Today is the third day of Li Yan's return from Changfu.
The Chang family's silver had already been delivered, and Chang Liang didn't dare to deceive Wu Chang if he wanted to come.
30,000 taels of silver, packed in more than a dozen large boxes, were carried into the Lu family's pharmacy.
Li Yan took off the gourd on the door early and closed the door.
Li Huan was blindfolded, and there were various herbs in front of him.
The medicine cabinet is two meters high, and the table in front of it is also one meter high.
Li Yan drank tea quietly on the side, watching Lihuan's small body busy coming and going, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.
The medicine cabinet above was out of reach of Huan, so he took out a little of each medicinal herb from the medicine cabinet below and put it on a white paper.
After a while, there was a circle of white paper on the wooden table.
Li Huan's small body grabbed the edge of the wooden table with both hands, and his head leaned forward hard, straining to smell the medicinal herbs on the table.
Slowly read in his mouth: "Angelica, schisandra, bezoar, musk......"
Li Yan poured tea and looked at Lihuan quietly.
Since he is his apprentice, he naturally wants to teach him the way of medicine.
"Master, I made a note of it."
Li Yan raised his eyebrows and said solemnly: "Lihuan, the way of medicine is the most rigorous, and there must not be the slightest deviation in identifying medicinal materials, don't worry." ā
Li Huan nodded innocently: "Yes, Master, Li Huan remembers." ā
After speaking, he continued to blindfold and continued to smell and remember.
Li Yan looked at it for a while and found that something was wrong.
When Lihuan was smelling, he didn't smell it from one side of the medicine cabinet to the other.
Instead, take a few steps to the left, look down and sniff it, and then call out the name.
Walk a few steps to the right and look down to smell it, and then call out the name of the herb.
So repeatedly, Li Yan saw the fame.
Lihuan, do you really remember everything?
You know, remembering a taste with your nose is completely different from remembering what it looks like with your eyes.
Li Yandao: "Lihuan, have you really written it all?" ā
Li Huan took off the strip of cloth on his eyes, thought about it carefully, and then nodded: "I have memorized it all, Master, my nose seems to have been born with a more sensitive nose than others." ā
Li Yan said curiously: "So, what else have you smelled?" ā
Li Huan thought about it, and the young man recalled seriously.
"Master, when we met that day, I smelled the medicinal herbs on your body."
"Oh? What herbs"
Li Huan thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said, "I can't tell the taste of the herbs, but it's the taste of the herbs." When I was in Nanzawa, I saw the doctors who gave the traveling doctors, and they smelled the same way. ā
Li Yan was thoughtful, he had always been a person He could find out that Lihuan was a coincidence, and it turned out that Lihuan came out by himself.
What a clever boy!
A smile appeared on Li Yan's face: "Go on"
"The gentleman in the private school has a strong smell of ink on his body. The aunt in the fat powder shop always smells of fragrant powder......"
Li Yan listened to these flavors named by Li Huan himself, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger.
"And what else can you smell now, besides the smell of herbs?"
Li Huan's small nose fluttered twice: "Master, the gourd on the door is not filled with medicine, it should be wine." ā
Li Yan was stunned, he thought that Lihuan's sensitivity to taste was the memory of taste.
Now it seems that there is much more than that, there is also the discovery of taste.
The gourd that was originally hanging outside the door was hung by him in the door because the pharmacy was closed.
But even so, the gourd was a few feet away from the counter where Lihuan was.
Besides, the gourd has been hanging for so many years, and the smell of wine that can be emitted has almost dispersed.
Even so, can you smell it?
Li Huan looked at Li Yan's contemplative appearance, and was a little happy in his heart.
Because of the young man's temperament, Li Huan felt extremely happy to be recognized by the master.
From the master's expression, he could guess that what he said was right.
"Master, that wine should be our Nanze Steamed Jiang Immortal, and it tastes like this in Nanze Restaurant."
Li Yan reluctantly accepted this answer, otherwise, this kid would be too demonic.
On the rivers and lakes, there is a person nicknamed Jade Cat, who is also extremely sensitive to taste.
This person is rumored to be able to sniff out dangerous and safe smells.
Li Yan naturally doesn't believe in this, and people who practice medicine are all atheists.
For now, it's better to figure out Lihuan's nose first.
Li Yan asked, "What else can you smell if it's farther away?" ā
Li Yan deliberately opened the door, but the gourd inside the door was not hung up.
"Master, I smell the silver."
Li Yan visually inspected it, and the box containing silver in the store was firmly covered, and the distance from Huan was slightly farther than the wine gourd.
Li Yan nodded, fortunately, not too sensational.
Without waiting for Li Yan to speak, Li Huan said again: "No, Master, it's Uncle Cheng's taste." ā
"It's closed so early, it seems that I've made a lot of money from the Chang family!" As soon as Lihuan's words fell, Cheng Xuanwen walked in from outside the door.
Li Yan was still immersed in shock, he didn't want to pay attention to him, and Xuanwen didn't want him to answer.
Cheng Xuanwen walked in front of Lihuan with his hands behind his back.
Two days ago, when he saw Li Huan for the first time, Li Huan said, "Since he is an uncle, there should be a gift." ā
Cheng Xuanwen was suddenly shocked, and sighed, Li Huan's method of plucking the goose was really like himself, so he shouted for Li Yan to give him his apprentice.
Although Li Yan was finally driven out of the pharmacy, it did not affect his love for Lihuan at all.
Cheng Xuanwen ignored Li Yan and walked straight to Lihuan.
Li Yan knew that Lihuan didn't hate Cheng Xuanwen.
Li Yan took out the second teacup, poured tea for Cheng Xuanwen, put it aside and ignored it, and continued to drink tea.
Li Huan said hello to Cheng Xuanwen, and Cheng Xuanwen said, "Li Huan, are you identifying medicinal materials?" ā
As he spoke, Cheng Xuanwen picked up a strip of cloth and blindfolded his eyes.
"Well, this is a reed flower, and this is a white snake grass, right?"
Cheng Xuanwen took down the cloth strip and looked at Lihuan proudly.
Li Huan said disdainfully: "Master said, you are also a doctor, you naturally have to know this." Besides, I can do this too, it's not that powerful. ā
Cheng Xuanwen looked at Li Yan curiously, and seeing that Li Yan did not refute, he immediately stood up and said:
"Lihuan, is your master very strict with you? If you can't carry it, you have to hit the board, right? Or, do you think about it and worship me as a teacher? ā
Lihuan's eyes became even more disdainful: "Uncle Cheng, did you bring a gift this time?" ā
Cheng Xuanwen became arrogant again, and Cheng Xuanwen took out a wooden card from his arms.
Li Yan smiled, sure enough, with Cheng Xuanwen's nature of not letting carpenters make money, this gift should also be made by himself.
Cheng Xuanwen said: "Your master accepted you as an apprentice, I'm afraid he hasn't given you the master's token, take this, in the future, you will also be my disciple of Yaowang Mountain." ā
Li Huan curiously stretched out his hand to take the wooden card.
Only then did Li Yan see clearly that the front of the wooden sign was engraved with a vermilion medicine character, and the reverse side was a happy character.
Li Yan stood up, and his face became solemn: "This brand, you can't ask for it." ā
Cheng Xuanwen didn't let it go at all: "Li Shenstick, it's over, right!" What happened back then, it was all my master's fault? Besides, it was your master who expelled Yaowang Mountain, not you, according to the rules, you are still a disciple of Yaowangshan, and now that you have accepted an apprentice, you are naturally also a disciple of my Yaowangshan. ā
His master is the current mountain master of Yaowang Mountain, Su Yunding.
And Li Yan's master, Lu Ting, is Su Yunding's senior brother.
Li Yan didn't answer, and took out a wooden plaque from his arms.
This wooden plaque is the same size as Lihuan's, but it is a little more quaint than his.
What's more, the piece played by Li is much thinner.
The wooden sign is boxy, with a pitch-black word on the front, but the back is flat, and nothing is engraved.
Cheng Xuanwen looked at the wooden card carefully, and was stunned for a long time: "You actually split the wooden card!" ā
