"Third sister-in-law, what do you mean by that? That kid can't come tomorrow? Wan Feizhi didn't quite believe Fu Xiaojiu's speculation.

Fu Xiaojiu smiled, "I'll know tomorrow." ”

Wan Feizhi said suspiciously: "Okay, let's see if he comes tomorrow." ”

The next day, Feng Zhen and his wife came to the hospital early in the morning.

Ren Maozhuang and Xue Chengwen also came early, but Li Congjian was missing.

Wan Feizhi also ran to the door to watch, but he didn't see Li Congjian.

"Third sister-in-law, I really let you say it right, Li Congjian won't come." Wan Feizhi was still a little disappointed.

Fu Xiaojiu smiled, "He's afraid of blood, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it." But that kid is smart, and he will definitely be able to make a difference somewhere else in the future. ”

As soon as Fu Xiaojiu's words fell, Li Congjian's father came.

When Li Shufang saw Fu Xiaojiu, he said embarrassedly: "Fu Langzhong, I'm really causing you trouble, my stinky boy went home yesterday and vomited several times, and he couldn't come alive." ”

Fu Xiaojiu said empathetically: "I saw yesterday that he was a little unbearable. After all, he is still young, and the blood he saw yesterday is really more, so it's no wonder that it's hard for him. But let me tell you the truth, he has a smart brain, and he will definitely be able to do well in the future, so you can't scold him because he can't learn medicine. I think he's good at reading, and he can read well, so you might as well let him go to school. ”

If Fu Xiaojiu didn't persuade Li Jiaofang so much, Li Jiaofang really planned to smoke Li Congjian when he went back after he finished talking to Fu Xiaojiu.

Fu Xiaojiu's words made Li Jiaofang feel a sense of sudden enlightenment, the reason why he brought Li Congjian to study medicine was that he was afraid that the road to the imperial examination would be too difficult, and it would be difficult for the child to have a bright future.

But this time he had confidence in Li Congjian.

Fu Xiaojiu sent Li Ledger away, and said to Ren Zhuangmao and Xue Chengwen, so that the two of them don't have to worry, three hundred and sixty lines, the best in the line, reading is not the only way out, and studying medicine is not the only way out, as long as you step down and do things, there will always be a day when you can get ahead.

Ren Zhuangmao and Xue Chengwen both nodded again and again, taking Fu Xiaojiu's words to heart.

Fu Xiaojiu asked the two of them to learn from Wan Feizhi first, and she took Feng Zhen and his wife to the workshop.

Feng Zhen and his wife have been medicine farmers all their lives, and it is really suitable for them to come to the pharmacy.

Fu Xiaojiu asked Feng Zhen and Wang to do the work of concocting medicinal materials, which is the most basic, but also the most important job, and each person's monthly money is also 800 Wen.

However, Fu Xiaojiu gave Wang an extra 100 yuan to let her cook at noon, and Wang happily agreed.

With Feng Zhen and Wang Shi to concoct medicinal materials, Wan Er can participate in the work of making medicines.

Wan Er became the foreman of the male workers, and with him working with the male workers, he could better supervise everyone's work, and everyone's work efficiency improved a little.

This time, Fu Xiaojiu was more at ease with the operation of the workshop, and after staying in the workshop for a while, he returned to the medical hall.

There are only two candidates left for the apprenticeship, these two children have their own strengths, in order to decide which child to keep as soon as possible, Fu Xiaojiu set a few small tests for them today.

Fu Xiaojiu gave them fifty yuan each, and asked them to go to the two pharmacies on Fu Street to buy tangerine peel each, and after a quarter of an hour or so, Ren Zhuangmao came back first.

The price of tangerine peel is ten wen and one tael, and Ren Zhuangmao bought six taels of tangerine peel for fifty wen.

Immediately afterwards, Xue Chengwen also came back, and he bought back five taels of tangerine peel.

Seeing the five taels of tangerine peel that Xue Chengwen bought, Ren Zhuangmao's eyes couldn't help but show a smug look.

But Fu Xiaojiu didn't say anything, and then let them do something else.

What Fu Xiaojiu asked them to do next was to unplaning the sparrows.

Ren Zhuangmao didn't give his father a lot of help at home, so he didn't show mercy when he unraveled the sparrow, and he neatly cut the sparrow's belly with a knife.

In contrast, Xue Chengwen is not so neat.

He first looked at the sparrow, and then asked Fu Xiaojiu how to start in order to reduce the pain of some sparrows, and what to do after the dissolution.

Fu Xiaojiu patiently told him that after cutting open the sparrow's belly, he had to take out all the internal organs of the sparrow, and Xue Chengwen went under the knife.

Ren Zhuangmao's paddling action was fast, and after opening the sparrow's belly, he asked Fu Xiaojiu what he was going to do next.

Under the guidance of Fu Xiaojiu, the two children cleaned the internal organs of the sparrow, and Fu Xiaojiu taught them to know the internal organs of the sparrow.

After the dissection of the sparrows was finished, the two children washed their hands, and Fu Xiaojiu let the two of them get acquainted with the medicinal materials.

When Wan Feizhi took them to familiarize themselves with the medicinal materials, Fu Xiaojiu was still secretly observing them.

Wan Feizhi found that although Xue Chengwen's child was not as lively as Ren Zhuangmao, Xue Chengwen remembered the names and effects of medicinal materials better than Ren Zhuangmao.

After this day came down, Wan Feizhi asked Fu Xiaojiu again which child he thought could stay, and Fu Xiaojiu said that there was still one day left tomorrow, and he would wait until the last day.

On the third day, Fu Xiaojiu deliberately tested the knowledge they learned yesterday, Ren Zhuangmao remembered that eight or nine was not far from ten, Fu Xiaojiu didn't expect that this child's memory was really good.

But Xue Chengwen not only wrote down all the knowledge he learned yesterday word for word, but even drew inferences from one case and asked Fu Xiaojiu a few questions.

Xue Chengwen's performance surprised Fu Xiaojiu very much, but he remained silent on the surface and continued to let them do the work of apprentices.

In the evening, Carpenter Xue and Ren Butcher came to pick up the child, Fu Xiaojiu talked to Ren Butcher first, and told him that Ren Zhuangmao This child is smart and cheerful, and learns things quickly, but some are not suitable for studying medicine, but he has the potential to be a good butcher.

When Ren Butcher listened to Fu Xiaojiu's words, he felt a little lost.

Fu Xiaojiu continued: "Although this kid is not the material to be a langzhong, if you train him well, he will be able to double your family's income in the future, and maybe your family will be able to make a fortune by relying on Zhuangmao in the future." ”

Ren Butcher, who was still angry with Ren Zhuangmao in his heart, suddenly opened his heart, but he still asked in disbelief: "Fu Langzhong, you didn't coax me with this, did you?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu smiled, "Of course I'm not coaxing you." You have to believe that people have their own strengths, and you have to be good at discovering the strengths in your children. ”

A smile finally appeared on the face of the butcher.

Fu Xiaojiu called Ren Zhuangmao over again, first gave him a fierce compliment, and then pointed out that although he was bold, he was not careful, and he was a little impetuous.

Ren Zhuangmao listened to it and felt a little uncomfortable, but when he heard Fu Xiaojiu say that he could become the pillar of the family in the future, Ren Zhuangmao's heart felt better again.

Fu Xiaojiu didn't let him work here in vain, and gave Ren Zhuangmao a hundred yuan, and the two of them left happily.

Xue Chengwen and his son waited for a long time, and when they saw Ren Zhuangmao and his son leaving happily, Xue Carpenter's heart sank, and Xue Chengwen also had a small face, thinking that he was out of play.

As a result, as soon as Fu Xiaojiu saw the two of them, he directly said "congratulations" to them.

Carpenter Xue asked puzzledly: "May I ask Fu Langzhong, where does this joy come from?" ”

Fu Xiaojiu got straight to the point, "I have already decided to stay with Chengwen as my apprentice." ”

"What did you say?" Carpenter Xue and Xue Chengwen asked incredulously at the same time.

Fu Xiaojiu repeated again with certainty, "I have already decided to harvest the text as an apprentice." Chengwen is smart and steady, bold and careful, and is a good seedling to study medicine. ”

Listening to Fu Xiaojiu's words, both father and son were stunned.

Xue Chengwen was flattered and pulled Carpenter Xue's arm and shouted excitedly: "Dad, did you hear that?" Fulang wants me to be an apprentice! I can study medicine! ”

"I hear you! Hear me! Carpenter Xue also shouted excitedly.

Fu Xiaojiu let the father and son smile at each other for a while, and Fu Xiaojiu continued: "In the future, Chengwen will not be an apprentice in vain with me, I will give him a hundred yuan a month, if there is anything at home that needs to be taken off, tell me in advance." Normally, I give him two days off every month. ”

Carpenter Xue immediately said: "Okay, okay, you can do it all, we will listen to you!" ”

Carpenter Xue was excited for a while, and then said to Fu Xiaojiu: "Fu Langzhong, since you have already harvested the text as an apprentice, I will let him officially apprentice tomorrow and bring you the apprenticeship ceremony." ”

After finishing speaking, Carpenter Xue lightly patted Xue Chengwen, "Call Master first!" ”

"Master!"

Xue Chengwen shouted loudly, and Fu Xiaojiu felt sweet in his heart when he heard it.

Fu Xiaojiu touched Xue Chengwen's head lovingly, and said gently: "Good apprentice!" You are a good boy, Master is optimistic about you! ”

The father and son thanked the rich and young for nine thousand thanks before leaving.

As soon as they left, Wan Pozi and Wan Feizhi came over, and Wan Pozi said with relief: "This child is indeed good, I think he can do it." ”

Wan Feizhi also said: "This kid looks honest, has a good memory, and has a fine heart, the day before yesterday he saw blood and vomited, and his face didn't change when he unraveled the sparrows yesterday, which is really admirable!" ”

Fu Xiaojiu smiled at Wan Feizhi, "Feizhi, you have to work harder in the future, you can't let your junior brother catch up with you." ”

When Wan Feizhi heard this, he immediately pursed his lips disdainfully, "Third sister-in-law, don't think that if I praise him twice, I will really obey him." I've been learning from you for so long, and I think I'm working hard enough for him to overtake me! Senior brother can never compare to senior sister! ”

"You kid, why don't you know modesty?" Seeing that Wan Feizhi was so conceited, Wan Pozi said with a little blame.

Wan Feizhi grimaced at her, and her handsome little face was full of disbelief, "I just don't want to be humble with him!" Because I believe that I must be better than him! ”

Fu Xiaojiu felt that Wan Feizhi was so confident, and encouraged her: "It's good that Feizhi can have this confidence!" The third sister-in-law hopes that you can always be so confident, and you will definitely be able to become a good man in the future! ”

When the lady was about to leave the hospital, Fu Xiaojiu received a second reply from Mrs. Huo.

Mrs. Huo said in the letter that she and General Huo knew that the crystal orchid had been successfully planted on a large scale, and they were excited to sleep all night, and they were especially looking forward to Fu Xiaojiu making the medicine.

Because the border plug has not been peaceful recently, and there have been several small battles, Mrs. Huo has used up the few bottles of gold sore medicine given to her by Fu Xiaojiu and the remaining ointment for Huo Gongzi to the soldiers.
