Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 3074 I see you

  Mr. Qian went directly to Zhou Man after learning about it, "Is Mrs. Zhou the Hu Xiaomei who was specially accepted to attract people to become apprentices?"

   Zhou Man smiled and said: "This is only one of the reasons. The most important reason is that Hu Dalang begged me, and Hu Xiaomei wanted to be an apprentice, so I accepted it."

  Mr. Qian couldn't help but ask, "How is her talent?"

   "At least it's okay to learn medicine."

Mr. Qian understood, and then went out overnight. The next day, many people in Beihai County heard about it, especially the shopkeepers and doctors of the two pharmacies. They met and chatted in their spare time. "I heard that the medical office I accepted an apprentice yesterday. He is only nine years old. I plan to teach from an early age."

  "It's just an apprentice, it's not certain whether you can learn it."

  "The first time, there will be no problem with taking medicine in the future. I heard that she is an ordinary girl with a bad family background. It is better to learn her skills than to waste years at home and get married when she reaches the age of year."

   "With the mind of Lord Zhou, even though he is only an apprentice, he will definitely teach well."

   "Yes, last time I asked her about chest palsy, she also went through the medical books and replied to me. She still has this intention for us outsiders, let alone apprentices."

   "It's a pity that we were born at an untimely time. If we were born twenty years later, I would also go to the medical department as an apprentice."

  "...The shopkeeper, you are from the Xinglin family and you are an apprentice. Should we go like this?"

   "What's the matter? Ji Shitang also gave their young treasurer to Master Zhou as an apprentice. She was not well-known at the time." He felt that even if he could not become an apprentice, being an apprentice would be more than enough.

  It is a pity that the birth is not at the right time, it is too early.

  This incident did not cause much disturbance in Beihai County at first, but it didn’t take long for someone to take the child to the medical office, wanting to ask Zhou Man to accept the child.

  Mr. Qian directly replaced Zhou Man and refused.

  The medical department wants apprentices, but they are mature, have medical skills, at least have a certain understanding of pharmacology, and can help apprentices. Xiaomei Hu is the first one, so it’s a little special. They won’t just accept them indiscriminately.

  Everyone is busy now, who is free to bring children?

   is Hu Xiaomei. She is sensible and obedient enough that Zhou Man accepted her. She had been cutting medicinal materials and milling medicinal materials for several months, and she was already familiar with it.

She still has to do this work. It’s just that she used to have wages, but now she doesn’t. Now, every time she cuts medicinal materials, Zhou Man will tell her what the medicinal materials are and what they have. ...

  When she needs to grind other medicinal materials next time, Zhou Man will tell her what the medicinal material is and what its properties are, so she will continue to grind the medicine.

Sometimes she can memorize three or four medicinal materials a day, sometimes only blindly, and sometimes she needs to recognize more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials in a row. Continue to recognize and continue to recite.

  This is the day's work. When she waits a little later, she has to read.

   Directly read the name of the medicine. Most of the time, Zhou Man taught her certain words every day. Occasionally, Mr. Qian would also teach her when he saw it.

  But this kind of non-systematic learning is very difficult, especially this kind of word is not from easy to difficult, it is to learn which medicine to which medicine.

   Zhou Man felt that this was not enough after less than ten days of teaching, because after ten days, Hu Xiaomei memorized two words, and all the other words were mixed up.

  Fortunately, she remembered most of the medicinal materials she remembered, otherwise Zhou Man would doubt his judgment of her.

  So Zhou Man pulled out a "Thousand-Character Essay" from her study, and said, "It's too difficult to read from the name of the medicinal material. You should read it from the Thousand-Character Essay."

  Zhou Man taught her two thousand-character sentences every day, and then he read the words by himself.

  This effect will be much better, at least when Zhou Man wrote and let her recognize it, she finally recognized it.

  Mr. Qian looked at him and couldn’t help being curious, “Master Zhou, did your doctors learn to read from the name of medicine?”

   "I am not," Zhou Man thought for a while and said afterwards: "But other people learned this way. Not only did the apprentices in the drugstore learn this way, but the disciples of the Xinglin family also learned their characters from medical books."

  First memorize the famous doctor's prescription, and then compare and recognize the words one by one. Even Zheng Gu used to recognize words like this when he was a child.

  Fortunately, he started to recognize the characters from memorizing the name of the medicine. Generally, apprentices recognize the medicinal materials first, and then start to compare and recognize the characters when he recognizes the medicinal materials, and then learn to hold the prescription to grasp the medicine...

  Therefore, the process of apprenticeship and medicine is particularly long, and it takes a lot of patience to endure loneliness and endure hardship.

  It’s so boring, and I don’t even see that the life of an apprentice ahead is very torturous, and there are so many repetitive tasks in daily life.

  While Zhou Man was sitting in Jishitang, she watched the daily tasks that the apprentices of the medicine boy had to do on her own. She felt that she might not be able to match them. She felt that her patience was never good enough.

  Mr. Qian smiled and said, "So adults are different from them."

  Mr. Qian thinks that since there is a better and more systematic learning method, why must he follow the habit of the pharmacy and medical clinic?

  But seeing Xiaomei Hu, I also know how difficult it is to study medicine. I don’t know how many more years it will take if she can help Zhou Man after her studies.

  So they still need mature "apprentices", and Mr. Qian continues to work hard.

  Finally, not long after the winter solstice, someone finally came to his door. It was a middle-aged doctor with a young man. After entering the medical office, he found Zhou Man directly, "Master Zhou, we meet again."

   Zhou Man just finished processing a patient, turned his head to see him for a moment, and then laughed, "Doctor Wei, please sit in the hall."

Doctor Wei is a doctor in Qingzhou. He has a pharmacy in his home. It can't be compared with a large pharmacy such as Jishitang Baicaotang, but it is also famous in Qingzhou. Last time, he and several doctors in Qingzhou came to Zhou Man for advice. problem.

  There are still patients in Zhouman, so she can only let him sit down for a while. She will wait for the rest of the patients before going to the reception.

Because the last two patients were men, Dr. Wei stood by and watched. Seeing Zhou Man’s prescription, he compared it in his heart to the prescription that he prescribed in his heart. Once again, he couldn’t help sighing, it was still a lot worse. what.

Zhou Man not only prescribed prescriptions, but also prescribed acupuncture prescriptions, but she checked the time and said to the two patients: "You have to eat for the acupuncture. It's almost noon now. Go and eat something first. Come back later, I will give you a needle."

  The two immediately responded.

  As soon as the patient left, Dr. Wei immediately called the teenager next to him and smiled with Zhou Man: "Master Zhou, this is a dog."

He had communicated with Zhou Man and knew that she didn’t want to be polite, so she also directly said, “I heard that Lord Zhou is accepting apprentices. What do you think of my son? He has studied with me for a few years. Grasping medicine is not a problem, adults can call him if they need it, if they are dull, they can beat and scold at will."

  The young man stood quietly to the side, and nodded in agreement when Zhou Man looked over.

   Zhou Man turned her head to look at Dr. Wei. In fact, she didn’t care about his son. She liked him, but how did she say this?

  So sad.

See you tomorrow
