, he passed on his knowledge to outsiders, which made Chen Mingyuan very worried.

Chen Mingyuan pretended to be relaxed and said, "I have this little skill, where can I teach Brother Xu." It was Brother Xu who was capable of himself, and he recognized all the medicinal materials in the shop in a few days. ”

Xu Xiaole didn't know that Chen Mingyuan was dissociating himself, and felt that Brother Chen was really polite when he spoke. Of course, to tell the truth, what Chen Mingyuan can teach him is really limited, and it was indeed dug up in a few days.

Pharmacist Lu nodded and asked Xu Xiaole, "What kind of medicine did that person catch just now?" ”

Xu Xiaole said: "Keel and Astragalus." He casually reported the location of the drawer where the two medicinal herbs were located.

Pharmacist Lu was expressionless and said, "It's not enough to just look at the name brand on the drawer, how do you know that the name brand matches the medicinal materials?" ”

Xu Xiaole said secretly: Then you have to ask those pharmacists under you why they put the medicinal materials in the wrong drawer. Although he was slanderous in his heart, he still described the characteristics of the dragon bone and the astragalus one by one, proving that he did know these two herbs.

Pharmacist Lu quietly listened to Xu Xiaole's words, and only said, "You come." ”

Li Xiqiang was about to make a color: You pharmacist dare to instruct my apprentice! Who knew that Xu Xiaole had already left with Pharmacist Lu, and he didn't have any sense of superiority at all, so angry that Li Xiqiang blew his beard again.

The reason why Xu Xiaole is so obedient is because he keenly found a temperament in Lu Yaoshi that is very close to that of his uncle.

It is a kind of firmness that is not disturbed by the outside world, upholds the original heart, and has the calmness and detachment of refined skills.

This made Xu Xiaole feel that Pharmacist Lu was more worthy of respect than Master Li Xiqiang, and he didn't pay attention to the old pharmacist's "unkindness" at all.

Pharmacist Lu lifted the partition, entered the counter, and said to Xu Xiaole, "You turn around first." ”

Xu Xiaole turned around obediently, and had already guessed what Pharmacist Lu meant: This is to take medicinal materials out to take the school exam.

Xu Xiaole quickly passed the smell of medicinal materials in his mind, and secretly said in his heart: I really look down on me, what a big deal.

He soon heard the sound of the medicine drawers being opened one by one behind him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly: Let you see what a genius is!

Xu Xiaole couldn't see Pharmacist Lu's movements with his back to the counter, but the other Changchun Hall guys could see it clearly, and their eyes widened in surprise, and their mouths couldn't close for a long time.

They clearly saw that Yao Shi Lu had taken out a little medicine powder from each drawer and mixed it in the copper tray.

Yes, the end of the medicine.

All kinds of medicinal materials, whether raw or pharmaceutical, whether they are minerals or plants, will inevitably leave debris in the drawer. If it is a whole medicine, as long as you have a few years of experience, you can distinguish the difference between keel and gypsum. If it's just the end of the medicine, the keel and the gypsum are infinitely close.

There are at least fifty kinds of medicine powders such as keel and gypsum, which are infinitely close, in the entire medicine warehouse of Changchun Hall.
