Chapter 183: The Apprentice
A few days later, the golden fungus planted by Sakura was ready to be picked.
She and Chu Chu were busy for a few days, picking and drying all the mushrooms, and then replanting them, planting 600 golden ears and 300 snow fungus again.
He handed over the sun-dried golden fungus to Mrs. Wen, and gave some preserved fruits and freshly ripe apples for Mrs. Wen and Sister Wen to eat on the road.
On this day, Mrs. Wen took her daughter and left the village in a carriage.
Walking with them, there were Xu Kun and Chu Yan.
Master Zhang Meng said that Xu Kun and Chu Yan just sent Mrs. Wen away, and they would come back in a while.
But Yingbao didn't believe it at all, because Chu Chu cried tears when he said goodbye to Chu Yan, just like parting with life and death.
In the blink of an eye, in May, all the grapes have been sold, but the apples and pears in the fruit grove are ripening one after another, and they are also picked by Jiang Quan and sent to the shop in the county seat.
Now Yingbao's store has been on the right track, not only officially hanging the signboard of Jiang Ji's specialties, but also letting Jiang Cheng register as the shopkeeper.
Second cousin Jiang Quan was unhappy in his heart, so he had to reluctantly agree. Who let the eldest brother get older, and gave up inheriting the family business for this reason, and went out alone.
But Jiang Quan was unwilling, so he gave himself the position of chief steward, specifically responsible for procurement and transportation.
As for the profit dividends of the shop, Yingbao asked for fifty percent, and the remaining fifty percent was divided between the lobby brother and the second cousin and his brothers.
Because Yanru participated in the production, Jiang Cheng gave a processing fee of 30 yuan per catty, and more than 300 catties of preserved fruits is more than a dozen taels of silver.
Yan Ru didn't refuse, and after the apricot fruit and peach were boycotted, at the request of Yingbao, she started to make rouge and incense powder again when she had nothing to do.
After Dani Erni was busy with her own affairs, she also ran to do some along, and sometimes brought a few little girls in the village with her.
Yingbao even carries a large basket of petals every day, like what moon season, peony peony, red and blue flowers, lotus flowers, etc., every day is not the same, and gives it to the second uncle to make rouge powder.
Sometimes Yanru is quite strange, why the little niece can pick so many petals, all of them are big and bright, with a strong fragrance, and I don't know where to get them.
One morning, Sakura came home from a deer ride and saw a donkey cart parked in front of her house.
Li Langzhong in the town is talking to his father.
"San Lang, isn't your Yingbao going to study medicine, the old man's pharmacy is about to recruit a medicine boy, why don't you let her go to the old man to be an apprentice." Li Langzhong sat under the grapevines in the courtyard and said to Jiang Sanlang.
Jiang Saburo hesitated for a moment, "I'll wait until I ask Bao'er about this." "My daughter's idea is big, and whether she is an apprentice in a pharmacy depends on her own wishes.
Li Langzhong laughed and said: "Actually, this is also what my senior brother meant, do you remember him, it is Mrs. Wen's Weng Gong Wen Jingyan, he is now working in the Beijing Tai Hospital." cough ยทยทยทยทยทยท He said that your Yingbao is very talented, and going to the old man is just to let her learn how to distinguish medicine and see a doctor. โ
Of course, Jiang Saburo knew that his daughter was talented, but it was beyond his expectation that the old man Wen was from the hospital.
But when I think of my daughter's strange ability, I don't think that the old man is so remarkable.
But Li Langzhong is also well-intentioned, and he can't be cautious.
It is of course excellent to be able to enter the pharmacy as an apprentice, and once you complete it, it is a lifelong job.
Coupled with the inherent skills of the girl, she will definitely be able to become a little miracle doctor in ten miles and eight towns, and she will be respected for a lifetime, and she will be extremely glorious.
Just thinking about it, Sakura ran over: "Dad, I'm willing." โ
Li Langzhong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Jiang Sanlang with burning eyes, waiting for him to answer.
Jiang Saburo frowned, "But you are a girl, where do you go to live in the town?" โ
Nanpo is more than ten miles away from the town, and the family's carriage is used by the second nephew to transport fruits to the county seat, and he can't send his daughter to the pharmacy in the morning and pick it up in the evening.
"You don't have to worry about that." Li Langzhong said: "Just let Yingbao live in my house, the old man and the little granddaughter are about the same age as Yingbao, and the two children will live together at that time." โ
Jiang Saburo looked at his daughter, "What does Bao'er think?" โ
Sakura nodded, "I can." โ
Master also said that she would have the opportunity to go to the medicine hall to study more.
Although she could recognize some common herbs, she didn't know any of the herbs she had concocted.
And Li Langzhong's family has a pharmacy, and he can not only learn to distinguish medicines in the pharmacy, but also come into contact with many patients, so he can practice a lot of reading, hearing and asking.
"Okay." Jiang Saburo patted the little girl, "Then you can go." โ
So Chun Niang helped her daughter pack some clothes, shoes and socks and some personal belongings, and also brought some apples and pears as gifts, and sent the little girl to Li Langzhong's house in the town with her husband Jiang Sanlang.
Li Lang has two sons and two daughters, his old wife has long since died, and he and his eldest son's family live in the town's pharmacy.
The youngest son took his wife and children to open a small pharmacy in the county seat, and he was still passable, and the two daughters had already married, one married in the town, and the other married in the county seat.
Li Langzhong's youngest granddaughter is seven years old this year, named Li Xihua, and she was very happy to see a little sister of the same age in the family to accompany her, and pulled Yingbao to recognize the room.
"From now on, you will live with me, the beds are ready, you sleep on this one, and I will sleep on the one next to me." Li Xihua pulled Yingbao to the two tables, "Grandfather also asked people to bring two desks, one for you and one for me, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are all prepared for you." โ
"By the way, there's this medicine box." Li Xihua opened a medicine box on the table, pointed to the items inside, and said, "A box of silver needles, five cupping, and a stone." โ
He picked up a small lock and handed it to Sakura: "Grandfather said that the medicine box of a practitioner must be carried with him, otherwise he must lock it with a lock, and he must not let outsiders turn it at will." โ
Seeing Ying Bao looking at himself without blinking, Li Xihua's face turned red, and he said coyly: "I... I took a look at it before, and I definitely didn't go through your medicine box. โ
Sakura took the lock and nodded: "I know." โ
Seeing that the little doll didn't blame herself, Li Xihua smiled, and pointed to the suitcase next to the bed and said, "This suitcase is new, so I'll leave it for you." โ
"Thank you, Sister Xihua." Sakura put her clothes in the suitcase and asked, "Shall we go to the medicine hall now?" โ
She has known all the people of the Li family, and now she is going to familiarize herself with the environment of the medicine hall.
"Okay."
In fact, Li Xihua doesn't like to go to the medicine hall very much, she smells the medicine for a long time and her brain hurts, but her father and mother must let her study medicine with her brothers, which is really annoying.
The two female dolls came to the pharmacy, and Li Xihua's eldest brother Li Lin was squatting on the ground and grinding medicine with a stone grinder.
Li Lin nodded at Yingbao and went about his work.
There was also a teenager on the other side of the counter, Li Langzhong's second grandson, Li Qing, who was weighing medicine for a guest with a stick.
For each medicine scaled, he divided it evenly into five paper packets, and his technique was skillful and natural.
