It was not difficult for Liu Xiu to remember a medicinal herb, the name, color, smell, shape, ......, with his current memory, it only took a little observation to imprint it into his mind, although it did not reach the point of forgetting it at a glance.

He opened the drawers containing medicinal herbs one by one, picked up the medicinal herbs in them from time to time to observe, memorized them and put them in the drawer, closed the drawer, and then the next one, quickly browsed and memorized one medicinal herb, and so on......

On the other side, after Zhao Zhihong dealt with the matter at hand, he glanced slightly in the direction of Liu Xiu, frowned slightly, did not say anything, and continued to be busy with his own affairs.

Obviously, there are a lot of people who come to Huairentang every day to ask for medicine, and dozens of apprentices who grab medicine and take medicine are shuttling between rows of medicine cabinets, so busy that no one has the leisure time to take care of Liu Xiu, a new 'colleague'.

Although Liu Xiu's progress in distinguishing medicinal materials was slightly affected by the need to avoid hindering others, he also memorized almost half of them by noon, and he estimated that he would be able to memorize all the thousands of medicinal materials before the sun went down today.

You know, it takes at least three months for an average apprentice to memorize all the herbs!

When he was a little free at noon, Liu Xiu also took the time to go to the 'canteen' to have a fairly hearty lunch, during which he did not meet Zhao Zhihong and Shang Songnian, it was estimated that they were busy, and then he plunged into the rows of medicine cabinets.

In the afternoon, before the sun went down, Liu Xiu closed the last drawer where the medicinal materials were placed, and after a little hesitation, he walked towards Zhao Zhihong.

Although it was a bit appalling to memorize nearly 5,000 kinds of medicinal materials in less than a day, he was not prepared to delay a few days to find Zhao Zhihong, not to deliberately show off, but that he really didn't have much time, and he wanted to seize the time to learn as much as possible.

At this time, Zhao Zhihong was sitting behind a counter in the corner of the room, and when he was a little idle, he quickly glanced at a prescription handed over from the window of the consultation hall outside, handed it to an apprentice who grabbed the medicine, looked up at Liu Xiu and smiled: "Do you have any questions about me?" ”

Liu Xiu was slightly surprised in his heart, although Zhao Zhihong's attitude was still easy-going, but he keenly felt that the other party was much colder, and said in his heart I didn't offend him, right?

How did he know that he was observing a variety of medicinal materials like a leisurely walk and a flower, in Zhao Zhihong's opinion, it was clear that he had to get by and have an attitude of playing, where was there a chance to enter Huairentang to become an apprentice? Shouldn't it be ecstatic and cautious?

After all, Zhao Zhihong has lived so old, and he didn't like Liu Xiu's attitude but didn't show it, but he had already thought about it, with Liu Xiu's attitude, it was really not suitable to be a doctor, he didn't care what the relationship between Liu Xiu and Shang Songnian was, he had to find someone to talk to Shang Songnian, Liu Xiu was really not suitable for being a very patient doctor, to put it bluntly, let Shang Songnian take Liu Xiu away......

After all, with such an attitude, if you become a doctor in the future, let alone save lives and help the wounded, don't care about human life!

Liu Xiuke didn't know this, and said calmly in the face of Zhao Zhihong's inquiry at this time: "Elder Zhao, you instructed me to distinguish the four thousand eight hundred and sixty-four medicinal materials this morning, and I have written them all down now, so I have come to inform you and ask about the next arrangements."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhihong was stunned, then frowned slightly, and snorted coldly in his heart, the secret road is really muddy can't support the wall, blind this appearance, a day less than remember so many things, joking?

Although he didn't like it, he didn't show it, but his attitude became a little colder, and said, "Yes, then you can tell me 'Bailin'."

Zhao Zhihong thought about it, and casually asked a few medicinal materials to test Liu Xiu, but if he couldn't answer, he had to find an excuse to send him away not to come tomorrow.

Here Liu Xiu recalled slightly, and almost opened his mouth to say: "Bai Lin, stored in the fourth drawer on the sixth floor of the third row, a kind of herbal medicine, blue-green, with a faint pungent smell, an inch long...... Well, that's all I know."

Hearing Liu Xiu's answer, Zhao Zhihong was surprised, is this a coincidence or is he really remembered? Although Liu Xiu only said the simplest characteristics of Bailin's medicinal materials, it was exactly the same, which was already valuable for an apprentice who had just come into contact with medicinal materials.

However, he still didn't believe that Liu Xiu could really remember, so he didn't show it on his face, and asked again: "Tell me about 'grass dry'"

"Dried grass, stored in the third drawer on the first floor of the fourteenth row, is a kind of bark, small brown pieces, with a light woody fragrance......" Liu Xiu still opened his mouth.

With a raised eyebrow, Zhao Zhihong said again: "Silver ginseng"

"Stored in the eleventh drawer on the third floor of the thirty-second row, the rhizome medicinal herbs are earthy yellow, the smell is not obvious, and there are silver spots......" When answering this question, Liu Xiu's heart moved, silver ginseng is a thing like the ginseng he collected after killing the poisonous centipede in the mountains, is it called silver ginseng?

At this time, Liu Xiu realized that the entire thirty-second row of medicine cabinets that he had browsed before, there were very few medicinal materials in the drawers, and all the medicinal materials he wanted to store there were precious medicinal materials.

In the face of Liu Xiu's answer, although Zhao Zhihong's heart jumped, he still didn't show it on his face, and then asked Liu Xiu dozens of medicinal materials in one breath, and Liu Xiu could also tell the external characteristics and storage location as many treasures, which was exactly the same.

In the end, Zhao Zhihong no longer asked, but was slightly silent, knowing that he had wrongly blamed Liu Xiu before, so he admitted calmly: "I paid attention to you before, thinking that you just wanted to get by, but I didn't expect you to have such a good memory......"

It's so simple as having a good memory, it's just terrifying!

Liu Xiu didn't interrupt him and waited for the following.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Zhihong said again: "Since you have memorized all the medicinal materials, then you can stop here today, I didn't expect you to remember it so quickly, and I didn't think about the next arrangements, so let's stop here today, you go back first, come back tomorrow, and I will arrange your next affairs."

This was expected by Liu Xiu, and he nodded: "It's okay, but is it appropriate for me to leave?" Others don't need help? ”

"Hehe, go ahead, I'm afraid Brother Shang is also going to be busy, well, your talent can't be wasted, I have to plan how to settle you next" Zhao Zhihong smiled kindly.

Knowing that Liu Xiu was to blame, he admitted it very calmly, and at the same time he also had a heart of love for talent, so he had to plan the next arrangements well, so as not to waste Liu Xiu's talent.

"In this case, the junior will leave, if there is any command, Zhao Lao can just let me know" Liu Xiu bowed his hand without humility or arrogance, and left immediately.

Looking at Liu Xiu's back, Zhao Zhihong was distracted for a long time, talent......

After Liu Xiu left, he changed the apprentice's clothes and put them in the specified place, put on his own clothes and went to the lobby outside to find Shang Songnian.

At this time, Shang Songnian was almost busy, packed up the medicine box on his back and left Huairentang with Liu Xiu.

At sunset, an old man and a young man were walking on the way home, and Shang Songnian asked, "Xiao Liu, how is it today?" ”

"I have gained a lot, Elder Zhao asked me to distinguish the medicinal materials, I have memorized all the four thousand eight hundred and sixty-four medicinal materials owned by Huairentang, and I will be able to recognize them even if I see them elsewhere in the future," Liu Xiu replied truthfully.

Shang Songnian raised his eyebrows, he didn't believe it in his heart, but he didn't say it directly, thinking about asking Zhao Zhihong secretly tomorrow if this is the case, if not, be stricter, although Liu Xiu has only studied for half a month, and he can't be perfunctory if he wants to instruct Liu Xiu in medicine.

"Well, that's good, the opportunity is rare, you can do it and cherish it," Shang Songnian pointed out.

After the two returned to their residences, they separated, and agreed to go to Huairentang early tomorrow morning.

After Liu Xiu returned to his residence, he first recalled the experience of this day, wrote down some key points on paper, and went out after dark to find several special snacks in Wanhua City to fill his stomach, and the day passed like this.

The next day, he and Shang Songnian came to Huairentang again, Shang Songnian first avoided Liu Xiu and Zhao Zhihong muttering, during which both of them looked at Liu Xiu from time to time.

In the end, Shang Songnian came to Liu Xiu's side with a happy face and said, "Next, you still follow Mr. Zhao's arrangement, well, study hard."

Liu Xiu nodded yes, and after Shang Songnian left, Zhao Zhihong came over and said, "Xiao Liu, you have memorized all the medicinal materials yesterday, you don't need to go to the medicine cabinet today, and then you come with me."

Liu Xiu was curious to keep up, and he didn't know what he arranged to do today.

After a while, Zhao Zhihong took Liu Xiu to a separate room, where dozens of bookcases were placed with many books and papers, and the smell of ink was very strong.

In Liu Xiu's surprise, Zhao Zhihong said: "Although you remember and recognize all the medicinal materials of our Huairentang, but those are only the foundation of the foundation, and those medicinal materials are only concocted, then you should have an in-depth understanding, here are all books about medicinal materials, the book details each medicinal material, their wild growth environment, processing process, medicinal value, etc., these are all you need to understand, secondly, there are many prescriptions that we Huairentang once prescribed, You can also learn more about the properties of various herbs from the combinations...... Anyway, you don't have to worry about anything in the future, just soak here and learn about it."

"It's all up to Mr. to arrange" Liu Xiu looked at the room and said, his eyes lit up, this is the foundation he wants, it is definitely not some advanced medical skills, only when these foundations are firmly laid, he can slowly apply the medical skills of Baiyun Venerable Liu Xiu, of course, that step is still early.

"Hehe, take a good look, I'll go get busy first" Zhao Zhihong stroked his beard and smiled, and then walked away.

He really didn't want to bury Liu Xiu's talent, otherwise, he wouldn't ask Liu Xiu to see the specific introduction of these medicinal materials at this time, but to learn to catch medicine with other apprentices.

After all, if you want to truly become an excellent doctor, understanding the characteristics of each medicinal herb is the foundation.

After Zhao Zhihong left, Liu Xiu exhaled softly, the detailed information of each medicinal material, this is not as simple as memorizing thousands of concocted medicinal materials, and I don't know if I can read all the information here in half a month.

In any case, take your time, medicine is never something that can be achieved overnight......
