124. Pharmacy apprentice
The next day, Zhu Fatzi drove over to pick up Ling Li, and went to the Zhu family's Baoshantang Pharmacy to learn pharmacist theory and pharmaceutical technology from a third-level pharmacist named Chen Feng.
This Po Sin Tong Pharmacy is located on a commercial street and is also a five-storey building.
In addition to the decoration style of the faΓ§ade, it looks a little antique from the outside, and its internal structure and layout are similar to those of the Qingming Jishitang. The first floor deals in conventional medicine, the second floor deals in the medicines, medicinal materials, weapons and equipment and some spiritual materials needed for the cultivation of martial artists, and the third floor deals in high-grade pills, potions, and valuable instruments and equipment.
There seems to be a small auction house on the fourth floor, and an office area on the fifth floor.
Zhu Fatzi drove Ling Li into the backyard of Baoshan Hall, came to a delicate three-story building and said: "This is the laboratory of a pharmaceutical company, this pharmaceutical company is not only our industry, but also a joint venture between the ancestor and several other families with good relations. And the general pharmacists have a bit of a strange temper, and they are domineering when they speak, you follow their subordinates to learn, but you will not be treated special because of the ancestor's face, and you usually endure it more. β
Ling Li couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "I have been doing odd jobs during my school days, and you don't need to teach this kind of thing." "It's true that I've worked a lot in my two lives, and I've seen what kind of difficult supervisors to wait. Under normal circumstances, the more incompetent the small supervisor, the more he will be arrogant and speak with his waist crossed to show his prestige, but the big leader will speak and work in a much calmer tone. The same is true in the government, the county and section levels are very arrogant, and the big leaders above you, if you can see them, they are very kind when they speak, and sometimes they are like a family.
Po Shin Tong's pharmacy research and development laboratory has more than 50 pharmacists, and there are also more than 200 pharmacy apprentices in subordinate positions. There are also two types, one is the assistant of junior pharmacists, who helps to do some experiments or prepare for medicine, while most pharmaceutical apprentices are to put it bluntly.
Pharmacists above the third level have their own special laboratories, while most of the second-level pharmacists do experiments in a large public laboratory.
If you want to become a pharmacist apprentice, you need to learn basic medical science and pharmacology, memorize the properties and characteristics of 50,000 basic pharmaceutical ingredients, and match them with other medicinal materials to produce various reactions and effects......
The Chiyan Continent is vast, and there are countless types of medicinal materials known, and it is not easy to pass the assessment.
Of course, this kind of thing is still very simple for Ling Li.
With his current level of spiritual power, he didn't need to spend energy points to analyze the ingredients and characteristics of elixirs below the yellow rank and ordinary mortal-level medicinal materials, and he didn't need to specifically learn medicinal materials and pharmacological knowledge.
In order to become a full-fledged pharmacist, one must be able to use a variety of herbs to prepare first-class elixirs, and due to the different years of growth, the integrity of the herbs at the time of collection, and the amount of potency lost during storage, the number of herbs put into the same prescription varies greatly, and these experiences require a lot of practice to obtain.
As the saying goes, seeing a lot of knowledge, practice brings true knowledge, some things cannot be obtained from teachers and books at all, and it takes a lot of practice to understand, and the pharmacist himself relies on a large amount of medicinal materials and money to pile up.
Ling Li estimated that if he really participated in the assessment, he should have no problem passing the third-level pharmacist exam, after all, he had already refined several third-level body forging elixirs with simple kitchen utensils for his own cultivation.
It's just that low-key and modest are his usual style.
In a spacious laboratory-side office on the second floor, Ling Li met Pharmacist Chen Feng, a middle-aged man of medium stature, slightly chubby, and slightly bowed.
After entering the door, Pharmacist Chen was full of smiles and a kind atmosphere, and asked Ling Li and them to sit on the sofa first, and then he spoke: "The ancestor of the Zhu family has also specially explained your affairs, saying that he wants to take care of you." Listen to the ancestor of the Zhu family, you have learned a lot of knowledge of medicinal materials and pharmacology? β
Ling Li nodded: "It turns out that I have read some books on this subject, but I have not studied it systematically." β
Pharmacist Chen smiled after hearing this, "This is already good, I will arrange for you to familiarize yourself with the study in the library of the laboratory for a few days, and then start to officially arrange your study after passing the pharmacy apprenticeship exam." β
Ling Li also smiled and said, "Everything is up to you." β
Pharmacist Chen thought for a while, and then picked up the office phone on the table: "Mingcheng, you come to me." β
A moment later, a young man of about thirty years of age, who looked well-mannered, walked in.
"This is my helper Mingcheng, Mingcheng, this is Ling Li, you first tell him about the content and precautions of the pharmacy apprentice assessment, and arrange for him to read some books about this in the library first, and prepare. In a few days, test it first, and if you can, arrange for him to go to the Pharmaceutical Association and apply for the pharmacy apprenticeship assessment. β
Ling Li said goodbye to Pharmacist Chen and Zhu Fatzi, and followed Duan Mingcheng to the laboratory library on the third floor. There are five large shelves in the library, which are filled with books and magazines on medicine, pharmacology, biology and minerals, as well as miscellaneous notes on the history of biology and pharmacology, etc., with more than 2,000 volumes.
"Pharmacy apprentices only test the content of these four "Basic Drug Manuals", if they can memorize the content of these four books, plus the knowledge of ordinary learning of medicinal materials, they can basically pass the assessment. Mr. Chen said that you have learned a lot of books on medicine before, you should mainly take a look at these four reference books, if you think the problem is not big, I will help you to apply for the pharmacy apprenticeship assessment held by the Pharmaceutical Association. β
Duan Mingcheng pointed to the four thick tome reference books on the bookshelf and said to Ling Li.
"Well, I'll take a look first, and then I'll ask you if I have any questions, I'm sorry for you!" Ling Li said politely.
"Okay, you are reading and studying first, I still have something to do in the laboratory, if you have any questions, go to the big laboratory to find me." Duan Mingcheng nodded, and then left.
He was also afraid that Ling Li would ask him to help him with the lesson, and he was also busy with something, but he didn't expect that this young man was quite sensible.
Duan Mingcheng explained a few more words to Ling Li, and then left, leaving Ling Li alone in the library.
"There are quite a few more books in this book, and it is estimated that it will take two or three days to include them all in the system." Ling Li walked over to the bookshelf and pondered for a moment. The system has been upgraded to the present, and it has become like a scanner, which can scan paper books into digital documents and then directly feed back to his sea of knowledge.
Now his learning speed is like a high-speed processor, and he can remember the content of the page at a glance. It's just that if you want to fully digest and absorb the content you have learned, so that you can integrate it and draw inferences from one another, you need to spend a lot of time thinking and sorting it out. But there is no difficulty in coping with the exam.
