On the morning of June 20, Shen Tingyu got up early, and after his spirit was fresh, Shen Tingyu picked up a book and began to read hard. However, after reading for nearly an hour, Shen Tingyu's stomach suddenly became a little hungry. Because of the purchase of the house, the fifty taels of silver that Lord Yu gave him were less than ten taels at this time. In order to save flowers, Shen Tingyu's family has not eaten a lot in the past few days, and now they are starting to get hungry, which is simply torture for Shen Tingyu, who has been eating delicacies from the mountains and seas before.

I can't go on like this, it's a trivial thing for me to be hungry, but I can't let my parents be hungry with me, I have to think of a way to make money, at least I can't let my parents continue to starve, the taste of hunger is really uncomfortable, Shen Tingyu thought in his heart.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that Dr. Sun in the pharmacy was buying all kinds of medicinal materials recently, so he decided to try his luck in the mountains in the suburbs. He had heard that there were many precious herbs in the mountains on the outskirts, even hundred-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum had been discovered, and maybe he could pick up a bargain and sell it for a big price.

Just do it, Shen Tingyu put down the book in his hand, went to the kitchen and grabbed a steamed bun to eat to satisfy his hunger, then found a package, and walked towards the mountains on the outskirts.

The mountains are overgrown with weeds, and there are not only medicinal herbs in the mountains, but also many poisonous insects such as scorpions, centipedes, and spiders, and if you are not careful, you may be bitten and poisoned. Therefore, Shen Tingyu was always cautious, first using a long wooden stick to pick up the grass, and then observing it carefully, it was because of his caution that Shen Tingyu avoided the danger of being bitten by poisonous insects several times.

Shen Tingyu searched for a while, but only collected three angelicas, which made him a little disappointed, and just when he wanted to give up, he suddenly found something.

"Huh? This is? ”

Shen Tingyu opened the grass in front of him, but found that what caught his eye was a very strange plant, only to see that its appearance was human-like, orange and yellow, with many roots. Shen Tingyu didn't know that he had picked up a treasure, yes, this was a ginseng, and the vintage seemed to be very high. However, before picking ginseng, there was still a problem that he needed to solve first.

Because he found that there was a huge golden spider web on the trunk of a tree next to the ginseng, and there was a colorful spider about the size of a broad bean on the spider web, Shen Tingyu knew that this was the famous golden silk spider, which was highly poisonous, so he had to think of a way to kill the spider first, otherwise it would be troublesome to be bitten by it when picking ginseng for a while.

Pregnant! Maybe you don't need to kill this spider, you can use the strategy of 'diverting the spider from the web'. Shen Tingyu thought about it in his heart and had already made up his mind.

Next, Shen Tingyu hurriedly caught three grasshoppers in the grass next to him, pulled their legs down, and gently threw them on the edge of the cobweb, but far away from the ginseng.

Sure enough, the golden silk spider saw this kind of 'pie in the sky' happening right under his nose, how could he not be in a hurry to eat first? So it hurriedly spread its eight slender legs and crawled towards the three 'lambs to the slaughter' that had landed in its net.

At this time, Shen Tingyu took advantage of the gap when the golden silk spider was eating, and hurriedly dug up the ginseng and put it in the carry-on package. So he left the place quickly.

Next, Shen Tingyu searched alone in the mountains and forests for a while, but found nothing except seven heavy buildings. Because he didn't want to look for it anymore, he took the herbs he had picked down the mountain and walked briskly to the medicine shop.

Shen Tingyu soon came to the pharmacy, and after explaining his intention to Dr. Sun, he opened the package containing the medicinal materials and let Dr. Sun check it.

"Hey, this ginseng is not a small year, look at this color, and then look at this beard, it is about two hundred years old." Dr. Sun picked up the ginseng and looked at it again and again.

"Then what does Dr. Sun think these medicinal materials are worth?" Shen Tingyu asked.

"I will count you fifty taels of silver for this two-hundred-year-old ginseng, and as for these seven heavy buildings and three angelicas, even if you have five taels of silver, a total of fifty-five taels of silver, what do you think?"

"This price is fair and feasible, and the doctor will take it."

After Shen Tingyu accepted the silver tael, he was originally going to leave directly, but at this time, a thought popped up in his mind. He thought of the cost of medicine for his mother's illness when she was sick, and he needed five taels of silver at a time. He thought about whether to follow Dr. Sun to learn medical skills, so that he could make some money to make a living while treating diseases and saving people, after all, he couldn't go up the mountain to collect medicine every time, and ginseng was not a cabbage on the side of the road, and he grabbed a lot of it.

"How is Ling Ci doing lately?" Doctor Sun asked Shen Tingyu.

Shen Tingyu hurriedly stopped thinking and replied: "Thank you Dr. Sun for your concern, my mother is no longer in trouble, I remember that when my mother was sick, because I didn't know anything about the art of disambiguation, I could only watch from the sidelines, I was really ashamed." Therefore, I want to worship Dr. Sun as a teacher here, learn some medical skills, even if I can't help the world, I can help others a little. ”

"Oh, Shen Gongzi wants to learn, the old man will definitely teach him, but this matter of studying medicine still needs to look at talent, sloppy, otherwise, I will give Shen Gongzi a pharmacopoeia, Shen Gongzi can go back to learn the above pharmacology first, and then come to the old man here in ten days, test your results, and then consider whether to accept apprentices." As he spoke, Doctor Sun took out a book from the drawer and handed it to Shen Tingyu.

"Please rest assured that Doctor Sun will definitely study pharmacology carefully."

"Alas, Shen Gongzi, it's not that the old man doesn't want to teach you, it's just that if you don't have talent in medicine, then you will only waste time, Shen Gongzi, you have excellent talent, and now this autumn exam is approaching, it's really the old man I don't want to delay Shen Gongzi's future."

"Doctor Sun, Tingyu understands that you don't have to." Shen Tingyu said.

"It's good that you understand, and there is a need for some lotus seeds in the pharmacy recently, and I hope that Shen Gongzi will inquire more about the news of lotus seeds on weekdays."

"I'll pay attention, if there's nothing going on, then Tingyu will leave first." With that, Shen Tingyu made a gesture and turned to leave.

On the way home, when Shen Tingyu walked by a place, he suddenly heard music curling up, like a heavenly sound. When I looked up, I was greeted by an attic that I had never seen before, presumably built recently. I saw that this attic was colorful, the building was carved with pairs of mandarin ducks, and there was a plaque hanging above, with three big characters "Xiaoxiang Pavilion" on it.

Looking at the beautiful attic in front of him, coupled with the pleasant sound of the piano coming from inside, Shen Tingyu suddenly became interested, and couldn't help but open his legs and walk towards the attic.
