Chapter 1 Pick up experience at the beginning
Great Yue Dynasty, Pingnan City.
The sun is in the sky, and the corpse is angry.
In the cramped alleys and alleys, people are squatting in the corners of the walls, covered with skin and bones, and their clothes are fluttering in the wind.
There is a ditch on the right side of the alley, where the thick water of the rotting corpse is muddy with the turbid yellow water, and there are several pungent open-air dry toilets around, which make the smell of the alley more and more unpleasant.
But no one cared, scooping water to cook, wash their bodies, and wash farm tools......
There was a small man in the crowd, dark-skinned and bare-chested, surrounded by a short brown cloth made of burlap, and a pair of straw sandals on his feet. The only difference with the people around him is that there is light in his eyes, and he is bright.
Qin Huai minimized his breathing.
Although he has been here for half a month, he still can't accept this taste.
It's not hypocritical, it's the stench that makes his body resist strongly.
At the end of the alley, a notice for apprentices hung in front of the Liujia pharmacy.
On Changlong Street, the flow of people is scrambling.
Qin Huai licked the corners of his chapped mouth, a little restless.
"I've been in this world for more than half a month, and I've finally found one."
I am a traverser, and in my previous life, I was a social animal who had just graduated from college.
The boss drew a big pie and said, "Promise that this project will be turned into a regular after it is completed", so that Qin Huai worked overtime for 29 days in a row, and he was relieved on the day of the regularization, and then he was here.
This world is respected by martial arts, there are demons rampant, and there are many heroes.
Those who are unable to practice martial arts are like duckweed, and their lives are like mustard.
He is a homeless person who fled to Pingnan City because of the scourge of demons.
Along the way to escape, I saw too many human tragedies caused by lack of strength, such as snatching children and eating, and families being ruined.
Let Qin Huai be firm that he must practice martial arts in order to live well in this world.
It just so happened that this Liujia pharmacy was recruiting apprentices, and there was no registration fee to have the opportunity to learn the exercises.
This made the queue for registration a long street.
Qin Huai also came to try his luck.
"There are thirty or forty people in front, and they haven't taken a fancy to it......"
"Is the shopkeeper of the Liu family's pharmacy picking a son-in-law?"
The crowd was restless.
Qin Huai was also worried.
Those martial arts halls in Pingnan City that can learn martial arts, the registration fee alone is dozens of taels of silver.
Displaced people like him simply can't afford to pay the money.
This pharmacy accepts apprentices, and you can learn martial arts without charging money...... Is it to see some special talents?
The team finally came to the end, and in front of him was a young girl with an old look.
"Do you have any special skills?" The girl raised her eyes, this guy washed his face and changed his clothes... It doesn't look bad.
"Does literacy count?" Qin Huai was serious.
The characters and Chinese characters in this world are almost the same, so Qin Huai, who has experienced nine years of compulsory education, is very confident.
Especially in this world where prenatal education is unemployed, literate people are completely dimensionally reducing for others.
Except for the town where he fled......
It doesn't matter if you know words there, you can do it.
Therefore, Qin Huai, who couldn't find a chance to play, achieved nothing in the first half of the month.
"Oh?" The girl was surprised, took out a medicine book and put it in front of Qin Huai, and nodded.
"Angelica, wolfberry, ginseng, snake gall bladder, garcinia cambogia, star anise, ......" Qin Huai opened the catalogue and read out the name as the girl's fingers pointed at random.
Qin Huai already has seven or eight points of confidence, and Pingnan City deserves to be a big city.
"I really know how to read!" The girl was shocked, and the smile on her face instantly brightened.
The group of people behind him was even more incredulous, looking at Qin Huai, who was almost the same as them, in surprise.
"No more queuing, apprentices are full!" The girl shouted at the top of her voice.
The people behind scattered faster than the girl shouted, and when they heard Qin Huai's literacy, they scolded and dispersed when they heard Qin Huai's literacy.
"No matter what world you go to, it's better to be educated."
Qin Huai couldn't help but sigh when he saw that he stood out so easily.
……
The girl took the three apprentices recruited to the backyard.
A middle-aged man with a goatee with a slender figure and an elegant face, dressed in a gray and black robe with vertical stripes, sits at a stone table and sipps tea.
This is Liu Changyue, the owner of the Liu family's pharmacy.
"In the future, the three of you will be apprentices in my pharmacy, and you will memorize some recipes with me, pick and buy medicinal herbs, clean the pharmacy and other chores on weekdays."
"If you learn it well, I will teach you a technique." Liu Changyue rolled up her sleeves, and the work and flatbread were ready.
Qin Huai and the three of them were all in good spirits, and the reason why there was such a long dragon in front of the pharmacy was that they taught the exercises here, and they didn't need money.
"How can you learn well?" Gao Cheng, the first to come, was curious.
"There are two kinds of apprentices in our pharmacy, miscellaneous apprentices and housekeeping apprentices." The girl walked up to the three of them and introduced.
"Miscellaneous apprentices, do a series of chores such as grinding medicines, buying meat, carrying medicinal materials, going up the mountain to collect medicines, etc., two meals a day, including food and housing, but no salary, and become an internal affairs apprentice after two years."
"Apprentice in housekeeping, refining medicine, writing prescriptions in the front hall, greeting patients, three meals a day, half a catty of meat, five hundred wen a month, you can learn the qigong of the pharmacy."
The three of them listened carefully and nodded frequently.
"That'...... Is there a way to get promoted to an housekeeping apprentice quickly? Gao Cheng sneered, two years is too long.
"Yes, you can learn to distinguish medicines in a few months, understand the medicinal properties of more than fifty kinds of medicinal materials, and dispense ten kinds of recipes with at least three kinds of medicinal materials that are different from the prescriptions of the pharmacy, but the effects are almost the same, and you can be promoted."
Gao Cheng felt a headache just by listening to this long list of requests.
Qin Huai is similar, but now there is no other way out, so he can only stay up first.
"I take the school once a week, and if the results are not satisfactory, I will expel him from the pharmacy."
"Don't be lazy, work hard."
Liu Changyue briefly explained two more sentences, and the three of them worshipped the teacher.
Liu Changyue has no rules for apprenticeship here.
The three of them toasted tea in turn according to the order of recruitment, even if they became apprentices.
Qin Huai is a junior brother.
The girl who is shorter than Qin Huai is called Liu Xiaomei, the only daughter of the master, and the senior sister of the three.
After apprenticeship, the three were taken to the backyard and divided into quarters.
The courtyard of the Liujia pharmacy is huge, with 2,000 square meters facing up, and there are five medicinal herb rooms alone.
Qin Huai and the others are not all the apprentices of the pharmacy, and the pharmacy will accept apprentices every other month.
Living in the backyard, Qin Huai looked at the beds and felt that there were about thirty or forty people, as for how many housekeeping apprentices and how many miscellaneous apprentices among them, it was unknown.
……
Early the next morning.
Qin Huai and the three of them changed into a short brown with the word "willow" embroidered on their chests, and a pair of trousers.
After coming to this world for half a month, Qin Huai also had his first pair of pants.
"Finally pants." Qin Huai sighed.
There is no more wind and rain pouring in from below, and it is extremely reassuring.
Then he was called to the alchemy.
In the pharmacy, more than a dozen teenagers dressed in the same clothes have already begun to work in full swing.
Small wooden sticks hit the wooden bowl, and the sound of clattering reverberated in the alchemy.
"Grind all these salvia into such powder." The tall man gestured to the medicine jar next to him.
"Twenty cans per person."
Qin Huai glanced at the fist-sized brown earthen jar and didn't speak.
Roll up your sleeves and grind silently.
As soon as he hammered twice, Qin Huai saw that a white ball of light had fallen out of Gao Cheng's body beside him.
Qin Huai shook his head and rubbed his eyes vigorously.
That's right, it's indeed a ball of light.
And the others don't seem to be able to see it yet.
He held out his hand towards the white ball of light, and the ball of light flew over on its own.
"Ding! You have collected a Essence of Potion (White), +1 Experience"
Qin Huai's eyes darkened, and something instantly appeared in his mind.
"Salvia, with the root as medicine, has the effect of dispelling stasis, renewing, invigorating blood, and regulating menstruation......" Qin Huai said silently in his heart.
This is the medicinal part of salvia and some of its effects.
As I grew through my experience, it appeared in my mind.
"It's not a vague number or a progress bar, it's actual knowledge. When I have accumulated experience points, it also means that my potion skills have indeed reached a certain level gradually. ”
In the next moment, a panel appeared in front of Qin Huai's eyes.
[Name]: Qin Huai
[Exercise]: None
[Skill]: [Pharmacy (Unlearned, 1/100)]
[Realm]: None
Goldfinger is finally here.
Qin Huai looked at the personal panel in front of him and was overjoyed.
In the midst of his thoughts, white light began to fall from the bodies of the other people around him.
