006 Apprenticeship
Wang Xiaoliu took Sun Heng to the door of the hut, arranged for Sun Heng to stand in front of the door, knocked on the door, and entered the house.
In addition to him, there were six children in front of the door, all of them with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, standing motionless in front of the door.
At the age of eight or nine years old, in the previous life, they were lively and carefree, but looking at these children, their hearts all seem to be very mature.
Sun Heng glanced at a few people, and saw that they didn't mean to say hello, so he also learned from them, standing still like a log.
The people in the house have not opened the door, perhaps they are taking the opportunity to test them, and once they move, they may lose the opportunity.
I don't know how long later, with a 'creaking' sound, the door in front of me was finally pushed open from the inside.
The one who came out first was emaciated, his face was clear, his eyes were a little sunken, and his eyes were turning with an indifferent coldness.
This person is dressed in a rare smooth satin, which is said to be of great value, and his hands are slender, without a little calluse, and at first glance he is a pampered figure.
Behind him, there are three others, Wang Xiaoliu is one of them, all of them are hunched over, honestly following each other, they should all be introducers like him.
"Master Wu is not here today, this is Master Ye, who is responsible for selecting apprentices, you guys have seen it soon!"
Wang Xiaoliu glanced at Sun Heng, and his tone was slightly impatient.
This Master Ye is not a good talker, when Master Wu was here yesterday, that stupid black girl could be recruited, and if you change this one, it will definitely not work!
There are so many people today, and Sun Heng is afraid that this kid will not be able to be an apprentice in a pharmacy.
"Hello Master Ye!"
Several children hurriedly bowed down to speak, and many of them quietly changed color on their faces.
It seems that they all know that this Master Ye is very difficult to speak.
"Hmm. ”
Master Ye nodded sullenly, and his eyes scanned a few people with cold eyes: "Among you, are there any literate people?"
Sun Heng smiled bitterly when he heard this.
Sure enough, no matter where you go, knowledge is an irreplaceable thing.
And he, a college student who graduated from more than ten years of education, is illiterate here!
"I ......"
A timid voice sounded beside him, and a little boy with clear eyebrows raised his right hand and whispered: "I am literate." ”
Sun Heng's eyes flashed with surprise, he was really literate!
Wang Xiaoliu was also stunned, he has been working in the restaurant for more than ten years, and he can only write a few dish names, which is far from being literate and hyphenation.
Among the children who came today, there were literate!
"Are you literate?"
Obviously, Master Ye just asked casually, but he didn't expect that someone really raised his hand, and he was a little surprised for a while: "How many words do you know?"
"I have studied 1,000 characters and 100 articles, and I know most of them. ”
The little boy lowered his head and looked a little shy: "That's it...... , it's just not good-looking. ”
"Enough, enough!"
Master Ye laughed, and his cold face was like a flower, obviously very satisfied with this, and even his voice became much gentler: "What's your name?"
"Shi Shaoyou. ”
The little boy raised his head and repeated again, "My name is Shi Shaoyou." ”
"Shi Shaoyou!"
Master Ye nodded: "Sure enough, it looks like the name of a literate child." ”
He beckoned to this Shi Shaoyou: "You come here, stand on my side." ”
"Yes!"
Shi Shaoyou's face was happy, and he hurriedly stood over, it seemed that the position of this apprentice was decided.
The number of apprentices is limited, if there is one, there will be one less, no one is happy for Shi Shaoyou, and the faces of others are not very good-looking.
"You guys!"
Master Ye looked at the other children, his eyes became cold again, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the corner of the courtyard: "Go, lift a bundle of medicinal herbs, and those who can walk two steps will stay!"
Hiss......
Someone gasped.
But I saw that what Master Ye was referring to was a bundle of medicinal herbs like tree roots, and a bundle of medicinal herbs that an adult man could not embrace, and roughly estimated, the weight was not less than 100 catties!
Eight or nine-year-old children, who have not yet grown up, are thin and thin, and it is already good to be able to carry 100 pounds of things off the ground.
Moreover, carrying this kind of thing is not the same as picking up a person, and it is more difficult!
It seems that this Master Ye didn't plan to ask for a few of them at all, and directly had a problem.
Sun Heng pursed his lips and looked at the other children, who were already pale and their eyes were full of frustration.
"Let's go!"
A person beside Wang Xiaoliu shook his head, walked over and grabbed a child, and bowed towards Master Ye: "Master Ye, this child's strength is too small, it seems that he doesn't have this blessing, let's go first." ”
Even if he knew that the other party was intentionally embarrassed, he still didn't dare to complain, and even had to pay for his smile.
"Well, let's go!"
Master Ye didn't have a good face, and waved his hand violently: "You few, if you want to try, just try, if you can't get out." ”
"I want to give it a try. ”
Without waiting for others to answer, Sun Heng had already taken the lead in stepping forward, arching towards Master Ye, and walking towards the pile of medicinal herbs.
He is ten years old this year, and the child changes every year old, and in terms of strength, he has taken a big advantage.
This test is a dead end for others, but for him, it is the opposite!
Wang Xiaoliu opened his mouth, but he didn't stop it, anyway, it's already here, just give it a try.
However, no one had hope for Sun Heng.
Sun Heng ignored the gazes of others, came to the pile of medicinal materials, picked a bundle that looked less, inserted his hands into the medicinal materials, and held a few of them.
"Up!"
With a muffled snort, his body suddenly tensed, his forehead was bulging, and his face was flushed.
The weight of the medicinal herbs exceeded his estimates, and this thing was even heavier than he imagined!
This kind of thing like the roots of a tree is extremely hard to the touch, like a bundle of iron rods, and the weight is definitely not small.
However, it is still within the scope of his acceptance!
As soon as his eyes turned red, Sun Heng's body had begun to heat up and become hot, and the muscles and bones of his flesh, under the influence of certain substances in his brain, began to desperately squeeze his potential.
"Click...... Click......"
The control of the flesh made Sun Heng feel that his muscles and bones had begun to make subtle sounds.
In the heat and some vagueness of the meaning, Sun Heng lifted his arm, took a bundle of medicinal herbs, and suddenly walked a few steps, his legs were weak, and he collapsed directly to the ground.
"Whew...... Whew......"
He knelt on the ground and gasped for breath, and the short moment of exertion made him sweat profusely, prompting potential, and also making his meaning a little vague.
This should be his limit at the moment.
Because of the subtle control of the body, Sun Heng could directly burst out with more physical strength than normal with his will alone.
But after each outbreak, he was weakened for a long time.
By the time he recovered, there was a child next to him who was desperately fighting with a bundle of medicinal herbs.
Obviously, Sun Heng's success gave them some hope.
But it's a pity that no matter how hard he exerts his strength, he is tired and panting, but the herb seems to have taken root, and it does not move at all.
After half a ring, he ran out of strength, so he had to choose to give up, squatting aside and sobbing quietly, but finally showed some childishness, which made people feel a little pitiful.
Under the demonstration of the two, several other children stepped forward to try, but it was obvious that except for Sun Heng, none of them were able to pass the test.
…………
"The apprentices in the pharmacy are divided into two types: internal and external, and the internal affairs apprentices are responsible for handling medicinal materials and grabbing medicines for customers, and they need to be literate. ”
"The foreign apprentice recognizes, sorts, moves, and helps Master Wang purchase and collect herbs, which is not very demanding, and can do ordinary calculations. ”
In the backyard, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man was taking Sun Heng and Shi Shaoyou to the back, introducing the situation of the pharmacy apprentices as he walked.
Judging by the introduction from his mouth, it is clear that the apprentice in the house is much better than the apprentice in the outside. Foreign affairs apprentices, if you say it sound, you are an apprentice, and if it is bad, you are responsible for running errands!
Sun Heng looked at Shi Shaoyou, who was listening carefully to the lecture beside him, this kid would definitely be assigned to the internal affairs apprenticeship, and he was afraid that he would be unlucky.
"Whether it's an internal apprentice or an external apprentice, you need to work as a handyman for three years first, which tests your heart. ”
The young man continued: "After three years, if the internal apprentice satisfies the master, he will officially start teaching medical skills, and after that, he will serve and learn from the master for five years, and the foreign apprentice will begin to receive a salary to support his family. ”
Sure enough, the so-called foreign apprentices can't learn medical skills at all!
"Also, during this period, you need to obey the arrangements of the masters in everything, and you must not complain at will. Explain in advance that in our place, the master kills the apprentice, and there is no need to be responsible!"
He stopped and pointed at Shi Shaoyou: "You, you will be an internal affairs apprentice in the future." ”
Turning his finger, he pointed at Sun Heng: "You, you are a foreign apprentice!"
