That night, Su Laosan and nineteen others rushed to the grocery store as scheduled.

They were very grateful to Shen Yun, and as soon as they looked at each other, they clasped their fists and saluted, and shouted in unison: "I've seen Mr." ”

"You're welcome. Shen Yun was embarrassed, and returned the salute with his fists - any of these people were at least one round older than him.

Yu Tou was on the side, introducing nineteen people to him one by one.

They clearly cherish this opportunity to learn. Every time Yu Tou introduced someone, the person who was introduced stepped forward and saluted with his fists again, respecting Mr. Kou.

So, Shen Yun also returned the salute one by one.

After the introduction, Yu Tou said to Shen Yun with a smile: "Sir, they are all rough people. What are the rules, just ask. ”

That is to say, to ask him to speak.

Su Laosan and the others also said in unison: "Please sir." “

Shen Yun's face turned red, waved his hand and smiled: "What are the rules for literacy? If you want to learn, in the future, you can come and learn at this time every day." And he said, "If you're ready, we'll start learning today's words." ”

"We're all set. Yu Tou hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down around the table.

On the square table, pen, ink, paper and inkstone were all prepared in advance.

Shen Yun sat down on the main seat generously, and wrote down the words "cool mat" with a pen - he did not teach according to the "Literacy Song". Instead, according to the needs of the shop, start with the name of the goods.

"These two words are pronounced 'mat'. When he had finished, he picked up the paper and showed it to the crowd.

"Oh, we sell this in our shop!"

"We have it too!"

"That's how it was written. ”

"I don't understand ......"

Everyone stared intently at the big words in his hand.

Shen Yun smiled: "Don't worry. Let's take them apart one by one and learn them. "Like the four of them, they have already studied for one night and know what stroke order is. However, Su Laosan and they only joined in, and it was the first time they were literate. So, some of the things he said last night, he has to say again today.

He knows very well that when it comes to literacy, it can be slow when you start learning. Therefore, at the beginning of learning, you must not be greedy. At this stage, he only plans to teach them to write the names of three goods every night.

At the same time, he tries to speak in a simple and understandable way, and connects more with the learners' daily life to strengthen their memory.

These are all the experiences summed up when Zhengjiazhuang taught them to read and write.

Like last night, it worked out well. At the end of a quarter of an hour, everyone will write and read the names of the three groups of goods for today.

Shen Yun took the hot iron and asked them to use their fingers on their thighs to write each word five more times - no way, the place in the shop was narrow, and the twenty-odd people sat down, and it was already crowded. I can't put a table or anything for everyone to write.

When they were all written, he taught them to count. It's unbelievable that most of these people can't count to a hundred!

When Shen Yun found out about this situation, he was shocked in his heart-who gave them the idea! I can't even count, what kind of shop to open, what kind of business to do!

Half an hour, he was full.

All of them studied very seriously. Like Su Laosan, they left the shop, and as they walked, they wrote and scratched with their fingers, and their mouths were broken: "Cool...... Mat...... Pillow...... Head...... Cloth...... ......"

The next day is a single day, and the lecture will start in the morning.

Shen Yun rushed to the auditorium early, found an inconspicuous position, and sat down.

Like him, all the new disciples wore their heads in a bun and changed into newly collared disciple clothes. Yes, as far as the eye can see, there are cyan dumplings in one place.

Coincidentally, Shen Yun saw the girl who wore the bead crown yesterday.

The crown was gone, and she was dressed like everyone else. It's just that those whose heads are hooked low are about to be buried in their chests.

Because Shen Yun was sitting, she saw that her big good-looking eyes were red and swollen at the moment, as if they had become a "ray of sky".

This is because he cried too hard! Shen Yun couldn't help but have black lines on his head, and said in his heart: As for it?

At that time, the lecture officially began.

The person who gave them a lecture today was a middle-aged man. He sat in the front pavilion and introduced himself briefly: "My surname is Luo, and in the future, I will tell you about the cultivation of medicinal herbs." ”

Then, let's talk about today's content directly - the leveling and daily management of the medicine field.

Hearing this, most of the disciples below couldn't sit still—because yesterday Deputy Sect Envoy Yong'an made it very clear that during the lecture, unless the masters asked questions, anyone who spoke privately would be regarded as a violation of discipline. And disciplinary violations are punishable. Therefore, the disciples did not dare to speak out. However, their hearts are broken, and they can't help but look left and right to see the reactions of those around them.

In this regard, Luo Shizun turned a blind eye and continued to lecture his lecture unhurriedly.

Shen Yun regretted it a little. What Master Luo talked about was very practical things. If he had known, he would have brought a pen and paper and made some notes.

Fortunately, Master Luo didn't talk much today. He barely memorized it all.

Even so, he was afraid that he would forget. After class, I hurriedly ran back to the medicine valley and wrote down today's content one by one in the house.

Then, he started to have more things to do. Because Master Luo told them that the day after tomorrow, he would start teaching them to plant green grass, so today and tomorrow, he went to the courtyard to get tools, level the No. 10 field, and prepare for planting.

At noon, Dongzi came over with tools to build a stove for him.

Hearing that he was going to level the medicine field, he said enthusiastically: "I have planted at home, and I am a skilled hand. The shop was not busy, and in the afternoon, I came over to help my husband. ”

Shen Yun knew that he had good intentions, and was worried that he was too young to do physical work, so he moved out of the rules of the pharmacy, and refused: "Thank you, Brother Dongzi." It's just that the regulations of the courtyard stipulate that the medicine field must be taken care of by the disciple himself. ”

"What kind of rule is this!" Dongzi looked angry, "I'm happy with myself, can't I?"

Well, that's the rule of the pharmacy, everyone has to follow it. Otherwise, it is a violation of discipline, and there will be corresponding punishments. He could only complain.

Dongzi's craftsmanship is good, and it only took a few hours to build a two-eye stove for Shen Yun in the outhouse. Knowing that Shen Yun was so clean, he also built a bathing pool, pointed to a doorway hole at the bottom, and explained: "When the fire is cooking, Mr. pokes this place open, and the fire comes over and heats the water in the pool." Even in winter, I keep the hot bath that Mr. can take comfortably. ”

It was the first time Shen Yun saw such a stove, and he was full of novelty: "Brother Dongzi, you are so powerful, how did you come up with it?"

Dongzi scratched his head embarrassedly: "Where can I think of it, I learned it from my master." My master said that when he was young, he gave a wandering Taoist a steamed bun. The man taught him this method. It's just that the Taoist made my master swear in advance that he and his family would never be able to use this method to make money. My master taught this method to the apprentices and asked them to go out and do the work. Half of the money earned should be exchanged for adult gifts and filial piety to him. In our area, many people repair this kind of stove at home, and it is all built by our brothers and sisters. ”

In this way, his master is not considered to have broken his oath. Shen Yun raised his eyebrows: "Your master is so smart." However, he thinks that the real smart person is the Taoist.

In this world, everyone pays attention to "the law is not passed on lightly". It's really hard for ordinary people to learn something. Therefore, once you are lucky enough to learn something, it is usually regarded as a family heirloom and passed down from generation to generation.

For example, when Master Chen was young, he had an opportunity and learned the art of abacus, so he only passed on to his son, and then to his grandson. If it weren't for him saving Tiantian, Master Chen felt his kindness and felt that he couldn't repay it, how could he give it away with his abacus technique?

The Taoist that Master Dongzi met was an outlier. He asked Dongzi's master to make such an oath, and his starting point was to ask his master to pass on this method of building a stove, not as an heirloom, and only pass it on to future generations.

Shen Yun personally agreed with that person's idea.

Regardless of the views of the world, he himself is very opposed to "not lightly spreading the law."

Because judging from the inheritance of Aoki Gate, he found that the consequence of "the law is not passed on lightly" is that one generation is not as good as the next. Therefore, he believes that the better the thing, the more it must be passed on. Only when more people learn will it become more and more prosperous, and will not be lost or lost.

He also thinks so about the pharmacopoeia and the golden acupuncture technique passed on to him by his master. It's just that at the moment, his own skills are not perfect, and he is afraid of misleading people's children, so he doesn't dare to spread it.

As for the abacus, he planned to make a simplified version and pass it on to Yu Tou and them—why should he pass it on after simplifying? Without him, Yu Tou was really a little older, and their foundation was too poor. The complex algorithms in abacus are very difficult for them to learn. Moreover, if you open a small shop, you can't use those too complex algorithms.

In the afternoon, according to what Master Luo taught, Shen Yun went to the warehouse to get a set of tools. Unlike yesterday, this time, there was a long queue in front of the warehouse. The disciples all came early to pick up the tools.

Shen Yun didn't feel it - as the saying goes, his arms couldn't twist his thighs. What about the good people? The rules of the pharmacy are like this, and everyone has to obey them. Looking down on the work of farming? As soon as the master spoke, these young masters and young ladies had to do it honestly.

The whole set of tools includes: medicine hoe, seven-tooth iron rake, shovel, wooden barrel, and flint.

These are available in the market. They also have them in their grocery stores. It's just that the price is about 20% higher than that of the warehouse.

It can be regarded as a subsidy given to the disciples by the pharmacy.

However, the steward of the treasury made it very clear: each person could only receive one set in the treasury.

In other words, if these tools are broken or lost, they cannot go to the warehouse to get a second set. You can only go outside or buy high-priced ones at the grocery store.

The dry land in Field No. 10 is just a little, and Shen Yun has been in Zhengjiazhuang before, so he only received tools back in the afternoon, and did not start work immediately.

And his two neighbors chose the B-shaped fields on the inside, all of which were dry fields, and there were quite a few of them.

Therefore, when Shen Yun returned to the Medicine Valley, he saw that the two of them were already leveling the medicine field with their faces crying.
