"I'm not afraid of hardship, and I also believe that I can meet your requirements, so I'll call you a master first." Wang Miaomiao said happily.

The matter was quickly resolved, and Master Qiu asked Wang Miaomiao to come here the next morning to familiarize herself with the environment.

In Wang Miaomiao's excitement, the next day came.

Wang Miaomiao came to the door of the pharmacy early, and Boss Qiu, who was still cleaning, didn't expect her to arrive so early, and had a good initial impression of this apprentice, so he decided whether to let her inherit her skills based on her performance.

"Master, good morning," Wang Miaomiao greeted diligently.

"Haha, good morning too, come in and help me clean up." Boss Qiu smiled

As soon as she cleaned it, Wang Miaomiao sighed, how long has it been since she cleaned it, and the dust is two centimeters thick, but she didn't dare to say it, so she could only keep wiping and sweeping.

Boss Qiu looked at Wang Miaomiao, who was working hard, and was not bad in terms of hard work. Looking at her expression again,

"Hahaha, you must be curious why it's so dirty." Boss Qiu accosted her.

Wang Miaomiao nodded,

"Actually, I didn't plan to clean it originally, after all, I haven't cleaned it for almost two years, and the last time I cleaned it was because the dust stained my medicinal herbs, and then I put the medicinal herbs in the back warehouse. The reason why I cleaned today, I want to exercise your patience, pharmaceutical is no better than others, the content is boring, if you don't have full patience, there is no way to be a successful pharmaceutical person. Boss Qiu explained.

"I see, master, I know, I will clean up well and not be lazy."

Wang Miaomiao's answer made Boss Qiu nod with satisfaction.

After cleaning the front hall, it was close to noon, and Boss Qiu asked Wang Miaomiao to stay for lunch, but Wang Miaomiao wanted to go back to cook for the family, so he refused.

At noon, Wang Miaomiao came in a hurry after eating, Boss Qiu took her to visit the pharmaceutical factory and the warehouse where medicinal materials were stored, the scale was huge, but I didn't expect that there was such a big place behind the small front hall to make medicines. Wang Miaomiao really underestimated Boss Qiu, and since then, she has had more respect for her master.

After the visit, the master gave her seven or eight books.

"These books record all kinds of medicinal materials and medicinal effects that we need for medicine, you should master them as soon as possible, and it is best to memorize them by heart."

Wang Miaomiao looked at the books she pushed up, one head and two big, she hated endorsing books since she was a child, and now she has to memorize so many at one time, she really wants to cry without tears. But in order to master the pharmaceutical, she gritted her teeth,

"I'll memorize it as soon as possible"

Since then, Wang Miaomiao has been walking over with a book in her arms all day long, and there are words in her mouth, which makes her feel relieved that there are illustrations of each medicinal herb in the book, and the content is also vivid and interesting, and it does not look boring.

Since Wang Miaomiao decided to go to the pharmacy to study, she sent her two children to study in the school in the town, and Mrs. Wang followed Granny Li around every day, each with her own things to do.

More than half a month has passed, Wang Miaomiao didn't know anything about medicine from the beginning, and after her unremitting efforts, now she can also look at the medicinal materials and casually say the name and efficacy. This made Wang Miaomiao very happy, and it also made Master Qiu quite pleased.

After Wang Miaomiao memorized the basic knowledge, Boss Qiu asked her to learn to smell medicinal materials every day, which is the nose smell method for identifying medicinal materials, and it is best to be able to tell which medicinal materials are these with a faint smell.

The sniffing method, also known as the sniffing method, has a special aroma and odor of some medicinal materials, which is due to the volatile substances contained in the medicinal materials. When smelling the gas, some medicinal materials can be crushed and smelled, or scalded with boiling water and smelled again, some need to ignite the aroma of smelling smoke, and the smell of some medicinal materials is very special, and often becomes one of the main bases for identification, such as sandalwood, agarwood, incense, musk, sandalwood, frankincense, myrrh, and self-gum incense all have aromas, but they are different. The rhubarb has turbidity, the fake blood made by rosin has the aroma of pine, and the tomb has a peculiar smell.

Master Qiu asked her to learn these to lay the foundation for her, so Wang Miaomiao was in the warehouse, smelling all kinds of medicinal materials every day.

Now Wang Miaomiao smelled something strange and thought that it was medicinal herbs. Over time, Wang Miaomiao was also able to roughly smell the fragrance and say the medicinal materials.

The next method that Boss Qiu said was to touch it with his hands.

Use your hands to feel the texture characteristics of the herbs, such as hardness, toughness, looseness, stickiness or powderiness.

Wang Miaomiao began to practice touching medicinal materials with her hands every day, and every day she touched it, Wang Miaomiao's fingers were about to grind out of cocoons.

After Wang Miaomiao learned various methods, there was finally only one last method left: tasting.

Wang Miaomiao felt bad when she heard these two words, could this taste be the other taste.

"Taste is to feel the various tastes of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty through the sense of taste to distinguish the authenticity of Chinese herbal medicines. Since the tip of the tongue is only sensitive to sweetness, and the bitter taste is sensitive to the root of the tongue, it is necessary to chew for a while when tasting the herbs, so that all parts of the tongue come into contact with the liquid medicine, so that the taste of the medicine can be accurately tasted, and then spit it out. For example, black plum, papaya, hawthorn is better to taste sour, and the more bitter Coptis chinensis, cork and so on, the better. Codonopsis, licorice, and wolfberry are better for sweetness; Cinnamon is sweet in taste, spicy and slag-free, and the mountain rhubarb slices can be distinguished by a slight taste after being fried, and the real and false magnolia slices are mixed together and need to be tasted to distinguish; Songbei, green fritillary, furnace fritillary and Fengjie fritillary, Yibei, flat fritillary particles and shape are similar to also need to taste to identify, the taste of medicinal materials is an important criterion to distinguish the variety and quality, absolutely can not be underestimated. Master Qiu said a lot about the method of tasting in one breath,

"When tasting medicinal herbs in the mouth, pay attention to the herbs with strong irritation and toxicity, try not to use this method, take less samples when tasting in the mouth, spit out and rinse the mouth immediately after tasting, and chew some licorice to avoid poisoning."

"Master, do you really want to try it with your mouth?" Wang Miaomiao was a little scared.

"It's not a tasting, it's a tasting, and you can rest assured, I have marked all the poisonous herbs in the warehouse," Boss Qiu said.

Wang Miaomiao began to eat medicinal herbs again, all kinds of flavors in her mouth were mixed together, so that her three meals a day were hopeless, and the residual taste in her mouth, even if the delicious dishes were eaten in her mouth, they changed to another strange taste, which was difficult to swallow, and every time Wang Miaomiao pinched her nose and forced herself to eat it.

In just a few days, Wang Miaomiao has lost a lot of weight.

One day, Wang Miaomiao accidentally ingested a poisonous herb, and her mouth immediately swollen a lot.

"It's nothing, just wait for him to get his swelling down. Hahaha, but you look like this, it's better to be at home these days and don't go out. Boss Qiu looked at Wang Miaomiao's appearance and was very funny.

Boss Qiu gave Wang Miaomiao a mask and asked her to take it home.

Back at home, the children were already out of school, Mrs. Wang and Granny Li were telling them stories, and they were surprised to see Wang Miaomiao go home so early.

"Miao Miao, why did you come back so early today?" Mrs. Wang asked.

Then Wang Miaomiao took off her mask, and everyone laughed, and Mrs. Wang was almost out of breath laughing.
